CARRYING LIGHT INTO DARK
PLACES.

In appears that the attitude OF the
Southern Cotton Association, and its
renewed warnings and advices to
growers Of cotton have not passed
Nnnoticed abroad. and the comments
at least of the Calcutta Capital are
not at all nice and brotherly. The
Capital says:
The resolutions OF the United
States cotton growers to hold their
crop OF Y d per pound and to re-
strict the area put under cultivation
in the current year is one OF the most
striking examples of the fruits of
protectionism In any such step no
consideration is shown Tor any inter
est except that OF the particular
group instituting it. These cotton
growers do not care d farthing for
either the cotton spinners and weaE-
ers of New England and Georgia, or
for those OF other countries. Their
sole object is plumber, no other word
can be found for IT, If they can prey
upon their neighbOrs by eXacting an
excessive price for the commodity
they have to sell they consider them

that there should be some distinct rec

asked permission to be buried In the
