one
Resolved fu,the,, Tha, we do not be-
leve that Che prices Of cotton seed san
De fixed as arbitrarily as that Of cotton,
because we have a practical monopoly
If cotton, while cotton seed and the
products of it have 20 compete with the
products of the COW, the olives she lin
eed, the olive oil, the creamery butter,
ard, etc, but we demand chat it shall !
'e protected all the same, by advertising
IS products, demanding dollar for dollar
or its value, and by advising the grow !,
RS of both cotton ana cotton seed to =
lold for its true value.
Resolved, that one of the curses of the :
south, valuable in many respects, is the :
manner IN which our cotton ginneries
re constructed namely, so as to blow
he cotton seed into the box cars The
hut-up-ed-ness of the box car surpasses
II understanding Its inside becomes a
nystery, like a whited sepulchre The
eed, if raw, may heat Demurrage
tarts to day. So when the cotton seed
1agnates see it, they smack their lips Q
Ike the tiger, which has already de- d
CURED the land 1t virtually is theirs. .
hey fix the price as if it already be-
onged to them (scrupulously, of course, {
2 our lnteresD, just as the New York j
Exchange does! We advise, therefore, b
hat every cotton seed grower build o
warehouses; to store his cotton seed. and l:
Ike care OF them as if they were pure t
old. c
