American Cotton SUPREMACY.

An appropriation of S12, OOO, 900 by the
German government-on condition that
German manufacturers raise a larger
sum,-to encourage cotton growing in the
colonies of the Fatherland, has called at
tention anew to the supremacy of Ameri-
ca in the production of this great staple
In average years the fields of the United
States produce more than three-quarters
of the cotton crop of the world. We hold
our own, although, since our civil war
many and costly attempts have been made
in various parts of Asia and Africa to
compete with our cotton growing states.
Today Texas alone produces nearly as
much as all nom American countries COM
bined During the year ending September
l. 1906, our cotton crop aggregated H.
Sl9,S60 bales, of which c, ZIG, 351 bales were
exported to Europe. During the same
period, the East Indies, Egypt, and the
rest of the world produced 1862 900 bales.
The production of Russia is increasing
rapidly. According to Baron Kanexo,
three-quarters of all the raw cotton used
In the Mikado's empire comes from this
country. The fact underlying the whole
situation is that the worlds demand for
cotton is expanding far more rapidly than
the worlds supply.-[Review of Reviews.

Common Honesty is What Is Wanted.
New York World

The best restorative of public confidence
in railroads and railroad securities is
demonstrated common honesty. Yet what
has been the attitude of the financial
world toward the Hartman transactions
in which the facts are admitted and are
matters of official record? It has been one
of protection and apology, has it not?
Mr.. Harriman's dummy directors have
sustained him. Mr. Harriman's bankers
have defended him and appealed to Mr.
Roosevelt to restore confidence that Har-
riman's methods destroyed Wall street
and its newspapers, instead of admitting
the truth proceed to curse the President
of the United States for exposing the
Hartman swindles and to damn state
legislatures for trying to protect public
rights. And now they are all Swelling
in chorus for Mr.. Roosevelt to say some
thing that will reassure the people and
convince them that fragrant dishonesty
In railroad management ought not to be
taken seriously.
