cotton at lower price tnan the one
he quotes III order to complete his
trade.
All must come at last to the actual
producer-thc cotton farmer. He
holds the key of the situation. He
possesses the goods which tne world
demands. If he will recognize the
futllity Of exchange made prices, re-
fuse to be bound by them, learn how
the prices of his commodities are lug
gled and realize that the man who
sells what he does not possess it not
IN any respect in his position, he will
continue to stand firm. Even the
cotton speculator who has sold Ntfu-
turcs' must eventually become a purA
chaser.
That the farmers Of the south will
stand like a rock wall against these

FARMER SAFE, IF HE HOLDS
FIRM

Evidence is accumuating Of the
conspiracy to make the southern far
mer part with MS cotton for less than
1t is worth. The plot thitkcns every
day. The effect of the manipulations
OF the cotton gamblers has already
been seen in the depressed price of
fntures-figurcs which ii lies within
the power of the cotton grower to
make absolutely meaningless.
Now comes one of the greatest
known cotton bears, Theodore II.
Price, who has circulated by mail
signed card which presents strong
evidence of another prospective bear
raid-if the farmers will submit to
ralding. Here is what Mr.. Price says
IN his circular, which seems to be a
sort OF preparation for his expected
IL told you so,' later on in the
game:
While | have estimated the Amcri-
can crop at 12,500,OOO bales, I think
it quite possible it may be 13,5OO,OOO
or more, and, in that ease with the
manifest contraction in trade, T shall
not be surprised to see cotton sell at
3 cents a pounds or lower. 1t is be-
cause l venture the suggestion Of
this possibility at time when near
ly everyone is bullish that I ask those
who receive this card, to preserve it,
that II l am wrong it may be a matter
Of record.
What tempting bit of bait to lure
the farmer to part with his cotton at
present prices!
This circular appears to have been
ingeniously distributed in the rural
districts, among the growers of cot
ton, no doubt in the hope they will
swallow the hook, sinker and oil.
The Farmers Union, when it met
IN Little Rock and fixed the minimum
price of cotton at Is cents, knew lust
as much about the situation as Mr..
Price, and perhaps little bit more.
That minimum was not based on
the worlds supply alone; it was
based upon the worlds increased de-
mand!
with supply Of cotton practically
the same as that of last season, and
known demand Of far greater pro-
portions, it is unqucstoncd that cotton
Is worth more than then. IT was worth
