THE soUTH's SOLID BASIS.

Veteran observers Of the markets
have marveled at the manner in
which cotton has held its own despite
the tremendous movement from gin
to spindle and the utter absence of
bull speculation. 1t is but ten years
since a crop Of 100000 drove the
price to cents for middling at the
outports; now a production indef-
nitely huge brings double as much
per pound and there is an eager buy.

South's ability 10 sell with intelli.
gcnce instead Of hoisting the action
flag during the first four months of
the season The effects of the
change have been truly magical. The
country banks are full of money,
lands have appreciated to on almost
incredible extent, churches and
schools and all other high interests
have been easy to sustain. The new
regime hardly seems real to the men
and women who struggled through
the old one The feeling is pretty
much that of the beggar who sudden

TARIFF REVISION SENTIMENT.


Tariff revision is beginning to both.
er the Republicans sure enough. De-
spite the control OF the administration
by the stand pat element. the revis
lonists are becoming bolder of speech
and action. Many Of them are even
going 50 far as TO demand an eXtraor-
binary session Of the Sixtieth con
gress for the purpose of enacting a
new tariff law. Most Of the members
Of the Wisconsin delegation have de-
clared in favor OF an extraordinary
session. Senator La Toilette has Dc.
clared for It and even Senator Spoon.
er has brayed the wrath Of his stand.
pat associates by declaring in favor
Of revision.
As an additional indication of a po.
tent sentiment for revision may be
mentioned the fact that Governor
Guild and 222 out OF 2SO members Of
the Massachusetts legislature have
petitioned the president and congress
for prompt action, says the Houston
Post.
Nevertheless, nothing will be done.
There Is going to be no extraordinary
session and tariff revision can not
be undertaken by a congress sitting
at the time OF the assemblage of the
national conventions, for any tariff
law, good or bad would temporarily
disturb business sufficiently to create
havoc for the responsible party at
the polls. OF course, IL the matter
should be postponed by the SiXtieth
congress until after the election and
the Republicans should be successful
in clecting a president, the standpat.
ters would Immediately conclude that
the standpat doctrine had been ap-
proved by the people and the Sixty
first congress would not be permitted
to amend the law.
The greatest political fake the coun-
try has ever known Is the empty
pledge that the Dingley tariff will be
revised by its friends" For years
this promise has been made and the
Republican revisionists have been
waiting patiently for some move in
the promised direction, but nothing
has yet been done. The congress
elected in the off-ycar refuses to touch
the question because it will affect the
presidential elections and the con
gress elected with the president let's
II alone because they claim the peo-
pie have given their instructions in
favor of Dinpleyism.
This triiling with the public senti-
ment will continue until the tariff
revision Republicans become disgust
ed with it ana proceed to elect tariff
reform congress and administration,
which they are very likely to do be-
fore many years.
The expression of the Wisconsin
Republicans, the lowans, the Massa-
chusetts people and other of the
North show that the people are be-
coming rather impatient with the
standpat doctrine and that unless
their wishes are complied with they
intend TO take the matter into their
own hands when least expected.
