bales. THIS compares With an average
estimate OF li9 members OF the Liver-
pool Cotton Exchange for a crop OF
11,935G00 bales, ana an average esti-
mate of 1893. 900 bales of the members
of the Memphis Cotton Exchange. 1t
will be noticed that this represents a
striking unanimity OF opinion of these
three widely separated bodies. The
governments preliminary estimate on
the crop will be announced in this re-
port. due on December 10th. IT will
be made up from returns received on

In Address on Socialism Editor Says Race
Suicide Command Was Given only to the
Poor to Prevent Stock Of Slaves" From
Running Out.

Roosevelt didn't say to the Harri-
mans, Vanderbilts, Rockefellers,
Goulds and Astors, See that we don't
have race suicide said Rev. J. o.
Benthall, editor of the Christian So
cialist, in his address at Taylor hall
last evening. Instead the command
was given to the poor working classes
Of our country. This, my brothers,
was a great oversight on the part Of
the great man at Washington, for If
we would allow the stock Of the
slaves to run out, he and his rich
brothers would have to put their
shoulders to the wheel Of common la
Dor to produce and provide for theIn-
selves and their progeny

ment. charged no admission to his
lecture. He was there to spread the
propaganda Of socialism and not for
any pecuniary profit that might accrue
to him.
Roosevelt knows that the children
of the dissipating rich are weak both
in mody and mind the speaker con-
tinued," and It Is probable
that his wisdom also suggested the
statement. 1t is better to let the rich
race die off than to bring forth a gem
Grafton of idiots and cripples. The ut
ter lack of the mother instinct in the
rich women Of today Is thing ds-
plorable beyond expression. Hugging
a poodle dog In their arms, there is no
pity in their hearts for the poor little
loyeless founding human beings who
fill our orphan asylums and into
whose lives no love ever enters.

why we have so many insane people
today is because We have no diversion.
