where the Ice tongs are attached. The
remaining portion, with the rope, D,
attached gives plenty of leverage for
lifting the heavy cakes.

Ice should be cut with saw into

PRICES OF COTTON
Under Democratic and Republican Ad-
ministrations
Cotton Averaged a Cent Pound Higher During
CIevelands Entire Term Than Under hCkinleys
Entire Term. What Will 1t Go To Under the RoOse.
welt Panic? .4Eas
aEFaG

In 1900 the highest price was II, the
lowest was z S-16.
It will thus be seen that cotton
reached its lowest price during tht
years 1898 and 1899 of McKlnley's ad-
ministration. Taking the average price
during the administrations OF CleVe-
land and Mckinley, we find that Tor
the wear 1898, the first year of CleVe-
lands administration. cotton averaged
s 2-2 cents per pound. The first year
of AIcKinley'S administration cottor
averaged 1916 cents per pond.
In 1894, the second year OF CleVe-
lands administration, cotton averaged
6 15-16 cents per pound. The second
year of McKinley's administration cot
ton averaged ) 1915 cents per pound
The third year of Clevelands ad-
ministration cotton averaged I 1872
cents per pound. The third year OF
! McKinley's administration cotton
! averaged 27-32 cents per pound.
! The fourth year OF Cleveland's ad-
ministration cotton averaged s las
cents per pound. The last year OF
| McKinley's administration cotton
averaged 81 cents per pound.
1t will thus be seen that cotton
averaged during. Cleveland's admins
tratiOn 81 cents per pound. and
Z lie cents per pound.
The lowest average price cotton
has ever sold at since any record has
been kept of its price was during the
three first years of McKinley's admin
istration.
The prices referred to We're New
York prices. North Carolina prices
were at least Il to q of a cent less
than the New York prices.
I trust that these figures may be of
some service to you. They are accu-
rate. OF their accuracy I have nc
doubt. They are collected from {
publication issued in 1907, made by
Alfred Shepperson, recognized as one
of the most accurate cotton statisti
clans of the United States, and they
are verified by examination of thu
books of some of the cotton mer
chants of Wilson.
You will notice that during the year
1893, 1894 and 1895, while at SOM
periods during the season cotton
reached in 1893 IA cents, during tn

The Republican, panic
has put the whole country in q frame
OF mind TO impartially investigate the
truth of history in its bearing upon
the relation of national adminlstra-
lions to good times and hard times,
and this investigation is bringing q
wonderful, if belated. vindication OF
the Democratic record.
1t has been abundantly proven, and
is not denied, that all the panics in
our history since the war have come
under Republican administrations, eX-
cept the one of 1893, and it has been
we'll established that this one had its
beginning under HarrisOns admins
tration.
Farm products have been the last
to feel the effects Of this present
Roosevelt panic; but, with the price
Of cotton tumbling to near cents, in
a m-smitten. short-crop year, at
fecting most seriously the farming
interests of the South, it should pre-
pare the farmers of the South to give
careful consideration to the facts OF
history as to the relation of national
administrations to the great staple
crop of the South.
Hon. +. A. Woodland, of Wilson, n.
c., has furnished the compilation OF
prices of cotton under Cleveland's and
under McKinley'S administration
which is given below, and these prices
should be read and considered in the
light of the fact shat the price of cot
ton cannot possibly be affected by q
protective tariff, as the price is fixed
in the markets of the world, while tho
cost of producing cotton has been very
largely increased by the exactiOns Of
:, high tariff and the rObberies Of
taFiff-CFeatcd and ROOSeVelt-DPOtecte(
trusts.

ard, from the highest statistical au
thQrity, are as follows;

To have prosperity we must pro-
tect the depositors and thus induce
them to take their money out of hid
ing and restore it to the channels OF
trade. The Republican party does
not promise protection OF deposits
| The Democratic party does. The
Democratic party promises legisla-
ton which will insure depositors. The
man who puts his money in a bank
must know that he can withdraw i;
at any time, and this SECURITY would
| be given by the banks, because the
| banks make their money out of their
depositors. If we are going to have
prosperity we must have a reduction
of the tariff. The people recognize
the tariff is eXtortionate. Even the
republican leaders are forced to ad-
NIT this, and yet they are deliberately
planning to prevent any real revision
by electing stand-pat Congress
while the Republican candidate is
talking about revision, without giving
any assurance that revision will mean
a material reduction. If the Republi-
can party wins, it will not revise the
tariff in the interest of consumer and
that means that the present agitation
must continue for four years longer.
i DO the business men want busi-
ness unsettled? Do the businss men
want an extension of this agitation ?
: DO they want business to be unsettled
by four years of discussion over tariff
rates? If the Democratic party wins
there will be an immediate reduction
OF the tariff which will satisfy the
public demand and remove the tariff
, question from politics for u number il
, years. A Democratic victory mean!

NOTED PIANIST COMING.

An event of considerable import
ance in musical circles and among the
amusement lovers of this city is the
announcement that Herr Selmar jan
son, the eminent pianist of Berlin,
Germany. will appear in a piano re-
cital in Brownsville Friday night, De
cember the 18th.
Mr. Janson is taking a recreation
trip through the Gulf Coast Country
of Texas and will spend several days
in Brownsville and Corpus christi.
Through the efforts of Mr.. Albert J.
Biggio of this city, who is a personal
friend of MIR Janson's manager, the
eminent young artist was induced to
give a recital during his stay here.
Mr.. Jansen has been in America for
the past two years and has given
concerts in the principal cities of the
north and east, being received with
great ovations and crowded houses
wherever he has appeared. His ex-
cellent and well deserved success
abroad placed him in the front ranks
of the artists of the world and his
coming to America was heralded
throughout this country as one OF the
greatest acquisitions to the musical
ranks of America
Herr Janson is pupil of Sally Lie
bling, who was a pupil oil LIT, and
Janson has aptly acquired the Lit
traditions and conception of interpre-
tation that he is regarded as the
greatest pianist of the Lit school.
During the two years previous to his
coming to America, Prof. Janson
taught the finishing classes in piano
at the Breslau Conservatory in Ber-
lin, reputed as one of the greatest
Conservatives in the world, which
alone is ample testimony as to his
ability as an artist and pedagOgue.
Brownsville people may well feel
elated over having an opportunity
to hear Herr Janson in recital with
out the usual expense of travelling to
a metropolis. where he is usually
heard
