 There can be no reasonable doubt whatever that if the minority had had any convictions upon the subject of currency legislation, or upon the sub ject of other legislation not included in the pork barrel" bill, they could have by effective opposition either compelled an improvement upon the law finally enacted, or better yet postponed leg islation until congress was ripe to con slder it calmly anu wisely. From q still broader aspect of the case, it is a pity that political events have SO shaped themselves in this country for the time being that the majority are left to fol- low their own arbitrary will It is good for neither the party in power nor the country

MIR. CLEvELAND's ILLNESS.

The solicitude with which the coun- try at large has watched for tho re- turn of former President Cleveland's health, at least to the point where 1t would be possible for him to trayel to his home, testifles as nothing else could have done to the widespread and non-partisan respect in which he Is held by the people of the United States. Nor has the fact been forgot ten that even MT. Bryan, who has up- on many occasions said bitter things of the ex-president, yielding to the tender impression made by that gen. tleman's serious illness. offered a ;eso- lution of regret at the conference Of governors at Washington stating it to be common regret that he was un- able to be present.
 The position which former Presi- dent Cleveland occupies to-day in the estimation of all right minded people must be a source of great comfort 10 him and his family. The patience with which he has endured the long period of unkind political villifca.ion Is only equallcd by the patience he has shown during these months of serious illness. He probably knows as the world has concluded in its in- tuitive way that his days of robust living are gone. He Is not likely to again follow the stream with rod and line, or visit the summer homes which he has built with such affection for his wife and children. He may regain enough strength to enjoy in a mild and simple way the delightful stimulant of an outdoor rest, but for him the hurly burly of conflicting life, with its defense of great principles of government and its advocacy of the ends represented by honest men, has passed.
 Such man in such position de- serves every mark of affectionate res pect which men can pay him. There s no longer any argument as to the sin cerlty of his purpose when active 'n public life; no longer suspicion as to the intense patriotism of the mar; no longer a doubt as to his grau' judgment Grover Cleveland has cotnc into his own at time when he car contemplate the ultimate generosity and justice of his own people I | growing satisfaction.

sAvIN ROCK ARBITRATION.

An excellent business mems associa ton was recently formed at savln Rock among those who run the varl- the advancement of the resort In every ous amusements The objects of the as- sociatlon are, Of course, concerned with possible way. A credltable advertising campaign has now been conducted for some weeks all over this section of the country with success The newspapers in New London and other nearby places have looked on with envious eyes and wished their shore resort owners had similar associations.
 An organization of this sort should ever be on the lookout for new fields of effort Its work, in way, Is never done, for there Is always more to be attempted The last Sunday or two has seen more or less friction of a minor nature between the West Haven police and certain owners of attractions. It Is not for the concesslonists to argue with the police upon the right or wrong of the various games of chance which are allowed at other resorts of this nature and are not allowed here The police get their orders from their superiors. And, aside from that, there Is little doubt that the abolition of these at- fractions means less business at the Rock. At a resort such as Savin Rock is, 1t will always pay to cater to the most orderly classes, and to make the place just as highly respectable as Il can be made. To attempt to cater tc the rougher element may mean money for a season or two, but in the end loss of reputation and of patronage ever among the latter classes.
 On this principle, 1t would seem ad' visable for the Savin Rock Business Mems association to work in perfect harmony with the police, to anticipate their moves and, by means of mora suaslon among the owners of offensive attractions, eradicate any cause fol police action before it comes The less the police are mentioned in connection with savin Rock history the better fl will be for the Rock and for all New Haven

"ouiu D1Odu0u The mdTK0JS Tor COTTON
and by increasing the demand raise
the price Of cotton. Instead of this,
all our treaties are made with refer
ence to the manufacturer. An instance
OF this, and a very striking one, was
given when the senate rejected the
Kasson treaty in which France
agreed to such terms as would have
enabled us to sell her each year $780,
100000 worth Of cotton seed oil In
this treaty it was provided, however,
that France should have a slightly
lower duty on cotton hosiery It
so happened that one New England
mill was engaged in the manufacture
of stockings in that sort, and rather
than submit to a reduction Of it's
profit, this New England mill made a
fight upon the Kasson treaty and
knocked it out. In other words, the
government sacrificed the entire
south to preserve the monopoly Of
one little New England mill.
Where South is to Blame.
For the position in which she
finds herself the south is much to
blame. We have a natural monopoly
in cotton and haven't got sense
enough to know what to do with it.
The steel trust has monopoly built
up by bribery and all sorts Of wrong,
but it knows how to use it. It says
to the farmer: PAY my price for ag-
ricultural implements of all kinds or
your farm can grow up in scrub pines
and jack rabbits. The harvester trust
has its price and the grain may fall
in the field if the farmer is unwilling
to pay tribute in order to get the
scythe, the pillow, the mower, the reap
er and the harvester, which this same
harvester trust will sell to the South
ern American or Russian competitor
Of the American farmer at very
much smaller price than the Ameri-
can farmer is made to pay. The meat
packers have their price and the av-
erage citizen must pay it or must sit
down to a meal of white side meat,
black molasses and corn bread, seas
oned with hopes Of roast beef, veal
outlets and beefsteak which he may
enjoy in the sweet by and bye. The
coal trust has it's price, fixed by
George Baer, the divine right capital
ist, who, on being asked by report
err if it was true that he did fix the
price of coal, said angrily that it was
nobody's business whether he fixed
the price or not, and it was nobody's
business what the price was.
"But the farmer, having a real,
God-given monopoly, let's his rivals in
business take from him all the advan-
tage it gives him. For instance, in
1907, we sold abroad 9,708,000 bales
Of cotton. We we're paid for it

assured me that at a cost OF SIOU,
including what was paid for the raw
cotton at II cents pound, 5000
yards Of calico could be made out of
a 500-pound bale of cotton. If the
mills sold this calico at 5 cents per
yard, a bale of cotton, which cost
them $50, yielded them in manufac-
tured form $3.50, a profit of $50 on
the bale. If they only got A cents
per yard for calico, that Melted them
500 per bale on cotton.
"A Griffin, Ca, mill makes bath
towel that weighs l pound, and which
retails in Atlanta for 81. The whole
sale price of the towel is rs cents.
It probably takes more than 1 pound
of cotton to make 1 pound Of towel,
but not much more. Consequently
the way in which pound of cotton,
costing from 9 to IL cents, can be
turned into bath towel costing IS
cents, would seem to show that the
farmer is not getting a fair price for
his cotton.
"Why, then, the glut Of the mar
ket with unsold cotton goods? First,
because our high tariff charges pro-
voked retaliatory tariffs aimed at us
by other nations. Thus we are shut
out of foreign markets, to great
degree, and the cotton market Of the
world is thus narrowed. A narrow
ing of the market, of course, means
restriction of consumption, and a re-
striction of consumption means les
sening demand. Lessening demand,
IN turn, means falling price. The
second reason is that because the peo-
pie have not the money with which
to buy these high-priced cotton goods.
Now, the remedies: First of all
is the constitutional remedy. The
tariff on cotton goods should be lower
so that everything entering our mar
ket that is cheaper in price, would,
by the competition thus established
in the American market, force the
American manufacturer to reduce his
price to meet the competition. The
lower the price, the greater the
amount of consumption. The greater
the amount Of goods the people can
buy, the greater the amount of raw
cotton the factories will have to pur-
chase. Of course as the demand for
raw cotton advances, the price will
naturally rise. That method, however,
requires time and pressure upon con-
gress. Consequently it does not meet
the immediate necessities Of the case.
Coffee Trusts Remedy.

situation as the coffee trust dealt

They found the country could only

The trust found itself in possession
Of surplus of 100000 bags. They
simply retired that surplus from the
market, and kept it off from year to
year. They fed to the demand the
100000 bags which it needed. This
