SHELDON is SANcTIFIED.

Sheldon has been to Washington
and Roosevelt has sent him away
with an immunity bath.
Like the faithful Miohammedan who
enters and leaves a mosque, he has
been cleansed, purified and sanctif1ed.
Hereafter Sheldon can receive money
from corrupt sources, but the touch OF
his hands which have been made in
capable of wrong doing by the touch
of RooseveIt's hand will make the cash
as pure aS~virgin gold.
What boots it if Sheldon is an act
i've moving spirit in some Of the most
infamous trusts in the United States?
Has he not stood and talked face to
face with T. Roosevelt?
Sheldon may, have been mixed up
with the whisky trust and with steel
company that is the malignant enemy
of organized labor. Sheldon may have
been the head devil of the oil group
of banks in New York city. Sheldon
today is truly eminent, truly good,
and truly holy because ie has stood IN
His Presence at the White House.
If any man hereafter criticises Shell
don, let him beware. That man be-
comes a candidate Immediately for
the Down and Out Club, the Ananias
Club, or the In Bad Club. and if he
L.
him in all three clubs.
This is campaign of splendid by
pocrisy. Be a successful servant of
trusts and corporations, keep the pub
lie from getting the actual goods on
you, keep your letters from Standard
Oil away from Hearst's bright young
men, get an appointment on the re-
publican national committee, stand
pat. and under the aegis OF the Roose
veltian code OF political morals, you
are distinguished and patriotic citi-
zen working for the good of our COM
mon country.
If, however. you happen to be for
Bryan and talk out in meeting and
make charge that is damaging, you
are in danger of a Roosevelian blast
which carries on its wings death and
damnation.

Pensacola as a Cotton Market.
From The Pensacola Journal of last

buyers are prepared to go Mobile one

this section, to-wit: West Florida

per cent. of the market price of cot
ton at date of delivery and then store

subject to orders of the farmers,
charging only 20 cents per bale for

us as an exceedingly liberal offer in

PRODUCTION OF COTTON.
Fluctuations Measured by Variations
in Amount Raised in This Country.

Washington, Nov. S-The worlds
production of cotton for mill consump-
ton during the year ending Aug. 81.
1908. exceeded by 2340.0 600 bales the
production of the previous year, ac-
cording to the census bureaus report
on the supply and distribution of cot
ton. II is a significant fact. the report
says that fluctuations in the world :
supply is measured practically by the
variations in the annual production in
the United States.
If the consumption of cotton in 1909
equals that of 1908, the United States,
il is declared. must contribute about
2.5GO. 600 bales to prevent further de-
crease in the stocks. The number OF
cotton spindles in this country is 81
9ei.3S7. having increased 90 per cent
in the last eight years. and the con-
sumption of cotton "a per cent.
The annual exports of manufactured
cotton are declared to be subject to
wide fluctuations. those of 1905
amounting to SETTLES, or less than
one-haIf the value of exports of 1906.
An interesting fact to producers is that
of the total cotton supply of the country
for 1908. amounting to 4.549, 300 bales,
"a per cent was consumed in the Unit
ed States.
