FOR COTTON MONOPOLY.

Daniel L. Sully, so we'll known this
country over for his dealings on the
cotton market, has an article in the
Cosmopolitan for April on the forma-
ton of cotton trust. He speaks of
the possibilities of immense fortune
to be made by combination TO con-
try as has been done with the iron
and oil products. But because of the
immense amount of capital such
movement would require he despairs
Of it's being done through private
means and therefore, proposes that
the government enter into this
scheme. This article by Mr.. Sully has
brought forth the following editorial
by the. New Orleans Picayune:
These Southern States Of the great
American Republic enjoy through the
peculiarities of soil and climate vir-
tual monopoly Of the production OF
the cotton fiber. but for various rea-
sons, largely lack of capital and or
ganization, this is one OF the monopo-
lies that has failed to control the
worlds markets, although the staple
is in universal demand.
petroleum and steel are in the
hands of American combinations that
are able to control the markets of the
world, and it would appear that cot
ton could be brought under some
such conditions. The steel and oil
trusts have not only proved enor-
mously profitable to those Who control
them, but, although they are owned
by private parties. they cannot be
brought under the operation of the
United States laws against trusts and
combinations, and seem to enjoy spe-
ciar and peculiar privileges.
These conditions have encouraged
the notion that if cotton could be
brought under the control of sufi-
cient, combination, and be enabled
also to secure exemption from the
operation of the laws which are en-
forced against ordinary prohibited
trusts, it would soon develop into Il
power that would control the worlds
market and place its managers among
that wonderful and almost omipotent
class, the worlds richest men,"
