THE PRICE OF COTTON.

The low prices of June have been
suddenly displaced in the cotton mar
ket by twelve-cent cotton. In New
Orleans middling spots are worth
twelve cents, and all futures are sell
ing above that price.
These new prices have small rela-
tion to the present crop of about 13,
100000 bales. They are based on a
new crop that may not exceed 10000,
900 bales. This estimate is based on
a reported condition by the Depart
ment of Agriculture Of 74.6, six points
below the average condition at this
period in the season of the last ten
years.
The worlds visible supply of cot
ton is not large, although the crop
outturn in the present cotton year
will be one of the largest in the his
tory of the trade. A crop of 10000, ,000
bales grown this year would indeed
fail to meet the demands of naked
world. Twelve-cent cotton would ap-
pear cheap in that contingency.
The condition of cotton crop on
June % leaves room for great many
guesses. The weather at present is
favorable. 1t may remain so. Again,
it may not. In the uncertainty the
bulls are having an inning, and the
large farmers of the South may de-
eide to turn an uncertainty into a GER
tainty by selling December cotton up
to the size Of their respective grow
ing crops.

ABE LINCOLN SPOKE TRULY.

On such articles as steel beams,
quicksilver, castor oil, turpentine,
nails, glass, hemlock timber, caustic
soda, sulphuric acid, phosphate rock,
opium and the like, Bradstreet's re-
ports prices lower than they were a
year ago. These articles are not
good as a steady diet. They can
neither be eaten or worn. They neith-
er satisfy hunger nor clothe naked
ness. Let us look at another list.
Prices have been increased in the
course of year on wheat, corn, oats,
barley, rye, flour, eggs, pork, bacon,
hams, lard, butter, mlackerel, coffee,
tea, beans, potatoes, apples, lemons,
raisins, print cloths, ginghams, etc.
This is why the cost of living is going
up. This is why the consumer is hard
pressed every month, and the special
a new tariff bill are not lifting a hand
or duty that will lessen his burden.
The unchanged list is largely made up
of lead, coke, tar, lime, nitric acid,
hops, none of which find their way to
the table of the consumer.
The party that is engaged in in
creasing the cost of living and in pun
ishing insurgents-the Aldrich-Can-
non party-will hear from the people
next fall in way that will not be
misunderstood Abraham Lincoln s
words will come true-you can fool
some of the people some of the time
but you cannot fool all the people all
the time.

THE GREAT AMERICAN GAME.
Eastern Carolina League Exhibiting q
Good Article of Ball.

There's more people interested in
baseball, the great American game,
than any other sport in the world.
Any week day will find an attendance
in New York or any of the large cities
of from ten to fifteen thousand peo-
pie, while on Saturday or holiday
upwards of thirty thousand people
witness the games. 1t is the kind of
sport that makes the old feel young
and makes one forget the worries of
business, makes you laugh and grow
fat.
1t is noticeable fact that the East
ern North Carolina League is playing
faster ball than the big leagues, which
fact, coupled with the fact that the
management of the Goldsboro team
have spared neither time nor expense
to give the people of Goldsboro team
they can we'll be proud of should
cause our people to give liberal sup
port by attending the games. Our at
tendance thus far has been fair.
Every able-bodied man, woman and
child ought to attend these games .to
encourage the team and show them
by their presence that they are with
them, heart and soul, and will stick
by them to help them give the people
in Eastern North Carolina ball that is
snappy and as good as any in the
whole United States.

Louisville, KY, July "A lively

precinct in this city. The precinct is

EFFECTS OF PROTECTION.

The Senate has passed the corpora
ton tax. It is really another embar-
RAISING Aldrich confession-a confes-
sion that something is needed by the
treasury because the Aldrich tarih
will not yield sufficient revenue. It is
an aggregation of jobs for the benefit
of special interests and to rob con-
sumers. It is violation from top to
bottom of Mr.. Taft's campaign prom
ises, and the conspirators are en-
gagged in sugar coating it with cor
poration tax and a constitutional
cost of living will be increased under
it and the consumers will have their
inning In the fall of 1910.
Senator Johnston presented the
Democratic situation when he said on
the floor of the Senate that while nc
Democratic senator desired as free
choice over the income tax the corpo-
ration tax, yet all are constrained to
vote for it as the best remedy in sight
for the Aldrich non-revenue prohibi-
tive tariff. Three Democrats Cham
berlain, of Oregon; Hughes, of Colo
rado, and Shively, of Indiana-did
refuse to vote for 1t.
AS a revenue measure the corpora
ton tax will outrun the estimates of
even it's warmest advocates. AS a
publicity expedient in supervising
corporations it will commend itself to
many, and Senator Bourne Is undoubt-
edly correct when he says it will ever
remain on the country's statute book.
But nevertheless Senator Aldrich
stands convicted by confession Of two
things-of supporting the corporation
