A BASIS FOR CREDIT.
The Potential Power of Cotton in
Finance

The Potential Power of Cotton in
Finance.
The American people are afraid OF
a central bank or Of any central finan-
cial control, because they believe,
whether with or without good reason
counts for nothing, that it would be
used in the interest of Wall street
and the great capitalists and against
the smaller financial institutions and
the country generally
For this reason a widespread influ-
ence welded by the masses Of the peo-
pie will be used in congress to pre-
vent the adoption of any central sys-
tenn that would avail to avert finan-
cial panics, and for some time to come
they must be expected to recur as
they have done in the past, strewing
the country with financial wrecks.
But the south has in its cotton crop
the material for the establishing, both
at home and abroad, of the basis of a
credit that would always bring money
from England and France, even when
it could not be got on any terms at
New York, and SO even when COM
plete dearth of money shut up all
northern sources of supply the busi-
ness of the south need not suffer.
England, France and some other
foreign countries must have our oot-
ton and they always have gold with
which to buy it, but unfortunately we
have no direct and immediate financial
relations with the great moneyed in
stitutions of those countries, and our

concluded the Charlestonians clam
ored for their bells, and it became the
duty of our first minister to the court
of ST. James to see that they were

cessful and the bells were, with much
ceremony, reinstalled in the church.
The next adventure came with the
civil war, when the steeple Of St
Michaeps was made a target for the
guns of the besiegers. The bells were
removed for safety to Columbia, but
when the army Of Sherman occupied
that town, the sheds in the yard Of
the state house wherein the bells had
been stored were broken into, and the
bells smashed into fragments sheds

The bells were not, however, COM

the civil war the pieces were carefully

To My Clients in

About one year ago l took the pains
and went to the expense of advising

ance companies would In future make
an extra charge in dwelling rates

suspended on iron stirrups and the
brick laid FLAT from bottom to top.
and the flue or fiues plastered inside.
In other words, If the brick were set
on edge or the fiue was terra Gotta
or metal. the charge would apply.
The reason for the charge Is that by
reason of their experience the COM
panies KNOW that many fires orig
mate from defective stove flues, and
all hues are defective except the kind
for which there IS no extra charge.
originally the rule did not apply to
towns that had adequate fire protec-
tlon, nut 1t does now, and recently
practically all the dwellings In York

cotton bills have to pass through New
i York hands, and so New York would
continue to dominate our cash supply.
What is needed to correct this sit
uation would be a vast and compre-
hensive system of warehousing and
controlling the bulk of the cotton crop
and distributing 1t to the foreign de-
prices, the money received for 1t be-
ing shipped at once or held abroad
subject to draft when required.
We have become so entirely de-
pendent on New York to handle our
foreign exchange and get our money
for us that we would scarcely venture
to walk in such a manner alone, freed
from the surveillance of a wet nurse.
But, without doubt, the south has In
it's own hands the means of COM
manding a money supply when all the
New York banks are closed and their
bushes customers are forced to live
on clearing house certificates.
In it's cotton the south has the ma
terial basis of independence in an ar
ticle wanted as a necessary Of life
in every commercial country in the
world, always sold for cash, and capa-
BILE of furnishing a billion dollars Of
credit. What Is required Is to find
some means Of using 1t In such di-
rect and unfailing way that it will
bring cash by steamship or wire.
No other country on the globe has
such an advantage, and the only other
nation that even remotely possesses
"a like resource is Brazil, with it's cof-
fee. What is most desirable for us Is
not to create q combination to keep
up the price Of cotton, but a system
by which we can Immediately, at
need, convert our solid cotton credit
into fluid credit for cash In a serious
emergency like that Of a financial
panic.
How to accomplish this when we
have the material at hand, Is q prob
lem Of the greatest importance.-New
Orleans Picayune.

man Brennan, author Of the Brennan
cold storage law was talking in AL
bany about a dealer who objected to
the labelling of cold storage products
says the st. Louis Republic.
This mans objection to the words
cold storage on cold storage goods
said Mr.. Brennan, recall vividly to
my mind an Ithaca boy.
THE boy had gone in for chicken
raising and had dcne we'll. He pos.
sessed an egg-dating stamp. You
could always tell. when you bought an
egg from him, whether 1t would be
best to eat it soft boiled or to use it as
a political missile.
But the football season came on
eggs got high and scarce, and the boy
began to waver in his virtue.
And one day while he was still
wavering, he found under a hedge a
whole nestful of eggs. He took them
home and showed them to his mother
81 don't know what to date them,
he said doubtfully.
We'll, break one said his mother
That will give you some idea of their
date
so the boy broke one Of the eggs
and the odor was as though a sewer
had burst.
Lets see,' said his mother. This
is November 10. Date them Novem-
Der 10, 1910.'
But the boy, as he got out his egg
dating machine answered:
No; they might have been laid in
1909 or even in 1908. I'll just date
them November 10, without this year
Then I'll be misleading nobody"
