In the year of grace 1909 Hayne,
Patten and some other bull lead
ers were indicted in the Federal
courts because it was alleged they
"conspired together" and formed a
pool that forced the price of cot
ton up to a point SO far above the
cost OF production that the "busi-
ness interests" of the country were
most seriously affected or in other
words that they had formed a
conspiracy in restraint of trade
etc. Now in the year of grace 1911
the bear leaders in New York have
conspired together and formed q
clique that has forced the price of
-eotton down to a point below the
cost of production, but strange to
say no indictments have been hand
ed out from Wickershams office.
Ii it is a crime to force the price
or cotton up it should be a still
greater crime to force it down. In
the face of present conditions Wick
ersham should either dismiss the in
dlctments against Hayne, Patten and
others or he should promptly issue
indictments for every broker in the
country who is selling cotton for
future delivery. The proposition
Is squarely up to Wickersham.

rakes off a profit that is paid by
the Southern farmer. The late War
ren George who advocated this
plan and was enterprising enough
to make a personal visit to Liver
pool and arrange for the shipment
of cotton direct to the European
spinner, was only 10 years ahead
of his time. The time is coming
when the local buyer can load his
cotton at any shipping point in the
South and get a bill of lading
to Europe. Not only does the farm
er lose the middleman's profits un-
der the present arrangement. but
he loses also in weight and grades
Every bale of cotton handled by
the American exporter is carefully
graded before it goes into a ships
hold and the person who has never
given this feature of the cotton
business close attention would be
surprised to know how much mon
ey the South loses every year in the
difference between the low averages
at the local markets and the high
averages at the exporting places
This is one line of the cotton bu-
siness which seems to have escaped
the attention of the farmers un-
ions altogether.

A Pee Dee man whose name is
not given to the public advises the
farmers Of the South to buy cotton
futures and not to plant an acre of
cotton next year. We do not be-
NeVe in any form of gambling. but
merely as means of testing that
oft repeated aphorism about the
price of a commodity being controll-
ed by the law of supply and de-
mand we should like to see the ex-
pertinent tried. If three-fourths of
the cotton farmers would adopt this
suggestion the chances are that not
only the New York Cotton Ex-
shange, but Wall street as well,
would go into bankruptcy. No
doubt this would bring about a
great calamity, but we would be
willing to go hungry and half cloth
ed for year or two to have the
pleasure of witnessing a general
shaking up of certain interests that
seem to take a delight in catching
the farmer by the nape of the neck
and shaking the life out of him
every time the opportunity pre-
sents itself. 1t will take something
like financial earthquake to
wrest the money power from Wall
street, but If such violent measures
are necessary to bring about a more
even distribution of the country e
wealth, then the next BLACK Fri
809'" which the country has been
expecting for the past several years
may not be without its blessings al.
