Revolution In Cotton Growing.

A revolution in cotton growing in the
South is at the door. While small cot
ton farms will for many years continue
to grow the bulk of the crop, yet the
day of immense cotton plantations,
owned by companies and cultivated by
machinery, is fast approaching.
As in the Northwest are to be found
wheatfields nearly as large as the state
!of Rhode Island, where steam plows,
Islsction engines, cultivators, reapers
and steam threshers do the work of
thousands of hands, so in the near fu-
ture the "cotton patch" of the South
seems destined to be broadened into
vast fields of thousands of acres where
labor-saving machinery, driven by
steam or electricity, will take the place
of the slow-moving mule and the easy
going negro in the production of the
fleecy staple.
These mechanical agencies will be
supplemented by scientific cultural
methods and two bales will be made to
grow where only one grew before.
The purchase of large tracts of land
by companies and capitalists in south
ern Mississippi and Texas to be put in
cotton, is but the beginning of the de-
velopment of broader system of COT
ton production in the South. Undoubt,
edly the high price at which cotton has
beer selling the past few years has
drawn the attention of men with money
to the inviting possibilities of growing
cotton on large scale just as wheat il
so profitably produced in the prairie
states of the West.
By the use of modern machinery anc
improved methods Of culture the cost
of production may be minimized in the
cotton fields as it is in every other fielc
| of human endeavor where capital con.
solidates to that end.
Under these conditions the cost o1
growing cotton can be so reduced as te
justify the use of cotton picking ma
chimes for gathering the crop even il
such mechanical pickers are so imper-
feet as to leave ungathered nearly x
per cent of the cotton produced.
At any rate, the trend of events is
towards concentration Of means anc
effort, economy of operation, intensive
methods and maximum of results with
minimum of cost in time, labor and
money.
Growing cotton on large scale ir
the South where conditions Of soil anc
climate are so favorable, will enable
the South to meet the worlds increas
ing demand for the staple, and will
make more secure the practical monop
oily of cotton production which thu
South now holds and which will Gro VI
her with untold wealth. Cotton ant

Why Should Protection Endure?

Both the democrats and the republi-
cans in Congress are answering this
question with.a vengeance. They are
20 emphatic in their common answer
that we are now enabled to look upon
the strange transformation Of the SEN
ate from republican to democratic
body all Of which is due to revulsion
Of sentiment and conviction on the
matter Of protection.
Every thoughtful citizen in America
who has been pay ing for protection
without sharing in its benefits must
have long ago and repeatedly asked of
himself Why protection should longer
endure to enrich a few and impoverish
the many.
A conspicuous beneficiary of the pro-
lection policy Of our government is
Andrew Carnegie, whose annual in
come is more than $25, 900, 900. When
the scheme Of protection was set up
the workingman was fooled into the
belief that he would benefit by it, but
after forty years of practical applica-
ton and the present summing up Of the
result it is found that the Carnegies
rea;ed the reward, while the actual
workers, the producers, received only a
bare living.
While Carnegie was amassing for
tune which now yields him an annual
income Of SIS, ,000, 900 the average wage
| he paid the men who worked for him
was less than $500 year.
Carnegie, through poorly paid labor
and the power of protection" has q
perpetual annual income of $25, 900, 900,
while the men who helped him make il
may receive $500 annaally-if they
keep their health and can hold their
jobs.
The hundreds of other protected
manufacturers are no less culpable for
taking unto themselves the lions share
of the protected" wealth than is Car
negie, for a somewhat similar story
may be told of every manufacturer
who has had wealth legislated into his
pocket
Il would have been an economic mar
vel if the fabulous wealth diverted by
protection into the Golfers of the few
had been equally distributed among the
laborers who, with the aid of the gov
eminent, made possible the accumula
tion. and what monstrous fallacy in
econor.ics must be the scheme OF pro-
lection which has given the Carnegies
such enormous unearned wealth?
We have long heard the cry that pro-
lection prevents the American lsbore'
from coming into competition with the
pauper labor Of Europe, yet during the
wears from 1900 to 1910, 5000, 900 alien'
| took up their permanent abode in thi.
