unreasonably high price, and the cot
ton grower, we believe, does not wish
to make such price. The grower
cannot afford to plant cotton at an
unreasonably low price, and the mills
do not wish him to do so. If these
two factorsr--the grower and the
manufacturer-were the only ones
who had to be reckoned with there
would he no struggle. The grower
would get a fair price for his staple
and the manufacturer would get his
fair profit for his goods The fight
that Is being wagcd is a three-cor-
nered affair, with the cotton gambler
at one corner, while the manufactu-
positions. each of the latter menaced
by the stock exchanges and cotton
gamblers. If the future feature
could be eliminated there would be
no fight, for the common law Of sup
ply and demand would be the arbiter
Of the situation.
1t Is the middle man who creates
at times fictitious price. SO high
that the mills cannot stand it. and
then 1t is that the grower, if he hap
pens to have cotton on hand, reaps a
harvest he has not earned. On the
other hand. other gamblers manipu-
late prices at times to the other eX-
treme, and the mills, if they happen
to be short Of cotton, and load up
quickly at the abnormally low figure,
reap harvest that they had no hand
in making; and in this instance the
producer is the sufferer.
Always the gambler has one Of the
two great Southern industries at his
mercy. If prices are forced up by
fictitious "bull" conditions, the
Southern mill industry suffers as a
whole, while some few producers
reap harvest along with the "bull"
gambler. If the prices are forced
down by fictitious "bear'' conditions,
then the producers as a whole suffer,
while some few mills will reap har-

that conditions must eventually rally

supply and actual demand.
1t will be we'll when our two in

they can go hand in hand to their
mutual advantage. We cannot be-
