IMPORTANCE OF THE COTTON
CROP

According to official reports the
cotton crop of the United States
promises to exceed that of any former
year in is hisory. The area of cul-
ure increased about . per cent over
that of last year and the total pro-
duct is estimated at 14,425, 900 bales
of the whaet and corn harvests would
of the wheat and corn harevts would
be more severely felt. an abundant
cotton crop is of far greater i'm
portance to the country's foreign and
domestic trade. For this reason its
condition, from planting to ginning
and baling is watched with keen in
terest by the financial world A
good crop means good times for the
South and for the cotton manufac-
turers in New England, as well as
old England, Germany and France
During the first ten months of the
fiscal year the imports of raw cotton
amounted in value to s21, 1S2, 1893,
nearly all of il coming from Egypt.
The imported cotton is designed for
certain manufacturers for which it
better serves than the home product.
Now and then a voice from the
South used to be raised in Congress
that cotton has as much right to be
protected from the foreign competi,,
ton as wool from the fleeces OF
Australia and Argentina But the
cotton planters gave little or no
heed to the cry, quite content as
they were to supply the worlds
markets without begrudging the New
England manufacturers their com

II is enough for the Southern planters
that the supply more than three
fourths of the worlds production Of
cotton dispite all the efforts to ex-
tend it's culture in Egypt, India and

In speaking of the delayed season Mr.

HUMAN HANDS AND THE PRINT
ING PRESS.

The August American Magazine con-
tains an interesting editorial talk in
THE Interpreters House" on the news
paper In closing the talk the editor
says:
Il ask the reader to see in his mag
nation what a multitude of human
beings are busy with the printing press.
There are in the United States $4,000
or 10000 regularly issued publications.
in which tens and tens of thousands of
people write. from time to time, little
or much. One of our great metropOli-
tan dailies recently boosted that 1.5O0
people were more or less regular con-
tributors to its columns, counting its
great staff and its correspondents scat

pie write for that newspaper. therefore.
as read some OF our small country
weeklies. In other words. the printing
press is the least monepolized of any
invention. 1t is completely in the hands
of the people, It is one of the most
imposing democratic institutions in the
whole world-one of the most com
pleteIy democratic. That is its great
strength.
Now, what is the meaning of all
this? II simply means that through the
printing press YOU transfer to PAPER an
astonishing picture of all the varid
emotions and characteristics of all hui
man nature. Confine yourself for a
moment to the 1900 people who write
for that great daily referred to above.

and unattractive qualities foun1 among

unseemly smell of the market mingled
with the fragrance of the incense be-
fore the altar; and the bleating of
sheep the cooling of doves. the lowing
of the cattle, the clink of money, and
the loud alteration of the traders

Jesus acted on the impulse of the
moment with a zeal which, to his
disciples seemed untempered with
discretion 1t was case where
burning vehemence alone would have
been denied to prudence and calcu-

With a countenance terrible in the
majesty of a justifiable indignation,
he advanced on these usurpers of the
sacred courts, demanded the meaning
of their sacrilege, overturned the ia
bles of the money changers, drove the
cattle from their stalls. There was
something in his mien that forbade
resistance. The owners followed their
fleeing cattle; the brokers did not
even stop to gather up their scat-
tered money: the whole crowd of
traffickers fled before this single
Galilean. But his act was popular.
II was a protest against the traffic
usurpations of the few in favor of
the sacred rights of the many. The
common people welcomed the restora-
ton of their temple courts; even the
poorer portion of the Pharisaical
party rejoiced to see removed the
proclamation they abhOrred but dared
not interfere with. Nor was il UNI
til the scene was over and the courts
were cleared that the astonished trad
ers or their allies the priests, re-
gained sufficient courage to demand
of Jesus some evidence of his auth
ority.
