AIKEN WRITES WICKERSHAM.
Asks II "IScars' Should Not T}c Pros
ccuted-AttOrncy General Replies.

Abbeville, S. c., Oct. 81. 19l1.-
General, Washington, d. C-Dear
Sir: | notice that the case against
tho Wall street bulls" charging
them with cornering cotton, IS still
in the courts, and assume that you
will push the prosecution to a conclu-
Sior.
While | do not concur in the opin-
ior that 1T was the proper function
Of the government to Interfere with
the enhanced value Of IL commDdity
that meant so much for the wealth
Of this country, | assume that you
can justify the prosecution legally.
If, then, the government had
legal right to proceed against COM
bination Of spectators whose pur-
pose was to force up the price Of cot
ton, 1t follows that it has the same
legal right to proceed against a COM
bination whose purpose is to force
down the price of the same commod-
ity.
OF the American cotton crop, ap-
proXimately One-half is sold in for
eign markets. A decline Of two cents
per pound means the loss to this
country Of $60,00O,000, and to the
". IL
is certain that bear" pressure on
Wall street has forced a decline Of
fully three cents per pound in the
present market, thereby robbing the
South Of approximately $l05,0O0,-
900, and giving 1t to foreign spin
nelS. This decline has been brought
about by the bear element oversell-
ing the market, publishing false or
misleading statements. and combin-
ing to keep buyers out OF the mar
ket. With no extensive knowledge
Of exchange methods, | think it is
safe to say that If combination
may advance the market. a combine
ton may likewise deprcss it, and the
fact is, it is now being done
Then should not the government
intcrpuse? If it was right in the for
mer instance. 1t is right in this: and
when the wealth Of the nation is
threatened and the competency Of
Southern homes is being absorbed
by foreigners, should not the gov
ernmcnt at least place the weight Of
its influence and power with its own
citizens? An investigation OF bear"
tactics would probably reveal ample
ground for criminal action against
the leaders, and prosecution would
probably dissolve the unfair cOmbi-
nation and allow cotton to resume it's
normal price. At any rate. it seems
incumbent Oh the government, in the
premises. to throw the weight Of its
power with the people.
This letter is not written in any
carping spirit, but in the hope that
you may see the other side the
question, as the cotton producer sees
it. and use the arm Of the law, as far
as possible, for their relief.
| would be glad to have an ex-
preston OF opinion from you. as to
whether such a prosecution would, in
your Judgment, be entertained by the
courts. and If it would, what likeli-

begun, toward the lowering OF prices
would be apt to gain Roadway be-
cause other people, having cotton on
margin, would be fearful Of greater
loss If they waited until the price
went lower, and so would rush into
the market determined to got rid of
their product at a given time.
How a bear pool" would operate,
| confess ! do not quite understand,
nor do | know Of the existence OF any
such pool. BY pool | mean a group
Of men who. for the purpose Of con
trolling the price of a commodity, In
their own interest, buy a sufficiently
large amount Of the property to en-
able them to control the price in the
market. write. giving you just my
impressions Of the subject, because
you may have fuller knowledge than
|. and l should be very glad to have
you give me any detailed information
available to you going to show the
existence and operation Of any COM
bination formed for the purpose of
depressing the price of cotton.
In the proceeding against those
engaged In the sO-called "bull cotton
pool" which the government brought
year or so ago, the United States
Circuit Court in New York held that
'cOrners' were Illegal and immoral,
but that combination formed to
corner and enhance the price Of cot
ton did not operate in restraint Of
interstate commerce, even though, as
we'll alleged in the indictment, the
necessary effect, as well az the in-
tended purpose, Of the combination
was to increase the price which the
spinners had to pay, and, as a mat
ter Of fact, by SO increasing the price
a large percentage Of the spinners
had refrained from manufacture and
had thereby been restrained in com
merce among the several States.
An appeal from the judgment of
the court, sustaining a demurrer to
the essential counts of the indict-
mcnt, has been argued in the Su-
preme Court Of the United States,
and is now under consideration. IL
the court shall decide the essential
question involved and not let the
case go off on technical matter Of
pleading, wo may have some light
which will be Of aid in the enforce
ment Of the law against other COM
binatiOns Of like character. But,
aside from that, the greatest difficult
ty that | should have in dealing with
the case you mention, is what have
outlined above.
Very respectfully,
Geo. w. Wickersham,
Attorney General.

make the effort and lend your assist

full? Certainly there is nothing to
be gained by holding out against the
plan, and it is equally as certain that
there is nothing to lose by making
this effort in behalf OF fair prices for
your crop. The cotton farmer has all
to gain and nothing to lose in this

Stand together. That spells sue

There has never been a time when
the cotton growers stood so solidly

for the year 1912. are ready and

be found at the Court House. in the
Office Of the Clerk OF Court, and those
to whom the Court House is most
convenient can sign there. There
no farmer need feel that he is to be
inConvcnicnced in the matter OF plac-
ing his signature to one. When you
come to Walhalla or any Of the other

somewhere. The Courier has a
pledge blank; you can sign here if
You wish. 1t makes no difference
where YOU ign the pledge; the thing
is to sign it. and when you have
signed it, stand by it.
