THE TRUTH ABOUT THE PRICE
OF COTTON AND THE SIZE OF
THE CROP

Our readers will remember tba,
Inc Caucasian has taken the position
all along that the low price of cot
! ton was not due to "over-production. u
as claimed by our Democratic friends
We have pointed out that every time
the Democratic party secured enough
power to threaten to disturb busi-
ness and to lower the tariff protec-
ton to American industries. that
prices began to fall, and that ALWAYS
the explanation was given by the
Democratic leaders that this was dine
to "over-production."
We have shown how false this
democratic cry was under the C1eve-
land administration. We also show
ed that there was no over-product;on
Vi last years crop. We pointed to
the fact that the demand for cotton
goods over the world had increased
more rapidly than the increased nro-
auction of cotton in the United States
and that even if fifteen or sixteen
million bale crop had been raised
that the price should not fall.
We pointed out that the true ex-
PLANTATION of the fall in price was the
action of the Democratic Congress in
threatening to disturb the tariff on
cotton. which had caused many mills
to shut down and stagnated business
generally. The position taken nv
Inc Caucasian was opposed and ridi-
,uled by all of the Democratic nrass
and politicians.
In support of the truth of our no.
'itlon, We call attention to a state
nent just issued by the Manchester
cotton Association of England which
says:

Senator Cullom, of Illinois, is the
Oldest member of the Senate in point
I of years and in point of service. He
has been one of the most popular men
in his State and has been Reelected
six times with practically no opposi-
ton.
To the surprise of Senator Cullom
and his friends he was overwhelm-
ingly beaten for denomination in the
primaries held in Illinois last week
When Senator Cullom received the
astonishing news, he is reported tn

vote against Lorimer. Afterwards
it was understood that a number of
his friends appealed to him not tn

own State, and it is said that the
Senator finally yielded, though much
against his judgment.

Early Adjournment of Congress.
1t is now the talk of statesmen of
both political parties on the hill that
Congress may close up its work early
in June. 1t is clear that the Demo
cratic leaders are anxious for an early
adjournment of Congress, because
they do not expect to pass any legis-
lation of Importance which they have
promised and the longer Congress
stays in session would simply empha-
size their failure to accomplish re-
suits.
Ihey have prepared and offered
many bills for campaign purposes
which they know could not pass, and
are now satisfied to adjourn and
make their campaign on the legisla-
ton proposed, including the seventy
five million dollar pension appropria-
ton. They could get the support of
the progressive Republicans and pass
any reasonable legislation, but thew
refuse to offer such measures.

ROOsEVELT'S FIGHT AGAINST
BOSS AND MACHINE RULE.

The great victories which Colonel
Roosevelt has won in Illinois and in
Pennsylvania are victories over the
bosses and political machines. In
those States practically no other Is
sues were discussed by Colonel Roo
sevelt. The rank and file of the peo-
pie in those States arose in their
might, as the people in North Caro-
lima did two years ago, to overthrow
a ring, which has in the past sup
pressed and throttled the will OF the
people. 1t has required in those
States, as it did in North Carolina,
an uprising of the people that
amounted to almost a revolution in
order TO win.
The ring has been smashed, and
those States can have their will ex-
pressed as easily as they now can
in North Carolina. In this State to-
day every voter can express his will
on any subject and have the same
honestly recorded in every conven-
ton, no matter whether he is with
the majority or with the minority,
and there is not single boss of Fed
eral office-holder who has it in his
power to @stifile public opinion as in
the past
1t is noticeable, however, that to-
day, in this State, every one of the
machine bosses, who were over
thrown and repudiated two years ago,
are now trying to pose as the truest
and most enthusiastic Roosevelt sup
porters. They are not doing this be- !
cause they stand for what Roosevelt
stands for in his fight against ma
chine and boss rule, but they are do |
ing it because they see that Colonel /
Roosevelt is very popular with the
masses, and they have seized this op-
portunity and this method to try to
reinstate the old referee machine
again in power in North Carolina.
Their desire to do this is to again
put their clutches on the throat of
the party and again suppress the will
of the people
In short, they are trying to use
Colonel Roosevelt's popularity to en-
able them to oppose and destroy the
very thing that Colonel Roosevelt is
lighting for. Therefore, it is of the
greatest Importance that the people
should see to it in every precinct that
only men are elected delegates this
year who were two years ago in the
fight in favor of over-throwing the {
patronage machine ring in this State.
Every true friend and supporter of
Colonel Roosevelt should uphold the
hands of our State organization and
The men who led the fight to liberate
he people two years ago.
In short, our first and greatest DUTY
s to finish at the next State Conyen-
ion the work of housekeeping and
reorganization begun two years ago.

UGH! HOW
CHILDREN HATE
CASTOR OIL.
TO CLEAN THE LITTLE ONES
STOMACH, LIVER AND WASTE
CLOGGED BOWELS GIVE GENTLE
"SYRUP OF FIGS"

Look, back at your childhood days
Remember the physlc that mother in
sisted on--castor oil, calomel, cathar-
tics. How you hated them, how you
fought against taking them,
With our children It's different. The
day of harsh physc is over, We don't
force the liver and 30 feet of bowels
now; we coax them, We have no
dreaded after effects, Mothers who
cling to the old form Of physic simply
don't realize what they do The chill
dren's revolt Is well-founded. Their
little stomachs and tender bowels are
injured by them.
If your child is fretful, peeWsh, half
sick, stomach sour, breath feverish and
It's little system full Of cold; has dlar-
rheea, sore throat, stomach-ache;
doesn't eat or rest well-remember-
look at the tongue, If coated, give a
teaspoonful of Syrup of Figs, then
don't worry, because you surely will
have well, smiling child in a few
hours.
Syrup of Figs, being composed en-
tirely Of luscious figs, SIENNA and aro-
MATES, simply cannot be harmful. 1t
cweetens the stomach, makes the liver
active and thoroughly cleanses the lit
tie ones waste-clogged bowels. In a
few hours all sour bile, undigested
fermenting food and constipated waste
matter gently moves on and out Of the
system without gripping or nausea.
Directions for children of all ages,
also for grown-ups, plainly printed on
the package.
BY all means get the genuine. Ask
your druggist for the full name "Syr-
up Of Figs and Elixir of Senna,' pre-
pared by the California Fig Syrup Co.
Accept nothing else
