the subject of the proposed tax on
contracts for future delivery, saving,
if it was paid, it would come out OF
the cotton grower, as every expense,
from gin house to the factory, was
deducted from the price paid the
planter. The way to do, he said, was
to give cotton stable price like the
coffee growers of Brazil get, tAen
there would be no bulls and bears,
and the exchanges would serve their
legitimate purpose as the coffee ex-
changes were now doing all over the
world. If you get a doctor, he said,
who can't diagnose the case, he is apt
to give you the wrong medicine and
kill you.

being great tax dodgers; sad the SEN
ate was not serving the people. He
declared anew his g =, d<lil for Gov
ernor Blease, but said he did not ask

his own merits. He denounced the
attempt which he said is being made
to bring about break between him
and the governor; ridiculed any
peace and unity candidates, and,

fighter

to make it penalty of one year i'm
