Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1914-12-11

I have come to ask you to remedy
and correct these mistakes and ommis-
sions, even at this short session of a
congress which would certainly seem
to have done all the work that could
reasonably be expected Of 1t. The
time and the circumstances are ex-
traordinary, and so must our efforts
be also.
Fortunately, two great measures
finely conceived, the one to unlock
with proper safeguards, the sources
Of the national domain, the other to
encourage the use of the navigable
waters outside that domain for the
generation of power, have already
passed the house Of representatives
and are ready for immediate consid-
Grafton and action by the senate.
With the deepest earnestness I urge
their prompt passage. In them both
we turn our backs upon hesitation
and makeshift and formulate genu-
Inc policy Of use and conservation, In
the best sense Of those words. We
owe the one measure not only to the
people Of that great western country
for whose free and systematic devel-
opment, as it seems to me, our legis-
lation has done so little, but also to
the people Of the nation as a whole;
and we as clearly owe the other In
fulfllment Of our repeated promises
that the water power Of the country
should in fact as we'll as in name be
put at disposal Of great industries
which can make economical and
profitable use of it, the right Of the
public being adequately guarded the
while, and monopoly in the use pre-
vented. To have begun such meas
ures and not complete them would
indeed mar the record Of this con-
gress very seriously. I hope and con-
fidently believe that they will be COM
pleted.

Merchant Marine.

Many readers of The Enquirer viii
remember how twelve or fourteen
years ago, this paper argued. urged
and implored the establishment OF
United States merchant marine, how
we begged for it any old way, by
means Of subsidy. by government,
ownership. or other means. just sc
we had American ships to develop
and take care Of American trade, and
how the News and Courier, Colum-
bia State and certain other papers
sought to oppose our teachings by
means of ridicule and otherwise.
AS we remember, the old Charlotte
Chronicle, and to a less extent. the
Observer, were about the only papers
that sympathized with us and tried to
help along the same propaganda
About the only argument" that was
used against any Of us was that the
ship subsidy idea was "subyersive OF
Democratic principles" paternalistie
and the like, and it was freely insin
udleu lndl we were al iiSiiicu ~ Nv
publicanism.
Now, just suppose there had beer
really serious effort to develop ar
American merchant marine in those
days. Before now, our maratimt
trade would be fairly established ir
all parts of the earth. and so far a:
we would be concerned. the only thinG
about that great war in Europe tha
would worry us would be the horror

Although we desire 1t understood
that we have never had any doubt!

the matter, it is with some little sat

In his message to congress last Tues
day, Mr.. Wilson said:
To speak plainly, we have grossly
erred in the way in which we have
stunted and hindered the development
of our merchant marine. And now
when we need ships, we have no

By continuing the planting Of cot
ton under existing conditions. the
south is slowly and surely falling
back into the old condition Of financial
and commercial servitude. or course
cotton Is an absolutely necessary
crop, more indispensable today than 1t
has ever been, and the demand for 1t In
Europe right now is almost as great
as the demand for bread. Russia is
getting in some American cotton by
way Of Siberia and paying thirty-one
cents a pound for it. But we should
remember that there are other things
to be considered. The commercial ele-
ment Of America as whole under
stands the present opportunity per-
fectly. It knows the value Of the
American cotton crop in gold. and 1t
is going to get that value; but it is
not especially interested in having the
southern farmer reap all the profit. or
any large part Of the same. If it were
interested in this proposition, 1t would
act differently. But the game Is to
get the cotton out Of the hands Of the
producers at the lowest possible prices,
and then let the big profits go to the
investors. AS things are now, the ma
jority Of the producers have a poor
way Of helping themselves. and about
the only thing in sight is for them to
hold on to their cotton where they can,
and then try to make a living by the
production Of food crops. If the whole
south could and would cut out cotton
next year, 1t would win this game. and
each individual farmer Is going to
win in proportion to the extent that
he is able to substitute other crops for
cotton.

notes on hand, and beg leave to con.
gratulate you on your enterprise In Sc.
curing them, notwithstanding that we
know that this enterprise is character.
istic Of you. We submit, however, tina,
you can and will make better use o1
these notes by lending them to the
farmers, merchants and other mudsills
of productive industry, than we coule
make Of such few as we have at oul
special order by giving them away a.
Christmas presents. And along the
same line, we will remark that after
keeping the one you sent US few days
for the pleasure Of those who desire te
see it, we will again start it along 1t:
