nearly all the German countrymen who do not possess their own farms have migrated to the towns.
 Russia's newspapers laugh at Ger many's embarras ssment. They admit that the prohibition to work fin Ger many is intended as blow to a rival. It Is way of punishing Germany for her bounty-fed competition with Rus sia. By making use of cheap Russian labor Germany Is able to reduce the cost of her production of rye. Of this rye she exports part to Russia. She Is able to do this owing to the Import certificate system under which the German exporter gets a bounty in the shape of permission to import free of duty an equivalent quantity of goods Thus. though Germany is 8 rye-fm- porting country and does not produce nearly enough grain to feed her pop ulation, some Germans find 1t profit able to sell rye to Russia. This has exasperated the Russian farmers. Why" they ask, should we not keep our cheap labor at home, and at the same time deal a blow at Germany? If she Is left without labor her produce ton of food will fall of badly and to save herself from starvation she will be forced to buy more heavily from us. and to pay us higher prices.

der Professor Adolf Wagner admits that the withdrawal of all foreign labor would disorganize the whole economic ma chine.
 Once every few years Germany gets a foretaste of her dangerous position When the Russo-Japanese war broke out. a small fraction of the Russo-Polish la- bor supply dried up. and the result was a crisis in eastern Prussia. The Balkan crisis of 190S-9 diminished the supply of both Russian and Austrian labor. and again there was crisis. Even the ten sion last year ovor Scutafi made trouble Land owners complained that labor was scarce. During the far eastern war the fall off in tlt, labor supply was only 25.- 900, If that was enough to cause trou- ble what, ask alarmists, will happen to German food production If the whole sup ply of 100000 men is suddenly cut off ? This, however, is what will happen if the Russian project is carried through. Vast areas will be ndenuded of labor, and the agriculture on the large estates which depend most from foreisn heip will come to standstill. These large the most important for the feeding of the people
 Germany, even without the Russian threat, Is badly off for labor. Tho pres ent Prussian minister of agriculture, Herr von Schorlemer-Lieser, has made vain efforts to grapple with the prob lem.

When it furst started it give evvery indicasion that it was going to live up to the gennerel reputasion of wars of the past in which peepul weer sloughtured in approved style and according to the Constitusion, but now all they air doing is sloughturing the English langwage. Americans and Mexi- cons air not engaged in feerse hand-to hand conflict endevorring to shoot each uther on the feeld of battle, or an empty stummack, but on the contrary they air exchanging tobacker, and uther sivillities, and one thing and anuther. The Mexicons air politely showing us the advantage of cock fitting, and muscale in tropical clim it, and we air civvilizing theese poor boobs by lerning them sevven up and draw pokur.
 We air paying them all kinds of fansy prises for perfectly useless Mexicon relicks and for rottun entertainmint, and getting it all back by our superior ability in the art of acquiring fore Aces when they air badly needed. The average Mexicon is a meer infant at pokur; the advantages of theese peepul have certainly been limited; 1t is only when we get into forrain coun- try that we cum fase to fase with the real ization of our duty in kicking in the dough for forrain missionaries. If Washington and the Medyaturs will give General Fun stun army little moor time it will own Verry Crooze; then aftur we get that we will move up to Tampeeco and play the Constitusionallists sevven up for the Oil Feelds.

will hopelessly disorganize t1ernan agriculture, ands may even cause widespread ruin. M. Krivoschein. chief of the St. Petersburg department of ag- riculture, is drafting a bill which will prevent Russian subjects periodically mi- grating to Germany as hired men. This Russian hunger maheuver," as 1t is called, has created minor panic in all Germany's eastern provinces. The land owners declare that if the migration Is stopped their fields will go untitled and the urban population will have nothing to eat
 The whole mechanism of German farm- ing depends upon the work of nearly half a million Russians (mostly Poles and Lithuanians) who come to Germany every year. It is estimated that In three Prus- sian provinces three-fourthes of the field labor is done by them. German field labor is non-existent. Hence Germany's most important industry is entirely at ths mercy of not very friendly state which can withdraw its help any day in time or peace, and would certainly withdraw 1t, with disastrous results, the moment war broke out.
 Germany is today an even greater im= migration country than even the United statesl with the difference that the im- migrants to Germany come for tempe- rary work and always go home after the end of the season, or after the end of q term of years.

Titles for Sale

From the London Chronicle.
 Dom Pedro IT,, who lost the throne of Brazil in 1889, was the last monarch to offer titles for sale. In order to ob- tain funds or the erection of hospital in Rio Janeiro the Emperor announced that he would confer the title of baron on every subscriber of lo0.0oo milreis, and the title of count on every subscriber Of 250,000 milrels. Many proved willing to become ennobled on these terms, and sufficient money was forthcoming to en- dow the hospital as well as build it. Over the main entrance may still be seen the inscription suggested by Dom Pedro. tlu- man Vanity to Human Misery"
 Although French titles of nobility were abolished at the time of the revolution by decree revised in 1871. yet the mln- istry of justice issues certainfcates of nobility. Members of the French diplo- matic service who use titles have to obs tain one of these certaificates, and pay stiffly for the transaction. The fees in the case of duke amount to E7O0 a marquis pays e400. viscount ES0. . baron f60 and a chevalier e52, The certifi- cate sets out that the pedigree of tho holder having been investigated, his claim to the title he bears has been fully estab- lished, and the seal of the republic is affixed to this patent

DIXIE COTTON MEN
Cotton Factors Urge Government to
Loan Direct to Planter $40 a Bale
on SOuth's CrOp-COmmittee to At
tend Special Meeting of Southern
Cotton Congress.
Cotton Congress.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 12.-Sena-
tor Hoge Smith and Representative
Lever, of South Carolina, after a con-
ference with Secretary Houston today
and other officials of the department
of agriculture determined to draw up
a bill to provide for federal licensir Q
of cotton warehouses in the South.
Such licenses, they said, would give ad-
ditional value to cotton warehouse re-
ceipts, which it is proposed to accept
as security for emergency currency.
The house agriculture committee
continued it's consideration of means
to aid the South in marketing cotton,
hearing several cotton men on the
subject of making the cotton crop a
basis for credit. w. E. Love of Mem
phis, Tenn, told the committee that
! making 1t easy for the banks to Sc
I cure money to loan on cotton would
not entirely relieve the situation. He
proposed that the government itself
loan direct to holders of cotton at the
rate of $40 bale, which he said was
about the cost of producing the crop.
Other prominent cotton handlers pres
ent agreed with Mr.. Loves proposition
and offered to aid the committee in
working out satisfactory arrange
ment as to Standardization OF grade.
! etc. The committee tomorrow will
attend special session here of the
osuthern Cotton Congress to consider
the situation.

LOCAL Dealers
NOW PURCHASING
GOOD MIDDLINGS
some DEMAND FOR COTTON
Receipts Light at AmGrICus
Warehouses

Americus cotton buyers were in the
market yesterday for best grades of
cotton, and good middling grades were
quoted at 8 rs to 10 cents here. In
view of unsettled conditions abroad.
this is not low price for cotton, and
it is believed that considerable guam
tity of the bales of first picking will
be sold at current prices, at or near
ten cents, and the financial stringency
prevailing will be relieved to that ex-
tent.
Many here are growing optimistic
regarding values for the crop in toto,
and insist that the demand for cotton
later in the season will put it up to
something like its true value.
They urge that it would be impra :
teal to hold the entire crop in ex-
pectation of IL IL to 13 cents, and
suggest the idea of selling a small
portion of it early in the season, to
the end of relieving present necessi-
ties, and then holding the main por-
ton of the crop for possibly better
values. In the meantime, banks ana
supply dealers will be relieved, and
ready money secured for the planter.
A prominent Americus supply mer-
chant who supplies scores of farmers
here, said yesterday that he would al
low ten cents for good middling cot
ton paid on account, and allow $5 per
bale cash to the producer. He did
not know that this was a safe PROPOSE
tion for himself, but is willing to do II
to the end of relieving the present
market stringency.
