Poor Greece really seems to be
really "betwixt the devil and the
deep blue sea-" Her queen is a
sister to the German Kaiser, butthe
Allies have the drop on the country,
and while not actually forcing King
Constantine to declare war on Ger
man, the Grecian navy has been
confscated, by the entente allies
and the government taken in hand
sufficiently to see that the allies are
not betrayed to Germany. The la
test from King Constantine is a
statement that he will surrender his
throne before he will plunge his
people into war. The fact Of the
business seems to be that the King
Of Greece has a sneaking notion that
Germany can not be- conquered,

Good Prices and
Prosperous Times,

Republica ms have always insisted
that a republican administration in.
sured good prices and prosperous
times. In 1898 the republicans had
complete control of affairs, and cot
ton sold on the streets Of Hunting
don as low as $3.50 to $500 per
hundred pounds in the seed, the av-
erage price for lint that fall in New
York being only 6 per pound. There
was no war, no internal disturbances
and nothing abnormal to force the
prices down. The total number of
bales grown that year was only II,
199,694. Compare with that the
present conditions. We have an es-
timated crop Of 100000 bales,
which is considerably larger than
the 1893 crop. The price being
paid in New York is II cents per
pounds instead of 6 cents paid then
for lint. The present high prices
are maintained in spite of the fact
that the shipping Of cotton to the
foreign markets is badly handicap
ped. Then Wall street controlled
the finances and shaped financial
panics at its pleasure. The demo-
cratic administration has taken from
Wall street that power and has rem
dered impossible, panics at the will
of Wall street or other big money
interests. This has given confidence
to legitimate business and brought
high prices.
The breaking Of Wall streets des-
potic hold upon the nation, destroy
ing its political influence, h a $
brought to the commercial work a
sorely needed relief, and has given
