buy cheap cotton, but that they stand

at present prices the executive COM

The committee further says: The

fort now being made to depress and
send the price Of cotton to the bottom.
In spite Of the fact that cotton goods
have greatly advanced, cotton prices
have gone down $50 $25 per bale.
Today the staple. measured by the
price of manufae tured cotton goods. is
intrinsically worth more than 35 cents
per pound and even at that price it
is the cheapest commodity being sold
in the worlds market.

are fighting desperate battle against
great Odds We are armed with truth
and justice. and thus doubly armed.
Victory is certain Cotton based upon
the price of the manufactured product
is worth today from 81 to IS cents
per pound We have the greatest de-
mand ever recorded in the history of
the world for the manufactured pro-
duct Supply compared to demand is
the smallest ever recorded. Then.
why should the price of the raw ma
terial be beat down? Remember that
these manipulatorS can only ply their
trade for a short period unless you
surrender This is unthinkable. De-
feat means loss of millions. in fact
of billions. It means that the South
will return to the deplorable condi-
tons thatihave existed before the war.
Success which is certain. by the or
