bales will be grown no one knows and yet that cotton crop is being sold over and over every day, and some people say that it is legitimate busi. ness. As l tried to point out, once before, this condition now exists.
 The interest of the spinner and the dealer in futures is identical. Under present rules of the exchanges they operate together The spinner can say, T want a million bales of cotton" and the dealer in futures, the legitimate speculator as some of you gentlemen call him, says, 'If you will keep out of the cotton market and not buy a bale. l will break the market until you can have that cot. ton at whatever price you agree to pay me- and there is no power short of this government that can prevent them carrying that agreement out. Today, if it were not for the fear that this congress will abolish cotton exchanges. the cotton exchanges in New York and New Orleans could make cotton sell at $5 bale.
 MT. Lazaro-Has the gentleman giy- en any thought to the Liverpool ex- change and how we could remedy the situation over there?
 MT. Caraway-The Liverpool ex- change cannot affect the value of a single bale of cotton in the United States unless it has an exchange in the United States with which it can co operate. Gentlemen, it is the old. old question of right and wrong It is the question presented ever since governments began-Shall the strong plunder the weak? Shall those who toll not be rich while those who labor from sun to sun be poor? Our actions here will give the answer
 For myself I have already decided shall do all that lies within me to destroy these visious interests that gamble away the wealth of our farm CTS, that reward honest toll with poverty, and laugh when grim want sits at the fireside of those who have created the wealth of our land-the farmers of this country. Let us pass this resolution and destroy these plunderers of our land. (ApplauseJ

that there should first be most romantic love affair, with moonlight walks and whispered words or adora- ton and all the other pretty things found in the sentimental novel.
 ''Unfortunately or forunate1y-as you may view it-these accompani- nnents of American matchmaking are frequently totally absent from French courtshep- Indeed, in the middle and higher classes of French society there is often very little possibility of love making before marriage.
 Owing to the family regulations and the fact that there are few coeduca- tiona1 schools in the country. the French girl seldom makes with boys those confident. personal friendships so common in America
 'In the main the French mother prefers not to trust her daughter alone with a man; if there is to be any courtship. it is better that it be done where she can keep an observr ant eye on them. In spite of such rnaifest difficulties in the preliminaries the French girl probably desires mar riage more ardently than the Ameri- can girl confessedly desires it. There is so much supervision of the Fren ch lass in her home that her only re- lease seems to lie in marriage.
 Hence a remarkable docilitv in the matter of the choice of husband Some one has said that the French woman marries, not because of love, but with the hopes of love afterward
 Dowry is Demanded.
 'In the better class families dowry accompanying the wife will practically be demanded. What does she bring with her? is the not uncommon ques- ton of the young mars parents
 'Extremely prudential 1t all may seem; but one should rem enber that this dowry is not to be employed by the husband for his persona use, bu. as a trust fund for the maintenance of the expected children. If the wife dies childless the dowry will, in all proba bility. revert to her family; the theory of the affair is that such prop erty belongs not to the individual either husband or wife-but to the family as an institution.
