Freezing weather in many sections of the cotton belt caused a big ad- vance in the New York and New Or leans markets when they reopened to- day after a three-day Easter vaca- tion. The advance during the day registered over $5 bale on some months. The close was at slight de- cline from the highest quotations. July New York closing at 37.70 cents, a net gain of 90 points, while the same month in New Orleans closed at 37.26 cents, up 76 points. New York spots were advanced 25 points to 42 cents, a new high record for that market. New Orleans spots were quoted at 41- 9 cents.

views in those days were called MAIN
eacs.''
On the thirty fifth ballot in the
Democratic convention the Virginia
delegation pumped q solid vote for
Franklin Pierce of New Hampshire,
whose name had not been mentioned
in the convention altho the New ork
Herald had suggested him as the pos
sible dark horse" That started the
ball. and Pierce was nominated on the
forty ninth ballot. Pierce had a good
record as politician, had served with
some distinction as q brigadier general
in the war with Mexico. and had the
negative strength of being compro-
mise man.
When Pierce was nominated the
Democrats did not yet know how
many mistakes General Scott would
make or how many letters he would
write. They only knew that the Wings
were certain 20 nominate him and that
he was a war hero. It was In the
frightened effort to get a hero to
match a hero that Houston was pro-
posed, and that Pierce was selected.
Yet how few Americans remember to-
day that Franklin Pierce had a war
record in Mexico?
The Pierce nomination was the first
in which the Unlocking galleries in a
national convention took part. When
Pierce's name was first voted for, a
New Hampshire delegate, wild with
excitement, invited the people in the
galleries to join in the cheering. They
accepted the invitation, despite the
precedent that had always obtained.
forbidding the galleries to cheer or
applaud. The result was the first con-
vention demonstration" 1t lasted
for eight minutes. Thus was begun
the unhappy custom which has made
bedlan and a mob of every national
convention since.
The campaign in 1852 was affected
to a considerable degree by two side
shows that were running-the prohi-
bition movement and the woman SUI
frage propaganda The suffragettes
held a great national convention
which was attended by women from
all over the northern states, most
of them attired in "bloomers." Eliza
beth Cady Stanton and Susan B.
Anthony were two prominent figures.
The prohibition movement did not en-
ter into national politics, but it was
d great factor in state and congress
sional contests.
When it was all over the country
breathed easier. The Democrats had
been restored to power by an over
whelmingly and non-sectional vote.
People hoped and believed that the
Compromise of 1850 would stand, and
that the agitation of the slavery Ques-
ton would die out. They were de-
Iuded, but their honest belief at the
time explained many things that seem
to be unreasonable in the light of later

PRICES AND WAGES.

A business concern whose dealings
extend turnout the country announces
/ that sharp reductions in prices on its
products have been ordered without a
decrease in the wages OF employees.
1t has been quite generally feared
that when the expected slump in
prices OF ordinary commoditieS took
place, wages might suffer reduction.
as we'll One of the influences tending
to make the public less vociferous for
lower costs has been the fear that any
general falling off of commodity val
ues would be equaled. at least, by seal
ing down of earnings in the vast field

True, it has not been thought that

Never before. however, has labor
been SO well organized as now. The
long wars results are many, one of
them being the strengthening of
unionized industry beyond any point
previously thought possible.
So union labor is now in a better
position to defend it's followers than
ever in the past. That it will fight
wage cutting is assured. That it at
the kame time opposes what it con-
siders unnecessary profit making is
equally clear.
But an organization, while it may
maintain established wage scales for
a time, cannot furnish employment to
its members. The ability of the unions
to incFease the wage scale beyond a
figure hitherto known has been based
on labor scarcity. If prices of labor's
products shall be forced down to a
point where production no longer is
profitable, either wages will fall or
production will stop. When produc-
ton ceases men are thrown out of en-
ployment. This process already is un-
der way in the east. Many labor
unions have large Accommodations of
money and can maintain their menu
bers out of work for time, but this
could not go on indefinitely. The
whole situation will work itself out in
time and workers will be willing to ac-
cept lower pay whenever the dollars
they receive will buy more than they
now do.

LIBERTY BONDS.

The trouble lies not with the liberty
bond but with the treatment accorded
It. says Modern Farming in replying to
subscriber who complained bitterly
because Modern Farming had urged
holders to keep their bonds and buy
more. The subscriber declared that
"a yelled threat of dire consequences
to all who would not buy" persuaded
him to become a bond holder and
when he desired to sell his $50 bond
he could get but SAG for it.
This same farmer subscriber" con-
tinues Modern Farming in its answer,
would not expect his agricultural
operations to do what he expects his
liberty bond to do. Suppose he in
vested $50 in seed corn, fertilizer and
labor, then. a short time later he need
ed some money. Would this farmer
expect to be able to sell his partly
grown crop Of corn for as much mun-
ey as he had put into 1t, labor includ-
ed?' No; he would realize that in or
der to come out even,- let alone make a
profit, he must carry the crop to ma
turity.
Maturity Pay particular atten-
ton to that word. Repeat it. Matur-
! ity. Maturity of the corn crop makes
possible the realization of a return OF
money invested, with a possible profit
If the season has been favorable.
Selling the liberty bond before its
maturity is comparable to selling the
corn crop when partially grown.
THE farmer who bought a liberty
bond should regard his actions as that
tof planting a crop Which should be
ready to harvest on the maturity date
indicated on the bond. 1t is not good
business judgment to expect to real
ize the maximum benefits from this
crop until it is ready to harvest. If il
becomes absolutely necessary to sell
this crop (bond) before the harvest
time, then he must regard himself as
being somewhat at the mercy of the
buyer, and must expect to make some
sacrifice.
The good business method. in case
money is required. is to use the liberty
bond as security for a loan at a bank
Then the accrued interest which our
subscriber refers to would still work
to the advantage of the original own
err, reducing the cost OF the money
from the bank, and enable him TO hold
on for the final benefits at harvest
time.
1T is easy to sit back and talk about
the possibility of changing supposed
| iniquities,' but unless such talk 1:
backed up by constructive suggestions
for its accomplishment. it is but de.
structive criticism.
I'VE are glad to repeat our former
advice-liberty bonds are the safest
investment man can make today: tht
present owner of a liberty bond cannot
afford to part with 1t until its 7natur.
ity. at which time he will have re
eeived interest in full for the use OF
his money, and will have his principa
returned intact"
