The condition of the cotton market is particu
larly rlinous The crops made with high priced
labor will not, at present prices bring the cost Of
production.
Six weeks ago the Democratic speakers were
appealing for the vote of the farmers by calling
attention to the high prices of farm products and
claiming that these prices were the result of the cf
forts of the Democratic admins tration at Washing
ton. Look at the price Of cotton now, they said,
"and remember what you were getting under a Re-
publican administration, eight years ago"
But in the past few weeks there has been an
awful drop in TIE price of cotton We still have tho
Democratic administration at Washington. The
Republican congress has not been in session since
June so it cannot be blamed for what ha1 happened
to the cotton market. If the Wilson adminstraio ion
was pon.blc for thrtycent cotton six weeks ago,
1t must be responsible for seventeen, cent cotton
now. The change in the cotton market ha, stopped
the Democratic speakers boastng and started them
to explaining.

association on Oct. IL, adopted Il resolution de-

caring that 81 cents pound was II fair price for
cotton, when it selling at 81 cents; that his
wcll-known unfri"ndly attitude toward agricultural
interests while he was secretary of agriculture,
caused the farmers of the country to object siren
uously to his appointment ns secretary of the treas
ury, but thc:c objections were diSr"gaitlrd by
rrsidcnt Wilson; that since his appointment
head of the treasury department he has continued
his unfricndly attitude toward agriculture by
iiSuinE statements and propaganda to reduce the
price of farm products and has continued this
propaganda prrsSt"nly and effectively that the
price of cotton and other agricultural product had

There you have the real reason. not from
