OF all subsequent deals in the under
grades, by exportersb etc. until the
stuff is finally turned into goods.
BY this system OF grading and
strengthened by the Conner rider
the twelve or more millions OF bales
OF an average cotton crop are re-
duced to a few million tenderable
staple which as the year progresses,
dwindle to a point where monthly
cotton corners are possible and the
"spinners' contract" becomes harm
ful to all save the spiners themselves
as represented by Senator Conner and
his kind. Defeat OF the measure
therefore is imperative in the interest
OF the vast majority OF the South's
population interested in our great
staple crop.

the tenderable limie was placed too
high Il would throw back upon the
planters hands much cotton that. In
spite OF minor defects OF color or
condition. might be perfectly sound
and spinnable.
II is but natural that the precise
line OF demarcation between tender
able and non-tenderable cotton
should have becnthe cause OF many
Homeric struggles. In early days the
planter had the advantage but the
Lever bill placed the tender point at
low middling cotton with other defi-
nltions as to admissible stains, etc,
which formed what the trade recog-
nized TO be a contract favorable to
the mills.
One OF the first effects OF the
change was OF course 10 limit the
total volume OF tenderable cotton
and thereby to render market ma
nipulation easier. However, in view
OF its other desirable features, the
Lever bill was accepted and has OPP
Grated satisfactorily

You have appalled, the thinking

mask of pretended legality and spare
the life of this proven patriot. The
slayers of Joan of Arc had excuses
such as yours, and so, too. did the
