Bears in Cotton Market anr by Sc

Cotton Futures Change.
Washington, May Ex-senator Dial
charged in the senate today that con-
grcss unintentionally is in favor of the
bears on the cotton market ad that q
condition Of slavery is yet being per-
pctrated in the south. "The war" he
said, freed the colored people, but
soon thereafter the whole south be-
came enslayed ,by the custom and then
the law Of selling cotton, and it seems
that am not making much progress
in getting these shackles removed"
The senator was urging the adoption of
his amendment to the cotton futures
act.
Senator Dial said his amendment had
been pending before an agricultural
! Subcommittee more than twelve
months and that he was not asking for
sympathy but for Justice. He quoted
figures from the national agricultural
congress to show that after the cost
of raising crop of cotton there is n
balance of $tS2,50 representing labor
for the entire year for the average ten
ant, his wife and two children This
is 81 cents per day for three hundred
days or for go days it is ten cents
each for the tenants family of four.
He continued, Eve speak Of the pau
per laborcr of Asia. We have living
example of ii right here and the con-
grcss Of the United States is rcspon-
!sibic to great extent for this condi-
tion of poverty and iliteracy. While
we are here trying to provide means Of

country yet we are not getting proper
