The New York bankers are boasting that they have plenty of money to take care of the Southern cotton crop, withqut being required to call on the aid of foreign capital. There is no, doubt about the fact that they have the money and there is no doubt about the further fact that they have planned to make big profits on it by requiring stiff rates for its loan to the Southern banks. It is probable that th- -will tint fin1 this en. h nn pr I proposition, for the Southern bankers have some money of their own. in ad- dition to resources outside of New York. In the course of an article on the attitude of the New York bankers, The Journal of Commerce says that "according to Information received ! to allow themselves to be squeezed by the cotton crop. Thev have, it is un- derstood. already enlisted the support of French capitalists- and under these circumstances the Sbithern banks ! will not be under the complete" dom ination of New York financiers.' Pri- vate advices reeclved here by cotton men state that the local bankers do not propose to stand for being squeez ed by the Eastern institutions. Should the New York banks -demand high rates of interest funds will 'probably be forthcoming from other sources." The Southern bankers will be, no doubt, able to . command the situa tion. . . i Colonel Bryan is still chafing under the appropriation of his policies by Colonel Roosevelt. The "New Na- tionalism" advocated by Roosevelt, was Incorporated in the Democratic Platform in 1900, "quite In contrast."
