Let us tote fair with the fljrnrea.
Bishop leaner aaya in the Nashville
Christian Advocate that "the iai;rtan
tile world in the couth is now con
trolled by the wholesale g-cmblinsr and
massive f rands cf cotton futures ;
that the centers of New Y'ork, Liver
pool and New Orleans have yielded to
this colossal scheme of hazzard until
. the production of the staple has no
effect upon its market value."
He says that ''during- the past three
months (here bave been sold in New
York and elsewhere 53,000,O00 bales of
cotton. This would be 221,000,000 bales
for the year's crop. Ail of this, he
says, "is purely imaginary value ex
cept the 8.000,000 bales that were
raised, and this ideal ctton that was
nt made would yield 7.810,000,000,
and this is the iiffuring1 against which
the planter has to make headway. All
the fraiublinf tlens in this country and
in the liaden-Radens of Europe nre
child's play compared with this hujre
monster that envelopes in its coils the
fortunesacdeven th; lives of myria.is."
(Janybfaig- in futures 'is a s!n. I.-t-tin-
on anything is a tin, for it is a
mode of jrcttin tjnit thing-for not.liin'.
It is demoralizing- i:i the extreme, and
rcKults i-ruin to Ihou.sands of those
who cngn,e i:i it, but 1 cannot mjc
how dealing- in futures aixects the
price of cotton, for in its analysis it is
betting whether it will jjo up or down.
There are no DG,0uD,000 bales boug-ht
or sold, neither veal nor L'oal. The
speculator says to the bucket shop,
"I'll bet you that cotton will g-o up
within thirty days, and I will put up a
margin onx 2."0 bales." "All right,'
6ays the bucket shop, "put up S500
and I'll take the bet.' Cotton drops
instead of rising and the So 00 goes up
the spout and the s)eeulator is a sad
der but not a wiser man. Another
speculator bet the other way, perhaps,
and won, and cf cutrsc ho tries it
again.- The shop win bet either wav,
and like the dealer In a faro bank, al
ways coines out ahead in theril. The
shop I.a-i no i;itoie.-t l-o l;iiior bear the
cotton. The shop "knows its consumers
and the average of ail the bets andcaa
hedge to suit.

I cannot see where the ibucket 6hops
come iu or how they can. influence th
price. Millionaires like the Inmans
put large rnohe3-s in cotton every year
and make money, for it is their busi
nes. and they understand it, but they
run no bucket ah ops, nor do they make
colonial fortunes by speculation. They
back tlieir judgment with their money
and are able to hold- their purchases
until there is a profit. I remember a
Charleston coffee merchant- by the
name of Samuel Farrar who made in ;
thirty years a million dollars by deal-
ivg in coilee. lie had a large map in
his private oiilee, and it was checked
oir in years and months ami days, and
the price of coS'ee for every Aay wa4 (
marked, ami a green line marked th5
ups and downs, the rise and fall, and
it we a very crocked line. Then
there was a straight red line that split
the diilerenee and showed the averatre
price for the year. Brazil, was tlx
market where he bought. If the crop
was short he made allowances for it,
and raised the red line according to his
lCfct judgment and his most reliable
information. ,'1. buy.'" said he, "yhen
the price is below that line. I tsell
when it 13 above." Just so it la with
shrewd uifu everywhere.
I believe there is too much odium
heaped upon rich men too much ma
lignant abuse of monoT- kings and mil
lionaires. I reckon e would all get
rich if we could even the preachers.
It grieves me to hear some of these
politicians trying to array the poor
agninst the rich, and to stir up strife
and bitterness among the people. It
did not uhc to be that way. Men who
prospered were respected m my young
days respected by everybody. Riches
were not considered a sin. The scrip
tures f-poak approvingly of Abraham
and Job and Solomon, and tell us of
their gv;at wealth, ami Low the Lord
blessed them.. I believe that there are
go.vl men now who are rich, and they
do good with iheir money. If they did
not 1 don't know what would become
of the poor and the suffering when
pestilence or famine ox storms afflict
tkoru.
Lut there seems to be a feeling of
unrest a nd bitterness among certain
j-lasses all over the country. .Some
body is making the workvug peoxle be
lieve that they are imposed upon Jry
the rich and by the government I see
in a Rome paper that they have organ.
ize3 in Chnlis district. In i'loyd connty,
"a bread brigade," and have 400 mem
bers and they hare signs and grips
and passwords, and have sworn that
they "will "have 10 cents a pound for
their cotton, debt or no debt,' and they
will hold it at the muzzle of a Win
chester." Surely that can't be so. Is
it possible that the spirit of .anarchy
and communism is taking hold of our
people? Bread brigade! Why, there
is not a farmer in Floyd county who
Is suffering for bread. There is none
in this county. Corn is abundant
everywhere. It used to roll in hers
from the west by the carload, but-it:
don't come now. There are hundreds
of farmers in Bartow who will have
corn and fodder and meat to sell. Our
farmers are better off today than any
other class in the community. They
come and go when they please. They
have health and strength and good
water and are never visited by storms
or pestilence, such as have come upon ,
. the coast. They have cattle and hogs
and chickens and eggs and "garden
&as6" and the schoolhouse and the
church are not far away what a pity
they cannot for a little while look in
upon the poor of Europe and havo
their' hearts touched with gratitude
that they live in this blessed land.
Labor is too hard upon capital too
threatening too xai-ting. Thej
may seem strange words for me to ufcc,
but thej- are true. I am as hostile to
monopolies and trusts and combines
as anybody, but when 1 read of these
great strikes in a time like this, it
shocks my sympathy. Whnt are these
organizations anyhow, but monopo
lies. The watchword of most of them
ia ? if yoa don't -pay o much, we will
quit and when we quit nobodv else
bha.ll take our places. That did not H
use to be the lew a:;d Low it comes
to bj tire law now I cannot under
stand; But we are gratified to Fee such kind
relations between Mr. Thomas and
his employees on our road from Atlanta
and Nashville. That is all right and
we hope it will continue. The .mys
tery is how a railroad can pay Its men
at all while our tinHTcial system
paralyzed. There is hardly enough
freight business now to pay for the
axle grease. One day last wct;k there
were only seven loaded cats going
north over this great ir;ad, so I was
told. Below Atlanta, there is nothing
to load and yet the, lease of the West
ern and Atlantic o ,ts 5.-12:.' a day. Bail- -roads
and factories have their troubles,
and but few mrke a fair rate of interest
on their cost. The wond-r is that any
sane man, will invest in them where
Ftrik , cr.i-.l viule-ace rrrv-l'.
Now, I do not wish to he misunder
stood. I have respectTbr all tlvese or
ganizations where they respect the
righh; of other people, but when tho.se
employed on one road say to their em
ployers you shall not curry any freight
that comes over another road where
there is a strike, their demand shocks
the judgment and the common senseof.
mankind. When the strikers assault
and intimidate others who would gla i
ly work, or when they allow violence to
be done and the 'track torn up and the
locomotives disabled it is .simply an
outrage on the law cf ' the land, and if
persisted in, will suredy brisg this gov
ernment into a monarchy likjthose of
Europe, where it takes a standingarmy
of half a million soldiers to protect the
citizens and their property. The very
class who are now importunate for the.
government ownership of railroads
6hould remember that strikes arc not
tolerated among jjovornment employes,
neither in the arinv or naval or public
works or thp railway mail service.
Ktrikers do not dare now to slop the
licomotive and the car that carries the
United States mail.
Well, of course, these brotherhoods
have an answer to all this, and I have
read it all. Papers and periodicals
come to me weekly that breathe out
enmity to capital and are tainted with
communistic principles and in my opin
ion these publications are doinir a
world of harm. They are educating
the working people to the idea that
there should be a division a division.
In the awful days oi the French revo
lution three communists went into the
Bank of Rothschilds and cried ''liberty,
equality, fraternity we have come for
our monej" Tin . Jew said ' all right;"
I have G ),0O0.00a francs in the bauk.
There are C),(VO,')(:0 jMpe in France;
here arc yours."' and he threw throe
francs upon the counter. "Now go tell
the rest to come get their's, said he.
But we have not come to that, and
I hope we never will, "it becomes all
our considerate people, whether poor
or rich, whother employers or em
ployed, to be reasonable and tolerant,
and to rr spvet the rights of others
and teach others so to do.

larger even tban in Ireland, a country
which is popularly but mistakenly sup
posed to be the Utopia of the pig. Tho
country of the sheep, par excellence,
Is Australia. On that continent thcra
are a few more than 3.000,000 people,
but there are 63,000,000 sheep; that is
to say, .twenty sheep to every man,
woman and child. In the United States
wo have only about 47,000,000 sheep,
which, though a larger sheep popula
tion than that of any other country
except Australia and Jthe Argentine
Republic, is not proportionately so
great a number as several other coun
tries possess. British India has moro
cattle than any other country, but the
United States has nearly as many
upwards of 52,000,000. However, the
Argentine-Republic again lead:, in the
number of cattle in proportion to hu
man being. If the cattle in Argen
tina were divided equally among alf the
people, every man. woman and child
would have five cattle to take care of,
and there would le enough left to give

from t ler point of view of farm ani

ably the moot important countiy in
the world.

one year amounting to ?r-'0:J.
The entire,, expenditure in food,

one year amounted to 5 1, 007.50.
The grand seigiieur's Uible. served for

a steward, a cook, a butler, a kitchen

WASHINGTON EE rTEE.
From our resalar corresiwiKient. j
It seems difficult for the remibliean ;
to understand that the demoeraN in
Congress intend to redeem the promises
made in the Chicago platform. TI.pv
actually seemed to think that it was
possible to cajole the democrats into let

nd in the columns Qf every democratic
newspaper in the land during the last
campaign, remain our the statute books,
foe awhile anyway. And their mUafce
m th tariff buiness, xvbith is now very
plain to them, taught them nothing.
They are now.engiigwl in the useless
business of trying to frighten the dem
ocrats out of the notion of repealing the
Federal election laws, laws which made
the notorious John I. Darenport a pos
sibility and which in the bauds of an
unscrupulous administration have in
the p..st (and may in the future, if al
lowed to stand). st urounded the voting
places of American citizens with buj o

The Tucker bill for the. repeal of all law
providing Sor Federal supervisor oi el-
hTelious has been reported to the House
and will bu given the right of way un
til passed, fiio.v long it will -take to
pass it depends largely uMn circum

willing that it ihali be fnlly debated,
iind no attempt -vvlll be made to force a

exhausted, but ii. ll!libkist ring will be

Everything indic ites that the debate
on the Vorhees rejieiil bill ii drawing
near its end in the Sojate and that the
long congest of personal endurance by
means of a continuous session of the
Senate with a quorum always present
or witlnn call will soon begin; Another
