Backing to extent of $50,000,000 is promised by the banks of New Orleans, and 200,000 cot ton growers are said to be interested in the movement. On the face the plan seems not only tenable, but ben-a ficial, to the growers ; by men who look into the future it will be regard ed at first with suspicion and later with distinct disapproval. In another form, the scheme is only an imitation of the Brazilian government's plan for maintaining the price of coffee in the fao3 of overproduction, and the failure of this move is still fresh in the mind of the financial world. Baltimore American Star Some of the more sensible of the Republican newspapers of the coun try are already scenting danger in the future. The Indianapolis Star is moved to observe that "there is an unfulfilled pledge on s two subjects that must be redeemed. One of these is currency reform and the other is tariff reform. Bills will undoubtedly be offered and measures enacted in these fields; and the effect upon the people will depend upon the wisdom and fidelity with which the reforms are brought to pass. - There - is no danger of inaction; the danger is of hypocrisy and sham. Already a pro ject is being hatched to forestall gen nine tariff reform by the Sixty-first Congress next spring through the de vice of a bogus tariff reform law. It is an enterprise fraught, with danger to the Republican party. Charlotte Chronicle. Mr. N. B.
