Cotton Mills Dare Not Buy Much Cot ton and IManufacture Much Cotton Goods in the Face of the Demo cratic Threat of Free Trade. Boston Commercial Bulletin. The textile end of the manufactur ing business of this country at the present time is far from satisfactory. Early in the year mills throughout the country began to curtail their production and have gradually furth er curtailed their output until now there are but very few mills that are running at full capacity. In nearly every issue of the daily papers are seen notices of cotton and woolen mills closing down some for a few days, some for a week or two and others for an indefinite period; manufacturers say this closing is due to lack of business. Can it be that the people of to-day are wearing less clothing than formerly? Even if this is to so, the population of the coun try is rapidly growing and it seems that the demands of the people, as a whele, must be great enough to offset the loss in individual demand. Is this the real cause or is It be- partments for campaign material, are , Mft d Tfae DemocraUc party ia also here and busy on their reports , backed y lnterestg and in trying to find something which Republlcan party by tne prohibi they have not found to report upon, j Mon people Some Important Reports. j jt wm De remembered at the last Some of the most Important re- j election that Maine was carried by In view of the' fact that the Demo crats have so misgoverned Robeson County, the Clinton News-Dispatch thinks that some one should hold the Democrats and save Robeson. Speaker Champ Clark favors the annexation of Canada to the United States, yet the Democrats raised merry sand when some Republicans even hinted at annexing Cuba. The last Democratic Congress has cost the cotton farmers of . North Carolina the sum of twenty-three million dollars. If you have any doubts, figure it out for yourself. Of course, if the children were fur nished with free text-books not made hy a trust, they might soon be able to think and vote for themselves ' hut do the Democratic politicians ant them to do that ports referred to are as follows: f The report of the National Mone- j tary Commission. x j The Tariff Board reports. The report of the Joint Commis sion to investigate employers liability and workmen's compensation. The report of the Waterways Com mission. - Findings of the special Senate Committee on the Lorimer case, and of the Committee on Privileges and Elections on the Stephenson case. Report of the Commission to inves tigate second-class postal rates. Report of the Commission to In vestigate control of capitalization of railroads. The Initiative and Referendum Be fore the Supreme Court. A unique case, that has attracted more than Nation-wide attention, is now before the Supreme Court. The question at issue is as to whether or not that provision of the Constitution of the State of Oregon providing for the initiative and referendum Is con-stitional. cause manufacturers fear a reduction) a half-dozen or more States have in prices and in order to maintain the present prices are shortening the production. If the latter Is the cause it is most unfortunate, for the clos ing down of mills throws thousands of people out of work. These people are dependent entirely upon their earnings from week to week, and if they are compelled to remain Idle through the shut-downs the purchas ing power of the community is cur tailed to the extent of the wages they would have earned in the interval of idleness, and while the operatives are the most acute sufferers, the whole business community is affected by any interruption of the regular em ployment of labor. As the textile mills of Great Brit ian are in a fairly prosperous condi- Ltion, it seems reasonable to ascribe the poor state of the textile Industry already adopted the initiative and referendum, either as a part of their Constitution or in the form of statu tory law. The other day California adopted the initiative and referendum with the recall added as a constitu tional amendment by about a hun dred thousand majority. Several oth er States, including Wyoming, Ne braska, Wisconsin, Washington and Idaho, have the question pending, , to he voted upon soon by the people. The discussion before the Supreme Court on this question, which occur red a few days ago, hinged chiefly around what the United States Con stitution means when It guarantees to every State "a Republican form of government." One side contend that the Initiative and referendum is a logical part of a Republican form or government, it being simply a' means here to tariff uncertainty. A manu- to correct evils that grow up under facturer cannot be expected to keep ; a RepuDlican form of government byi his machinery at work turning out a i Dringing the people closer to the gov product that he cannot sell atd theerament Those who oppose the in iobber is not inclined -to give big or-1 Hiative and referendum contend, on ders, knowing that when the tariff the other hand, that the adoption of The Baltimore Sun says the ene mies of Governor Wilson . have al ready beat him for President six times. The trouble arises from the fact that his friends don't seem to realize that he is politically dead, and keep on nominating him.

If the country should vote for another Cleveland administration, you will hear them hegging for work even at 50 cents per day. tinkerers get to work at the next ses sion of Congress goods bought now may have to be sold at a heavy loss. It is sincerely to be hoped that we are to see tariff questions separated from party politics in the near fu ture and settled on economic princi ples, for that appears to he the only; way to escape from the periods or de pression caused by the fear of hostile tariff legislation. Don't forget to save out corn for seed while husking it. Just because an ear of corn is large, does not necessarily make it the best for seed. See that the rows are straight from tip to butt, and that the kernels are well formed and plump. Farm Jour nal. "... . this measure utterly destroys a Re publican form of government and es tablishes a pure form, of democracy which the founders of our govern ment did not consider practical for ; such a country as this. ' From the questions asked by mem bers of the Supreme Court while this case whs being argued, the Impres sion has grown that the court will uphold the initiative and referendum as not being repugnant to a Repuh-; lican form of government. , .- : - : ' - -.: - : r- .' v ' Interest in State Elections That Are Being Held To-day. Every politician in Washington to day is speculating on the outcome In State elections which are In progress. The States of Rhode Island, Mary- thj Democrats on a wet ticket, at tacking the prohibition" laws' which had been adopted by the Republicans as a part of the Constitution. It was first announced that the prohibition provision in the Constitution of Maine had been repealed by a close major ity. The Democratic State , adminis tration, which was elected in favor of repeal, has been holding back the returns, and only yesterday they were forced to admit that, on a recount, the people by less than fifty votes had refused to repeal the prohibi tion constitutional provision. It is well known that the present Democratic State administration in Indiana and many other States were elected by the liquor interests. It is generally believed that the Demo cratic machine In North Carolina are not at heart for prohibition. Their failure to enforce the law seems to justify this view. So it seems that if there Is an attempt to adopt prohibi tion as a Democratic National Issue, that it will split the party into many more factions than has ever been seen before. The Net Result of President Taft's Western Trip. No one will watch the election re turns to-night with more interest than President Taft. .Indeed, he will find cause either for gratification or disappointment according to whether or not he interprets the returns as an Indorsement or disapproval of his administration, and especially of his recent Western trip. This writer has watched closely the comments of the press of all parties and factions on the' President's Wes-j tern trip. Of course, the thick and thin partisans of the administration have already declared that the Presi dent has had a continuous ovation and has wonderfully strengthened himself; while, on the other hand, the partisan opponents of the admin istration have all declared that the President has met a frost and that he sees his political doom; etc These extreme views we" have dis carded as not worthy of considera tion. We have, however, paid espe cial attention to the newspapers that have seemed to try to ascertain the truth. ' The People In a Waiting Attitude.' Probably one of the fairest and most intelligent comments on the sit uation has been made by the Topeka Capital. This is the largest paper In Kansas, and the State Is an Insur gent State. The Topeka Capital Is inclined " to , support the insurgent cause. That paper thinks thatPresi dent Taft has made a favorable im pression generally among the people. It states that the people have been pleased with his frank manner and statements, and It ays that the vot ers have listened to him and read what he has said, but they are in (Continued on page 3.).

It Is thought that including the normal demands of Greece, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, British India and all other countries, this amount would be increased by al most 2,-000,000 bales. England and Italy require about 7.50,000 bales more than estimated above for their total consumption. With .these addi tions the amount would be approxi mately 15,268,112 bales.
