price, based upon th Investment. In
addition to this, th production of
cotton is th most hazardous end of
any line of th cotton Industry, pure
ly and simply a gamble. America
maintains an absolute monopoly In
the production of raw cotton, a world
necessity. The production of-cotton
requires more labor and a larger
expense than any known crop. AH
of there Matters point clearly to the
fact that the producer should rece've
a profitable price for the prdouctlon

reverse Is the case. Every line of
the commercial side of the cotton in
dustry have grown wealthy from the
handling of cotton, except the pro
ducer. He has failed to receive any
thing like just returns for the pro
duction of cotton for the last five
years, amounting to a stupendous
sum. Common sense and simply Jus
tice plainly show that based upon the
shove conditions the producing end
should have been by far the most
profitable end. It will never become
such until you have ararnged to take
control of cotton from the gamblers
and leeches who now receive the
profits which justly belong to the
producer."
