THE cotton oil trust.
ITS ORIGIN, DEVELOPMENT AND
PRESENT STRENGTH.
Its Ways of Dealing With Mill Owners
Who Will Not Come to Terms —Claim
Made in Its Behalf That It Has Sys
tematized the Business and is a Good
Thing for the Producer—The Men in
the Newly Organized Opposition
Company —540,000,000 Out in Cer
tificates.
From the Chicago Tribune.
The suit recently brought in New Orleans
against the American Cotton Oil Trust for
various extortionate and illegal acts calls re
newed attention to a comparatively new
branch of business and one concerning
which the public has little knowledge. The
use of cotton-seed for making food for man
and beast and fertilizers for the earth is the
creation of a great source of wealth which
has until recent years been almost entirely
neglected. Millions of dollar's are now real
ised every year from a substance which has
heretofore run to waste, and the isdustry is
in its infancy.
The control of this industry is now mainly
in the hands of this one company, and there
is a very natural fear that its further devel
opment will be impeded, that the planters
will not receive a fair compensation for
their seed, and that the people will not de
rive all the benefit they should from this im
portant product of the soil. The officials of
the Cotton Oil Trust claim that they are
pursuing a perfectly legitimate course—that
thev are doing nothing but what any honor
able business man would do in the conduct
of his affaire. At the same time some of
them admit that all the tremendous power
of the company’s capital is used to drive
men of moderate means from the industry,
Thev avow that, wherever they see a section
of the couifb y of which they wish to obtain
control, they propose to buy out the mills in
operation there, and if the owners wall not
sell they will come in themselves, bid up the
price of seed to a point where there is no
profit in the industry, and finally force the
local manufacturers to sell to them or
leave. "This,” say the opjiosition manu
facturers, “is conspiracy and tyranny of the
strong over the weak, and if there is any
remedy in the laws we will have it.”
“It is not conspiracy,” replies the Trust,
“but a policy such as any business man pur
sues, using all the ad vantage that his wealth
and position give him in his competition
with others.”
There is a great deal of hard feehng
against the Trust all through the South on
account of its grasping policy, but hereto
fore there has been no successful resistance,
and it may almost be said that the organi
zation can get hold of any mill it want': on
terms favorable to itself. However bitter
the owners of any mill may be, they will
aot run the risk of utter ruin in resisting
this powerful enemy. The Trust will leave
tiie owner of a mill half a loaf in the shape
of the superintendency of the property un
der its supervision, and will pay him a mod
erate price for liis plant. This he considers
better than having his works closed and his
busiiiass destroyed utterly.
There are not far from 150 mills and re
fineries hi the South, of which about four
fifths belong to the American Cotton Oil
Trust. The se mills are to be found in every
Btate where cotton is raised, and some ef
forts have been made to establish works in
the Northern States, but with little success.
It is not to be understood that all these
nulls are in operation. Only three of the
seven in New Orleans are now open, and
there are many small ones at obscure points
which have been closed for a long time.
Closing mills and keeping down the supply
of the produet is one of the methods of
maintaining the price of oil. The Trust
also buys part of the output of the opposi
tion mills from time to time for the same
purpose. It appears, therefore, that the
outsiders si ill have some influence on the
market, though the Trust claims that it
does not want to buy any more mills. Of
the eleven mills in Memphis five are gener
ally said to be outside the combination, but
it is known that the Trust owns some of the
stock of these concerns and is gradually ac
quiring more. Advantage is taken of every
little reverse in the business for this pur
pose. A number of the stockholders of the
outside mills in Memphis have recently sold
out because they thought it W'as of no use
to resist.
This policy is the same that has been pur
sued from the organization of the Trust, in
September, ISB-I. The officials state that the
enterprise was undertaken for the purpose
of systematizing a business which had been
conducted entirely without regard to busi
ness rules, and which had become demoral
ized by the reckless comjietition of those en
gaged in it. The first experiments in the
manufacture of cotton oil were made in 1832
or 1833, but they resulted very unsatisfacto

started twenty and thirty yean ago, but
■iiey state that nothing was accomplished
•11 after the war. Almost everybody who
went into it lost money, and of course the
" ju-completed the ruin. After the armies
tclt the field there was a revival of the in
tV yl amt some money was made, but the
ntetaods wore crude, competition for the
j(1 ran high, and the sale of the product
as difficult because its value was not uu
lerstood by the people. The business had
■ts ups and downs till 1882, when the best
pulls, such as those in Memphis and New
p Means, were [laying good dividends and
-ae stocks were selling above pur. In 1883
itte manufacturers got into an eager com
jetmon for the seed, and the price was run

treasury applicable to the payment of divi
dends. Certain it is that as an enterprise
whose object is profit it is in better condi
tion than ever before. The stock was issued
as low as S2O a share in payment for mills
at first, and it is now above SSO. Insiders
say it matters not to them whether the
certificates sell at $25 or $75 a share.
They are keeping the stock for what
it will pay in dividends. The Trust,
w'liich is not an incorporated body,
builds no mills, all construction being
in charge of the American Cotton Oil Com
pany, which has charters in the States
where the concern is operating.
Tiie people in tho enterprise deny with
great emphasis that they antagonize the in
terests of the planters. 'lt is even declared
that there is a scheme on foot for admitting
that class of people to a share in the profits
of the cotton oil industry, the amount going
to each planter being proportioned to tho
quantity of seed he sells to the Trust. It is
asserted, too, that the Trust by its system
atization of the business has made a stable
market for the seed. Before the organiza
tion was formed the planter never could tell
what he would get for his product.
Sometimes it was worth sls a ton, and
sometimes it could not be sold on any terms.
Against all such claims as this it is charged
that the Trust oppresses tho planters; that
it stands in the way of improvements in
machinery and methods; that it prevents a
rapid increase in the consumption of the
oil, and that in general its policy is tyran
nical, selfish and obstructive.
It cannot be said that there is any great
confidence in the company recently formed
in Philadelphia to run an opposition to the
American Cotton Oil Trust. Even the com
panies opixised to the Trust are suspicious of
it. The alleged paid-up capital of the new
concern is $4,(XX),000, of which Henry C.
Butcher, of Philadelphia, takes $1,000,000;
William S. Harvey, of Philadelphia, SS(X),-
0iX); John Oliver, of Columbia, S. C.,
$1,000,000; Frederick Oliver, of Colum
bia, S. C., $000,000; David A. Tomp
kins, of Charlotte, N. C., $400,000; and
Alvin C. Newland, of Camden, N. J.,
$500,000. These men were all connected
with the firm of Washington Butcher’s Sons,
of Philadelphia, till that concern sold out to
the Trust a tew months ago, except the Oli
vers, who not long since sold their mills in
the Carolina* to the same concern. It m as
serted that these people arc too poor to carry
out any such enterprise. Tho connection of
P. D. Armour, ot Chicago, with this affair is
believed to have been made for effect on the
stock market and the price of oil. The
owner of one of the opposition mills in New
Orleans says: “Armour used to haveacon
tract with the Trust for oil
on favorable terms, but before it ran
out the Trust had bought the business
of N. K. Fnirbank. This placed Mr.
Armour in an embarrassing position, and he
took his revenge by raiding the certificates
in Wall street. It is believed that his rela
tions with tho Trust have now' been set to
rights. He was our last hope, and I suppose
we shall have to submit to tho oppression of
the Trust with as good grace as possible.”
Officers of the Trust say that the noise made
in organizing tlio new company does not
look like business. They deny that these
people have machinery that is better than
that owned by the Trust. A company
was recently formed at Vicks
burg for the purpose of preparing
cotton-seed for exportation by re
moving the lint from the shell by the Craw
ford process, and there is talk of a company
In New Orleans with a capital of $1,000,000
to make oil from the seed prepared by this
method. The best oil has, however, here
tofore been made by a process that removes
the lint and shell together. The success of
this undertaking is therefore problemati
cal
On the whole, the grip of the American
Cotton Oil Trust on this important and grow
ing industry is very firm. Such suits as
that recently brought in New Orleans do not
usually avail much, and individuals will not
make an attack on so powerful an organiza
tion unless they see a prospect of profit. It
is believed that the ruling spirits of the Cot
ton Oil Trust are largely the same as those
of the Standard Oil Company, which has
demonstrated its ability in the way of
creating a monopoly. The tremendous
public sentiment against such combinations
will, however, have some effect. It will at
least show these enterprising gentlemen
that there is a point beyond which it is not
safe to go in their effort to control the en
tire cotton oil interest of this country.”
EYES ANALYZED.
What Qualities of Temperament should
Go With the Black, Brown, and Blue.
fYorn the St. James Gazette.
Speaking popularly, we may say that eyes
. are brown, blue, gray, hazel, black, green or
of no color at all. The last three varieties,
however, are based on misnomer. Speaking
generally again, we may say that blue eyes
take care of their friends, brown of their
enemies, gray of their countries, black of
their pleasures, and green of themselves.
The blue is certainly the type with the great
est number of varieties. It is a color that
illustrates pre-eminently the feminine qual
ities—tenderness, affection, a yielding to the
wishes of others, a sympathy with small
sufferings, that measure of vanity without
which no woman can be entirely attreative,
and that self-surrender which goes far to
persuade a man that he is a demigod because
liis wife believes it and tells him so. The
color seems to be getting more rare in those
days. This is the blue that goes with golden
hair. Blue eyes must be mated with their
appropriate complexion. That color, so
fascinating in a blonde, is no less delightful
in a brunette; but—say the scientists —its
meaning is now alteredr. There comes in
now, coupled with the affectionate qualities,
n certain tendency to deceive, stimulated by
an ambition for conquest and hading to the
gratification of admiration. There remain
the light blue and the violet. The first is
the eye of the Northern races—of the Swedes
and the Danes, of the Scotch sometimes also.
It suggests constancy and truth, steadfast
ness, simplicity, courage, purpose. It is a
man’s eye, with its moderation and self-re
speet —honest in the glance it gives you, if
at the same time rather cold and phlegmatic.
And then there is the violet eve, which is a
woman’s eye, and of which the main char
acteristics ore affection mid purity, chlvalric
belief and limited or deficient intellectual
ity.
And now come the brown eyes. They are
the eyes of the south and of the east—of the
sunny races; the most passionate and the
least original, and to them licking the lus
trous black hair and tlu olive complexion of
slnn. With their, we get jealousy and cruelty,
somewhat of the feline nature ill women; and
in men, courage coupled with superstition, j
a wild recklessness of life, and a disregard |
for the sufferings of other.. But the type
has altered through infinite modifications;
and. there are brown eyes in plenty that
have nothing in common tli th • ptesionate
qualities of the south. Tins may be gener
ally predicted: t hat a hen tile brown is light
the disposition is affectionate but wayward,
and ns that brown darkens you pass from
affection to pa-ohm.
Last comes the haze! eyes, which arc more
frequent in novels than in life*. No two
|K<ople seem quite agreed a. to the definition
ot the color, and the reference to a hazel nut,
which starts by being green, and passes
thivugh yellow "to brown, confusingly illu
strates every theory. A blne-gruy radiated
from within with brown and bronze streaks
seems to come nearest tho general view.
A lopting tabs us the i-olor, it will I** seen
that they ore dually found among the mix
