Hpop the floor of the Senate
bill finally passed without a dis-
vote., Tma bill is known as thi
Smith-Sears bill.
The work that haa been done by Sena
tor Hoke Smith during the past five yean
to keep the markets open for the sale ol
cotton has been of Immense service to
the southern farmers. He began his
fight In the Tall of 1114, and for five
years, in season and out of season, he
was the leader of the struggle to pre-
serve and open markets for the sale
of cotton. This is too long a story.
»nd involves too many distinct contests,
In the Senate and out of the Senate, to
be given in detail in this article.
His first bill was in the fail of 1914,
and provided for the exchange of two
hundred and» fifty millions of bonds for
five million bales of cotton. The bill
provided that the cotton should be kept
off the market for two years. In this
fight he was not successful. i
As the result of a resolution Intro
duced by Senator Hoke Smith In the 8en-!
ate on October 22nd, 1914. the English
government, on October ttth, conceded
the right .of American otUsens to ship
their cotton unmolested -to ail points In
northern Europe, Including Germany, and,
as a result of this conoesslon, over three
millions of bales were shipped In De
