motor boat smugglers of the Great
Lakes.

this clandestine traffic aro said to
be enormous.
Smuggling Easy.
There Is nothing to prevent smug
gling between Canada and St. Louis,
for motor boats regularly make the
trip" between Chicago and this City.
One of them' made faster time than
a train In conveying a message from
‘Mayor Busse to President Roosevelt
on the occasion of his latest visit to
St. Louis.
Onco in Chicago, a boat laden with
St. lAmls products can thread ita way
across Lake Michigan, and In one
night's race, safely make the Cana
dian shores. A well-known young so
ciety woman In the West End, St.
Louis, possesses a valuable set of furs
which were smuggled by motor boat
from Canada across Lake Erie Into
the United States.
The aid which science has afforded
smuggling by the invention of the
fleet motor boat Is already exercising
the customs authorities on both aides
of the lakes. The United States n.nfl
Canada hive high tariff systems, the
whole fabric of Svhlch Is weakened,
like that of a dam, when one crevl

Both countries are able to protect
their boundaries along the sea coasts,
whore there are but few harbors in
which oceangoing cmft can be ac
commodated. The United States bor
ders along the Rio Grande are easily

borders on tho other aide of the river.
Little trouble Is had In guarding the
overland line btween the United

I. A. TOMPKINS ID
15 CENTS COTTON
PRODUCTION SHOULD BE LIMIT
ED TO WHAT CAN BE TAKEN
AT THAT PRICE.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 12—Declaring
that fifteen cents Is not too high a
price for cotton, urging the develop
ment of factories and diversified pur
suits. and Impressing the fact that fac
tories and railways arc not only the
farmers best friends but hlH salvation,
were the salient features of an address
by Mr. D. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte,
a well-known southern textile manu
facturer, before the Southern Comer-
clal Congress In Washington.
Mr. Tompkins gave a historical ro-
vlew of the production of cotton In the
United States, beginning with the year
1790, and furnished statistics both an
to the number of bales produced and
the prices obtalnod. These varied
from 44 cents to 5 cents per pound.
“Increasing the production and con
versely lowering tho price," he auld,
"ivas practically parallel with the
strengthening of the Influences of the
Institution of slavery and tho diminish-
Ing of manufactures and dlvojslfled vo-
actions In commerce and transporta
tion."
Effects of 8lave Trade.
He declared that tho Institution of
slavery dried up the manufactures of
the cotton growing states and grad
ually reduced the occupations of the
people to the production of staple
crops with slave labor. It also, he said,
had the effect of driving off whits Im
migration. of constraining emigration
of free white labor and other white
people who were opposed to slavery,
while on tho other hand, It mado an
other tide of emigration In the persona
of white people who favored the Insti
tution of shivery and who moved to
the southwest, carrying slaves with
them, to And Ynore land- ,'Tt trans
pired," he snld. "that all of these In
fluence* were not good for the aouth
and they ultimately brought the price
of cotton, even In alavery tlmea, down
to 5 cents per pound. It brought about
a condition which was neither advan
tageous to the state^.nor to the Indl-
Idual. not even the slave holder. Aft-
r thnt condition had b<*en reached, he

tween slavery and freo institutions and
for tho time being tho advocates of
slavery won the day

hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Opium Smuggled From Canada.
Practically all of the smoking opium
consumed In the United States Is tho
product of seven factories In British Co
lumbia. and is smuggled across the lakes,
often in motor boats. In the plat few
years the United States government has
spent thousands and thousands of dollars
In an attempt to break up the practice of
smuggling opium across the line.
For many years, not a pound of optutn
manufactured In Canada and Imported
Into the United Status hns been entered
at an American 'Customs house.' The en.

A Difficult Problem.
How are Uncle Bam and .the Canadian
government to cone with this formidable
peril to their tariff systems?

If six motor-boat pirates started sim

eminent boat started In pursuit, it could

glers would try to see uncle Pam one
better In the speed and endurance of
their crafts.
In addition. It Is oossthle that a most
stem of licensing motor boats

The character of «v*ry amdleant for a
license may hays to be rigidly examined,
and even .after a permit Is Issued, close
watch kept on the nocturnal habits of

will ha able to evade taking out a license,
and the smalt draft of their boats will

The federal officers have been able to
frustrate many other Ingenious methods
of evading the customs, but the motor
boats are now baffling them. It waa dis

had been laid under the St. CTlalr river
from Canada to Detroit, through which
great quantities of whisky were pumped

Another method was used by smugglers
from the Dominion side, who sank their
goods In ulr-tlght rAns near buoys on

South After the Wsr.
Passing to the conditions brought
about by tho Civil War, Mr. Tompkins
snld that the hWUth wm left very poor
nnd without moans to entor upon va
ried Industries at once.' During the
reconstruction period, he said, «v«;ry-
body followed the business of raising
cotton and a few other staplq xrops.
"This," he said, "made an unnaturally
fierce competition which again reduced
th 0 price to five cents and the condi
tion of th© people to great poverty and
distress." It wns then, hu said, that
the resl reconstruction of the south,
the establishment of manufactures, and
the diversity of pursuits began, whleh
brought cotton back to a condition of
fair remuneration for the producer,
Development of Commeroe.
Mr. Tompkins described the manner
In which the development of manufac
tures and coin moron had aceojnpllshod
such a radical benefit to the farmer.
"First," he said, "vast numbers of
people have been taken off tho cotton
farms by the various manufactures
and commercial developments, nnd thle
relieves competition in cotton produc
tlon. Second, all of the cotton fao
torles become consumers of cotton and
thereby there Is a tendency to stimu
late the price, and third, this factory
population, drawn off the farms, be
come consumers of perishable farm
products and thereby the condition of
the farmer Is very much Improved by
tho Income for farm products which
■Were formerly worthless without -
market."
Cotton Too Cheap.
Despite the complaint of European
spinners.'Mr. Tompkins Mid. that Amer
ican cotton producers should aell thilr
cotton cheap. It was u fact thnt they bad
been and were now selling It too chenp-
ly. Mistaken governmental policies, both
before and after the civil war, he said,
had kept the price of cotton down. It
was known, however, he said, "thnt
since the re-estnbllslitnent of manufac
tures, dating bark to, sny 1290, the price
of cotton has lmen gradually w

facilities, the cotton farmer had been

what they used to get without factories
and then after that would have f*d still
