ST. LOUIS. Dec. 12—The fikrklnfff of, an englae'a exhaust volleying out of the darkness, the hlsa of a prow slush ing through the waves at locomotive gpeed. a white banner of spray trallod swiftly across the (waters. and through It hardy visages glimpsed behind a hooded lantern—these are the por tents by which officers of revenue cutters have now learned to recog nise, with impotent rage, the new motor boat smugglers of the Great Lakes. From the obscure ports along the 2,500 miles of coast line of tho lakes, fleets of these racers of tho deep oro putting forth every moonless night, and showing their heels to tho fastest cutters which attempt pursuit. Dart ing through the opening they have, made in the _ protective tariff wall which towers high between the United States and Canada, they disembark costly cargoes of furs. Jewels, liquors, tobacco and opium without the for mality of paying duty. The profits of 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 Is opened In It. 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 w itrollod, as ore also the Mexican borders on tho other aide of the river. Little trouble Is had In guarding the overland line btween the United States and Canada In the northwest. Rut sflong the Great Lakes a new and baffling problem has now arisen with tho advent of the motor boat Marvels of Great Spfeed.

Therefore, the smugglers do a large clothing business, carrying over bales of reuay-mado and tallormade clothes for Aim-rlcan con sumption, at prices double their cost In Canada. From the United States, on their return trips, the smugglers 'take large consign ments of tobacco and cigars, which are greedily purcliased by the Canadians, most of whom neVer see n good cigar at reasonable price, on account of the which an ad valorem levied by either government. books which have been copyrlgl country, but not In the other, and trldges and weapons.

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.

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. tiro supply used on this side was Tied In.

In addition. It Is oossthle that a most stem of licensing motor boats the lakes will be Inaugurated. 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 his boat. But many of the smugglers will ha able to evade taking out a license, and the smalt draft of their boats will enable them to be leeched out of right when not la use. and their very pr.n i once on the lakes concealed. .Treffl# fn Chinamen.

The Dominion government, It la eald. will bring a bill In parliament before the clone of the present cession, to prohibit of opium in purposes, the sevei out of h ..... the most lucrative branch of smuggling. 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 covered recently tint a secret pipe line had been laid under the St. CTlalr river from Canada to Detroit, through which great quantities of whisky were pumped dally. The pipe has been destroyed. Another method was used by smugglers from the Dominion side, who sank their goods In ulr-tlght rAns near buoys on the American sldo, leaving them to be Ashed out by their accomplices here!

I am strongly 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 again until It has reached a point A - money may bn mad« as much In this section as where diversified pursuits have been In vogue fnr a long. limn. Becauee of the growth of mnnufacturee. he asserted, tho development of tho cot ton oil business, tho markets for perish able farm products and, better railway facilities, the cotton farmer had been brought to receive at least ono billion and a quarter billion dollars where he used'to receive only three hundred mil lion.
