credit their oUl-tlmo conservative meth
ods und .to Induce a too ready accept
ance of plausible theories for relief.
With regard to the cause of the dew
prices, the report says: It Is conceded
that the Ubvtous, apparent and prox
imate cause Is over-production. S.nce
In ’the main, with deviations produced
by abnormal conditions, prlco Is
regulated by supply ami demand—a
full supply .with relatively dlmln.shed
demand bringing low'prices and a great
and active demand with diminished
supply ibrlnglug higher prices. Where
there s an annual increasing supply
there ought also to he, to maintain
prices, an annual Increasing demand.
Statistics are produced to overthrow
the theoiy of ovenproduotlon being
the cause of the low prices, the sur
plus In America and Europe being less
than in 1860.
Concluding this part of the report,
the comm.ttee say:
It is the effective wants of the ulti
mate consumer which fixes the amount
of the demand for the raw cotton. If
there was no cotton factory in the
United States and foreign cotton man-
ufacturen were admitted free of duly
and sold at a oost no higher than Is now
charged for cotton goods, there would
not be 100 hsles less consumed In the
United States than at present. If such
goods were admitted at a lower price
consumption would be advanced. So
that the real effective home market
for the raw catllon, wherever manu
factured, .s In the consumptive power
of the people. Whoever takes the cot
ton from the farmers and gives It in
a manufactured state to the consum
ers at the lowest added coat. Is a bene-
tfCiai MgC-ut, tVCtsi t<> tuC COuoi
producer, by increasing consumption
and preventing a surplus. Whoever
and whatever Increases this additional
Intermediate charge reduces consump
tion and injures both producer and
consumer.
The extent to wlnieh dealing In "fu
tures" has attained In tale years Is
also set forth as another aittso con
tributing to low prices. Much space
was taken on this subject by the com
mittee. An elaborate argument Is made
to show the power of congress to deil
with this subject and suppress it. Hav
ing established this fact to its own sat
isfaction, tire report continues:
"It would seem to require no argu
ment to show the propriety of the ex
ercise of the power if only the result
would 1>e to restore'to the public at

elally shown by the evidence which we
ropoiu to bo In tho bad plight

government of tho whole country
that it ahall use It* powers lo prevent
dtiprmsion In the prtco of their great
staple by tbe treks, devices and arti
fices of gamblers In human labor, as
we have shown these dealers to be.”
The committee concludes this part
of Its report by stating Its conviction
to be that whilst ttn-se dealing in fu
ture! oannpt for any long period name
absolutely the prioe of cotton Independ
ent of the supply and demand, yet they
clearly, sometimes abnormally, produce
too kiw prices, as welt as high -prtem,
as la admitted by their advocates, for
temporary period. But generally
they depress, to a considerable extent,
pritacs. and that congrcM baa not only
the power to abolish th en, but is In
duty bound to do ao.
Under port 4 the demonetization of
silver is discussed as being a cause
for low cotton, more potent than tiny
other. There are many printtd pages
of arguments 4n favor of the rehabili
tation of Oliver and She prevention
thereby of falboc prices by the oppo
sition uf gold.
The committee also finds that the
tmkrertetlon at gold from Europe, oth
er than by the regular commercial
methods, tends to deprem the price of
cotton, os It lessens ihe amount of
money In tlse market .which flaws the
price of cotton.
The report concludes with a dlvhdoa
devoted to remedial legislation. The
conclusion, readhd by Mr. George,
chairman of the conmdttee, ere con
carred in by hts Republican snso-
Clstes. His great r.eneriy is the ‘re
monetization of silver, hut be admits
that there Is no tanoeidiute prospect for
its reallxsMan.
Other remedies suggested by the re
port are the repeal of the duty on cot
ton mnnufsaturing otMMnery. aspe
cts llv spinning machinery, the sccom-
pHitainent of Which is unlikely. After
viewing nil sides of ihe question the
reports asy It Will be found to be fan-
possible to foretell with certainty all
Phan’S of cotton problems, but M seems
th" following ntiy be relied on with
some confidence:
‘■First. Considering sett and cli
