SOUTHERN COTTON GROWERS MEET
AND ADOPT STRONG RESOLUTIONS
The Convention Declares in Favor of Reduced Acre
age, Against Cotton Speculation, Indorses the
American Cotton Growers’ Protective
Association and Adjourns.
Tho interstate cotton growers’ convention, met and sitting in Atlanta. Decem
ber 11, 1857, having thoroughly eanvassied the situation of our industry in all its
many phases, promulgate the following statement tend address as the result of its
deliberations;
1. Tlie most pressing need of the hour for the attainment of our ends Is a
thorough organization of the growers of cotton, beginning with tho Individual
grower, however, humble, and reaching up through township, county, state and
Interstate organization. We cordially commend tho organization over which Hon.
Hector D. Lane ably presides, and tender that body at its meeting in Memphis
on the 20th instant our co-operation in completing the organization so well begun
by it several years ago. To the end that uniformity may exist throughout all
tho states organized and to bo organized, we shall appoint .-t committee of tho
body to consider all plans of organization that may bo submitted at this meet
ing and mature a plan for presentation to our brethren at. Alemphis next week
through a delegation to be appointed by this meeting to represent this convention
In that body.
2. While not abating any of our contentions that the monetary system of our
country la at tho foundation of oar dilliculties, as It Is nt the bottom of the <l*--
presslon in all industries, we hold that there arc deep-rooted evils peculiar to our
Industry that demand imnudlate attention and rem.dy. An.l of first Import
ance among these as n factor in depressing prices is the spi'culative control exer
cised ov. r the price of actual cotton through the unjust rules and regulations of
th. .-.ition e\«-h:i i.g.-s. This evil We are < .mvln.-ed <an be rea.-iu .! only by legisla
tion, and hence wo pledge ourselves and our organization to labor lor the needed
ligls! Hive restriction of gambling in futures in our iispective states and in con
gress.
3. This evil b. Ing abolished or r duced to a. minimum by proper legislation, and
the control of spot cotton being thus restored to tho producer;) under the law ot
supply and demand, as far as that law' Is allowed, to op'-rate under a vicious
monetary system, we deem it next in importance that our farms be made seif
sustaining In so far as climate and soil conditions permit and increase the amount
of food supplies. Tho cotton grower who makes bls supplies at home, Is in a
large measure ind. pendent of tlie manipulator of tlie spot cotton market.
4. The next source of 10.-s is also an important on.', but is entirely in tho
control of the grower, ns is the last one—diligent and careful attention to the prep
aration of our cotton for the market. Thousands- yes, millions —of dollars are lost
annually to the cotton grower through careless handling of the cotton from tho
field to the gin and press and through Use of Inferior covering. While our farm
ers fully understand this, this meeting would neglect an important responsibility
if it failed to call attention to this source of loss and urge correction of the evil.
W. further recommend the est.ibil.- h men t of an Information bureau.
Resolved, Tliat this convention indorse the organlzatlon known :t.s the Amer
ican Cotton Growers’ Protective Association; as it Is already In existence and Is
working for the same objects for which wo ai’o assembled, tho reduction of tho
ti. age and increase of tho price of cotton ,and the correction of the evils ot
speculation a.nd others that oppress the producer;’ that w . give our indorsement to
the American Cotton Growers' Protective Association.
Resolved further, That wo suggest to tho meeting of the American Cotton
Growers’ Protective Association, .it its meeting in Memphis next week, that the
president of each state organization shall boa vice president of tlie national asso
ciation.
Resolved further, That such vice presidents appoint presidents of county or
ganizations to be formed ill all the counties of the states where cotton is grown,
so that tho organization may be so p. r fee ted that the decisions arrived at by tho
association may be carried out throughout all the cotton growing s- tlon of tho
Vnitcil States as a unit, as it. is in this way only that Hie <b signs of the assocla
ion may be carried out and the various measures ol i« lii-f and reforfn be inaugu-
all over the south.
Resolved, That this convention, as far as tlie votes of North Carolina, South
Carolina, Alabama, Alisslssippi and Georgia may entitle them, recommend the
re-election of the Hon. Hector D. Lane,of Alabama, as president of the American
Cotton Growers’ Protective Association.
Tills committee recommends the following committee as suitable gentlemen to
represent this convention at tho coming Memphis convention: Dr. D. M. Cros
son. W. A. Broughton, W. J’. Ba teli.-lor, W. ,1. I-tick. Dr. J. B. Hunnicutt. Tliat
these gentlem. n elect their alternates. .1. K. Karie was added.
He it resolved by this convention, That we commend the anti-option bill to
the attention of the cotton growers of the south and to the meat and grain pro
ducers of the west, and we earnestly urge upon the producers of these articles
of commerce that they memorialize their respective representatives in congress
and the senate of the United States to give to the Stokes bill their active and
earnest support and to do all within their power to have this bill enacted into
law.

Ex-Governor Northen suggested that Di*
rector R. J. Redding, of the Georgia ex
periment station, read a compilation of the
mov ment of the cotton maiket tor the
past, luirteen years which he had pre
pared. Tl.e table contains matter of In
terest to cotton men and shows the price
of cotton on given days of every month
and every year for tile past thirteen years.
It also gives the average price for every
month ami every year.
It shows that tlu- price of cotton has as
i a gem-rnl rule been .owest during the
month of November. This was attributed
by Director Redding to the fact that at
that particular time the farmers had to
meet their obligations and were forced to
sell large quantities of their crop.
J. B. Steppe, of the South Carolina dele
gation, took the floor and spoke of the
manm r in which the cotton groweis ate
Oppressed by Wall street. There are men
in tlie 'South, lie su’d, wbo are aiding them
In their work. He said:
”1 have submitted to the committee reso
lutions which I believe wul relieve the
south *>f this oppr< ssion. I am opposed to
.-p"i-ul.itl* :i and gambling or in aiding ami
tint It. I believe, g. ntlemen, that we
m of the s mth are being enslaved by one
little state that Ims mor** capital than ail
the southern states combined."
H. S. Lipscomb, of South Carolina, was
of tho opinion that there Is more than one
link to the chain and he advocated a re
duction of acreage. He said Im bus been a
■ . ; for mi ny y< .rs and w en i

tin- wheels ami motive power of commerce.
Be said al! that it was necessary for tlmni
to do to ra.l e the price of cotton is to stir
I themselves and he was willing to spend ms
I time to reach tills end.
W. J. Gaines made a short talk on the
following resolutions which he had sub
mitted to the committee:
"Whereas, The condition of the cotton
growing states of America is, and lias b. en
since the war, in a precarious condition,
brought about to an alarming extent by

planters and placing the product In the
hands of irresponsible laborers and ten
ants, thereby placing the responsibility in
th<-‘ir hands; and

"Tills is a representative body of men,”
sail] Mr. Gaines, “all in perfect harmony
and all suffering under the same oppres
sion. Let us make our farms self-sustain
ing on a cash basis or on an honest basis.
THE WEEKLY €ONSTTTT T TTOX: ATLANTA, GA., MONDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1897.
When you put it on an honest basis it will
not cost so much.”
He then referred to the Hen law and also
made reference to the antl-optlon bill
which is touched on In the resolutions. “I
want you to pass these resolutions," said
Mr. Gaines, “by a rising vote and If any
one suffers by them I will almost guarantee
to be responsible.”
J. B. Steppe raid he was glad the gentle
man had covered the ground so well in his
resolutions. Ho said he believed that If
they were to make 5,000,000 Instead of 10,-
0(0,000 1 ales of cotton the combin 'tlon of
machinery could still buy It at 5 cents. The
thing necessary for them to do, la said, Is
to make cotton cheaply. meet their
obligations and fight, the ' ombin.ition of
• ffoi t orkii In t them. II" said he
was not so much in favor of cutting down
the crop om-thlrd or one-!.i If. It was the
only thing he could make money on. They
should make their farm- seif-sustaining
and let the cotton be a surplus crop. In
oth. r words they should first raise all that
is necessary for their year's support an !
li t the entire profit come from the cotton
crop.
A Public Ownership Flan.
John Alb-n Mette, of Trenton, S. C., has

Picks Cotton by Suction.
Mr. George E. Hoyt, of New York, presi
dent of tlie Cyclone Air Power Company,
came down to attend tlie meeting of cotton
igrowers He is a igontlemian of means
himself and has strong financial bucking.
The purpose of his visit is to confer
with the planters about a new mechanical
catton, picker which works I>y suction.
There are more than 1.100 different models
of cotton pickers in tlie patent office at
Washington. Not one of them is a suc
cess.
Mr. Hoyt believes that it is possible to
make a machine which will enable the
farmer to clear money on 5-cent cotton.
The picker In which ho is interested Is
’different from any that was ever con
structed before. The principle of it is to
pick tlie cotton from the bolls by suction.
The outfit Is drawn by a horse or possibly
two horses on Hilly ground.
Two men or boys sit on the machine
and operate the hose, pointing the muzzles
at a cotton plant as it is approached. The
suction is so strong that it draws the cot
ton from the boll by the time the nozzle
gets within six inches of it. If dead leaves
or other trash enter the hose with the
cotton, it is separated by a fan after leav
ing the hose. The machine has been tested
in Texas and tho principle was demon
strated to be applicable. Lach man or boy
operating a hose will pick I.tXX) pounds of
cotton in a day.
There is no ■ model of the machine here.
Mr. Hoyt e.irile down simply to talk with
such planters as Colonel Broughton, Colo
nel James Smith, Colonel Truitt and o.hers
who are leading planters.
THE COTTON PROBLEM.
A Word from the Chairman of the
Committee on Resolutions of the
Cotton Growers’ Convention.
It will be conceded, I take it, without
argument, tliat search tor a solution of
this problem, or any problem, should begin
with tile determination of the conditions
that give rise to the problem. 1 shall en
cl) avor, therefore, at the outset to state
briefly, but clearly, the controlling condi
tions in this case, and for tlie sake of
brevity discuss and dispose of cacli before
passing from it.
Os course the fundamental condition un
derlying tiiis probli m, as it does all our
industrial problems, is the financial ques
tion. No solution independent of an ex
pansion of the circulating medium can be
complete or permanent; so. on the other
hand, any solution addressed to the pecu
liar conditions in this case will be made
more effective by an adequate supply of
money.
While the factors and' conditions that
enter into and are peculiar to the problem
under consideration are multitudinous, they
may be boiled down to three; and fortun
ately control of any one of the three car
ries with it control of the problem.
In the. first place, then, we are confront
ed w'illi tlie condition tliat wo consume
only one-third of the cotton we rals". bully
two-thirds of our crop, if sold at all, must
be sold abroad, in the markets of the world,
in competition with the world’s crop.
Manifestly then is no immediate cor
rective for this condition. It can be modi
fied only by such Increase of cotton man
ufacturing in this country as w.il absorb
the major portion of our crop. While this
Is not without the prospect and even prom
ise of achievement. Its realization is too
far In the future, and too largely inde
pendent of the cotton growers, to come
within the purview of Ibis meeting. It
may, therefore, be dismissed.
In th) l second place, n* .irly, If net. quite,
two-thirds ot tlie cotton crop of this coun
try Is produced under encumbrance. If not
directly mortgaged for supplies with which
to make the crop, the money’ for supplies
Is borrow) d payable in 1 ■ rtober and Novem
ber.
Clear'y tho (wf't? ' this two-thlrds
cannot be counted as factors in controlling
either the amour,’ produced or the price.
The only possible wav to make this two
thirds of the crop an efficient factor, or a.
factor of any sort, in the desired desuit,
is to so enlarge th,* scope of the organi
zation suggested below as to Include those
who really control this cotton—tlie local
merchant, who furnishes the supplies to
make it, and whose interest in maintaining
fair prices is Identical witli tliat of the
gi owe rs t hemselves.
This brings us to the consideration of the
third and by f ir the most Important con
dition to be met. Fortunately It Is a con
dition not impossible of removal or modi
fication. It is well understood by all who
have looked into the methods of the New
York cotton exchange (and the methods of
all the i tchang are prnctlc illy the same)
tliat the supply of and demand for actual
cotton cuts no figure whatever in determ
ining the price of tiie actual cotton. By
tile rules of the exchange buyers of actual
cotton are practically excluded from the
exchanges. Under the rubs of tlie ex
change. and the form of contract used, the
seller of a future contract can tender any
gi. de of cotton from good ordinary to
lair. Os course the spinner who wants ac
tual cotton wants spocilic grades, suitable
for tlie kind of goods lie is making. His
business may require grades above mid
dling. If lie buys on the cotton exchanges,
he mav have for,, cd mon him only those
g-rades below middling. Hence the spinner
or buyer of actual cotton never goes to
the exchange to buy if he can supply his
wants anywhere else. I iiis leaves the ex
changes entirely in the hands of the spec
ulative trader; and the . xehanges tix the
price of tin' commodity. If cotton Is
I.ringing !• - ■ th in the law- of supply and
demand would justify, the exchanges are
responsible, and as already shown they
are manipulated solely by the speculative
trader.
The spinner buying through his agents
throughout the country bases his limit to
buyers by Hie exchanges' quotations; and
so if a fall of 10 points is brought about
i,y a. speculative raid of bears on tile ex
change, tii- Spinner lin.niedlately wires the
country buyer of the farmer's cotton re
ducing the buyer’s limit 10 points. How
ian it be met? Can it be nut? I answer
unhesitatingly. Yes! The means of correct
ing it nr< within read).
The remiily 1s two-fo'l. The legislative
bine.eh of the government will have to Ihj
Invoked to l>r> ,k down tlie speculative
domination of tlie exchanges. There Is no
hope that th)' sp ■culati ve managers of tlie
i n.'hang' s w ilt ( hange the rules that give
them c ntrol of tin- m arket. The spinners
cannot be > xpeeti <1 to demand any change,
be'iiusi' they think th«!r Interest lies in
buying low', and tlie trend of the ex
changes’ methods has been toward lower
prices for tlie producer. Hence the rem
edy must come from legkslatlon, anil since
th eniatter relates to interstate interests,
it must be reached by national legislation.
In furtherance of this idea. 1 had tho honor
to Introduce on tlie first day of the current
session of congress a bill which if supple
mented by state b-gl.-lation and enforced,
will break the shackles which the cotton
exchanges have fastened upon the hands of
honest producers of cotton and enable these
produei-r.s to protect themselves againt
combinations to control the spot market.
My bill Is now before the committee on
agriculture and is numbered 42H—a copy of
w hich is hen to appended. 1 would be glad
of any s-ugg l stlons or atnendnients that this
body think desirable to compass tlie end in
vi>w. I am not forgetfdl of the. opposition
claim tliat while this legislation would
destioy tlie gambling element in this coun
try, it would not destroy It across the wa
ter, and In fact might give- additional im
petus to it. That may all be true, but my
answer to this objection is that we scotch
tlie snake we can’t kill. If we can’t abol
ish an evil, we will reduce it to a minimum.
When the representatives of the various
cotton exchanges came before tho commit
tee on agriculture in the last congress to
light the Hatch bill then landing, L ques
tioned them as to the total number of
speculative bales of cotton sold on the
exchange tho previous year. The informa-
tion, rathe r unwillingly drawn out, dis
closed operations involving about fifty
million bales of recorded transactions. How
many more were unrecorded, no one could
estimate. The actual cotton produced the
previous year was only about 7,500,000 bales.
If we could only eliminate by legislation
tho forty odd million bales of fictitious cot
ton from the operations, the result would
justify the effort.
Tho way being thus cleared for tho law
of supply and demand to become operative,
some organization among tlie producers of
actual cotton would become necessary for
protection against the buyers of
actual cotton. But what sort of organiza
tion? With the legislation already suggest
ed. any simple organization would be
Kufflcient-and without that legislation I see
ro promise of relief. Det this meeting pro
vide for interstate, state, county and town
ship organization—the township member
ship to include all who can control cotton,
whether farmer or merchant. This should
bring into existence, an organization con
trolling, upon a rough estimate, three and
a half millions bales at least, every mem
ber of which, farmer and local merchant
alike, would bo vitally interested in main
taining prices upon a fair basis.
Such a combination could protect the
producers of actual cotton from any possi
ble combination of spinners In this coun
try and Europe; and so long as its power
was directed for self-protection it would
be a power for good. Os course if that pow
er were abused, the result would be to
stimulate tho permanent Investment of
capital in developing other cotton growing
countries.
But what about the proposed trust? Why
not project an organization on that plan?
In answer to that question I would sug
gest that we have opposed tho principle
of trusts and it would l»> close akin to
self-s'tultifleatlon, if tho cotton growers
should deliberately determine to organize
on that line. Still, assuming it might be
justified upon the idea of fighting the devil
with fire, it is worth white to examine tho
proposition on its merits. Si veral serious
obstacles suggest themselves at the very
outset. In the first place, to be managed
successfully your trust would have to be
managed by some few Individuals with a
cotton exchange expert at th.- head. The
masses of tho farmers are not In shape to
participate in such an organization be
cause it- requires money or free cotton and
even if they got in at the start, it would
only be a very short time before the small
holders would be all frozen out, and a vast
engine In absolute control of a few men,
whoso Interests would He In the direction
of tho present speculative forces. Even if a
stock company should be formed and offi
cers elected in due form, It would be so
vast a power to lodge in tlie hands of a
few men tliat I should hesitate to Impart
It anywhere. Tho oilleers could make mill
ions by manipulating the market, when tlie
company could only pay them hundreds or
thousands. Who would feel safe in the
hands of a speculative expert, in the spec
ulative atmosphere of the cotton exchange,
under such circumstances? This situatjon
reminds me of a ix t b> twei n two parties
anil tho question as to who should hold
the stakes arose. One party suggested that
Jim Jones hold the stakes. “But who will
hold Jim Jones?” ask. d the other party
to tlie bet. And so would I like to know
who will hold tii.' trust if tho farmers
should organize it?
So I como back to my original proposition
—procure legislation that will break the
speculative control of prices; and then es
tablish simple township, county, state and
Interstate organization of those wiio can
control, free of debt. When this body lias
taken the steps necessary for the attain
ment of these ends, it will have done all
It can do.
The organization and proc. • lines of
those who can control twenty or more bales
of cotton must come lat>r, ami must of
course be secret in its meetings it it Is to
accomplish any valaabl.' result.
But let it be borne in mind tliat the full
frt:.;lon of t!..s and ail oi.iaei pi.i.is is
conditioned upon tliat fundamental ques
tion of financial reform.

Destroying Low Grade Cotton.
Editor Const.tution—l have wondered if
there could lie any means adopted where
by the producers of cotton could so organ
ize as to control tlie price. Some sugges
tions at lirst seemed feasible, but utter
reflection objectionable features invariably
presented themselves. But the lust idea
by Mr. T. K Mathers in yesterday's
Constitution, which is to destroy ..11 infe
rior grades by burning it, is the solution
of this vast problem. There s no doybt
in my mind of its being tlie plan to bo
pursued. Now, let any product r or hand
ler of cotton carefully and sincerely consid
er Mr. Mmiiers's explanation of how it s
plan will work and its success will be sat
isfactory. Y. s, 1 say, burn it up and upon
the basis ot tins act.on the market van be

NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE.
Delegation from Atlanta Is Admitted
tc the Convention.
Washington, December 11. (Special.)—The
chamber of commerce delegation was form
ally admitted to the convention of the na
tionia bond of trade today, tho Atlanta
chamber 'it' . ommerce being one of sc v ral
new organlzatii'tis elected to m< tnb rship.
Tlie day was spent in th.- prelimin cry work
of organization and beyond '.hat nothing
was done except the appointment of seme
committees.
The Atlanta and New Orleans delegates
spent their tlmo talking of tho importance
of a national quarantine law. They found
that very little consideration h s bee n given
the matter by the men from northern
cltlos and are necessarily making a cam
paign of education. They are assured ili.it
a committee to consider the question will
be appointed tomorrow and they feel cer
tain Os getting the indorsement of the as
socition to the demand for nation.il quar
antine. The two subjects uppermost In tho
minds of the delegates are the pooling and
the bankruptcy question. Just now every
thing else is made secondary.
Work of the Meeting.
Washington, Decemlx-r 14. -The national
board of trade met here today lor Its twen
ty-eighth annual session, c x-Governor
Stanard.o f St. Ixmls, presiding, in the’ ab
sence of Frederick Fraley, of Philadelphia,
who haa been president of the board since
Its organization in ISfiS.
Thcj executive committee’s annual report
was adopted. On the subject of the cur
rency the report favors the single standard.
A report by Jonathan A. Lane, of Boston,
was adopted which advocates extension of
tlie civil service rules to c-ov. r the consular
Service to the eml of securing practical
business men In the service rather than
purely political appointees. Another Im
portant recomiinendation was that, here
after, Importers be compelled to att'-st their
invoices before a magistrate of the country
from which tlie goods are' shipped in addi
tion to their o.iili before the Unit. 4 Slates
consul. It is alleged that several million
d.i lars is lost to the government annual
ly by undervaluation in goods paying an
ad valorem duty, the oath before a I n ted
State's consul not being binding in the coun
try of export.
A report was adopted from the commit
tee on uniformity of state laws. This espe
cially looks to the unifying of commercial
laws' In the various states. There Is at
present so great a variety among the bank
ing laws and laws relating to commercial
