The raiders have been run to cover. Their rout has been com plete. Cotton has advanced steadily in price ever since the white light of publicity exposed the market manipu lators and exposed their fallacious propaganda. : ; Neither the foresight of a prophet nor the son of a prophet is required to see that cotton farmers will re ceive for this year’s crop a financial return conimensurate with its value if they will but sit steady and demand their rights. The law of supply and denmand entitles .the farmers to re ceive a price apgreximating 25 cents a pomnd or mare fer their staple. The law will werk its inexorable certainty if farmers will bat permit it.

They were not slow to wsize wupen the aetiom of the goverm ment, an ectiom wtterly wseless te their parpose if they eomfined thema selves to the truth. But truth @and market manipulators are strangers. So the manipulators, trué to the traditioms of their busi ness, magnified the news of the cot ton embargo. Instead of affecting a paltry 300,000 bales of the cotton crop, ag was the truth, the manipulators skillfully circulated the report that the embargo would shut off the mar ket for 3,000,800 bales of cotton. & There you have the inside reason for the sudden drop in the price of cotton. The market manipulators de ceived Southern farmers to believe that the United States government, by placing an embargo on cotton, had cut off the demand for 3,000,000 bales. Not alone were the farmers deceived. Other persons, deluded by the skillful Jublicity of the manipulators, believed The Marietta Jonrnal AND The Tri- Weekly Constitution BOTH ONE YEAR FOR the same thing, and they rushed to sell cotton not yet picked. The result was inevitable. The price fell. Cotton was quoted around 25 cents a pound Wwhen the embargo was an nounced. It sold off steadily until it fell below 19 cents a pound. It began to look as if the mgn who raised the cotton were to be compelled to accept even a smaller price for their product, notwithstanding that cotton at 25 centsg per pound-is cheap as compared to the war prices of wool wheat, corn, sugar and other necessities. The public, including the farmers, accepted the statement of the manipu lators that the embargo was responsi ble for the fall in the price. The profiteers waxed tricher and richer at thp expemse of the public’s credulity until it began to losk as if there was mo bettom jm sight for the price at cetten, It was logieal esough for the pabilie to sappese that ecottom was werth much lesg tham it had beaa selling for if the market for 3,660,609 bales was to ke shut off by the gevernnsent embargo. It was lagieal to deduee, this bebag the ease, that thewe weukd be am overpwredactiom, > Semator Hoke Smalth was the first to eall attemthom to the deception ke g praetbsed by the buarket oaami- Intews fo depresms the price of cotbom.

It is gratifyioy to observe that teday, foi lowing the expose inawgurated by Mr, Swnoith, cotton sesin is steadily advan. cing in price.

' Semator Hoke Smith was seen at his home today, and asked for a brief statement about the cottom situ ation, every development of which he has followed closely. He said: ‘“The effort to use the embargo as a means to lower the price of cotton ‘has been exposed ahd broken down. ' “The trade fully understands that during the past three years the world consumption of cotton has exceeded production 2,000,000 bales, and that the demand for our cotton during the coming year will exceed production and supply more than 1,000,000 bales, “Compared with prices at which wheat, wool, corn and other products are selling, 30 cents a pound for cot ton would not be high, “Farmers will sell their cotton this year for over 25 cents a pound if they appreciate the situation and demand the price.” . - T R | : | g : | > i - & -t Top-of f S "' 'ﬁi'u,';' a e Meal ¢ eS [ | IV \ el 7 R — What could be better than a UZIA ,NE cup (or two) of good, old | ol R Luzianne?
