WATSON’S GREAT
SPEECH.
THE GEORGIA ORATOR RECEIVED A
GENUINE OVATION.
He Told a Few Facts Which Justified
the Southern Farmers in Form
ing a Trust.
The Leader is glad to be able to
print below the greatest speech
delivered before the Cotton Plan
ters’ Convention in New Orleans,
made by the celebrated Thos. E.
Wacson. It is the only address
that seems to have made any de
cided impression on the conven
tion.
Referring to the delivery of
this speech and its effect upon the
delegates, the Times-Democrat
says:
“The ease of the speaker, his
clear sighted statements of his po
sition upon the issues under dis
cussion and the brilliancy of his
power of oratory gradually work
ed his audience to the stage of en
thusiasm where hats fly on the air
and yells supplant shouts. The
ovation accorded the speaker af
ter he completed his address bor
dered closely on pandemonium.
Those upon the platform flocked
about him and others jumped up
on the stage to grasp his hand.
Not content to see him from the
stage, he was dragged from the
platform and compelled to mean
der through the hall and receive
the homage of the different dele
gations, while cheer upon cheer
was given in his hopor.”
Mr. Watson’s Address.
"I beg leave, fellow members of
the convention, to call your atten
tion to some preliminary facts be
fore going furthei into an argu
ment about our condition. The!
first that I beg to call your atten- j
tion to is the fact that three years |
ago there was an overproduction
of coffee. The usual world’s con
sumption of coffee is 16,000,000'
bags, and three years ago there
was an overproduction of 14,300,
000 bags. Coffee is controlled by
a trust. They absolutely fix the
price, just as the Standard Oil
Company fixes the price of oil.
What has been the result? With
almost twice as much coffee for
years, as the world was able to
buy, tbe price of coffee has not
declined, but has steadily advanc
ed during that time. (Applause.)
“What has become-of the 14,
000,000 bags surplus? The coffee
trust retiied it three years ago
from the market, and it’s still re
tired from the market. They
were able to do it from their
standpoint. There was necessity
for doing it, they did it, aDd what
has been the result? They not
only kept up the price of coffee to
its former standard, but during
the three years in which they had
advanced it, and in the following
years in which they will still ad
vance it, they will compel the us
ers of coffee to pay, in that addi
tional price, every dollar that that
surplus coffee is worth. (Ap
plause.)
“That’s one fact. Another to
which I call your attention. It is
this: That a few years ago, just
preceding the jute bagging fight,
there was a corner on cotton in
New York, a full supply . across
tfie water. The bulls having en
tirely the advantage of the bears,
it was impossible for the bears in
this country to deliver spot cot
ton, and they were up against the
necessity of delivering, not ficti
tious cotton, but spot cotton.
UT 1 i i I i I I
In order to get what they had
to have under their contracts , to
save themselves from bankruptcy,
the wires carried the 'message to
Liverpool and the ships brought
the cotton back to New York, and
it was that spot cotton brought in
under free trade that saved the
.. shorts, saved the bears from the
merciless grasp of the bulls, thus
putting down the price of cotton
to where the short speculator
could settle with safety to himself.
(Applause.)
“And I call your attention to;
another fact. For 100 years the
strong arms of the United States
government have been thrown
around, not the farmer who made
the cotton, but the manufacturer
who worked it up into cotton
goods. For 100 years.the manu
facturer has been protected against
the foreigner in order that the
home people might be benefited
in the long run, and the result of
the long run is that tonight, the
Chinese, almost any foreigner,
can buy cotton goods cheaper on
their own market than we can buy
them here at borne. (Applause.)
“I call your attention to anoth
er fact.
Advice to Plant.
“Just after the bubble burst,
last spring, the seventeen-cent
cotton went 4°wn, there was an
organized, preconcerted and sys
tematic effort made to increase the
output of cotton and to reduce its
price. All over the South advice
was given the farmers to plant for
12,000,000 bales, and we were as
sured that if we did it we would
get twelve cents a pound for it.
As soon as the crop was planted,
publication was made to the world
that we had increased our acreage
33 1-3 per cent.
‘ ‘What was the origin of that
combination? I have no doubt in
my mind that it originated among
the * manufacturers who did not
wish to pay seventeen cents for
cotton. I do not blame them for
it. I do not blame them for
thinking that seventeen cents was
too much for cotton, but I call
your attention to this fact, that
having set the ball in motion, it
escaped their control and they
have now got caught in the same
trap that they set for us.
“What a singular situation is
ours, my brethren. The world
has never seen one^similar to it.
Famine has its millions of victims
in India because the drops have
failed. We sent the offering of
our charity to Russia years ago
because her crops had failed.
Tonight in Ireland starvation
clamors for its victims throughout
the length and breadth of that
afflicted country, and it is because
they didn’t make a crop. Here
we are threatened with bankrupt
cy and threatened with commer
cial ruin because we did make the
crop. (Great applause.)
“It’s a curious state of affairs.
I starve to death, not because I
have no crust to eat, but because
the table is bountifully spread.
If we make no crop it’s ruin, and
if we make one it’s ruin, too. It’s
the old predestination cry: You
can and you can’t, you will and
you won’t; you’re damned if you
do, and you’re damned if you
don’t. (Great applause.)
“To the man who hungers, the
meat trust says: Pay my price
or starve. To the men who shiv
er in the wintry blasts of the
North tonight, the Coal Trust
says: Pay my price or freeze.
To the producer of corn and wheat
on the Western rich lands, mar
velous gardens of fertility, no
matter what the fieight rate is,
the Traffic Association Twist says
to the farmer: Pay my* price or
let youi corn and wheat rot in the
fields that produce it. (Applause,)
“We market our cotton without
any system whatever. The man
who can get there first sells first,
and it’s a mad rush to get there
with cart and wagon and sell it
for whatever you can get. The
laws of our country are unjust to
us, and have been for a hundred
years. (Applause.)
“I do not avdise the farmers of
the South to organize a piratical
trust—a predatory combination—
but I do say this: That while the
trusts are the devils of modeih
commerce, we have got to fight
the devil with fire. (Great ap
plause.) If we do not organize
ourselves into a self defense trust
to protect ourselves, to exact a
fair return for our labor and our
investments, then we are less than
men, because we have failed to as
sert our manhood in defense of
ourmanhood’s lights. (Applause.)
Fanner and Favors.
• “Where has th^ farmer ever
asked any favor of this govern
ment? Where has he asked for
any special protection? Never
has he demanded anything except
a fiee field and a fair fight. (Ap
plause.) Never has he expected
to get anything except what he
earns in the sweat of his face.
And tonight, tonight, our unjust
laws which destroy our markets,
deliver us ,over to those who are
antagonistic to us in self-interest.
“From our socks to our hats;
from the undershirt to the over
coat, its cotton. With the female
members of our families its al
most entirely true that their cloth
jng is made up of cotton. Our
bedding, tablewear and many of
the things used on a farm, to say
nothing of ropes and plow lines
and back bands; to say nothing
of the bunting in the flag or the
cheap carpet on the floor.
"Cotton, cotton, extends its em
pire of usefulness everywhere, un
til now, it is almost taking the
place of wool. On the other hand,
it has well nigh taken the place of
silk, and, therefore, in the natu
ral increase., of population and in
the natural increase in the useful
ness of cotton, it has, like every
other commodity, had to join the
great advance which industry is
that every man, every woman and
every child could be content, in
all the uses of cotton, with $10
apiece, and put it on the same ba
sis, ten-cent cottpn bringing $50 a
bale, and you have a legitirpate
demand in America alone, for six
teen million bales of cotton. (Ap
plause.)
“Therefore, what you want
more than any other thing is to
increase the demand for cotton,
the market for cotton and the uses
of cotton, and I say, and can main
tain, that our own laws, our own
government, by discrimination
against us, lias destroyed our
market and haVe concentrated our
wealth until the masses of the peo
ple who need what we have got,
can’t get it because they haven’t
the money to buy it with.
“Let us rise to the high respon
sibility of this situation, and ask
again: What must we do to be
saved? First of all, we must re
move from the market, as the
coffee trust did, the overproduc
tion of cotton, and limit the out
put to what the world is now able
to buy. (Great applause.)
“1 stand ready, and my people
stand ready, to march with you
on any plan of action which pro
poses to retire from the market,
either temporarily or permanent
ly, what is supposed to be that
surplus which destroys the mark
et value of all of it.
“Then, again, you want to
work with might and main, year
in and year out, to broaden the
maraet and enlarge the demand
until the world is able to buy as
much as it legitimately needs of
your product. (Applause.)
Your Duty is Plain.
“We have got to know no Re
publicans, no Democrats, no
Populists. We have got to know
only the Southern man who will
take his stand by other Southern
men, (Tremendous applause.) As
to the present time, your duty is
plain. It is to stand pat. Stand
pat. (Cries of “That’s right,”
and applause). Let the other fel
low play. (Laughter and ap
plause.) Let the other fellow
play, but you stand put.
“They tell you that millions of
bales of cotton are being sold on
Wall street. Not a word of it’s
true. They are selling hot air.
(Applause.) They are selling
what Mr. Hatch of Missouri, used
to can wind, when 1 was proud to
help him pass the Dingley law to
put down future gambling, a law
which the lower house passed and
which our House of Lords killed.
They are not selling cotton, they
are selling futures, and futures
can’t always rule.
“Spot cotton is king and always
will be king if we will be true to
it. (Great applause.) The mills
cannot run on cotton futures. (A
voice: ‘No you bet they can’t’).
The railroads can’t get rich on
cotton futures. • (Great applause).
The fertilizer companies won’t
get fat on cotton futures. The
gambling contracts made on Wall
street itself, can’t always be set
tled by other contracts. Sooner
or later, they have got to have
spot cotton.
“Cotton futures have usurped
the kingly robes, has put on the
royal red and is wielding now a
new scepter for the tyrant. Let’s
expel him. Let’s run him out.
Let’s be true to the South, and of
necessity prosperity will follow.
“What is Wall street doing?
Is it simply betting? Betting that
you will sell your cotton in April,
May, June and July at six and a
fraction. For them to win the
game you have got to do it, for
if you don’t do it, they lose the
game and you win it.
“I don’t tell you it will be an
easy fight or a short campaign. I
tell you it will be a hard fight and
a long campaign, because you are
overcoming the inertia of a hun
dred years, but it’s a fight that

• "When this convention sepa
rates into its State and county
delegations, we will go back to
our homes like the Scottish chiefs
went to the village fastness, and
the clans will rally to us,”
Preserve the Home.
The other day the president ad
dressed a church society and’ he
said some things that will bear
repetition. Among other things
he said:
“If the average husband and
wife fulfilled their duties toward
ofie another and toward their chil
dren as Christianity teaches, then
we may rest assured that the oth
er problems will solve themselves.
But if we have solved every oth
er problem in the wisest possible
way it shall profit us nothing if
we have lost our own national
soul; and we will have lost it if
we do not have the question uf the
relations of the family put upon
the proper basis.
“While I do not know exactly
what it is that you wish me to do
I can say in advance that so far as
in me lies, all will be done to co
operate with you toward the encl
you have in view. One of the
most unpleasant and dangerous
features of our American life, is
the diminishing birth rate, and
the loosening of the marital ties
among the old native American
families. It goes without saying,
that for the race, as for the indi
vidual, no material prosperity, no
business growth, no artistic or
scientific development will count
if the race commits suicide.
Therefore, bishop, I count myself
fortunate in having the chance to
work with you in this matter of
vital importance to the national
welfare.”
Not long ago a well known pub
licits, in speaking of the question
of home life in America, said that
the home was rapidly disappear
ing in the great cities of the unit
ed States. The flat buildings and
the great apartment hotels have
done a great deal, to destroy the
American home. People to the
number of a thousand or more are
housed under one roof. The men
are away all day chasing after
dollars, while the women are left
to their own resources. Those
who have paid any attention to
the trend of events are confident
that the apartment hotels and the
flats have done more to increase
the divorce evil than almost any
thing else in this country. It is
time for the church people to be
giving some attention to this
phase of our national life. It is
worthy of our deepest thought
and concern. During the past
twenty years the number of di
vorces granted to people in this
country has increased four or five
times faster than the increase in
the population, which, to say the
least, is a very alarming state of
affairs. There must be an arous
ing and quickening of public sen
timent somewhere along the line
if things are to grow better in
stead of worse.—Jackson Evening
News.

Death of Judge L W. Cabaniss.
Judge E. W. Cabaniss, post
master at Clinton, and one of the
old and honored citizens of that
place, died last week. Judge
Cabaniss was greatly admired and
loved by a large and ever-growing
circle. About every boy and
young man who has attended Mis
sissippi College for the last 30
years, became his personal friend
and held him in the highest re
spect and esteem. He was one of
the “tall men” of the Clinton
community in more ways than
one. He served as Chancellor of
the Hinds county district back in
the stormy and troublous political
times of Nthe early seventies, by
appointment of Cov. Alcorn, and
then and on down through the
years since, he made the record of
a patriot and high-minded gentle
man. Now, dull of years and full
of honors, such as modest worth
always brings, he has fallen a
sieep.
Many old Mississippi College
boys, scattered throughout this
and other States, who knew him
well in the years now gone, will
drop a tear of regret and would
fain spread the choicest flowers
upon the little mound of earth
which .now covers his pulseless
clay.
Madison's Circuit Court Breaks
the Record.
According to the Clarion-Led
ger, the January term of the Mad
ison county circuit court made
an unusual record. The grand
jury returned twenty-seven in
dictments, some of which were
continued to the next term. Dis
trict Attorney J. B. Greaves
makes the statement that not a
single case that went to the jury
returned with a verdict of not
guilcy. J. W. Walton and Rob
ert Jones were each convicted of
murder, and sentenced to be hang
ed in March. George Thompson,
manslaughter, five years in the
penitentiary; Henry Walton, lar
ceny, two years; Thomas John
son, larceny, eighteen months;
Will Conn, robbery, one year;
Alonzo Williams, assault ana bat
tery with intent to kill, one year;
William James, false pretense,
one year: Ed McGregor, forgery,
six months, and Phil Brown, Wil
liam Andeison and Joe Goodlaw,
each convicted of petit larceny,
thirty days in the county jail.
Copiah county merchants and
bankers were conspicuous bv
their absence at the mass meeting
last Saturday to select delegates
to the cotton convention. Many
of the farmers were disappointed
at their absence and commented
on the indifference shown by not
attending. “Didn’t have the
time,” is the excuse given by
some for not attending.—Hazle

The Pardoning Power.
In granting McCue, of Char
lottesville, Va., under sentence
of death for killing his wife, a re
spite in order that a writ of er
ror might be presentd the su
preme court, Governor Montague
made the following notation of
the respite:
“The guilt or innocence of
those charged with crime is to be
determined by the judicial tribu
nals. The executive should aid
and not arrest the judgments of
courts or the executions of law,
save for supreme reasons, For
the executive to review the opin
ions of courts or the verdicts of
juries, no matter how tie disagrees
with them, would be plain usurpa
tion of authority. But the su
Sreme court of .appeals has this
ay been petitioned'for a rehear
ing of the application for a writ
of ferror, and the executive has!
since been requested by this em
inent tribunal to grant a respite
of the death sentence that suffi
cient time may be had for such
further consideration of the case
as justice and law may require.
In granting this request the ex
ecutive is aiding and not obstruct
ing the administration of the law,
and he, therefore, will direct a
respite until Friday, the 10th day
of February, 1905.”
*T»« _ _ 1_ ___!kK
Tbe above words are sensible
and timely, and to tbe point. Too
often we see a man condemned
for murder of his fellow man fight
with his might and main in the
lower and higher courts for his
life. He is convicted after a re
versal of his case by the supreme
court and the higher tribunal final
ly says that he is guilty and must
hang. Then his sentimental
friends get busy bombarding the
chief executive with petition ask
ing for his commutation of sen
tence! They bring all sorts of
pressure to bear on the chief ex
ecutive, political, social and oth
erwise and he yields and 'over
rides the verdicts of the courts
and sends the man to the peniten
tiary for life. He remains- there
a few years and is then pardoned
out. In this country we too often
forget the &an who is murdered
and his family and think only of
the condemned murderer. It is a
pretty safe proposition to say
that after a man has been convict
ed by a jury and the case has run
the gauntlet of the supreme court,
where the judge and the criminal
both are tried,- and he is found
guilty, that the law should be al
lowed to take its course. A few
more hangings of bad white men
in this section would give us a
much healthier respect for the
law.—Jackson Evening News.
The Aberdeen Side-Walk Plan.
We learn from the Greenwood
Enterprise that Mayor Vardaman
of that progressive city is urging
the adoption of the Aberdeen plan
for constructing new side-walks in
that city—that is, for the corpo
ration to undertake the construc
tion of the entire system and re
imburse itself by collections from
the property holders, at tax-pay
ing times, in five annual install
ments, without interest. Aber
deenians completed the payments
on her extensive side-walk system
last month, and they were easily
and clieerfully met, and many
towns and cities in this and neigh
boring States have followed her
example, thus easily solving one
of the most troublesome of munic
ipal problems.—Aberdeen Exam

TO OLD CONFEDERATES AND THEIR

A Chance to Hear Dr. J. William Jones
it Noted Veteran.
The editor of The Leader has
received the following personal
letter from Pres. B. G. Lowrey,
of Blue. Mountain College, which
he publishes in full, because it
treats of a matter of much pub
lic interest:
Blue Mountain, Miss.,
Feb. 1, 1905.
Dear Brother: 4 believe that
“The Boys in Gray” put up the
best fight the world ever saw, and
I want my'children and my neigh
bor’s children to know it. 1 be

E. Lee said, “Thejr could not
have done otherwise without dis
honor;” and I want that doctrine
taught to the younger people of
the South, for this reason, I am
arranging again for Dr. J. W.
Jones to give some lectures in
Mississippi. Dr. Jones is the
Chaplain General of the United
Confederate Veterans, and man
ager of the Confederate Memorial
fund. All be makes lecturing
goes to that fund. He will come
to Mississippi about the middle of
March. His price for a lecture is
$40. It seems tto me that any
town in Mississippi ought to be
willing to give $40 to help this
cause and bring such an opportu
nity to its young people. If it
cannot be done otherwise, four
citizens ought to be found to gi\e
$10 a piece or eight citizens to
give $5 a piece and make the lec
ture free to all.
Will you not take the matter
up and write me soon?
Dr. Jones was a chaplain in
Lee’s army, lived a neighbor to
him after the war, visited him in
his last sickness and sat by his
corpse. So far as J know, he is
the only man who went through
that great struggle so nearly hand
to hand and heart to heart with
Lee and Jackson and is now on
the platform telling our people
about the great men and events
that he saw and knew. While the
Lord yet spares him, let us give
Mississippi boys and girls a
chance to hear him.
Yours as always,
B. G. LOWREY.
All Ex-Confederates of Brook
haven and vicinity, who would
like to have Dr. Jones to come to
Brookhaven during the early
spring and will exert their in
fluence in getting him a good au
dience, are requested to report to
Dr. R. R. Applewhite, Dr. J. B.
Daughtry, Z. T. Hoskins or the
editor of The Leader.
