Linco:n, Neb., April S.-'"It is a get
ida. ing together of the aggressive l(
life mets of the party in acti\'e pire)imin
nme ary work for the great bathle of l!bS,"
is the way \V. J. Bryan ('xplained his
'n1( recent activity in conniection with the
one rorganliat ion of th, IDemocrat ic
one
the party. Mr. Bryan returned yes;terday
Ice. from Des Moines, and it was in par
ticular reference to the meeting held
'uc there Saturday night at which he
lili- made the principal address that he
ore spoike. Mr. Bryan explained that the
ber Des Moines meeting, like the one held
at Topeka late in February, was to
the further a movement for the organiza
rt., tion of Democratic clubs and thereby
are place the machinery of the party in
not the hands of those who meant it well.
"I know,' he said, "the same plan
has been adopted as in Kansas," with
both of which he is in hearty sym
pathy.
ten
"Reorganization," saidl Mr. Bryan,
Dar "is hardly the way to express it, be
cause the party does not need reor
est ganization. There is no factional divi
ed sion calling for separate efforts, but
er, the movement is to get back to the'
art people, to put the radical and pro
gressive element in more complete
m- control that there may be united, har
is monious effort for the compaign of
al- 1908. The purpose is to begin at the
ed bottom, letting the rank and file have
a voice in the national convention
by writing the platform at home for
en the national convention to ratify."
'o, Mr. Bryan said he was not trying
'S' to hold a faction or to change the or
SO ganization further than that he want
ed the progressive men of the party
a- to take the lead. The conservative,,
, he said, had dominated the last na
al tional convention, and the party had
es met with defeat. lie believed the
n. rank and file of the voters was for
progression and radicalism, if need
2o be. Mr Bryan continued:
f'ý "The work should begin at the pri
id maries, and every Democrat should
s vote. It remains with the rank and
it. file of the Democratic party to say
,d what the party's course shall be. No
li- one will for a moment doubt the
n. course, which will be adopted by
. the rank and file of the ',arty if they
te avail themselves of the duty to reg
ister their preference at tile prima
ries. But a systematic effort will be
necessary in order that Democrats
may be impressed with the import.
n ance of participating in their party's
councils. The enemies of good gov.
ernmcnt, the beneficiaries of class
legislation act as one man with unlim- I
- ited means at their disposal. The \
g people have only their votes, andt
d they must cast tfiem together or suf- t
for defeat. Democrats, who believe
Stheir party should be a party of the
r people, have it in their power through
systematic organization to so shape
1- their party's politics and govern its t
n environments for the campaign that r
r-it will command the support of all
e men who have grown weary of the e
*t exactions made because of special In- n
n terests." P
e Mr. Bryan in conclusion quoted his n
announcement of several weeks agor
tfor the organization of the party, say.
ing the plan does not rest upon the '
paramount importance of any one is
Ssue, but it recognizes the right of the
Democratic votes to control the pol
icy of the party and to dlemand its po
sition upon public questions. hi

e SOUTHERN COTTON ASSOCIATION
0 E. S. Peters, Vice President, Calvert,
Texas.-The Object of the Associa
ir tion, by Harvey Jordan, President.
Ii Reduction of acreage and a. better
.r system of marketing the cotton crop
is the solution to the business prob
hl(m of the South, offered to the cot
lo ton growers. The one is for the pur
.. pose of disposing of a two million
bale surplus and the other to relieve
a condition which compels the pro
;t ducer to become the victim of over
It producmtion.
He declared that east of the iiis
lesissillppi, organization of the cotton
l- farmers for the purpose of reducing
u- acreage had been perfected and the
1a purpose of his visit here was to per- I
feet the organization in Texas, with
Iout whom the other States would be
f unable to accomplli..h anything. After
- 'stating that the primitive system oft
marketing used in Texas was very
bad, he advocated the establishment
Iof bonded warehouses, stating that
as far west as Middle Alabama this '
Seustom obtained, and as a consequence (
farmes were getting $5 more perl,
e bale for their cotton than farmers in
h Texas.
Do you know that there are only i
I four competitors to American cotton,
t and none of these can compete with i
t it in the market as long as our Amer- ýt
ican cotton is no higher than 14c per
pound. Until the price reaches that
we have an absolute monopoly of
} the fabric that goes into the cloth
that makes the world supply, and we
are only getting half what it is worth
if it were in open comlpetition with
i other materials.
r The fact is, that the only competi
for American cotton has is Amercan n
cotton, and that condition is brought r
t about by raising more than is needed. 2
r Last year we raised 2.000,000 bales I
more than the world could consume
and we brought the price down below I1
the cost of production. This surplus c
is still upon us, and, as we are re- F
snonsible for it, it is our duty to get I
Srid of it. If you put it in the hands of "
r'other people they can use it against r
you. Keen it yourself and create a P
demand for it by falling short of the n
world's consumption.
NO MARKETING SYSTEM.
Another reason for poor prices is p
that we have absolutely no system it
for marketing our cotton. We fol-it]
low the old primitive methods that sl
were in use before the war. That is,
we simply let the people who live h
3,000 miles from our shores put their 't
own price on our stable. The reason ti
they can do this is that you put an i
enormous oversupply on the market 3
within a short time. The price of a
cotton is regulated by speculation and si
not by the legitimate means of trade a
based on supply and demand.
We want to meet this emergency
that confronts us. We want to re- b
duce production. We can go into ti
1905 and raise 9.000.(00 bales, which,
with the 2,000,000 surplus we have on
hand, will give just about what the
world wants. ;ce
It is a deplorable trust that we :If
have to develop our wealth out of the cr
raw product. We are an agricultural it.
country and not a country of factories Ct
and business aci'men. ith
Cotton is the product that has sup- in
norted the I'nited States' foreign 12
trade. Last year we exported $1,000,- w
000 worth of stuff for every (lay in the
year and it was dee to cotton. Cot- m
ton is the only thing that nrevented co
a financial depression in New York le;
twelve months ago. If it were not W
for the cotton she exports the U'nited yc
States would be in the Nations list 00
)N of delt'ors instead of creditors.
In the next two months it will he
;rt, determined whether the wave of
;ia- prosperity .that has passed over the
country shall continue or whe ther the
South will he facing financial disaster
er inside of eight months.
op
Sb- 511LL I) CONT11OL t i( E.
Ot- Up to the present time every at
ir- tempt to produce cotton anywhere
Selse has been a failure. We have the
VC only country that will product' it, and
O- there is no reason why we should not
r* control it and fix the prices.
But you can't handle the cotton
i- crop as it is being handllcd in the
X1 South now. You should not turn it
g over to the street hbuyers-that is not
he business. You are payirn the sala
ries of these men yourself. This sys
h tenm is costing you millions of dollars
be every year that ought to go.in 'your
Ir pockets. Eviry cent that it .c~ots to 1
of get your cotton o marke is charg: 1
against your cotton anid you pI:y the {
It Ireight.
t \Why, the cotton mill people are In
s this movement. They want to see
e cotton at a staple price. They are
r not only talking, but they have put
n money in it. Not only the cotton
mills, but the hankers and the cities
Y and the cotton factors and the mer
chants and all classes of business men
h in the South are getting interested in
r- the proposition.
The Southern Cotton Association
t is not a class proposition. It is big
enough to take every man in who
wants to help us win this fight. There
e is no conflict between us in any line
11 of business in the South and there I
never will he. c
i. The cotton company is the result
n of the New Orleans convention. W\e
t Irealized that we had this surplus of I
1. 2,.00000o bales and that the Southern r
s people should take care of it, and b
e I that to do so it would have tt be
held. Our plan is to get up a stock b
s company of $gl.eo00,000. But we are 3
going to wait until May l before i,
t begin this. We can't tell until then
,f whether the acreage is going to be
t reduced, and unless it is reduced we o
a won't ask you to hold a bale five a
e minutes. s
Another solution of the cotton ti
problem is to get broader markets for r
our cotton. There are 500,000.000
S people in Asia who ought to be wear
1 ing our cotton on their barks. Get
the world to consuming 25,000.0f0 in
t stead of l .00l.O)00 bales.
' The farmer who ldosn't reduce t,
e his acreage is an enemy to his coun- eC
rtry as well as to himself. I think that tt
this is one time the American farmer rT
F is going to live up to what he says. fr
tThey are going to reduce their acre- tl
age. They have held their cotton
since December 3. and the value of the
tsurplus they have held has increased
$25,Oo.0,O00. This fact has not only
s:trprised the buyers and speculators, e`
but it has received their commenda.- "c
tion. bE
IIow TO CT 10. I th
If we make but 9.00.Ou00 bales of co
cotton this year we can sell it for ,ec. I m
If we make another 13,000,00-bale
crop we can not get more than 5c for
it. It ought to be higher than lc.
Consul Smyth in England writes that er
the Lancashire spinners are organiz
ing to keep American cotton within I
12c per pound. They are afraid it ex
will go to 15c.
There never has been such a de- a
mand for cotton goods. Hold your I
cotton, reduce your acreage and va
learn how to market your product.
When you do learn how to market it
you will make a net profit of $200,.
000,000.
Al
I want the business men and mer
chants to come into this movement.
t We can't antagonize the business in
terests of the country and hope to
1 succeed. We must combine them
and then fight for a common cause
I and a common purpose. The busi
: ness of the South would not be much
I without the cotton crop.
We have the farmers east of the
river agreeing to reduce their acre
age, and there is but one thing left
that is Texas. She holds the balance
of power, and it makes no difference
what we do on the other side of tne
river, the price will be regulated by
how the Texas farmer sells his prod
uct.
