Is there any other class doing business with him not 'soaking him for the limit? Does not the doctor, the lawyer, the banker, the merchant in fact every class make him pay them their pries, and' does he not have to take anything he can get without any say so? If he brings a cow Into town for sale, dots he not get from three cents to five cents per pound and if he wishes to buy a piece of the same beof, does he not have topay from 25 cents to 40 ceuts per pound? If he brings a cow hide he will probably get io cents or a dollar for it, hut if he wants a pair of shoes, will he not have to pay fro.i ?3 Id $15 for them? If he bnaks his wagon and has to have it repaired in town will it not prob ably cost him n cow? Are not ll tools, machinery and his necessi ties on the same basis, nnd is not everything he produces practically carried out in the same manner? Taking Unck Hill for a comparison, cannot a man hire a farmer and his family to work from daylight till dark, and later if necessary, for less money than is paid a hotel waiter, a janitor, a fifteen-year-old clerk, or employee of any descrip tion of a railroad, or any one en gaged tn any other business?

Should not Sell More Titan Is Made For Instance, if 10 million bales of cotton r.re produced in a year, lot''t allow 2C0 million to be gam bled In. If a man has a certificate ty for 3 00 baits of actual cotton, ilow trading in the actual cotton in existence as often as dc-irtd, but to allow this 1J0 bales of pur? imag ination to be gambled it is entirely unfair to the producer and fixed his price? Don't allow anything impos sible to exist, fix the price of any thing actually in existence, simply because lots of people wish to gam ble, and It might interfere with pres ent arrangements. Of course, there are millions invested but there is a lot invested at Monte Carlo and Moirte Carlo doesn't play on the wel taie and almost life of human beings. Confine the trading to actual exis tence and then step, even though some might lose (lie commissions on more than a hund.ed millions bnles of imagination.
