The Kvil of Speculation.
The evil of speculation carries fc
its own punishment. Ever since
the cotton market roachod such 1
sensationally high figures last I
jear the south has been crazed ^
by the possibilities of greater t
wealth and those who nevor p ant- V
ed the staple attempted to make
fortunes by dealing with futures. <
Tho south is nuturally "bullish." t
In New Otleans, and in fact iu f
every city in this section, fortunes i
have bien risked, and if tho mar- u
kot had moved upward the farmers \
and the speculators would have
won luarvolcus profits. But it
.1: .1 ?*
uiu uoi move lo svnt the players
and the producers. There is no 1
sympathy for those who gamble, 1
but thero ought to bo sympathy ^
for the groat army of working ,
people from the farm* who have ?
suffered such disastrous reverses
by the sudden fall in prices. The
losses roll up into the hundreds of
millions. A dispatch from Mew
Grleans Saturday night said . nut ,
before the government estimate i
was made public that morning,
scores of women and hundreds of
men surrounded the exchange,
waiting with breathless interest
for the figures. When the tiekot
showed that the crop would bo
orer twelve million bales nearly
all of the women fainted and the
men were startled. They had
been foolish enough to gamble and
they were whipped out in a day.
The conditions might have been
been the same Qelsowhero. It is
a bad, dangerous, reckles s game i
that can bring only ruin in the end '
]
because there is nothing so uncertain
us cotton. It ruined tbo
smart men of Now York who un- 1
derteok to control it, and it will i
1 i
luin all others who arc foolish j t
enough to |?it their judgment t
against the world. They should
let it alone. There is u more t
legitimate way of earning a living (
and the younger people especially (
should be warned against the risk t
whieh attends the placing of ovory t
dollar on the on the ticket [
Moreover,the average man should <
have too much sonse to bo misled
by the reports of fabulous win- <
nings of ordinary plungers, i
These people tell of their good
fortune, but they never montion (
the thousands which were lost.? j
