C., Oct. 81, 1811. Hon. Geo. W. Wlckersham, Attorney General, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: f note that the case against the Wall street “bulls” charg ing them with cornering cotton Is still 1: the courts and assume that you will push the prosecution to a conclusion. While 1 do not concur In tbe opin ion that It was the proper function of the government to Interfere with the enhanced value of a commodity that meant so much for the wealth of this country, I resume that you can justify the prosecution legally. If then the government had a legal right to proceed against a comblna- t on of speculators whose purpose was to force it has the same legal right to proceed against a combination whose purpose is to force down the price of the same commodity. Of the American cotton crop, ap proximately one-half Is sold in for sign markets. A decline of two cents per pound means the loss to this country of 160,000,000 and to the Southern farmer of'$ 1 20,000,000. It is certain that “bear” pressure on Wall street has forced a decline of fully three cents per pound in the present market, thereby robbing the South of approximately 1105,000,000. and giving It to foreign spinners. This decline has been brought about by the bear efement overselling the mar ket, publishing false or misleading statements, and combining to keep buyers out of the market. With no extensive knowledge of exchange methods, I think it Is safe to say that if a combination may advance the market, a combination may like wise depress It, and the fact is, It Is now being done. Then should not the government Interpose? If It was right In the former Instance it Is right In this; and when the wealth of the nation Is threatened and the competency of Southern homes Is being absorbed by tbe foreigners, should not the govern meat at least place the weight of Its iaflueuce and power with its own cit- liens? An investigation of “bear” tactics would probably reveal ample ground for criminal action against the leaders and prosecution would probably dissolve the unfair combi nation and allow cotton to resume Its normal price. At any rate it seems incumbent on the government, in the premises, to throw the weight of Its power with the people. This letter Is not written In any carping spirit, but In the hope that you may see the othef side of the question, as the cotton producer sees it, and use the arm of the law, as far as possible for their relief. I would rather to have an expres sion of opinion from you. as to wheth er such a prosecution would. In your Juigment be entertained by tbe courts, and if It would, what likeli hood there Is, if any, of the depart ment of Justice taking such a step. Living in this section where cotton Is the prevailing crop, It Is a great disappointment to me that the pro ducer should be robbed of his legiti mate profit on that crop. If the gov ernment can extend any aid, It could never come more timely. Respectfully. Wyatt Aiken, M.

He will be turned over to the Greenville authorities when he completes his sentence in North Car olina.

Wyatt Aiken, M. M., Abbeville. South Carolina. My Dear Sir: I have your favor of .31st ultimo. I quite agree with you on the general proposition that, It cornering a product which is dealt In Interstate commerce, for the purpose of increasing its price, is illegal, sim ilar cornering for the purpose of de pressing Its price is likewise illegal. The formation of a corner for the in creasing of the price is easily under stood. A number of men get togeth er and, by their combined means or credit, buy up enough of the commod ity to controll the market, withhold It from sale until the demand for It fprefs. the 4»rice-to the point ut which they are willing to let it go, and thereby Impose upon the manufactm- er, who must use the product, the burden of an artificial price, It Is not so clear by what process a “bear pool” Is organized or conduct ed, and I have no evidence In this de partment of a tangible character which enables me to form the opinion that any designated Individuals have combined to depress tbe price of cot ton below its normal figure. More over, It (• not quite clear in my mind how such a “bear pool” can operate to restrain Interstate commerce. I suppose the method by which such a combination would operate would be to throw upon toe market at a given time a quantity of a commodity in ex cess of the demand which would re sult In its being taken only at prices which the purchasers thought would enable them to sell at a profit. I don’t at all know what the prac tice is among the cotton growers in your State, for instance, respecting the sale of their product. When I last hafoipccaslon to examine the questtonlVhfch was a few years ago, . the crop was-pretty generally sold to the cotton factor* before it wee pick ed, the price being baaed upon the prevailing price of the prwtous and increased or decreased according to the ratio between the crop produc ed in the country the preceeding year, and the estimated crop of the current year. Generally speaking, I take it that the “bulls" and “bears" are the bro kers who, on the cotton exchange, at a given time, are seeking to Increase and depress prices respectively. The “bears“ are trying to beat down the prices In order to buy at a lower fig ure and the "bulls” are trying to run prices up in order to sell at a higher figure. The interests of the spinners would l>e, generally, with the “bears,” and the interests of the factors, or cotton dealers, would be with the “bulls A “bear” mavement would be Initiated if, for example, concerns dealing In cotton had borrowed very largely on a close margin and, for some reason or other, were compelled to sell for the purpose of meeting other loans, and a movement, once begun, toward the lowering of prices, would be apt to gain headway because other peo ple, having cotton on margin, would be fearful of greater loss if they wait ed until the price went lower, and so would rush Into the market determin ed to get rid of their product at a given time. How a “bear pool" would operate, I confess 1 do not quite understand, nor do l know of the existence of any such pool. By pool I mean e group of men who, for the purpos.* of con trolling the price of a commodity, in their own interest, buy a sufficiently large amount of the property to en able them to control the prpe in the market. I write, giving you just my Impressions of the sub'ect, because you may have fuller knowledge than 1. and I should be very glad to have you give me any detailed Information available to you, going to show the existence and operation of any combi nation formed for the purpose of de- trressing the price of cotton. In the proceeding against those en gaged In the so-called “bull cotton pool" which the government brought a year or so ago, the United States circuit court In New York held that “corners’’ were Illegal and immoral, but that a combination formed to corner and enhance the price of cot ton did not operate in restraint of in terstate commerce even though, as was alleged In the Indictment, the necessary effect, as well as the intend ed purpose, of the combination was to increase the price which the spinners had to pay .and, ds a matter of fact, by So increasing the priie a large per centage of the spinners had refrained from manufacture and had thereby been restrained In commerce among the several States. An appeal from the judgment of the court, sustain ing a demurrer to the essential counts of the Indictment, has been argued in the supreme court of the United States and “le now under considera tion. If the court shall decide the essential question involved and not let the ease go off on a technical mat ter of pleading, we may have some light which will, be of aid In the en forcement of the law against other combinations of a like character. But, aside from that, my greatest difficulty I should have in dealing with the case you mention is what I have outlined above. Very respectfully. Geo. W. Wlckersham, Attorney General . The Opinion in Washington is That the Administration Can Console It- • -.^ -rtT' •- self But Little by the Returns from the Late Election Throughout the Country. While both Republicans and Demo- crates in Washington, which Includes a few senators and representatives who happen to be there, ara able to point out plausible grounds of com fort In Tuesday’s election results, all admit that there is In them but slight consolation for the Taft administra tion. Republicans here are felicitating themselves upon the General Assem bly elections In New York and New Jersey, and upon the victory of Golds- borough, Republican, over Gorman, Democrat, in tbe race for governor of Maryland. All this the Democrat's discount by insisting that these par ticular results carry no national sig nificance whatever except a growth in popular revulsion against machine politics. In New York, they assert, there was the oft-recurring revolt against Tammany, which follows as day the night the triumph of that organiza tion; that there was popular objec tion to Tammany seeking political power and controll beyond its ow’i.

In that slat* only. Democrats contend, was then in the tariff Issue a campaign of rea national importance, and natural!) they are highly elated ove” the re turns. Looked at in the presidential pros pert, the election results are ever more interesting i,s affecting the per sonal fortunes of aspirants for the White House. For President Taft the results in 'Massachusetts and in Ohio hold bitter cups to his lips; but there Is nobody to be heard doubt ing that he will be nominated, not withstanding the comment that his long trip through the West and his numerous speeches, wi lely and fully published as they were, have injured, instead of helped him. The La Follette Republicans are unfeignedly pleased with the disatn pointment visited upon the adminis tration and It is not doubted they will redouble their egorts to gain strength in the Republican national conven tion. There is even talk among them of making an organized effort to get delegates for the Wisconsin senator in the Southern .states. As to the Democratic aspirants, it Is generally conceded that if any Democrat has been hurtiby the result is It Woolrow Wilson in New Jersey because of the defeat of certain mem- iters of the legislature for whom he made particularly earnest efforts. If any Democrat has been aided In his aspirations toward the highest honor it is Judson Harmon, it is conceded. The repeated successes of the Ohio Democrats since they chose Harmon for their leader, signalized again by 'he brilliant municipal election vic tories In Cleveland and Ctnclnnatij, were eohlffiori Topics here and It is realized that Harmon stock is bound to grow stronger. Senator Robert L.
