Mr. Manning came to the city In thc

claret that ss- h's vpv??rtiit !uj<5 u??u

elected the United Stetes government
would come to the immediate relief
of the farmers,, under thc new cur
rency net.' and Would let them have
a sufficient amount of rooney to mar
ket the cotton iof tho south. As I
understand your movement, it ls an
effort, to hold the cotton by , putting
it In warehouses. It seems , to'me,
therefore, that thc two movements'
are in direct conflict.
How CSD yon both hold the cotton
?and market it at thc same time? I
think the proper thing for your as
sociation to do would be to call upon
Senator Smith, and those who were
backing him, to fulfill their campaign
promise*; to lue people of the statt?
and relieve this sistuatlon at once by
raising the price of cotton and by
making proper arrangements to fina.
nee the crop, or to come out and admit
that this argument was used as bun
combe to fool the farmers Into voting
for Smit I said on the stump that this
was the purpose, and it is now shown
to be absolutely true. Senator Smith
has been renominated, the price of
cotton goes lower, and tho farmers re
ceive no relief. ,
