To the Cotton Growers of
Lancaster County.
Some time ago I begged you
to not be fooled out of your cot
ton at 10 cents. Many of our
people grabbed the bait thrown
out and acted foolishly.
The manufacturers are willing
to pay 10 cents and are determined
to get as much of it
as they can. You need not fear
but that you can get 10 cents at
any time; it will not go lower
than that for any length of time.
And I am satisfied if you hold
your cotton you can get much
more than 10 cents. The people
have been so persistently robbed
for the last 40 years, many
feel that they must be robbed a
little more. Assert your man
hood and don't act as poor imbeciles,
allowing your bosses to
i
ututa o nu jryu any lunger.
Hold your cotton.
