We have in jn mind no reason that would prevent the cotton spinners from organizing a great trust to control the cotton and spinning business of the \? trld in the sanu wav that Mr 11 >okcfcl|er\s trust controls 1* oil.

Ar argument, "and the men who buy 't,!l1 and sell have never seen a bale in?M tec of cotton, is added. \\ hile professing to very well defined views on the "Hatch hill'' and this sub- TT ject generally, we have been dis- L posed to think that the system of a speculation in contracts could in the long run have no great effect one way or another upon prices. Hut suppose it has, what effect would it have upon the operations of a cotton mill trust formed to regulate the price of cotton and ^ destroy competiun among buyers? ^ If the trust could go into the market and pnrehaso the entire crop, it is obvious that the trust could tix the price. Hut if it is true that the price is fixed by the cotton speculators "who buy and sell eighty million bales every year," and who have no more in- 0 terest in cotton spinnors than in the cotton growers, it appears to j us that these much abusod people are the best protection the cotton farmers can have. All of this is based upon the. assumption that the contention of j the politicians that speculation in futures tixes or materially effects ' tlu> ni'ii-n iu in,iirw 1 ?.k!nl> I .o m/uini) ?> II M il 1?* ? onlv an assumption.?Greenville News. ?
