THE WORLD AND COTTON.
John L. McLaurin to York County
; Farraei's.
Yorkville Enquirer.
Addressing a meeting of the farmers
and business men in the courthouse
in Yorkville Wednesday morn
ing under the auspices of the York
County Cotton Association, Former
Warehouse Commissioner John L.
McLaurin of Bennettsville, ?urgetl his
tanner hearers to join the county as_
sociation, declaring that the ".trust'*
principle was a good one and that the
only salvation of the fanners so far
as getting full value for their cotton
was in the organization of an association
sufficiently strong to safeguard
their interests as against the
interests of other organizations. The
meeting in Yorkville Wednesday was
attended by more than one hundred
af the leading fanners and business
men of the county who listened with
great interest to the address of the
speaker. Dr. J. B. Johnson of Rock
Hill, chairman of the York County
Uotton Association presided and in:roduced
the speaker. In appealing to
lis audience to join the association
VIr. McLaurin told them that if they
were not Interested enough in the
ibjects of the association to join the
ocal association then it was not worth
while to do anything for them.
He spoke in part as follows:
There is no product that will be
nore affected by world conditions
trowing out of the war than cotton,
herefore I wish tp call attention to
lome of them before referring to lo:al
matters. The United States has
:ome out of the war, not only the
'ichest nation on earth, but the richest
which has ever existed. The oth.j
rr nations of the#world owe this gov-,
>rnment 15 billions of dollars for,
vhich we hold their bonds. The Eu-j
opean governments in addition to,
his owe vast sums to American cap-1
talists like the loans made by Ameri-i
an banks to England and France beore
our entry into the war. Paris,
^ondon and other European cities
lave sold their bonds or short term
lotes at heavy discounts to investors
.11 over the United States. In addiion
to this we have taken up and
iow own the three billion of dollars
if American securities held by Euope
prior to the war. I imagine
hat all of these items are sufficient
if paid) to cancel the national debt |
if the United States. The bonded in-;
iebtedness of the United States is
ield by the people of the United Staes
""here is no other nation in the world
a this situation and I do not think j
ou can find a parallel for it in all!
listorv. Great Britain comes out of
ne war with the flower of her young
len disabled or dead, and with a j
onded debt which is nearly 50 per.
ent. of her, estimated national!
ealth. France hos lost a generation !
f her young men and is burdened
rith a national debt which is nearly
0 per cent, of the value of all the
ropertv in France. Italy. Germany
nd the other countries of Europe
re in a still worse condition. The i
'ar hardly touched the young manood
of the United States and our ?
ational wealth has enormously
lcreased. If you ask me why the

angel of death passed us by, I woul<
jsay, that it was because God intende(
to preserve our strength that w<
j might use the wealth and manhood o:
I America in rebuilding civilization anc
I redeeming mankind.
The horror and vastage of wai
has taken the heart out of Europe
There is today hardly a stable gov
i eminent in Europe; there is a re
, lapse io-.uciuai ouruarisui in rtussia
In England the life of the govern,
i ment is threatened by the Irish ques:
tion and a huge railroad strike, which
I unless it is checked will bring on a
revolution. You can see how it startj
ed in Russia, Austria, Poland and
| Hungary, The world is struggling to
| get on his fee^t from a monumental
disaser. Europe fs too weak and ex.
hausted to do so without help. The
j eyes of the whole world are turned
| on America. If we fail to meet the
; issue, then just as sure as fate, mankind
will swing back once again into
the dark ages. You need not think
that the Atlantic ocean will protect
us as it did during the war. The
tide will engulf us with the others.
After long suffering and the loss
of all that we hold dear, ariother
generation will finally come out of
this pit of despais to again slowly
and painfully take the ppward path
set for us bv the God Who mad 3 us
free agents, able to choose the path
of life or death.
Peace Treaty.
I have, watched with horror and
disgust the tactics of certain senators
while the world is in agony; unmindful
of anything save partisan po.
litical interest. The delay of the ratification
,6f the peace treaty under
such circumstances is a crime against
the whole human race and an affront
to the Creator of this universe. No
leader of any nation in all history
has ever showed a fuller, firmer or
clearer consciousness of "Political
Idealism" than Woodrow Wilson in
his fourteen points. I go further end
say that no man has ever shown
greater practical wisdom in not refusing
at Paris to take what he could
get, because he could not get all he
wanted. He found that European
statesmen were unable to see except
at close range. They could not suddenly,
view a Christian brotherhood
of nations with the smoke of the battlefields
and the stench of the dead
still poisoning - the atmosphere
Woodrow Wilson stood alone- voicing
for all nations the spiritual aspirations
of common humanity. He was
coldly received in court circles abroad
as he is by the masters in high fi.
nance in this country, who reallly
d0 not want democracy safe in any
country where they rule or make
their money. Those senators who are
now opposing the treaty say by their
acts that they are ready to continue
international anarchy, war and destrustion,
provided they can. secure
political advantage at home. These
men, who insolently call themselves
leaders, try to deceive the public with
vast moral pretensions, when as a
matter of fact they are after electing
one of their number president of the
United States, regardless of larger
consequences.

1 of alarm bells, I am getting to the age
1 when a man becomes a philpsopher.
2 It is my honest opinion that civilizaf
tion itself is on trial. Unless present
1 tendencies are speedily checked distress
and violence will work a havoc
in this world in comparison with
|which the evils of the war (great as
. they were) will be puerile. We can
.) hear of the extermination of ar. entire
rnpe nf nnnnlp in Tnrk-uv and
the wholesale extermination of prop.
! ertv owning and educated classes in
t Russia, with the abolition of prlvL
ate property and the nationalizing of
. woman. It is no ordinary problem
[ which confronts us. It has nothing to
, do with accommodating to a gradu[
ally changing social ar.d? industrial i
status. It does not contemplate
modification of old industrial forms
to changed conditions. It has no concern
with amendments to existing ]
conditions. This European move-!
ment is launching ?tern questions at
the system itself, which constitutes
the present order of society. It is
denying its right to continued existence.
It is in this country. You
have only to read the demand of or.
gatilzed labor as to the railroads. The
demand made recently in the steel
strikes. These strikes will fail because
the people of the United States are
not in sympathy with the movement j
but it still leaves the question unanswered.
All of the actions of men first live
(in the thoughts of their minds or|
; emotions of their hearts. These arei
! the immaterial forces which createl
'revolution. There it stands, grim, me-1
nacing, and terrible and so it will)
| stand until justice be done or a crash i
| comes which will%go echoing down.i
.the ages. The alternative is before.
I this country of industrial reform or',
ruin. If we refuse the one, the other
shall surely compel us. i
The .same fundamental tause that
brought about the war is still in operation;
every government in this
world is specially designed and ad-i
ministered to bring comfort and lux-i
I ury to a class instead of to mankind I
as in whole. The world has tried the!
governing power of evil, it is up to the j
United State3 now trf try goodness asi
a governing force. During the war;
and since the consolidation of man.;
jufacturing and financial interest has!
| been taking place at a rate and on j
a scale never known before.
I Sherman anti-trast law is a dead let- >
iter for the trusts now control all o5;

, of the copper, coal and other min-;
jeral lands together with the means |

and Swift with their associations have
this country by rhe throats. There
was never as much food in the Unit,
ed States as today. It is under the
control of those interests who make
it artificially scarce and constantly
raise the price. I heard a merchant
say a few months ago that he could :

Look at our cotton seed. This
same combination controls the seed
J market and the fertilizer market.
They name the price which you must
pay for fertilizer. There is no competitive
seed market. They fix just one
price and you have got to take it or
let the seed rot. The same combination
through their ownership of
i stock and interlocking directorates
I control every necessity of life. Just
now they are in a great fight with
ongamzea labor ana when that is
[settled, you watch what I tell you, v
I they are going to take charge of the
cotton market just as they have the
seed market. They are now trying to
buy all of the cotton warehouses In . <
the'south. They have been trying to
buy our warehouses in Bennettsville.
If they can do this, and they will do
it, if we sit idle with folded hands,
they can force the price of cotton
down when they please. All that they
have to do is to call the loans made on
cotton at the same time all over the
belt No power on earth could hold up
the price of cotton with .a concerted
movement of that kind. It is their
purpose to destroy a competitive mar.
ket for cotton. They will meet In sec
ret, parcef out the territory, fix the
price of cotton and every buyer will
make you the same price. This means
that we people who grow cotton will
compete with each other in selling it
while there will be no competition
among those who are buyers. This
means that an Individual must go up
single handed against this vast aggre.
gation of political influence, brains
and money. What chance has he got?
None. We are bound to find some
means to act as a unit and the cotton
association is the only opportunity In
sight. Already these great trusts stand
at every cross roads where produce
must pass and levy toll on the fruits
of labor at their own evil pleasure.

develop sufficient political power to
take charge of the state warehouse
system in South Carolina and make it
meet the needs of the people.
*Here Senator McLaurin took up the
question of foreign exchange and i
showed how impossible it was to sell
cotton abroad unless we took foreign
goods in exchange. He showed how
easy it was to sell cotton in Germany
at more than 50 cents per pound and
take potash in payment and this
should all be done through the state
warehouse system. He discussed the
price of cotton and said that it depended
on the farmers acting as a / 1
unit and co-operating all along the
line. He paid a high tribute to Mr.
Wannamaker for the energy and intelligence
with which he was conducting
the campaign ^for the association.
