r SEES HOPE ONLY I la the Success of the Insurgent Republicans Who Are the SOLE LUMP OF LEAVEN According to .Tats. It. (JaificM, Former Secretary of the Interior, Who Avows Himself a Member of That Wine of tilt* Republican 1'arty, Which He Praises Highly. James R. Oarfleld. former secretary of the interior, in a speech delivered Monday night to tl>e newly formed Progressive Republican organization of Cleveland set forth the platform upon which the insurgent element of the Republican party will enter the fall campaign >n Ohio. Mr. Garfield announced his acceptance of the appellation of "insurgent." Mr Garfield declared that the nation stood today in a critical situation so that confronting the country was the problem whether the light of lue progressive was to tie carried tu a successful issue or whether they were to surrender and admit that government for and by the people was a failure. He said in part: I.ike the prodigal youth, we as a ration, have wasted our resources, sold our inheritance, acquired evil tmbits, but, fortunately, we have resll?*.a U a ? - ' oH.m ni?- in-vi ui ramcai cnani;('? 111 tiuie to save ourselves. "M the coming election we are to choose between two great national parties. The Democratic party, while declaiming against special interest tins, wheit in power allied itself with siHtcial interests. Many of its leaders have been an.I are the recognized leprosonl.U]ve*? of special interests, lu our state the Democratic governor failed to t?e on the people's side in the fight for phhlic utilities and Die Democratic senators defeated that measure. In the recent Democratic convention the 'progressive' IK-inocrats wer? ignored. 1 can see no hope for belter tilings from De notiae.y as now conducted. "How is it with the Republican party? It likewise has among its leaders some who are allied with, or represent special Interest; but. on bhe other hand it lias progressive, aggressive tenders who are the t>eopte's representatives. "The country owes a dctit of gratitude to the insurgents in Congress who made the light against the domination of special interest and i who placed the common good high i above party regulation. < "'The real friends of conservation . relied upon insurgents and their < imuh<twiu- niim-s lor hip prolei'Coii of the public domain agaicnt Uie as- ; n,tolls of special interests. I Insurgent senators prevented i (he passage of (tie Alaska hill which t In its original form, might have giv- ' on over the untold wealth of Alaska \ to a favored few. I Dealing in a general way with I lie : \;i*tUcMial piohleins and continued < hiH eulogy of the insurgents, Mr. Garfield took up special stale proh- i teias. The recall, regulation of cor- I (orations, woknieti compensation i ad. tlie strengthening of child la- i terr I aws and the development of a I < caual syHteni were the principal ' planks in the p' ltfonn which he put * forward. i In regard to the recall, Mr. Garhetd said: "There is one method of dealing with public service which demands , our most earnest consideration, namely, the recall. 1 believe it to t?e the most direct, most efficient way which people have of dealing with the uiitfaithful servant. It is raid that the recall makes cowards of public men. I ask whether it is any more injurious to the public welfare to have an officer afraid of the people than to have a nubile otfi cef the servant of a special interest" Mr. OarfiHtl concluded his general defense of the Republican parly with a warning against the reactionary. "The real danger to the party,' ho said, "comes from the reaetiona?y who is controlled by special inc.vihc it in the easiest way, is willing to return to the weak policy of Kaisscz Waive. To follow such leaders means disaster. Negro Killed by Traill.

Mere are some of the issues of the coming campaign as outlined by Senator Overman of North Carolina: Down with Connonism! Down with plutocracy!

The rights of the states shall not l?e impaired. The people shall rule. Kn force the laws against the unlawful trusts. If it is right to indict the hulls, who keep up the price of cotton, indict the .hears, whose husiness it is its representatives of Knglisli manufacturers to keep the price down as low as possible. The republican party. Senator <>berman declared, would 30 into the campaign not only badly discredited, but badly divided. A revolution of great import, he said, was going on in its strongholds. The administration's record was attacked by the senator, who declared it had been one of had faith, broken promises and higher tariff. The Payne-Aldrich law he referred to as "the most iniquitous ever known ui the world's history." declaring the public had been "buncoed" by an upward revision. Any dissension in the ranks of democracy the senator minimized, declaring that the Democrats might differ 011 maters of detail or merely moral policies, hut they were shoulder to shoulder on the fundamental prim-pies of the party.

Interesting facts for the farmers are contained in a bulletin lately lsj sued by the Census Bureau on the . value of the cotton crop of the past . year together with other valuable in. formation in connection with the , season's production. I T.he estimated value of the crop of the year reached the sum of $S 12.089.000 as compared with $681,230*000 for the preceding year This difference in valuation was due j to the higher prices at which cotton was sold and not to larger production. The value increased 18.2 per cent. wJhile the product, expressed in bales declined 21.1 per cent. Cotton, valuable as it was to the Southern planter, was worth only I about half as much as the corn rrnn It was worth about J 100,000.000 morn than the wheat crop, and sc me $400,000,000 more than the production of oats, leaving corn king among agricultural products for the year. Speaking of the value of the crop to the individual, the bulletin says the planter who received about $604 for twenty bales in 1X98 sold the same number of bales last year for $1,686, which means much in the general progress and prosperity of the South. The value of a bale of cotton, including the seed, was $84.31 in 1909. as compared with $30.-j 32 in 1898. The lowest price for cotton wus recorded in 1908, when :the average for the year was 4.9, compared with 13.29 cents In 1909. ! The average between is about 1 1 cents, which was crossed in the year 1907. It is pointed out that the production of Sea Island cotton did not | change materially in 1909 as to the! amount prolueed or the price. This is grown only in a limited area, and I the bulletin makes a strong argument in favor of increased acreage, so as to compete more fully w ith t.he Egyptian product. It is said that many parts of the South are favorable tol the production of long-fiber cotton, much of which sold last year at 30 cents to the pound. The bulletin shows that the Southern planters could muc.h improve their financial condition by resort to raising Sea Island cotton. ? , ? PKI'MM) <>\ OI K OITfOV Tli?* (irrHt Value of the South'* Staph' to the Nation. From official sources running back to 175*0, the Southern Commercial j Congress has correlated statistics that show the dependence of the nation upon cotton in maintaining the credit of the United States in world commerce. The total value of all exports from 1 7 90 to June 30 1909 was $47.99 1,224.4 05. The total balance in the favor the United States during this period has been $0,436,114,506. The total value of raw coton exported during the same time has been $t.1.598.353.036. These figures are for raw cotton alone and are low valuation. They leave out of consideration manufactured cotton and cotton seed products. The purpose of the compilation j is to life cotton products out of couI sideration as solely Southern interj ests and give them their rightful place as National; for without cotton the nation would appear a deht| or. instead of a creditor, on the world's balance sheet to the extent lot $7,000,000.

That the cotton bulls hahe won a victory over Attorney General Wickershum and that the latter withdrew the indictments against them because .he has seen the error ol his way is the opinion of Senator K. 1). Smith lie points out the fact that cotton has climbed a dollar a bale in spite of the closing of mills, curtailment and all other bear in fluence. He predicted that cotton will continue to rise until the prices in October would make the present rates look cheap. IMe.s t inler Wheels. At Philadelphia K. II.

New York. Philadelphia and Washington, in the Rust, have l>een especially hard hit, and the number of deaths is now close to the 100 mark. The only refuge t.he people ot these cities have from the heat is the parks, and these are literally crowded with humanity every hour of the twenty-four. And of these the chief oasis in the desert of .heat is Coney Island, near New York city. Coney Island is now crowded day ai d night, crowds averasng 15,000 persons sleeping on the beach every night.
