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

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 .

Insurgent senators prevented i

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.

Mere are some of the issues of the
coming campaign as outlined by Senator
Overman of North Carolina:
Down with Connonism! Down
with plutocracy! Down with unlawful
trusts and combines, chief beneficiaries
of tariff legislation, purchasers
of elections, debauchers of the
ballot. Down with those who woulil

trenchnient and reform. Turn the
rascals out. Clean out the Angean
stables. A uew hrootu sweeps clean.
A tariff for revenue only, so adjusted
as to operate alike upon all
classes, all sections and all industi
ics.
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.

YAIjUK of cotton crop.
Interesting Facts by" Gov.
ornnicnt lte|M>rt.
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

and that the latter withdrew

that cotton has climbed a dollar a

curtailment and all other bear in

will continue to rise until the
prices in October would make the
present rates look cheap.

The torrid heat wave which has
swept the country during the past
three weeks has been taking a heavy
toll of human life, especially in the
large cities, where, in the crowded
I tenement district, there is not a
I breath of air from one week's end
t to the other. 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

persons sleeping on the beach every
