Considered superficially this question might seem an easy one to answer, and theanswer, in the light of the change from the starvation prices of cotton in the last decade of the nineteenth century to fair prices of the first decade of the twentieth century, might lead to a conclusion that cotton growers are rolling in unaccustomed wealth. That conclusion would hardly square with facts. It would be dominated by the confusion of arising from the use of the dollar idea in es timating the value of cotton with out due regard for the dollar idea in estimating the value of things for which cotton is exchanged. If there weae no curency, no money medium of exchange, no metal standard of value of varying intrinsic value itself, the problem of low prices or of high prices for commodities would be simplified and the individual producer would measure the value of its product in terms of other products that he might obtain in exchange for it. How interesting the developments from such a return in this latter day to the primitive truck iug system of exchange might be is suggested in a brief consideration of the purchasing power of a 500-pound bale of cotion in a year of ''low prices " such as thing Hi A a leisman's I Tuesday, February 22, I am ? / costrig and Summer goods will be am compelled to sacrifice the is Feb. 22 tENEFIT OF Y( Men's Dr Be 18 89 6 00 Shoes, slaugh ce 14 79 5 00 Shoes, slaugh Be 12 89 4 00 Shoes, slaugh ce 9 99 2 00 Shoes, slaughi Be 8 79 2 50 Shoes, slaughi S 49?

The full revelation would come from knowledge of the wholesale prices received by the cotton grower and the retail prices he must pay for most of his purchases. But it is practically impossible to mane the study upon the retail basis, inasmnch as so many elements enter into the question of retail prices as paid by the ultimate consumer. However a comparison of average annual wholesale prices of certain articles, measured by the dollar, of arbitrarily fixed value itself, but varying frequently in purchasing power, will give one an inkling to the meaning to the power of cotton of the advance in prices in the past 10 years. The average price of a 500-pound bale of upland middling cotton in 1898 was $29.86; the average price of the same kind of bale in 1908 was a little less than $52.85. Those were wholesale prices.
