The burden of our defective bank ing system falls upon no section of the country more heavily than upon the South because the South is pinch ed and bled annually in the move ment of the cotton crop. In the thirteen cotton growing States, including Kentucky and ex cluding Missouri, there are 1461 nat ional banks with a combined captial stock of $159,927,43. The total val ue of cotton raised annually in the Southern States is about seven and a half billion dollars. When the capitalization of the Southern banks is considered in con nection with the value of the cotton crop, it is at once obvious why they must call on New York and on Eu rope for help when that crop is to be moved from the producer to the man ufacturer. It should be mentioned in the be ginning that the local cotton busi ness is done in cash. Hence a buyer or cotton factor will arrange with bis local bank to obtain funds if be wishes to purchase cotton. He gives as security bis note, with warehouse, or compress, receipts, or the railroad bills of lading covering a certain number of bales of cotton Gonservatiie banks do not advance on tills form o' security more than *h> ir capital stock and surplus, and so 'h*' movement of cotton is rostlv and difficult When the cotton fac tor hut 1 "oil b,i»-s and gets a loan for. *av f co.,0,0 th*. lo< ;«1 bank* know th.V w thin three or four dav* t will be called upon for f'fo ono in currency which mu*' come out of Its r*»»« r\e or to- sent to I’ from r- sef rl’v bank* Ap; roilmately l.’u Ooo no,, ,,f <-'irrenc\ <« H.-ti 1 annus Into the South to help finance t crop Who gets ’he profi'* N.« YI WILL BE LOOKED AFTER that tbare la aom* othar rauaa for t»- rrwuwd prteM baatdaa the tariff, as I have told him In tha paat.

Now with free bagging a thing that is possibly per manent—and which I hope will be permanent under the long sfretch of Democratic rule that lies before us they are getting ready to go out of business and as a last stroke under their monopoly and under their pro tection they are exacting $1,800,000 from the people who are dependent upon them for this cover. Senator Smoot: The manufactur ers of cotton bagging have very little cotton bagging on hand to-day. There is no question about It, and I to be misled, and I promise him for eign dictation in prices after the pas sage of this bill. After this tariff bill becomes law, the American man ufacturers of cotton bagging will be wiped out of existence, and the Sen ior knows tha’ that will be the case He has admitted tbit they will cease making these goods The Southern plaiC' T will tie the sufferer I want ttie Senator to remember ’hat I predict this dav that the cotton pi inter of the Son'll, as soon a* the American Tha Renat or from Rncoal My* that than* too read* antiroly In this coantry war* 13,365.349 square yards wi. |tham importad In 191J s. j '.. 1L Senator Smith: Will tha Senator iici oiunit ran nns n Senator E. I). Smith Gets a Resolu tion Through the Senate Calling on the Department of Commerce to Investigate and Find Out t{ie Cause of the Raise. The inquiry into the increase of two cents a yard in the selling price of jute bagging, which is to be start ed at once by the Department of Commerce, as the result of Senator E. D. Smith’s resolution in the Sen ate on the subject, will, it is believ ed, have a very important effect. It will show that the bagging manufac turers, anticipating lower tariff du ties, have determined to get all they can out of the farmers of the South while the getting is good. The in crease of two cents^ a yard in the price of bagging means a tax of ap proximately $1,811(1,000 in one season on the farmers of the South, and Sen ator Smith is confident that the in quiry will show that there has been no excuse for this other than the manufacturers had the power The following extract from the Congressional Record, giving the pro ceedings in Die Senate while the res olution was uti ler ,unsiderat on. show * t hat some ,,f the KepubIC an senators. represenMng the protected interest*, tried to de'ea* ’he inquiry hut were unable to do so. and also ill h it " ' ir t >: r,-r i 4 <1 *-t rn\ * 1 » iM pa' •n a v " ■ ’ fur h’- (■')•: on b.'ElMT g tiian iav I HU > • r ;< n ■ 1 it >11 !

To show the Senator the values they place upon these goods, I will say that I find that the unit of value of bagging is 4.7 cents per square yard. Senator Smith: I merely rose to call the Senator’s attention to the fact that there is used in this country for the covering of cotton alone some thing like 120,000,000 square yards Senator Bacon: Mr. President the Senator from Utah seems to have some doubt upon the estimate of the number of yards of bagging used in this country in the baling of cotton It takes about seven yards to cover a bale of cotton, if the Senator wil multiply 15 by that number he will ?et a pretty accurate estimate of the amount of bagging used in this coun try.

Mr Pros! !• nt this is rather nfieshniK to ni" lo'cniis** In the [ia*t I have alvvHv* heard the Sen it<>r from South Carolina say that the reason for these exTeine prices have been the tariff Mr Smith, of South Carolina: It is the cause, in my opinion, now. Mr Smoot: The pending bill pro vides that cotton bagging shall be free. So. I say, it is quite refresh ing to me to hear the Senator now ask for reasons why there is an in crease in the price of cotton bagging. Senator Smith: The Senator from Ctati well knows that those eneaged in this business have been protected by a duty that forbade competition and importation. Realizing the dan ger which now threatens them and knowing that they have this one stroke at the American people, they are holding them up to get $1,800,- 000 before they are forced by the Democratic tariff to deal fairly. Senator Smoot: The Senator ought to know that the few manufac turers of this country of cotton bag ging have not a million eight hun dred thousand dollars on hand, nor any considerable portion bf. Senator Smith: I suspect that is one of the reasons why they want to get it. Senator Smoot: All I wanted to call the Senate's attention was that the rate on cotton bagging is only six-tenths of a cent a square yard. Now, the Senator from South Caro lina rises in his seat and says the price has advanced three cents a pound. Senator Smith: That Is coirect. Senator Smoot: In the very face form' d, in w hh h ho said that th** f Ac ton or factories I do not know which, making 'his cotton bagging in consequence of the proposed tariff bill, were now preparing to close their industry and go out of business. Senator Smith: I did not say that. I said in contemplation of taking ad vantage of their monopoly and the protection that was thrown around them, they were putting up the price in order that they might take advan tage of that they had been enjoying all these years. I did not say that they were about to go out of busi ness, because I do not believe they will, I believe there is a legitimate profit in the business on the lines of competition. I believe there is ille gitimate profit in it that they have been enjoying al) these years or they would not be clamoring for protec tion. Senator Lippitt: Then I misun derstood the Senator. Senator Smith: I am glad the Senator called it to my attention. Senator Lippitt: I understood the Senator to make that assertion. Senator Smith: No, I made no such assertion. Senator Lippitt: So far as the in quiry goes I can see no objection to it at all. If any light can be thrown on the situation there is no reason in the world why it should not be. Senator Smoot: Mr. President, I have no objection whatever to the passage of the resolution. I think that it Is very proper Indeed that the investigation should be made. I will watch with particular interest the re port when made .because we shall have some reason given other than of free bagging.

Senator Smoot: That is a pretty^ fair duty on the square yard; In fact I think the duty amounts to nearly 10 per cent, on this very coarse arti cle; but so far, in the past, it has allowed our manufacturers In this country to manufacture a great part of the cotton bagging that Is used here. Senator Stone: Mr. President, I understand this resolution iherely directs the Secretary of Commerce to make an inquiry and report. Mr* Smoot: That Is all. Senator Stone: If that Is the full scope of the resolution I have no ob jection to it. The Vice-President: The question is on the adoption of the resolution.
