This Section la Annually Pinched and
Bled for Money Needed to Move Its
Huge Cotton Crop.
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

Senator Smith: All I hava »o aay
In reply to that la that on account of
the duty existing previously the great
arteries of trade through which the
article passed were pre-empted by
that duty, and it takes some time
even with a smaller duty for trade
to become accustomed to the fact
that the markets of our country are
open to competition. 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

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

Senator Smoot: There were Im

Senator Smith: la the total
amount of conaumption stated.
Senator Smoot: The total amount
of production la atated in dollars and
cents.
Senator Smith: But the tablea do
not give the number of yards con
sumed.
Senator Smoot: No. but the total
amount of production Is $3,507,000.
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.
Senator Smoot: Of course. Mr.
President, what I am quoting from
are the figures of tile department.

Mr Sin.".' 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

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 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. I say to the Senator that the tariff haa raised the price.

Senator Gallinger Mr President.
I desire to ask the Senator from
Utah a question. If it be true that
tills bagging is made In ('a)cutta un
der conditions such as the Senator
has detailed how does it happen that
we have not much larger Importa
tions of it ■*
Senator Smoot- On account of the
six-tenths of one cent per square
yard under the present law; but this
bill proposes
Senator Gallinger: I understand;
but can our manufacturers compete
with this condition in Calcutta and
be protected by the small duty now
imposed on that foreign product?
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

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

The Vice-President: The question
is on the adoption of the resolution.
The resolution was agreed to with

FIRST DIB ETT VOTE SENATOR.
Bacon, of Georgia, Elected Under Sev
enteenth Amendment.
Agustus 0. Bacon, of Atlanta, Ga.,
bas been re-elected to the U. 8.
Senate by the direct votes of his
electorate. This makes him the first
senator to be so elected under the re
cently ratified seventeenth amend
ment to the Constitution. This
amendment provides that the voters
of the several states shall cast direct
ballots in senatorial elections.
The vote throughout the whole
elecorate was very light, owing to
the fact that Senator Bacon was un
opposed. Many of the country poll
ing places were not even opened, ao
tbe result of the election was a fore
gone conclusion. (
