EVERYBODY WILL SUFFER
WITH FARMERS
(Interview by Cotnmissiorer Har- *
ris in dailv papers of September
24.)
"If this cotton crop frets out. of
the hands oi the fanners at the
, prices quoted today, I want to say
to every business man that has
goods on his' shelf that the bigger
portion of his stoek will stay
there," said Commissioner Harris
on Thursday when he saw that
the cotton futures quotation had
gone down another 100 points durimr
the* d:iv.
Mr. Harris is not dismayed. He
says that cotton really is higher
today than it was a year ago,
and it went to 43 cents during the
summer just past. He feels confident
that cotton of the present
crop will go beyond r>0 cents next
summer, but he wishes to see the
real producers enjoy the benefits
of these high prices.
"Since I [have been old enough
to watch things," says Mr. Harris,
"the farmer is always the one, the
very first man Vo get a lick on the
head. He is the man who gets
jumped on * and cussed out when
the prices of commodities are high.
At present it seems that the financial
interests of the country are
arrayed against the South's monopoly.
cotton.
"We have a monopoly and they
have a cotton famine, it is actual,
and yet they are trying to beat
down the price of cotton. Deflation?after
our crop is made and
paid for by the farmer. That's a
one-sided proposition. Let us make
the crop and then squeeze us.
Cause us to suffer a heavy financial
loss, and our section as a
whole to bo weakened in power
and influence. That's what t'.ey
are drivinir for. I
"The reason why they can get
away with so much of this kind of
stuff is because of our unbusinesslike
system. 1 have presented this
to the Stat;? bankers' association
and others, and they promised relief,
and we must change our system
of having ail of cur indebtedness
for the year to fr?ll due* between
October 15 and December 1.
"Every bear speculator in the
world knows how much money is
owed by the farmers in each county,
and when it is to b^ paid. The
speculators have for 40 years tiken
advantage of the situation, for
they know that some of the cotton
has to go on the market to satisfy
debts. This is a bad system for
the fanner, and it us up to him to
remedy it.
"There is no just reason whv
cotton was worth yesterday 110
points more than it was quot:d today.
I am nroud to sav that th?re
is very little cotton going on the
market, for the farmers know that
such prices arc not justified by the
costs of production and the law of
demand.
"If this cotton crop pets out of
the hands of the farmers at the
prices quoted today, T want to say
to the merchants that have goocjs
on their shelve; that the bigger
portion of the goods will stay
there, the people will not buy them.
And the bankers know their deposits
will be slim.
"The prices bcinrc offered for
cotton today ave $50 to $75 dollar:
a bale below its intrinsic value.
Y't, I am sorry to say, ther? are
some very prominent men ir South
Carolina who have said that the
farmers have marie a grave mistake
in not selling their cotton hefore
now. These men evidently
think that the farmer was holding
on fpeculation, but he wa n't. Cotton
has rot sold ir. the last 1?.
months r the fweva"e cost <f
p ctior. over the cotton bet last
'I do not think that any farmer
or an> manu.iijtuic is <1 ing
wrer.g when the; are holding their
products for a pi ice above the
c . t of production. The present
f iop has cost the farmers more
money than any ether crop, an! if
it gets out of the hands of tlv^
producers at a price below
the cost of producing it every
business man in the South is
going to feel it. Will selling above
the cost of production hurt the
South?

States owned the monopoly of
such a world's commodity a^ cotton,
short staple would bo selling to-day
for a dollar a pound. They would
hold it and make the world pay for
it, just as they will do with the
goods made of our cotton.
"1 am afraid if some of the fellows
who say that forty
cents is too high for cotton
had to get out and make ; and '
jj rgatbjpr rot they wculd say jit was #>o

wo have fewer boll weevils, but
more fertilizer bills." i
