“ONLY TWO SIDES TO THE QUES
TION”
Says Mr. Smith—The Selling World
and the Purchasing Wolrd—Orga
nization is Simple.
It is a matter ol surprise as- I go
through the South to find that there
is a disposition among its people to
ask how this organization is to be
perfected and how we propose to gain
the object in view. The. process is
so simple that it seems to me that
this is perhaps the reason why we
are so slow in approaching it. There
are but two sides to the question:
The purchasing world and the selling
world. The farmers who make the
cotton, the speculators, the cotton
buyers, mill men, in other words,
those who buy cotton, who handle cot
ton and who manipulate it for the
purpose of making money other than
alterable in their observances and re
sults as the laws in the physical
world. God intends that man sh^ll
proper just in proportion as he mixes
brain with business. The world in
its progress has learned that combi
nation is the basis of all success; that
the man who attempts to stand alone
is lost in the fight of life, hence by
combining they have been able to
overcome, depress, and sacrifice for
their own gain the disorganized and
ignorant world, and my plea to the
Southern cotton grower is that know
ing this law to be a God-given law
his only hope to withstand the ag
gressiveness of combination is to op-
•pose it with combination, hence the
position occupied by the Southern cot
ton grower, having as he has a mo
nopoly of the greatest staple on earth,
it is simply a question of his power
to control for has own benefit this
wonderful wealth-producing commo
dity. It is a nitiful sight and one that
would move the heart of any man
to see a Southern farmer in whose
veins flows the blood of heroes, hav
ing in his hand this great Southern
staple, walking the streets, a beggar
on his own domain, asking the world
to price, to weigh, to grade, this won
derful wealth-producing element of
his and out of which he is getting
barely enough to go hack to his pover
ty-stricken home, his work-worn wife,
his ignorant and poorly fed children
the producers. Now this consuming „ ,
world or buying world have no other 1 to overflow by another twelve months
sources from which to obtain dotton I labor the coffers of those who sit
except from the South. It is useless !fl'otate to him how much they
to speik of foreign competition. That j
idea has been exploded for for'yi
years for the reason that just after
the vvar in 18G<> cotton was bringing
$1.8!) per pound middling in New
York. Seven European stitLs met
for tlie purpose of devising ways and
means of raising cotton in their ter
ritory in competition with American
cotton or a; least to supply in some
degree the famine that was then ex
isting in the cotton world. It must In
will allow him to live on to make their
yearly crop of cotton. I have thought
as he walked the streets with a sam-
p.e of cotton in his hand, was this
really, actually a sample of cotton;
it is the currency of the South, the
predominant industry of the world,
and the South’s monopoly. Upon it
depends the South’s ability to devel
op her marvelous resources, to edu
cate her people, to see to it that
wealth and character shall be charac-
understood that Europe had then the | teristic of her in place of poverty and
same facilities for handling cotton. I ignorance, every department of our

these speculators see fit to give him, I have pledged my God as I pledged
this fight. Aren’t you afraid that by
carrying the price too high you will
stimulate competition and kill the
goose that lays the golden egg?” My
reply to him was, "The goose is all
right. We are after the scoundrel
that has been stealing the golden eggs
and for the first time in the history
of this goose we have had a setting
of the golden eggs and the hatching
was so according to our taste that
we have gone into the goose busi
ness.” In conclusion, I want to say
that that which has nerved me to
make the fight in the South is that
this is the same old fight that was
waged forty years ago. only in a dif
ferent form. Then it was for political
supremacy; now it is for financial su
premacy. And the same men and the
sons of the men who with a heroic
sacrifice made the name of the South
glorious is the one which will make her
victorious in the other. It is not
necessary for me to plead with these
men and the sons of these men to re
member that thin tattered line who
with bleeding feet and breaking hearts
stodd defying the well kept and or
ganized forces of the world, and with
the cry of mother, wife and sister,
from a desolate land, pleading with
them if possible to come home and
help them in their extremities, and
on the other hand the call of their
leader to try once again the test of
arms against overwhelming numbers
This grand exhibition of heroism by
these heroes who against all odds
with bleeding feet and breaking
hearts, when the ertmmam* was glveh
sprang forward and up the horrid hill
of self-sacrifice bathed in the blood of
friends, brothers and countryman, toil
ed onward and upward and. wrote
with their own heart’s blood high up
on the shaft of fame the immortal
names of Lee and Jackson and. though
the stars and bars went down in d
feat in the face of overwhelming num
bers, today the South organized under
the banner of cotton will carry this
fUg on to victory and having driven
back forever the grounds of ignoi-
nnre will once again vindicate \her
right and her ability to be the garden
spot of the world.

it costs me about 7 1-2 cents per pound in the South should See to it that

Therefore can there be any surprise
that we find the cotton producers of

tribe: but they are altogether unlike
