The American Gianer *nd Cotton Reporting Agency seet great danger to the fArmers in the .etablishment of warehouses for the storage of cottoo. It seems underneath the system a secret scheme to c-ntral the cotton market and oppresz the farmer. It admits that this is not the avowed par pose of the "Napoleons in the domain of business," publicly expressed, out that 'Ithe invasion has lbeen under taken" and "is insidious in its ap proaches." This is about the way the tch ene will be worked according to the Ginner: "The cotton will be taken to -he warehouse by the farmers when the price of cotton is not satisfactory, and the farmer will want a little money oi his cotton. H1e will take his warehouse receipt and negotia'e a loan approximating the value of the cotton at the time of delivery. The warehouse conoern will probably ad vance the money itself. When the cotton declines a margin will be do manded, but the farmer has spent the S-imoney he borrowed ayA cannot put it nu. He loses hit cotton, and tLe warehouse concern has his cotton." This, of course, may not apply to Mocal warehouses owned by home people, but the trusts have a way of crushing oat local competition. Thoy have swallowed up nearly all the cot too seed oil mills, and they may get Gentrol of the warehouses. The farmer has within himself, however, the power to be independent of the trusts. If he will raise his own supplies and cotton as a surplnsage, he an hold his cotton himself when he pleases, and won't have to borrow money on it. The trouble with the farmer is that his methods of doing business make him an easy prey for the trusts to devoar. ippines .than we are, and probably know more about them.

Every observer of events recognizes that this is an age of unprecedented and overwhelming corporate enter prises. Vast aggregations of capital are organized for controlling the price of every article of human production, and in many elds they have been wonderfully successful. The success has naturally induced an inclination to undertake the widest fields of enter prise until no product or commodity. no matter how Tant, can be considered immune from attack. The cotton crop of America, enlist ing, as it does, the interest of every civilized country on earth, farnishing raiment to the nations, has be!en hith erto considered too vast in its propor tions and too wide in its rarnificatious of influence to tempt the octopus. But it appears that the very magnitude of the enterprise has been an inspiration and an inducement to the endeavor. The very greatness of the enterprise has seemed to invite, rather than repel, the endeavors of some who have sahieved great things in other similar, but smaller, undertakingt. It would seem as if stupendous success in the circumscribed feld whetted the appe tite for greater worlds to conquer, and !here are many evidences plainly dis cernible to the intelligent observer, who looks beneath the surface, that such an enterprise has been planned, and the process of extension begun. The Napoleons of inance who un dertake these stupendons enterprises never make an assault ri d armis-the waiting siege, sapping and mining, constitute their method of operation and approach to the citadel which they de sire to capture. And that siege.against cotton has began. We have repeatedly pointed out the indications of its pro gress and sought to show the danger that menaced the producer and con sumer alike in the slow but gradual approach of the enemy, and the fright. ful consequences that must ensue un less this insidious foe was met and repelled. We thaye also exposed the feasibility of the plan of operation un dertaken by the trust and how in possible it was to defeat their aesomp lishment without organized resistance on the part of the interests assailed. Once surrendor the preparation of cotton for market to a monopoly and where then is tb hope of the producer or consumer? Once establish the warehouse system of storage and who controls the mar ket? These two agencies combined falgll all needful means to accomplish what is known as a corner, and when they become generally ladopted, the pro ducer on the one hand must take the price coffered and the spinner en the other must pay the price asked, or the alternative. The grower's cotton must ret on his hands and a famine of cotten goods produced. Who can measure the misery that must result from such a situation? Yet who can doubt that it must be the logical sequence of the surrender of the cotton crop of America to a monopoly such as has been organized for its capture.
