if the city could take action.
An ordinance providing for an Oil in

THE REAL CAUSE.
A Few Important Facts for Popocrats
to Consider.

To the Editor of The Republican.
Sir: The majority Of the writer's for
the partisan papers find special delight
in exposing their ignorance Of the
topics and principles they discuss as in.
variably they attribute to the workings
of the new tariff or of sound money
every business disaster as it occurs.
How completely their castles in the
air, built upon the recent reverses OF
the cotton industry. fall to mother
earth may be illustrated by a perusal OF
the following extracts from a news
paper printed on the spot:
The Fall River cotton manufacturers
have announced a 10 per cen reduction
to take effect the first of next month.
A strike is imminent; but the con-
ditions of the cotton manufacturing In
dustry in Fall River do not make this
a particularly opportune time for such
action. The proposition that the mil,
treasurers and agents shall also SUBJ
nit to a reduction. may. II acted on, dc
something to relieve the situation. The
reduction is primarily caused by the
competition of the southern cotton
mills. In the south wages are less, the
hours of labor longer, and immediate
proximity to the raw material gives a
considerable advantage. The growth
of this industry in the south has been
remarkable. In 1880 the south had 1870
mills with 667 900 spindles; in 1890 1t
had 254 mills with 1,712,O 900 spindles,
and it now has 400 mills with 4,1OO, 900
spindles and liz, 900 looms. In 1880
the capital OF the mills vas $21, 900, 900;
in 1890 it was $61 100, 900, and 1t now Is
$125 900 900. In the United States there
are about 1900. 900 spindles, while
there are about s.. 900 900 in the world.
There is about $500, OOO, 900 invested IN
cotton mills in the United States, and
about $4,000, 900 900 in the world. We
have about one-fifth Of the total NUNS
Der of spindles and one-fifth the capl-
tai. while the south produces 60 per cent
of the worlds cotton crop. The adver-
age Of the south over the north in hours
and wages of labor will ultimately to
some degree be offset by labor legisla-
ton and combinations OF labor in the
south. but 1t will take some time for
conditions in these respects to be
equalized. They are not the same to-
day in the neighboring states of Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island. The factor
If proximity to the raw material 10
more than overbalanced by the bank
ing facilities Of the north, which is an
important element in manufacturing.
and by proximity to markets. and by
the command of skilled fabor. Still,
the fact remains that during the last
two years southern mills have paid
good dividends. while many northern
mill have been barely profitable. Many
Of the best informed men believe that
northern mills must hold their own by
combining themselves to the higher
grades Of manufacture. in which at
present the south Is not a competitor.

SENATOR WARREN EXPLAINS
FULLY THE STATUS OF
CLAIMANTS.
No Law Under Which the Money Can
Be Collected-No Finding of Su-
preme Court Which Will Authorize
Such Payments-The Foundation
for the Attempts at Collection.

Recently The Republican had an ar
ticle calling attention to the fact that
Iagents were at work looking up the
matter of desert and claims as related
to those who sold their rights to syndi-
Gates and corporations. The following
extracts from a letter from Senator
Francis E. Warren will more fully ex>
plain the exact situation:
list. There is at present no law under
which this money can be collected.
I'd. There has been no finding or de-
cision by the United States supreme
court which wNl authorize such pay
ments.
AS far as | know, only two firms in
the United States are soliciting the COL
lection of these claims. One firm 10
Gated in Washington, the other on the
Pacific coast.
Nearly two years ago l took the mat
ter up with the Washington firm and
was informed that they were soliciting
the business of undertaking the collec-
ton Of these claims and obtaining pow
ers Of attorney as fast as possible. with
the intention of trying for legislation
on the subject, or Of bringing a suit In
tended to obtain some finding of the
court which would justify the interior
department in paying such claims. This
firm wanted to obtain claims enough 50
that their interest or percentage in tho
collection OF them would offer large
enough returns to Justify very consid-
cradle expense in the employment, If
necessary, of a number Of people, COM
petent in the law. as well perhaps as
able agents to assist IN obtaining legis-
latfon.
The foundation they had for the be-
lief that the court would afford relief
was derived from a paragraph or two in
the opinion of Mr.. Justice Harlan of the
supreme court of the United States,
rendered in deciding a certain land
case. although these paragraphs settle
no points at issue: the finding Of the
court being upon another point Of law.
l am not informed what foundation
the Pacific coast firm are basing their
work upon, but assume it to be on SIM
liar grounds or procedure
II there was a law providing for the
payment OF these claims, I should be
glad to serve our Wyoming friends up
on their application and proofs offered,
because the land Office records develop
plainly and concisely each transaction.
hope we may yet secure legislation
providing some way to justly and equi-
tably accomplish these repayments.
Very truly yours,
