Chicaqo and South American Trade.

Chicago and St. Louis are preparing to act Independently of the eastern cities in the matter of seeking trade in the Latin republics. They do not pro pose to ship by way of the eastern cities ait all. The Chicago manufac- turers in particular are resolved to seek outlets through the ports of New Or leans, Mobile, Pensacola and Sahine Pass. Two new steamer lines bstween Sabine Pass ard Mexico, Central Amer fca and Cuba have just been established, and the Illinois Central railroad com- pany is preparing to put on steamers to run to Mexican and Central American ports. A Mne to Venezuela s also under consideration.
 These movements are full of encour- agement to Birmingham. Every step that the MistEleeippi valley takes to- wards securing a trade in the Latin counates through the gulf ports, makes smooth the road that thls district will opened. Every such step, too, rem ders that waterway more needful and imperative.
 Aud if Chicago and St. Louis would of the situation, they would see that they could in a quick and thorough manner secure full cargoes by insisting upon the early completion of that wa Ir, 11xr used as coal This district literally has lit to burn almost to the end of time. With waterway complete, this district has coal that VII drive every pound of English coal out of Mexico, Central America, the Atlantic ports of South America and the West Indies. When an Isthn1lian canal is completed, Ala bama coal will drive English coal out of the Pacific plorts of all the Amer fcals.
 It is not necessary to mention the iron, the. yellow pine, or the naval stores that can be concentrated at Mo bile. Alabama has a splendid river system, centerdng in Mobile bay, and comparatively small sums would make every inch of those rivers navigable. And when they are, the vessels that Chicago and St. Louis may cause to run to southern pclts will never lack cargoes. Birmingham coal alone VIII call for all available tonnage.

 pointed a special committee to receive prop ositions for furnishing the city and private consumers in the city of Birmingham with gas for lighting, Illuminating and other purposes They will receive bids, so to speak. Of course, the Birmingham Gas com pany will put in bid There may be other companies or individuals who will bid
 Whoever be the bidders, 1t has been dem- onstrated through the columns of The Age Herald and it will be further demonstrated that gas can be furnished private con sand at a profit to the company supplying it. This being the case, the committee of aldermen above named will insist upon rate not exceeding one dollar. The clty hdS the right to enact an ordinance fixing the rate that any gas company doing business in the city of Birmingham shall charge private consumers. It has the same right to fix the price of gas that it has to fix rates of fare in public hacks or street cars. It would be unjust on the part of the city to fix a rate below the line of legitimate profit to a gas company; but when it is demonstrated that certain price charged will result in fair and just profit to the producer such price being based on experi- ence in other cities of like population and conditions then it is just to arrange the price here accordingly and fix it.
 Gas can be furnished consumers here at a handsome profit to the present company for one dollar a thousand. It is so selling 1t to its favorites. It can sell 1t to all alike at this price and profit thereby. Let the price be not one penny above one dollar

Tennessee River Nayiqation.

The river convention held in Chatta- nooga on Tuesday was largely attend ed. Delegates from Bridgeport. Shef- field, Tuscumbia, Florence, Huntsville and Wheeler were in attendance, as well as delegates from river towns in other states. Instead of memorial, the convention decided to send a large delegation to Washington to confer with the rivers and harbors committee as to an appropriation for the needed i'm provements in the Tennessee river Gen. Wheeler was present, and is ac- lively cooperating to secure an appro- priatfon.
 The people of the Tennessee valley want an appropriation of $3,000,O00. This sum, it is claimed, would provide slack water navigation from Riveaton in this state to Knoxville in Tennessee. The chief obstruction is the Colbert shoals, through which the government has for a considerable time been constructing g. patient, and they want the Colbert cans al completed, because 1t is the key to the entire upper river
 Gen. Wheeler says much work must also be done near Bridgeport In- stead of removing a rock here and a
 boulder there, the plan should be changed, and a dam and lock built just below the Suck. Gen. Wheeler says th,s s the only practicable way cG inn proving that part of the river. Alto gether the people in the Tennessee val ley would like an appropriation of $4,- 000,000, although they would rejoflce if the sum recommended by the secretary of war, $2,OOO,OOO, were granted.
 It is difficult to see why such an inn a course of years, when so many mill lions are ladled out to the northern states in the form of pensions. It $ in fact rank injustice to this section of the country-a section upon which both the direct and indirect taxation of the government bear heavily The com- mittee appropriated by cs rdwfIlm m;ttee appointed by the convention will make good showing when Gen. Wheel CT secures for them hearing before the rivers and harbcds committee of con gress

 From the Chicago Inter-ocean.
 The output of pig iron in -the United States during 1897 is estimated at 10000 900 tons. At this rate all past records will be left far behind. The output for 1896 was B. 62s ,127 tons. From the details of 1896 some useful lessons may be learned; then, as now, Pennsylvania produced nearly half of all the pig iron of the country, Ohio standing next in order, with Illinois third and Alabama pressing very closely behind. But, nevertheless, Pennsylvanias output for 1896 was less by 675,000 tons than in 1895; Ohio's by 367 ,463 and that of Illinois by s0,S52. On the other hand, Alabama, Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina, made great gains, Alabama, indeed, pressed uncomfortably close upon Illinois, the re- turns showing a production of 925. .239 tons for Illinois and a221 ITO for Alabama. But in the conversion of pig iron to steel or to other higher forms of iron, Illinois was Tar and easy beyond Alabama.
 The increase of the manufacture of pig iron under the protective policy of the last thirty years has been marvellous, but not more marvellous than the decrease or price, Protection has worked as well for the con- suner as the producer. For example, in 1865 the whole United States did not pro- duce one-fourth as much pig iron as was turned out by Pennsylvania alone In lSSo In 1872 the price of No. 1 foundry pig iron was s4Ss8 Der tom in 1896 it sold at s1295 The falling off in price in tWenty-four years is about one-fourth; but wages have not fallen in any such proportion, nor is 1t likely that they will. The results Of pfotec- ton have been increase of products, maih- tenance of the wage rate, and decrease or the price paid by the consumer

The Town Hoq and Cow.

The Tuskaloosa Times thinks the town COW should accompany the town hog into enforced retirement. The town hog is pronounced and unmitigated nu,sanee, but the town COW is even worse. Lean, unkempt and hungry" says the Times, "she wanders about the streets anxiously seeking what she may devour. Her appetite Is ever present, and never satisfied. Her tastes range from hoop-poles to salt barrels. and with a cunning that is the result of bong ex- per'ience, she usually manages to get what she wants. A favcrite foragdng ground is hhe farmers wagon, which contains something .n the shape of provender for his team. The farmer that keeps the town COW from his fodder has busy day's wlork cut out Sticks and stones malkdtcticns and impreca- tions, are of no effect.
 The subject has a moral as well as an aesthetic side. In the former respect the question arises, what right has any one to turn an animal out to ravage the property of the pubic or of imdivid- uals? For that is just what the town cow CT hog does. Those dumb animals are innocent of wrong -dcfng, but their owner certainly ts not, whether he act from delibsration or in sheer careless ness. Whoever lets an animal roam the streets or country roads commits a Ia ;,a t,s,,c ct-or f1 he O with and If his animals destroy any property, their owner is a destructionfst, to put it mildly. The act of the animal is the act of the animals owner, not only in law, but in all conscience and justice and reason.
 But the Times doubtless, had in m,nd the aesthetic proposition. If it be con sidered desirable to make a town cr neighborhood attractive so that people will consider it a pleasant place to live in, and will, perhaps, after awhile act up to their impressions, then indeed the town hog and town COW must both be bani1hed to the pens. It is impossible to have beautiful, desirable town, and have at ithe same time the town hog and the town cow. Beauty and town ami mals do not go together. A town that accepts and permits the one cannot have the other. And so it follows after a wh,ie that the town animals become a test cG population The more town hogs and COWS, the fewer people, and as cul- ture is advanced the more imperative does this rule become.
 So it comes along that the town COW and town hog have an economic aspect. They beccme a test of prosperity in the town as a whole. If people of culture shun town 1t can not become highly prosperous, and it ds an irrefutable propos tion that the best people will not live where cows and hogs are given the freedom of the town.

The gas company violated it's contract with the city and the city very properly annulled the gas contract. This leaves the city free to regulate the price of gas by ordinance. This should be the next step taken, if the gas company fails to volun- tarily give the city and private consum- CTS dollar gas.

PRICES THEN AND NOW.

The disposition of free-silver organs
and orators to deny the improvement
i'll prices of farm products which has
occurred in the face of the steady fall
in the price of silver has led some
body to make comparison of the
prices quoted in the Omaha World
Herald of recent date with its quota
tons at the date of the adoption of the
Chicago platform. This table is especi-
ally interesting since it includes prac-
tically all articles of farm production,
showing an increase in the price of
every one, and thus controverting the
assertion that the increase in prices
is confined to breudstuffs and due to
the shortage abroad. The table, which
