MIR. UNDERWOOD THINKS
 NEW YORK IS FOR PARKER

night, "I think I am safe in saying there never was a time when the people were giving less attention to politics. Every democrat seems to be willing to trust the meeting of the party's representatives at it's convention next year. I think there can be no doubt that the main issue upon which the next campaign will be based will be that of the tariff. The continu- ance of the present tariff rates is,not only an outrage upon the poor class of our citizens, but it is only matter of few years before our export market will be absolutely ruined by the short-sighted policy of the republicans.
 We are today producing material, for instance, iron, in such quantities as to far exceed our own use. There must be some outlet for our surplus or else our mines must close Foreign nations to whom we are dependent in a degree will not always regard our legislative actions against them in a spirit of friendship. Sooner or later there must be retaliation and when that comes our capitalists will feel it heavily"

BIRMINGHAM IRON
 MARKET DISCUSSED
Prominent Dealer CorrectS Ger
 tain Misleading Statements
THE TRUTH ABOUT PRICES
Instead of Prices Gong Lower the Tendency Is Upward-Sloss-Shet- field Steel and Iron Com
 pany's Sales.

Inquiry among the principal iron pro- dueers of this district shows that there are now on the yards in the Birmingham district nearly 15o,0OO tons of pig. A prom inent dealer said
 "rhe price of SIP for No, and Sll Tor No has been rigidly adhered to and no sales can be traced that have been maue at any less figures than those fixed ny the committee. As nearly as can pc learned all the stories which have ob- tained currency through the journals dur ing the last three or four weeks, as to cut in prices are the outcome of the state ment which appeared in the New fork Commercial that such cut had been made. It is thought that the Commarclai was the victim of an inspired correspond ent writing in the interest of certain parties who were either short on thelr contracts or else wanted to buy round amount at a reduced price"
 The Railroads.
 What is needed to start wholesale movement in the iron now on the yards Is that the railroads should do their snare by giving a concession of 50 cents ton in the tariff rate 10 the north. This must be done in order to compete with the western product and if it Is done at once the roads can handle a large amount ot the iron before they begin to move the heavy portion of the cotton crop. If this is not done many who put off buying in hopes of a reduced rate in the future Will find that during the winter, when the cotton is being moved, they cannot get their iron and so will be obliged to close down. I am surprised that the roads do not grasp this point and grant the redue- tion asked for"
 President J. C. Maben of the soss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company, who returned from New York on Friday morn- ing, said yesterday

SUBURBS AGAINST
 PENDING MEASURE
Greater Birmingham Bill Un-
 satisfactory to Mayors
RESOLUTIONS ARE PASSED
Representatives of Suburban Towns Say That Bill Introduced In Leg slature Is Not the One
 They Agreed To.

Representatives of the various munich palities included in the proposed Greater Birmingham claim that the bill which has just been introduced in the legislature by Representative DuBose Is not like the one agreed upon at the meeting held in Montgomery a week ago last Friday.
 A meeting was held In the office of T. II. Friel yesterday afternoon at 1 clock at which strong resolutions were adopted condemning the action taken by the rep resentatives of Birmingham interests in introducing the amended bill without all lowing those of the suburbs to see it.
 It is claimed that the amended bill de- prives the suburbs of a voice in many matters of concern to their welfare, such as the encouragement of wards, the oca- ton of schools and the guarantee of po- lice and fire protection. Copies of the resolution and of the letter will be sent to the senator and each of the represent atives of Jefferson county. The letter is signed by the following: W. R. Starbuck, mayor of Avondale; James L. Cole, mayor of North Birmingham; John B. Burris, mayor of Woodlawn; c. B. Powell, city attorney at West End; W. J. Martin. city attorney of East Lake; R. N. Mckinley, mayor of East Lake, T. H. Friel, alder man of North Birmingham, and c. B. Smith, city attorney of North Birming- ham.

The Agreement.

The letter, which was signed by the various representatives of the suburbs who were present at the meeting, Is as follows:
 ITO the senator and representatives of
 Jefferson county:
 The undersigned desire to call your attention to a conference held at Mont gomery on the 11th day of September 1903, relative to the proposed legislation affecting Birmingham and its suburbs called the Greater Birmingham bill, at which conference each of you gentlemen were present as well as the undersigned. After much discussion 1t was unanimously agreed that a certain bill should be pre- pared and introduced making Greater Bir- mingham a possibility.
 Along these lines and agreements Mr. E. D. Smith drafted a bill and mailed each of us a copy. Which bill meets with our approval; but we are informed through the papers and by parties who have seen it. that a new bill has been prepared by MT. Smith entirely different in many ways from the first one, a copy of which we have not, nor have we ever seen, and in- troduced last night in the house, and that you gentlemen have agreed to its passage and so forth.
 When we agreed in caucus to bill we certainly expected that bill to be passed, and expected to live up to our part of the compact and we have now the right to demand at the hands of Birmingham s authorities that they do likewise, and that we be furnished with copy of the bill introduced by Mir. DuBose last night. We claim the right and privilege to call upon you gentlemen. as our representatives to see that no bill be passed other than the one agreed upon, copy of which Sena- tor Morrow has in hand now, or a bill em- bodying the same privileges as the bill agreed upon in conference, except ter ritorially, and this only in view of the fact that MT. E. D. Smith claims the no- tice insufficient to cover bill applying to the whole county"
