SEPARATED FOR YEARS.
Burgard Brothers Have Not Seen Each
Other Since 1858.

For 40 years John Burgard, who is
a rancher near Starbuck, has not seen
his brothers and sisters. none of whom
would now know MIN if they should
meet him by chance. Mr. Burgard is a
stockman and rancher, and came west
with his father and another brother in
1856 to the then wilds Of California
during the days of the gold hunter.
The father had made a previous trip
in 1S49, returned east, and on his
coming back brought two boys with

\ PARALLEL CA Sc.

The republican Minneapolis jour
nal says:
There is a close parallel between
political conditions in the state of
Washington and Minnesota. Washing
ton. at the western end of Mr.. Hill S
great railway system. is suffering
from Great Northern domination in
politics even worse than Minnesota
at the eastern extremity. The fight
i, younger there and the people have
been slow to arouse; but now, from
all reports they are we'll walked up.
Governor Mcbride, whose term is
about to expire. made what some call
a political mistake when he Joined mis-
forces with those of Governor Van
SAINT and had an action brought in
the name of his state against the
Northern Securities company. To
make bad matter worse he joined
in the agitation for a law creating a
state railway commission. At the
present time the state has no manner
of regulating rates, and the railroad
makers are charging almost pro-
hibitive rates on lumber and wheat

the state should have a commission

ference of the railroads in state poll
tics.
The parallel is easily completed by
any one familiar with the history OF
Minnesota for the past three years.
The movement against the Northern
Securities company was started by
Governor Van SAINT, who was imme-
diately put on the blacklist of the rail
road interests involved in that case.
The governor secured a second term
with a wave of popular support, and
then retired. Then came the inning of
the railroad influences, and by the
most high handed means they secured
the nomination of the one republican
VINO had openly repudiated the artl-
merger campaign. Republicans who
pinned their faith to that issue two
wears ago and made it their appear
to the voters. must keep silence this
year or make public admission that
they were INDUCING in hot air.
Voters who have conviction on this
subject are no better satisfied with the
nominee in Minnesota than they are
in Washington. There is a revolt here,
the votes are counted.

COLONEL PARKER IS HAPPY.
ExtoIs on the kindnesses of Bank

Colonel f. J. Parker left this after
noon for Rye valley, Oregon, with NJ.

the Pacific coast to examine a mine in
that section. Before he left he felt
like painting the town a deep lurid red

Boyer National bank, the last note it
held on him which was for money ad-
Vanced years ago. The colonel said:

The morning paper has had a great
deal to say lately about west side dem
ocratic members of the legislature who
voted against the railway commission
bill. The truth is that democratic
members of the Legislature from the
west side are like snakes in Ireland.
1t is hard to find any. In the last ses-
sion of the legislature there were only
three or four and they were elected by
all the democratic members in the leg
islature of 1903 were from the east side

The records snow that Albert F..
Mead, the Farrell Grosscup nominee
for governor, voted against an anti
pass bill introduced in the legislature
of 1898 by a member from Douglas
county. The constitution of the state
says that the Legislature shall enact an
anti-pass law, and Mead violated his
oath to support the constitution when
he voted against the bill at the dicta-
ton of the railroad lobby.

MEAD THE. RAILROAD CANDIDATE

William Goodyear in his speech de-
printed in today'S Statesman proved
conclusively from republican sources
that Albert +. Mead is the railroad
candidate for governor of this state.
Among other proofs he quoted from
the morning paper of this city which
stated on its editorial page on May ID.

convention at Tacoma. that Mead was

gress by the railroads in opposition to
Mayor Black. the railway
commission candidate in Whatcom
county.
Mr.. Goodyear also effectually dis
proved the statement often made by
railroad organs that Mead was chosen
by d. F.. Anderson to take charge of
his freight rate bill during the au-
thor's absence from Olympia. A let
ter from Mr.. Anderson was read i'll
which he stated that he requested j.
w. Arrasmith, of Whitman county to
look after the bill and the records snow
that Arrasmith and Neergard of Adams
were the most active supporters of
the measure. The bill passed without
opposition from the railroad lobby.
and of course Mead voted for it. as
there was nothing else to do.

LABOR NOT PROTECTED BY
TARIFF.

TARIFF.
The main argument advanced by the
| republican party for the maintenance
of the present high tariff is that it
protects American labor. In fact we
have free trade in labor and the only
protection American wOrkmen have
against low wages is through labor un-
ions. Even this protection is made
quate as 'pauper' laborers from Eu-
rope by hundreds of thousands are be-
ing dumped on our shores every year
The following from the republican
Oregonian of Portland should open the
eyes of American WOrkmen to the true
situation that confrOnts American
labor Notwithstanding the Dingley
tariff, which shuts out foreign goods
but throws the doors wide open to
cheap foreign labor. The Oregonian
says
The White Star Liner Celtic, which
sailed from Queenstown last Friday
has on board 1850 people, the largest
number ever carried on an ocean
steamship. Gable advices do not par
ticularize. but it is believed that this
number includes the crew of about $50
The steamship Cedric, of the same line,
arrived at New York last week with
1894 passengers. of which 2162 We're in
the steerage. If "a prOportiOnate num-
Der of the Celtics passengers are in the
steerage. these two big liners alone
will add about 1900 people to the
''steerage" classes of our population in
the short space of two weeks. The
immensely of steamship that can
offer accommodations for more than
5000 people for an eight day trip across
the ocean is almost beyond the con-
ceptiOn of the landsman who has never
seen the ocean and its wonderful COM
merce carriers, but who knows that a
thousand people is not small crowd.
1t is not the great size of the Celtic
and Cedric however, that offers the
greatest feature of interest in connec-
ton with their September voyages, but
the fact that they are dumping on the
American labor market more than 1000
competitors with the people already
here.
The White Star Line. with its man.
moth Cedric, Celtic and Baltic, as
we'll as other transatlantic lines, with
their $40 steerage rates, promises to be
a strike breaker Of more formidable
aspect than Farley. In dumping this
cheap labor of Europe on our shores
by the thousands, they are doing more
to discourage strikes than any other
agency that has been enlisted in the
cause.
Labor, both skilled and unskilled, is
a commodity regulated<by the law OF
supply and demand. Wien the de-
mand exceeds the supply. strikes are
| generally successful; but when the OPP
! pOsite is the case. some one will gel
! hungry and make fight for the righ1
! to labor at Whatever wage his SER
vices will command. regardless of the
edict of the union. Labor conditions il
! the east have for several months beer
in a precarious state. and every ship
load of foreigners that is dumped OF
our shores draws the strain littl'
tighter"

The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-09-01

The cotton year of 1903-04 closed last night, and that of 1904-05 has opened its books. For all practical purposes the crop year might as well begin August 1st of each year, as by that time all old cotton has been mark eted, and receipts after that date are of the new crop. The total figures of receipts and shipments for the past year in Montgomery are as follows: Montgomery Annual Cotton Statement. Stock on hand. Sept. l,

ADVERTISER IMPROVES
PAPER NOW OCCUPIES FIVE STORY
 BUILDING.
One of the Great Institutions of Mont- gamery is Keeping Pace With
 PrOgress OR Alabama's Capi- taI City.

It has been said by disinterested per- sons that no city of like size in this country supports a bigger or better morning newspaper than Montgomery and that no morning newspaper gives greater evidence of this support than The Montgomery Advertiser.
 The constant growth, the daily in- crease of patronage, the ever apparent improvement of the newspaper, speak in themselves of the prosperity Ala bamas leading newspaper is enjoy ing. ,
 But more potent still Is the expansion of its building and it's enlarged facili- ties for publishing a bigger and better newspaper. Two years ago The Adver- tiser Company purchased a centrally located lot and had constructed a four story bHlding for it's own use. Early last Spring the management found that notwithstanding proEision had been made for every department. more room was needed to accommodate new de- partments made necessary by the grow ing business. A contract was made for the building of a fifth story and this work is just now completed. having cost approximately $4.OO0.
 With the additional story the build ing. five stories high crowned by a mansard roof with dormer windows, oc- cupying conspicuous position at the corner of Dexter Avenue and Lawrence Street, is one of the most ornamental and attractive buildings of the business district of Montgomery.
 Few readers of The Advertiser. espec- ially those who live outside of Mont gomery, realize that the plant of the company publishing the newspaper is one of the really. large institutions of Alabama. It is not generally known for example, that The Advertiser Com pany employs nearly one hundred men and women, thereby approximately supporting four hundred people. The average reader of the Advertiser may be surprised to know that The Adver- tiser has a larger mali and pays more postage than any other business con- cern in Montgomery. and for that mat ter. few concerns in Montgomery, man. ufacturing or otherwise, have a larger weekly payroll than The Advertiser
 To accommodate this large business

fore 1t goes into machinery, I estimate at $1,7O0000,000 per annum, or $300,-
 100000 less than the worlds output of cotton goods"
 MT. Edmonds further says: T esti- mate the value of American Cotton for the season ending August s1, 1904, will about double the gold output of the
 worlds mines. and estimates the val ue or United States cotton exports this season as $s7o,ooo.o 900. foreign coun- tries have paid us this season as much as though they had sent to the United States every dollar of gold which the world produced last year."
 There Is an increasing demand for cotton and an American crop of twelve million bales would not be in ex- cess of the worlds demands. On the fu- ture for American cotton" MT. J. L. Watkins, a former Alabamian and cotton expert, In a pamphlet published by the Department of Agriculture, among other things said:
 Since 1870 the increased consump- tion on the continent, in the United States, and in India has been enormous. It has also been very large in Great Britain, though much less than in the United States and Germany Indeed the United States is now the largest cotton consuming country in the world, having in 1S9S, taken the lead from Great Britain. which had held the su- premacy in the cotton industry for over a century. Undoubtedly this expansion could never have taken place (outside of India) except for the continually in- creasing crops of the Southern States We are supplying the world with more than S5 per cent. Gin 1901) of the cotton it manufactures into clothing. and MT. Ellison, Ca prominent English author ity, recently deceased,) declared some years ago. when our crops were much smaller than now. that the cotton crop of the United States provided the raw material for more than half the calico used by the entire human face, from which he inferred that there was a great deal more nakedness in the world prior to the development of the cotton industry in the South, than there is at the present time.
