LAND GRANTS.

Let us sec how Mr.. Broward stands
and what sort of record he has in the
matter of giving lands to the rail
roads. Mr.. Broward was a member
Of the Florida Legislature in 1901.
That has not been so very long ago,
has it? At that session several bills
came before thealegislature touching
the subject of land grants.
One of these bills was: "To extend
the time limit for the commence
ment and completion of the Alfalfa,
Mauatee and Gulf Railway"
Mr.. Broward voted for the bill,

We have no abuse to hurl at his
opponent, who is our fellow towns
man, and who has some good quail
ties, BUT WHAT HAS BROWARD
RENDERED IN A PUBLIC WAY
TO THE STATE TO DESERVE
SUCH POLITICAL PREFER
MENT OVER DAVIS AT THE
HANDS OF THE PEOPLE OF
FLORIDA? This question we want
every voter to ask himself, and The
Metropolis believes if the voter will
just stop moment and consider and
compare the two men he will readily
concede that Bob" Davis is more
deserving of the high honor which
both of them now seek.
a great wrong is being done Davis
by Broward when the latter charges
Davis with being ready to give away
millions Of acres of state land to the
railroads if he (Davis) is elected
governor. Now, .Broward knows
this is pure political buncombe, as
was clearly shown by Maj. st. Clair
Abrams yesterday in The Metropolis,
and yet he (Broward) is willing to
bear false witness against his neigh
Dor simply for the purpose of catch
ing votes. This act of Broward's is
Il serious charge, for it questions Mr..
Davis integrity, and in all his years
of public service not Il bit of scandal
! has ever dimmed his bright escutch-
con. Broward should use more cred,
table methods than to try and throw
doubt on a brother democrats char

From Jac, ssnviIe Nc ropoliS, May 2ith.
Robert w. Davis and Napoleon b..
Broward are the two candidates for
the governorship now before the
voters of Florida, and the MetrOpO-
lis, in the interest of the people, ad-
vocatos the election of Bob Davis,
because we believe he is better fitted
for this high and responsible posi-
tion. His fine record as a congress
man has earned this additional
honor, and The Metropolis feels the
people, who can always be counted
on TO do the right thing,will enthusi-
astically support Bob Davis for
the position which he now asks for
at their hands.

Napoleon Il. BrOWard as a Rail-
road Land GrabbCr.

Mr.. Broward is seeking to defeat
Robt. w. Davis as Il candidate for
governor on the specious preteNt that
if Mr., Davis is elected he will turn
over the public lands to the railroad
companies. He does not attempt to
show that Mr.. Davis ever did an m-
warranted or improper act in his pub
lie lie, or that he ever betrayed II
trust or ever acted against the inter-
ests of the people. Mr.. Davis has
been in public life for some years
and has served eight of these years
in congress, where he has voted on
almost every question of the day
Mr.. Broward does not point out any
wrongful public act of his. He can
not do so. Yet he says in his map
that if Mr.. Davis is elected governor
he will do something wrong.

REPORT IRON TRADE REVIEW.
Increased Activity W Market Still Con
tinues.


tnues.
Cleveland, o., Oct. 20-The Iron
Trade Review this morning says:
The increased activity in the iron
market that set in with October has
kept up and in pig iron the past week
has seen the highest prices of the year.
Consumption has been overlapping
production for several weeks, and
while meters of pig iron bought in
the market, particularly foundries, find
no marked increase of orders, they are
steadily melting more iron than in the
summer months. The statistics in
dicate that iron output on Oct l was
at rate of about 16,5OO,0OO tons a
year, while in March, April and May
the spring "freshet' carried it up to
a rate of 18,000,000 tons. Pig iron
production is now on its second upturn
of the year, and the extent OF the
movement up is several factors. One
is the amount of idle capacity that
will come in as prices rise. The ad
vance has not been enough yet for the
blowing in of furnaces that have been
waiting for real profit. But the i'm.
portant fact is that merchant stocks
of pig iron were reduced $4,000 tons
last month, with coke and anthracite
production $4,000 tons more than in
August.
It would seem that too much has
been made of the marking up of south
ern iron to $1,000 for No. 2 foundry
aid to $11 by some producers. With
little or no iron selling at these prices
they are scarcely more significant
than was the $12 price named early
in 1902 by over-sold producers who
had no iron to sell at any price. North.
ern foundry iron has advanced, how
ever, in the past week on actual sales,
and the minimum for No. 2 foundry is
now $12 at Central Western furnaces,
while sales have been made at $12.25,
an advance of 25 to SO cents in fort.
night Bessemer iron has sold at
$12.25 at furnace and $3.50 is now
asked.
The steel rail situation Is a waiting
one. Manufacturers cite we'll main.
tanned freight rates of the carriers as
an important element in the problem
of rail prices for the coming year.
While $24 is the official condition, con.
ditions may bring $26 or even $28 as
the basis. While railroad agreements
for next year are expected to be con.
siderably beyond the buying for 1904,
standard sections are inactive today,
though rail business is good.
