This will be the last issue of THE
ARGUS until after the election. We
trust the common people will lay
aside politics long enough to vote
for their own interest. If they do
there is no question about the result.
Col. Davis will be elected by a
handsome majority and the Dawson
tax laws will receive a black eye
that they will not recover from be-
fore the next election. So do your
duty June 9th and protect your
homes.

Court was suspended for cou.

the Ring could hold a Republican

of the Ring. 1t is struggling hard

the people are determined to teach
the Ring lesson on June 9th that

We cannot tell the Journal too
often that its party, which 1t up
holds and lauds, has increased the
expenditures of our State govern
ment from 81, 900, 900 to SO, 600, =
900. This explains why they had
to pass new tax laws to get more
revenue. The corporations would
not stand for any increase in their
taxation so they just piled it up on
the shoulders Of the common peo-
pie. How does it suit the RepublI-
can farmers ?

The Journal rather got its foot
into it last week throwing up wool
to us We had been expecting some
break of this kind from it for some
time and had been laying for it with
a club, not stuffed, but finished in hard
wood. We knew the Journal would
not post up and thought the farmers
were not posted on the wool market
and the reasons for its spasmodic
Quotations and because the price
was good just now on account of
the heavy demands from Russia and
Japan for clothing for their armies
in the field which temporarily jumps
the price and of course the Repub-
licans will try to take the credit for
and claim that il is all on account
of the high tariff which has no more
to do with it than the mud eaters of
Patagonia. We told all about il
last week and give further partic-
ulars this week, all of which spike
the Journals guns and prevents
them from pulling the wool over
the eyes of any except the most ig-
norant class of people.

TREMENDOUS SALES MADE IN IRON ORE Unprecedented Volume of BuSl- ness in History of Trade FURNACE INTERESTS ACTIVE Big Monthly Increase in United States SteePs Bookings-Light Rails
 Advanced $1 a Ton-Pig
 Iron Market Hardening.
FURNACE INTERESTS ACTIVE

Cleveland, O., December 6.-(Special)- The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Tremendous sales of iron ore have been made during the past week. Never before in the history of the trade have the az gregate sales been so large at this time or the year. Although ore shipments this year were 33,071,SA tons up to December 1, being 100000 in excess of the shipment for the same period in the record of 1902, numerous furnaces are finding that they have not fully covered for their requirements up to the opening of navigation next year. Profiting by this experience, furnace interests of the cen tral west have been very active in mak- ing contracts for their ore for 1906. East ern buyers are however, surprisingly slow in coming Into the market. The willingness of furnace interests to con- tract at so early date furnishes strong evidence of their connuence in the con- tinuing prosperity of the iron business.
 The terrific storm of last week on the lakes was the most disastrous ever experienced by vessels of modern con- struction, and has aroused much discus

sion as to it's effect on the building of steel vessels The storm demonstrated that the large new vessels have not sufficient power of engines to make certain their ability to keep from going ashore during a storm of such great velocity of wind and long duration as that of last week. Already orders have been given for three large freighters of higher power, and this policy will doubtless be generally follow ed by ship builders. Other changes may be made as the result of recent exper fences, but there is no danger that the building of steel vessels will be checked. Reports from nearly all parts of the country tell of decreased buying of pig iron. It is rather early to attribute this dullness freely to the holiday season. Ac- tivity in finished lines continues.
 New York, December 6.-The Iron Age of tomorrow will say.
 The bookings of the United States Steel corporation during November were slight ly above 1000 tons per day as compared with little more than 5000 tons per day in October. The St. Paul road has called for sixty thousand tons of rails, the first installment for it's Pacific coast extension. The first installment of the Baltimore & Ohio order involving 25,000 tons out of an estimated total of 75,000 has been given to the mills The leading interest has just been closed for 25,OOO tons for South America and for six thousand tons for Australia.
 Prices of light rails have been again advanced $1 per ton. The Pennsylvania railroad Is calling for bids for 22,oO0 tons for that part of the New York depot which will be above the street level, all though the material may not be actually used for IS months.
 It is estimated that there has been con tracted thus far, about 50,000 tons of fore ign structural material. which includes some sales of Belgian mills.
 There have been some further large contracts for rolling stock, and the re- port is current that one of the largest systems has been forced to turn to fore- ign makers for equipment, in order to get reasonable delivery.
 The market for all grades of pig iron is hardening. Furnacemen have bought heavily of lake ores for the next season, and some large purchases of foreign ores have been effected.
 In the wire trade the feeling Is growing that there may be an advance before the close of the year.

Farmers Fight Has Put Cotton Up.

The following signed statement
has been issued by G. H. Jenkins,
of the executive committee of the
Southern Cotton Growers Associa-
ton:
Since the first call was issued
for the farmers to organize for the
purpose of securing a 25 per cent.
reduction Of acreage and fertilizers
cotton has advanced $3.50 per
bale.
"Upon the basis of four million
bales being still in the hands of
the producers, this means a gain
of $40, coo, 900 to the cotton grow
ers of the South. If the farmers
and business men of the South
will stand by the programme
agreed upon at the New Orleans
convention, this gain will amount
to $40, 900, 900 on the crop in hand
by June l., and the gain of the
next crop will be at least $685.
600, 900. Can we not afford to
pay something. both in labor and
money, for such a consummation
as this?
"The essentials are reduction
in the next crop and holding
the present crop. The present
crop cannot be economically with
out warehouses therefore, my ad-
vice is to build warehouses and
do it now. Let the farmers
and business men of every county
get together at once and raise the
necessary fund to build a ware
house. "-Brownwood, Texas, Dis

Hold On to the Farm.

The man who owns g small farm
is indeed monarch of all he sur
veys. He can be independent Of
everything save death and tax
collectors. He will make the mis-
take of his life whenever be parts
with his land and moves to town.
He can educate his children right
there on that farm. It is all nom
sense to suppose that an educa-
ton can only lie had at college.
Horace Greedy educated himself.
Many of the successful men in
American life did the same thing.
Hold on to the farm. Encourage
the boys to read newspapers and
magazines and to work puzzles
around the fireside, and they will

of education. Hold on to the
