converted into kind of fraternal or
gnnization that would look after the
economical and social welfare of its
members, and be of vast assistance in
many ways. Every time, however,
that the farmers have been induced to
JOIN in such an effort they have been
cajoled by the willy politician into
questions they should avoid; questions
that they cannot all agree upon, and,
therefore, disintegration sets in about
Il e time they get into good working
order. If the Farmers Union does
net draw back quickly and decisively,
in another year it will take its place in
the political cemetery alongside the
Changers and the Alliance.-San An
tonic Express.
The big dailies in Texas are woe
fully worried for fear the Farmers
Union will get into politics. They
swat blood for organized labor to
prevent it from getting into politics,
too. The big dailies are fearful that
they will not be left undisturbed to
guide the ship of state alone. They
are over anxious that the wage Garner
should only look after his bench, and
the farmer his pillow, and allow them
to give all the political instruction. If
the big dailies are overthrown and the
machine wrestled from their grasp,
they can blame no one but themselves,
for the dire calsmities that they sug-
gest must come from these conditions,
lead US to believe that there is some
thing to be gained by looking after
our own political affairs, instead of al
lowing others to perform the very
pleasant and profitable duty for us.
None of these big dailies have suffered
death and burial from this cause. Nayl
They have waxed fat by the great
sacrifices they have made for the
"dear people," But if they persist
this fairness may be reduced to min
imum. The Farmers Union, as well
as other unions, are not taking these
expressions seriously, but are looking
the situation squarely in the face, and
wren the proper time arrives are go
Skio do their whole duty. So Just
keep cool, and take care of the circu-
lation, and If the Farmers Union
abusts" there's not sanctum in Texas
that will suffer therefrom.

The farmers union and POLITICS

The Pass Word, the paper hereto
fore published by the Farmers Union
of Texas, has been absorbed by the
Southern Mercury Milton Parks pop
ulist paper and will hereafter be
printed by Mr.. Park as the Southern
Mercury and Pass Word. The aim of
| the Mercury and Pass Word, it is an
nounced, will be the upbuilding of the
Farmers Union and the betterment of
the industrial condition of Texas farm
ers. 1t will be nonpartisan in poll
tics and will be conducted strictly as an
industrial organ. Yes, when Milton
Park runs a nonpartisan paper the
planet Mars will be on speaking terms
with the earth. This little amalgama-
ton of papers looks very much like a
move in the direction of a union of the
Farmers Union with populism. It is
part of well-laid plan of coterie of
former populist leaders to land the
union in politics, that these leaders
may swipe the pie, but the people are
watching the maneuvers of this gang
and will not permit it to go into effect.
-Comanche Chief.
The Telegram has heretofore warned
the members of the Farmers Union
that the men who wrecked the old
Farmers Alliance by carrying it into
politics are keeping their eyes on the
new organization with the same end in
view. They will not show their hand
in the undertaking until absolutely
sure of their game, but there is every
indication that the men who killed the
Farmers Alliance in Texas, through
its delivery to the populist party, are
now scheming to do the very same
thing for the Farmers Union.-Ft.
Worth Telegram.
The Express on several occasions
has called the attention of the Farm
ers' Union to the history of the
Changers and the Farmers Alliance.
1t was not reasonable to suspect, how
ever, that the union would SO soon be
seduced into the paths that led to the
extinction of those two great organi-
cations. There is no doubt that the
agricultural classes ought to have some
kind of an OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES devoted
to the material and moral welfare of
its members. 1t could be of great as
sistance to farmers in obtaining
great many advantages for them. 1t
could keep its members advised as to
the market conditions, and when and
where it was best to sell. 1t could OBJ
tain concessions on all kinds of rates
that are necessary in getting their
products to the consumer; and it
could also help greatly in establishing
a feeling of fellowship among those of
a common calling. 1t could be easily

ONE of the factors in the wonderful
prosperity enjoyed by this country is
exemplifed in the statement of CON-
merce between Germany and the United
States made by the department of COM
merce and labor. This report shows a
balance of trade in our favor of sl05 ,592,
43S. The increase OF trade between
these two countries during the past 10
years will be better understood by the
following comparisons: Articles import
ed from Germany to the u. S. in 1894
amounted to 500, 1897 800 and in 1904
amounted to 5l09. lSS, BOD, an increase of
S39, S00649 The exports from the Unit
ed States TO Germany for the cores
ponding years were For 1894, S92, 357,
1913 and for 1904, 1914, $50, 992, an increase
of Sl22, 49,, 500 \ careful study of this
report shows that the larger per cent of
our exports to Germany consists of agri-
cultural products and raw material. For
instance, take wheat and cotton. In
1904 the value of manufactured cotton
was 3l09 l23,65S, nearly one-half of the
value of the entire exports, while the
value of the manufactured product was
sl,O74,27S, less than 10 per cent of the
raw cotton. In wheat the difference Is
not so marked, for 40 per cent of the
amount received by Germany was manu-
featured into -four, the value for -four
being 81, lS2, 400, while the total for wheat
was but 81, 1862, 112. Great as is the value
of the raw material shipped into Ger
many to be manufactured or consumed
compared with the manufactured mate
rial, there is serious alarm among the
German manufacturers because of the
competition in all lines from Americans,
and legislation is urged that this may be
curbeG.

Better Rates For Fruit Growers

The persistent opposition Of local ship

Armour company for icing refrigerator

by w. G.. Wildey from A. Patriarche, the
general traffic manager of the Pere Mar
quette system would indicate.
DETROIT, Mich, May Is, 1905.
MIR. w. &. WILpEY,
Paw Paw, Mich.
Dear Sir: am in receipt of your favor
of the 10th inst. and Judge that you did
not hear the statement made by Mr.
Stevens, attorney for this company. We
are going to use the Armour refrigerator,
under our contract. in the refrigeration
of peaches and plums, but on grapes and
apples and such fruit the exclusive con-
tract with the Armour people is abro-
gated, leaving shippers free to obtain
any refrigerator wherever they can
get it, and refrigeration will be per-
formed by them at actual cost, but il the
Armour car is desired for such shipments,
it will be subject to the refrigeratng
tariff of the Armour company. This
places your territory at Paw Paw on
just as favorable basis as the Michigan
Central at Lawton so far as the shipping
of grapes is concerned, but on peaches
nothing but the Armour refrigerator can
be used by us.
We are not anxious over the compet-
ton of the Michigan Central. If there
is going to be large crop of fruit, there
will be trem endous shortage of refrg-
orator cars by all railroads that have not
made their arrangements with the Ar
mour people, because the outside refrig-
orator is not to be had in any quantity,
and | will be very much mistaken if this
does not prove to be a fact"
This freight arrangement will give
Paw Paw what she needs a market that
will allow shippers to compete with
buyers on the main line of the Michigan
Central and add thousands of dollars to
the value of the fruit crop in this vicinity.

paragraph: at is due To the public and

Interstate Commerce Commission.

One of the most important sessions
of the Interstate commerce commission
so far as the fruit growers of Mich
igan are concerned, was held in Chi
cago the past week. At that time
shippers and dealers from western
and southwestern Michigan were be-
fore the commission and some very
important testimony was given.
Thursday, May IL, testimony was
given by the following shippers and
dealers from Michigan and elsewhere:
a. L. Sommer of the Gum Fruit
Co., st. Louis, was one of the best
witnesses before the commission to
establish the fact that where there is
competition the rate for refrigeration
is always lower. John d. HUMPHREYS,
also of st. Louis, gave some interest
ing testimony along the same line,
and showed that the rate on grapes
from northeast and other points in
the grape section of Pennsylvania and
New York were very reasonable when
compared with charges from Michigan
points, where there is no competition or
has not been for the past two or three
years.
w. G. Wildey, a prominent grower
and shipper of Paw Paw, Mich, was
also before the commission on Thurs
day, and testified that the charges for
on fruit shipments were
excessive,

INSPECTORS At WAR
GILLIAN COUNTY AFTER
DIR. f. n. HUTCHINSON.
Alleged That the UnfavorabIe Report
on the Reynolds Cattle Has Dam
aged the Cattle Interests-One Cat
tie Buyer Said He Could Tie Up All
the Cattle Shipments of the County
by the Payment OF $50 to $50

The trouble over the inspection of
the Reynolds cattle at Condor by Dr.
E. N. Hutchinson last August, in
which the cattle were pronounced to
be infected with the mango and unfit
to ship, has assumed serious propor-
tions.
The Condor Commercial club and
Gillian county stockmen have taken
up the fight and have held several
examinations of the same herd of
cattle, all of which examinations have
been contrary to the findings of DIR.
Hutchinson.
State Veterinarian Mclean has pro-
nounced the cattle free from mango
and the microscopical examinations
of their hide, hair and flesh, in the
laboratory of the State Agricultural
college have disclosed no trace of
mango.
DIR. Hickox, chief of the Western
division of the bureau of animal in
dustry, with headquarters in Salt
Lake, has personally visited Gillian
county and inspected the Reynolds
cattle and sustains the finding of Dr.
Hutchinson, whose action he accredits
to over-zealousness in examinations.
An unpleasant feature is now COM
ing to light and is being developed by
the Condor Commercial club. Affi-
davits are being taken, tending to
show that cattle buyers who have con-
tracted for cattle in advance and who
may have become dissatisfied with
their purchase, may secure an unfa-
vorable inspection of the cattle when
delivered, thus relieving them of their
obligations and annulling the sale.
One buyer named Clark, it is al
legged, has said that for $40 to $50 he
could tie up all the cattle in Gillian
county. This charge against the hon
esty of the inspectors is being rigidly
investigated by Condon's Commercial
association and sensational develop
ments are expected.
It is estimated that $4,000 damage
has been done to the cattle interests
of Gillian county by the unfavorable
report on the Reynolds cattle. The
public announcement that Gillian
county cattle were infected has caused
the buyers to remain out of the coun-
ty and hundreds of head of cattle
that were remarkable remain unsold.

DATES DO NOT THRIVE.
California Experiment With Southern
Fruit Not Yet Certain.

Although the United States govern.
experimental date culture at Mecca
in the southern part of California,
where a grove of date palms has been
planted, Professor A.sV. Stubenrauch
of the University of California, who
has charge of the grove, is of the
opinion that the experiment is not
sufficiently complete to warrant pri-
vate concerns taking 1t up, says the
Examiner.
He cautions individuals against
purchasing expensive plants from
Africa until the experiment being
conducted by the government has
passed the crucial stage and been pro-
nounced a success by the government
experts.
In a recent article regarding the
question Professor Stubenrauch says:
"It has come to our notice that a
number of persons are thinking of en-
gaging i'm date culture, and some have
gone so far as to order date palms
from the Sahara desert.
1T is to caution these people that
this article is written. While we do
not in any way wish to interfere with
the extension of the date industry, it
is as yet too early to say definitely
whether or not the industry is going
to be a practical success.
1.-THE experimental plantation which
has been established Jointly by the
United States department of agricul-
ture and the California station near
Mecca, in the Salton basin, is less
than a year old.
"rhe palms which were planted
there were imported at a great ex-
pense by the United States depart
ment of agriculture, and while they
have grown even better than was ex-
pected during the first summer sea-
son, 1t must not be forgotten that they
have as yet the winter season to en-
dure before it can be said definitely
whether they will prove wholly sue
cessful."

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 16.-Be-
tween five and six hundred delegates
filled Tomlinson hall this morning at
the opening of the sixteenth annual
convention of the United Minework-
ers of America. The states most large
ly represented were Indiana, Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Illinois. Delegates
were on hand also from Iowa, Mich
igan, Kentucky, West Virginia, Ten
nessee and other states in which the
miners are directly or indirectly af-
filiated with the national body.
President John Mitchell called the
gathering to order, and his address
was the features of the opening day
Before the regular business of the
convention was taken up the delegates
listened to addresses of welcome by
Mayor Hoffman and others. The
roll was then called by Secretary Will
son and this was followed by the ap-
pointment of committees and other
work relating to the permanent or
ganizatlon of the convention.
The annual address of President
Mitchell was listened to with close at
tention by the convention and his re-
marks were frequently punctuated
with applause. The address was a re-
view of the past years developments
in the mining situation and a forecast
of the future as related to wages, con-
ditions of labor and other matters of
vital interest to the miners.
The convention will be in session
about ten days. Its business will con-
sist chiefly of the consideration of re-
ports from officers and committees
and discussion and action on a num-
Der of proposed amendments to the
constitution and bylaws of the or
ganization.
The United Mineworkers is the
largest single labor body in the Unit
ed States. 1t is divided into many
district and state organizations, each
of which holds its annual convention
and also sends delegates to the meet
ing of the national body. The mem
bership now embraces the miners of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indi-
ANA llllnOls, Iowa, west NlTBlhids
Kentucky, Alabama, Nebraska, Wis
consin, Arkansas, Kansas Indian Ter
ritory, New Mexico, Virginia, Ten
nessee and Texas.
The present national organization
was effected at Columbus, o., in 1890,
and really grew out of the X. of L.,
No. 1876, and the National Progress
i've Union. Later the miners repudi-
ated the Knights of Labor and Joined
interests with the American Fedora
ton Of Labor.
The present convention will elect
president, vice-president, secretary
and treasurer, an executive board and
other officers and delegates to the
next convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. John Mitchell will
be reelected president, as will Vice.
president Lewis and Secretary-Treas-
urer Wilson. 1t is also probable that
nearly every present member of the
executive board will be reelected.
In former years the wage scale has
been the chief subject of discussion
at the annual conventions. The con-
tract that was made with the operat-
ors last year. however, was two-year
contract, hence the matter of wages
will not come up for discussion at the
present convention.
