AMERICAN COTTON INDUSTRY.
This Country Has Reached the Posi-.
ton of a Leader. ....


The United States record breaking
crop of 12,162,000 bales in 1904 will
serve to draw attention to cotton as
a social and economic factor In the
worlds development and to show the
important part which 1t plays In hu-
man society. Congress In 1898 placed
a duty Of cents pound on cotton,
never dreaming that 1t would one day
become the most important or the
country's exports. When, in 1874, John
Jay was in England to frame the treaty
under which American commerce got
it's first real start, he did not know that
cotton was exported from this country
or ever would be exported.
The $4,000 bales Of cotton produced
by the United States In 1900 had grown
to 4,S0O,000 in 1860. In the words OF
Hammond of South Carolina, cotton
had become king among United states
products by that time. The year 1888
saw the 100000 mark In production
passed for the first time. It was never
passed afterwards, except In 1893, Till
1904, when the output was l2,162,000
bales. In 1903 the farm value OF the
cotton crop and its by-products was In
the neighborhood Of $700,000,0O0. In
1904, owing to the reduced price, the
value did not pass beyond that marx:
In each year, however, 1t ranked all
the other products Of the soil In the
amount Of money which 1t brought
the grower. except corn.
Three fourths Of all the cotton grown
In the world is produced in the United
States. Twenty per cent Of the entire
American CROP was manufactured IN
American mills in 1860. This propor-
ton, increasing faster than the produc-
ton, had grown to 81 per cent In lSol.
The south. which manufactured only
30 900 bales of cotton in 1870, as com
pared with 777,00O In the north, only
221 900 as compared with the north's
1874 900 in 1880. and only $4,000 TO
the north's 1,78000O in 1890, was even
with the north in 1908 and 1904, eacn
section manufacturing slightly less
than 100000 bales.-Chtcago Cnron-

Tillman: You broke into my speech.

Talbert: You alluded to me and
shook your finger at me which can

Senator Tillman laughed and re-
marked:
I've been along that road many a
time before" and turning to his table
said: Now. the figures for Lawrence,

his speech. The incident was closed.

BIG EAST SIDE FEAST.

ncr's Non-Partlsan Opening.

Max Eisner. the Grand street Delmonico,
held his winter opening last night. and II
was a notable event on the Fast Side. es-
pecially in political circles On one side OF
Eisner's cafe is the headquarters OF the
Florrie Sullivan Association On the other
side il the Republican headquarters. Across
the street are the rooms Of the East Side
Jerome Volunteers.
Eisner doesn't talk politics, but there was
great jam Of politicians at the opening.
At one time it looked like riot inside the
cafe. 1t was necessary to have several
policemen detailed to the place to keep
order.
The main table near the front door was
early grabbed by Max Levine, Tam many
candidate for Alderman in "de Ate" Just
after Levine grabbed the chairs there was
a football rush from a crowd Of friends Of
his Republican opponent to get them away
from him, but he held his ground few
minutes later the Hon Florrie Sullivan
and his crowd pushed in and the Levine
table was safe for the night. There were
tables enough, however, for all the opposing
elements in the district
General Sessions Justice Otto A. RosalsEy
received cordial greeting as he entered
the place and took his seat at the republican
table. Justice Rosalsky took his seat on
the bench earlier in the day. Several
floral tributes we're placed on the table
in front of him.
Myer Schoenfeld led a crowd of Jerome
followers to several other tables.
Esner greeted all his guests with smile
and took no sides in the political quarrels
that caused awful talk fights in the after
dinner discussions.
District Attorney Jerome, who frequently
dimes at Eisner's, was expected, but he sent
regrets. Pretty nearly all the candidates
for minor offices on the East Side were
present with their shouters. When the
jerome delegation came in there was a
mighty shout. Tam any men and others
arose and the enthusiasm was spontaneous
and genuine.
There were many handsomely gowned
women in the gathering ana they ,,mM,sa %aNea
at the mention of Jerome's name.
An orchestra of twelve pieces played
"Tammany" and there was good natured
response from all present. The Hon.
Florrie Sullivan led his crowd in the sin glng
of the chorus.
When Myer schoenfeld called for
three cheers for Jerome they were given
with will and the orchestra started up
He's jolly Good Fellow. The crowd,
led by Schoenfeld, joined in this chorus,

Two years ago, when the cotton crop was

in the Fall River district yesterday that
the operatives had refused an offer Of S

towns thoroughly. John Golden, chairman
Of the meeting and president Of the United

"The national union has decided to sup
port the Fall River operatives financially in
case Of strike, and will support the locals
in any Of the other cities II necessary. The
wages for years have been based on the
prices paid for the new cotton and the
finished article and the demand. This
year every mill is busy; and the operatives
want to have their former wages restored.'

Collisions OF mobs of strikers and their
