COTTON SEED PRODUCTS
WANTED BY FOR
EIGNERS.
Exports for the Year Valued at $40,
100000, an Increase of $9,500,OO0
Over 1906-Decline in Ex-
ports of Cotton Cloths.

Washington, D. c., November a.
Fifteen billions of dollars represent
the value Of the annual production of
manufactures in the United States.
After careful estimates were made by
experts, Colonel John ii. Carson,
chief Of the bureau Of manufactures,
was able to make this statement in
the annual report Of the operations Of
his bureau, made public today. The
figures do not represent finished prod
ucts entirely, but include products in
various stages of progress.
Last year the aggregate value Of
domestic merchandise exported was
$1,854,0O0,000, an increase of nearly
$136,OOO,000 over the preceding year.
In this classification, manufactures
ready for consumption are credited
with $480,000,000, and these figures
are generally accepted as the extent
Of the exports of manufactures.
The report of the bureau, however,
groups this classification with those
of foodstuffs partly or wholly manu-
factured" and manufactures for
further use in manufacturing, the
aggregate exports of which last year
were $6O6,0O0,000, and this amount,
added to manufactures ready for
consumption" make the aggregate
value Of manufactures exported in
the year ended June 80, $1,086, 6,000,-
600, or more than So per cent Of the
entire exports for that year. Special
significance is attached to the in
crease of nearly $20,000,000 in the
exports of completed manufactures, in
view of the fact that the exports of
cotton cloths declined more than $21,-
100000, this loss being entirely in the
cotton trade with China. The popular
feeling aroused in that country grow
ing out of alleged outrages against
Chinese residents in the United States
is assigned as contributory cause for
this decline.
The cotton seed product exports FOR
the year were upwards of $40, 100000,
an increase of $9,5O0,0OO over 1906.
In commenting on these figures the
report says:
aside from its intrinsic value this
relatively new industry has an econo-
mic value and Importance to the coun-
try, the beneficial results Of which are
especially felt in the several states in

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
The President Of the United States
has reiterated the proclamation Of
Thanksgiving of our Puritan Fathers.
Through his secretary Of State Presi-
dent Roosevelt has issued his Thanks
giving proclamation, naming the last
Thursday in November for the date.
His proclamation in part follows:
"Once again the season of the year
has come when, in accordance with
the custom Of our forefathers for
generations past, the President ap-
points the day as the especial occas-
ion for all our people to give praise
and thanksgiving to God.
During the past year we have
been free from famine, from pestil-
ence, from war, we are at peace with
the rest Of mankind. Our natural
resources are at least as great as
those of any other nation. We be-
lieve that in ability to develop and
take advantage Of these resources,
the average man Of his nation stands
at least as high as the average man
of any other. Nowhere else in the
world is there such an opportunity for
free people to develop to the fullest
extent all its power of body, Of mind,
and Of that which stands above both
body and mind-character
"Much has been given us from on
high, and much will rightly be ex-
pected of us in return. Into our care
these talents have been entrusted !;
and we are to be pardoned neither if
we squander and waste them, nor yet
if we hide them in a napkin, for they
must be fruitful in our hands. Ever
throughout the ages at all times and
among all people, prosperity has been
fraught with danger, and it behooves
us to beseech the Giver Of all things
that we may not fall into love of ease
and luxury; that we may not forget
our duty to God and to our neighbor.
"A great democracy like ours, a
democracy based upon the principles
of orderly liberty, can be perpetuated
only if in the heart Of the ordinary
citizen there dwells a keen sense Of
Righteousness and justice. We should
earnestly pray that this spirit of
righteousness and justice may grow

and Alabama.
The Georgia and Alabama Indus
trial Index, published at Columbus,
Ga, says:
FIf further demonstration might be
desired Of the stability Of industrial
development in Georgia and Alabama
and Of the substantial character of
the uninterrupted progress which is
being made in these two States, it is
to be found in the magnitude Of enter
prises that have been definitely pro-
jected during the week ending today.
A number of these involve large in
vestments, and illustrate the varied
resources Of Georgia and Alabama.
At Gadsden, Ala, furnaces which have
been idle for some time have been
placed in operation, and about $685.
600 will be expended, principally by
st. Louis capitalists, in making inn
provements and extensions. At Rock
mart, Ga, a cement plant will be es-
tablished and large deposit of ce>
ment rock will be developed. An
electric power plant will be estab-
hshed near Albany, Ga, and 10000
horsepower will be developed, to be
transmitted to nearby cities and
towns for the operation Of manufac-
tories, and for other purposes. A cot
ton mill will be built at Ashburn, Ga,
by a company which will have capital
stock of $250,000. Operations in a
brown ore mine in Northwest Geor-
gia will be enlarged extensively A
movement has been begun for the
building of an electric railway be-
tween Blakely, Ga, and a point Oh
the Chattahoochee river, where con-
nection will be made with steamboat
lines; practically all Of the required
local funds have been raised for
building an electric railway between
Dothan, Ala, and Geneva, Ala, and
the making of preliminary surveys
for an electric railway between Ma
rietta, Ga, and Atlanta, Ga, has been
ordered" "

1t is said that the administration
has arraigned the whole business COM
munitv as dishonest. I deny 1t. Inc
president has condemned the law
breakers. He has convinced those
who have unlawfully accumulated
enormous powers mat they are not
immune. He has put fear of the law
into their hearts. 1t is true that the
business men Of the community as
whole are honest and their methods
sound. The president never said 9TH
erwise. Indeed it was chiefly IN the
interest Of the great army of honest
business men that he has maze ms

Again it is said that the rate Dill
for which the administration Is re-
sponsible caused the present panic
Gould anything be more absurd! Inc
object of the rate bill was merely 10
bring the railroads under closer super
vision Of tribunal upon the COM
plants Of individuals suffering from
their injustice. The immediate effect
of its passage was a voluntary ItuN~
ton of rates. Subsequently under
normal circumstances justifying ii, the
rates Of the railroads were generally
increased. A continuance of the abuses
Of railroad management were made by
the rate bill much more difficult
But the rate bill has not had the
slightest effect upon the legitimate
business or earnings Of railroads.
Then state legislation against the
railroads is pointed to as cause Tor
shrinkage in the value of stock and
for the panic President Roosevelt
and the national administration are
not responsible for this. 1t was oc-
casioned by the same relations of law
lessness and discrimination in railroad
management that made the federal
rate bill a necessity. Instead of max
ing the panic the national policy OF
ending lawlessness of corporations in
interstate commerce by taking away
their power of issuing without super
vision stocks and bonds that will
produce a change in their management
removed one fruitful cause for the
lass Of public confidence. Shall we
permit and encourage determinations
and rebates by railroads? Is this the

whole civilization. Combinations of
capital are just as essential to pro-
gress as the assembling Of parts Of a
machine; hence corporations however
large are instruments OF progress. But
when they seek TO use their mere size
or the amount of capital which they
control to monopolize the business in
which they are engaged and to sup
press competition by methods akin
to duress they should be restrained by
law.
Again. l am earnestly opposed to
the government ownership Of inter-
state railroads that are the arterial
system Of the country. Those rail-
roads Should continue to be managed
by private corporations. Government
ownership Of railroads means state
socialism and an increase in the power
Of the central government that would
be dangerous. If the abuse Of mo-
nopoly and discrimination cannot be
restrained and concentration of power
made possible by such abuses, con-
tinues and increases, and it is man
ifest that under the system of indi-
vidualism and private property the
tyranny and oppression Of an oligar-
chy of wealth cannot be avoided. then
socialism viii triumph and the insti-
tuition of private property will perish.
THE question you have directed to
me is not whether we shall return to
condition Of unregulated railroads
and unregulated trusts. but whether
we shall maintain a strict system Of
regulation Of the railroads and trusts
or whether we shall turn the country
over to the advocates Of government

COMPETENT TESTIMONY-Dan
McDermott rises to remark that the
Buckeye country is all right. He has
often heard this stated but he never
knew until recently. from personal
observation. He has been so busy here
for the last twenty or thirty years
that he never had time To look the
Buckeye country over but not long
ago he accepted the invitation Of John
r. Norton to go down and see his 500
acre ranch under the Buckeye canal.
This was subsequent to a trip he
made to Florence with Mr.. Norton in
which the latter told him he had
more alfalfa OF his ranch than could
be seen from the train between PhOe-
nix and Florence; not larger acre
age. but more feed. Mr.. McDermott
thought it was only one Of those
prosperity stories that John tells once
in a while TO offset the things he says
when he don't feel so good. and paid
little attention to it. But when he got
down there and took a look around he
saw alfalfa waist high in a half cir
Gle as far as he could see and the
sight actually made him hungry and
wish that he was COW. He says that
if he had Mr.. Norton's ranch he would
have fine start toward a million dol
lars. Alfalfa is the Buckeye show
crop and the settlers there claim that
nowhere on earth does it grow bigger
and better and make more hay and
seed than under the Buckeye canal.
