Iron Maklnu In February

February was short month, but the American stacks turned out in it 1,079,- 721 tons of pig iron, as against 1,O45,- 25O tons in the long month of January. Eight furnaces were blown in during February and on March 1 there were 150 coke and anthracite stacks in op- eration, and they are making iron at the rate of about 13.oo0,0O0 tons a year.
 The production in this district in February was 91,200 tons, as against S1.941 tons in January. We had at the beginning of the present month IS stacks in operation, gain of 3 in a months time. In October last we had 31 stacks in blast, and in that month they produced 146,354 tons. The diff ference between Octobers production and Februarys is considerable, but if the demand calls for the iron that diff ference will be overcome.
 It is not plain, however, when that happy event will take place, for the gains in demand are not large. The changes are, however, in that direc- tion, and that Is some comfort in all ranks of iron and steel workers. The effort to hold prices up to reason able level is still going on, and it's outcome is still watched with interest in the various grades of the great in. dustry, and if it prove successful it will at least demonstrate what or. ganization can accomplish in uncanny times.

Freiuht Rates and Livinu Expenses

Railroad rates do not enter largely into the cost of living. They do not increase to any considerable extent the cost of the necessities of life. The freight rate, for example, on barrel of Pittsburg's best flour from Mime apols to Birmingham is just about 40 cents, thus enabling dealer to secure that flour laid down here at about S5.25 a barrel. It is retailed at $750 a bar rel. The freight-rate on sugar is one- quarter of cent; on oil it Is little less than a cent a gallon; on meats less than one-half of cent a pound: on canned goods from one-third to one- half of a cent a can; on clothing cents for a suit and cents for an overcoat.
 The freight rate does not therefore affect materially the cost of commo- dity to a consumer. The great differ tuCcb DcIWcou pllCeb at pUiuIS Ol origin and prices to consumers are due tosthe profits desired by middlemen- by wholesale men, retail men, com mission men, agents, and what not. We'll nigh per cent is added to the price at a point of origin, and what ever plan is adopted for decreasing the cost of the necessities of life should look, first of all to a lessening of middlemen between the point of or igin and the consumer.
 There are some articles, for exam pie coal, upon which the freight rate does not make or unmake retail prices. It has precious little influence over them. It neither puts prices up nor down. The middleman attends to that branch of the business.

Hest We Earnet'

One of the most important questions that ever came up for settlement in Alabama related to the adoption of the constitution of 1901, for that in strument not only eliminated the negro from politics in this state, and wrote white supremacy across the shield of the commonwealth, there to remain forever, but it abolished for all time to come frauds in elections in this state which were corrupting the body polite.
 When this constitution was promul- gated by the constitutional convention and was ready to be submitted to the people there arose very considerable opposition to it. Some of the leading men of the state were opposed to it. The state executive committee in look ing around for some one to make a fight for its adoption selected Oscar w. Underwood as chairman of the campaign committee, without solicita- tion or request on his part, and it au- thorized him to appoint his own cam paign committee and to make a fight for the adoption of the new instru- ment He did so and was successful.
 It was a hazardous fight, there being strong opposition all along the line. MT. Underwood's entire political career was at stake when he undertook it. Failure on his part would have un- horsed him in Alabama politics. The opponents of the constitution would have claimed that he intended to dis franchise the white people of the state. He knew all these things. but still he responded to the demand of the democratic party, sinking self in 1t and striving to the uttermost until the hour of victory came
 It Is impossible to overrate MT. Un- derwood's patriotism in this emer- gency. Few at this day know how great the peril of defeat was. Many were convinced the new constitution would be voted down, and to the last hour of the conflict it's fate hung in the balance. And yet nothing in re- cent years has been so beneficial to the people of Alabama, for it estab- lished to the end of time white suprem- acy here, and eliminated frauds at the states ballot boxes. Surely the peo- pie of the Ninth Congressional district will not overlook the fight that MT. Underwood organized and led for the adoption of the new constitution. They surely will not.

A WONDERFUL CLOCK.

Far out on the prairie in the south western part of Chicago, hidden by rude boarding of frame house, stands a clock so intricate that 1t ranks among the most remarkable achievements of the clockmakers art ini America It is one of the most accomplished clocks in tho world, lneal descendant of the famous old-world clock of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. It is a bit of me- dieval romanticism, a survival of the days when the workman created for the love of his creature, and not entirely for the practical vaule of the object which he made So writes Anne Hard in the Technical World Magazine for March.
 Thousands of travellers have made a pilgrimage to see the famous. clock of Strassburg which, set in a commanding position. and beautifully decorated. rep resents the passage of time in minutes, hours, seconds, months, days, weeks. and years, and has wonderful automata who bow and open doors and bells that ring and "a cock that crows.
 The story of this remarkable clock makes interesting reading, and the au- thor has given good feature of the busy old clofk-makers devotion of the strange life work Excellent photo graphs of the clock, inside and out, &C., company the text.

Tax.a6 Sleek GambIinu

Congressman Hepburn's bill to break up stock gambling is a pretty effective measure. It imposes tax of one-half of one per cent on transac- lions where payment is made in full, and tax of 50 cents a share on all margin transactions. For example, a purchaser of 1000 shares at $10o a share would pay $1o0,ooO for the stock and S50O'tax. If he bought 1000 shares on q margin of $10.oOO he would stiu pay the $500 tax.
 The Hepburn bill does not relate to grain or cotton transactions, and 1t would, as law, have tendency to drive speculation to the grain pit in Chicago or the nets set to catch vic tims in the New York cotton exchange. It is not easy. therefore, to see any clear gain in the bill as 1t stands.
 The bill has not pssAcd the House. and If 1t is to go through and become law # should first be amended so That 1t will cover cotton and grain

Minnescta's Action
times.

It is not necessary to seek for the cratic state committee of Minnesota. By a vote of 6S yeas and 23 nays it voted to present the name of Gov John A. Johnson as a favorite son. A state committee is not organized, as rule, for the purpose of forestalling the action of the party in state, and it is very plain It's action will have small effect on the democrats in the various precincts. Delegates are to be elected to a convention which. is to be held May IA This convention is to select delegates to Denver, and long before May IA the futility of favor ite son in Minnesota will be so ap- parent that he who runs may read.
 The action in Minnesota will, how ever, be made much of by the New York World and by the interests" who desire to defeat MT. Bryan. Predatory wealth in all sections of the country is lined up against the Ne braskan, and the news from Minnesota Is the only comfort they have received in long time. It will be worked for all it is worth and more too.
 The unauthorized action of the state committee of Minnesota has broken the harmony that existed in the demo- cratic party. Harmony is very need ful. Recruits are wanted this year, and recruiting can best be carried on by harmonius party. But the break in the reign of harmony Is not serious, and the chances are very good that on May IA the vote of the state on the British border will be cast for William Jennings Bryan.

AN INDIAN ON ART.

From the San Francisco Call.
 A member of San Francisco's art fra ternity had good luck to visit Washington some weeks ago and behold the famous Congressional library in all it's rare and exquisite beauty. While he stood at the foot of the great staircase, lost in admi- ration of the noble architectural lines or the building and the harmonious loveli- ness of the wonderful bas-reliefs and friezes, he observed an Indian, black haired, piercing eyed and blanketed after the fashion of his ancestors, enter the vast rotunda. Walking slowly to the cen- ter of the entrance hall, he advanced still farther to the staircase, placed one grimy hand gingerly upon the broad balustrade. ands turning to the artist, who had per ceived all his actions with lively curios- ity, he opened his lips and spoke three words only, but it is doubtful if the won derful library will ever echo words os greater or more unaffected appreciation The Indian and the artist stood face to face, and the artists eyes. fell before the savages question. He had asked simply

Three Years Hence.

''In this year of comparative quiet In the business world Birmingham will more than hold it's own, and 1909 will find us in new era of prosperity that will beat any former record" said a manufact- urer.
 T never felt so absolutely sure of Bir- mingham's future as I do today.
 '1n the early stages of our history panics were followed by very hard times. After the depression of the 90 s this town had practically to start over again. But great strides have been made since then. Birmingham has become solid; 1t has acquired a great deal of wealth, and It's improvement in every direction has been marvellous.

This in itself would be desirable. This is what Senator Johnson is striving to accom- plish by an amendment of the Aldrich bill.
