Come Home to Roost.

The chickens of Mr.. Marcus A.
Marks, like other peoples, will come
nome TO ,roost. During the last cam
paign MIR. Marks was president OF
the National Clothiers' Association.
lie was also an aruent Republican
during the last campaigns and de-
clared that if Bryan were elected
his company and other companies
would cancel a large number of or
ders and many working men in his
trade would be thrown out of en-
ployment.
AT the special session of congress
called to consider the tariff, Mr..
Marcus A. Marks is heard from
again. He protested unsuccessfully
against Republican party legislation
by which the public must pay $780,
100000 more for garments than
they paid last year. This enormous
margin is going into the pockets Of
not more than one hundred already
enormously rich men. At least this
is what he claimed in his letter to
the President, reminding him of his
campaign pledge. Here is what Mr..
Marks said:
Relying on their influence to in
sure high protective tariff on raw
wool, the large wool men in this
country have stored away millions
of pounds of that product until the
tariff bill shall have been passed
by congress- AS result, the Amer
lean public will have to pay $780,
100000 more for its clothing. The
average prices for woolens and wors-
teds for next spring are 25 per cent
more in this country than they were
last spring. In London the wool
market of the world, prices have ad-
vanced only 6 per cent"
OF course Mr.. Marcus A. Marks
letter had no effect on President
Taft, who he was so anxious to have
elected President. Aldrich and his
gang went right on and passed the
Objectionable wooden schedule and
President Taft signed it without bat
ting his eyes. He had forgotten all
about Mr.. Marks letter of protest,
and now that gentleman realizes that
he is very small potatoes and few
in a hill when he bucks against the
great woolen trust, who. Mr.. Marks
says, will rob the people this year
out of $120, 100000 with the aid
of Aldrich, Taft, Cannon and other
Republican leaders. In the language
of Puck, what fools such mortals
as Marks are to think that his plea
for cheaper clothing would be heard
hy the leaders Of the trust owned
Republican leaders.

hing is being realized today in our

thing is being realized today in our
land.
1t is true that monopolies are not
granted by any chief executive, but
the effect is the same. The growth
of corporations until they are able
to control the whole business in
their several lines and the obtaining
of unfair land, water, mineral and
timber concessions from the gov
ernment create monopolies just as
absolute and just as vicious in their
operations as any old world or old
time monopoly granted by despotic
Kings.
To defeat and stop such system
that the public good may triumph
over private greed calls for constant
vigilance, determination and the in
telligent exercise of these legitimate
powers which the law rightly vests
in the people. In other words The
remedy is to be found IN the choice
of law makers who will honestly rep
resent the people, in supporting them
when the choice Is made, and in
promptly Furnishing who may be dis
loyal to their trust.
In the special session of Congress
called to consider the tariff question
several so-called Democrats violated
their party platform pledge and vot-
ed along with the Republicans to
give some of the trusts the right
to rob the people to greater extent
than ever before. The protective
tariff law is the great trust breeder
and protector In this country, and
any so-called Democrat who votes for
high protective duty on any article
controlled by a trust should be re-
tired and true representative Of the
people returned in his place. This
is the only way the people will ever
be able to break up the trusts that
are now robbing them out Of millions
of dollars.

South Carolina Still Leads.


Of the s115,717,O0O invested in
cotton mills in the South $4,000
900 is invested in South Carolina or
more than one-third.
OF the 11,720,1G0 spindles in the
762 Southern cotton mills, 4,404,679
are in the 152 South Carolina mills,
or more than one-third the total
number of Southern spindles.
Of the .267,43O looms in the 1852
Southern cotton mills, 96,717 are in
South Carolina mills, or again, more
than one-third.
North Carolina, with 315 mills,
has a greater number Of mills than
South Carolina, with 152 mills, but
the South Carolina mills are larger.
averaging $4,000 spindles against an
average of 10,25O spindles for the
North Carolina mills; the capital
invested in South Carolina is s40,-
100000 against s34,3s2,O0O in
North Carolina.
In other words, South Carolina
is still the leader among Southern
States in cotton manufacturing, and
in the whole Union South Carolina
is second only to Massachusetts.
The figures given above are COM
piled by the Textile Manufacturer for
its Southern Cotton Mill directory
which has just been completed. The
figures, says the Columbia Record,
dc not include any woolen mills and
no knitting mills except those spin
ming their own yarn. The territory
embraced. it Is stated, covers Texas
and Oklahoma to the west and Mis-
souri,, Kentucky and Virginia to the
rorth.
There are T62 cotton mills in the
South, with 11,720.100 spindles and
267.430 looms. The total capitiliza-
ton is S115,717,000, which is re-
markably low. being only about $40
per spindle. On basis of $40 per
spindle, which may be said to- he
! the average cost, the amount invest
ed in Southern mills Is estimated at
$4,000, 900.
The average size Of the Southern
mills is 15.400 spindles, but the aver
age for South Carolina, as stated
above, is nearly double the general
average. being $4,000 spindles.
Georgia has almost as many mills,
1873, as. South Carolina, but they
average only $4,000 spindles, which
is about half the size of the average
South Carolina mill and the total
number of spindles in Georgia is l.
90S.564:
Alabama has almost an even mil
lion spindles. which divided among
her 66 mills gives an average Of 49,
800 spindles or slightly larger than
Georgia.
These four States-South Carroll
ma, North Carolina, Georgia and
Alabama-together have 671 out of
the 1852 cotton mills in the entire
South, and in the order named they
rank in number of spindles anil capt.
tai invested.

the Textile Manufacturer, has in
our opinion just begun anl we pre-
dict that the next decade will show

mated that between SIS, 100000 and

BIG NEW BUILDING
IN MISSION STREET
Institution Will Have "a Stores
on Ground Floor

For the account Of the Sullivan es-
tate company, Bonifeld. Jeffress &
Ryan have leased to Peter Rossi the
entire building to be built by the lessor
on the property in the southeast line
of Mission street between Sixth and
Seventh.
The new building will stand on a lot
fronting S65 feet in Mission street. the
largest single improved frontage in
san Francisco. 1t contains "a stores
and a hotel of 122 rooms above, and
has been leased for five years from
the completion of the building at a
monthly rental of $3.50, making total
of $4,000 for the term.
Bonifield, Jeffress & Ryan, who have
been appointed by the lessee his ex-
elusive agents for the subletting of the
building have put the rents of the
stores at low figures, some being quoted
al $50 q month.
1t is intended by the agents to sub
let the stores 10 small merchants and
have as many separate lines of bust
ness on the property as possible. and
the aggregate will form a yeritable
emporium. The impetus thus given to
this part of Mission street as a thriv-
ing business location for retail trade
viii put it even ahead of the place 1t
held before the fire.
In the center of the building an ar
cade is planned. with bituminized pave
ment. running through TO Minna street,
opposite the end of Russ street. thus
affording an open passa geway in the
middle of the block from Mission to
Howard street.
