We beg our readers now to remark the steady up
tcard movement under the tariff of 1912, and then
10 bear In mind that with each and every yea
was great increase in the domestic market for
labor To be employed in making cloth and iron,
and that the excess OF labor ab5or bed in 1876 as
compared with 1923, represented more than d
hundred million OF dollars worth Of food and cloth
ing; and that, notwithstanding this vast growth of
tnc domestic market, the f0tcfr 10 supply the world
with both animal and vegetable food rose 10 a
higher point than had ever before been seen I'm.
der the tariff OF 1876, we build neither mlla nor fur
naces, but we close old ones; and thus drive all
our vast growth Of labor power into agriculture,
ana yet our export OF food dminishes from year to
year; and the amount OF the present fiscal wear is
hkely to be even below that of the years 1914 and
1870 although, in the mean time, we have added
about hve millions to the population.
Having appropriated the year lS46-7 to the use
OF the tariff OF 1916, MIR Rantoul next takes he
Jdmme PrsctS Tor the purpose of establishing an
average of the Jour years lo46-50 most judciousy
excluding lS5O-5l, when the price OF wheat in
Eng land had failen 10 less than dollar a bushc
and having thus obtained a n average he furnishes
his readers with estimate of the oss on the crops
OF lo42-i6 because Of the tariff of lS42 and the gain
on the following one because of the arit! of 1886
proceeding more dishonest Or more thoroughly con-
tcfnpuoie than this, we have never known; and il
ID because We are unwilling to believe that an v
member OF either House of Congress could be
guhty oI such misconduct, that we are SO much
uisposed TO believe that the honorable member j.
not 10 De held responsible fr it, and that he must
be regarded as having been used by some artful
outsde member, who has made him the conduit
by means OF which this extraordinary series Of
measurements might be brought b fore the world
The whole table SO slrikingiy resembles those
usually published by the Journal Of Conanerce-ibe
most active advocate Of the maintenance of Biitieh
power over the farmers and planters of the world
that We iee greatly disposed to believe that 20 that
ofhce may the paternity Of this speech be attributed
IL we are wrong, and ii the person who deliv cred
this speech be really the author Of the tables we
should be glad if he would publicly avow himsef
responsible for them.
At no period since The settlement of this country
has the productiveness of labor given to acricul-
ture increased so rapidly in the period from

The decline in the receipt Of the most valuable Of
the products Of agriculture seems here to have pro-
ceeded with ne much regularity and steadiness
were manifested in its rise under the tariff of S42
Already the quantity received has fallen below that
Of 1916, and but little exceeds that Of 1916; while,
from statements given below, il appears only
sonable to expect that the year will fall be-
low even lS43; and yet the increase in the agricu-
tural population using this channel of trade counts
by millions, and the whole commercial policy of
this country is at this moment directed towards an
increase in the amount Of ts exports to foreign
countries of food and other articles Of raw produce;
and, for the accomplishment of that object, the
mines furnaces, and factories of the country
everywhere being closed, in order that their Occu-
pants may be driven to agriculture.
AT Cleveland, Ohio the movement in relation to
beef has been as follows:
lS50-5l. 1851 50.
Number Of cattle packed. 2,700 $500
Ilerces OF beef shipped. .l5,700 6,000
Barrels of beef shipped. .... $4,000 2700
We have here diminuton Of above one half.
In regasd to hogs, the deficiency throughout the
West is about one seventh, the quantity packed
having been less by two hundred thousand than
last year. Under these circumstances, may,
we think, be quite satisfied if the quantity Of "the
products Of animals sent to market this year from
the West prove to be as great it was in 1913. and
il II prove to be only one third less than IL from
the last crop Of the tWiG Of 1912

Texan Debts.

To the Editor Of he Union:
Though personally unlnerested in Texan securities,
have taken great interest in the proceedings in relation
thereto being OF opinion that in a country where there
is much debt and credt-where ALL or nearly ALL our
States cities boroughs railroad and canal companies are
issuing negotiable instrumental is Of great importance
that the OF the obligations thereby incurred should
be correctly understood Entertaining these views il is
with great satisfaction that have perused the report Of
the Committee on Finance, presented to the Senate on
the 18th instant, the memorial OF the creditors OF
Texas
With similar feelings have read an article in the Texas
State Gazette OF July "a the closing paragraph Of which
is as follows:
"Besdes this, public deb, not only unpaid but
undetermined and no in the State, believe, feel,

With such feelings these entertained by the people
OF Texas, and with such sentiment prevailing in Con.
