British Food supplies.

The New York Bulletin has an elaborate ar
ticle on the food supplies Of Great Britain,
from which we take the following:
In 1867 the number of cattle, sheep and pigs
in the United Kingdom was 46,700,000, while
in 1877 it had fallen to 45000O00. decrease OF
Inducements afforded by high prices for ami
NAL food During the same period the popu-
ation had risen from 30,334,00o to 33, ,444, 900,
an increase Of 10A per cent. Carrying the
comparison some years further BACK, the dls,
parity between the increase Of population and
that of food imports Is still more striking.
In 1859 the population of the kingdom was
2S, 800 O0O and in 1877 33, ,444 900, which shows
an increase during the eighteen years OF II
per cent; while, during the, same, PERIOD the
imports of animal food and cereals rose from
G24, $4,000 to G99692,000 an increase OF 3o9
per cent.
It appears that the Britis sh importations Of
these commodities have risen from IT'S per
head of population in 1859 to G2 los "a in 1877.
According, therefore, to the per capita stand
ard of estimate the increase in importations,
since 1885, has been $50 per cent. The con-
sumption OF foreign food has risen from $40
family fan in 1877. This fairly indicates the ex-
tent to which Great Britain has become rela-
lively non-agricuitural country in consti-
tuting herself manufacturing country NO
country has so directly benefited by this
change Of commercial policy y,naSaostht as the {,
portion of Englands. external supplies
Of cereal and animal food goes from
this country, and there is no reason for
supposing that this market for our products
has reached the maximum of its demand. At
any rate, there Is ample room for our availing
ourselves much more extensively Of this de-
mand; for while England imported last year
$500, 900, 600 of these articles we exported
thther during the year ending June 30, 1877,
only s15OoOOooo of them; which leaves a
margin of 5O,00o,000 open for our competl,-
ton. Large, therefore, as we have been wont
to consider our trade with England in food
staples, yet there is ample room for our ex'
tending it, provided we can successfully COM
pete with other agricultural countries in the
costs of production and transportation

H. MEXICAN BORDER.
Mexicans Organizing to Resist Wacken~
z1e-PrOspects of q Collision.

New York Herad.]
SAN ANTONIO, July 3O-The frontier tele-
graph brings us news that the ranch men,
raiders and ruling spirits Of the Mexican
towns on the Texas border are being organ
lied and armed ostensibly to resist pursuit Of
raiding parties by our troops. This, to
casual observer, seems merely a defensive
measure; but really it means and must lead
to great deal more. There has been
quite famine Of late through Northern
where these pelado battalions are or
ganizing and arming, and horses and
cattle are still scarcer: The newly assigned
commanders at some Of these towns are well
known bandits and outlaws, leaders of the
identical thieves and murderers about whom
so much complaint has been made. These
are men who consider it virtue to round up
and run off to Mexico q nice lot OF Texan
beeves or horses, and now that they have
arms, organization and the prestige of being
in the service OF the Mexican government,
with orders to attack anything Yankee that
shows itself, the raids, instead Of decreasing,
will take a new start, and assume the import
ance OF invasions by organized Mexican
Mexican frontier, and commanded by the
most unscrupulous and at the same time
energetic stealers Of the border, with Mexican
commissions in their pockets.
That they will be allowed to clean out the
border counties of Texas, and recapture
the country between the Nueces river and the
Rio Grande, as they threaten to do, is ex-
ceedngly doubtful. That country is fast fill
ing up with Northern farmers, besides large
sprinkling of Englishmen and Germans-set-
tiers who will hardly allow the Mexican ban
ditti to ride rough shod over them. No very
vivid Imagination is needed to perceive what
must be the inevitable result OF a growing
bitterness on our side and growing greed
Joined to increased power On the other. The
Mexican freebooters have nothing to lose by
war. The positive orders our troops have to
follow raiders across the river (which, if it
means anything, means to attack when over
taken( and the positive orders of the Mexican
troops to attack us every time we cross,

The Men Who Want Him President Again

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-The Sae,s's Washington
special On the possible denomination Of Grant
by the Republicans, says: "The scheme re-
quires delicate political engineering. Money
alone can furnish the driving power, and tftaS
money, knowing ones aver, is to be fortheon-
ing. They point with pride to Mackeys Orien-
tai reception Of Grant in Paris. They say the
silver and railroad kings Of Nevada and Cali
fornia are alarmed. They fancy that the
Labor Reformers will despoil them of
their wealth. Mackey makes no secret
OF his fears, and Stanford, Crockar,
Hayward, Jones, Sharon and others ar8
prepared to follow his footsteps With
Grant in the chair at the White House, they
think their accumulations would be secure.
No constitutional barriers would stand is his
way when his friends were In danger. He
has frequently used the army without author
ity, and would not scruple to do so again. I'm
conversation in Virginia City last spring.
Mackey is reported to have said, 4 will give
a million dollars to secure Grant the Repub-
lican nomination, and another million to CONF
pass his election, and once in the White
House, will give million to keep him there
for life He added that this might seem
strange talk, but he would put up the money!

manipulators of railroad lands, and they are
