more plainly: If a steer is slaughtered
after a journey of, say 5000 miles, his
weight is probably four hundred pounds
below what it would be after fattening.
The British farmer who could, SO to
say, produce this four hundred pounds
at = very small cost by stall feeding,
is at present the loser by this entire
amount.
All classes in England know that
they have everything to gain and moth
ing to lose by the live stock
trade. To the working classes it means
a reduction in the price of one of the
necessaries of life, which reduction i
equivalent to an actual rise of wages.
To the farmer it is as contrasted with
the trade in dead meat a mean of
profit, and in this the landlord class
share, their gain taking the shape of
rent. The whole community profit
equally with the working class in the
cheapening Of meat.
/ am happy to state that the latest
intelligence from England is reassuring.
If proper provision is made, on this
side the water against the export of
diseased cattle, the present veto will be
but of short continuance.

ARBITRATION in England doesn't
always insure success in the settlement
Of the differences between capital and
labor. With but n or two exceptions,
the awards have been made uniformly
in favor of capital. 1t cannot be
dered that the workingmen have lost
all confidence in this peaceful and easy
means of Strengthening the crooked.
When boards of arbitration say that
labor is always wrong, they have misin-
terpreted their mission. 1t cannot be
that labor is never in the right. And
the action Of English boards in declar-
ing them uniformly on the wrong side,
won't convince the people eitherof Eng
land or America. We are ready to
grant that the workingmen are always
on the weaker side, but that fact does
not justify the stronger in imposing
selfish edicts.

Then the expectation of Gillian wheat

A Trick That Beat lhat Yankees.

A well-dressed and gentlemanly-look-
ing mar drove up in an open baronche
in front of the state house at Hart
ford, Ct, Friday, and opened a sale of
trinkets of n kind and another. He
soon gathered round him a large crowd,
who bought freely, as great induce
ments were offered. A ten dollar bill
was sold for nine dollars; the nine dol
lars for eight dollars the eight dollars
was sold for ven dollars, and so ON. A
p~ocketbook was sold for five dollars, and
bought back at six dollars. The crowd
increased. 1t was evidence that they
had struck a big bonanza. Everything
that was sold was bought back at an
advanced price, and finally the man put
up a lot of pocketbooks. He said they

EXPLOITATION OF CATTLE.
A View Of the Trade with England,
by a Big Stock Man.

To The Editor Of the Leader:
1t is from no wish to commence a
newspaper controversy that / ask to be
allowed space for a few remarks upon
an article, in your issue Of Thursday,
headed ''rhe English Cattle Trade, 'but
as an Englishman engaged in the stock
business here, it may well happen, that
any leaning towards my own govern
ment, will be more than equalized by de-
sires for personal profit. Let me howev-
er, say, that much as deplore the late
action of our Privy Council, l still must
claim for it Legislative fairness. You,
Mr.. Editor are, pardon me, looking at the
matter through spectacles of western
manufacture.
You must remember that within
eleven years our herds in England have
been twice decimated by imported rim
derpest, that beyond this, frequent local
outbreaks of pleuro-pneumonia have
kept the agricultural interest in a
state Of perpetual alarm. 1t is signii-
cant too, that those outbreaks have been
particularly prevalent in the counties
of Kent, Sussex, Surrey and Essex,
which geographically are most open to
the importation of diseased cattle from
Holland and the low countries.
You state that leading veterinarians
agree that no contagious pleuro-pneu-
monia exists in America but l forward
you a long and interesting report from
the Chicago Tribune, of May the It'll, in
which Prof. Law, of Cornell university,
states that this disease prevails from
the Hudson to the James river, Vir-
ginia, that not only is it contagious
but it has In every instance owed its
origin to imported cattle, and that
only those countries are entirely free
from it which-like the channel islands
and Brittany-have never possessed an
import trade. We western breeders,
sir, are living in a FOOLS paradise; this
insidious disease may any day appear
here, imported with fresh stock from
the states; should it once gain a foot
hold among these immense western
herds, it is impossible to overestimate
the extent of its ravages.
To suggest that the present govern
ment of Great Britain would have estab-
lished this embargo except from a sense
OF its absolute necessity, is to suppose
that with a general election imminent,
they have set themselves deliberately to
ALLEVIATE popular support. The effect
of this veto has been to raise the price OF
beef and in consequence that large body
of the community who are very little
about the position of parties, but very
much about the price of food, have YET
another grievance to lay at the door Of
the present administration.
The British farmer. himself, SO fai
from being benefited by this action, is
an actual loser; foreign beef still bear.
down the market and being slaughtered
in the ports the farmer loses the i'm
mense profits he would otherwise secure
by stallfeeding, not only for the home,
but the continental market. He, moi
the exporter, is thereby losing on every
beast thus slaughtered, an amount of
wealth representing the difference be-
tween the actual andthe possible weight
minus only the cost Of fattening. Do ]

travelling is Extra.aazardous

IT the tourist is u~nprovided with some medi-
cinal resource. Changes of temperature, food
and water of an unaccustomed or
some quality, and n route that lies in the
tropics or other regions where malaria ex-
lists, are each and all fraught with danger to
one who has been improvident enough TO
neglect a remedial safeguard. The concur
rant testimony of many voyageurs by LAID
and sea establishes the fact that Hosfetter's
Stomach Bitters enables those who use 1t to
encounter hazards OF the nature referred TO
with impunity; and that, as a medicine
adapted TO sudden and unexpected exigsn.
cies, IL Is peculiarly valuable. Disorders of
the liver. the bowels and the stomach, fever
and ague, rheumatism and nervous ailments,
brought on by exposure, are among the main-
dies to which emigrants, travellers and new
settlers are most subject. These and others
yield to the action Of the Bitters promptly
and completely.

-SMoTHERING CATTLE.

Canada recently resounded with the
howl of Indignation over the transit of
American cattle through her domain.
She reasoned that as pleuro-pneumonia
existed in the eastern part of the
United States it might have spread
through the western portion also.
Therefore the shipment of American
cattle from Canadian ports would pre-
judice their home cattle trade with
England. Well, in a short time Cana
da learned that the dread disease did
not affect western cattle, and the order
of prohibition might have been revoked
had not pride and the Canadian stock
breeders objected. or late the breed
ers and shippers have had things their
own way. The former are really la
boring for the welfare of their business,
formation from Montreal furnishes the
answer. On Saturday of last week a
steamship sailed from that city for an
English port, having on board 100 cat
tie wedged into q space 42x50 feet. just
think of this; 100 cattle confined in a
hole containing only 2,100 square feet
of standing room, or 81 square feet per
head. This would allow an average
space of 3x7 feet for each beeve. Was
the "Black Hole of Calcutta worse?
Suppose now we figure on the quantity
of room for air these poor cattle have:
The apartment cannot be more than
eight feet high-a liberal estimate.
This gives 6 $500 cubic feet as the ca
pacity of the hole. The cattle take up
space with their bodies. We have left
then as actual room for air, only 1,200
cubic feet, or, liz cubic feet for each
beeve, just equivalent to fastening the
head of a steer in a box about Al feet
square and of the same depth. Accord
ing to Carpenter, the ordinary respira-
ton of a human being is 20 cubic
inches. So that if cattle had no great
er breathing capacity than men, these
100 cattle exhaust the air in their pen
in a little while The reader
can easily see how that a constant and
strong current of air is absolutely nee
essary to sustain life under these cir
cumstances. Human beings require
800 cubic feet of air every day under
ordinary systems of ventilation. If
cattle required no more, these 100 poor
brutes must have $4,000 cubic feet
furnished them daily. Is it given
them?
We have gone into figures more
largely than necessary in this case, per-
haps, but it is well to know just what
breathing room is necessary. Can it
be wondered that disease will grow on
the cattle in question during their fort
nights journey? They are certain to
be afflicted, to what degree will be
learned when they land. Probably
American" cattle will be charged
with having disease. At any rate the
shipment will do no good for the cattle
trade of this hemisphere.
Our information states that the gov
eminent Inspector withheld his certifi-
cate. Wonderfully faithful officials.
Why didn't he prohibit the departure
of the cattle under such sickening con-
ditionsp OF what use is an inspector if
he cannot right that which is wrong!
or stop the manufacture of lung dis
ease? But the facts are as we state
them. O'errighteous Canada forbids
a small thing, but tolerates a giant and
| ruinous evil,
