At the presidential election of 1880
the average ratio of votes cast to popu-
lation in the fifty-nine leading cities of

says: $50 far as I could gather, it is
generally conceded that whenever an
inspection Of our pork is made under
careful governmental supervision, SINH
lar to that now made by tho German
authorities, there will be no objection to
it's sale in Germany. Indeed, it strikes
me that were such inspection made
there would be such q strong pressure
brought to bear upon the German gov.
eminent by their own people that the
embargo would be speedily removed.
This requirement seems to be reason
able. and honest packers and exporters
might govern themselves accordingly.
