made large reductions on some of their
" estimated values of the Ingredients of
fertilizers for 1884.
Nitrogen in ammonia salts reduced
FROM. .........................26 to 22 cents.
Nitrogen in nitrates reduced from.... 20 tolls cents.
Nitrogen in organic substances reduced
FROM. % to Is cents.
Phosphoric acid, soluble in water"
reduced FROM ..................l 21a to 10 cents.
Phosphoric acid in fine ground rock
reduced from... neutrality-suspicious.. ga to "a cents.
This is doing we'll, though it is not
doing enough. As long as experiments
on small scale show that "soluble 1"
phosphoric acid can be made by the
farmer himself, to cost only six or seven
cents, and as long as it is well known that
it does not cost fertilizer makers over
three cents when made from rock, or
five cents when made from bone, ten
cents is yet twenty-five per cent too
high. In nitrogen there is no rea-
son whatever to make any difference
between that in ammonia salts and that
in nitrates or organic substances (dried
blood, meat, fish, etc.,, except that the
gas-works ring keep up the price of the
sulphate of ammonia they make. The
stations have done we'll in this reduction,
but they have still left good chance for
another.

THE CATTLE DISEASE IN TIE
WEST,

There is much reasonable alarm in
the West over the alleged appearance
of the foot aud mouth disease among
the cattle. 1t first showed itself In
Kansas, but cases are now reported in
Illinois, northeast Missouri and else.
where. Congress has been urged t. make
an appropriation to enable the States
in which the disease has gained foot
hold to fight it, and the Kansas Legis-
lature will soon meet in extra session to
take action ABOUT it.
Dispatches to the Leaveuworth Times
from Neosha Falls, Kansas, where tue
disease has made its appearance, say
that the excitement over it there has
been allayed 70 some extent because the
people have become convinced that 1t
Is not so highly contagious as the
surgeons have reported. One herd OF
cattle is cited in which the disease
made its appearance five or six weeks
age, and yet only eight animals have
shown any signs of infection. The Owl
creek herd was also attacked aud but
fourteen of the one hundred have been
infected. The surgeons say the disease
appears four days, at the longest, after
exposure. Some experts declare that
the malady is not foot and mouth dis
ease. Probably, however, the opinions
of the surgeons should be depended
upon "a they speak from an intelligent
knowledge o. the disease, while the
farmers and herders have only their
own experience to go on.
No steps should be neglected In the
n after of quarantiniug infected herds
and stamping out the plague, as the
spread of the latter would not only re-
suit in immense loss to the cattle rails
ers but would give England and other
European powers ground for further
discriminating action against American
cattle. 1t is already reported that Eng
fish farmers are taking advantage Of the
reports concerning the appearance OF
the foot and mouth disease in Kansas
to make demands of their government
for the exclusion of American cattle.
Tie English people will, OF course, re-
sist stubbOrnly any action that will re-.
suit in making beef dear, but 1t Is posi-.
ole that the spread ofthe disease in this
country would greatly affect the market,
temporarily at least, and create much
trouble. Prompt and thorough quar-
antining of the infected herds would
PROFESSIONALLY very soon dispose Of
his threatened evil.

Wise Move ON the Part OF the Demo
cratic Committee.
Monroe Co. Watchma'


The Democratic Executive Committee
has published q call for convention to
meet in Charleston in April next, for the
purpose OF selecting delegates to the Chi
cago Convention, and also arranging for
the best means Of conducting the campaign
in this State. This is certainly a prsdent
and well timed move, and We trust this
convention will be largely attended by rep
resentative Democrats from every portion
of the State. We well know that this State
is largely and pretty securely Democratic,
but we also know whereof we speak,"
when we say that the Republican party is
making arrangements in Washington to
food this State with such an army Of cam.
paign orators as we have never heard OF
before, and it is necessary that we not
only take every precaution to meet them,
but to make arrangements for an active
and vigorous canvass, and to fully impress
upon the party the necessity of putting
for ward our very best men for State and
county officers.
This year it is necessary especially in
our local and county conventions that we
should come together not as mere part:-
Fans trying to nominate this or that man,
but as patriotic and intelligent citizens,
make cur nominations for the best interest
Of the party and the entire country, and
after our nominations have been made go
Faithfully to work TO elect them.

through the House, and it is more than
prol able that there will be no tariff bill
Of any kind passed by that body. The
whole question will go over for the
Presidential contest, with both sides
dod SiDg IL as far Is possible.
That the tariff rs greatly weakenei
among the agricultural Republicans OF
the West "a well rs among the import
Ing Republicans OF the East, Is now
fully realized by the Republican lead
ers. One of the most influential Re
publican leaders of the West, speaking
of the tar II lately, said that protection
was fast losing its hold among the agrl-
cultural States Of the West.
Last d. cember there was every lndl-
cation that the tariff would be the con'
trolling issue in 1884; but Democratic
divisions have overwhelmed the Demo
cratic free traders and Republican Ill
visions have appalled, Republican pro-
tectionis.s, and the tariff issue IS more
confused aud uncertain now than II
has been for u quarter OF q century.
Both parties now fear the tariff issue,
and every indication now points 70 ah-
bigioHs platforms on the subject from
both Conventions.

CONGRESS AND raE BUSINESS OF
TIE COUNTRY. .r

Outside Of the action Of the House on
the currency bills there is no present In
dleation Of Congress doing anything to
relieve the pressure upon the business OF
the country. 1t is true it Is not imme-
dlately urgent. Nevertheless, some
thing should be done in regard to the
contraction of the bank note circula-
ton. There are now two bills before
Congress looking to this end. The first
Is the MCPHERSON bill, authorizing the
national banks to issue circulation equal
In amount to the par value OF the bonds
deposited as security. The other Is the
POTTER two and-s-half per cent fund
ing bill. So far, however, no definite
action has been taken upon 1t, nor
upon the LOWELL bankruptcy bill, al
though it has been reported fsvorsbly
rom the committee. From what is
said of this measure by leading Demo-
cratic and Republican opinion it is not
probable that it will pass-at the pres
ent session anyway. The business pun
lie Is apparently unable to agree
upon it.
There is still another not less impor-
tant measure before Congress, which IS
intimately connected with the business
interests Of the country. We mean the
Shipping bill. That something should
be done to relieve our commercial de-
preston upon the sea, by enabling US
to build shipping in this country for
foreign trade, and to allow registry for
foreign built ships, when owned by
resident Americans, is too obvious to
require argument. Yet We are forced to
admit that Congress is apparently too
deeply interested In purely political
discussion to allow this 10 be done. The
Republicans are turning all their atten-
ton to sectional issues, and the Demo-
Gratis giving exclusive consideration to
purely economic questions. One graft
fying fact, however, is apparent. 1t
seems certain that an Interstate COM
merce bill in some form will pass. The
Reagan bill, as reported, should become
a law. 1t is what the people want
clear-cut, unevasive hostility to monop-
oily a measure that demands body tn:
rights of the people and will submit to
nothing less. There is one other ques-
ton which Congress must decide:
What shall be done with the surplus
revenue? A failure to dispose OF This
means continuance Of the present
commercial and industrial entagle-
ment.

make a better fight for not entering the
contest with an assurance OF easy victory
There are live issues yet which they may
ut on the right side OF. The exceeding
rsmeness of Arthur's foreign policy may
give the Democrats chance to make cap
iIal on the issue.
Columbus, o., Times -There is gla-
mour surrounding the name OF Secretary
of War Lincoln that would be dissipated
by a Presidential canvass. He would stand
forth as the very ordinary offspring OF an
lllustrious man. This is scarcely the age

merely to commemorate his father.

the Western Reserve in Ohio Is said to be
promoted by his known friendliuess to the
late Gen. Garfield, whom the Republicans
greatly admired and beloved. In every
farm house Blaines splendid eulogy on
he dead President can be found, and the
