The Rocky Mountain NeUS of yester-
day says that j. r. johnson, of Denver,
has just returned from the infected cattle
district ofKansas, and asserts thattherc is
no foot and mouth disease in that state,
and probably never was. The causes that
led to the affection among the two herds
near Neosho Falls was nothing more nor
less than filth. So far as its being con-
tagious hat was ali folly. The gentleman
said that the men who own the two herds
in question know no more about taking
care of stock than a countcrjumper does
of tanning a deer hide. They haven't
taken the first step themselves to cure
their animals, and appear to be waiting for
the legislature to make a good, healthy
appropriation, so that they could get a
good price for their animals. The Ordi-
nary cattle man, when he discovers an
animal diseased with a supposed contagion,
will destroy it at once. But these people
don't appear to care. He talked with
Lieutenant Governor Finney, and from
him learned that the lieutenant governor
himself owned a considerable herd, but
that they were in a perfectly healthy con
dition. He favored the purchase and
burning of the animals by that state, al
though he, in company with the several
veterinary surgeons who had made an in,
spection of the animals, pronounced that
course as unnecessary, but it should be

Juvenile pelinnuents.

BosToN, March pa gang of fifteen
boys were arrested in south Boston last
night, and their leader was held for an
examination for many small larcenies
charged against then, the raids being
planned in an old cellar which they called
their den. Coleman O'Donnell, the lead
ing spirit, is sixteen years old, and is said
to have recently been released from the
reformatory institution. The ages of the
others range from twelve to fifteen years.
They had a peculiar language known only
to the members of the gang, and for
hours mistifed the officers of the station
with their conversation.

No Foot and Mouth Disease.

CHICAGO, March 2O.-Simon Beattie,
a representative of the Breeders Gazette
of this city, telegraphs the associated
press tonight from Neosho Falls, Kansas,
where he has been investigating the re-
ported cases of foot and mouth disease as
follows: Il visited two herds of the most
affected in this district to-day and found
them much the same as those in Iowa and
Illinois. 1 don't see any indication of
the contagious foot and mouth disease in
them and | am satisfied there is none
There are two professors, two veterinarians
and two prominent cattle men here. L
think they are weakening some from the
opinion previously expressed.

A resolution declaring Garrison entitled
to a seat was unanimously adopted and
that gentleman appeared and took the
oath of Office.
The conference report on the military
academy appropriation bill was taken up
and agreed to. The bill, as passed, APP
propriates 1914, SIG.
Ryan asked consent to refer the senate
bill for the eradication of the foot and
mouth disease to the committee on agri-
culture, with leave to report at any time.
Mills objected to the latter part and the
bill must take the usual course.
The morning hour being dispensed with
the house went into committee of the
whole, Dorsheimer in the chair, on the
bonded whisky extension bill. =
Its features were explained by Willis,
who declared the failure to pass the bill
meant bankruptcy and ruin to many of
the most important and influential firms
in Kentucky and throughout the west. 1t
meant bankruptcy and ruin, not only to
manufacturers but to the innocent holders
of whiskey 1t meant bankruptcy and
ruin to many of the leading banking i'm
terests in the west. There had been a
shrinkage in grains and stocks in the last
few years amounting to billions of dollars.
There had been a shrinkage of S60, 000,-
600 in the value of this ware-housed prop
erty. England, one of the great pur-
chasers of our grain had, during the last
year, supplied herself from India with
one-third of all the grain she needed, and
it was predicted hat in less than three
years she would be Independent of the
United States. What would become of
the hundreds of millions of bushels of
grain raised in this country which was not
consumed in England. If this bill failed
and if these distilleries were closed and
the demand cut down the time would
come again when the farmers would burn
their corn for fuel in the western states.
Blount said the house was asked to ex-
tend the time of payment of the tax on
10000 900 gallons of whisky, the sum
involved amounting to SOC, 900, 900.
The present depression in the whiskey
interest resulted from an over production.
He did not believe this bill was going to
remedy the evil. On the contrary the
extension would only aggarvate the evil.
The time is not far distant when the
country will be in a condition to repeal
the internal revenue taxes. Suppose that
in 1887 hat they were repealed. By
that time taxes on bonded whisky IF Thu
bill passed. would amount to 5000, DOC, 00C
and congress would be asked to grant {
rebate on these taxes.
Cox, of New York, delivered an elabo
rate speech on the general subject of tn,
tariff and revenue laws. He supported
the Morrison bill and said the conserva
tive opinion of the country demanded
reaction in the present tariff. He ad
mitted there was some divisions in tn
party on the question, but trusted tina
they would be reconciled.
As tomorrow is private bill day and
will require a two-thirds vote to take u
the bonded extension bill it is not proba
BILE that its consideration will be resume
before Saturday.

Convincing Figures.
From the Toledo Blade.

One of the claims of the Free Trade
theorists is that the wages of working
men would be higher under Free Trade
than under protective tariff. Their
course of reasoning is this; that Free
trade would increase our manufacturers
and call for the employment of more
people and that this demand for labor
would increase tie rate Of wages. OF
course the first statement is false. But
grant it true for the sake of argument;
then, as England has been for many
years Free Trade country, the rate of
wages there should DO higher than in
America, under protective tariff. The
reverse. however, is the case. The re-
port of the Massachusetts, Bureau Of
Labor Statistics gives comparative ia
bles of the wages paid in that state and
in England. From this document we
give the following extract, the occupa-
lions selected being all pursued in Ohio
and hence the figures have an interest
to our own people:
Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1884-09-25

The above contains an argument that
no Free Trader can successfully answer
The whole matter is embraced in nut
shell. If Free Trade prevailed in Amer
ca, either our manufactures would have
to shut up shop, or wages would have to
come down to the English standard.
The reduction of wages Of all men en-
plOyed in manufactures would cause a
reduction in the pay of wagewOrkers of
all kinds. Experience teaches that this
is the inevitable result of a wholesale
reduction. Wages come down all along
the line.
Now will some Of the experts who
have been figuring on the Free Trade
side have the kindness to figure out
what cOmpepsating advantage Free
Trade would give the working classes to
atone for so great a reduction in wagesI

Prote elton VS.. Free II ade.

In great meeting at Nashville a few
days ago the Hon. LeOnidas G. HOuck, Re-

ering an an address on Protection versus
Free Trade. He appealed to the expert
ence of the old men present and asked
them If they did not remember the hard
times the repeal of the tariff in 1912
brought upon the country. He told
them that Free Trade would flood the
country with goods until they broke
down the American manufacturer, and
then the prices would 20 up. He point
cd out that everytime we have had Pro-
lection manufactured articles have de-
creased in price. Then, suddenly turn
ing to the audience, he said:
"Under this Fres-trade tariff for reve-
nue. only policy that prevailed in 1860

Jack Hall-"About thirty-six cents"

JUDGE FUTILE ON ALGER.
He Thinks His Plurality Will BE 10000.
From Detroit Evening journal.

"Alger will carry the State by a plu-
rality OF 4O,OCo," remarked Judge j. B.
Tuttle, of East Tawas, in the Russell
House yesterday. There is perhaps no
employer in the country who has treat
ed his subordinate with more cOnsidera-
ton than has Gen. Alger. 1t is quite
amusing to observe the regularity with
which he Is called upon by the brawney,
red-shirted, heavy-bOOted backwOOdsmeR
who happen to visit Detroit. At times
four or five of them will sally up into his
Office, Oftentimes quite hilarious from
too frequent treat" during their trips.
The General Invariably meets them with
the greatest courtesy proffers them his
arm chair, passes the cigars around. and
soon the party are as much at home dis
cussing backwOOds life as If they were
in their log cabins drying their wet
stockings by a blazing log fire. The
same courtesy is extended by Mrs Alger.
Should the wives Of any Of the foremen
happen to visit Detroit she invaribly
finds them out and insists upon enter
tanning them at her home.
"And this is no new thing Gen. Alger
has maintained this same policy for Ii
years past. A skillfull physician is en-
plOyed by the and attends any emplOy0
6r their families free of charge. An EN-
plOye sick or disabled receives his pay az
II on duty. Should man be so injured
as to unfit him for his usual work, some
light employment is always found fol
him. You see such record can't fail tC
to count among the laboring men ST the
State. The Northern Peninsula is solid
for Algsr, and the true merits Of the
man will have their weight among the
masses in every corner of the State.

If all be true which is charged, that
which remains is the least dissrsditable
act laid against him. But 1t Is not true.
1t is a vile falsehood, and its real object
is Mrs. not Mr.. Blaine. Mrs. Blaine is a
noble, high minded woman, has made her
husband a good wife through more than
thirty years, has presided over a happy
home, and the sole effect of this SANDER,
rs far as it can have any effect, Is to
m0rtify her and wound a household of
innocent children. In this respect 1t Is
the basest and foulest job Of scoundrel-
\ ism that ever found its way into an
American canvass, and hence we have
stigmatized it, and all honest Democrats
have dIsowned it.-Louisville Courier
