FAors 70 ENCOURAGE US.

Not only Germany and France and
Turkey have boon been wagIng war on
American meats, but old Mother Eng
land has occasionally acted in tho same
unwise and intolerant manner. The
ilimsy excuse that American meats are
unsouud is only cloak to hide The self
ish and ambitious efforts OF native
growers and packers, 1t is, perhaps, be-
You'd dispute that we raise and ship
abroad the finest eats in tho world,
and to deny to tho poor peoplsof Europe
tho benefits of competition ia such a
commodity as meat, is worse than crimi-
nal, IL Is cruel.
But when the war clouds arise our
vindication is striking and our revenge
sweet. They all have to como to
America then for their and bread meat,
and both are voted of sufficiently supe-
rior quality to meet the uses OF their
armies and citizens.
The address of the British war minis
ter, the Marquis of Harrington, in the
house of commons day before yesterday,
in which he referred to the matter of
ordering meats from America, ought to
convince Europe that we are better pre-
pared, with better meat to supply Europe
than any other nation can possibly hope
TO do. The minister confessed that Eng
land could not compete with America
In the matter of meats and denied most
emphatically that any meats received
from this country were putrld or un-
sound,
The rtterances of the British War
Department, through its accredited and
well known Minister, before the House
of Commons, is not only'the best adver,
tisement our growers and packers of
American meats have ever yet had, but
ought to SGT at rest once for all the
flimsy and baseless opposition in many
portions Of Europe to our goods of that
character.
The simple fact is, and it cannot be
gainsaid that the meat and bresdstutTs
of America are superior to that OF any
other nation, and that they can as the
Marquis of harrington declared, be fur
nished to the nations cheaper than they
themselves can raise them. And these
great articles, the basis OF agriculture,
are the basis of our wealth, aud it can
not but be encouraging to the American
people TO see the leaders of thought
there admitting their superiority and
contessing their dependence upon the
United States in an emergency.
