About 300 dsrymcn met at Plymouth. Wis,
saturday. 10 form II cheese pool To increase the
price of cheese by combination and direct deal
lug with exporters. \ plan was agreed upon 10 be
submitted to the patrons of the different facto-
rics Reports are to he made At an niourned
meeting TO be held at Plymouth Aug. lj.-State
Journal
If the manufacturers of cheese
will look into the matter they will
find that the protective tariff and
the kindred restrictive laws which
have destroyed American shipping
do more to prevent them receiving
full value for their cheese than all
other causes combined. Probably
no industry suffers more from the
decline of American carrying trade
trade than does the cheese industry.
How it suffers from this cause is
easily explained. \ very large por-
ton Of the cheese manufactured in
this country is exported. Ii we
had numerous lines Of ships run
ming to the various ports throughout
the world our cheese, as well as 9TH
er products, could be sent where
they would bring the most money.
But such is not the case, and the re-
suit is that products from the United
States have to be sent to such ports
as they can, and in such vessels as
will take them, and are generally
dumped off at such markets as Liv-
erpool, England, where they are sub
ject to the fercest competition and
certainly bring no fancy prices.
We have at hand no very recent sta
tistics relating to the export ofcheese
from this country; but from con-
sular report made February, 1888,
we find that during the year of 1892
there were S10,690,644 worth of
American cheese sold in Liverpool.
Alongside of this immense show
ing We find England doing a pros
porous business in supplying South
American markets with cheese.
From the report of the U. S. consul
at Carthagenia showing the trade of
Colombia we find that large quanti-
ties of cheese are imported and sold
at about thirty cents per pound.

He says: "Dutch cheese have the
preference. English next and Amer
lean last" There is something
wrong when Englishmen can buy
great quantities of American cheese
and then ship it, or some Of their
own make, across the ocean again to
South America and monopolize the
markets there. How would the Wis
consin cheese makers like to have a
chance to ship directly to markets
where they could sell their product
at such prices as reported ut Car
