Sir Il am instructed by this assembly to
call your attention to that bill introduced by
Mr.. Foran, for the restoration of wages in the
government printing Office which was re-
duced twenty per cent through the wages be-
ing fixed per hour, thereby virtually ignoring

ceeding session of Congress, failed to secure
a restoration of the wages paid prior to March
4th, 1877, therefore we respectfully solicit
YOUR influence in behalf of said bill.
Respectfully,

pride that he and his six brothers-all veter-
ans of the war of the Rebellion-were gath

she took into her worn and withered hand his

the other hand, my son." And as she felt Of

In no branch Of rural economy is there
so much needless waste of forest products
as in fencing. A great reform must needs
be instituted. as the expense of lumber
grows greater year by year. A single
square acre requires so 6 rods Of fence TO
enclose. 1t has been stated that from one
quarter to one eighth of the present fences
Of the country would be amply sufficient
to keep stock within proper limit. The
amount thus saved in a year would aggre-
gate millions of dollars in some of the
larger States. Estimates have been made
showing the cost of fences in the United
States to be $l.7O0, 000, 900. and the annu-
al cost tor maintenance at $19S, 900, 900,
including interest at six per cent upon the
original cost. The farm fences in the
State OF Maine are estimated at Al, 952, 900
rods. or 1871 900 miles in length. The
first cannot be reckoned at less than S42..
100000. Upwards of $S.o00.000 are in
vested in farm fences in the State OF Con
necticut. Total cost of fencing in New
York State aggregates S22S,S74.611 ;
Pennsylvania. $l79,S34. 494 Ohio, $780,
5S0,673; Indiana. 800, 1853, AIS; Illinois,
$12S. ,5l3. These figures give some
conception of the immense totals of lum-
Der consumed for the single purpose OF
fencing.

That part of Mr.. Morrison's new tariff
bill cutting down the duty on lumber is
mentioned as follows by the Manufacture
ers' Gazette " Putting lumber and tim
Der upon the free list is an absCrdity, and
including blocks and sticks, rough-hewn
or sawed, in this exemption, together with
ell outside house finish, is blow at the
wood working interests which they will
not accept. This is not a well devised
plan. 1t brings New England, the great
Northwest and the whole South at once
into the debate. a unit for the salvation of
their most vital interests. II it is an effort
TO put vitality into the thirty or forty South
American and stock timber schemes, or a
deal by which our famous Quebec colony
of American financiers can get employ
ment for their surplus in Canadian woods;
1t will be failure, for, whatever be the
object, no bill can be passed antagonizng
the constituencies of more than three
fOurths the representatives of the country.
No one interest is more important than
those of lumber and wood working"

all of our population who live of OF wages
and salaries have saved nothing and it would
be Just the same il they got twice as much.
But that fact has nothing to do with the ques-
ton. They have had money and have EN-
loved it, They have lived in good,
comfortable house. have dressed them
selves, their wives, sons and daughters nice
ly; have bought them presents, taken them
to places of amusement, etc., etc., and all ID
good style. Can the same be said OF the
workingmen of Europe?
Go into any part of the United States and
take thousand men just as they come, and
you have got q thousand or very nearly
thousand good customers. Do the same IN
Europe, outside of the large cities, and what
have the thousand got to spend after sup,
porting their families in the most economical
manner? Ask any German who has lived IN
any Of the smaller towns Of Germany.
Gentlemen-free traders-cut down the
wages of our workingmen, and we have lost
our best customers.

Miss Mary Ludwig, living at Elizabeth and
Mutt sts., Chicago, is twenty-four years old,
of medium stature, good looking and weighs
nearly 200 pounds. About January she be-
came afflicted with a continual drowsiness.
She would drop into dose on any occasion
and under any circumstances and remain In
that condition until vigorously reused. As
time passed. her maps became more prolonged,
frequently lasting for several days. Then
she would revive. remain awake long enough
to take nourishment. and fall of to sleep
again. When she had slept eight days
and nights without waking up or eating
morsel her parents concluded it was time to
call in a physician. Five weeks of fasting
had thinned the patient somewhat, but with
ordinary treatment she was kept awake sew
eral hours on the 18th of Feb, for the first
tune since the early part of January. Her
expression of feature is dull and lacks ANNA
ton, the eyelids droop, and there is an ap-
pearance of excessive WEAKNESS on her face.

The question Of changing the exemp-
tion laws at the mex t5session Of tllcleg-
islature is now being, discussed by the
territorial press and it is a noble com
comment on their honesty and devotion
to public good that it is practically a
unit in favor of change. At present, be-
sides his homestead, library, wearing ap-
parel-an household goods in store; every
resident can claim $1,50O worth Of prop
erty as exempt from any debt unless Sc
cured by mortgage. To a certain extent,
we believe thoroughly in exemptions but
the $1.500 limit is. too high by at least
$1,000. It furnishes a. .meansof refusal
Of payment for every dishonest rascal
who can secure cent credit. Not. only
isit a means Of swindling constantly EN-
ployed by dishonest men to beat their
creditors, but it is q positive detrimsnt
to the honest man. who, when lie gets
credit, is generally compelled to pay an
exorbitant rate of interest, due solely to
these large exemption laws. A total
adjustment Of the exemption laws
would be far preferable to tile present
ones, and we certainly hope to see them
repealed or the amount greatly lessened
at the coming session Of the legislature.

What future; benefits may accure to
the dairymen from the passage of the
oieomargarine bill can only be conjec-
tured, but it must be confessed that thus
far no very gratifying results have fol
lowed the enactment of that measure.
A comparison of present prices with
those of a year ago shows scarcely an
appreciable difference SO far ascreamery
butter is concerned, ,swbile dairy is barely
l02c higher than then. And it is a
Question whether the moderate advance
in the latter isnot more the result of the
drought which Prevailed through the
dairy districts Of tlieswest during the
last season, than Of any restrictions upon
tile manufacture and sale Of the imita-
ton article. That tile, staple has not
reached anywhere near as high APPOINT
as tho trade generally expected, can not
be ascribedi to The fact that most other
food articles are cheaper than a year ago,
for we find that cheese is fully 8 cents
per pound higher than at the correspond
ing time last year, Notwithstanding the
fact that the export demand has taken
out Of the country more than 100000
boxes less than during the season of 1885.

DENVER, Col, Nov. 30-The7 following

land to-day - ~
OFFICE OF THE INTERNATIONAL RANGE
ISOLATION, DENVER, Col, Kov. 30.~His
Excellency, Grover Cleveland, President
of the United States: The time has come
when that branch: :of: :;the commercial III
terest Of our country represented by the
live stock industry feels that it should
no longer plead for, but demand justice.
I am empowered by the live stock men
of the plains, who have more Than $500, !.
100000 invested in cattle, to :especi-
fully invite the attention of Your E1-
cellency to the imminent danger threat
ening our herds by the existence Of con
tagious bovine diseases, which, if once
introduced to the open ranges west, will
sweep our entire interests from the earth.
I feel that am justified in asking that
in your Forthcoming message to Congress
some suggestions may be made in the in
terest:of legislation looking to the ex-
termination ofhthe contagious cattle dis
ease known as pleuro-pneulnonia, and
such sanitary regulations as will protect
the cattle interest :of the United States
against the importation Of cattle from
tlsnoMn: disease centers sof other countr-
les. H. 4.
I would further respectfully submit
that under the pooling system entered
into by the transportation companies uf
the United States, and the iniquitous fav-
oritism Of. the rebate system, grieyous
wrongs are perpetrated on the producer
Of beef and the consumer as we'll. That
same combination which compcis the
millions who toll to pay all exorbitant
price ior one OF the primo nectssaries ct
life, compels the producer to accept for
his products price which has pressed
the cattle-growers to the verge Of ruin.
The bill now pending before Congress
for the regulation of Interstate conf
merce. known as the Reagan bill, is III
the interest Of Justice and equity, and
the cattle industry bespeaks for it such
attention in your message as may meet
your commendation. Respectfully, ." 50
