Omaha, was made chairman of the second
days session Of the live stock dealers con-
vention. The committee on constitution
and bylaws for the proposed national or
ganizatlon made their report. The third
section, providing for the basis of repre-
sentation in the exchange, caused a
wrangte which lasted until 1890. when an
adjournment was taken until O'Clock.
On the basis proposed Chicago would be

OF the national exchange. There was a
lively "kick" on this from Kansas City and
Omaha.
When the meeting reconvened the Kan

Section three was again taken up and
finally adopted, the Kansas City delegates.

Der 10, and if adopted by all
local exchanges. the same to
take effect January 1, 1880. The
Kansas City delegation opposed the
resolution. The Omaha delegation voted
for the resolution and because of the al
legged treachery. Colonel Peters, of Kansas
City, treated the Omaha delegation to a
strong and rather pointed.
Amendments to the resolution were pre-
sented and finally substitute that the
rules and bylaws be adopted by the ex-
changes ratifying them, as submitted by
Delegate Scruges of Kansas City. The
substitute had Il soothing effect and was

At the conclusion of the session the opin-
ion of the Kansas City delegation was that

convention's work. The reports are afloat
that the organization of the exchange
meant new live stock trust but it was
emphatically denied by the delegates.
There are evils enough in the live stock
business" SAID Mr.. Thompson, "and if we
correct them, which is our only end in
view, we shall accomplish good thing for

REVISION OF THE TARIFF.

Whatever differences of opinion are en-
tertained as to the best methods of effect
ing it. it is generally agreed that a revision
of the tariff and custom laws is urgently
needed. In the adjustment OF duties on
imports protection TO home industry should
be a governing consideration. While there
is a wide divergence of judgment
on the proposition, it can not well be de-
MED that it is the settled policy of this
government that such duties should be so
levied rs TO result In protection of labor.
One of the fundamental objects Of ievying
duties on imports declared IN the first
tariff act as passed by congress in 1888 was
the encouragement and protection of home
industries. The wisdom of this doctrine
has been demonstrated by the marvellous
development OF those industries protected
by the high duties demanded by the gov
ernment incident to civil war. 1t should
however, he remembered that the prime
object in the imposition OF these high du-
ties was the raising OF revenue and rates
were adjusted to that end, rather than to
the development and protection of domestic
industries. 1t came about. therefore, that
the measure OF protection was unequal and
some industries were greatly prospered
while others languisbed. The tariff act of
1888 while intended as protective
measure. was based on former tariffs and
pe.petuated many OF the inequalities and
defects with which these acts abounded
Ii is. therefore, urged that III revising the
tariff. schedules can be taken to avoid con-
fiictiug provisions and antiquities. which
have produced the evils mentioned: also
that rates be so adjusted as TO avoid the
ineouauIies OF the existing law 50 hurt
ful 10 domestic industries. Further
more, in the construction OF a
tariff law IN its broader sense
reference should also be had To the culti-
Walton and extension OF our trade rela-
tions with those countries whose geograph-
ical situation and resources are such as to
make intimate commercial Intercourse
with them particularly desirable.

its nest out of the reach of man on inscces-

that eagles don't build their nests in old dead
trees, because they are old dead trees, but
that when the nests were first built there the
trees were alive and were killed by the
eagles nesting in them. No One tn Vern1tlion
