A GULF HARsoR.

OF the Cslcasiea River-Interests of West
ern Agriculture.
When all the States west of the Mis-
sissippi are looking anxionsly for re-
lief to the agricultural interests, the
question Is not how to produce more, but
how to get rid Of the productions OF
/ which that vast country Is now capable.
With corn and oats worth but shout q
dozen cents per bushel, and wheat, in
many parts, worth less than fifty cents,
the thrifty, Industrious farmer is driven
to desperation in his efforts not to raise
more, but to secure reasonable prices
for the great surplus which every day
accumulates and seeks markets.
Where is our outlet? The increase of
other industrial pursuits alone at home

uets Of the soil of the great West Tbs

ton, including Philadelphia, New
York and numerous other ports, af-

coast 500 miles nearer to US, with a sea
frontage one-third larger than all this

Cult Take down the map and draw a
straight line to the Gulf, and the mouth
of the Calcasieu {Kal-ka-shu) river in
Louisiana is almost due south of Kansas
City at the northernmost projection Of
the Gulf of Mexico.
This part is a region so little known
that it has till very recently received no
attention. But already three railroad
corporations are looking anxiously
toward its development The Kearney,
Hutchinson & Gulf railroad, leading from
Northwest Nebraska, on a straight line
through Wichita, is claiming to have
sufficient backing to put it through; the
Kansas City, Fort Smith & South
ern railway is in operation in
that direction and the Kansas
City, Watkins & Gulf railroad has
a construction engine at work sup
plying the tracklayers north of Lake
Charles, and sea vessels are entering the
mouth of that river laden with railroad
iron in prosecution of this enterprise.
This latter road contemplates contin-
uous route from the Gulf to Duluth, as
will be more plainly seen by reference

To check importation was to check ex-

down meant more work and less result.
and carried out to its conclusion it
meant all work and no result Pig iron
was the base of all iron and steel manu-
features. In 1871 prices were rising,
after a period of depression and the i'm
ports of pig iron were increasing. From
9, 500, 600 tons in 1870 the imports of pig
iron rose to 1000, 900 in 1878. II the
Republican doctrine was true, then
every ton imported displaced a ton of
American. iron But the figures
showed that domestic product rose
from 50. O00. 600 tons in 1870
TO II9. 900. 600 tons in 1872. That showed
conclusively that the Democratic posi-
ton was right-that increased imports
increased the demand for American Ia
Dor. Following out the figures it was
seen that from 1850 to 1855, when the
imports of pig iron dropped of, the do
mestic production fell of more rapidly.
These figures presented an argument

eIeE-cRAcKeRs COME HIGHER.
Price of the Noisy PIaything Advanced by
the Tariff.


The prices OF fre-crackers, "baby.
walkers" and cannon-crackers in whole.
saI, lots have been advanced more than
d per cent. over their former cost
owing to the changes wrought in the
tariff rates by the Mckinley bill.
These noisy playthings OF the children
are all made in China, and those used
TO celebrate Christmas are shipped from
the "howery kingdom ss early as Au-
gnst. while the Fourth of July supplies
are transported to this country in Jsnu-
ary.
The Chinese make them at much less
expense than they could DO manuiac-
tured in America, as labor IS so cheap
there. and they are generally sent to this
country in the vessels which come load
ed with tea.
Notwithstanding the fact that the price
Of the "crackers" has been raised the
demand for them this year will pro Oably
be as great as ever in this city, for, to-
gether with the tin-horns, they consti-
tute the sine qua mons of Christmas in
the hearts Of children.
A leading retail merchant who deals
largely in fireworks told the DIsPATCH
reporter yesterday that the small crack
ers would probably sell for four cents q

be affected by the tariff as they are
manufactured in this country.
