Mr.. Hauser Thinks 1t will Stimulate the
Mining Industry.

Herald Ex-Governor Hauser re-
turned from the east yesterday after
an absence which dates from early
last January. lie spent a good deal
OF time in Washington but says there
is nothing to he said Of the political
situation and the case of the senat or>
from Montana, which the people oi
Helena do not know already. Sanders
and Power are seated and that Is
about all there is to it. Mr.. Hauser
thinks that the raise in silver is not
merely temporary and that its appre-
citation will greatly stimulate the in
dustry OF mining i'm Montana. The
political row has been the means oi
advertising the state and people are
beginning to make inquiries about her
resources. A great amount Of capital
will be invested in Montana this year
and by men who know what they are
about so that it will do the most good.
The report that fifty millions will be
invested i'm the new Northwest by
Henry Willard and his associates il
verified by Mr.. Hauser and much OF
this money will come to Montana. ln
addition to those already under con-
str,ict ion two more branch lines have
been decided upon by the Northern
Pacific Railway company and they
will develop fields hitherto untouched.

ON EQUAL TERMS.
Proposed Bill to Place Cattle Producers and
Exporters on the Same Footing.

WASHINGTON. April 29.-'rhe special
committee of the senate which has for
a couple of years been h-
beef cattle industry with the special
view to recommending some remedy
against the beef and cattle combina-
tion, has for several days been indus.

Over one thousand printed pages OF
testimony will be submitted, while the
report embodying the recommends
tiOns of the committee in the way Oi
legislation will also lie long. 1t l.,
probable that the committee will re-
port tomorrow or Thursday. Sena-
tor Henderson OF Nebraska, who Is a
member OF the COMMITTEES, said this
afternoon that the committee would
report bill providing for an inspec-
ton Of all beef cattle designed to be
killed for foreign export. The difficult
point to be avoided, he stated, is the
infringement of states rights. The
st at-s are vested with certain police
authorities which the federal govern
ment cannot abridge or interrupt in
any way, but it is believed there will
be no constitutional objection to the
law providing ior inspection OF cattle
to be slaughtered for export and in
spect ion Of cattle tn he exported alive.
as that will come under the int terst at g
commerce class of the constitution
The committee contends that there is
no sense IN Inspecting meat alter

cred in a dead animal with anything
like the reliability that will follow in

the latter insia losses may be over

Some Silver Figures.

Salt Lake Tribune: A friend calls
our attention to the fact that a fall
OF prices Of 33l. per cent. decreases
the capacity OF the debtor to pay not
course that is true. For instance, il a
man owes $500 and wheat is 81 per
bushel it requires 800 bushels to pay
the debt. But ii the wheat from any
cause falls 33l, per cent. in value, his
300 bushels are worth but $500, and
To make up he ind-bt -,lness he has to
sell l5O bushels. This is what the
farmers have been Obliged tn do since
he demonet izatiOn OF silver caused
he eady appreciation Of gold, and
with it the appreciation in like ratio
of their in,lebt elness. But that is not
the extent of the misfortune by any
means. Even before the wrong was
committed the farmer did not clear to
exce-d 20 per cent. on his farm. As
farmers to great extent do their
own work, the expenses OF the farm
did not decrease i'm the ratio that the
price of farm products decreased. So
when silver had fallen 20 per cent ;,
which was in lSS3, there was no profit
left by which the farmers could pay
anything. Then the mortgages began
to grow in earnest, and the effect is
,een in every State from the Atlantic
to the arid belt of Kansas and Ne

going are entirely correct, and the
sinister demonstration OF the problem

CENSUS OFFICE,
W.c.,,N,rnx A,,ril X 1890 |

WASHINGTON, April 10. 1870.
From representations recently made
to this office from different parts of the
country it is evident that thereis more
or less misconceptiOn existing among
certain classes of thecommunlty. more
especially the agricultural class, as to
the object of the census, and there is
great reason to fear that, unless such
contingency he specially guarded
against, many persons will he deferred
from rendering full an1 accurate state
ments 0f their property and its pro
duction by the fear that such lnforna-
ton would he used for the purpose oi
taxation.
As this would seriously impair the
value OF the census for some OF its
most important purposes, supervisors
OF census have been instructed not to
recommend for appointment rs enum-
orator any person directly or ind:-
rectly concerned either in the assess
ment of property for taxation or in
the actual levying OF taxation IN your
district, as no such recommendation
will be approved.
Although this order will have the
effect of excluding many persons who
in every other respect than that men
toned would make excellent enumer-
atOrs, and whose appointment was
even contemplated in the letter OF IN
structions issued to supervisors with
their respective commissions, the m
terests OF the census make its Observ-
ancs absolutely imperative.
Very respectfully,
ROBERT J.. PORTER,
Superintendent OF Census.
