A concern has lately been organized in
Chicago which. il is the fond hope of its
iaaugurators. VIII create revolution in
the shipment Of live poultry. Hereto
fore the live poultry traffic has been linn
tied ON account of the crude appliances
used in the transportation Of live poul-
try. The rough boxes in which live
poultry is cooped up do not allow Of
their being fed or watered while in tran
sit. and they consequently arrive at des-
tination in poor and almost unsaleable
condition. In consequence, poultry Is
killed and dressed at points OF shipment
and forwarded in that shape. The new
company proposes 10 furnish cars ex-
pressly built for the transportation Of live
poultry.
Coops are built on both sides of the
cars. with sufficient space in the center
for man 10 walk through and feed and
water the poultry in troughs applied to
the coops for that purpose. and the bot
toms can be drawn out. rs in bird cages,
and cleaned. This, instead of deteriorat-
ing the poultry. will Improve it while in
transit. and il will arrive az its destina-
tion in a well fed and healthy condition.
Thirty Of these ears are now in course
Of construction. This new and improved
method in shipping live poultry. it is
believed. will result in curtailing the
dressed poultry traffic anu largely in
crease live poultry shipments. As the
rates on live poultry are much higher
than on the dressed article. and as il
takes much less 20 make a carload of In,
former than OF the latter. the railroads
will make more money on the business

Something For the Farmer.


The discussion Of the tariff in the North
Amaicaa Rer;r,r by the great English
statesman, SIR. Gladstone, and the no less
great statesman, Mr. Blaine. has attract
ed widespread attention. The following
point made in the reply Of MIR. Blaine
will be appreciated by the American
farmer. who has been assured by the
American free trader that low prices are
due to a restricted market, the fruit OF the
tariff, while high prices would come with
free trade because of the wider field in
which their products would be sold. Mr.
Gladstone, the English free-trader, over
turns all this petty tbeoriz;ng by assert
ing that The American laborer had better
he engaged in raising more cereals and
more cr,tion at low prices" than IN IN
c,easing manufactures. This frank adj
mission Mr.. Blaine turns against him IN
the following neat paragraph;
Protectionists owe many thanks TO
Mr.. Gladstone for his outspoken mode OF
dealing With this question Of free trade.
He gives his conclusions Without qualiil-
cation and without disguise. The Ameri-
can iree-irsder is not so sincere. lie Is
ever presenting half-truths. and holding
back the other half, thus creating false
impressions and leading 10 false concln-
sions. But Mr.. Gladstone is entirely
frank. He tells the laborers on protected
articles that they would be better enggg-
ed in raising more cereals and more
cotton at low prices" Where does Mr..
Gladstone suggest q market for the adj
ditional grain and cotton to be raised by
American mechanics becoming farmers
and increasing the production of those
great staples? The foreign market Is
6lled with competing grain supply 70
such dc.ree that already the price of
wheat is undulv lowered TO the Western
farmer. The farmer needs still larger
home consumption of his grain, while
Mr.. Gladstone thinks he needs still
larger home production. The legitimate
involvement of Mr.. Gladstone 8 argument
is that all mechanical and manufacturing
enterprises in America producing articles
of higher price than the same produced
in Europe should be abandoned, and the
laborers so engaged should be turned to
the production of more cereals and more
cotton at low prices The western
farmers instinct is wiser than Mr.. Glad
stones philosophy. The farmer knows
that the larger the home market the bet
ter are his prices, and that as the home
market is narrowed his prices fail"
