UNITED STATES SENATE,
WASHINGTON, April 20, 1890.
WI. Black, Esq, Fort McKavett, Tex:
Ny DsAR sIR-Yours OF April II, enclosing an
address delivered by you before the interstate
convention Of cattlemen, has been received.
think your idea is good one, but do not
baleye the legislation establishing the bureau
Authorization and statistics could be passed
through congress at this time. My reason for
hsoplnion Is that we have just created de-
pi'tnenE Of agriculture. and in this department
Ethe bureau Of animal industry upon which is
c'Toyed the duty Of giving full information as
hlysstock.
The trouble in regard 10 the shipment OF live
Eock By tie producer is simply that in ninety
hlas cases out Of hundred the cattle raiser is
compelled to ship when his cattle are ready for
hl lel and cannot wait until the market is
suitable one
Ne7ery cattle raiser had plenty Of capital the
S-.s would be different, but as it is am afraid
w VA 10 amount OF information would remedy
Siar as am concerned, am anxious to do
=! sang in my power TO relieve the cattle raisers
.Vl me outrageous oppression TO which they
~ nov subjected by the beef combine at Chi
~. am satisfied that the principal reason
=. ~ 'ls oppressed condition Of the cattle inter
SNu the United States at this time, is the
S Ian exercised by the beef combine at Chi
~ ! mLL read your address with great care. for
NJ ~ Gus 70 obtain all the information possi-
" lne subject. Your friend,
