The Duty on sulpburic Acid ana lt
Eject on AgrIculturists.

Uh
From tho chicago Herald.
The sympathy which the Republi-
can tariff tinkors on the Ways and
Means Committee of the House of Rep
resentatives show for the farmers is not
more thoroughly exempllfied in any
part of the Mckinley bill than in those
clauses which place duty of one.quar-
ter of cent pound on sulphuric acid.
Whether the circumstance is we'll
known or not among agriculturists, the
fact remains that the acid is the most
important constituent in the mauufac
ture of fertilizers, and any action which
will tend to increase the price of the
acid will certainly increase that of the
fertilizers. Thus the farmer Is again
made TO suffer by his so. called friends,
who also want him to pay higher prices
for his dairy and kitchen utensils.
This attempt to increase the price Of
sulpLuric acid Is due entirely to a we'll
known combination made up of manu-
facturers of chemicals, who subscribed
literally to the success of the Republi-
can protectionists in the campaign Of
1883. The increase in the cost Of fer.
tilizers, if full advantage of the duty
should be taken by combination con-
trolling the domestic supply, would be
about So ton. IT is calculated that
S00,0 900 tons of fertilizers were used in
the country in 1889.
The farmers, who are pushed to the
utmost 10 make any money out of their
crops even under the present conditions,
may be required to pay $1,600,000 a
year more in order that the members of
the combination may grow wealthier.
The proportion of increase would be
equally great in the case of petroleum.
With this the conditions are perfect
enough to satisfy the greatest advocates
of trusts, for the Standard Oil trust regu-
lates the prices of oil.

AMERICANS ABROAD.
Two Glasses That Are Nuisances aud
Should lie Suppressed.

OuppiOHSou.
EUaeHe Fieid IN he chicago Ne,es.
Europe seems to be infested with two
distinct classes of Americans-the one
quite as disagreeable us the other. The
first class is represented by the man who
usually asserts his Americanism upon
every occasion. This vulgar creature
makes a practice of finding fault with
everybody and everything; as soon as
he arrives he wishes he were home
again; he swaggers and bloviates, snarls
and brags, and, in short, is always so
loud that (although he represents only
a small class Of his countrymen) he has
come to be accepted as type of all.
The second class of disagrecable
Americans is composed of those who
not only hear with seeming satisfaction,
but also indorse with emphasis, every
dispmaeing remark passed upon the
United States by the foreigners. This
class is TO he met with in London--in
fact, the English are the only Europeans
who make practice of continually
sueering at the Government, the people
and the customs of the States This
seems to he a short sighted and foolish
policy, since England is likely at any
moment to be wiped out of the geog
raphy of Europe and her people com
PEELED to find new homes in the North
American continent.

A Hopeful View.

\. W. Live Stock Journal The
recent decline i'm beef cattle values is
believed by some to mean that the
hoped for advance is yet n matter OF
great certainty. Not so gentlemen
This very decline is an argument in
favor OF a return to remunerative
prices at an early day. How? Why
The decline is in consequence OF eXcep-
tionally large receipts OF cornfed
cattle. These large receipts are due to
the fact that all winter long and con-
tinuing up to date the whole cattle
raising part OF the United States has
been laid in contribution to supply
feeders. As buyers and the west was
secured from end to end in search OF
feeders. Everything approximating
suitable age was purchased and put
on full feed. thus, during the months
OF February, March and April adding
81, 900 cat tie to the then large num-
ber on corn. This, OF course, makes
large receipts continue longer than
common. The point We wish TO fix in
the mind of The reader is that there
was and is u real shortage OF matured
steers in the corn growing states, and
that shortage becoming apparent
caused this unusual filling up OF tie
feed lots. Hence, az stated above, this
present plethora is really sign oi
