CAUSE FOR DEPRESSION IN The CAT

Mr.. Armour, the Chicago packer. has
appeared before the Vest Committee
and given some figures and made some
statements that will be of interest to the
stock raisers of the country In The
course of his testimony, Mr.. Armour
said
The depression in prices and the pres
ent state of the market are owir Q to the
over-production and enforced competi
ton of farmers raising cattle on the
higher priced and highly improved
farms of Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, and
Nebraska. with the ranches of the West
and Southwest, who herd thousands of
this character of inferior cattle upon
public lands of little value. The gradual
absorption of the ranches by actual
settlers, and over-production of range
cattle have greatly over crowded the re-
naming range country, aud have con
sequently lessened the quantity of grass
and impaired its nutritive quality. As 8
natural result grasS-fed range cattle have
deteriorated in weight and value, and
the Southwestern steer now coming in

An Eiffol tower arrangement of
striped silk combined with fine wool,
is late idea in costumes. Two breadths
compose the front Of the skirt and a
seam is taken directly down the centre,
the sides being slightly gored and the
stripes made to come together with
pointed effect. A waist of silk CON-
pletes the costume and there IS usually
contrast between bright coIored
stripes and sombre wool material.

THOSE farmers, into whose ears
blatant demagogues are continually
pouring the falshood that farmers are
more oppressed by tariff laws than BY
any other class. had better do a little
hard thinking and come to q conclu-
sion on the point whether ii is better
for them to haYe manufacturing con-
sumers close at hand, or have the said
consumers in their own town and state
or have them in Europe. Further let
them consider whether it is better for
them to have manufacturing con-
Sumers turned out Of their factcr-
les for want of work, and have them
for competitors as farmers. The far
mer has hard work enough now in
getting consumers IN foreign lands for
the bounteous surplus of wheat. corn,
pork. beef and cheese Does he want
To augment the surplus, by turning
manufacturing operatives into non
consumers OF his own products, and
into active producers Of the same foods;
and then have both run the risk of
selling still more surplus to foreigners?
