The elegant watering-place hotel at Las

TO give every room therein an abundant sup
ply Of that brilliant and tonic sunshine for
which New Mexico is noted. There is not
a prettier spot in the Rocky Mountains than
the canon in which the Montezuma stands.
A bracing climate affords quick relief for
tired nerves, and when supplemented by

Not long ago, w. w. Waltmire Of Carbon
dale, Kansas, well-known breeder Of Ches-
ter White swine, called at this Office and dis
continued his advertisement, stating as his
reason therefor chat hog cholera had taken
off One-half his herd and the remainder were
sick, and that he expected TO lose them all.
The writer stated 60 him that the Bragdon
Chemical Company, Of Fort Scott, had as
sured us that they could both cure and pre-
vent hog cholera, and were willing TO make
o test TO demonstrate that they could do ex-
actly what they represent in their advertise
ment, and therefore suggested TO Mr.. Walt
mire that he write them at once, which he
did, and they Immediately responded TO his
call, and sent their representative, John s.
Townsend, who was then in Wilson county.
Mr.. Townsend arrived November 10Th, and
at that time Mr., Waltmire had lost seventy
head, and they were dying in numbers every
day. Mr.. Townsend began treatment at
once, and saved the remainder OF the herd,
with two exceptions, and they were too far
gone for treatment The hogs saved were
very sick, many unable to stand and all re-
fusing food. Yet with these very unfavor-
able conditions, they we're simply cured.
About ten days after first treatment, Mr..
Townsend called at this Office and reported
that Mr.. Waltmire's stock was cured and i'm
a thrifty condition, and MS the writer knew
the wretched condition Of the herd previous
TO treatment he concluded TO verify the cure
by personal visit, which was entirely salts

all the hogs doing well and eating their food
eagerly, aud Mr.. Waltmire was delighted

plague, or hog cholera. II was certainly a
remarkable cure of terrible test case, and
we willingly give the Bragdon Chemical
Company, of Fort Scott the benefit Of this
notice, for they made the testand cure with
out cost to Mr.. Waltmire, simply 10 demon
strate their claim that they can successfully
prevent as well as cure seven out Of every
ten cases Of hog cholera. From what the
writer has seen Of their SPECIFIC, he has
no hesitation In recommending II as worthy
of trial by breeders Of Kansas and elsewhere

EFFECT OF THE NEW TARIFF ON
FINANCES.
Jay Gould's Opinion-So Serious Harm
Likely to Result.
New York World.l

The tariff, like ali other great and
sudden changes, has upset the country
to such an extent that people now
hardly know whether they are afoot
orhorseback. The bad results, however,
will not be permanent. Tha country
will soon accommodate itself to the
change. In fact, the trouble has been
largely discounted by the anticipation
of the operations of the tariff.
I do not believe that the approach
of February l, the limit of time for the
withdrawal of goods from bond with
out the payment of increased duties,
will cause a stringency in the money
market. This cause alone will not be
sufficient to create stringency. This
country is largely contingent on Eu-
rope in its financial condition. If any
thing happens to disturb the business
of Europe creating high rates for mo-
ney it will naturally flow from Amer
lea to the other side. If there should
be such a disturbance in Europe be-
tween now and February ! there would
be tight money here. If things in Eu
rope continue in an even way there
need be 10 apprehension, so far as am
able to see, that the new tariff will
cause financial distress in this coun-
try.
I can not see that the new tariff Of
itself will be a disadvantage to the
country. If it increases the cost Of
some articles people will simply use
less of them. Take wool for instance.
If the tariff on wool makes clothing
cost more person will get along with
one suit where he would otherwise
have two. Iron may be taken for an
other example. Despite the reduc-
tions the iron industries of this country
will prosper. The tariff on steel rails
is reduced S. ton, but the change will
net let in any more English rails. 1t is
the same in all branches Of industry.
Matters seem to work out their own
solution.
Production and consumption will
have more to do with the situation
than anything else. The products of
the country have to find a market, and
if they cannot find it at high prices
they must find it at lower prices.
1t is possible that labor may be bere-
fitted by the creation of new indus
tries under the tariff, but 7 do not look
for any great increase in manufactur-
ing interests solely from the tariff. The
country is growing, and industries will
increase and enlarge to keep company
with growth. JAY GOULD.
