The tin plate mills at Joliet,
ILL.,, will start up with the New
Year, and will turn out ], 800 box
g; of tin plate day.
The Northwest is solid for
Blaine, and it would be difficult
t, find section of the country
that does not strongly f..vor him.
A little earnest work now,
should secure saltiug works and
canning factory to kirksvilie. Let
every one lend hand in this mat
ter, for it will benefit both town
and county.
Blaine is opening the mar
kets of the world with the key of
reciprocity with out endanger-
ing the home market, and next
YER the Reciprocity cluos will
knock out the Democratic party.
The Democratic party is
trying to claim credit for the Meat
Inspection bill, and cheap sugar.
In about year, when the country
is being supplied with home tin,
the Democratic party will claim
credit for that. There is nothing
like claiming everything In sight.
Minneapolis has been Sc
lected as the place for holding the
National Convention, and the time
June Z. The selection of Mime
,polis portends the nomination
OF Blaine, as the Northwest is for
him first, last and all the tine.
The grain blockade on Iowa
railroads WAS raised Monday,
when orders were received from
Chicago to accept and ship all
grain offered. Seven hundred
cars of grain crossed the Missis-
sippi at Burlington, Monday IL
consequence of the order.
The Young Mems Business
Association has taken the right
step in determining that united
effort shall be made to secure new
industries for Kirksville. Every
industry il Kirksville Is doing
a prosperous business; but we
need more of them to keep up the
healthy growth our city now en-
joys, and to develop the egricul-
tursI interests of the county.
The people of Kansas have
become tired of PETER, and have
put a movement on foot to secure
through the next legislature Re-
publican colleague to Senator
Plumb to look after the interests
of Kansas in Washington. This
will afford the whiskered orato,
ample time to commune with him
self over fallen greatness and
gather points for new calamity
speeches.
The Stlckney stock yards,
at Chicago, seem to be the out
growth of necessity to get rid OF
that great monopoly, the Union
Stock yard, that has watered
S1,0O0,000 stock to represent
S2O,0OO,000, and is making divi-
dends accordingly. The Stickney
yards propose to charge Zoe for
cattle as against 25c now charged
by the Union yards, and furnish
cheaper feed. 1t is refreshing to
know that these yards that have
80 long carried on a systematic
robbery will now have to come
down from their war prices.
There are fewer beef cattle
in the United States now, accord
ngto population, than ever before
while the foreign shipments con
tinue to increase. With the lin
tied supply and the high prices OF
grain good beef cattle must bt
higher, and farmers should pre-
pare to meet the increased de.
mand for high grade beef cattle
cattle of superior quality and tha'
mature early. We can not depend
on allure of crops in Europe
hereafter. to furnish market fol
our grain, but we can depend or
Europe to take moro of our high
priced beef every year.
1t is one of the noticeable
features of the present age that q
good many things which all pre-
