What some of the state veterinarians
don't know about livestock diseases Is SIM
ply stupendous. The state veterinarian of
Iowa, DR.. Stalker, is out in an extensive
report, which has been telegraphed all
over the country, about disease among
milk cows in the southeastern part OF the
state. His report deals in good deal OF
speculation as to the nature OF the disease,
which he says is like, and yet unlike, foot
and-mouth disease. One special telegram
says: Or Stalker does not undertake TO
explain the cause of the disease, " which IS,
OF course. polite way of saying that the
doctor doesn't know anything about IT.. II

ALLlSON'S PROPHECY.

A Tin Plate Promise Not FulHlled-Tin
Plate Rising and No American Tin For
Canning.
This country has heard many tin
plate prophecies during the past year
or two, and 1t has seen all the tin plate
prophets come to grief. On January
10, 1889, Senator Allison was imbued
with the spirit Of prophecy and he
made forecast in the United States
senate of what u high tin plate tax
would do.
Here is an extract from the Record.
Mr., Vo't-I should like to ask the senator
from Iowa question. IIo says he has Il dI.
tlonal information now upon this subject.
Has no any information that any tin or
terne plate manufactures are In existence
In this country now, or that there IL any i'm.
mediate prospect OF any coming into ,xlst.

Mr. AllIson-I will say to the senator in ro-
sponse to That lnquiry-and tits a very peril.
tent and very proper ono In this connection
that there are quito n number OF establish.
mcnts which could Immediately enter upon
the production OF these tin plates or at least
within very brof period probably within
thirty days, and that we have assurances,
and believe from eyamlnat on and invostl.
Il ,tlon, that within the time fixed for tho
taking effect OF this new bill Hess than one

we use ] hav, no doubt OF IT,

year ago; and IL Is now good t,mo

latest circulars Of G. s. Trench & Co,
one OF the leading firms of tin plate
dealers In New York, reports. prices
have improved fully 10 to 10 cents per

A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME.

Madison and Webster on Free Trade-His-
cock and the New York Press on "Recl-
procity"-Wherein DO They Differ.
During the debate on the tariff Of
1889 James Madison, who represented
a portion of Virginia, and was the
leader of his party in the house, de-
clared: II own myself the friend to a
very free system of commerce. and
hold it as truth that commercial
shackles are generally unjust op-
pressive and impolitic; it is also truth
that if industry and labor are left to
take their own course they would gen.
orally be directed to those objects
which are the more productive, and
this in more certain and direct man
ner than the most enlightened legis-
lature could point out" Such were
Madison's views, and in view of this
the high protectionists of to-day charge
that Madison was free trader.
Thirty-fve years later Daniel Web
ster in replying to Henry Clay who
was advocating his american SYSTEM"
said: Commerce is not a gambling
among nations for stake, to be won
by some and lost by others. 1t has not
the tendency necessarily to impoverish
one of the parties to it. while it enriches
the other; all parties gain, all parties
make profits, all parties grow rich by
the operation of just and liberal COM
| No ,nhohtt
We have reciprocal wants and recip.
rocal means of gratifying one another's
wants. This is the true origin of COM
merce, which is nothing more than an
exchange of equivalents, and from the
rude barter of it's primitive state to the
refined and complete condition in which
we see it, its principle is uniformly the
same, its only object being In every
stage to produce that exchange of COM
modties between individuals and be-
tween nations which shall conduce to
the advantage and happiness of both. +"
When Webster uttered such truths as
these he was taunted by Clay and his
followers with being free trader and
hostile to- the best interests of his
country.
The New York Press, however,
quotes the above in its issue of October
as definition Of the reciprocity ad-
vocated by Blaine and his followers.
And, finally, Senator Hiscock, who re-
Gently addressed the farmers at the
Orange county fair, declared Briefly,
reciprocity is the same relation be-.
tween nations as that which exists be-
tween two farmers who are neigh.
bors."
1t is a puzzle to figure out wherein
the free trade of Madison and Webster
differs from the reciprocity of His
cock.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH.

The coming winter according to the
weather prophets, will be cold, and
damp and stormy. Persons therefore
with symptoms of asthma, catarrh,
bronchitis, and the like should be ex.
ceedingly careful. A slight cold now,
when there is so much Grippe pre-
vailing, has tendency to run into
pneumonia. Every person affected
with throat or lung trouble should
take Reds German Cough and Kid
ney Cure. 1t is the best thing for all
maladies of the throat or lungs that
was ever put upon the market. 1t
contains no poison, is pure and free
from any deleteriouS substances, but
it will cure the worst cold and stop the

duced. There are no fears of an over
