In addition to these direct benefits
from the present tariff the farmer has
been proftcd by the reciprocity agree
ments that have been made with
foreign countries, and by the vigorous
enforcement of the retaliatory clauses
If the Mckinley bill, which has led to
The repeal of the prohibition that had
been enforced for years against
American pork in Germany. France,
Italy. Spain, Austria and Denmark.
Thus our exports of bacon, hams and
lard have been increased to the eX-
tent of $40, 600 600.
Partly by reason of reciprocity agree
nents, partly by reason of vigorous
foreign policy, partly by reason of the
action of the department of agrieul-
.ure, in refuting the false accusations
concerning contagious diseases among
American cattle, our exports of live
cattle have increased TO the extent of
SIG, 900, coo, and our exports of beef
products to the extent Of S12, 600, 900.
Our exports of cotton seed have in
