In 1891. 206, 996,6SS pounds were export
ed, and $50, 6yS ,9lS pounds in 1892 an i'll
crease of S,702, 30, which is 62 l-6 per
cent, while the increase IN values was
G6 1920 per cent.
Continuing with an exposition of the
benefits worked by the present administra-
ton, the Secretary SAID:
The effect upon prices received by farmers
for their stock was most satisfactory. com
parisOn of quotations for cattle in Chicago be-
tween the months ofSeptember, 1889, and Sep
TENDER, 1892 showed 81 per cent. more cattle
marketed in the latter period, together with
an increase in price ranging from n cents
per 100 pounds on common, to as cents per 100
pounds on second quality steers. III the aver
age selling price OF cattle has increased only
IS per head-and this Is IN 1derate estimate
that would make about $40, 10000 a year.
Adding to this the $io,OOOoOJ increase in the
selling price of the hog crop and we have a
total OF SIS, 600 600 put into the pockets OF the
farmers by the increase in price of cattle and
hogs sold in single year Then, OF course,
tho breeding stock which is carried over Is
also increased in value. making altogether an
enormous sum which cannot fail to have a
marked effect upon the prosperity OF those
engaged in agricultural pursuits.
His remarks in reference to the subject
of protection emphasized two things par
ticularly: First. that the entire question
at issue was whether the tariff should be
for revenue merely. or whether 1t was TO

Un.ntontional souvonirs.

The present custom OF souvenirs
for dinners, visits, and, in fact, for
nearly all occasions, sometimes leads
TO deplorable mistakes. A writer in
Frank Leslie's Weekly recalls the oc-
curIence in the hospitable career of a
hostess who had reason to regret that
the souvenir craze had ever been
heard Of. Mrs. ! was the happy
posseSsor Of a dozen salt-cellarS of re-
pousse silver, which were almost the
apple OF her eye. She was TO give u
luncheon in honor of a friend from
distant city, and covers were laid for
fourteen.
In the arrangement of the table
the precious salt-cellars were placed
for the guests, another kind being
supplied for the hostess and her
daughter.
The cards designating the places
were laid upon these empty little
dishes, and through some error re-
manned there, so that the absence Of
salt was not discovered.
When the company assembled at
the table one lady took up her card,
saw the empty salt-cellar, and re-
marking at some length on its beauty,
said it was 81 lovely souvenir" and
slipped it into her pocket. Her ex
ample was promptly followed by the
rest Of the company with the eXcep-
tion Of one unfortunate women, who
either had no pocket or was unable
to find it.
The hostess was pctrifled with
grief and despair as she saw her
cherished possessions calmly appro-
priated, but she was unable to offer
the necessary explanation in the face
Of the torrent of acknowledgment
and compliment.
After she received the adieus OF
the last guest, and had heard the de-
parting rustic Of the last gown whose
pocket held one of her beloved salt
cellars, she sat down like the Little
Maid Arcadce, and wept.
1t was soon discovered that the
woman without pocket had forgot
ten her prizs; and Mrs. J seized
upon it with the concentrated affec-
tion which parent bestows on the
last Of many children. Her Joy was
OF brief duration. The following
morning brought polite note from
the pocketleSs woman, saying she had
forgotten her beautiful souvenir"
Would Mrs. J kindly send it?
Mrs. ! sent it, but in the bosom
of her family expressed the wish that
the punishment Of Lots wife had
overtaken the woman for looking
back on the charms Of that uninten.

pouch, presenting curious spectacle
with their white heads and bead-like
eyes peeping from the singular nur-
sery. When not alarmed they ap-
pear on their mothers back, their
tails stoutly wound round hers, which
is raised for the purpose. The kan
CARGO, marsupial animal, offers a
queer study. Their young are in
complete when born, and are placed
in a pouch by the mother, where they
remain until developed. Even after
development they return to the pouch
in times of danger. The deer-mouse,
one of our smaller animals, carries
its young clinging to its under side.
Among domestic animals the cat is q
familiar example of the devotion of
the mother to her young. How many

Democrats Misrepresenting the Sugar
Bounty.

Democrats Misrepresenting the Sugar
Bounty.
Certain Democrats are trying to make it
appear that the sugar bounty clause OF the
Mckinley bill is perverted to the use of re-
finerS of sugar, who not only Import their
raw material free under its bencticent OPP
eratiOns, but clam bonus of 2 cents per
pound on their importation. The aSSer-
ton is ridlculouSly false, but lit goes
with other Democratic falsites. The fol
lowing is sample of many letters that we
have received in relation to this last cam
paign lie:
To the Editor.-Please advise through
your paper how the bounty on sugar Is paid,
and how it is determined what part OF the
sugar is produced in the United States. Ger
tain Democrats try to make 10 appear that the
retiners run foreign sugar into their retineries
and collect bounty on 1t the same sugar
produced in the United States.
This falSehood is no more audaciouSly
stupid than many others that the Demo
cratic party Is putting In circulation. III
is utterly impossible for any refiner TO col
lect bounty on foreign sugar, or on do
meStic sugar either. The bounty is paid
to the grower, and to him only. The pro
visions OK the Mckinley bill are these
/. A bounty of cents per pound on all
sugar testing not less than 90 degrees to
the polaIscope. from beets, sorghum or
sugar cane grown within the United
States or from maple sap produced with
i'm the United States" and bounty of Ia
cents per pound on 'Gll such sugar testing
less THAI 30 and more than 80 degrees by
the polariscope."
2 The producer of such sugar, to be en-
titled to such bounty, shall have filed,
prior to LIST of july Of each year. q notice
! of the place of production. with general
description of the kind of machinery used
by him, with an estimate OF the amount OF
! sugar that he proposes 10 produce, or OF
/ the number of maple trees that he intends
! 10 tap, together with bona in a penalty
that he will faithfully observe all rules
and regulations that the commissioner
shall prescribe for the manufacture and
! production OF sugar.
| 8. Upon fling OF this application and
! bond the commissioner shall grant q IL
cense for the production of sugar under
the bounty provision, but such license
shall not extend beyond one year from
| date.
4. No bounty shall be paid to any per.
son engaged in refining sugars that have
been imported to the United States. or
produced in the United States upon which
the bounty herein provided has been paid
nor TO any person, unless licensed as herein
provided.
.. These provisions are guarded by q

ment. or both, against any person violat-
| inc them.
The sugar bounties are in the nature OF

nuts and other fruits, worth SO $50 600 year,
g. 1t had saved the Am ;rican WOOL grower
from utter ruin by protecting him from dis
keeping the price of American wool ut an av-
erage OF 305 cents pound by comparison with
an average of 1871 cents per pound, IA shown
by quotations of similar grades at corre-
spending dates in Philadelphia and London.
Difference in favor of the protected American
wool-grower, 16.S cents per pound.
The secretary quoted from published
utterancc of his own as long ago as April,
1890, the following plea for reciprocity:
Accompanying this principle OF protection 10
the American farmer is that of reciprocity
which should invariably be applied whenever
that of protection is relaxed. If there are prod
ucts grown 10 better advantage in other coun-
tries remission of duty on which would seem TO
be in the interest OLA large portion of our pop
ulatIon, such remission should only be accorded
as the result OF reciprocal concession In the way
of remission of duties by such other countries
on products more readily grown here. Many OF
those countries which would be specially bene-
fitted by a remission of the duty on sugar by
our government would afford an excellent mar
ket for our bread stuffs ana dairy and meat
products, were 1t not for the high duties I'm
posed thereon by tnem So with other products.
and whenever duty on such products Is lowered
removed and The protection 10 our farmers
thus diminished. IL should be as the price OF
concessions made 10 us in the tariff of other
countries in favor of our own farm products.
In this way, and In tins way only, can our
farmers be adequately protected new markets
being thus thrown open TO them for those prod
ucts which they can most easily and cheaply
produce.
AS illustrating the value of the work
done by the departments agent in europe
on behalf Of Indian corn, the secretary
stated that the first six months OF this cal
cndar year showed an export OF over 3d.
000,0 900 bushels, against 1l,OJ0,O00 bushels
tor the same periOn the previous year.

The WOOL GROWERS Duty.

1t appears safe to predict that when
New Mexico comes in as state, no class
of its business men will prove more loyal
to the Republican party, than the wool
growers. This class Of men owe an ever
lasting debt of gratitude to Republicans,
for under the policy Of the Democracy
only ruin could have been theirs, whereas
now all is prosperity and thrift.
We may talk as we please about
theories, but after all, practical politics
must win; the politics that helps n man s
pocket and brings good cheer and happi-
ness to his hearth-stone is practical poll
tics, and it is this kind that the sheep
raiser of New Mexico aids in promoting
when he, as territorial voter, throws his
influence and vote in favor Of the Repub
lican party. II be does his duty in this
respect this fall he will, in all human
probability, have higher duty to per

tributed to the Democratic corruption fund,
according to Mr.. Falls "open letter." is

to for contributions. With their well

respond to Mr.. Falls appeal. If Crist

appeal to come down with "youf money

Possibly this is an indirect appeal to
the Old Abe gold mine which is supposed
to have been such potential factor IN
the celebrated May convention at Albu'
querque. The Republican simply throws
this out as hint Reading between the
lines of the "open letter" there is the sug

The biennial session OF the supreme
lodge and encampment of the Uniform
Rank, knights of Phythias, to be held at
Kansas City, August 20 to 81, inclusive,
promises to be one Of the best attended,
and most successful, gatherings, in the
history of the order.
The accessibility of the point of meet.
ing will be an inducement to draw vast
number of Knights and visitors, and the
Missouri Pacific railway, with its vast net
work of lines entering Kansas City from
every direction, offers greater facilities
than any other line, and will be in better
position to take care of divisions and
regiments, and the large delegations that
are expected. Its trains will be found Of
the handsomest; equipped with Pullman
buffet sleeping cars, Pullman parlor cars,
reclining chairs cars, (seats free) and
elegant day coaches.
The Missouri Pacific railway is prepared
to land divisions and regiments within
four blocks of the encapment, tthe nearest
railroad point in the grounds).
The general committee has made COM
plete arrangements for camping outfits !;
tents with flooring, will be provided, and
wagons will be on hand to transport bag
gage to and from the grounds. The game
will be provided with water, and lighted
with electricity wire-woven cots, pillows,
and blankets, can be rented at very low
rate. ga
Remember The Missouri Pacific rail-
way is the only line that lands its pas
senger within four blocks of the encamp-
ment grounds. The Missouri Pacific rail-
way is the only line running out of Colo.

properly handle the Knights who may
contemplate making the journey; making
direct connection from all points in the
