Fifty-irst Congress providing for the inspec-
ton and Official certifcation Of meats and Civ
ing to the President power to forbid the intro
duction into this country of selected products
OF such countries as should continue to refuse
our inspected meats. enabled us to open all the
markets OF Europe to our products. The result
has been not only to sustain prices by provid-
ing new markets for our surplus, but to add 50
cents per hundred pounds TO the market value
Of the inspected meats. Under the reciprocity
agreements special favors have been secured
for agricultural products. and our exports for
such products have been greatly increased, with
sure prospect of further and rapid increase
The Agricultural Department has maintained
IN Europe an agent whose special duty il is to
introduce there the various pre- Darations OF
corn as articles of food. and his work has
been very successful. The department has also
sent skilled veterinarians to Liverpool to exam
me in connection with the BIRTHS b veterinarians
the live cattle from the United States landed at
TINT port and the result, in connection with the
sanita;y methods adopted at home has been
that we hear no more about our cattle being
infected with pleuro-pneumonia 4 iudicious
system or quarantine lines has prevented the
injection OF northern cattle with the Texas
fever. The tariff biz of 1880 gives better pro-
lection to farm products subject TO foreign
competition than they ever had before and TIE
home markets FOR such products have been en-
Urged bv the establishment of new industries
and the Development Of others. We may con-
tidently submit TO the intelligent and candid
Judgment Of the American farmer whether in
any corresponding period SO much hes been

continuance and extension of these methods
