RUSI\'S RAT HOLE.
Fostering Private Industries at the
Public Expense.

/ Washington, June 26.-An apt illus
tration OF the republican policy Of fos-
teling private industries 1T public eX-
pensc is afforded by a statement which
Secretary Of Agriculture Morton has
just prepared regarding the workings
Of The pork inspection established by
his predecessor, Secretary Rusk. See
Rotary RuSk claimed much credit for
this feature Of his general policy Of eX-
banding the work Of the Agricultural
Department. Secretary MortOn'S state
ment shows conclusively that meat in
spection is not only Il useless, but Il
highly expensive amusement, and the
fact that he has reduced the force Of
Salaricd employees Of the Bureau Of
Animal Industry 242 since he took
charge Of the Agricultural Department,
making II saving to the government
thereby Of about 100000, is evidence
sufficient to show that he intends to
render the meat inspection less cX-
pcnsive i'll the future, if not abolish
it entirely.
The secretary has prepared a state
ment Of the cost Of the department of
microscopy, which is only one Of the
expensive features Of meat inspection,
and does not include the cost Of taggcrs
and the various other officers necessary
to carry out the scheme The result
is shown in the following table, as ap
piled to six of the large packing cities
of the country on the one export of
pork alone, for the eleven months end
ing May 81, 1893. In two cities, Pitts
burg and Nebraska City, not a single
pound of pork was exported, while the
cost Of microscopists in these two cities
was more than $4,000. But the fol
lowing table speaks for itself:

Washington, June 26.-The death of

regret to the social world and also
to another circle of Washington life.
The entertainments at the Stanford

New York, June 26-The cessation of
free coinage Of silver by the govern
ment OF India was Il fruitful source of
conversation among financlcr
Business resumed this morning With
Il general feeling Of depression growing
out of Il combination of unfavorable
circumstances.
Fresh failures from various parts of
the country and stringent money were
a good foundation for the announce
mcnt of the stoppage of the Indian
silver minis.
A prominent banker, who is also one
of the heaviest silver bullion dealers
on Wall street said to reporter when
| the announcement came, chat is
crushing blow to silver" The effect
will be paralyzilg upon the whole silver
market. and | think a settlement of
the silver question in this country is
now at hand. The minis have been
opened for free-coinage and such i'm
mense quantities Of silver have been
presented by private parties and the
circulation of silver became so great
that the price of the Indian rupee has
been declining steadily for months This
bought about Il suspension of free
coinage
Still another large bullion shipper
had this to say: II don't see how the
action of the Indian government in
! closing it's mints will much diminish
! the demand for silver in India. India
is a creditor of this country, and I
do not see how her balance of trade
is to be settled save in the old way
/ by imports of silver. If the mintS are
closed to private persons then the gov
eminent will have to import silver
for coinage purposes in place of private
! parties. The government will be COM
PEELED to do as the Indian banks do, i.
e. buy silver in the market in London

will not be thoroughly healed until
