Omaha daily bee., 1893-06-24

Secretary Morton's statement shows that
the entire value of pork exports to countries
requiring certificates of inspection for the
eleven months ending May 81, 1893, was
S3,517, 1896, and that the cost for micro
scopy was S230,000. Great Britain which
requires no certificate of inspection, bought
S3i,O 600. or nearly ten times as much in the
same period. without any expense on the
part OF the United States government for
microscopy.
Secretary Morton recently addressed to
the German government through the State
department communication, asking q num-
Der of questions on the subject of meat in
spectlon. He expects when this reply is re-
ceived to have official evidence that Ameri-
can pork exports to Germany are not affected
by the inspection in this country, for the rea-
son that our exports are not admitted into
Germany on certificate of inspection until
they have undergone a thorough inspection
by the German government.
