cos11Y MEAT INFECTION
Mr.. Morton Find. that Microscopic Super
rl.ion IIn. Not Increased Esports.

WASHINGTON, July 13-secretary Morton re-
Gently issueda circular to the packers Of meat
in which he asked for views as to the advisa-
billty OF diminishing the force OF employees in
tho bureau OF animal industry and whether
or not tho inspection Of meat conducted by
that bureau at the expense Of tho Government
ought not to be conducted by the exporters
themselves. Much criticism followed the cir
cuiar, and It was reported that the Secretary
proposed to abandon the inspection Of ment.
and thereby threaten the stoppaRe Of all our
expectations
Il have not proposed the stoppage OF meat
Inspection" said Secretary Morton to-day. for
the law says that IL shall go on However.
there is q discretionary power which enables
the Secretary to reduce expenses, especially
unnecessary ones. II tho law is supposed to
create n demand for our meats abroad, 1t is II
failure. The inspection OF beef for export
began on May 1S, 1891. and the first shipm ont
OF inspected beef was made on May ~. The
basan June - ISL; and the frst Inspected
snso %af be snRpSa tn
q period Of little more than two years, we
have sold 70 countries demanding Sett!lic c, Q
During the same period we have paid to
mcroscopists for salaries alone; to inspect
fore they could beg in their work the Govern
ment laid out $S.475 for microscopes. The
other incidental expenses amounted to SO.3D2,
SO that the total for all expenses of inspecting
this neat was 4 per cent OF the value OF the
entire product sold. The question Is. shall tho
people ne taxed in this way. or shall the men
engaged in the business Of exporting stand
the expense themselves? The countries re.
quirinE this inspection and to which this meat
was sent are Germany. france. denmark,
Italy. Spain. and Austria.
Now look at the her side OF the question.
During the same period We have sold to coun-
tries not demanding this inspection meat to
the amount OF more than S34.OOO.OOO. and
that, too. without the cost OF y dollar to tho
general public. 1t Is not the intention Of this
department to cripple the business Of the
country. but 1t Is the positive intention to do
all that can be done in the way OF cutting off
useless and ornamental employees. and that
work Will go on 50 long as any such officials
are discovered"
Tn to May 81 last Secretary Morton had cut
of from the pay rolls the names Of DAP en-
ployees of the bureau OF animal industry. and
since then more have followed. and the saving
Of expense thus made AMOUNTS to more than
100000 per annum; All the firms to whom
the circulars werc addressed have replied that
to do away with tho official INSPECTION would
ruin the business
Secretary Morton has ordered the suspen-
sion OF the inspection OF sheep. becves. and
lambs at the abattoir Of tho Jacob bold Pack
ing Company. Buffalo This action was taken
OF the beef mutton. or lamb inspected at this
abattoir Is sold to the Interstate or foreign
trade. The order dispenses with the services
Of the In spector at 81 400 per annum. one as
sistant inspector at $1,000 and one tagger at
$40 per annum.

the charge made by Farley that he dictated to
his private secretary an article published in
tho augusta Chronicle and signed ii Grad

article was writtcn by Jim Tilman. n son OF
the ex -Congressman. to whom Farley had pro-
posed to 90 into an alliance to beat senator
Butler for the senate. md also to turn Gov
Tiliman and Senator lrby down. The charges
made by Farley he dcnounces as false. and
