THE LITTLE TERROR.
How BABY Amused Its elf and Others On

1t was a very cunning little child.

the mother on the cross seat of the car

these attentions the lit Q one crowed
and laughed and squirTled around in
the very ecstasy of plea sure.
Every now and then however, the
child turned toward tbs lady next to it
and regarded her with fixed admira-
ton. Finally it put out its chubby
hand and cautiously felt her nose
through her veil. Then everybody
looked at the nose and saw that it was
very red. Conscious of this obserya-

checks and red neck. The nose in
the meantime lighted up like beacon.

grabbed at it under the impression,
evidently, that the nose had been col
ored up for its especial enjoyment.
"Pittyi" cried the child, trying at
the same time to take hold of the
nose.
The unfeeling man with whose cane
the baby had been playing grinned as
he picked up the discarded stick and
the mother tried to choke the baby off
with kisses The other women smiled
sweetly-all but the woman with the
red nose. She was mad enough TO bite
the child's head off. But the little in
uocent began to pinch its mothers
nose, and make a mental comparison
between that organ and the nose shin

tainly odious. But the closer the in

satisfied it appeared to be that the red
nose was the prettiest and most de-

red nose once more, to the equal dis

the woman with the nose arose apd

AN AGRICULTURAL INTEREST.
Effects of Democratic Legislation ON the
Live stock IsuStness

IL + proposed to legislate in the
intere 81 If the stock raiser of Can
ada, Central America. Mexico and 9TH
er foreign countries and against that
of the American stock raiser. Under
the Mckinley act there is a specific
duty of $50 per head on horses valued
at less than $50, and 80 per cent. adj
valorem on all valued at $3.50 or over.
The pending measure fxcs the duty on
all horses imported az the low rate of
20 per cent. ad valorem.
Now, what must be the inevitable
effect of this change on the American
horse raiser? During the fiscal year
ended June 80. 1898, we imported into
this country 12,24s horses valued at
less than $50 each. and $50 valued at
$50 and over, in all 1860 head of the
total value of SILICA, $3.50, and on
which we collected a duty TO the
amount of S367,440. Now. during the
three years-ISS7-1SS9 inclasive-imme-
diately preceding the enactment of the
Mckinley law, the duty was but 20 per
cent.
We imported horses of the aggregate
value for these three years of S7.30s,
437, or of the average annual value of
s.. 4S6, las; while for the three years
1s9l-1S93 Observation-Disclosures after
the enactment of the Mckinley law,
the annual value of our inportations
was but Sl,1s9,G2l, or less annually
than for the three preceding years by
S1.246, 524.
There were in the United States in
1880, according to the census, 1929
s37 head of horses of the value of $685.
5l6, J62. while according to the latest
statistical abstract there were on the
LIST of January last (1s94l in this eoun-
try 16,0S1 POI head, or an increase in
the number in the past three years of
1.sT7. S64 head. an increase over the
number of head N 1850 of 3, 723, 713
head, as the total number in 1850 was
but 10, 357, 4sS.
We can, under a proper protective
policy, not only supply our own de-
mand for horses, but become exporters
to many millions of dollars worth an
nually. Indeed, we are now exporters
10 a considerable amount, as during
the last three years we have exported
9.303 head of horses of the value of
81. 1i4,10 as against 1922 head of the
value of S1,356.S5O exported for the
three years 1ss7-1sS9, preceding the
Mckinley law.
But what is true of horses is also
true respecting cattle. This great
agricultural industry is also assailed
by the Wilson bill in the same ruth
less and, il would seem, senseless man
ner. Under the existing law there is
a specific duty of 81 per head on all
cattle one year old ar less, and $40 per
head on all more iian one year old,
which is equivalent to 43 So per cent
on the former and 6S.22 per cent on
the latter. The pending Wilson bin
proposes to change all this 10 20 per
cent. ad yalOrem on all cattle of what

ever age. or, in other words, to reduce
the tariff 10 about one-third the pres
ent rate. Now, what has been the eff
feet in its advantages to the American
cattle-raiser by tie Mckinley act and
the protective policy, and what will
probably be the effect of this proposed
change in this policy?
We imported for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1898, 2,272 head of cattle
of less than one year old. of the value,of
$40. 43S, and S2f head of one year old or
more, of the value of 1905, or a total
number of head of 3,09s, of the value
of S23. SOB; and the total number of
head of cattle imported during the
three years-1S91-1S93, inclusive, since
the passage of the Mckinley act was
but 9.652 hea,. in 1891, 1886 head in
1892. and 3.O9s head in 1898, aggregat
ing for the three years but l4,7s6
head. of the aggregate value of but
S97.5 24, or an annual average importa-
ton for these three years under the
Mckinley act of but { ,92S head, of the
average annual value of S32,51
whereas for the three years preceding
the enactment of the Mckinley
act-1ss7-1sS9. when the duty was sub
stantially as now proposed, we i'm
ported 1s7, I'll head, as follows:
In 1887. 72.665 head; in 1883, 57,505
head: and in 1889, 57,551 head, or an
average for three years of 62,573 head,
of the aggregate value of $1,000, 4s6, or
an annual average in value of $685.
1888
Why. then, should we go back to the
old policy, which will bring into COM
petition with the cattle raisers of this
country from 60 To 100. 600 head of Can
adian and other foreign cattle
annually and drain our country an
nually of over $1,000, 900, which viii go
into the pockets of foreign cattle
raisers?
The cattle industry of the United
States is an immense one. IL is an ag
ricultural interest moreover. Our
country should, and can under
proper protective policy, export largely
of cattle instead of importing. In fact
we are to-day exporters of cattle to
many millions of dollars in value ar
nually. In 1890 we exported cattle to
the value of S31 POI. 13l; in 1891 to the
value of $50, 445, 249, and in 1892 to the
value of $50, 099, O95. or an aggregate of
S96. S05. AS, as against S37 1866, 63l dur
ing the three years-1ss7-lss9, immedi-
ately preceding the passage of the

Vile In Early Days.
AS three men were standing in front

the other day, says the Pittsburgh Dis
patch, one picked up the glass of
whisky that was placed before him
and, tasting it. made a face that looked
as If he had taken poison. "aly, but

was a wag kept a saloon who did not
try to disguise the quality of the liquor
that passed over his bar, but rather
made careful preparations for the
effects that he knew il would cause.
1t Is said that tenderfoot once came
In and asked for n whisky. He was

HeREsY OF THE DEMOCRATS.
Disastrous Consequences of Placing Woo.
on the Free List.

The democratic contention is that
with wool on the free list we would
/ have cheaper wooden clothing. If this
were true il might be worth serious
consideration even though it should
ruin our sheep industry.
The whole history of the doctrine
and the practical effect of the doctrine
of protection afford conclusive answers
to this heresy. And the very fact that
all kinds of wooden clothing are to day
/ infinitely cheaper in this country than
they were prior to the levying of the
Mckinley tar r ON wool in 1890 ought,
in and of itself, To be a sufficient
/ answer to this argument. But the
real answer is to he found in the
/ logical economic deduction which
must inevitably follow and which in
variably does follow in the wake of a
\ policy which subordinates the great
wool industry of this country to that
of the foreign producers of wool,
whether in Australia, the Argentine
republic, the South Sea islands, or
I elsewhere.
Destroy practically the sheep in
dustry of this country, as must newt
ably be the case by placing wool on
the free list, and we are at once. or at
/ least in u comparatively short space of
time, placed at the mercy of the pro-
/ ducers of foreign wool Then, instead
of importing three hundred million
/ pounds of wool. as now, we would be
compelled To import double that
amount to meet our dcruand for con-
sumption.
Is it not apparent to every intelli-
| gent mind that so soon as this state of
things is accomplished the price of
foreign wool, even in the absence Of
the formation of a foreign trust, vii, be
advanced to figure largely beyond
that now paid for American wool?
And who, further, does not know or
realize that then, there being no
! check of home production, the Ameri-
can market will be under the absolute
control of the importers, of the few
men who control the foreign hoclts
! and the result will be the formation OF a
! great foreign wool trust by which the
price of wool will be largely advanced,
ufacturer but the mass of the Ameri-
can people who wear wooden clothes
will feel the fearful consequences of
| free trade in wool?
But this is not all This is only a
part of the dreadful results of such an
economic policy. This large excess in
wool imports would annually drain
our country Of more than sixty million
dollars IL gold for wool and wooden
| goods. and when this lamentable state
of affairs in our commercial and
economic relations shall be wrought
out under the policy involved in the
pending bill, while it will bear heavi-
| " on all classes throughout the whole
country, IL will be the people, the
manufacturers, the producers as well
as the consumers of our country who
