O,SO3 head of horses of the value OF
S2,114, 7OS, as against 1922 head of the
value of S1,35G.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. it would seem, senseless man.
ner Under the existing law there is
specific duty of Sc per head on all
cattle one year old or less, and $40 per
head on ali more thar one year old.
which is equivalent to 49, SO per cent
on the former and 63.22 per cent on
the latter. The pending Wilson bill
proposes to change all this to 20 per
cent. ad valorem on all cattle of what
ever age, or, in other words. to reduce
the tariff to about one-third the pres
ent rate. Now, what has been the eff
feet in its advantages to the American
cattle-raiser by the 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 so, 1898. 2,272 head of cattle
of less than one year old. of the value. of
SO, 4Ss. and s28 head of one year old or
more, of the value of S13,O6 or a total
number of head of 3,O9S, of the value
of S23, SOB; and the total number OF
head of cattle imported during the
three years-1S91-ls93, inclusive, since
the passage of the Mckinley act was
but 1859 head in 1891, 2,0S6 head in
1892. and 3,O0s head in 1898, aggregat
ing for the three years but 14.7S6
head, of the aggregate value OF but
s97, 524, or an annual average iraporta-
ton for these three years under the
Mckinley act of but 1928 head. of the
average annual value of 3d., 512;
whereas for the three years preceding
the enactment of the Mckinley
ac:-1ss7-1ss9, when the duty was sub
stantially as now proposed. we i'm
ported 1877, 72l head. as follows:
In 1857, 72,665 head; in 1855. 57,505
head: and in 1889, 1851 head, or an
average for three years of 81, 5'3 head.
OF the aggregate value of $4,000, 1856, or
IN annual average in value of $780,
1855.
Why. then. should we go back to the
old policy, which will bring into COM

country from 90 to 100, 900 head of Cam

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.
Eject. of Democratic Legislation on the
Live Stock Business.

| Eject, Ut Democratic Legislation ON the
Live Stock Business.
It IS proposed TO legislate in the
interest of 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 $3.50. and 80 per cent. ad
valorem OF all valued at $50 or over.
The pending measure fixes the duty on
all horses imported at the low rate of
20 per cent. I'D valorcm.
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 12,34s horses valued at
less than $50 each. and SS3 valued at
$50 and over. in all 1850 head Of the
total value of SI,l64, 4Ss.50, and on
which we collected a duty to the
amount of $780,, 40 Now, during the
three years-1ss7-lsS9 inclusive-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 $685.
4S7, or of the average annual value of
S2.4S6, 145; while for the three years
1S91-lS93 inclusive-immediate after
the enactment of the Mckinley law,
the annual value of our importations
was but 81, lS9,62l, or less annually
than for the three preceding years by
S1,246,524.
There were in the United States in
1890. according to the census, 1929

We can, under a proper protective
policy. not only supply our own de-
mand for horses, but become exporters

Preparing for An Attack
The Militia Out.

Charleston, March 2.-While intense ex-
citement still exists throughout the
Kanawha valley over the trouble in the
Eagle mines, there is little change in the
situation since yesterday. The sheriff is
strongly backed up by a posse and Gen.
Moore and Major Banks sent out by the
government with full power to act, are
ready to declare martial law at any
moment. 1t is reported that 1000 strikers
have assembled for new attack on
Wyant's guards at the Eagle mines. The
rumored attacks on Powellton and other
places are all started with view to final
ly closing in on Manager Wyant of the
Eagle mines.
Eagle, W. Va, March 2.--All is quiet at
the mines. Last night passed without any
event of importance. Eight hundred
miners held secret meeting at Mont
gomery last night after which they sepa-
rated and went to their homes. The
troops will probably be withdrawn to-day.
Powellton, w. Va, March 2.-The
strikers are preparing to attack the mines
here. They have assembled in such num-
bers and in such threatening manner,
that Sheriff Banks has telegraphed Gov.
McCorkle that troops are needed at once.

Sing Sing, March H2.--This morning
when the convicts in the prison marched
from their cells to the lower deck, the last
man Oh the line was John Y.McKane. His
hands rested on the shoulders of a horse
thief from New York McKane with his
companions filed into large breakfast
room and sat down on a rude wooden
stool. In front of him was tin cup, a
pint of black coffee made of burnt bread
crusts, and two slices Of unbuttered bread.
This was his first meal in prison. Unlike
"Biff" Ellison and Francis Weeks, McKane
ate his breakfast. As soon as breakfast
was over he marched to the clothing shop
where he was placed in the hands OF an
instructor and given his first lesson in cut
ting coats.
He spent sleepless night in his cell,
and was one of the first men up when the
gong sounded in his gallery. McKane
anxiously inquired if there was any dan
ger of the smallpox spreading; he was
told not. McKane brought up certificate
from his physician, DR.. Hill, of Graves
end, stating that he was suffering from
heart trouble, lung trouble and kidney
disease,

INDIA BANKRUPT.
The IsuinOus Policy Instituted by

Financial Depression.

London, March 2.--A Calcutta dispatch
to the Times says that Finance Minister
Westland announced to yesterdays vice
regal council that the deficit amounted to
three and half crore's, crore is 10000.
900 rupees. New duties proposed would
leave two crores still unprovided for.
The minister said that there was some
doubt of the actual proceeds from the
new duties and especially silver. Mr..
Playfair, commercial member of the
council, said that large section of the
mercantile community considered that
the duties on cotton ought to be reim-
posed. The bill proposed by Westland
was referred to select committee which
will sit daily and make report on the
10th of this month. There is no doubt
in the public opinion that India strongly
condemns the imposition of a duty on
cotton and an export duty on jute, as
pandering to the selfish interests of Lam
cashire and Dundee.
