CATTLE FOR SWITZERLAND.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 1s.-A movement
for the importation of American cattle
into Switzerland has been set on foot
indirectly through the instrumentality
of Mr.. Eugene German, the United
States consul at Zurich. Not long ago
Mr.. Germain sent to the state depart
ment a report entitled Prospects for
American Beef in Switzerland" 1t
was printed in the New York
Staats Zeitung. copy of which
reached the Zurich public library. The
article was brought to the attention of
the Bauern Bund, 4 farmers organiza-
ton. and = meeting was called with a
view to taking steps to secure young
American cattle to replenish the sta
bles of the farmers who are badly in
need of such stock. Negotiations are
under way which, the consul believes,
will result in committee being sent
to America to investigate and. if found
practicable, to purchase young cattle
for shipment to Switzerland.
Consul Germain has sent to the de-
partment an extract from an article re-
stock journal descriptive of the arrival
of the steamship Prussia from New
York July 81 with $40 head of live
beeves and the carcasSes of $50 shipped
in quarters. Several shipments of live
beeves had been made few years be-
fore. but for some cause the business
was discontinued. With the success of
the Prussia's trip, the Hamburg jour
nal says the question of importing live
American beef cattle as well as beef
has received new impetus.
The Prussia is the first of five new
steamers built by the Hamturg-Ameri-
can packet company for this business,
each to have Il carrying capacity of 400
head of cattle.
This first trip lasted fourteen days,
the animals were fed with hay and
corn and landed in good condition.
The Hamburg Journal SAYS: 1t is to
be expected that German agrarians
will oppose these inportations. but
it will meet with the approval of
the consumers and allow the
poorer classes to eat meat. which at
present is bepord their reach. 1t is to
be hoped that these importatiOns will
make good progress Experience has
shown that the quality of the Amer
lean meat is as good as the best Ger
man and that in general American cat
tie are healthier than German cattle
and it is acknowledged that tuber-
culosis is rarely found among the
American cattle"

saws:
While the law provides that redeemed treas
ury notes may be reissued it also imposes an
express Limitation upon the power to reissue
by declaring that mo greater or less amount Of
such notes shall be outstanding at any time
than the cost of the silver bullion and the
standard silver dollars coined thereform then
held in the treasury purchased by such notes"
When such notes are redeemed in gold there is
no obstacle in the way of their reissue. because
such redemption does not affect the stock OF
silver held in the treasury under the act OF July
IA. 1890; but. when they are redeemed with silver
coined from the bullion purchased under that
act they must be retired and Cancelled, for
otherwise there would be. after the redemp-
tlon and reissue. a greater amount OF notes
outstanding than the cost OF the silver origi-
nally purchased and then held in the treasury,
and this is expressly prohibited by the statute.
The purpose of congress was to prevent the
duplication of the currency, which would be
the case il the notes and the silver purchased
with the notes could be outstanding Ut the
same time.
Treasury notes received in the ordinary
course OF business. or redeemed in gold or ex-
changed for silver dollars not coined from
bullion, purchased under the act Of July IA,

notes are reissued. Prior to the 1st day OF
July 1891 silver dollars to the amount OF 353lS,-
