SHIPPING CATTLE.

The golden rule in shipping all
kinds of cattle is to get them as fast
as possible from range, ranch, farm
or feed-yard to market. 1t has been
proved time and again that range
bullock shrinks every hour after he
leaves his native haunts. 1t stands to
reason that all cattle will do so, but
natives do not fret, nor are they lia-
BILE to get so buised as the former.
Since the invention of patent cars,
such as Streets and other varieties,
parties long distance from market
have been greatly benefited, says an
exchange. One only needs to go down
to the stockyards and see the cattle
rolling in every day from points 1000
to 1900 miles west without unloading
to find out how much better cattle
shipped in this way look than those
that have been knocked about at the
local feeding points, and have had to
be unloaded and loaded probably a
couple of times betwixt their point of
shipment and their destination.
The outward appearance is nothing
to the inward look when the hide is
off and the bruises show up. We be-
lieve that all cattle, whether natives
or rangers, should be sent to market
without unloading. We have cattle
reaching us every day from distance
of 1900 miles that stay in the cars all
this distance. They are fed in the
cars and watered also. The old.fash-
ioned railroad feeding-yard is a thing
of the past SO far as it usefulness is
concerned. just MS we believe it is
better to kill cattle as near the feed
yard or range as possible, SO is is bet
ter to run them to the central mar
kets with as little shrinkage and bruis.

GOOD BARN CATS.

The cats that remain all the time
around the house soon become lazy

Too Big n Job.


Mr.. Cleveland has undertaken some
which he has succeeded and in more of
which he has failed. His most con-
spicuous success is the disintegration
of the democratic party. His most
signal failure is his failure to redeem
the promises of the platform on which
he was elected. But his last under
taking, the suppression of the silver
movement, is the most Herculean at
tempt he has yet made. 1t is an effort
which is a foreordained failure and only
man of the pernicious enthusiasm
which Mr.. Cleveland possesses would
think of making the effort. Mr.. Cleve-
land wants the democratic national
committee to get together and endeav-
or to stem the advancing tide of free
silver sentiment, which has swept over
the south and west. nearly inundated
the central states and broken on the
eastern shores. The entire strength
and prestige of the administration will
be massed in this effort, which only
desperation would suggest and for
whose success only faulty could hope.
But we thought that this silver bust
ness was 'petering out" We have
been told by all the shining lights Of
gold mOno-metallism that the senti-
ment already shows signs of dimunition
and before convention time comes
around it will be safely out of the way,
to disturb the dreams of acrobatic poll
ticians no more forever. The fact that
the forces Of gold are moving heaven
and earth to suppress the silver move
ment Is proof that there is mistake
somewhere. 1t is made by those who
believe that the people are not in earn
est, desperately in earnest, iN thir de-
termination to have silver restored to
Its proper place.-Ex.

GRAND OLD PARTY.
LIVING TRUTHS OF REPUBLICAN,
POLICY.
Protection TO American Industries
Through the Restoration OF the Nc
Kinley Bill the Issue Silver Is
Secondary.
(Kansas City Journal.o

1t has come to be a common thing
to hear the tariff spoken Of as a dead
issue. Democrats generally recognize
the fact that their party has made such
a miserable failure of it's efforts at re-
form that they would gladly see the
subject relegated to the rear until their
folly is forgotten. But it is still a live
subject and one that will have to be
given attention by congress, and it will
be present In the coming national cam
paign, no matter who may be the can
didates of the respective parties. In
a recent number of the American Econ
omist there is given the opinions Of
101 senators and representatives in
congress, and Of a large number Of the
editors OF prominent newspapers in all
parts Of the country, all of whom be-
lieve in the necessity for tariff revi-
sion along the line of protection to
American industries. There are let
ters from three congressman from Ken
lucky who declare themselves to be
protectionists. and they are joined by
three from Tennessee. four from Mis-
souri,, one from Texas, two from West
Virginia and a senator from Delaware.
or the newspaper opinions there are
letters from the west and south quite
as pronounced in favor of the protec-
ton idea as any from New England.
If anybody can read these letters and
still hold to the belief that the miser-
able failure made by the last congress
to better the condition of the country
trade and industries will be allowed to
stand unchanged he will read to little
purpose. The lesson set by Grover
Cleveland and his party has been a
dear one, but 1t was lesson that will
never be forgotten. The people have
had time to do deal of thinking and
they have thought tc good purpose. If
there is any one subject on which the
public mind has fingered more than
on another 1t is the destruction of the
purchasing power of the wage-earner
and the transfer of great part OF the
manufacturing industry of the coun-
try to foreign shores. The only rem
edy to be found is In a restoration of
the policy of protection. And it will
be done.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN CANAD.ll
Nearly Half of tho Members of the
Commons Favor 1t.

Nearly Half of tho Members of the
Commons Favor 1t.
A significant vote on woman suffrage
occurred last week in the Commons, at
Ottawa. 1t was the first time the ques-
ton ever came to vote in that body.
On May the Commons member for
Assiniboin, Mr.. N. f. DAWN, moved the
following resolution:
That. in the opinion of this house.
the privilege of voting for candidates
for membership thereof should be eX-
tended to women possessing the quali-
fications which nowentifle men to the
electoral franchise.
DIR. DAWN, who Is one of the most
widely read and eloquent men in the
house, followed up his motion with a
forcible address. The Hon. Mr.. Lau-
rier leader of the opposition, moved in
amendment:
That the question of woman's suf-
frage is one which, like all other ques-
lions concerning suffrage, more proper
ly belongs to provincial legislation.
This squarely challenged a party
vote, as the amendment attacked the
Dominion franchise. One of the notable
features of the debate which followed
was the emphatic pronouncement of
the leader of the Commons, the Hon.
Mr.. Foster, in personal favor of the res
olution.
The debate was continued at intervals
during the intervening weeks, and di-
vision took place on last Thursday. The
amendment was lost, by majority OF
"a. Mr.. Davins resolution was then
voted upon and defeated by los to AZ.

The Iron Industry.

The statistics of iron production tell
a sad story of the damage inflicted on
home industry by the free trade
agitation that attended the cleo
ton Of President Cleveland and
free trade tariff congress in
1892, and eliminated in the passing
Of the German bill in 1894.
In 1890 the United States produced
9.202,7O3 gross tons of pig iron. In
1894 the production fell to 6,657 1855
gross tons.
Under protection the production of
iron had increased with steady strides
until 1t attained the high figure named
in 1890, benefiting the whole country,
south as well as north. All this was
In accordance with the general devel-
opment of our industries under which
progress was the normal condition.
Hence 1t might have been expected
that the production of pig iron would
have gone on satisfactorily, and that
1t would have passed the $1,000 900 tons
mark by this time Instead, the fig
ures quoted show that our furnaces pro-
duced 2,545,315 gross tons less in 1894
than they did In 1890.
What did this shrinkage mean? 1t
meant less wages for the workmen
less money for the shopkeeper and
farmer; less demand for iron ore and
coal. 1t meant less dividends for the
capital invested; smaller inducements
% develop iron lands, and a heavy de-
crease In the general wealth of the
country.
In the south. where iron ore is SO
abundant. these facts. which concern
the who's country, should meet with
spe )nsideration. The addition OF
gross tons to the iron emelted

Owning Up.


The free traders are at last coming
around to face the situation. AS the
Express pointed out months ago. the
tariff must be revised in order to pro-
duce more revenue. If the idea of re-
storing protective duties is put aside.
the only thing left is to reimpose du-
ties on non-competing products, which
are now free. The treasury depart
ment is said to be considering with
Lluch favor proposition to put duty
on tea. 1t Is argued with beautiful
Inconsistency that duty could not
raise the price. Only protective duties
do that! Furthermore, it is said the
duty would greatly improve the quality
of the tea sold to Americans. What
a blessing duties are, to be sure, pro-
vided they do not tend to encourage any
American industry! Let the free trad
ers keep right on thinking in that line.
1t is the logic of the situation from
their view point. If they had recog-
med 1t at first they would have framed
law which would. at least, not have
been the humiliating failure that the
Wilson law is proving. But let the
free traders not overlook the fact that
a duty on tea would be inadequate to
meet the enormous deficit that is now
piling up. There must be a duty on
coffee, too, and good sized one at that.
Let them speak up boldly and say So.
1t will help greatly the efforts of the
republican congress to restore protec-
tive tariff which raises revenue by tax
