The Farmers Egg Basket.

1t is some time since we Looked in
to the farmers egg basket. Then it
was well filled with good fresh eggs
that sold readily in all American
markets, the competition from Canada
Europe and China and elsewhere hav-
ing been stopped under the Mckinley
Tariff.
But we have a new Tariff now a
German Tariff. which reduced the
duty. on eggs from five to three cents
q dozen. In order to learn how this
is working for the benefit of American
farmers we have looked up the imports
of eggs s'nce September. 1894, a few
days after the new bill became law
and find, from the figures of the
Treasury Department that the i'm
ports Of eggs compare as follows;

farmers we have looked up the imports
Of eggs s'nce September. 1894, a few
days after the new bill became law
and find, from the figures of the
Treasury Department. that the i'm

Increase. s296ie 25s,ess
The new Tariff had been in effect
only four months when we imported
almost 200, 900 dozen more eggs than
during the corresponding four of 1898.
The money loss TO the farmers was
S29, GAP in this short time. which is at
the rate of three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars year. This much
money distributed among the farmers
wives would come in mighty handy
during these hard times. when ever
the Treasury has run short and had
to buy gold at high rate of interest.
This German bill is not doing much
good for the farmers in this country,
and the Canadians know it. This is
what we find in the Canadian Trade
Review of February Is:
1--WE seem to be getting back our
egg market across the border. Last
week ten car loads were shipped from
Montreal to New York, and realized
net profit to the slipper of 3 cents
above what he could get at home
The demand there is far from exhaust
ed, and further supplies from Canad-
ian points will probably find a rising
market. This reminds us of old times.
Before the passage of the Mckinley
act our egg exports across the border
ran oquite large figures, amounting
in 1899 ~ Il 9ll0l7 dozen, of the
value OF -, l56.725 The Scent duty
OF that tariff cutdown these exports to
the value Of 1921, 355 in the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1898 The present
duty Is 3 cents a dozen, rate which
should not make it impossible to do an
egg trade of the former magnitude
with our neighbors.
This German bill seems to be COR
mandizing every little profit that the
farmer used to make He has lost
mon y on his wheat, corn and cotton
crops, and now the Canadian eggs are
coming in again, which means more
eggs in the market. Too many eggs
mean too low prices, and no pocket
money for the farmers wife after she
has paid for the chicken feed.

His Libel Case Against the Marquis of

LONDON, April 6.-The case of Oscar
Wilde against the Marquis of Queensberry
for libel was brought to close in a YER
dict in favor of the defendant. The jury
found not only that the defendant was not
guilty of libel but in subsidiary verdict
declared that the Marquis of Queensberry's
charges We're true and had been made for
the public good. The verdict was received
with loud applause.
The court room was crowded almost to
suffocation when Mr.. Carson resumed his
speech in behalf of the Marquis of Queens

said, to put upon the witness stand men
who would speak freely of the nature of
their connection with the plaintiff, Wilde.

servants, etc, not belonging to Mr.. Wilde's
station in life not interested in literature
or art, yet they addressed this distin-
guished dramatist by his Christian name
Oscar, he in turn calling them Charlie,
Freddie, etc Mr.. Carson said he would
produce overwhelming evidence Of Wilde's
immoral character.
Sir Edward Clarke, Wilde's counsel, in
terrupted Mr.. Carson. He said he had
consulted with Wilde in the interim of the
adjournment of the court, and, in order to
save the court the painful details con
nected with the rest of the case, he was pre-
pared to accept a verdict of the jury in re-
gard TO Wildes literature.
The judge interposed and said if the jury
were justified in agreeing upon IA verdict
on one part of the case they must return a
verdict of guilty or not guilty as regards
the entire case. The jury then rendered a
verdict of not guilty, to which Sir Edward
Clarke assented. The judge granted an
order requiring Wilde to pay the costs Of
the defense
Soon after the adjournment of court
Wilde was arrested on a warrant sworn
! out by Mr.. Lewis, solicitor of the treasury.
! The warrant against him charges gross
immortality" and refers to his unnatural
relations with young men and boys.
Wilde was arrested at the Cadogan hotel
shortly after o'clock last evening. At
$40 p m he was taken to the Bow street
police station. He was very pale, but COOL
and stood with his hands in his pockets
while the charge against him was taken.
A police inspector read the charge aloud
and asked Wilde if he had anything to say,
adding the usual warning that anything
he said might be used against him. The
prisoner remained apparently Indifferent,
and made no reply.
He was then searched, after which he
was locked in a cell Shortly after he had
been locked up one of his friends arrived
in carriage at the station, with a small
Gladstone bag containing a change of
clothing and other necessaries, but the po-
lice refused TO permit him to leave it,
Later Lord Alfred Douglas, the Marquis
of Queensberry's son, went to the police
station and inquired whether Wilde could
be admitted to bail, The police inspector
explained that Wilde had been arrested
for a criminal offense which did not allow
of bail being accepted until he had been
arraigned in court.
The name of Oscar Wilde has been with
drawn from the play bills and advertise
ment of the two tbeaters, the st. James
and the Haymarket, where two of his
plays are running.
