INFERIOR GOODS SENT ABROAD.
One Reason Why Our Foreign Trade
Docs Not GrOxY.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA special agent
of the Department of Agriculture who has
been making inquiries under the direction
of the Secretary of Agriculture into the
general subject of our trade with Germany
in live stock and meats, has some observa-
tons to offer in a recent report on the ne
cessity of shipping only the best goods
abroad If we are to retain any trade with
foreigners. He says: THE sales Of Amer
lean lard and canned goods in general are
increasing constantly. Although the present
high prices OF meats are largely responsible
for the large demand. 1t can be said that
Germany will always be a good market
for these products, providing American ex-
porters furnish only the best goods. When
making inquiries / am frequently confronted
with the question: What firm do you rep
resent and upon explanation often learn
that purchasers do not receive the goods
they have contracted for | do not wish
to say that American exporters intention
ally send inferior goods abroad, but COM
missoners not particular, and they
consider almost anything good enough for
the German markets. thereby doing our
export trade great injury. Not alone are
the food laws very stringent, but local re-
strictions and sanitary regula lions are also
very strict, and the shipping OF inferior
goods can only have a tendency to make
them more stringent, thus doing permanent
damage. l fully understand that prime
qualities of lard not sent abroad They
demand "A better price at home than the
seems sometimes that the most inferior stuff
put up ana used In America as axle grease
Is sold here at the smaller places, where
sanitary regulations are not strict"

The fact that the House Democratic
caucus yesterday advised the passage of
the revised Carlisle currency bill by
vote of 81 to So and then declared that
the vote was not binding, disclosed once
more the inability of the Democratic
party in Congress to construct anything
practical in the way of financial legis-
lation Unless the fifty-nine who voted
against advising accept the advice of
the eighty-one, even the Carlisle bill
cannot be passed by the House. That
seventy Democratic members did not at
tend the caucus would indicate that a
large part Of them either have no inter-
est in financial legislation or have no
confidence in the capacity of their party
to accomplish it. All admit that there
is not the least probability that the
amended Carlisle bill will be passed by
the Senate, consequently the House,
with but few weeks in which to work,
wastes it's time in debating measure
which cannot become a law when the
current obligations of the government
could not be paid If it were not for the
power of the Secretary of the Treasury
to sell bonds under an act passed by a
Republican Congress in January, 1875.
With a monthly deficit averaging S6,000,-
600 the Democratic House makes no
move to relieve the Treasury. Never
was such incapacity confessed and. pub
lished by an American House of Repre-
sentatives

WASHINGTON, Jan. Patents Nos
322393 and 36SS9S for inventions in clay
disintegrators, owned by c. and A. Potts
& Co., of Indianapolis, were to-day sus-
tanned broadly by the Supreme Court in
q suit brought by the Messrs. Potts nearly
six years ago against Creager ct al, Of
Cincinnati, for infringement. These patents
are Of great value and Importance. the
invention being used in nearly every large
clay manufacturing establishment in the
country. The patents were declared in
valid by the court below and have been
extensively infringed by rival manufacture
ers. The Supreme Court sustains the
patents as new inventions and holds that
the defendants machines infringe. This is
of great Importance to Messrs Potts, as
it gives them the control of the clay dis
integrater business and entities them to
collect damages from all users of other
machines
A decision was rendered in the case of
the State of California VS. Hooper by
Justice White, involving the constitution
atty of a State law prohibiting foreign
insurance companies doing business in the
State. The decision sustained this right of
the State on the ground that insurance is
not interstate commerce, but Justices Har-
Ian, Brewer and jackson dssented, on the
ground that the statute permitted inter-
ference with the private rights or citizens
or the United States.
The court also decided in the case of

Parker. The case has attracted some at

DO NOT REALIZE THE PERIL.
COngresmen Taking Little Interest in
the War Our Tariff Law

THO WIZ Oh OuE Turin Law.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7-What action
Congress will take to end the growing
tariff complications between this govern
ment and the European powers, or wheth-
any measure will be adopted for that
purpose, are questions clouded in uncer-
tainty. Considering the Importance of the
tariff war to commercial interests, the at
tention given to it by members of Cors-
gIess is noticeaby slight. Chairman WIFE,
son, of the ways and means committee rex
Gently introduced a bill, in accordance
with the recommendations in the Presi-
dents message, to repeal the one-tenth of
a cent differential on sugar, which evoked
protests from Germany and Austria and
which, it is stated, inspired retaliatory
action by the former government in the
form of prohibition of American beef. But
1T is not altogether certain that the ways
and means committee will report this bill
to the House, nor is it at all assured that
the House will pass it in case it energies
from the committee and is given a hearing.
Mr.. Wilson asked about the prospects
of the bill but did not speak enthusiastic
cally of them. He said, in answer to a
question, that it's claims for consideration
might be brought to the attention of the
rules committee after the currency bill had
been disposed of. but added that the re-
naming time of this Congress was very
short and there would be a great pressure
the committee for allotments of time
for various other important bills.
Illinois being the stronghold of the meat
business, the Representatives from that
State have been appealed to to do some
thing in the interest of their constituents
Representative Aldrich, of Chicago. is re-
ceiving many communications on the SUBJ
ject and intends to talk with his colleagues
not to suggest legislation, but 20 ascertain
what will be their attitude toward what
ever the Democrats may propose. Whether
the Republicans will cooperate with the
Democrats in remedial legislation becomes
open question, since it is k-Swn that
the Democrats are not agreed upHl their
course, a faction of them thinking with
Mr.. Whiting that any tariff legislation will
be lnwise. Mr.. Cannon said that the af-
firmative negative votes of the Repub-
licans might hinge whether, in their es-
TINA ton, the supplementary act proposed
would entail greater disadvantages than
the existing sugar schedule and partcu-
larly whether it would reduce the revenue
of the government which was now INSULT
cient to meet its expenses. If the ways
and means committee would propose to
enact the reciprocity system which Con-
gress had obliterated with marked discour-
tesy to the foreign governments parties
thereto. as well as to the detriment of
American business, he said sarcasticaly,
the Republicans would cooperate with
them heartily. He did not see how Mr..
Wilson could be expected TO become the
leader of a movement to repair features
which the Senate had imposed on his bin
against his opposition

From the wheat crop of the Argentine
Republic for the year 1893 more than
50000,000 of bushels was exported to
Europe. So large an export from
country which did not produce sufficient
wheat Cor it's own use few years ago
was a surprise to other exporting coun-
tries. Early IN the season it was as
serted that the export from the crop
of 1894 would exceed that of 1898 by 10
per cent. The latest advices from Ar
gentine. however. are to the effect that
the new crop will be 35 per cent. smaller
than the last which will cut down the
exportable surplus materially. to the adj
