creased our imports. This is always
the result of Democratic tariff
Under both tariffs hides were free
OF course, when there were so
many imports of cattle and hides,
it reduced the number of our cattle.
Some of our cattle must have rOtted
on the prairies. 1t did not pay to
skin them, much less to market the
carcas. This is why the number of
cattle were reduced from $37, ,OOO, 900

Thus is whitening effect of the dead

cultural and industrial endeavor.
and i'm no industry is the lesson 80
clear as in the cattle and hide trade.
L have shown that this legislation
introduced uncertainty where GER
tainty existed; it brought about un-
dervaluation and instigated fraud;
it increased Importation to point
where it no longer became profitable
Tor American farmers to raise cattle;
it reduced our herds at home 5,OOO,-
900 head, making a loss of $4,000, 900
to the cattle raiser; and, lastly it
brought about "a depreciation of
M, ,0OO, 900.
And for what?
That Wilson and Bryan and a few
other Missionaries might try an exper

might be given the people. If there
is any other reason, it is not appar-
ent, for the changes were absolutely
senseless as they have proven disas-

THE CATTLE BUSINESS.
The Effect of Free Trade and
Democracy Upon that In
dustry.
FOREIGN Competition is STRONG.
Exports and Prices of American Cattle De-
clined and the Hide Business Was
Ruined.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-I have given
some facts in previous article show
ing the condition of our manufacture
ing Industries, and it is proposed i'm
this to take up an industry bearing
more more particularly on agricul-
ture.
In common with all other business,
the vast cattle interests of this city
have suffered most severely by rea-
son of the Wilson-Gorman law.
While many of the troubles the peo-
pie are suffering from may be attrib-
uted tn lack of confidence" and dis
turbance arising from the threatened
free and unlimited coinage of silver,
the trouble of the Chicago cattlemen
is the old fashioned tariff complaint,
for which the election Of William
Mckinley is the best known specific
remedy.
If the facts which propose to pre-
Sent do not prove the above asser-
ton beyond doubt l shall he glad
to- hear from any doubting cattle
man on the subject. These data
have not been gathered up hap
hazard, but carefully collected especi-
ally for this article by William r.
Carroll. statistical expert, ac-
quainted with the business, who has
visited personally the principal es-
Establishments of this city and talked
with those engaged in the business.
PREMIUM On FRAUD
The first thing that played havoc
with the cattle industry was a re-
turn to the advalorem system,
which is always bad for the farmer.
The proper way to levy duty ON
cattle is so much per head. Then
the American farmer knows what Inc
is competing with, as the element ol
fraudulent invoices and undervalua-
tion does not enter. The Mckinley
law provided for duty of - pei
head upon cattle l year old or less
year old. This was just and bust
ness-like. 1t, moreover, encouraged
honesty and, as we shall see, the
American cattle industry.
The WilsOn-Gorman law, on the
other hand, changed this specific ol
per capita duty to 20 per cent oil
every dollar of value. 1t made nG
distinction between imported liv,
animals. The value of the animal
moreover, was taken at the place q
export. Mexico might send i'm cattl,
and value them at 81 per head ant
pay 10 cents duty; the Argentine Re
public at a valuation of $3 per heas
and pay 60 cents, and Canada might
call it So per head and pay 81 duty
1t was n fraud and humbug alik,
upon the American farmer and cattl'
dealer. 1t opened the door wide I,
fraud, as ad valorem duties always
do. Thus the farmer sees his cattl,
industry destroyed and the Unitet
States government il defrauded o
revenue that it is entitled to ant
needs.
HERDS COMING IN.
First, then, this change from tn
Mckinley law to the Wilson-Gor
man law Increased the importation

HE UNDERSTOOD BETTING.

They laughed right merrily at him
"And So" they said, "she promised
to be your wife if Bryan was elected ?'
The news of the bet had just come
to them.
''It is true" he replied
Poor fool" obey continued. "She
was just having fun with you"
Perhaps" he answered, but you
haven't noticed me weeping any very
bitter tears, have you? I'm satisfied"
''You didn't want her, them"
We'll, I'm satisfied that she should
win the bet"
What does she VIM" they inquired.
"Me," he answered with considerable
satisfaction, Il was to be her husband
if Mckinley won and she was to be
my wife if Bryan proved victorious.
Perhaps some Of you gentlemen can
give me lessons IN the art of betting,
but l don't believe it."
And there was a general disposition
TO agree with him.

RED HAIR AND PAINTED LIPS.

The very becoming effect of the red
hair worn by Princess F'lavia in The
Prisoner of Zenda" has led to the pop
ularity of a very ruddy tone of bright
brown in the fashionable dye for hair.
Girls whose locks were golden in the
summer are now crowned with russell
cOiffures 1t is certain that red hair
brings out all the pearly tones in the
skin, subduing the sallow tints, and
gives a deeper tone to the eyes. Even
men are said to be affecting the new
wash" l called it dye a few lines
above, forgetting that there is now no
such thing as hair dye. 1t is always
a wash" Sounds So clean and inno-
cent, you know. But some inkling of
its true nature may be gathered from
the cost. More than one smart matron
has said to herself, very much to her
self: ''Shall l have a new tea gown or
half a dozen bottles Of the new wash?"
She can't afford both, you know!
The new color, then, is deep au
burn, and yet a peculiarly bright red
tint in the high lights. Rust is the
principal ingredient in the dye. 1t is
harmless one, and gradually wears
away, leaving the hair the original
tint. That is one reason why it is so
costly. Five applications-"c coats"
they would be called by painters-suf-
flee at first, and afterwards the same
number secures a repetition Of the eff
feet. A man who prides himself on his
resemblance to Vandyck has been
using it for some years on his beard,
believing himself very picturesque in
consequence.
Mothers actually take their lovely
children, boys as well as girls, to have
their hair dyed the fashionable red
sunset purple" as it is called by some.
Baby fringes are used on some of these
scraps, bought in the BARRIERS shops
ready curled and dyed. The costume
is studiously assorted to the character
OF the dye, and art thus early plays
its poisonous part in the sweet young
lives to which old Mother Nature
should suffice for time at least.
Dyed hair on adults is pardOnable as
compared with the painted lips, now
SO fashionable. The smart makeup of
the moment consists Of a creamy pallor
on the cheeks, few darkened touches
round the eyes, and a pair of painted
lips, far ruddier than the cherry. We
have not yet got so far as inserting
diamonds in the front teeth, like some
American bellies, but we are getting
on. With rouge on the lips in private
life, the girl of the period is advancing.

1t is said that on tine back of this
letter George Sand wrote the words:
ITO the stupid Pagelio." The wonder
is, were these words written i'll pleas
antry or in contempt? Did the gifted
woman merely mean to jest with her
big shouldered lover, or had she learn
ed too late that all her fine frenzy was
being wasted on a man who, instead
of proving himself the Apollo of her
dreams had at last shown himself to
be of very ordinary clay.
