will also admit that doing away with
the horse cars was quite o blow. II
not only did away with the demand
for the yearly deficit, but 1t did away
with and threw upon the markets an
immense number Of horses that they
were at the time using, which at once
was death-blOw to prices. Farmers
began to get scared and unload, which
was right; and thus auction markets
opened, first at st. Louis, then at Chi
CsgO, Buffalo, New York, Boston
every large city In the unlon-snd their
receipts were not mainly from farmers,
but classes of men who saw the oppOr-
tunity and went to work to speculate,
There never was in the history Of this
world the number Of horses bought and
sold and changed hands that there has
been In the last five or six years. That
sounds prepOsterous. The first eight
months of 1893 we exported to Great
Britain lO,177; in 1894, 1854; in 1895,
22,750. These were not common
horses: this was not the nondescript
animal nobody wants. They were
either round, butter ball horses of 975
to l,025 for cab use in Paris, Berlin or
London, or the 1880 to 1900 and 1900
horses. They were the most intelli-
gently bred horses that the United
States could offer. They aggregated
In value 1884,, ,0O0-the expectation of
1895, l mean-snd they averaged $l55
per head. Now, to show you that there
were intelligently bred horses in the
United States, the Canadian imports-
tion into Great Britain averaged only
$l4l per head $14 less than the Amer
lean breed of horses-shoWing that
breeding not only found a market In
this great depression, but good price
for the product.
In 1895 there were 1900 mares
shipped to Great Britain. They brought
an average of $132 per head. This
only goes to show the want of thought
on the part of the farmer and breeder.
Not one of these mares should ever
have left the United States. tell
you, gentlemen, you may talk, Wehsve
864, 900 horses in Kansas; 1 don't know
how many mules; and will guarantee
to say that in that $4,000 horses in
the State of Kansas there are not | 600
mares that, from an intelligent stand
point, as a man would breed hog or
any other of the product live stock of
the farm, compare with them. That is
a great big statement to make, but If
you study as do, day In and day out,
from z o'clock in the morning to 6
o'clock in the evening, you would then
see that demonstrated to your entire
satisfaction.
What has the farmer done toward
getting this product ready for market ?
am speaking now of the cause of this
depression. The very moment this de-
preston came, to a very great extent
he lost his interst, and to-day, with
corn at Is or 18 cents in the State of
Kansas, within thirty-miles of Kansas
City Zone of the greatest centers we
have in the West), 81 per cent. Of the
horses come in there In no fit condi-
tiOn to work, with hair on them away
beyond their normal condition because
nature has rallied to their support In
