But without continuing the details
at tedious length it may be stated that
the aggregate exports of agricul tural
products in 1892, under the Mckinley
tariff and Blaine reciprocity treaties,
were valued at S799, 1925. 232; and in
1895. under the Wilson tariff, they were
only $3.50, 215,317.
There is one thing more about prices.
Jan. 1, 1892, a.bushel of barley would
buy 149s pounds of sugar; Jan. /, 1896,
It would buy only 90 pounds. Jan. 1,
1892. one barrel of onions would buy
so pounds of sugar; Jan. /, 1896, it
would buy only II pounds. At the
former date one barrel of potatoes
would buy % pounds of sugar, and at
the latter IA pounds. At the former
date a bushel of wheat would buy %
pounds of sugar, and at the latter 1871
pounds.
Under the encouragement given TO
the home grown article by the McKin-
ley tariff, sugar was cheaper and grain
crops brought better price than
under the policy which superseded it
A return TO the protective theory, in
the tariff, is what the agricultural as
well as the manufacturing classes
want TO vote for at the next election.

There was nothing that furnished the
Democrats quite so much satisfaction
during the first part of the Cleveland
administration as the sbrogation of the
reciprocity treaties that had been ne
gotiated by Mr.. Blaine. The Demo
Gratis seemed to have a particular spite
against Mr.. Blaine and were in great
glee whenever one of his carefully pre-
pared treaties was wiped out. 1t is
true those treaties were making such
markets as we never had before for our
farm products and manufactures, but
that made no difference; they were
Blaine's work and they must go, and
go they did, with sorry results as re-
CARDS trade.

In 1895, under the WilsonGorman
tariff, they rose again TO 2,l16,s1
bushels. In other words the Mckinley
tariff and reciprocity treaties caused
an increase of exports from 973,6
bushels to 5,2l9, 405 bushels, and de-
crease of imports from 1l.327.052 in
1890 TO 79l, O6l in 1894 This was GER
tainly a very satisfactory condition of
the foreign trade TO the American bar
ley grower, a condition which the Will
son tariff has exactly reversed.
OF beans and peas under the McKin-
ley act in 1892 the exports were 637, 972
bushels, and the imports were s74,050
bushels. In 1895. under the Wilson
tariff, the exports had dropped to PAP, 6S2
bushels, and the imports had increased
to 1875, 9l3 bushels.
OF bacon and hams the exports in
1892 were 5s4, 776, $50 pounds, in 1895
they were 55s, O44. 099.
OF cattle we imported in 1892 only
2,l6s, valued at SAL, 466, and in 1894
only 1852. In the calendar year 1895,
under the Wilson tariff. the imports
had risen to 236, sss. With this in
crease of imports of cattle, there came
a decrease of exports from 1914, COZ,
valued at S35, O99. Og5 in 1892, to 2s9, $50
ender year 1895.
In corn the exports in value fell off
from Sal. 500. 400 in the fiscal year 1892,
to Sl4, $50, 767 in the calendar year 1895.
The butter exports were 15,047, 246
pounds in 1892, and IL, S22, 092 in 1894,
while in 1895. under the Wilson tariff,
they fell off to 5.59s,S12 The cheese
exports were So, 100. 22l pounds in 1892,
and 1859. 134 in 1894, and only 40, $780,
934 in 1895.
Under free trade in eggs in 1888,
1889 and $780, we imported over Is, 900, :
600 dozen each year. With duty of
five cents a dozen levied the imports
fell off to l.79l, 430 dozen in 1894 and
under the Wilson tariff they rose again
to 2, 700. All dozen in 1895.
In 1894. with total potato crop of
10. 7s7, 1913 bushels, we exported s03,-
Ill bushels, while in 1895 with pro-
duct of 297. 237. $40 bushels, we exported
only 572. 1857 bushels.
In 1892 we exported TO the countries
on the American continent with which
we had reciprocity treaties, s,s43, 6ss
barrels of -four. In 1895. with the re-
ciprocity treaties abrogated, we ex-
ported only 4,563, 9O5 barrels to the

NEW REORGANIZATION PROJECT,
Which 1t Is Said VIII Be Carried Out

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Judge La
combe, of the United States district
court, has rendered a decision approx
ing the appointment of Frank Bge-
low and Edward McHenry as receivers
for the Northern Pacific railway in this
district.
At a few minutes to o'clock today
Judge Lacombe gave his decision on
the motion for the appointment of re-
ceivers for the Northern Pacific rail-
road. 1t is as follows:
In view of tie order heretofore made
by Justice Brown while assigned to
this district, I am prepared to sign
an order in similar form to that made
in the court Of so-called primary juris-
diction-consolidatin the two suits,
accepting designations of the old re-
ceivers and appointing the new ones
but with clause providing that there
shall be kept within this jurisdiction
a sum of money not less than 100000,
to provide for the claims of any cred
1tors here, and further providing for
the service Of papers upon such re-
ceivers in any case begun here.
"1nasmuch as the new receivers are
non-residents and this court therefore
has no means Of enforcing their COM
pliance with the above terms by per-
sonal process they should give a joint
bond in the sum Of S100 ,000."

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
SUFFERERS KNOW THE TERRORs
OF THAT AILMENT,
And Would Give Anything in Their
Power to Secure Relief.
A Prominent Chicago Railway Off,
ciaI Gets This Relief and Tes-
titles How He Got 1t.

No sufferer from nervous dyspepsia needs
to be told of the miseries suffered and the
effects upon both mind and body of this most
loss of appetite is followed by loss Of strength
and both are accompanied by restlessness
and sleeplessness. Disorders dangerous to
life itself follow in dyspepsia's train, and to
secure relief the sufferer would not begrudge
any sacrifice possible, no matter how great.
There is a remedy and a sure one, which
cures dyspepsia and its attendant ills, leaves
no evil effects behind and renews strength
and vigor of mind and body. Mr.. ]. G. Heit-
balm, Freight Agent of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul Railway at Chicago, is known

straightforward, business-like fashion he
tells how he was sick and what cured him.

REFUSE TO RETRENCH.
House Defeats an Attempt to Reduce
Salaries.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-The house
in committee Of the whole again to-
day refused to follow some Of the Re-
publican leaders in the matter of re-
ducing the salaries of Indian inspect
ors from $4,000 to $500, the latter be-
ing the salary in the law for the cur
rent year. An appeal was made to the
house in behalf Of economy and re-
trenchment, and was defeated TODAY
they renewed the struggle. Their de-
feat today was emphasized by the fact
that parliamentary Wrangle of over
two hours was required to demon
Strate that their amendment was in
order, and that, having won the first
half Of their victory in the decision of
the chair, the house, by vote of SITS.
refused to adopt the amendment. In
pursuance of their policy Of retrench-
ment, however, Mr.. Cannon raised a
point Of order against two provisions
which changed existing law, and thew
went out of the bill. The progress to-
day was very slow, only two of the
sixty-one pages Of the Indian bill be-
ing disposed of.
While Mr.. Talbert, of South Caro-
lima, and Bowess, Of California, two
rather hot-headed gentlemen were
hammering away at each other during
the debate with much lustiness Of
voice and a whirlwind of gesticula-
lions, some ardent sportsman called
out: $50 it Fitz." Amid the laughter
that followed, some one called out
"time," and the incident closed. The
house adjourned over Saturday, except
for night session devoted to private
pension bills.
The evening session of the house was de-
voted exclusively to the private pension calen-
dar Five bills were passed, and nine were
reported to the house by the committee of the
whole, with favorable Recommendation, AT
10 80 the house adjourned
