FROM MIssoURI.-DELL, Mo, April
10, lS96.-Editor of The Our
LOOK: As / have read The OUTLOOK
every week since l left KY, and,
indeed, would not know how to do
without it, will say that in COM
pairing The OUTLOOK with the coun-
ty papers of either Iowa or Mis-
souri, it bears close inspection with
any of them.
AS you are aware l left Ky. two
years ago last February. For the
past two years l have lived in De-
catur county, Iowa. Iowa ID fine
place for a man of means to live.
Land-that is, good land-is high.
OF course, poor land is cheap
enough. The main crops are corn,
hay, oats and potatoes. Potatoes
are raised extensively in the west
ern counties, but not great deal
of wheat. Small fruit-such as
grapes, blackberries, raspberries
and strawberries, are there in abun-
dance. Apples are the principal
large fruit. Monied men are fast
buying up the land in Decatur
county.
Three months ago 1 moved to
Missouri. l like it splendidly.
The climate is lovely; such good
water, and, consequently, not much
sickness. The soil is a great deal
like Ky. 1t would be O fine tobacco
country if the farmers would devote
the time to that product; but they
do not; it is very rocky, and has
the finest timber / ever saw. We
have a fine prospect for everything,
fruit in particular. Wherever there
is a fruit-seed dropped there is sure
to be fruit-tree.
live but a short distance from
two beautiful streams, the Usage
and Pomme de Terre rivers. There
is plenty of fish in both of them.
Warsaw, our county-seat, is -four
ishing little town of little over a
thousand, located on the Usage
river.
have been engaged in farming
since left Ky. My oats are fine.
Complaining will soon be a thing
of the past. Our spring is unusu-
ally late this year. The staples of
this county are corn, wheat, pota-
toes, oats and hay. Land sells
from $1.50 to $50 per acre; in fact,
the cheapest land ever saw. They
are going to put railroad through
this place so as to make connection
with Springfield, that beautiful
city in the extreme southern part
of the State, located at the foot of
the Ozark mountains; therefore,
land is advancing pretty fast.
If you remember, for the last two
summers that 1 was in Ky. 1 was
sick, but my health is 90 much
better 1 have worked nearly every
day since 1 left home; and this
spring l am indeed quite robust
for me.
1 would like to make my relatives
and friends on Ky. soil visit, and
take my little Iowa wife, to show
them that Iowa has pretty women
as we'll as KY; and 1 think l shall
as soon as can arrange it. / sus-
pect that 80 many changes have
taken place that / shall scarcely
recognize Owingsville. 1 guess ]
had better close, for fear my letter
will find the waste basket; but if il
doesn't l shall endeavor to write
again in the near future.
Yours truly,

itan Hospital, Cincinnati. How
ever, she grew rapidly worse after
her last trip to the hospital, the
disease affecting the spinal cord
and Fastening dissolution. She
passed away surrounded by rela-
tives and kind friends, who had
been unintermittent in their loving

tian Church, of which the de-
ceased was a member. Immediate
ly afterward the funeral cortege

ingsville Cemetery, where, after

ed by Elder Porter, the casket was
consigned to the earth. The at
tendance of mourners was very
large, the deceased being widely
related and having many friends.

was Miss Ann Burbridge. She
was a daughter of "Uncle Jack"
Burbridge, a very prominent and
esteemed citizen in his day. She
was born near Reynoldsville, this

happy union with him all the bal
ance of her life. Their only child,

two years. OF her fathers fam
lily there survive her Mrs. Miranda

com, who resides with her daugh-
ter, west of town; James Walter

TIL. CHIEF TARIFF DIFFICULTY.

The organ of the Philadelphia Manu-
facturers' Club has very forcibly shown
the futility of all efforts to make tariff
duties dependant upon the differences
in cost of production between this and
foreign countries. The paper showed,
among other things, the difficulty of
getting evidence as TO the real cost OF
production. Our contemporary. how
ever. has neglected to consider the evil
dence furnished by the ability OF our
manufacturers to export their products
and sell them in competition with those
of foreign producers. The Engineering
and Mining Journal brings light on this
point to the Philadelphia in the fol-
lowing paragraph:
considerable comment has been made
by ourselves and other plain-spoken mem
bers of the press on the fact that rail-
makers in this country can afford 10 make
contracts at Sc a ton less for shipment
abroad than they will supply the same
goods TO enterprising corporations or In,
dividuals al home who may desire to build
up some new section Of country or extend
some railroad system by possibly profit
able feeder"
1t may be thought that there is some
thing peculiar about steal rails and that
even if the railmakers do rob the con-
sumers Sc per ton by means of Trust
or combine, they are only railroads, and
that no sympathy is due to them. Well,
the Engineering and Mining Journal
goes on TO say:
1--WE find the same treatment is dealt
out TO contractors. retailers, and ultimate
" 10 poor householders in the matter of
nails. BY the use of brains. intelligence,
and the spur of competition we can pro-
duce the best and the cheapest nails in the
world, But why should these nails be sold
abroad 30 per cent. cheaper than in TINS
country"
Neither Mckinley nor any of his fol-
2owers have attempted to answer this
conundrum. They will have numerous
others of the same kind thrust at them
in the coming campaign.
