DECREASE IN LIVE STOCK.

1t is really remarkable how much
genuine interest may be developed by
so prosaic an affair as a statistical re-
port by the department of agriculture
on farm animals. 1t is singular fact,
to commence with, that the aggregate
value of such animals showed an an
nual increase for many years, without
interruption, up to 1884. Then it fell
behind. An increase was again record
ed in 1889, and the same process was
continued until 1898, since which year
it has steadily decreased.
The official valuation at the first of
the present year was $40, 10000 less
than it was twelve years before, and
about $756, 100000 less than the third
year previous. This is certainly sur
prising showing. Not even a profes-
sional statistician would have imagined
that such a showing was possible. The
general impression has been that our
farm animals have almost steadily in
creased in both quality and quantity.
But quite the reverse seems to have
been the case. For instance, the ag-
gregate value OF horses in 1895 was not
even half that in 1892. This fact can
not be attributed TO the recent invasion
Of the equine domain by modern me-
chanical inventions. The official re-
cords shows that the number of horses
did not begin to fall off till 1893. The
same is true of mules, the aggregate
value OF which is only a little more than
half of what it was in 1890.
Then. we find that mich COWS in
creased slowly in numbers up to 1895,
but decreased last year by 361,O43.
This, however, is somewhat relieved by
the fact that cows for other than milch
purposes increased both in quantity
and quality. Oxen and cattle other
than milch cows decreased last year
more than 100000 in number, but
averaged an increase in value OF S1-S0
per head. Since 1898 the aggregate
value OF sheep has decreased S6o,OOO.-
600. or nearly One-half. There was a
decrease in numbers for last year Of
about 100000. and Of nearly 100000
for the two next preceding years. This
is wholly attributable 10 adverse Demo
cratic tariff legislation.
The changes indicated by recent Of
dcial statistics for other animals are
more or less due 10 visible causes. The
introduction and rapidly growing use
Of trolley and cable cars, and the aston {
iShing popularity Of the bicycle have
unquestionably had much TO do with |
the decreased demand FOR horses. and !
the consequent discouragement Of pro- |
duction in this department OF industry. /
The hog, however, seems 10 hold his /
own under almost all circumstances (
Still. Germany's recent discrimination /
against this American product has IN /
dcubtedly had a deleterious effect upon /
our pork interests.

Well, that is funny! Why. the people have
repudiated them ever since I can Temem-
er. The Gentiles pay just about as much

does 10 prohibition. The law cuts about
the same figure in a political campaign

beautiful wife Of Urah. But. then. it was
nailed TO the cross eighteen hundred and
about fifty years ago. 1t was weak in
matters Of conscience. but strong in fling
ing stones. To reinstate the law would.
in effect. make Jesus an imposter, and
justify the Hebrews in killing him-which
would overthrow the whole system Of

THE FARMER MUST LIVE.

A writer in one OF the New York
dailies is in great distress of mind over
the drift of population from the coun-
! try to the cities and towns. He sees,
or thinks he sees in il, a scarcity of
breadstuffs and all farm products, and
all staples viii be higher. In this he
may be correct, but the prominence he
gives it only proves that he looks at
the question from n selfish standpoint
He fails altogether TO mention that
prices are abnormally low on all farm
products. and, by such omission, shows
his Indifference TO the welfare of the
man who plows and reaps. This shift
ing of population, the welfare, and even
the subsistence of the farmer, and the
consequences which he predicts from
these unnatural changes, are all ques-
tiOns which he measures by the cold
calculation Of dollars and cents TO him
self.
This writer is a fair representative
Of eastern estimate of the western
farmer. He voices the sentiment of
those who write and those engaged in
other pursuits. He shows unwittingly,
in labored article, that he has probed
the subject no further than the bottom
OF his own pocket. Had he been fair,
he would have touched upon the main,
and real reason for this change which
he so greatly deplores. Had he stated
that the market value of all agricul-
tural products is lower now than ever
before, that present prices admit of
little more than actual starvation to the
producer, that present figures are the
legitimate outgrowth of a system of
tolls and commissions to gamblers and
middle men, that the extra freight
charges incident to watered stock and
that the market price of everything the
farmer raises has been reduced one
half by the diabolical scheme of a few
money lords to make gold the only real
money Of the country, and retiring that
from circulation, he would have named
a few of the salient causes for discour-
aged farmers moving to the city. These
newspaper tools of eastern money
kings may theorize till they die of
writers paralysis" but they will not
change an iota Of present economic con-
ditiOnS. Neither will they divert the
public mind from causes, known TO
everybody, for the depressed condition
of agriculture in this country. This
drifting to the cities may not be of the
farmers own choosing, but it is nat
ural consequence OF causes which. have !
their origin among those who control |
our mOnied interests. If the plutocrat, |
and the stock jobber Is uncomfortable |
over the encroachment Of hayseed pop |
he had better turn his talents |
toward policy which will allow the |
farmer to live. A general move from |
the country to the city may, indeed,
prove the heroic remedy for low prices |
