Existing Evils
CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-Samuel W. Aller-
ton, packer. farmer. manufacturer and
stockman, has taken up the cudgel for
the restoration Of reciprocity. lie de-
clares that 1t is the only available pol
Icy that will give the government Of
the United States the financial relief
it needs Immediately, and at the same
time revive the depressed spirits OF the
agricultural portion Of the community.
Reciprocity, Mr.. Allerton believes, will
be the keynote Of the coming national
campaign, and that it will be sounded
by the republicans SO loudly that the
tariff will be heard only as secondary
issue.
Just now Mr.. Allerton is busy draft
ing memorial to congress which will
contain voluminous statistics, gathered
from official sources, showing how
many millions Of dollars have been
lost by the farmers since reciprocity
ceased between this country and for
eign nations. He is not undertak ng
this task in an inadvertent capacity,
but as the representative OF the Ma
tional Live Stock exchange, one OF the
most powerful commercial organiza-
tions In the United States. II has Q
membership Of 600 stock raisers and
shippers, distributed among the cities
Of Pittsburgh, Buffalo, st. Louis, Kan
sas City, Omaha, Sioux City and Chi
cago, who are, according to Mr.. Aller.
ton, almost unanimous in their demand
for the restoration Of reciprocity, dem
ocrats and republicans alike.

thousand intrudcrs in the Cherokee
nation, whose ejectment was ordered
TO take place January /, and in whose
behalf senate resolution staying the
operation OF the order is pending in

thoritative assurance that the execu.
tive department Of the government

Smith told q correspondent that he
had definitely and positively de-
termined to suspend the operation
Of the order, at least temporarily.
lie will bring the matter to the
attention Of the president in a few
days, or SO soon as Mr.. Cleveland finds
respite from the larger labors that
now occupy all his time. At the cons
ference plan Of action will be de,
termined upon which will be charac-
tcrized by discretion, justice and hui
manity. The thousands affected by 1t
may dismiss all present fears, though
the leading Cherokees are here urging
instant action on the appointed day.
