The steamship Pontos, of the Ham
burg-American Packet Company, which
left Hamburg, December l6, with gen
eral cargo is now due at Philadelphia.
The Pontos will be the first German
vessel arriving here under the new en-
forcement of tonnage tax ordered by
the special proclamation of the presi-
dent against German vessels. The reg
istered tonnage of the Pontos is 2,Ol4
tons, and the new tax is increased &
cents on each ton. This will bring the
vessels expenses to nearly $l25 more

German government continued to treat

tably.

Railroads.

The experience of the past few
years has not been very satisfactory
to those who furnish capital with
which to build and equip railroads,
and though projects for new lines of
road are frequently announced, it is
probable that but few railroads will
be constructed for many years TO
come. Present conditions, and any
that are likely soon to arise, are un-
favorable to any considerable in
crease of the railroad mileage of this
country until its resources shall be-
come more fully developed.
The comparatively large number
of lines which have been operated
by receivers during the past four
years has not been very inspiring to
capitalists and they will hesitate
long before advancing money for the
construction of new lines, except in
rare instances where the absolute
need of railroad facilities will guar
antee the investment to be a paying
one, and this need can be conclu-
siNely shown.

RIVER FALLS, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY. JANUARY "A. 1897
Bimetdlkrn.

Though the Republican party was
compelled during the recent presi-
Dental campaign practically to
adopt as its own the cause of the
single gold standard as the basis for
our monetary system, the st. Louis
convention, by which Major Nc
Kinley was nominated for the presi
dency, did not utterly ignore the
right of the bimetalists to considera-
ton. The recognition of this right
was embodied in the proposition to
favor an international congress for
the purpose of considering this sub
iect with a view 10 securing an in
ternational adoption of a bimetalic
standard. Whether or not such an
agreement can be secured, only sub
sequent events can determine, but
the Republican party can, and we
have no doubt will, redeem its
pledge in this matter. Should the
incoming Republican administra-
ton be instrumental in securing the
cooperation of strong financial ma
tions in the creation of congress
for this purpose, it viii have full
filled its promise upon this point,
and the responsibility for the adop-
ton or rejection of the proposition
for an international bimetalic sys-
tenn will rest with the conference ap-
pointed for its consideration. 1t is
probable that the present Republic
can House will make an effort to
bring about the formation of an in
ternational monetary conference, but
whether or not its effort will be Sec
onded by the Senate and Executive is
somewhat problematical. If the eff
fort should fail during the present
session of Congress, the subject will
be taken up by the next House, and
with a president in harmony there
with, only the Senate can interpose
to defeat the measure to provide for
the appointment of a commission to
represent the United States in the
proposed conference. We feel con-
strained to believe, however, that,
should the conference indicated be
secured, the proposition for the es-
adjustment of an international BIZ
metallic monetary system would be
rejected, experience having proved
the difficulty of preserving intact
the parity between the two metals
at the ratio of Is to /, or at any
other ratio.

Silly Silver Shouters.

Those silver men who are waxing
eloquent over the proposition that
the long line of recent bank failures
are attributable to McKinley's cleo
ton and that the Republican party
has failed to redeem its promises,
are showing themselves to be a silly
set. Almost three months must
yet elapse before the Republican
party comes into possession of the
powers delegated to it by the people
at the recent election, and all the
bank wrecking that has been done
during the past three years md nine
months occurred under Democratic
rule, which the silver people voted
10 perpetuate for another four years,
though, happily, without success.
We are free to confess that we are
not of the number who believe that
the Inauguration of Major Mckinley
as president of the United States
viii usher in the millennium, but
beg the privilege of suggesting that
it would be in far better taste for the
silver contingent to reserve their
structures upon the alleged bad faith
on the part of the Republican party
until after the fourth of March next
1t is quite probable that soon after
that tine they viii be able to dis.
cern manifest purpose by Repub.
lieans to fulfill their promises to tbs
people.

under existing circumstances. The
number of horses has rapidly de-
creased within the last three or four
years and be tier demand is the in
evitable consequence. He gave many
hints as to the selection of stock from
which to breed with profit, and in re-
gard TO the raising and care OF colts,
and fitting for market. An impOr-
tant consideration in the fitting for
market was that the horse shall be in
prime condition as to flesh.
The afternoon Session
commenced with a test of samples of
milk furnished by farmers. Mr.
Goodrich gave a vast amount of in
structive suggestions in his talk upon
the testing Of milk. With the tester
one can determine the amount OF
butter or cream contained in the
milk of cows, stating in illustration of
its utility that he had COW that gave
80 lbs. of milk day and another that
gave but %, but the latter showed by
the test per cent. of butter fat while
the former indicated but percent.
Mr.. Goodrich claims to have i'm
proved the conditions of his dairy by
constant yearly increase in pounds
of butter from his cows, the record
showing that they averaged 327 lbs. in
1898, 355 in '94 and 366 in '95-an aver
age of upwards of pound day.
FRUITS FOR THIS LATITUDE
was discussed by G. j. kellogg of
GAINESVILLE. Mr.. Kellogg gave expert
testimony, that is authoritative in
this line of industry, and those who
are interested in this business were
highly entertained and profited by the
instruction.
Mr.. Briggs gave rapid exposition of
the subject
THE CORN CROP
and brought out many interesting
points, some of which were possibly
new to many farmers of this vicinity.
One valuable hint is worthy of espec-
ial notice: Planting corn in drills,
the machine leaves gutter in which
weeds thrive, to the detriment of the
growing young corn, the drag not act
ing readily upon this depression. To
obviate this, run the cultivator
through close to the rows, throwing
the dirt in ridge over the line of the
row. The drag acts upon this ridge
to the destruction Of weeds, leaving
this line the cleanest part of the field.
Another point of special interest was
the hint with reference to the preser-
walton of the corn fodder in a condi-
tion to do the most good. OF the
feeding qualities of the corn 81 per
cent. is found in the stalks, conse-
quently it is an ineXcusable loss of
more than one-third of the crop to let
the stalks go to waste. Cut the corn
when the grain begins to glaze, tie
the shocks as near the tops of the
stalks as possible.
Adjournment followed this discus
sion, to allow the managers to take
the train for their next appointment.
The following resolution was
adopted before adjournment:
ResOlred, BY the farmers of Pierce
Co., Wis, assem- bled at Farmers In
stitute at River Falls, Jan. 6, 1897,
that we urge the appointment of EX-
Gov. w. ID. Hoard as Secretary of Ag-
riculture.
