An Object Lesson.

For the week ended with June z
there were 1883 cattle exported and
4.713 Mexican cattle imported; in 9TH
er words, we sent abroad over two and
a half times as many cattle as we re-
ceived, to say nothing of the larger
amount of money the British people
will pay for our well-fRtted beasts than
we have paid for the lank Mexicans
which are brought across the border
TO be fattened on American corn. hay
and grass.
The duty paid on the 4,713 Mexican
cattle, at 20 per cent. ad valorem,
probably amounted to about $4,000, or
from S1.6O TO 5000 per head. With
an increased duty, such as is proposed
by the Republicans, the Importations
will cease, as it is practically prohib-
itory, while the 20 per cent ad va
loren is tariff for revenue, and as
such contributes to defraying the ex-
penses of the government.
This is another fact in connection
with those shipments of cattle abroad,
and which is that they all went to
Great Britain, the protective tariff
countries of Europe having discrimi-
mated to such an extent against the
United States that they no longer i'm
port our cattle and take but small
proportion of the export of hog pro-
ducts. For the week ended June 5, of
the 25, 613 boxes of meats exported,
22,4I2 boxes were sent to English
ports, while but 2SS went to Germany,
$50 to Holland and none to France.
The exports OF corn continue large,
those for last week having been p
1913, 294 bushels, or more than 100000
bushels larger than the corresponding
week last year, and 100, 900 larger
than the same week in 1895. The
wheat exports showed Slight falling
of from last year, no doubt caused by
the increased demand for our corn.
1t is the export demand for cattle,
beef and hog products. together with
wheat and corn, which has prevented
prices from falling even lower than
those which have ruled. But the OBJ
iect lesson presented here Is that in
ceiling our fatted cattle to the British
we are bringing money into the coun-
try and in importing the Mexican cat

Rev. Dixon on the Farmer.


Rev. Thomas Dixon. Jr., of New
York city. speaks rather glibly and
contemptuously of The farmer who
quits work for six months to talk pol
itics. and who ''does his blowing with
the jaw-bone. Considering Mr. Dix
on's own performances with this his
toric instrument. it might be supposed
his latest fling was in the nature of
protest against an imagined invasion
of his field.
Whatever Mr.. Dixon's motives, he is
clearly far from the truth. If he
mingled actually with the farmers and
searched industriously to find the
political loafer he pictures as the typi-
cal farmer, Mr.. Dixon would discover
that he was wrong, as usual. The
farmer does not ''quit work six months
to talk politics." He does his work
in campaign years quite as faithfully
as in other years. The same can not
be said of all business men. Nor can
it truthfully be said of the Rev. Mr..
Dixon, who spent his autumn last year,
not in preaching the gospel, but in
making bigoted political speeches from
the pulpit.
Mr. Dixon's view, that the farmer
takes too much interest in politics, is
generally Endorsed by corrupt polite
ians, who flourish in New York and
other great cities. They agree that
the farmer, with his sturdy morality
and scorn of political knavery, is a
dangerous man. We have a different
opinion OF his political Importance.
We know the farmer does his work
better than MIR. Dixon. We believe
he serves his Master better. For
though it is allowed to serve faithfully
with the arms and head, as well as the
heart, there is nothing to show that
retailing sensations from the pulpit
and driving Christians from the
church because of their economic be-
liefs, as Mr.. Dixon habitually did last
summer, is an acceptable service.
There Is gospel of work, but there
can be no true gospel Of hate.
Young Mr.. Dixon is presumptuous
in featuring the farmers. They may
be trusted to know their business.
Mr.. Dixon is required by his sacred
Office to fight sin and alleviate misery.
Instead of doing so, he, by his own
confession, mixes in politics, local and
national. The farmer, on the other
hand, does his individual duty as well
as his sacred dnty as a citizen.
The farmer is not professional pol
itician. He is citizen who votes ac-
cording TO the principles as he under
stands them. He is not always right,
any more than other men are always
right, but his mistakes are due rather
to too little political knowledge and
too much credulity. In the early days
of the Republic it was not so. The
recent evidences that the farmers are
again taking a large personal interest
in political affairs gives rise to hopes
that the farmers, while continuing to
be the bulwark of the nation. will
overthrow the inequitable policies that
Cypress them, even more than the
rest OF the people. Instead OF crafty
ing Mr.. Dixon, Tom Platt and others
by abstaining from politics, the farm
er, it is to be hoped, will take great
err share in the affairs of his govern
ment.-K G. Times.

Stopping before tho shop window, the dog
reared up on his hind legs and tapped
with his fore paws upon the closed pane,
whercuEon the baker came and raised the
window.
"Bon jour, monsieur" said tho man
quite checrily, as If he were speaking to
All old acquaintance. At the same time he
took u small round loaf Of bread from the
shelf and put it down on the sill.
The dog, wagging his tail tic while, do.
posted his bird on tho window ledge,
picked up the loaf and trottcd buck the
way he came.
"You arc wondering at my queer GUS

can tell you," he went on, "is that tho dog

TREES FOR SCHOOLS.
J. O. Barrett Makes an Offer

Apropos of Arbor Day, the State
Forestry association makes the fol-
lowing offer to the schools of the
state:
Our governor has appointed Fri
day, April 30, for Arbor Day. Since
the establishing OF this anniversary
there has never been so promising an
interest in it's observance as this
year. The schools are especially en-
thusiastic. Mere sentimeDtality is
changing to practical utility. with n
view to permanent tree-grOwing.
not only for street and lawn Orna-
mentation, but in groves ard wind
breaks. for the prevention of floods
and drOuths, the economy OF water
for use when needed, the immeasur-
able benefits that will TINS accrue to
agriculture, and for the general
beauty of the state.
Az an aid to these all-important
results, I offer for the forestry 1850
citation to give 100 green ash seed
lings, one year grown. to any teacher
or student in the state who will
simply pay the postage OF 10 cents
in stamps for mailing the trees and
the Tree Planter" with the under
standing that these little trees shall
be planted and cared for as instructed
in the book, preparatory to replant-
ing where wanted to stay ON the
school lawn. We offer this tree be-
cause it is the hardest Of all our in
digenous species. 1t Is abOnt as fast
Il grower az the box elder, and is
beautiful, indeed. We believe that
the habit of such culture will evolve
a worshipful love and defense OF trees
and a more scholarly character Of

the recipients report success to me,
giving all the necessary particulars
to be kept on record and published
in my reports to the state.
Other papers are respectfully asked
to copy this 80 al to reach our

proper season.
