Dodging the New Duty on Farm
Products.

The chief ambition of the importers in
the closing months of the Vision tariff
seems to have been to "gouge" the far
mer out of the last penny possible by
rushing in all the farm products they
could rake and scrape the world over.
Take the matter of live animals for in
stance. The value of the live animals
imported in the month OF July, 1897,
amounted to $354000,000, while in July,
1896, they amounted to only $73,0O0,000
The cattle imported in July, 1897,
numbered 27,740, while in July, 1896,
they numbered only 3,071. This was the
last chance of the importers togouge the
farmers by rushing in Mexican cattle at
the low rates Of the Wilson law, and by
undertaking them, bringing them in al
most free of duty.
The number OF sheep imported in July
1857, was 39,9S4 against 4,076 in July of
the preceding year.
The importations of raw cotton during
July, 1897, amounted to 6,595 ,90S pounds
against l,704, 100 in July of the proceed
ing year, this being due doubtless to the
expectation that the duty on cotton
which was placed in the bill by the SEN
ate would be retained by the conference
committee.
The duty placed upon hides OF course
stimulated the importation of this ar
ticle during the closing days OF July, be-
fore the new law went into effect. The
total imports of hides, other than fur
skins, during the month of July am
ounted to PLAZA, 1862 pounds against
9,209,96l in the corresponding month OF
1896. The imports OF hides during the
entire seven months of the calendar year
amounted to 100, 55S, $50 pounds, against
rs, 1892, Al pounds in the corresponding
months of the preceding year.
The last shot that the wool importers
and wool producers of foreign countries
could get at the American farmer under
/ the free wool clause OF the Wilson law
was shown in the imports OF wool during
July, 1897, being over % 900 900 pounds
as against 5,45S, 900 pounds in the cor
responding period of last year. For the
seven months OF 1897 ending with JULY
/ the imports OF wool amounted to 3l6 900
/ 600 pounds, as against l07 600, 900 pounds
in the corresponding months of tne pre-
ceding year.

The weather is now good for harvest
ing operations: and the grain is fast be-
ing taken care of. The rains damaged
some OF the crop, bundles that lay on the
ground commencing to sprout, and some
stacks of headed grain wetting in badly.
However, the damage was not nearly so
bad as was feared. The price OF grain
has weakened somewhat, the quotation
today being 81 cents, but the prospect is
that 1t will come up again. The ware
houses are fast filling up, thousands OF
bushels being hauled in every day, but
only small percentage of it being sold
the balance being stored to await an up,
ward market The sales being made are
IN most cases only sufficient to cover ex.
penses OF harvest. The yield, while
good, is not quite up to expectations.

Even two or three yards wide OF such

ST.. LOUIS, April 27.-The Post Dis

column, says the end of the baseball
season just commenced will witness
one of the strongest coalitions of play
ers that has ever existed, not excepting
the Brotherhood which seeded from
the magnates and organized league
of its own. The peculiar conditions
existing between players and magnates
is responsible for the revolt.
Primarily the reserve rule which con-,
verts skillful player into chattel, who
can be sold and forced to play with
team obnoxious to him and with no
voice in the matter; the agreement
between the club owners regulating
salaries the power to fine, suspend
and discipline player with no redress
to the performer from consequent loss
of salary and several other grievances,
among which are the docking of men
when unable to play from injuries re-
ceived in the game, are the causes
which are compelling the active agents
of the pastime to band together for self
preservation.
The players believe and with the
best Of reason, too, that with the sup
port of the men who constitute the
strength Of the various teams, as or.
ganized body behind them, that the
rights of individuals would command
consideration that does not now exist.
This sentiment is growing fast and the
trail Of the Chicagos lies over it all.
Just why this team should be the cru

say.

across the business portion of South
Ottumwa. The population is in a
panic. Hundreds of men are working
on the levee at the west end Of the city.
If the levee breaks the water will come
down some main business and residence

precarious.
OTTUMwA, Ia, April 27.-At 2 p. m.
the river was at a standstill here. The
