Secretary Wilson Looking Ont for
Various Farm Industries.
Secretary Wilson of the Department Of
Agriculture, learning incidentally that
corn was being shipped from the United
States to Denmark to be fed to cows,
whose butter Is marketed in London, Mt
once conceived the idea that American
corn should be turned into butter by
American cows and marketed in London
by American farmers.
Upon inquiry at the Treasury Depart
ment, Mr.. Wilson learned that he hnd
power and authority to spend the Gov
ernment's money about as he saw fit. He
had purpose in view in making the in
quiry. and at once issued orders to his as
sistants to buy several hundred pounds
of the best creamery butter made in Hi
nois, Iowa and one or two other States
This will be shipped to the Governments
animal industry agent in London, and
placed upon the market. The butter will
be sent in various packages, and the agent
will be instructed to report what the mar
ket wants in the way Of package, color of
butter, salt, flavor, etc. 1t is expected
that in this way knowledge of the wants
of the English markets will be obtained.
to the end that the farmers of the United
States will soon be getting fair share
of the English butter trade
Secretary Wilson says scientific work 10
all right, but he wants scientific work
that has a practical value. ''The trouble

Currency Reform Not "shelved."


The assertion which is made by some Of
the sound money Democratic papers that
the Republicans have "shelved" monetary
reform is little too precipitate. Presi-
dent Mckinley gave prominent place to
this subject in his inaugural address, and
suggested the appointment Of a commits
sion to 60 over the whole question and re-
port plan which would bring our diverse
and illogical financial system into approx
innate harmony with the requirements Of
the time. A bill to carry out the Presi-
dents suggestion has been introduced in
the House.
1t would be unreasonable to blame the
Republicans for giving precedence to the
tariff question. A deficit Of something
like $70,0OO,OOO year in the revenues Is
to be provided for, and this necessity is
far greater than that Of reforming the
financial system, urgent as the latter re-
quirement is. The condition of the cur
rency will not get worse, for the assault
on the nations monetary stability and SOL
vency made last year has been repealed,
and It cannot be repeated until three years
hence at the earliest. On the other hand,
the necessity for immediate action on the
question of the revenues is imperative

Hon. George w. Steele.

Major Steele, Congressman from In
diana and member of the WAYS and
Means Committee, discussed various TON.
les OF the pending bill, having looked care.
fully. into the features of the Wilson Law
as compared with the Mckinley law. nm
on which the Dingley bill is very peneraliv
based. Especially with reference TO live
stock he shows by his remarks In the Com
gressional Record that the decrease In
the values of horses, cattle and sheen In
Indiana alone have been enormous IN
some cases over 60 per cent. In tbe on 40
of cattle and sheep this decrease in vaIue
is directly attributable to the opera t;on
of the Wilson law. Cattle were brouobt
into this country in great numbers from
Canada and Mexico. Mexican cattle were
brought In across the border at n total
cost, including duty, slightly in excess ~
W per head, and were driven in preat
droves eastward, to be finally fatfened
In the great corn areas of the west ard
then placed upon the Chicago and other
Western markets. BY this method ~
driving. the buyers of herds escaped The
necessity of winter feeding. and thew were
thus brought into competition with the
cattle raised by our own farmers NJ =
cost of about $50 per head. Vast areas Of
the grazing lands Of the West are now
idle by reason Of this competition. In
addition to this, infectious diseases NJ
fecting cattle have been largely spread
among our own herds by these passing
droves, the Western cattle raiser never
knowing when his herd would become ~.
fected and depleted. CONTINUING M
Steele said that there has been an nm.
doubted evasion of the law In the payment
Of duty and that great numbers of cattls
have been brought in without the payment
of any tariff whatever.
The farmers of the middle West. Mr..
Steele says, are well satisfied with the re-
turn to "a per ton duty on hay. This will
shut out the great quantity of Canada
hay which has been brought into the

reason of the short haul, selling In our

our agricultural products in Europe and

very well In our exports of manufactures
during the last few years, but the gain In
that direction has not made up for the
loss in agricultural products. We have
