Secretary Cages insstenoe as to q single

IF the amendment of Senator Nelson to
the Teller resolution had not been voted
down. the effect of the adoption OF the res

for their fight in 1900. That is what 1t is
for. They We're spurred on to their pres At

Mckinley, in his New York speech,

The dairy products of the United
States for one year amounted to $254,
O0l, 1000. We are in the habit of look
ing at this branch of farming as one
of large extent, writes Rhode Island
expertto to the New England Homestead,
but we find the poultry products for the
same year to be $3.50, 900, 900 or more
than twice as much and still not
enough, for during the same year 49,.
00o, 900 dozens of eggs were imported
and the total value of poultry and eggs
imported was probably $40, 900, 900.
This $40, 100000 ought to have been
jingling in the pockets of American
farmers and poultrymen rather than
to have been sent to foreign countries.
Even the little state of Rhode Island
used from outside of the state about
5000, 900 worth of eggs. Britain i'm
ported eggs and poultry to the value
of e5, ,657, 900 sterling or $27, 637 $50.
London alone used other than English
eggs to the value of $6,915, 400
France reckoned the value of hel
poultry products at $77, 800, 600, from
which she furnished her own pc ople
and exported largely. This large
value we find derived mainly from the
farms. With such figures before us,
growing population, and surety
that as cost of production is decreased
by skillful management that consump.
tion of poultry products will be
largely increased, we may rest assured
of market for some time to come.
