It is generally conceded that If the

ary IS the hemp cannot reach America
and be manufactured in time for next
years ha vest and tha:e would be no
way of lowering the present exorbitant
price. Congress is to be covered with let

Following is the letter to the secretary
of agriculture mentioned:
Pratt, Kan, Dec. -, 1899.
Hon. James Wilson, Secretary Of Agr1-
culture, Washington, D. c.:
Dear Sir-It is currently reported that
some Of the holders of Manila and Sisal
fiber and a few of the leading manufac-
turers Of rope, cor cage and binding tw:ne
are quietly urging the Uni'Hd States gov
eminent to keep the Philippine ports
closed, and thus prevent the shipment CT
Manila hemp from the Philippine group
into this country in time to make binding
Irvine for the coming harvest.
If they are able to carry out their
plans the farmers will be compelled TO
pay exorbitant prices for their binding
material.
During the past eighteen months bind
ing Irvine has advanced fully 100 per cent
1t is generally understood that if Philip
pine ports are opened on or before jan
nary 10 a sufficient amount of fiber will
reach the market and the factories from
these islands in time to meet all require
ments and thus permit the markets to
drop back to their normal conditions,
while if :be ports remain closed there will
be a great shortage in binding Irvine,
which Will enable the holders &c it to
name their own price.
Farmers can not successfully harvest
grain without Irvine. Several Of the
states have already used convict labor
in manufacturing it in order to bring the
cost to the lowest possible figure in the
farmers behalf.
Eve since binding Irvine became fac
tor in harvesting grain there has reen
associated with its manufacture and sale
the name of trusts and combines, :ut
this is the first time in it's history that
the Tinted States government is charged
directly with aiding and atetting the IN
porter and Specializing manufacturer.
Therefore in behalf of the grain grow
ers. this appeal is made to you, as the
head Of the agricultural department, to
take up the matter with the administra-
ton, and if the Philippine Islands are
now sufficiently under our control, that
the opening Of their shipping ports will
not seriously jeopardize our interests
there, that you use all the means in
your power to have the said ports opened
at the earliest possible date. Yours re-
spectfully.

command wide attention, and that is
Miss Belle Archer's farewell presenta-
ton of Hoyt's "a Contented Woman"
one of the brightest and cleverest COM
edies from the pen Of that popular play
wright, Charles Hoyt. The piece and
star made a pronounced impression with
the theater goers at its last visit, and
its return will be heartily welcomed. Mr.
Forbes Heormans, the eminent dramatist
and novelist who wrote the Introduction
and edited the celebrated novel, David
Harum," is writing a new play for Miss
Archer, which she will produce next sea-
son. The play will be in four acts and will
require two carloads Of scenery and three
horses for its proper presentation.
