LIvERPOOL'S TRADE.

Deeline In Commerce for the Fast Tear
Very Observation-Disclosures Meata.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-Consul Boyle.
in y report upon the trade Of Liverpool
with ths United States. says that the
past year has been the best one in his.
tory for the trade in American products
in that district. and that there is every
reason to believe il will continue 10
grow. There has been very material
decline. however. in trade generally at
Liverpool in recent years. The value
Of total importations in 1893 was <'.s2l.-
723 smaller than in 1897 There has
also been a material falling off of ex.
ports to all foreign countries.
Trade IL American Meats.
Commenting ON the trade in Amer
ican meats, Consul Boyle says:
The most noteworthy phase Of the
trade in American beef is the great in
crease in the importation OF chilled
meat. Until quite recently. it has been
considered that the meat of American
cattle slaughtered here was far superior
to chilled meat. but there is undoubt-
edly q great change in this regard and
many buyers and sellers claim that the
American chilled beef is equal II not
superior to the chilled meat OF Amer
ican cattle slaughtered here. The
chilled meat trade is increasing enor'
mously. and there is growing conv'c'
ton that in the course Of . few years 1t
will almost entirely take the place OF
American meat brought on the hoof.
Preferred - lGa.y to British Beef.
American meat II often sold "a Eng
lish: indeed the choice cuts OF Amcr1-
can beef are preferred by many OF the
larxe butchers to the best English cuts.
Experts say that Enslish cattle are de-
preciating in value and quality, one res'
con being that animals are now being
slaughtered st years old, instead Of
yeeTs. q formerly. Not only 10 trade
in chilled bssf increasing to vast dimsn'
sions, but there ID large and increa:pe
trade in fresh chilled pork. It 10 . facs

eide tho trade that most Of the pork paes'
which ase . staple article OF food among
the English working classes, are made

To Restock the County With Par
tridgeS,

Br' Rabbit has been heard from
since the big snow went and he re-
ports all right and will be ready
for the beagles next fall.
By the following meeting of his
friends it would seem that fears are
entertained that "bob white" has
not Jared so well.
A meeting was held in the Clerk IS
office on Monday night of last week
of those interested in restocking the
county with cartridges, the recent
cold weather and snow having
almost exterminated them. Albert
Constable, ST., was elected presi
dent and W. H. Mackall secretary
and treasurer. A committee COM
posed of VIM. J. Smith, John 7.
Wilson and VIM. s.. Evans was ap,
pointed to solicit subscriptions, etc.
The secretary was instructed to
correspond with the Maryland
State Game Association relative to
the purchase of stock cartridges.
1t is purposed to buy several hun
dred birds, and liberal contribu-
tions have been promised.
The above movement is commend.
able, but the county can never be
restocked with game birds nor song
birds till shelter and nesting places
are provided for the birds. Cecil
county, seventyfve and eighty
years ago, was full of cartridges,
pheasants and also in summer song
birds, but all the rough land was in
brush and forest and shelter as well
as food for the birds was abund-
ant. Reforest the waste lands and
the birds will come again if the
pot gunner is suppressed.
There are thousands of acres in
this county that are barren waste
where splendid forests could be
made. Such lands could he leased
by a corporation for 80 years and
reforested and would be a good in
vestment. BY this plan or by the
State is the only practicable way to
restore the forests, and with the
groves and brakes, the birds. Such
renewal of forests would add greatly
to the value of every farm to which
they were in proximity.

A short time ago Boston gentleman
sent package of circulars to me by mail,
The postage was Fl cents. AS everybody
knows, our postal rate on printed matter
is cent for each two ounces, while the
rate for merchandise is cent all ounce;
so if the package had been merchandise,
say, medical or surgical instruments, the
postage would hive been 81 cents. The
the package, and in the letter he said that
if he had been in England he could have
sent the same package by the English
parcels post from any part of England to
Australia or South Africa for ID cents |!
We all like TO think of our nation being
in the front rauk in everything The
thing to do is to make it so.
We are accustomed to think of Russia
as only half civilized-and, perhaps, that
may be true in some respects, according
to our views. But let us take look at
the Land Of the Bear, and see if we can't
learn something. The government is
opening up that vast but little known
region called Siberia. How? Not by
giving vast empire of land to a private
syndicate and then guaranteeing its bonds
for sum nearly or quite sufficient to
build the railroad, a la our Congress
when the first Pacific railroad was built.
No. The Russian government is con-
structing the railroad itself, and to en-
courage the immigration Of peasants into
the new country, the passenger and
freight rates will be exceedingly low. For
example, 1900 miles for $3.50; 1000 miles,
s.. 10; 1000 miles, $3.50; peasants house
hold goods and farming implements,
1900 miles for rs cents per hundred
pounds; 1000 miles 43 cents; 1000 miles,
So cents. AS a consequence the country
will be settled up rapidly and our great
wheat sections in the west and northwest
will have to beware of competition with
Siberia. The arteries of commerce are
the life of country. Siberia, with its
government owned railroads, low fares,
constant rates, and no discrinina-
ton, will have great advantage over
our wheat sections with high freight
rates, subject to change at any moment
without notice, according to the within,
caprice, or private interest of those in
control, and with determinations in favor
of favored shippers. Reflect and see il
you don't conclude that this is worth
thinking about.-Medical World.

The young man of the Wing is
entirely mistaken in his conclu-
sions. The following is the sum
and substance of the story and con-
clusions:-"A clever fellow came
along the other day with wire
device intended as trouser leg
stretchers-to take the 'Ruees' out
and preserve the creases-and in
four hours the profits from his sales,
he claimed, were 500. They were
bought by young and old alike.
The buyers included lawyers, doc
tors, merchants, etc.
The narrator intimates that the
purchasers of the new trouSer leg
stretcher were instigated by a
dudish propensity peculiar to the
true Elkton stock, but this is a
partial mistake. OF course every
one wants his clothing to look its
best. But hard times is the grand
promoter of the stretcher" The
old clothes must be made to do
duty as long as the cloth can be
licked into anything like respec
liability. The real architect of this
wardrobe economy is the gold stan
dard-not dudeism. That Hebrew
standard" has imposed ON self
respecting people such economic
methods that they refrain from
indulging in two pair of trousers
while one pair can be made to do
duty by any ingenious device. This
uncomfortable condition of one pair
of trousers which have to be put on
the wires at night to give them a
shapely appearance the next day,
ought to be remedied, and there is
only one possible remedy in sight.
The time is approaching when the
gold standard and the wired trous
ers can be hung up together, by
voting for Bryan and opening the
minis for silver. This is the only
hope for restocking wardrobes of
the single pantaloons gentlemen,
when the cold clo'" along with
the gold standard can be handed
over to the Jews where both belong.

The Agricultural Fair.

Some of the most active pro-
moters of revival of Elkton agri-
cultural fair who attended the
meeting last week, which was adj
journed to April A, inquired what
was the feeling among the farmers
in the upper part of the county
respecting the future of the fair.
When told the farmers in that Sec
ton cared nothing about it and
would not encourage or support the
fair, they seemed greatly surprised.
We supposed every person knew
that long ago. The wise thing to
do is sell the property and wind
the concern up. All such fairs are
back numbers. They have had
their day.
We are willing to admit that our
farmers are pretty slow but they do
progress some. They have got be-
yond the agricultural circus period
and are taking more or less interest
in the farmers institute, which is
kind of University extension of
the old time agricultural fair. Their
pocket books, too, have shrunken
under the gold standard sweating
process, after the manner of Pha-
roah's lean kline during the seven
years famine.
No, the fair is dead. Its enter
prising Elkton friends no doubt
keenly feel the loss. 1t is human
to mourn the loss of our friends,
but we appoint their funeral never
theless and lay them away in the
tomb. Let the Elkton fair have a
quiet burial and turn our attention
to teaching the farmers the econ
omy and profit, Christianity and
civilization in good roads, for sure
ly all those treasures may be found
in good roads, just so certainly as
there are "sermons in stones, books
in the running brooks and good in
everything" except the old time
Punch and Judy agricultural fair.

What do We Get for it All?

The following from the Philadelphia
Ledger is specimen of what the country
is thinking and beginning to speak out
against McKinleyism
"The serious difficulty our troops are
now encountering at Manila, the deter
mined fighting and sharp resistance of
the insurgents, show what costly piece
of work we undertook when we made our
treaty with Spain. We must not only pay
the sac, 900, 900 with which we bought this
insurrection, but we must deiray the cost
Of transporting the Spanish soldiers home
and Of carrying our own troops TO the
Philippines and back, besides all the other
innumerable OUTLAWS made necessary by a
war-and what do we get for it ALP"
The Ledger all along has been pretty
stiff Administration paper.

The Barometer of Business.

If the oft repeated and never denied
statement can be accepted as reliable
fact, not far short of billion of the gold
money of the world is locked up in the
army chests of the great nations Of
Europe, for use when the anticipated
emergency of great continental war
breaks out. This is one-fourth of the
gold money claimed to be the world S
total sum. This locked up gold, for all
commercial purposes, might as we'll be in
the mines. 1t cuts no figure in influence
ing prices.
The gold trust publishes the annual
output of gold from the mines to be
greatly increasing, but there is no evil
dence of the truth of this statement other
than the assertion of the gold trust which
owns and controls most of the gold mines
of the world The rise and fall of prices
is true barometer to the amount OF
money in circulation, and the steady
drop in the level of prices proves that the
demand is far outrunning the supply
The concentration of wealth in a few
hands is creating luxurious class and TO
supply this class with ornaments more
and more gold is consumed in the arts.
The demand for gold i'll dentistry and
other lines of industry is steadily growing
1t is plain that gold for money purposes
inNraaSi1ar i,,t 1,a q,
demand for money increases. The proof
of this is the steady fall in prices of all
kinds of property.
The great activity in the New York
stock market which the newspapers ring
the changes on and point to as proof OF
booming prosperity is little less than
idiocy. The wealth represented by this
boom of business is all on paper. The
spectators bid up stocks 2, S, 10 points
and this is called business" and an evil
dence of wealth and the advance of pros
perity, when in fact it is only the raging
fever of speculation and gambling. After
this gambling fever has run its course,
like all fevers it will subside leaving the
patient in state of collapse.
The steady drop or stand still in prices
is the barometer which registers the truth
and that barometer does not indicate real
prosperity in the country. The demand
for money is outrunning the supply OF
gold and every indication is that the
demand will steadily widen the distance
between it and the source of supply as
long as that supply is controlled by gold,
and debt, interest, taxes and falling prices
will continue 20 press the people down
further into poverty.

UIchabOd."

Let the people be Of good cheer. Day
is slowly breaking, tho many dark clouds
hang on the horizon. AS Cleveland was
the wrecker of the old and fossilized DEM
ocratic organization which had become
useless and cumberer of the people, SO
Mckinley, unless all signs fail, is destined
to smash the old republican organization
which has become rookery for trusts
and a refuge for millionaire and banker
exploiters of the people. McKinley's
Philippine policy is so at variance with
the expectations and wishes of the mass
of the American people that opposition is
rising up in rebellion against it led by
the best men of his own party. At this
point the heretofore strong republican
lines behind which trusts, shylocks,
money sharks, exploiters of the people
and all manner of organized rascality
found shelter and protection, are given
away. The eyes of the honest masses
and honest strong men of the republican
party are having the scales removed from
them by the course Mckinley has been
driven into by men who surround him
and whose stronger wills buttressed by
greed, he is powerless to resist
Representative johnson, a republican
member from Indiana, in the House last
week ripped Mckinley and his Philippine
policy up the back. In the course of
Mr. Johnson's speech he said IT insist
that the whole policy is not simply an
error, but that it is crime, and that the
Chief Executive of this nation is the one
who has precipitated upon us the embar-
easements and the difficulties by which
we are now confronted "
This is what the MIDLAND JOURNAL
has been saying for weeks, and is en-
couraged to find SO high a source in the
republican party agreeing with it.
The trusts and other steal-everythings
are making hay %hile clear weather lasts
under the benign influence of their sun
god, Mckinley and the bank confidence
party are hustling to get what little yet
remains in the hands of the people before
the storm is upon them. The latter want
an extra session in which to wipe out all
money but gold and their own notes, but
the ::exploiters Of Porto Rico, Cuba and
the Philippines don't want an extra
session called.
In the meantime public debt is piling
up mountain high and the people are
feeling the pinch of taxes and low prices
more acutely each succeeding year.

speeches, all at the expense of the people

to pay all these private bills. These

ready to write "Ichabod" over the gilded
portal of that party.
