AMERICAN MEAT EXPORTS.
Germany Taking Great Quantities,
Despite Opposition.


Despite Opposition.
Despite the official opposition in some
quarters of Germany to the importation Of
American meats, the importations have in
creased three and half fold since 1894.
Vice Consul General Hanauer, of Frank
fort, says on the subject: Germany inn
ported during 1897, 1886 tons of meat
valued at $4,000, 900 marks go, 1876, 2OO), and
in 1898, 1857 tons costing 72,500,000 marks
(s17, 255, o00).
"Of this amount the United States fur
nished 47,243 tons, valued at 39,700,0 600
marks (S9, 44S, 600); Denmark sent 11,243
tons, and Holland 1859 tons.
1.-The meat imported from the United
States consisted mainly of fresh pork. Our
manufacturers should give more attention
to the export of smoked sausages. / see
no reason why our country should not
take the lead as sausage exporter.
There is no doubt that large contracts
could be obtained from foreign govern
ments for army uses if a low price for
sausages could be quoted"

This morning the argument in the

court was begun by respective conn
sci and will probably consume two
days.
While considerable time has been
consumed in the trial 81 the case and

main as to which one oi the two can.

number OF legal votes for the office OF

Counsel for Mcmillan began their
argument with the introduction OF Il
classified brief Of all the objections
interpOsed by both sides. 1t was
done for the purpose OF clarifying the
attitude, at least assumed by McMil-
lan's attorneys aud fully setting out
their claims. The court was present.
ed with three copies OF the brief and
followed il during the course OF the
argument. In brief. McMillan's at
torncy claimed in open court this
morning that laying aside the objcc-
tiOns by both parties to the individu-
nj bnllots. the result Of the case shows
this significant condition.
Certain votes must be declared il.
legal where the proof has been cstab.
lishcd that voters cast their ballots
away from their home precincts. 1t
has been asccrtaincd that declaring
such votes illegal and disrcgGrdng
them in the recount, Mcmillan woull
have majority ui two votes. This
result suggests the thought that il
tho popular will Is still Ia he adhered
to and no ballots thrown ont for bad
marking. Mcmillan hRs still shown
that he has Il majority Of the votes
cast for tue Governor at the last olec.
tion.
McMillan's attorneys submitted TO
the court That they had prepared their
tabulatcd statement upon the basis OF
the decisions OF tho court regarding
tho ballots already passed upon. BY

CLOSED DOWN.

In the town OF Fairmount, near
Cincinnati, the citizens are now ex-
periencing a taste OF the good things
which the great system OF trusts has
ID store for people everywhere. At
Paramount there has been in steady
operation for twenty years barbed
wire fence factory employing some
800 men. This factory having now
fallen under the control OF tho steel
trust now closes down. The trust ac-
quired it for that purpose. The shut
down was not occasioned by mn over
supply OF barbed wire fencing; it was
ordered with tile intention OF creating
IN under supply. OF course the 500
employees have been thrown ont OF
work, and some OF them who voted,
ei:her willingly or under coercion, for
the -advaDce agent Of prosperity"two
years and half ago, are doubtless
wondering whether closing the
mints really has any virtues in the
direction Of opening the mills. The
Unemployment OF these 800 men at
Paramount is chiefly notable because
1t happens to DO concentrated in its
effects. There is nothing else peculi.
ar abont it. In more scattered way
the same thing is going on all over
the country. Under the trust regime
not only mechanics, but clerks, book.
keepers, salesman and small busi-
ness men are being crowded into the
lists OF the unemployed. Yet we are
told that times are prosperous. For
