margarine from 2 cents a pound, tho
present rate, to 10 cents u pound. The
intention. he said, was, IL possible, to
tax olc~omargarinc out OF existence.
Strong pressure was brought to bear
upon rural members during the last

the demands thus made will be needed
when Congress- meets As soon as the

According to statistics at the Agrt
cultural department the census Of 1890
gave the production Of butter in the

pounds annually. Tho census of 1880
made the total only sO7, 600. 900 pounds.
II Is pointed out that IL tho increase
during the present decade has been as
great relatively as II was during tho
preceding one. tho next census will
show the production to DO about

The contention OF the dairy butte,
men Is that tho substitute butter
which, they assert, costs less than tho
current market price Of lard, Is In
competition with their product and
brings the price Of genuine butter
down to an unremunerative figure.
They insist that the oleomargarino
trade should DO destroyed, but II this
a not DO accomplished q tax which
will mako the competition more even
should be imposed Another import
ant feature Of the situation from tho
standpoint OF the dairymsn Is the
effect tho oleomargarine Is having on
the foreign trade. 1t Is asserted that
conditions have become such that the
substitute butter threatens to monop-
olize the foreign trade.
Commissioner Wilson Of tho inter.
nal revenue bureau said to-day that
the government revenue from oleo-
margarine during the present fiscal
year would aggregate 81, 900, 900 With
the tax at ten cents q pound and tho
production where it Is now, the rev.
enue from this sourc would foot up
