A WORLDWIDE DEMAND.
Sparks Bros. q MCGEE Supplying
Thousands of Mules to Foreign
Goyeruntents

The American mule Is In demand every
where, for both nations and individuals
are clamoring for him. He Is so valuable
as war material that lots of foreign gold
has recently been dumped into the south
and regiments of mules have been ex-
ported.
There is one firm In the south handling
mules and horses that has an interna-
tional reputation. Wherever the Ameri-
can mule Is known this firm has Gus
toners, and they exports of horses are
also very large The firm of Sparks Bros
& McGee has large feed and sale stables
In New Orleans while Sparks Bros. have
still more extensive quarters in Kansas
City. More than POO mules were sold
in January by Sparks Bros. at their Kan
sas City stables alone and shipped 10
cotton and sugar plantations, mines, lum-
Der camps, etc.
The New Orleans branch Of this widely
known firm is in charge of Mr.. Homer
Mctiee. the resident partner, and a great
business in mules and horses is done here.
Everyone knows OF the large contracts
filed for the British government by
Sparks Bros d MCGEE, and of the thou
sands Of head of mules and horses they
shipped TO South Africa from New Or
leans. But this firm made shipments OF
mules TO Cape Town long prior to the
Boer war, to stock dealers. They have
also built up large trade in Central and
South America, doing a whole lot OF
pioneer work at great expense, in Great
ing demand for American horses and
mules
In 1873. Sparks Bros began operations
at Marshall. Mo. three brothers com
prising the firm. To-day three brothers
J. T.. W. c. and Charles Sparks-and
Homer MCGEE are in the partnership
They are all comparatively young men
but their wide reputation and very ex
tensive operations at home and abroat
prove that they are equal to any demand
and that their guarantee back Of an ami

Prospects of cotton mill building brought
demand for lumber. brick. nails, iron,
labor. transportation. and sifensd the
southern people to attach an extra value

The enthusiasm spread into the South
Atlantic states. and more money was
placed in cotton mills In the two Caro-
linas, Georgia and Alabama in one year
than had been the case In any i've years
before.
The southern Industrial convention was

TINwARE.


There is great deal Of tinware manu-

Ia the Porto Rican matter.
To realize the full stature and
strength Of this manIiness the facts
set forth in Henry Loomis Nelson's
able letter in the New York W0yld
last Wednesday must be borne in
mind. For the Porto Rican tariff
have rallied all the great protected
interests Of the country. They do
not argue, they do not persuade;
they demand.
The Porto Rican tariff would be
an act OF lawlessness and tyranny
unconstitutional, unjust, unre-
publican, undemocratic, inhuman.
But to act in accordance with law,
justice and humanity toward the
Porto Ricans would be to establish
a dangerous precedent against
lawlessness, injustice and inhuman-
ity. Therefore, away with the
Constitution and the principles of
the Republic.
1t takes courage to stand firm
where Mr.. Mckinley and the other
Republican leaders have surren-
dered and cringed. But that is the
sort Of courage needed if parties
are to be saved from ruin, nations
from decay. And it is good to see
that this nation and the Republican
party have such courage at their
service in the House of Represen-
tatives.
