cHEAPENINo OF
CATTLE" LOANS.

The feeding of hogs and cattle with
corn. or the conversion of corn into
hog and cattle flesh, has developed re-
markably the last three years as a fea-
ture Of farming, and it is responsible
for a large share of the increased on
sumption OF corn. The individual
stimulating has been the cheap
ening Of money due to the sound
money victory of 1896.
This has enabled farmers to make
loans secured by their cattle or hogs,
and by use of such funds to keep their
corn for feed and for raising hogs, in
stead of selling 1t. Four years e
this cattle paper was not looked on
with any favor in the east. Now from
forty to fifty million dollars annually
are loaned on 1t by eastern brokers.
The abundance of money in the west
ern banks seeking investment has
forced competition in the placing of
these cattle paper loans until now they
are taken at three to four per cent
less than formerly. OF course this both
tends to increase the demand for corn
and to render its price more stable;
Tor instead of throwing corn on the
market at the harvest season, the
Farmer can now keep 1t on the farm to
reed to cattle and hogs all the year
around. Cattle loans were difficult, If
not impossible to negotiate in the
democratic days OF 1S93-1S96.

ALroELD.s GREAT DISCOVERY.

John P. Altgeld has made a great
discovery. II is that IL you sell more
than you buy you are growing poorer.
last Thursday at New Haven, Conn. In
a speech there he said:
This country is being drained to
pay tribute to foreigners. By estab-
fishing the gold standard 1t takes
twice as much of our products to a
that tribute. During this administra-
ton we have parted with over 81 ,5OO,-
000. 900 worth of goods more than we
received in return, and We have only
$137. 900 900 to show for 1t. o long
can we stand an annual loss of nearly
$500, 900 900? This amount of goods
goes abroad every year and disappears,
Mr.. Altgeld's figures are apparently
derived from the statistics Of Il for
eign commerce. In the fiscal years
1897. 1898, 1899. and 1900. we sold to
other countries goods valued at "a
903, $50, 559, and bought from other
countries goods valued at s2.s27.64

favor of 81, 1916, 042. 1884. During the
same period we exported 1871, 63s. 493
and imported 464.563. PTS in gold and
silver, an excess of precious metal i'm

The AItgeld theory is plain. For

disc exports we a nothing to snow

Mr.. AItgeld's neighbors in Chicago,
however much as they have differed
from his (Altgeld's) opinions hitherto.
have considered him a man OF intelli-
gence. But his New Haven speech
must force a reversal of that judg-
ment. To show the ineffable Stiffness

convert that $1,000 into gold coin and
bury it in his COW stable. Being a
sensible man, he looks about for an
investment. He may lend his $1,000

may buy a railroad, a United States.

trade balance of 81, 1888, lis. $50 is not

THAT TAMMANY ICE TRUST.

To questions from his audiences
about the Tammany ice trust, Mr..
Bryan has repeatedly made this an
'swer In the last ten days: There are
a Republican governor and legislature
in New York. and what have they done
to throttle the ice trust? The Repub-
lican governor of New York has not
time to bother with the Ice trust, for
The Is too busy out here telling you
about it."
Governor Theodore Roosevelt Of New
York. months before the Tammany ice
TRUST became notorious. sent a mes
sage to the New York legislature ad-
vising action against trusts. The leg
lislature passed and Governor Roose-
welt signed an antitrust act. Under
this law the Republican attorney gen.
leral of New York is now proceeding
against the Ice trust. This action the
iTammany stockholders are fighting at
every point.
The principal stockholders of the Ice
trust are Richard Croker, Mr.. Bryan's
eastern manager; John F. Carroll, Mr..
brokers chief lieutenant; Hugh j.
Grant and Thomas F. Gilroy, Tammany
ex-mayors; Augustus Far Wyck, Tam
many candidate for governor in 1898;
Robert Van Wyck, Tammany a of
New York; Randolph Guggenheimer,
'Tammany's president OF the council;
j. Sergeant Cram and Charles f. Muir
ply, Tammany dock commissioners.
etc, etc. etc.
1t is these trust benehciarles and
supporters of Mr.. Bryan who are rend-
Ing the heavens with their denuncia-
Itions of trusts. AS Governor Roose-
lselt well says; Hypocrisy could be
lcarried no further than it is by these
men and their defenders" They
charged the poor OF New York 60 cents
per 100 pounds for ice which cost them
bot over 10 cents per 100 pounds deliv-
bred, and with their 400 per cent trust
profits are supporting Bryan's anti
trust campaign.
Mr.. Bryan's zeal in defense OF the ice
trust may be due merely to a sense of

NEW OFFICIAL OF THE ST. PAUL.
n. A. Miller Appointed Genera Passen-
ger Agent of the Big system.


ger Agent of the Big system.
F. A. Miller, a brother of Roswell
p. Miller, chairman of the board of di-
rectors of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul Railroad company. has been
appointed general passenger agent of
that system defective Oct. Is, 1900 to
succeed George H. Heafford, recently
resigned. The appointment 1T Mr..
Miller to the head of the st. Paul pas
senger department was not unexpected,
as he has been for several years the
principal assistant general passenger
agent of the company. making his
headquarters in the Marquette build
ing. There will be no assistant ap-
pointed to succeed Mr.. Miller. The
two other assistants, Messrs. Marsh
and Merrill, will continue in their old
positions.
General Passenger Agent Miller is
widely known in the railway world,
and is one of the most popular Of pas
senger officials. He began his railroad
career in 1874. and his good nature,
character ana ability have steadily ad-
vanced him in the service of the st.
Paul system since 1888, when he en-
tered the company's employ as a clerk
in the passenger department. of which
he now becomes the head. Mr.. Miller
was born at Hartford. Pa.

HOME FOR T~RAINMEN.
Movement On Foot to Take Care of All
Aged, Invalid and Crippled Train
Operators,

opcratOrs.
There are strong probabilities that
within the next two or three years a
home for aged, invalid and crippled
railway trainmen of all classes will be
established at some point in the cen
trail west. At the recent convention of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men at Des Moines, Iowa, a PROPOSE
ton to build such n home was submit
ted, and the members of the convention
showed their favor to it by appropri-
atlng $1,000 as a starter toward car
rying 1t out. All other railroad organ
iaations in the land, 1t is said, will be
asked to lend their support and assist
n c in realizing the scheme.
Although the plans thus ar settled
upon are solely preliminary in their
character, the general idea for the es-
tablishment of the home is quite clear
ly defined. 1t is said to be the purpose
of those who are the prime spirits in
the movement to advocate the selection
Of Columbus, Ohio, or Chicago as a
place wherein to locate the home. 1t
is likely hat the home will be mod
eled in a degree after such an institu-
ton as that maintained by the Masons
at Springfield, Ohio, or as that kept up
for old and infirm soldiers ut Lafay-
cite, Indiana. The. Soldiers Home at
Lafayette is practically n little town in
itself, there being streets lined with
cottages, an amusement hall, a water
works inc an electric light plant, be-
sides general barracks and officers
quarters.
1t is probable hat the various organ
izations of railway trainmen will he
asked to make contributions to the
general building fund as quickly as
DOSSiblp. There have hppn ~snyarn1 sup-
gestions ps to how the fund should be
raised, but 1t is likely hat %organiza-
tons will LEND their financial assist
ance in any manner that they individ-
ually may see fit. About $4,000 will
be needed before the work of carrying
out the scheme n be begun in earn

PROTECTION IN A N

The industrial development of
France from the close of the Napo-
leonic wars to 1860. says Mr.. Curtiss, is
without parallel in any continental
country. Under the protection which
then existed the growth of manufac-
lures was rapid and successful in every
particular. In 1860. however, a COM
mercial treaty was entered into be-
Tween England and France, by which
France removed all prohibitions from
imports and substituted duties ranging
from 20 to 80 per cent on competing
manufactures. The experiment of this
duty. which continued until 1882, was
unsatisfactory, and the French gov
eminent refused to renew 1t in that
year, and a more vigorous protective
policy was restored. In 1885 the du-
ties on foreign products were raised,
and in 1891 a thoroughly protective
tariff was enacted. under which the
great prosperity and Industrial activ-
lily which now exist have come to that
country.
