After lnduglng In classic lore to some
further extent Mr.. Goodwin went on to
say: but / believe that ] was 20 talk
about the Press today There Is not
much 20 say Of IT, except TO give an idea
OF how things were before It was in
vented In the old days when con-
ventIon was called Il could not be done
through the papers they had to send
out runners, Then II there were any
fancy fat cattle shows, only a county or
two were represented
The speaker then went on 10 set forth
the advantages Of that age when n
delegates failings were not published TO
the world and the populace was Ia lg-

said stock sales were not published I'm
the press and so when the public paid

It," He then went on 10 set forth some
Of the advantages that the press had
brought IN It's train, For example,
when the young women learn that
spavns. curbs, and ringboncs are liable

be more careful about the arrangements
they themselves viii make" After con-

majesty OF Him who set them blazing
on their shining courses" He concluded
with the expression Of the hope that the
visitors might carry back with them
pleasant memories Of their visits to Salt

CIRCUIT BILL MEMORIAL.
The following memorial to the Sem
ate by Hon G. w. Baker OF Illinois
which had been adopted by the execu-
tive committee was then read and
adopted by the convention:
To the Honorable the Senate Of the
United States SID,
Your orator, the National Live Stock
association, respectfully represents unto
your honorable body that it is an asso,
citation composed Of one hundred and
twenty-siX live stock and kindred or.
CARNATIONS, all directly interested in
the production, marketing and DISPOSE
ton Of live stock and whose
holdings thereof represent an invest
ment Of over $500, goo 900.
Your orator. IN annual session Assem-.
bled at salt Lake City. Utah. desires
% enter It's emphatic protest against
known as the Grout bin lH. r. BID.
and in behalf Of its protest desires 20
record a few OF the many reasons in
support Of It's contention.
This measure is q species Of class leg
islaton 4 the most iniquitions and
dangerous kind, calculated 10 build up
B.
equally as important. II seeks 10 i'm
pose an unjust. uncalled for and un-
warranted burden upon one Of the prin-
cipal commercial industries OF the
country for the purpose of prohibiting
It's manufacture, thereby destroying
competition. as lis manufacturers cam
not assume-the additional burdens
sought 10 be imposed by this measure,
and sell their products In competition
with butter
The passage OF this law would des-
troy the demand. except for export,
Of that product OF the beef animal. ole0
oil. Of which $4,000. 900 pounds was used
during the year 1899 In the manufac-
ture Of oleOmargarne, and would also
seriously injure the hog industry by a
similar destruction Of the demand eX-
cept for export. OF neutral lard, 3l000.-
0OO pounds Of which was used In the
year 1899 In the manufacture OF food
products; and boy thus eliminating the
demand for these legitimate articles OF
commerce. force dealers to seek other
channels for the disposition at greatly
reduced prices. thereby entailing q loss
To the producers OF live stock OF the
United States OF millions Of dollars an
nualy.
The measure seeks 10 throttle cOmpe-
tition and IL enacted will render useless
the immense establishments erected
at great expense for the manufacture
Of oleomargarne. deprive thousands OF
employees of the opportunity 20 gain a
livelihood, and deny the people, and es-
pecially the workingmen and their
dependencies. Of a wholesome article Of
diet.
In ole0margarine. a very large proper
ton Of the consumers Of this country,
especially the working classes, have a
wholesome. nutritious and satisfactory
article Of diet, which before Its advent
thev were obliged. owing to the high
price Of butter and their limited means,
TO 90 without.
Your orator represents that the rights
and privileges Of the producers OF cat
tie and hogs should be as well respected
as those OF others. and as they are the
benefcarles In the manufacture Of this
wholesome article OF food. they should
not be burdened with unnecessary and
oppressive special taxes or needless re-
strictions in the manufacture Of this
product. other than Is absolutely neces-
sary for the support Of the government
and the proper governmental regula-
tions surrounding the handling OF same.
Your orator respectfully contends
that these products should receive at
the hands OF Congress no greater ex-
actions than those imposed upon COM
petlng food products and that the man
ufacture and sale OF oleomarRarlne Is
already surrounded by numerous safe
guards. which Congress In It's wisdom
has seen IN tO prOyide stimulating SOW
ere punishment for selling same under
Misrepresentation as 10 its composition
and that this product has by experience
proven to be just what large majority
OF the people OF this country want and
that none but the dairy and allied in
terests are asking FOR or seeking any
further legislation In this mater. and
their endorsement OF the proposed leg
islatlon Is purely and simply selfish.
In conclusion. your orator. In behalf
OF the producers and consumers OF this
