NO MORE CHEAP BEEF.

There are reasons for the high price
of beef good and sufficient in them
selves beyond any effort of the packing
house combine to increase its cost. The
artificial forcing of prices by the pro-
cess Of "cornering" a product has been
SO common in this country that 1t is
entirely natural for the people at large
to connect the rise in beef prices with
the speculative process. There is much
more behind this upward tendency,
however, than mere speculation. The
real cause lies in the great change the
past ten years has effected in the mat
ter and methods Of beef production.
There has been return from the
cheap and careless methods in vogue on
great cattle ranches, with their illimit-
able ranges. that stretched from Mon
tana to the Staked Plains, to the older
and more expensive methods that pro-
duce better beef at higher cost. These
vast ranges have been broken up by
settlers and the cattle raiser forced to
i lig
change from vaquero to a rancher.
His branding iron has changed to en-
closures of barbed wire fences and his
herds from the wild longhorns that
whooping cowboys drove across the
territory to market at Ft. Worth or
Kansas City to cattle bred on beef pro-
ducing lines and properly fattened and
fitted for consumption. The west has
been converted from boundless pastures
into farms, and the cheap cattle have
followed the buffalo. The day of the
half wild savage steer has gone and the
stalled OK has come to take It's place.
Under the changed conditions 1t is
not unreasonable to believe that there
will be no more cheap beef The cost
of production has grown too great to
permit it. While the present price is
higher thru the panicky effect of last
years partial corn failure and the fact
that few farmers put their cattle on
feed, there Is no hope that the supply
of beef cattle will exceed the demand
sufficiently to cause return to the old
days of cheap beef. The range steer
has ceased to be the controlling factor
OF the cattle market, and a rise in the
average of prices is more to be expect
ed than is the reverse.

the CHINESE EXCLUSION BILL.

There is a strong possibility that
the Chinese exclusion bill. If 1t be-
comes law, may cut both ways and
retaliatory measures by China destroy
the prospects at the present time ex-
tremely bright for extension of Amer1-
can trade in China. The Southern cot
ton manufacturers, speaking thru Sen
ator Simmons, of North Carolina,
state plainly their fear that their orr
entail market will be greatly injured,
if not totally destroyed. 1t is urged by
the manufacturers and others who fea1
retaliatory measures on the part Oh
China, that the existing law should
be contineud until the expiration OF our
Chinese treaty in 1904. The pro-
vision Of the house bill forbidding
the employment of Chinese sailors on
American ships is certain to work
hardship on ship owners engaged in
the Pacific carrying trade where
Lascar, Malay and Chinese sailors are
largely in majority. The passage ana
strict enforcement Of this provision
will undoubtedly injure the American
merchant marine in the Orient to the
benefit of it's competitors.
There is magnificent opening IN
the east for American trade. China
is practically undeveloped. There are
railways to build, factories to erect,
clothing and the trade in an infinite
variety of the manufactured products
needed by nation of 4oO,00o.0Oo people
to be secured. China's Industrial
growth and future is all before her
The possibility of a Chinese trade are
such as to make adverse legislation
undesirable, however necessary such

should be framed with the greatest
care and forethought. While Mon
golian invasion Of the United States is
not to be considered or permitted.
every precaution possible should be
taken to prevent rupture of the pres

country to China.

The FUEL FUTURE OF PETROLEUM.

In Il paper recently read before the
institution of naval architects in Eng
land it was developed that no less than
twenty English vessels plying between
that country and Australia, Africa, ETC.,
are using petroleum as fuel to great
advantage in the matters of weight and
the space occupied, as compared with
coal. The long runs with the crude oil
fuel have proven. its use successful in
every way and British builders of bat
tie ships are devoting time and money
to experiments with a view to increas-
ing the efficiency of their output by
adapting warships to fuel of this kind
English experts assert that an Atlantic
liner might carry 1000 tons additional
freight as saving of weight between
Oil and coal and that nine-tenths of the
space now occupied by coal bunkers
might be put to other purposes. 1t is

can. And this is what we have been waiting
for. just as certain opponents Of the sale in
Copenhagen have been waiting for America to
purchase the Panma Canal, in the hope that this
might bring an increase in the prosperity OF ST
Thomas, and induce Denmark to back out of
her bargain. But what was possible few years
ago. when st. Lucia a coaiing station and
Barbados the headquarters of the Royal Mail
Steamship Company did not exist, is not so now,
without the infusion of such energy, capital and
brains we are not likely TO expect from the
anti-sale party at home and which we have
every reason to expect from America.
Up TO now we are looking for a word of sym
pathy from the mother country for the widows
and orphans VINO have been left destitute by
the loss of the cable ship Grappler. We netu-
rally suppose that something has been sub
scrihed for them in Copenhagen, but thus far
we have not been informed of It, Even in such
a small matter this the Americans have
shown themselves promptly generous by cabling
from New-York the sum of $500 toward their
assistance. Is il any wonder that our people
are beginning to draw comparisons? Is it any
wonder that they do not believe any promises
made by the anti-sale party for the benefit OF
the Danish West Indies?
