president Of the new Reform club in
England and is one of the ablest and

ing Chamberlain is evident from the
following extracts from an interview
printed ut Washington Nov. "a:
There is an infinite difference be-
tween the fiscal position Of Great Brit
ain and of America. Geographically
Great Britain could be added to one of
the American states like Texas without
pcrceptibly increasing the size of that
State. Politically Great Britain is part
of an empire consisting of widely sepa-
rated territories divided by oceans and
hostile territories, while the United

this? Because in America the country

MI Chamberlain has dwelt greatly
upon the excess of our imports over
our exports and has argued that we are
either selling our securities or running
into debt When we turn, however. to
the figures, we discover that the in
come derived from British investments
abroad increased between the years
1881 and 1891 from $50, 900 to $54-
5l,OO0.GnO to $;2.OOo.OOO. Moreover,

An Open Letter.

The outlook this spring is that there
will be less cattle, and probably more
grass locally in the West than for
some time. With this in mind, and
also considering that it probably will
be fact that good Southern cattle
will be at II less price than for several
years; we wish to call your attention
to our facilities and ability to supply
you, or any one, desiring young cattle
during the months OF May and June.
We have had n very large trade in
this class of business, and are pre-
pared to quote young steers and heif-
ers of good quality delivered at any
railroad station in this state. These
cattle we price delivered and ship
them at our risk and expense, thus
making u much better deal for the
buyer than to secure the same on a
commission basis. If the cattle we
sell you are not as represented you
will be under no obligations to take
them.
We also make n feature of financing
cattle men on reasonable basis, and
our business is such that we can ac-
commodate cattlemen without tying
them up to pay commission charges,
or ship to any particular firm to mar
ket in the fall, or any other objection
able feature.
Our customers include many of the
most prominent rangemen in the en-
tire Northwest, and a majority of our
cattle are sold for cash. During the
year 1902 we furnished about 5000
young steers, and this year it is likely
we will be called upon to furnish not
less than $4,000.
II you want some cattle, we would
like to furnish them to you, and give
you the benefit of the wholesale price
that such large buyers rs ourselves
are able to secure. Please write to
us about this matter, and we will be
pleased to go into it with you.
Very truly yours,

For jefferson Davis Monument.

The officers of the Confederated South
ern Memorial Association have issued
circular letter to the officers and camps
of United Confederate Vete. ans, asking
for contributions to the fund to erect a
monument to jefferson Davis. The letter
saws:
I'VE have reared monuments to our
military heroes but have neglected thus
far to give tangible expression to the
debt of love and gratitude we owe to
the memory of him who was the martyr
of our cause. 1t is proposed to unveil the
jefferson Davis Monument in Richmond,
the capital of the Confederacy, June Bird,
1904, and as this will be the last conven-
tion of the United Confederate Veterans
prior to that date, it seems most fitting
that a final appeal should be made at
New Orleans, the city where the angel Of
death called him to his reward
"The Confederated Southern Memorial
Association appeals to each and every
veteran and to the sons of veterans who
intend visiting New Orleans for the Re
union of 1903, to bring an offering-no
matter how small, the sum to be devoted
to this purpose"
of the Ladies' Memorial Associations of
New Orleans will take charge of the
boxes which will be provided to receive
all offerings Let every veteran come
prepared to contribute his mite to the
Jefferson Davis Monument, and let us all
join in a grand rally at the unwilling at
this monument in Richmond, June Ord,
1904
The letter is signed by Mrs. w. ].
Behan, president, and Miss Sue II. Walk
err, secretary. 1t is endorsed by General
j. B. Gordon, as follows
AS Commanding General l invite the
special attention of all comrades to the
above earnest appeal. The devoted wo-
men of the South will complete at an
early day. this monument to our illustri-
GUS chieftain if We will support them in
their patriotic efforts. Every living Con-
federate-every Southern man, woman
and child should be a contributor to this
monument, even if the contribution be
small-in order that all may be identified
with this testimonial. No urging is need
ed to induce the camps to furnish the
required amounts. Each will respond
promptly and gladly with its proportion
When tnat proportion IS made known.
Let each camp and delegate to the
Reunion at New Orleans resolved to CON
tribute a share, and thus honor the Con-
federate cause and the people while pay
ing this merited tribute to the great lead
