FREE TRADE PLANT
FAULT FOUND WITH BUREAU OF
STATISTICS.
Yet the Figures Sent Out by the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor
Simply Show Real Conditions of the
Country's Industrial Progress.

The Springfield Republican is great
ly exercised over the bulletins sent
cut by the Bureau of Statistics, which
has now been transferred from the
Treasury department to the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor. The
Republican does not attempt to i'm
pugn the accuracy or truth of the in
formation sent out, it's only objection
being, apparently, that the bulletins
help the cause of protection by chron.
telling the prosperous condition of the
country, as shown in both our foreign
and home commerce. 1t says: These
government specials to the news
papers average two or three a week,
and as high tariff preachments they
are not excelled by anything the
American Protective Tariff League is
doing" That is both high praise for
the department and in itself the full
Nst possible vindication of the wisdom
Of the trainers of the Dingley law.
The articles sent out once or twice
d week by Mr. Austin are summaries
for the most part of our foreign COM
merce and our internal trade. They
are generally actual figures, with once
in while the figures for a single
month estimated, but always very
conservatively. Almost since the very
beginning of the government it has
been thought matter of wisdom to
give to the country the fullest pos
sible statistics concerning our trade,
particularly our foreign trade. For
the past half century have these fig
.ures been given out quite in detail,
and there is no one but the most hope

RancidltY In Butter.

X butterfat is sealed up and kept
In a cold dark place 1t will retain its
normal character and appearance for
many months, but II it is kept In a
warm place and exposed to light and
air 1t will quickly undergo chemical
and physical changes and become
rancid. Ransldity Is developed by
oxidation, by which means 1t loses Its
customary appearance and smell.
The acidity does not greatly increase
as Is shown by analysis. There is
difference between whole butter and
pure butter fat In their becoming
rancid. The rancidity Of the former
is caused largely by bacteria working
on the caseln, lactose and other in.
gradients that serve as bacterial food.
But in the case of pure butter fat
there is no bacterial development for
the reason that this substance will
not sustain bacterial life Two Euro
pean Observation-Disclosures and Rit-
sert-have proven that bacteria can
not thrive in a medium OF pure fat,
and that all changes taking place In
fats are due to oxidation. Air, light
and warmth are therefore the great
factors in producing the rancldlty OF
pure butter-fat. When pure butter-fat
begins to get rancid 1t begins to
cnange color, getting lighter This
action begins on the surface ard
spreads downward very gradually till
the whole lump Is bleached. With
this change comes a lardy smell and
taste. The taste at first acid becomes
burning and pungent. After several
months of such exposure the butter
fat changes into a semi-solid pasty
mass

The swine introduced into the Uni
red States by the early colonists were
of inferior stock, and the lprovement
in breed is the result of careful selec-
ton, breeding and feeding in compare
lively recent years. Size was former
ly the chief aim of breeders, and was
insisted upon, regardless Of proper

duction, says the last census report.
Between 1918 and 1880 the Chester
White was evolved as distinct breed
by the crossing of some large, white
stock from Bedfordshire, England,
wsh the white hogs then common in
Chester County, Pennsylvania. The
Berkshire was introduced from Eng
land about 1880, but did not come into
general favor till the decade 1870 to
1880. The Poland-China originated in
southwestern Ohio between 1888 and
1910, from the crossing of various mi.
nor breeds. 1t was known by many
names, from among which, in 1879,
that Of Poland-China was selected by
the national convention of swine
breeders. This breed was crossed
with the Berkshire, resulting in better
form and fattening qualities and in
establishing the black color with
white markings.
The interest In swine breeding in
ecent years is illustrated by the
dates of first registration of the diff

CHAPTER XII.
The Earl Is Released,

Next morning, when breakfast was
ended and the table cleared, Crystal
was for going on deck.

"My lord, keep your seat" and saying
this he went into his cabin, and in
a minute or two returned, holding
the crucifiX he had taken from the
dead childs breast, sheet of paper,
pot of ink, and quill pen.
Now, my lord" says he, putting
the sheet of paper and the pen and
ink before the Earl, here are the ma
tcrials with which you are to make
out an order upon Child's for two
thousand two hundred guineas."
What is that crucifiX for?" said the
Earl, whose agitation on sudden
was so extreme that he seemed in
capable of following what was said.
ITO swear you on" says Pope.
The Earl started, shot helpless
look of wrath at Pope, turned slow
and hopeless gaze upon Crystal, then
understanding how absolutely he was
at the mercy of these men, and re-
fiecting that to him his life and lib
erty were quite worth the money
asked for, he wrote. The Earl looked
for little while on the draft as

he then handed 1t to Captain Pope.

He seemed to understand on a sud-
den, and passed his hand with a ges-
ture of dignity toward the crucifx.
Pope stood smiling. This speech
touched the chords of his melodramat-
ic nature. He would have been pleased
to respond with light dramatic -four
ish, but could not instantly find ideas.
Now, my lord" says Pope, after
quietly pocketing the draft, then pick

to take this in your hand"
"Why, sir?" answered the Earl,

edge that such information is not only
instructive but almost invaluable. II,
then, such figures are worth while to
collect and print once a year, as Is
done in the Statistical Abstract" or
once a month, as is done in the Sum
mary OF Commerce and Finance"
then surely a weekly or even a daily
gathering of similar figures must be
both interesting and of value to all
those concerned.
AS regards the promotion OF the
high tariff propaganda" the honest
figures of the country's industrial ad-
vance during the last five years must
tend to that very end. Mr.. Austin
does not manufacture his figures or
his facts; he simply complies and re-
ports them, as he finds them on the Of
fetal or authoritative records. As the
Republican says: These figures are
spread out in specially prepared artl-
Giles and mailed to the press for pub
LEGATION on a specified day" This is
true, and a large portion OF the press
OF the country feel deeply indebted
to Mr.. Austin and his associates for
this work. The busy editor has neither
the means nor the time to collect
these figures and present them to
his readers as he would like TO. The
Bureau OF Statistics is intended for
the very purpose. and the result Of its
work is the property Of the public.
The disloyal papers which do not
want to publish anything rejecting
credit upon their country will leave
them alone; the papers who are
proud Of their country's record in in.

or a part Of them. as they see IT.
