TERRITORIAL VETERINARIAN
Reports Facts Concerning Swine
 Plague at Tombstone.

Dr. J. C. Norton, terrltcrial veteri-
 marian retUred yesterday morning
 from Tombstone. his visit thera being occasioned by facts which are referred
 to in the Tombstone Prespector as fcl- lows:
 "The death Of a number of hogs at the slaughter house of Cummings & York today cccasioned considerable comment and report of the prevail ence of hog cholera at the Cens Inquiry of Inspector Porter McDonald ! eliCited the information that a car | load Of hogs numbering 130 head had | been received by the firm a few days | since from Stafford and had been duly 1 inspected at that point. The animals did not appear diseased but solely as ! a precautionary u5asure he notified l Territorial Veterinarian Merton and ] that official is expected here to- | morrow
 When asked yesterday concerning l the incident. Dr. NortCn said that it is ! a fact that a few hogs have died and quite a number of others are i'll. but ! the cause Of the deaths and illness was ! swine pilgue. an entirely diff rent di- sease from cholera. being an affection

 Tn this instance number of hogs

The rest of the hogs are in quarantine and will be carefully looked after. Not al the hogs are affected, or at least a great many of them show no signs Of ill., ness, and the doctor says that if the
 quarantine regulations and treatment | advised are followed closely by the owner, that the trouble should be
 stamped out in a very few weeks with
 a loss probably of not ever a third of the infected drove.

Sent to the Junk Shop.

Mr.. John Barrett, United States min
lister to the Argentine Republic, is
anxious for a reciprocity treaty with
that country. but he should know that
reciprocity, except in "noncompetitive
products" is not looked upon with
favor in high Republican quarters. Mr..
Barrett is so far away from the politi-
cal complications that beset his party
that he has not kept up with the pro-
cessiOn. The reciprocity that Blaine
and Mckinley favored and vast num-
ber of Republicans are demanding has
been relegated to the political junk
shop. and bogus reciprocity that does
not reciprOcate is TO be installed in its
place. The Republican leaders don't
want reciprocity in hides and wool, and
there is no market for foreign wheat
here, as we have a surplus to sell, so
there are no "nOncompetitive products
from Argentina TO make trade on.
According to the protectionists the
tariff is responsible for prosperity and
must not be meddled with, though the
business depression now existing dis
proves that theory. notwithstanding
81. 600 business men in Massachusetts
alone are demanding reciprocity with
Canada. the Republican leaders dare
not grant 1t, except in ''noncompeti-
tive" products, and those are about all
on the free list now.
Reciprocity that would reduce the
tariff of both countries joining in such
n treaty would break down the protec-
ton wall, and that would be disastrous
to some of the tariff fostered trusts and
corporations. How can Mr.. Barrett
expect the Republican party to do that?
Who would the campaign fund be col
lected from If the tariff benefciarieS
did not reSpOnd?

and liquors. glassware and carriages.
Their absurd notions on this point
were well voiced by Congressman
Livermore of New York, who said, May
6, 17S9:
"Do not we all believe that the con-
sumner pays the duty on everything he
consumes? This is Il universal maxim.
and, although it may not be strictly
true to the utmost nicely of calculation,
yet it is generally true. Is the tax on
molasses paid by the planter in the
West Indies? BY no means. 1t is a
duty paid by the people who use it
either raw in substance or distilled into
spirit. No person can possibly con-
ceive that the duties we pay on
merchandise imported is a duty paid
by the people of foreign countries from
whence we get them, nor can they say
that they are any more necessaries of
life than the rice, flour, iron and lum-
Der we ship to other nations"
Such gross ignorance of sound and
fundamental economic principles on
the part of our forefathers can be over
looked only when we consider their
lack of opportunities for obtaining
knowledge. Had they been privileged
to sit for a few minutes at the feet of
our modern protectionists they would
have known how easy it is to levy
duties of 100, 200 or 300 per cent and
collect them from foreigners.
Another delusiOn of our chump fore
fathers was the belief that our manu-
facturers would be the greatest bene-
fciaries Of protection and that our
farmers and wage earners would have
to pay. in increased prices. the tariff
tax which would go to the protected
manufacturers. Apparently 1t never
occurred to these pioneer statesmen
that they could make everybody rich
and prosperous simply by levying
tariff taxes sufficiently high. But we
should not criticise them too severely.
We may have profited by their ignor-
ance and mistakes. Let us be chari-
table, even if we are ashamed of them.

smoot and the Republicans.

Recent press dispatches inform Us
that Senator SmoOt made an appeal to
Mormon audience at Salt Lake City
to carry Utah for the Republican tick
ct. He declared that President ROose-
welt could not carry New York and
would need the electoral vote OF Utah.
This anxiety OF Senator SmoOt for the
success of the Republicans corrobo-
rates the charge that he has been prom
ised TO retain his seat in the senate If
the Mormon vote is thrown for the Re
publican ticket As the Republican
majority in the United States senate
postponed action on the SmOot case I'M
til after election. the Mormon church
will have 10 produce the votes or Apos-

cutting down the hours Of labor and
curtailiDg expenses in every way. 1t is
estimated that since Jan. ]. 1904, more
than $4,000 railroad employees have
been discharged in the United States.
and the pruning process is still going
on. The result OF all this will surely
be a reduction of wages to those who
are able TO keep their employment and
conclusively shows that the protective
tariff does not insure prosperity and
high wages as the prOtectionists claim.
1t is certain that railroads that are cur
failing expenses will buy nothing they
can get along without, and so other
workmen will suffer by loss of orders
to the steel rail mills and other fac
tories that manufacture railroad equip
ments. But the high trust prices still
continue under the stimulus of the pro
tective tariff, yet the Republicans say
the tariff makes prosperity. The men
out OF work. or with reduced wages.
will hardly think so.
