DIES MONIES, July 7.-(special Wv. E.
Skinner of the Union stock yards Of Chi
cago, and connected with the National
reciprocity conference which is to be held
In Chicago August 10 and 10, is in the city
today and made a personal call on Gov
eruor Cummins to invite him to be present
at the conference and deliver an address
The Corn Belt Meat Producers association
of this state joins with fourteen other or
CARNATIONS In the call for the convention.
Governor Cummins assured Mr. Skinner
that he would be present and participate.
At his hotel this evening Mr.. Skinner
said: IF / should talk all night 1 could
not tell more Of the purpose OF the con-
ference than is contained in the call. This
is decidedly important affair. We arc
today face to face with a new and prohibit
tive German tariff designed to keep out
every pound of American breadstuffs and
meat products. Retaliation has been tried
at tremendous cost to our producers and
manufacturers and is failure. In calling
this conference we stand on the broad plat
form enunciated by President Mckinley in
his last speech at Buffalo. We care not
whether the future of our trade be safe
guarded by means OF direct reciprocity
treaties or under the provisions of fairly
drawn maximum and minimum tariff law
under which the government could directly
negotiate advantageous international agree
ments, but the situation demands at once
that In some form there be established the
principle of conceding something to such
nations as will conoede valuable trade re-
lations with u.s."

the city of Carroll the county OF that name

lation. The population Of Carroll county is
now @.5S5 and the population OF Carroll city
is s,z1S. This makes seven counties out OF
thirty-two that show gain in population.
