La congregation Sc ha ocu-
pado esta maflana del conflicto
de los cerdos.
Ell Executive ha debido ofre-
Ger un espectaculo conmovedor
y sOlemne.
Y al mismo tempo ha dado
un alto ejemplo de humildad,
que deben aprovechar los que
niegan toda virtud a los con-
gregantes.
Ellos estan para todo, y no
abandonan SUI papel de tutores,
nj en- momentos tan criticos CO.
mo los actuales, en- los que va
corriendo grave riesgo y evi-
dente peligro la seriedad que
impone ell cargo, y que ellos
converter en- comica gravedad
de muy plntorescas apariencias.
La culpa sera del regimen, de
seguro que 10 es, pero es 10 cier-
to, que nuestros ilustres padras-
tros estan en- una situacion har
to dificil y francamente desai-
rada.
ST al menos supieran hallar
una soluci0n al ConflictO, que
dejara satisfechos los deseos y
las necesidades generates sobre
Ell particular, casi sc les podria
cOndonar la pena que les cores
pOnde pOr estarse metlendo en-
todas las cosas, para empeorar
las y echar sobre elias nuevas
CompliCaciOnes, con las natura :
les sospechas que nacen del te-
NOR que inspira ell saber que ell
Executive anda metido en- cual-
quier asunto.
Y el sistema VICENTE tiene
esa fatalidad.
No hay NADIA que escape a la
omnipotencia de la congrega
cion, NADIA que pueda salvarse
de su Influenza morbOsa y que
no sea como TN feudo de ella.
Y tiene esa congregation ia
cultades tan arbitrarlas y tan
amplias que sus acuerdos son
defnitivos, inapelables. hasta en-
los tribunales de justicia.
Asi, cuando alguno de los
miembros de la congregation,
va personalmente 9 por medic
de sus acolitos comete un desa-
guisado. 10 1leva a la sancion
del Executive para hacerlo sa-
grado, en- nombre del redentoris.
mo, que tiene a su cargo la con.
frmacion de las torpezas, mons

La aprobaci6n del Executive
sc imparte con arreglo al critic
rio mas original Y de la mas
absolute despreocupacion.
ST sc lesionan intereses de los
ciudadanos 8 de las corporacio-
mes; 81 esos intereses requieren
una reparacion y la demandan,
es indtil que 10 intenten, por-
que el Executive en- su aspecto
de infalible es por consecuencia
loglca, inapelable
Y es justo que asl suceda.
lOue tribunal, que orga nismo,
que institution por saba, por

Y ademas, 1no es una irreve-

An Open Letter 10 the Farmers
and StoCkmen Of the United States

Chicago, July 25.-As chairman, of
the committee on arrangements for
the national reciprocity conference To
be held at Chicago. August 16 and II,
! am in receipt of many inquiries from
farmers and stockmen as TO why this
matter assumes such prominence al
this time and as to the attitude the
producing classes ought TO assume in
reference to this new movement, and
as to the readiest means OF making
brief reply to such questions | sub
NIT the following statement
In the first place agflcultur9 IS the
underlying basis of all american pros,
peril. When the farmer prospars
every ether legitimate industrial en-
terprise enjoys prosperity The mea-
sure & the farmer i,roGt Is the ptiee
commanded by his surplus product
In normal crop years a market has TO
be found for an enormous quantity Of
grain provisions beyond the, needs of
domestic consumption. This huge
surplus has to be sold abroad. Hence
the cultivation and safeguarding of
our European outlet becomes n Of
the first duties of our government.
What brings the matter up in such
urgent form at this particular time?
The answer is that important changes
have recently taken place. or are
about to take place, in the tariff sys-
TENS of nearly all of the nations of
continental Europe which have adopt
ed or have now under contemplation
the adoption of. high protective tarie
duties on imports. Moreover, Germany
and France have already aGOptcd a
dual tart ffsystem under which .
maximum or general ta'.r is put IL
on all ordinary imports and a r''ni
mum, separate or conventional tariff
is applied to such nations as will en-
ter into reciprocal trade relations
the difference between these two
rates of duty running from Is per cen
to rs per cent. That the application
Of the maximum rate to American
wheat, corn, rye. oats, barley, butter
cheese, eggs, -four, pork, lard, beef
cattle, horses, sheep, swine, fruits
ETC., will have a disastrous effect ur
on the continental market for on
farm products is so self-evident tina
ever he who runs may read.
The new tariff system of Germany
which goes into effect during the frs
half of the year 1906, not only double
many of the rates Of duty upon GU
chief articles of export. but also b
the reciprocal treaties entered int
by Germany with a number of Euro
pean nations will place us at a sti
greater disadvantage. The same 20
dition will soon meet us in Austrt
Hungary, where the proposed ne
tariff is expected shortly to be adop
ed. As an instance of the blightin
effect of these high tariff rate
of duty upon exports from the Unite
States, it is sufficient to mention tn
article of cotton seed oil. the dut
upon which will be quadrupled, whic
will destroy our cotton seed oil e,
port to that country.
Russia raised her rates of duty G
our exports by from so per cent
100 per cent in 1901 in retaliation II
