more than any other section of the country. the
reduction would be felt much in Massachusetts

TUBE SERVICE MENACED.
Proposed Increase of Appropriation
Nan Cause a Deadlock.
IrEom TIE rR1nuxE nrRrA1-.l

Washington, Feb. 24.-The pneumatic tube
appropriation has been endangered through the
action OF the Serate Committee on Postoffices
and POST Roads. which struck out the House
provision Of SSoQoo0 for the service and sub
stituted the Foraker amendment. This amend
ment. appropriates S1,5000o0 for pneumatic
tubes for the next fiscal year. leaving the ex-
pen diture of the money IN the discretion OF
the Postmaster General and authorizing him
TO enter into ten-year contract for tube
service
The members of the House Committee on
Postofices and Post Roads to-day declared
themselves opposed to the amendment, and in
sisted that they would not agree to the change
IN conference. If they hold to their present in
tention the result will be a deadlock, with the
ultimate outcome somewhat in doubt.
The Foraker amendment is regarded as IA
vorable TO the extension of the pneumatic tube
service in New-York City and those desiring
to improve the postal conditions existing there

ARMOR PLATE INQUIRY.
Resolution Calls for Proceedings
against the Alleged Trust.

Washington, Feb 24.-Representative Vandiver. Of
Missouri, introduced the following resolution the
House to-day.
Resolved, That the Attorney General inform the
any proceedings have been instituted either civil
or criminal against the armor plate trust, and if
Resolved. That the Attorrey General also inform
determine whether or not the said armor plate
trust should be prosecuted for violation Of the
other. United States statutes against trusts and
combines in restraint Of trade.
The resolution was referred to the judiciary Com
mittee.
preamble recites that on September 6. 1901. the
Attorney General asked to institute civil and
criminal proceedings against the Carnegie Steel
Company and the Bethlehem Steel Company, as
combining and constituting what the petition al
legged was armor plate trust for controlling the
price Of armor plate. and that there was filed with
the Attorney General and with the President
statement of the facts and evidence show
ing conspiracy whereby the trade and
commerce in armor plate had been monopo-
lzed and the trust enabled to sell many
thousand tons Of to the government
at prices ranging from s445 $500 ton. after
duly appointed board of expert naval constructors
had reported that the actual of the armor
did not exceed Sl97 ton. II is further alleged
that an agreement existed between the Carnegie
and Bethlehem companies as to prices and that
they have divided the contracts of the government
between themselves, each bidding lower than the
other for one-half of the armor required at any
time by the government. Additional evidence OF
this conspiracy to prevent free and open competi-
ton in bids for armor plate, the preamble con-
tnues, has been shown in the hearing of the pres
eut Secretary of the Navy. when on January a.
1906. Mr.. Morton stated to the House Committee
on Naval Affairs that the bids of the Bethlehem
and Carnegie companies for 1920 tons of armor
plate which had been opened January - were
discovered to be identical. In spite of this ac-
cumulative evidence Of conspiracy in restraint of
trade. the preamble says, the Secretary OF the
Navy awarded contracts TO these two companies
at $453 ton. when an Independent company out
side Of the trust had offered furnish exactly
the armor for s39S q ton. thus increasing tho
cost TO the government SO ton in order 10 favor
the trust. ard indicating the powerful influence
which the aforesaid plate trust has acquired

PUBLISHED RvERY FRIDAY.
THOS. DOVERY, PUBLISHER.
Frank Eddy, former member OF

Frank Eddy, former member OF
congress and now editor of The
Sank Center Herald, is ready to
engage in a joint debate with the
most ardent standpatter there ia
in the state. The versatile Eddy
believes in patronizing home in
dustry, and says there is no
necessity of importing either Gov
ernor Cummins or Governor La
Toilette into the state for the pur-
pose of discussing the tariff question
from the revisionist's standpoin t..
In the recent number of his paper,
Mr.. Eddy, has this to say:
1--WE stand ready to meet all
corners either in joint discussion
through the columns of the news
papers or by lecture to affirm:
''That protection is one of the
fundamental principles of republi-
canism, and that for revenue or
free trade are inimical to the best
interests of the nation. We will
further affirm that 'standpattism
and stand stillism are synonymous
terms: that there is a crying and
immediate need of a revision Of our
tariff laws; that tarf on commodi-
ties controlled by trusts or mono
poles aid such a trust or monopoly
to Cypress the people and is con-
trary to republicanism and the
American spirit of fair play; that
protective tariff upon commodities
that are sold by the producers
cheaper in the markets they are
protected against than in the home
markets is not protection but legis-
lative plumber; that a tariff on
lumber and fish is an absurdity
and a travesty upon protective
principles; that reciprocity is as
much republican principle as
protection.
1--WE have no reputation as a
linguist. The only languages that
we can speak with facility English,
Norwegian and Hog Latin. We are
no orator, but since our entrance
into public life we have made 1887
public addresses and we have some
thing of reputation of being able
to sling the United States dialect in
a manner so that the plain pluggers
can understand what we mean, and
if we can't convince those who do
the nations work, pay the nations
bills and transact the nations bust
ness, Of the truth of the above pro-
positions in any of the ways above
indicated, we will agree to leave the
haunts of civilization and hike to
the northwest angle and fish for
bullheads for su bsistence, learn the
deaf and dumb alphabet and talk
with our fingers for tho rest of
livoa -

Ace Of the Profitable Steer.

The item below from the Breeders
Gazette will be of great interest to
those feeding cattle, and when they
feed any aged animal they should
be sure that it is of a good grade
beef breed:
To the Gazette 1T requires
bout one half as much grain to
produce 100 pounds of gain on
calves as on two year olds. The
work of the Missouri Agricultural
College has definitely demonstrated
that the most profitable age to
fatten cattle is while they are still
young. The older the animal the
more food is required to produce
given gain Other stations have also
investigated this question and have
arrived at the same result.
The Central Experiment Station
Farm at Ottawa, Can, found by
comparing 1000 pounds live weight
in the case of calves, yearlings, two
and three year Odds, that the profit
for each 1000 pounds was: Calves,
$31 yearlings, $27; two year Odds,
1910; three year Odds, $3.50.
When all of the cattle Of all ages
were purchased at 4 cents a pound
and sold fat at cents pound, the
profit on $1,000 invested in feeding
cattle was: calves, 1857. so; yearlings
1884; two year ODDS, $19s.75; three
year Odds, $177.50.
Nine tenths of all the cattle fed
in the Middle West are two year
Odds at the beginning of the feeding
period. When these cattle are in
thin condition at the beginning of
the experiment they are often fed
with profit, but starting with calves
within the same condition it is un-
questionably true that the calves
return more profit for each 1000
invested than the older cattle.
