LIVE STOCK CONFERENCE
In Chicago Promises To Be Largely A.
tended-Much Interest Shown.

Denver. Col, July Ell. S. Gwinn,
secretary of the National Livestock AS
ISOLATION, says the most encouraging
returns are pouring In from the invita-
tions sent out to the stock organiza-
lions of the country to attend the rec
iprocity conference to be held in Chi
cago, Aug. 16 and II. He also has re-
ceived word from Alvy H. Sanders.
chairman of the reciprocity committee,
that fully 5000 responses have been re-
ceived at Chicago from the various
prominent trade organizations and in
dividuals who intend to be present.
"Surcly, agricultural America will
awaken to the fact" said Sec. Gwinn.
"that a serious menace to our prosper
ity impends in the shape of the new
European policy and an appeal is made
to all who have the interests of our
producing class at heart to cooper
ate in making the Chicago conference
the starter of an agitation which will
be heard in the District of Columbia.
Notice has been served upon us by
the German government that in March
next. the leading products Of American
fan ms will be subjected to such excess
sive duties in German markets as to
practically prohibit our competitive
trade in that country. In 1904. we sold
Germany our products to the extent of
$2l6, 900. 900 in value and got from her
$106. O00.0 900 Of her products.
THAT trade was secured under the
commercial agreement of July 81, 1900,
authorized by the Dingley bill. which
opened the German market for Amer
lean goods. Such a market is surely
worth keeping and I would like to sec
