The TARIFF PROBLEM.
REVISION AND ANTI.REVISION
SENTIMENTS IN WASHINGTON.
Speaker Cannon between Two Fires
Question to be a Live One During
the Next Session of Congress.

It is rather amusing to those who
are on the inside of the political arena
in Washington to observe the manner
In which discussions of the tariff are
conducted throughout the country. In
an academic way the theories of the
tariff are talked over. But to the men
on whom the real work of revising the
tariff would devolve there are very diff
ferent considerations to influence them.
They openly declare that the tariff
ought to be revised, but they say the
danger to business interests would be
so great that they fear undertaking it.
They insist that a struggle over the
schedules would last six months, and
that during that time the business in
terests would be suffering stagnation
that would afflict the country very
sOrely.
This view is secuted by the revision
lists as one that has no standing with
men who believe in doing things. They
claim that If such considerations are
to prevail there never could be a re-
vision of the tariff.
So Easy To Revise.

agreeing upon changes in the Dingley

impends will be precipitated by over
production of manufactured goods.
He says Consumption must have its
bounds, and so with the consumption
of manufactured articles. When "a
mar has filled all his requirements in
clothes and furniture a mere lowering
of prices, which is all that mechanical
improvements generally mean nova
days, can no longer attract him.
Therefore, when the output is not re-
strained the market necessarily be-
comes choked."
Mr.. Rockefeller is specific as to the
time when the crash is to occur. 1t is
likely that he errs in this, because pre-
dictions as to periods of depression
and reimbursement are seldom fulfilled
as to dates. Crises as a rule come I'M
expected and the immediate reason is
most apt to be due to over-expansion
of credit, and overproduction of secur-
tiles than to actual oyerproduction of
goods; but when to the of over
expanded credits is added overproduc-
ton of manufactures and a lop-sided
industrial system. recovering from the
crash is more difficult.

Thirty States Represented.

The Mount Vernon Ladies' Associa-
ton is a most exclusive body. 1t is
composed of a regent, who is president
of the association, and a vice-regent
from each of the States of the Union.
Thirty States are now represented.
Tie women are justly proud of the
work that has been and is being accom-
plished, and so value their places in
the council that it has become a GUS
tom for the office of vice-regent to de-
scend from mother to daughter or
other near relative. When a vacancy
occurs IN the council the Governor of
the State is invited to nominate some
prominent woman; but should the
name not receive the favorable consid-
Grafton of the regent and v~ice-regents
no appointment is made until n ac-
ceptable to all is proposed.
Miss Cunningham, the first regent,
lived at Mount Vernon from 1868 to
1873, when she resigned on account of
i'll health. She died the following
year. The present regent is Mrs. JUS
tine Van Rensselaer, Townsend, of New
York.
During the Civil War, though in the
very midst of the conflict, Mount Yer
non escaped serious injury. This was
mainly due to the heroism of Miss
Tracy, the secretary of the association,
who took up her abode at Mount Yer

Choice Cattle Lower.

Chicago. Dec. 14.-Given a great adj
vantage because of the excessive re-
ceipts during the past week, cattle
buyers stuck their hs!rpoon deep into
the market. The good to choice cat
tile got worse blow than the common
grades, for the latter We're already low
consistent with good morals, and so
the brunt of the attack was against
the superior grades. There was no
other logical reason for this than that
the supply was entirely too large.
Feeling that there would be a good
outlet during the Christmas season,
most stockmen who had the holiday
kind held them back for that period.
The result was that there We're more
choice cattle offered than the demand
called for and down went the prices
accordingly. The secondary class Of
shipping cattle suffered most. for they
were the most numerous. These cattle

Chicago, Dec. 14.-The market was

There is still relatively small demand
for big weight cattle, and several lots
of very prime 1000 to 1900 pound beeves
were held long time Wednesday be-
fore receiving bids. Both the local and
outside buyers show a decided prefer
ence for 1900 to 14OO pound kinds, as
against the 1450-pound and upward
classes, and any strength in prices is
almost wholly in the trade for these
favored weights, and lighter kinds.

Webster city, Dec. 14.-'Never has
there been so much poultry in the
country as now. The farmers arg
bringing 1t into the city piled high ir
their wagons in crates and have sc
filled the capacity of the pens kept by
local buyers that shipments from ou.-
side points are being refused.
The Ellingson & Mature packing es-
tablishment is turning out 10000
pounds Of dressed poultry day and
evens then their capacity for the re-
ception Of live birds is pushed to its
utmost.
The Ellineson & Mature and other To-
cal companies are having all they can
do to handle. the poultry that is being
brought to the city from this immedi-
ate vicinity. The pens are so crowded
that they actually cannot take care of
outside shipments. The Ellingson &
Mature house have thirty pickers at
work for ten hours each day and these
are handling two thousand birds per
working day. This one establishment
has capacity for keeping on hand 12,-
900 birds Of, various kinds constantly.
The output Of two thousand dressed
birds per day, or ten thousand pounds,
is half car load This vast amount
of dressed poultry is put into cold
storage and shipped to the Boston and
New York markets. OF the $4,000 head
of poultry in the pens constantly, all
Of 5000 are chickens. the remainder
being ducks, turkeys and geese.
Osmonf 1lllingson, who has charge
Of the Ellingson & Mature packing
house, states that the vast amount Of
poultry which is coming in every day
is in the very best Of condition. It Is
not being marketed because the farm
ers cannot afford to carry it over the
winter, but rather because there has
been plenty Of food and the birds have
matured rapidly and fattened earlier
than usual. The present rush to mar.
ket with this class of produce is who'll:
ly unprecedented in this part Of the
country, however, and is indicative o.
the general happy conditions under
which the central Iowa farmer is Ia
boring this year.

stockers and Feeders,

Chicago Dec. 14.-The movement is
slow for there are not many country
buyers here Local dealers expect the
volume of trade will be limited the
balance of the week. Most of the good
cattle were picked up at firm rates but
the common and medium were not in
demand even at low rates. Some local
orders were on the hook yesterday for
choice feeders but buyers were inclined
to hold back for the Internati onal. Most
of the business was done in medium
to good feeders at $3.25@3.S0 but the
best selected feeders We're quotable up
to S425 or better. The bulk Of the
common and medium light weight
stockers sold at $4,000. The supply
on hand was small but large enough to
suit the demand.
