Junction City, because Gesry

This decline in prices shows clear

ment in favor Of prompt and
efficient legislation, looking to the
relief of the present situation.
Since 1894 cattle and fresh beef
from the United States have been
excluded from the German mar
kets. and since September 1900,
the importation OF canned meats
and sausages has been practically
prohibited by the German govern
ment, whereas. up to that time
they were large consumers of our
canned and preserved meats. The
import duties of France are as
high as to practically prohibit
shipments from this country.
This..rule applies to the general
tariff in live stock and its pro-
ducts. There is. however. a few
exceptions in packing house pro-
ducts, on which the minimum
tariff is charged, which reduces
the figures to some exent.
The live stock owners of this
country, through their organiza-
tions, will demand of the next con
gress, the passage of such meas.

why they do not pay a fair and
remunerative price.
Therefore if congress will Sc
cure for us equitable trade relations
with foreign nations we will then
feel certain of a good demand,
both at home and abroad. for live
stock and the products thereof.
We must have and rely on for
foeign markets for our surplus in
order to obtain a fair price at
home. The price received from
foreign markets for our surplus
adds just that much to our wealth,
and fixes TO q more or less degree,
the price on what we sell at home.
1t goes without saying, q cur
talment of our foreign. trade in
live stock and is products, means
not only a loss Of that trade but a
stagnation Of business at home.
The live stock producers Of this
country view with alarm the pas
sing from them Of their foreign
markets, but they are convinced
with proper legislation looking TO
equitable treaties with foreign
governmets. they would find an
unlimited demand for their pro-
ducts. thus restoring confidence.
If only the German and French
markets could be opened up to
the live stock and its products of
the United States, those countries
in additions to the British and
Belgium markets. which we. al.
ready have access to, would give
in great relief. and give an
impetus to the live. stock business
insuring the same degree of pros.
perity enjoyed by other industrie.
of this country.
Remove or modify the restric
tions under which we are com
PEELED to market GU Rive stock il
foreign countries. thus giving the
law of supply and demand full
sway. and the live stock producers
will enjoy their just share of pros
perity.
1t is probable the sheep ant
hog interests of the country hav'
not suffered to the same exten
the cattle interests have, owing tt
an apparent, temporary shortage
the time will come, however
when they will be compelled t
participate in this great shrinkag
in values and bear their share o
the burden, unless, as stated be
fore, we secure through congress
prompt relief.

restrictions, through congress.
which have been placed on the ex.
ports Of meats from this country
70 Germany and France. Mr..
Pryor made an exhaustive argu-
ment, and said in part as follows.
The live stock producers of this
country feel and believe, that those
who represent the manufacturing
districts have had. and hold the
reinS of government, and have
dominated and controlled both
branches of our national congress,
for a number of years. This be-
ing true the manufacturer of this
greatcountry has received every
possible consideration and protec-
ton that congress could grant.
And again, the manufacturers
have for years been thoroughly
organized, and through such an
organization they have been able
to present to congress in an united
effort, in an intelligent manner
such protection and measures, as
they wanted.
Until within a few years the
live stock interests of this country
had 20 organization for the pur,
pose of securing beneficial legisla.
ton, and such organization as
they had was for the sole purpose
Of protecting their stock from
depreciation Of various kind.
A few years ago, however, the
various live stock organization:
in the great west awakened to thu
realization of the fact that it wa'
necessary for them to let congress!
know their wants in order to Sc
cure their equitable share o
legislation and protection. and
say to you in all sincerity an,
candor. if congress does not come
to the relief of the live stock in
terests of this country, the exten
that producers of all classes of liv
stock and the manufacturers @
the product of the same. may en-
