There are l,S4O,2OO more men than
in the United States, and the
same proportion prevails in almost
every country. The only exception is
in Paraguay, where there are more

This is due to the fact that some years

proposition the latter enter the most
emphatic objection, and a vigorous
campaign has been started by them to
enlist the support of stockmen 10 an
endeavor to saddle this expense upon
the public. The packers go.Iin,o com.
munication with several stockmen
whose names are familiar to the pub.
lie. and persuaded them to assist in
this scheme to dodge a tax that has
been made necessary by filthy and
careless packing methods. Among
the allies secured in this work are
Frank j.. H%agenbarth. Of the Ameri-
can Livestock association. and Attor.
ney Sam Cowan, who has represented
Texas stOckmen in many matters OF a
public nature. These two men. who
assume to represent the feeling OF
stockmen generally, are engaged in
the questionable work Of criticizing
President Roosevelt for his action in
the matter. and urging members of
congress to enact a law that will be
easy on the packers.
These efforts 70 misrepresent the
motives o: the president, and to be.
little him in the eyes Of the American
people. will have an effect contrary to
that intended. His determination TO
compel the packers to use modern
methods in their business, and to
handle food products IN a
that is not injurious to health, will be
endorsed by every right minded citi.
Zeu.
The packers themselves are to blame
in the matter. They have become mil.
lionaires many times over by bleeding
the livestock interests, and piling up
wealth that should have been expended
in part in improving their plants and
putting them.iuto a sanitary condition.
Disregarding necessary rules of
health, because their observance
would have caused a comparatively
small expense, the packers have en-
dangered the lives ofjmillions Of Am.
erican meat consumers. In fact, it is
the opinion of many that sickness and
death among thousands of families
have been due to the contamination of
meats placed on the market from these
disease infected packing houses.
Having been placed in possession
Of conclusive evidence regarding the
frightful state of affairs in these big
packing plants, was it proper that

ton for the financial interests of the
otfenders-refrain from making such
facts public: He hesitated to tell the
whole Of the disgusting story, but
when the packers attempted to inhu-
euce legislation, and seemed likely 70
succeed in getting a law that would
not meet the demands Of the situation,
it was propersthat congress and the
people be informed as to revelations
disclosed by an official investigation.
Whatever sefect the incident may
have upon the livestock market will be
only temporary. Under the new con.
ditions proposed, meat consumers will
be assured cleanliness and careful
methods in the packing plants, and
will have confidence in the healthful.
ness OF meat products that have here.

NEARLY THREE BILLIONS
Foreign Commerce of United states
Makes a New Record.

Washington, Jan. 25.@The foreign
commerce of the United States ap-
preached surprisingly near to the
three million dollar point in the calen-
dar year 1905, according to a report
issued by the bureau of statistics of the
department of commerce and labor
The total imports and exports of
merchandise. . the report says. .'is
2,S06. 900, 600 against $2,307, 600, 600
in 1900, an average increase of $780,
100000 a year in the five year period
If to the $2,s06. .000,0000 of foreign
commerce in 1905. were added the
figures of trade with Hawaii and Porto
Rico, formerly foreign territory and
included in our statements of foreign
trade prior to 1901, the total would
approximate $2.9 .900,000.000, or about
$500, 600. 600 more than five years ago,
and $1,000, 900. 600 more than ten
years ago. Another notab Bile character
istic of the years foreign trade is the
fact that the exports in the month of
December We're practically $200,000,-
600, the largest months expectation in
any year prior to December, 1905, be-
ing that of December, 1904, when the
total was S174,819, ,566.'
The reports adds: 1.-The import rec
ord for 1906 is also in excess of that of
any preceding year, being for the Il
months ending with December, SI.179,-
35S.S46. against $1,035, 5,909. 100 in 1904.
The goWth of imports, while not rapid,
has been steady and continues to be so
keeping approximately with the
growth of population.
1.-THE commerce with the noneon-
tiguous territory of the United States
also makes a new high record for 1905,
and will amount to about $l30, ,00C
in value against a little less than $780,
000 nN0 last year.
