Golna 70 Make Matters Retter2

The dispatches tell us that 81 head
of Iowa steers sold at seven cents a
pound, or s95 a head, in Chicago a few
days ago. Getting the matter nearer
home, the Keosauqua Republican says
that John A. Ferguson of Van Buren,
county recently marketed II head of
steers in Chicago which brought him
$107.S0 per head at seven dollars n
hundred, while another bunch of II
brought $3.50 a hundred. William
Fritz, another farmer of the same
county, recently sold a single wagon
load of wool for s72S.0S. There was a
time about 10 years ago when cattle
and wool were doing pretty nearly as
good as that. Along came c lot Of
fellows who were going to give the
country something better II they could
only get "a change" Enough of the
people were fooled by their talk to
bring about the change. The cattle
fell to three dollars and four dollars a
hundred, wool from 25 cents a pound
to ten, and sheep from three dollars
and four dollars a head to one dollar.
And II took a long time to get prices
back to those of the good old time.
Now there is another lot of fellows,
in these days Of good prices for the
farmer and general prosperity, telling
how they are going TO make matters
better If they can cut down the tariff
and give away home markets to the
foreigner. How many Of the people
are going to be fooled this timer

The Better Trade,

II a time ever arrives in which Ger.
man and American manufacturers
shall be IN the same footing, and the
necessity of hunting a foreign market
becomes as imperative In this count
ry as it is in Germany, the American
producer may be depended on to give
a good account of himself. When that
contingency arises United States ex,
porters will be as ready to extend
long credits al the Germans, and will
probably take as much pains to please
as the latter, but it is idle to expect
them to bother themselves about a
comparatively Improbable foreign
trade when their chief energies are
~engrossed in the business OF supplying
the domestic demand, and while for,
eign trade in many lines consists
wholly OF SURPRISES produced to meet
an American demand.-San Francisco
