CHICAGO MARKETS

Union Stock Yards, Chicago, Dec.
5.-There was free sale for the
small number of western range beef
steers this week, and late selling
was on strong basis, as compared
with one week ago. Top beeves
made $5.75, Clay, Robinson and
Company securing this price for
lot of Canadians on Monday. Most of
the steers sold at $3.50 and down to
$4.75. She stock advanced 25 cents.
The severe storms in the north
west will doubtless put a stop to
shipments from the range the bal
ance of the season, barring few
struggling loads. Receipts of 5000
this week were about the smallest
for that month since 1901.
Receipts of sheep were rather
moderate, and an active demand
from local packers, as we'll as from
eastern slaughterers, enabled the
selling interests in the sheep and
lamb departments to control the
whiphand on most days this week,
this being evidenced by price gain
of mostly Is cents. Good to choice
fat lots met ready sale, and anything
suitable to take back to the country
for longer feeding also sold readily.
There is nothing in the situation
to warrant taking a pessjmistic view
of the near future condition of the
market, although big runs would
likely result in buyers dominating
the trade. Where the stock is we'll
fatted such should be kept coming
to market, but there is surely no
call for those who have the feed and
facilities to send in habitat grades.

An Unsniked Cannon.

Notwithstanding the desperate eff.
forts OF number of labor and church
politicians to encompass his defeat.
Uncle Joe" Cannon, the sturdy and
manly Republican speaker of the ma
tlonal house of representatives, has
been returned 10 congress by more
than 5000 majority. This sweeping
victory shows that his Illinois eonstit-
uents-the friends and neighbors who
have known him so long and so we'll
took. little stock in the assaults upon
his course as their representative, and
that their esteem for and confidence in
him are as great and firm as ever.
That Uncle Joe" is worthy of the
vindication his people have given him
is confirmed by the following express
slons emanatiug from an eminent Dem
ocratie autEority-Hon. John Sharp
Williams of Mississippi, leader of the
| minority in the lower house of con.
gress.
Personally, l dc not regret the re-
election of Speaker Cannon. He has
courage, grit aad eandor, and, no
matter what other qualities have been
ascribed to him, have always found
him absolutely honest. In fact, if I
were asked to name two Republicans

IN an admirable manner, Mr. Lojsel
hnds time to assist in the management
OF several business enterprises with
ability and success. He has been for
some months at the head of the real

Strong Plea for Maintenance of the
Tariff.


An exceptionally intelligent ant
influential delegation of citizens 0
J Louisiana and Texas interested il
the rice industry visited Wash
lngton last week and appeared befori
the ways and means committee Of tht
national house of representatives fol
the purpose of making a showing il
favor of the mainten ance of the presenl
schedule of import duties imposed
upon foreign rice brought into the
markets of this country in competition
| with the domestic product.
Louisiana and Texas are by far the
greatest rice producing states of the
Union, and the prosperity of the rice
Industry Is of vital Importance to a
large section and a considerable pro-
portion of the population of each of
these states, Now that the political
campaign is over, even the most
pronounced and partisan Democrats
among these people are not only
wiling to eoncede that the Republican
protective tariff policy is essential to
their Industrial welfare, but are as
eIamoroGs as the loudest voiced Re
publicans for the continuance of this
policy.
The rice delegation comprised S.
Locke Breaux of New Orleans, presi-
dent Of the Rice Association of Amer
lea; ]. E. Broussard OF Beaumont.
Tex; &. G. Chalkley of Lake Charles,
P. S. Lowell of Crowley, and w. H..
2. McFadden CT Beaumont: and these
gentlemen made such an effective pre-
sentatIon of their case that tits gen.
orally conceded that the ways and
means committee will urge upon con-
gress the retention of the existing
schedule of rice duties.
In the course of an interview with a
representative Of tie press in Wash /
lngton. Chairman Breaux summarized |
the position Of the rice producers and I
the arguments in favor CT the con-
5inued protection of their Industry in
he following plain and forcible terms:
1.-THE rice interests of the United
States ask that there be no change IN
present tariff conditions SO far as rice
$ concerned. We believe that the
present tariff law has made possible
he wonderful development of the in
iustry IN the coastal territory of Lou
siana and Texas, in North Louisiana
llong the Mississippi river and in the
'falrle belt Of Arkansas In the sec
Ion OF country embraced in what is
oW the rice, producing territory of the
nree states mentioned, there was only
lid, undeveleped country twenty
ears ago. It is now a section of
arms AID towns, all of which have
ONE about through the fostering OF
1e rice. growing industry. Crowley,
iueydan and Jennings, in Louisiana, :
nd Eagle Lake, Bay City, Ell Campo,
Fanando and Markham, in Texas, all
them hourishing cities, owe not :
MY their prosperity but their very
zlstenee to the rice industry. .E
1--WE do not want the duty on rice :
sturbaa. Although labor has IN :
eased so per cent since the enact
ant OF the DtDgley law, still we only
K to be let alone. We protest that r
the duty is abolished or made lower :
will be brought into competition
til the rice growers of the Orient, :
'ere rice growing is a family affair :,
d no wages are paid at all for its
ltivation. u
