Denuer Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS,
Jan. a Supply of cattle here last
week was very good and under
good demand they sold well.
Fat steers and feeders closed 10
to 15c higher than the week be-
fore while cows were about
steady at the close. Good steers
from Northern Colorado feed lots
brought $500 to $5.75 with the
fair kinds ranging down to A.25!
Good pulp fed cows brought
@.25 and hay feds from South
Park went at same price. Most
of the pretty good killing. cows
offered brought $3.25 to $4.O0.
Bulls sold steady at $2.25 to
$2.75. Veal calves higher, tops
bringing $500. Feeder and
stocker demand was strong and
the market in good shape. Good
to choice steers sold at $500 to
$4.65 with fancy Routt county
steers at 81. 82s and $500. Fair
to good steers brought 1885 to
81. 90. Today's market was weak
to dime lower on account of
heavy runs and big declines
East. Receipts here were 5000
head and under good demand all
sold in short order.
AS the date for the opening of
the big National Western Stock
show approaches this event
promises to be even greater and
better than was at first anticipa-
ted. All the big eastern breedes
are coming with their best herds
and thousands of head of stock
from the farms and ranges Of
the West will be on exhibition.
There will be a large number of
eastern buyers here and pros
poets are that everything offered
will find ready sale at good
prices. The show will be held
during the week of January
18th. The new $500, 600 amphi-
theatre is completed and both
day and night sessions will be
held, the horse show occupying
the evenings.

BORROWED EDITORIALS

No doubt remains as to the
best sellers in the book world.
Pierpont Morgan has just paid
S12O, 900 for fifteen valumes at
an auction sale.
A foreign critic charges Ameri-
cans with 'indiscriminate opti-
mism." Now let him prove that
spirit of vigorous hope fulness
can he improved by streaks of
pessimism.
An American baby received a
Christmas gift of 81, 100000. In
it's innocence the infant for some
years yet will prefer a rag doll
and any sort of rattle to the
rattle of the check.
The postal saving bank is
established in the Philippines
and is reported to be growing
favorably. Forty per cent OF
the depositors are Fillipinos, and
this is their first experience with
bank facilities.
In this country" !" says an
exchange, every industry is an
infant one until it is dead. "
We'll, the country is an infant,
though a lusty one.
1t has never been good Ameri
can doctrine that the laws of the
country should undertake to
discriminate between different
classes of citizens.
Mr.. Bryan speaks of necessity
in connection with 1912. The
people will think, as in the first
three battles, that the necessity
is to stick to the best party.
Mr.. Knox has been approved
as cabinet timber by Mckinley,
Roosevelt and Taft, and by his
state for senator, and each time
the office sought him without
effort on his part. The country
is fortunate to have a supply of
men of this stamp.

LAYING DOWN
THE TARIFF LINES

In beginning, as IL mas just
done, the actual work of framing
the tariff revision bill the Ways
and Means Committee has made
an early start. 1t has been hav-
ing hearings for the past six
weeks. Several hundred persons,
representing most Of the great
activities and all sections of the
country, have been before the
committee. This was a large
task. 1t ought to have been in
trusted to commission of i'm
partial experts, who would have
the time to go over the sched-
ules much more carefully than
any congressional co m m tt e e
could do. Such a body could
make a report on which Con-
gress could base it's revision bill.
Within its necessary limitations,
however, the committee has
probably done a good work.
AS the new Congress will be
called in session about the middle
of March by President Taft, the
revision bill will probably be
ready to report to the House
day or two later. All the pres
ent Republican members of the
Ways and Means C o m m ittee
have been reelected except one
or two. Their purpose is to have
the revision measure ready, in
it's general outline, by March A.
The few finishing touches which
will be needed can be made
promptly after the extra session
begins. The revision bill of 1897,
the present Dingley law, was
signed by President Mckinley on
July "a. 1t is not expected that
such quick work will be made
this time. Thoroughness and in
telligence in the revision is what
are wanted and not speed, and
President Taft and the American
people will insist on having
these.
The volume of the country's q
imports is double as large as il
was in 1897, and the work of
bringing the schedules into har-
mony with the new conditions is
much more difficult than it was
then. The newspapers, however,
have made a better study of the
subject than they had at thai
time, and they will be able, with
their suggestions, to aid Con
gress. Mr.. Taft has said that i
would be better to leave tn,
tariff as it is than to have tn,
wrong sort Of revision, and tina
is how the party feels about it
Honest revision will be had, il
which the interests Of the work
er and the employer, the cor
sumer and the producer, will b
kept constantly in view. Th
platform promise Of genuine re
vision will be kept, in spirit an
in letter. Globe Democrat.
