Hish-Prieed Cuts Of Beef Really Con.
tain Less Nutriment Than
tho Others.


The world of education will come in
for a large share of attention at the
beef consumers congress In Denver
next January. At the present time 80
per cent. Of the beef demand Ia for the
loin and ribs, while the chuck and
round and other portions of the ami
NAL go begging for customers. In the
average beef carcass loin and ribs
constitute only about rs per cent of
the total available meat and fully 80
per cent. of the demand is for this
Is per cent. of the carcess AS re-
suit the loin and ribs sell at enormous
ly high prices, while the other nor-
tons are comparatively cheap. For
instance. in Denver to-day the average
price of ribs is about 30 cents per
pound, and the loin brings from 81 and
a half to 35 cents per pound; the
round and rump can be bought from
II and half to 20 cents, chuck for Is
cents, plate and brisket for eight cents
and less, and the flank and suset from
eight to ten cents per pound AS a
matter of scientific fact, the round
and chuck contain more nutriment
than do the loin or rib, so that it is
merely matter of preparation.

straightforward story, and enough other
details to extend the talk fully fifteen
minutes. His client was acquitted.

just Enough to Qualify.

There IS a budding young lawyer over
in Camden county who inherits a taste
for politics. In fact. his father. a con-
tractor. earned the money for the young
mans schooling mainly through his
political connections. and the young
man himself seriously thinks OF asking
the suffrages Of his fellow citizens. The
other day he met a dusly resident OF
Camden county who has spent so much
OF his time on the inside looking out
through prison bars-that his right to
vote Is somewhat doubtful in a com

are no dead letter.

QUITTING DOWN EXPENSES.

The great railroad systems under
the control Of James ]. Hill and some
other roads have adopted a policy Of
retrenchment. and thousands of men
have been laid OF I'm consequence.
Increased taxes, increased prices for
labor and material and the enlarged
powers Of the state railroad commits
siOns are given as the cause by How
ard Elliott. president of the Northern
Pacific.
notwithstanding the explanation Of
fered by President Elliott. it is more
likely that the action was taken on
account Of the freight rate increase
having been prevented and the GER
tainty Of the passage Of the admins
tration railroad bill.
Just what the railroads OF the
northwest expect to accomplish is not
clear. OF course they viii be able to
curtan expenses. but it is too late to
blur Congress into letting the railroad
bill go by the board or to induce the
government to consent to increased
freight rates. It is too bad the COM
mon laborers should be the first to
suffer.

JAPANESE COMPETITION


Observing men returning from the
United States steadily losing trade on
the other side OF the Pacific ocean,
with no prospect Of improved condi-
tons IN the future.
The japanese parliament Is adopt
ing a new tariff bill. the measure al
ready having passed the lower house
This bill provides for an Increase I'm
the duty on wheat -four, wheat, insu-
lated electric wire, tires for locomo-
lives. tenders. etc. while it lowers thu
duty on condensed milk and printing
paper. After the abolition OF the
tariff conventions next year the duties
viii be increased on rails. locomotives
and tenders. condensed milk. sole
leather. paraffin wax. galvanized
sheets. insulated electric wire. passen-
ger cars and many other things to
such an extent that American imports
viii practically be shut out
American exports to japan have
fallen of more than one-half in three
years. The imports from that coun-
try. however. have not decreased. and
now exceed the exports from this
country by 300 per cent.
Representative Mckinley Of Cali
fornia. who made a trip to Japan last
year. tells OF the experience of a
Cleveland. O.. manufacturer. who ex-
ported electric and gaslight fixtures.
and who a couple OF years ago sold
- q TaDareeo two dozen Of his hest
patterns. Now these patterns are be-
ing shipped back to the United States
from Japan in great quantities. and
they undersell the Cleveland manu-
facturer to such an extent that he has
been compelled to close that part of
his business.
Another instance Of the same kind
related by Mr. Mckinley was the case
OF a manufacturer of patent chairs
who sold them 70 japanese makers
who are now sending them back from
japan, underseiiing him, and as the
patent has run out he has had to give
up that part Of his business.
Instead OF lowering the tariff. 70 will
have to be raised I'm order to shut out
goods manufactured I'm the Orient
woriingmen in the United States can
not compete with labor in Japan, Chi
ma and India. which is paid from tc
| 30 cents a day.
The only remedy against this ruin
Gus competition IS the protective tariff
system Of the Republican party.

RETIREMENT OF MOODY.

There is some prospect that there
viii be a full bench when the Supreme
court Of the United states assemblies
for the fall term next October Two
or three weeks ago hints were dropped
that Justice Moody would resign. thus
enabling the President to nominate
his successor before the adjournment
OF Congress.
Justice Moody did not resign. but a
bill has been introduced in the Senate
by Senator Lodge allowing him to re-
tire with fun pay. Justice Moody has
been incapacitated for many months
on account Of IN health. and evidently
his friends do not expect him to fully
recover.
The trust cases are to be reargued
in October. and it is desired that nine
justices sit in the cases. so It is prob
able Mr.. Moody VIII be retired under
a special act OF Congress. the existing
law not being applicable to his case.

WOOL NTPoRTATIoNs.

An enormous amount OF wool is be-
ing imported into the United States at
the present time. The amount i'm
ported last year for clothing purposes
reached 3,SO1.33s pounds. valued at
S31.16S.4S1. or more than double the
imports in 1908. and even so per cent
higher than in 1907. The direct i'm
ports OF this wool from Australia last
year were 35.177.94s pounds. worth
SS.697.451. American buyers partici-
pated in Australasian wool auction
sales to an extent that they had not
hitherto.
American buyers also purchased
several thousand bales Of wool at Ho-
bart IN January. the value Of the pur-
chases being in the vicinity Of $780,
900.
Shipments Of New Zealand wool to
the United States also advanced. ac-
cording to consular invoices. from

The heavy import Of clothing wool
continues in 1910. the value for the
first four months having been S1S.275.-
IT'S. against s15. .s07 in the same
period OF 1908. and s5.627.462 in the
1907 period.
The same story is told when carpet
woods are considered. The importa-
ton OF wool for this purpose last year
amounted to 136.22O.511 pounds.
worth S1s,706.72s. or more than dou-
BILE that imported in 1908. The in
creased importation has continued IN
1910. amounting In the first four
months to S5.2OS.S76 worth. against
1882. O22 in the same period in 1909.
and s1.993.S43 in the 1908 period.
China furnished 100000 worth of
