magnificent hotels, number of very

ties of palms, roses and flowers. On
visiting the old cathedral built in 1891

IN THE INTEREST
OF THE FARMERS
Senator Nelson Proposes to
Amend Canadian Pact.
OFFERS LIST OF CHANGES
Would Transfer Certain Products
From the Free List to the
DutiabIe List.

Washington, April 2S.-Important
changes in the pending Canadian
trade agreement are proposed in a
series of amendments offered by Sen
ator Knute Nelson of Minnesota.
These amendments provide that the
following farm products transferred to
the free list by the Canadian bill shall
be assessed customs duties as indi.
Gated:
Cattle less than one year old, 81 per
head; all other cattle valued at $14 or
less, $3.50 per head; when valued at
more than $14, 20 per cent ad valorem.
Swine, 81 per head.
Horses and mules, valued at S150 or
less, $40 per head; when valued at
more than $3.50, 20 per cent ad va
loren.
Sheep, one year old or more, 81 per
head.
All other live animals, 20 per cent
ad yalorem.
Wheat, 1919 cents per bushel; bar.
ley, Is cents per bushel; oats, s cents
per bushel; rye, 6 cents per bushel.
Buckwheat, Z cents per bushel.
Flaxseed, Is cents per bushel.
Potatoes, cents per bushel.
Butter, cents per pound; cheese,
A cents per pound.
All Of these rates constitute reduc-
lions in the figures imposed by the
Payne-Aldrich law.
The amendments indicate the line
of attack that Senator Nelson will
make on the Canadian bill. The adop-
ton of any one of the Nelson amend.
ments, it is held by the administra-
ton leaders, would destroy the Cana
dian agreement.
my purpose in presenting these
amendments is to protect the North
western farmer" said Senator Nelson
"The tariff bars are RACED by this
Canadian bill. Some of the rates
propose constitute 80 per cent cuts on
farm products, enumerated in my
amendments"

GIVE THE EXPOSITION TO NEW
ORLEANS.

We take it for granted that both
Virginia Senators and all ten Con-
gressmen will vote for New Orleans
as the site for the exposition in hon
or of the opening Of the Panama
Canal, and we believe that every
citizen of Virginia is heartily in
favor of the selection of the Cres-
cent City. 1t is the logical spot for
the exposition and has claims on the
government which San Francisco
can not dispute. Besides this, New
Orleans is far more accessible to a
majority of the people of the North,
South and Middle West and the ex-
position, if held there, will be more
largely attended than if held in Cal
iafornia. To holdit in San Francisco
puts the show out of reach of a large
majority of the people, who can not
afford the railroad fare and other
expense involved in a trip to the
Pacific coast. The House Commit
tee on expositions has recommended
New Orleans and when the vote is
taken we hope to see the Louisiana
metropolis carry off the palm. If
the exposition is given to New Or
leans the whole country can count
on fine show.
