BACON FROM DENMARK.

1t is interesting if not important to
note that the farmers of Denmark are
investigating the opportunities for mar
keting in the United States their sur
plus bacon and butter.
Whether they will find this profitable
under existing tariff conditions is
doubtful. II is not surprising, how
ever, that the temptation should be
strong for European agriculturists to
invade a market in which prices have
risen with s<yrocket speed within the
past Is years. Surely the invitation is
strong to sell here the meat and dairy
products of lands that are none toe
profitable, since the American farmer
is getting nearly three times as much
for cattle ana hogs and nearly twice
as much for butter and cream as he
did in the early nineties.
1t is too much to hope, however. that
the high cost of living will be reduced
by imports of Danish bacon and but
ter. The European demand for Amer
lean agricultural products is still too
strong to admit of such a result. Two
years ago the exports of provisions,
including meat and dairy products,
amounted in value to about $780, 900. 900,
and the balance of trade in our favor.
after the similar imports had been
deducted, amounted to about $4,000, 900.
So long as a large proportion of the
people of Europe depend upon US for
meat, and while the agricultural areas
devoted to the raising of cattle and
hogs Are being reduced, the house
wife is likely to continue to quarrel
with the butcher over his prices, and
the butcher will continue to quarrel
with the packer because he has limited
the profits of the retailer.

CONGRESSIONAL FoLLIEs.

IL Is not surprising, perhaps, that
the long drawn out session of congress.
adjourning on the eve of presidential
election, should have been character
lied by ineficiency and failure. With
the Democrats in control of the house,
the Republican majority IN the son
ate divided, and the president natural
ly at loggerheads with the radicals of
both parties in each branch of con-
gress, there was a splendid opportun-
ity for the playing of politics.
And playing politics was the princi-
pal business of the session. Much of
the legislation attempted was stamped
Enthusiastically with insincerity. Public
interests were forgotten in the geneI al
scramble to obtain partisan and fac
tional advantage in the coming cleo
ton. Yet the present congress had be-
fore it from the start the duty of ac-
comprising constructive legislation of
a high order. The tariff, the trusts,
the monetary system and conserva-
ton of natural resources demanded
immediate and intelligent tretment.
But congress failed miserably to
meet the requirements laid upon it.
Tariff bills were framed in the Demo-
cratic house and passed, but with the
full knowledge that the president
would not sign them. They were de-
signed primarily to put him in the
hole and thereby increase the chances
for a Democratic national victory in
November. The other great questions
needing their attention were practical
ly ignored. Much of the energy of
the house was devoted, outside of the
political maneuvers over The tariff, to
investigation which 1t was hoped
would provide campaign material, but
which failed to yield results of much
value even from the partisan stand
point.
There have been congresses almost
as bad as this. In the period following
the close of the Civil war there were
times when the house and senate were
at swords points with the presi lent
and when f1Ebustering tactics threat
ened to throttle the government by
Withholding appropriations. But FOR
