MEXICO CITY, Nov. l,.-Prcsident nounccment from the national palac" in which he positively states that un- the office of president of Mexico which was conferred upon him hy a vote of the people. He also says that if any attempt is made by the American government to put him out of office by force of arms that he will resist with every available man and gun in Mex leo.
 The president said that he would continue his present course of action in putting down the revolution and that he was of the opinion that the greatest aid which could he given him in accomplishing his task of reunit- ing Mexico would he an invasion hy the United States.
 There is an unconfirmcd rumor hcr2 to the effect that the rebel leader Car ranza has sent a message to Huerta that in case the United States lands troops he. CarranZa. will place himself and his troops -at-the- disposal of the president. provided he is given a , guarantee that he will not he arrested on account of his revolutionary ac- tivitics and that at the conclusion of the war with the United States he be considered as not giving up his claims that Huerta holds his place unlaw- fully.
 President Huerta is considering this proposition and it is thought will be glad to arrange an armistice with the constitutionalists in order to avail himself of the services of their we'll trained army of some ten thousand men. These troops will not be called
 into Mexico City but will be used on
 the border to oppose any American
 force which may invade the country from the north. This constitutionalist

THE CAL Sc FOR
FREE MEATS.

According to a statement issued by
the Department of Commerce there
are now only 56,OOO,OOO cattle on the
farms in the United States,as against
100000 in 1907 In the eight
months ending with February of this
year, as only $1,000 head of cattle
were exported, as compared with
100000 exported in the correspond
ing months of 1907 The quantity of
fresh beef exported was less than
100000 pounds, as compared with
176,OOOO00 pounds six years ago.
The importation Of cattle during the
same period was 12,5OO in 1907, and
100000 in 1913. The value of the
cattle exported was $21,OOO,OOO in
1907, in 1913 it was only 100000, a
falling off of over S2O,OOO,OOO.
And yet, despite This alarming
shortage in our supply of beef cattle,
the Beef Trust is protesting Justify
against any reduction of the tariff on
cattle and beef. The Taft-Aldrich
tariff law imposes a tax of 81 q head
on cattle under one year old, 1915 if
valued at not more than $14 a head,
and if valued at more than $14 q head.
q IL per cent ad valorem. Swine
are taxed $50 a head AMI sheep, one
year old or over, $3.50 a head less
than one year old, IS cents. Fresh
beef, veal, mutton, lamb, p,rk ana
venison are assessed at l 1-2 cents &
pound. Meats of all kinds, prepared
or preserved, not especially provided
for, % per cent I'd valorem. Extract
of meat, 35 cents pound, fluid eX-
tract, Is cents a pound.
1t will be seen at glance that the
Beef Trust was not forgotten when
the minions Of the predatory interests
were distributing tariff fcvors at the
expense of the people. With the IA
pid decline j. the number CT cattle
and the high tariff on all kinds of
meats and in every form, it is not
surprising that there has been a
steady raise in domestic prices. I'm
less the tariff is abolished entirely, the
expectation of lower prices may as
well be abandoned. The American
people should not be at the mercy of
this rapacious trust any longer. Meat
of all kinGs should be put on the free
Democrat.

NO PROCLAMATION
NEEDED.

Former Acknowledgement William
Sheppard Bryan, when asked for his
opinion, empharically declared that
the Seventeenth Amendment TO the
Federal Constitution providing for
the direct election Of u. S. Senators,
does not have to b. proclaimed after
its ratification by the necessary num-
Der of states in order to become cffec-
tive.
Mr.. Bryan thinks that the amend
ment is now in full force and effect
without a doubt, and the proclama-
ton will add nothing to it. He said:
article l of the Federal Constitu-
ton provides that whenever two
thirds of 10th houses of congress
shall deem it necessary, congress
shall propose an amendment to the
constitution which shall be valid to
all intents and purposes when ratified
by the legislatures Of three-fourths
of the several states.
therefore an amendment of the
constitution goes into effect as soon
as three-fourths of the states ratify
it. 1t is not necessary to wait until
it is proclaimed.
"Otherwise the failure of the Off
Gals to proclaim an amendment, from
either negligence or design, would de-
feat or delay the will of the people"
