Where the Experts" Come IN.

II is n mere political evasion to say
that the country should wait for a

Democratic party did not wait for O
tariff commission to decide that free
trade in sugar would annihilate the
sugar industry OF America. Nor is n
tariff commission needed to ascertain
that the present law is not producing

A Generous Beef Crop.

A Generous Beef Crop.
The cry of beef scarcity" was stilled
some time ago. There is opening now

onstrating the presence of libera-beet

West, northwest and southwest there
has been strong endeavor within the
past few years to increase production
and its effect ia being felt in the mar
kets now and Will henceforth.
| Supplies of cattle at seven chlef
western markets. Chicago, Kansas City,
Omaha. St. Louis. ST. Joseph. Sioux
City and st. Paul. aggregated 5.oS6,56I
head in the first eight months of 1916.
comparing with 4.39o,S65 year ago, an
Increase OF $50 2G2 head and the out
look for fall marketings suggests that
the same pro rata increase will be
maintained to the end of the year.
A tremendous demand has been in
force for this Increased volume of sup
plies and likely will continue as long as
the lighting armies of Europe call upon
America to furnish a great part of their
meat diet.
Il has been the European demand for
the cheaper grades of beef and the high
prices, these have brought, together
with Industrial activity in the United
States which has enabled the American
market to hold on high level thruout
the year. Minus the war demand for
meats and the industrial activity &C.
casioned by Europe'a big purchases OF
other commodities in the country, beef
prices could not have been maintained
on the high level long established.
That the market will continue TO hold
on high level as long as the export
demand is of present big volume is
patent, but with the end Of the war
the European demand is bound TO suf-
fer some recession, and then read
justrent ot beef prices will follow in
this country.
That il will be a severe drop in
American cattle values no one believes,
however. for the reason that Europe
will continue reasonably good buyer
