THE AMERICAN HOC. -Topeka Capital ; In view of the endeavor of the south- alliance to crowd the hog lard out of the market by the fraudulent "lard .ornpound" made of Texas cottonseed, it At some consolation to the hog breeder to ...'.know that his chances of a market abroad -re brightening. At present the lot of he hog breeder is not favorable. The price of hogs has gradually declined for nearly a year and is now too low to make 4he business profitable, with corn selling from 40 to 43 cents a bushel. It cotton . eed oil "lard" can bo driven out as a competitor of the genuine article, and if -he foreign market caa be opened to the American product, it will require only -the defeat of the pork packing combine sto put the price of hogs where it belongs.

INDIAN DEPREDATION CLAIMS. li a ia ee. A goo. I many people on the Nebraska and Dakota f. ontiers are sending to eViishingtou tin ir claims against the government for losses incurred as a re su t ol the Imli i: outbreak. They are calling f r immediate action upon them, which is not possible until congress shall make provision for their payment. Tlie general government is undoubted ly liable lor every dollar of loss that can be traced to the ac ion of the Iudians. Tiiis statement applies not only to I roperty s'olen snd destroyed by the ruls'-dns, but also to stock that may have been lost as a result of tie panic caused by tlie uprising. The gov eminent must also return to the state money xpended by them in defending their citizens. While this question of liability is clear, the method of enforcing prompt payment is not. Previous claims have Iain in the interior department for years before adjustment. Senator Paddock is endeavoring to secure legislation to pro vide ' for the prompt consideration of such matters. If he succeeds in dt i-cso f before congress adjourns it will be pos sible for nil persons having just claims against the government to get their dues within a short time. In the meantime they can only file their claims and cultivate the virtue c.f patience. A PRACTICAL LESSON ON "WHO PAYS THE TARIFF" Mr. Jerry Heagerty arrived home from C in ad a today " where be bought 1,000 bushels of potatoes for the Oswego market. The average price paid was 40 cents a bushel. The duty upon the po tatoes is 25 cents a bushel snd the freight 15 cents a bushel. The potatoes will re tail for about 85 cents a bushel. Who pays tne duty, tax and freight! The Canadian farmer, Mr. Heagerty, er the consumer? Oswego Palladium. This is indeed a "practical less and no republican can ask for a better one. Potatoes are worth 80 cents or more in Oswego. This is the market place. If the price was any less in Os wego Mr. Heagerty would not be fool enough to go to Canada to buy, but would buy at home. The Canadian must sell to Mr. Heagerty for so low a ptic: that including the duty of 25 cents and the freight of 15 cents, they will cost Mr. Heagerty in Osweeo no more than he can buy for at home. So the Canadian deducts the duty, 25 cents and the freight. 15 cents and sell for the balance of what is left of the price of a bushel of potatoes in Oswego. 13 it not clear that the Canada farmer pays the duty? And if there was no duty the Canada farmer would ship his potatoes to Oswego aud get the full market price in Oswego, less the freight, 15 cents, or 70 cents per bushel, in which case he would save the 25 cents duty for himself, wouldn't hef U there .nybody no dull hec.tn tee that neit'ier the customer nor Mr. Ileagerty wou!d get them iinj cheapcr if there vra no duty, but that the (;n nil in farmer w ould nave the duty an I get ju-it 2-" rent- per bushel more it, cau not hut comprehend One demo tiian h:-now does? S ch -practical bs- rratic senator talks hour after hour to boh" n4 thi-4 are particularly h it is-actory t unpty ln in h. s, ' to kill time; another to republicans and if the Palladium has a few more snch we sli i be ulad to aid in i;iv'"g then, publicity.

Onk of the results of the hdz.ard-iikc lei tion of last November bus been to ive a number of slat' s too much gov ernment. In C necticut there are two governors, in NthrHska three. The leg isiatures of .Mon'ana and Colorado are each engaged l an intense struggle to ascertain "who is who and wliHt is what." The legislature of New Ilainp shire could not organiz until the tupr. in court h:id been called upon to settle queft'ons of disputed law, and the legis latures of South Dakota, Kansas and Illinois are s mixe I in their three sided political c inplexious that theycaiun t agree '-n Unitnl States Senators Tin people are governing tin inselves with a venireiiiice this year ami no mist ike. New York Press. 1HR New lork Iletalil. lrec unite r gii' , reprints tin siateini nt or ti e si.cic- tirv ol the (M.anitier ot Commerce tor that city. The stateun lit shows that the total of tile titv's trade for 1!S90 was greater by $12(1,1 -JO.SOO than for lSS'J. Three months of the "infamous McKin- ley bil " did not work so badly utter all We were told that the "infamous bill1 would destroy our export trade; but the exports of Nev York were greater by $vj,57,4'0 in I;-00 than in lbei). They w re, in f.ict, greater than in uny year of w deli record is made except the year 1SS1. But, as the Herald reports, out of a t.tal commie of 8010,005,000 brought into the poitof New Yoik during iy.0 O ily $07,119 was imported by tinerictiu vessels, against 4"j8.4G0,27S in foreign vessels; aud of exports onlj' 4J,1 04,305 w nt out in American ships, agamtt 527,218,120 in foreign bottoms. The moral is plain, agriculture and manufactures have increased under protection. Our maritime trade has decreased since we withdrew protection .from it. An exchakce has this to sav of I rIv and th 1 pw tariff law- The absurdity of the reports indnstri- ously circulated through BritUh channels in rega-d to the attitude of the govern- ments of Europe toward our newtariff law has been haunilv illustrated bv the la.test advices from Italy, which stands forth in the importance of its trade with the United States of all the nations of Europe. Recently we were gravely in formed that the Italian government was so disph ased with the new law that they would decline to send any exhibits to the Columbian Fair in 1893, and w uld adopt other equally terrible acts of re prisal. It turns out, however, that the gov- ernment Commissions appointed to in I yeetigate and report on the probable ef- I fects of the bill has but recently com- pb ted its task, aud the report shows that I under the new tariff about forty eight I percent of the Italian exports to the Lnited States are admitted free of duty j thirty-six per cent at a reduced duty, I twelve per cent at the old rate, while the duty is increaied on less than tour per I cent. I instead ot lucre being any unfavorable I 1 criticism of the law, it is regarded by I . . . 1 Prime Minister Crispi and the Italian J press as most favorable to increase com merce between the two countries. Thus it has been Bhown that the duties imposed under a protective system miy be revised by protectionists, the free list enlarged, and sundiy duties reduced withat ri. ating the protective principle The policy of reciprocity under certain favorable conditions of rau'nal exchaasre without competition is the logical out- g owth of this broad application of the protective idea and in perfect harmony with its central purpose. The American people are willing that it be judged by its fruits. TARIFF PICTURES.
