On of the points nude the other
evening by ex-Oovaraor Foraker in his
speech was that the bee silver cry of the
oppositioB is a substitute and in this
country the people are not particularly
favorable to substitutes; the democratic
party, seeing that it was beaten to a
standstill on the tariff question, sought
and improvised a new issue the free
silver question. He then read Senator !
Teller's answer when asked what would
be the effect of the adoption of free
silver coinage upon the return of pros
perity, viz: that it would take some
time to restore complete prosperity, but
that in twenty years the new financial
system would have adjusted itself so
that all who faithfully labored could be
prosperous, and then we will have a
country which will be an example for
all other nations. That Nebraska aud
ience, like people in general, have no
notion of following the ignis fatuus of
free and unrestricted coinage of silver,
16 to 1, through a long night of twenty
years, when they are well aware that
the other Jack olantern of tariff reform
has been the main cause of the night of
three years last past of troubles con
sequent upon a lowering income and an
increasing deficit.
To the success of republicanism along
with the election of McKinley for presi
dent, we should be sure to have con-
ressmen of his way of thinking because,
innosing that a tariff law could be
placed upon the atatute books, the silver
senators will do their worst to cripple
the government in getting money
enough by way of revenue to pay the
expenses of the government. Republi
cans have never sought, tried or even
wished to starve an administration when
in an honest endeavor to conduct the
affairs of government according to a
pledged policy. The Bryanites are dif
ferent The Joursaii believes that their
main effort now is to elect as many con
gressmen of their wsy of thinking as
possible, and, by obstructing good legis
lation, during the next four years, seek
to bring discredit to the administration
of McKinley, and ride into power four
years from now. Let us elect republi
can congressmen to support McKinley
and then the whole scheme will fall to
the ground. Vote for Ross Hammond.
The republican party has not been,
and is not now, opposed to the use of
silver money, as its record abundantly
shows. It has done all that could be
done for its increased use with safety
and honor to the United States, acting
apart from other governments. There
are those who think that it has already
gone beyond the limit of financial pru
dence. Surely we can go no farther,
and we must not permit false lights to
lure us across the danger line. Will
iam McKinley.
With McKinley and' Protec
tion we shall have more employ
ment, more work, and more
r
ivages.

A Tale of Two Nations With a Local
Application.
WHE1E IB THE IEBSASEA STEER?
aff the Cattla Iadaatry The
Geta Um Flat of the Weat-
arn Cattla Market.
- The story has not heretofore been told
of the passing of the cattle-raising indus
try in Nebraska and the west. Yet it is a
story that interests every farmer, every
stock-raiser and every feeder. It is a true
story, and the telling of It could be made
to fill volumes. It Is a talc of two nations,
and whatever thrilling there may be about
It relates to the migrations of the Mexican
steer in the United State.
It Is now two years and a few weeks
since the first shipments of Mexican cattle
to the United States, under the benevolent
provislonj of the Wilson bill, crossed the
border lato Texas and sought a market in
Taufnj City, Omaha and Chicago. Since
that time many hundreds of thousands of
cattle from Mexico have come into the
United States and entered into competi
tion with our western cattle, the effect be
ing a great diminution of the number ot
cattle between the Missouri river and the
Rocky mountains and a very considerable
lowering of the price of beef products.
It will readily be remembered that un
der the provisions of the McKinley law a
specific tax of 110 per head was laid upon
settle importations to the United States.
This tax really placed a prohibition on
oattle importations, and by protecting the
home cattle-raiser enabled him to control
the home market and sell his beef on the
hoof at a profitable price. It will also be
iust ss readily remembered that when the
Wilson bill went into effect, August 27,
lWi, it changed the tariff from flu per
head, spedac, to 90 per cent, ad valorem.
This SO per cent on the appraised valua
tion Is virtually no bar at all, affords no
protection to the native industry, and
amounts to nothing as a revenue pro
ducer, because the average valuation is
abeutsV.au ahead and the tax would be
but CO cents on that valuation. This
jrlags a Mexican steer over the line for 13,
to use round numbers. This is a brief
statement of fact.

The returns of the county assessors of
the state of Nebraska, made to the audi
tor of the state, tell another interesting
story. They show that la 1894, previous
to the passage of the Wilson bill, there
wars in Nebraska and assessed for pur
poses of state revenue, 1,880,378 head of
cattle. Their total valuation was 5,117.
SK). The average, valuation upon which
taxes were paid was $3.96, virtually 4 per
head. And this Is f 1 more than the aver
age value of Mexican cattle upon the mar
ket after they have been admitted to the
United States and the tariff has been
paid.
The returns of the assessors In 1806
showed a reduced total of 1,008,897, valued
at ti,las,7M. or aa average of 1387 per
head. The loss shown In 1885, ss com
pared with 1804, to 238,481 head. The loss
in dollars of assessed valuation was 1084,
408, with a loss on the average valuation
of 9 cents per head. This loss wss not
only to farmers and cattle raisers as
sources of wealth, but wss also a loss to
the state for purposes of taxation and de
riving reranae.
Before passing to the assessors' returns
far 180B It Is fair to say that there was con
sMecaalelosstothe state lathe number
of settle caused by the drouth of 1804; but
that will only partially account for the
lose, ssst a very considerable portion of it
must he attributed to the workings of the
Wilson bill. There was a fairly good crop

tasir cattle the year previous began to in
erssss their herds again. Indeed, from
Wat to lam these should aothave been
any further low, because the impoverished

Mr. Cheeseman certainly had reason to
be pleased with a net profit of nearly fill

he Is undoubtedly milking the markets of

Mexico.
On October 88, 1804, only three days
after this shipment was received at Chi

Just a3 well then to the markets of Iowa,

quoted above and the extract from the
Drovers' Journal and ex-President Harri
son were used in the Sixth congressional
district in this etate two years ago, but
the evil was then so new that the farmers
of that section could not be aroused to a
realization of Its magnitude. It affects
now the entire state and all of the Missis
sippi and Missouri valley states, and Is
really one of the most Important ques

Aa Interview With a Mexican Cattla Im
porter. Men who are In the business of import
ing Mexican cattle to the United States
are not very communicative when asked
for information and for this rea-on it has
been difficult to get at the Inside of the
business as at present conducted or to
learn from a person competent to make a
statement just what the effect of Mexican
Importations has been Such a person
was found, however, who ha been en
gaged in the business for two years, has
been in the cattle bu4ness all his life and
whose patriotism is In excess of his love
of gain at the expense of the cattle rais
ers and in antagonism to the best Interests
of his state. This gentleman gives many
important facts, the only stipulation be
ing that his name should not be used.
The gentleman giving this information,
who Is a prominent man and well known j
to thousands of people in MebrasKa, states
that during the nine months ending
September 1, 1890, 315,000 head of Mexican
cattle were brought over tho line into the
United States. Of this number, he says
that about thirty thousand head have
gone into western Nebraska and that not
less than fifteen thousand have replaced
Nebraska grown cattle.
There are many buyers in western Ne
braska and eastern Wyoming. They do
but little shipping by rail The plan is t o
buy large be: ds and bring them over the
old Texas trail. The-e herds start over
land about April 1 and it will be notice:!
that they get into Nebraska after the an
nual assessment has been taken and are
disposed of before the next one comes
around. Sixty to seventy-five days are
sufficient for the trip. The cattle are per
mitted to drift through, the cows drop
ping their young in transit, and bringing
them through without loss. Five thous
and Is a small herd. There are many
herds ranging from 5,000 to 15,000, but a
herd of 7,500 is about the average. They
graze all the way through and fatten as
they travel, the only expense of transpor
tation being the pay of herders, which
will average about 25 cents per head. No
feeding of grain is required after they
reach the north, and indeed they cannot
be fed on grain until they have been here
a year.
If shipment was -made by rail the cost
would be in the neighborhood of 83 per
head.
The average value on the Mexican side
Is 82.50 per head for steers weighing eight
to nine hundred pounds and for cows of
corresponding weight. The tariff being
but 50 cents on that valuation makes the
net price to the buyer 93 per head. A
western stockman has an offer to lay
down this grade of cattle by the carload
at a net cost of $S per head, at a point 300
miles inland in Nebraska. Can any Ne
braska fanne- compete with the Mexican
cattle raiser with this enormous disad
vantage staring him in the facer Cer
tainly not, any more than he can compete
with the cheap wheat of Argentine and
India.
Ball shipments to American markets
are principally to Chicago and Kansas
City, and the stock yards at the latter
Eilnt are filled nearly all the while with
exlcan cattle. This product Is used
largely by packers and goes Into cans to
compete with native beef. The meat is
not so good, but when it is once In the
can the consumer Is none the wiser. The
effect has been, says our informant, to re
duce the price of cows and common beef
cattle in Nebtaska from an average ot
about $25 a head to an average of about
8 17, entailing an average loss of about 18
per head. Considering the fact that there
are enough cattle grazing in Mexico on
the perpetual summer ranges to supply
the markets of the United States, it would
appear to be only a question of time when
the cattle industry in this country will be
entirely destroyed.
It is estimated that at least twenty-five
thousand "feeders" have been consumers
of Nebraska corn every year until the
Mexican importations commenced. The
cost of fattening nas been S3 to fi5 oer
head. Under the new condition of things
this is principally lost. Feedintr yards
have in the past maintained a good local
market for corn In many localities, and It
has usually been the custom to paya little
more than the local market quotations for
com for feeding purposes. Mexican cattle
will not eat corn, hence there Is no hope
for building up feeding yards with Mex
ican importations.- They are kept princi
pally on the ranges until ready for
slaughter, and the cost of maintenance
meantime Is but a trifle.
Another serious lossto the farmer and
the stock raiser is la the hog. Two or
three thousand hogs can be fattened with
out additional expense for feed In the
yards where one thousand head of cattle
are being fattened, and the demoralization
of our feeding Industry euts oft In this
manner another very great item of profit
and source oc weaitn.
ItUnotgeiiarallyknown. butls never
theless true, that tbe western army posts
aad Indian agencies are supplied from
these Mexican herds, and the contractors
for beef supplies aretheprincipalpersons
now engaged In that business. Thus the
Nebraskafarmer enters into' sharp com
petition in the Chicago and Kansas City
starkest, where aa immense product is
need by the packers, aad again on the
west In supplying beef directly to eoasunv
ars for whom the government Is the pro
vider. These cattle are not shipped to market
as Mexicans, nor are they known as such,
but appear la yis market reports at Tfx-
The cattle industry In Texas has
also receivea a severe mow, ana com
plaints are very loud upon the Texas oat
tle ranees.

A wealthy dtlsen ot Lincoln la fitting
up alargs ranch or hacienda la Mexico.
He eees an opportunity there for investing
the capital that he has accumulated la
this state in farming and oattle raising,
because Mexico furnishes cheap lands,
cheap labor and a desirable climate, while
the United States suppliet the market for
cattle at enormous profits. Uaele Sam
furnishes the market "for a song," and
even slags the song hinvJf- Lands worth
25 to SCO an acre In the United States are
offset against lands cq .ally good In Mex
ico, producing two crops a year, for fl per
acre in Mexican money, or 58 cents in
American coin. The Lincoln gentleman
referred to, writing over his ownsigna
tare, says: "THE ONLY BELIEF TO
THE FARMERS OF THIS COUNTRY
WILL COME THROUGH PROTEC
TION." That this Is trua of our cat
tla industry there Is not a particle ot
doubt, and It is of the cattle Industry
alone that this article is intended to treat.
Haama ohsMvatlaaa Mad In raxaa.
A resident of the Republican valley In
Nebraska, who spent considerable time In
Texss two yean ago, before aad after the
Wilson bill went Into effect, had his atten
tion drawn to this matter very sharply
through frequent association with oattht
men and familiarity with tae cattle
ranges. The Texas cattle-raiser, who has
a deemed advantage over the northern
farmer in cattle raising, declared that he
could not compete with the Mexican, with
the change to a 20 per cent tariff, owing to
the great difference in cost of raising in
favor of the Mexican. It was considered
in Mexico that there was a good profit la
a steer when sold on a basis of f 1 for each
year of its growth. That is, fl for a year
ling, f2 for a two-year-old, and S3 for a
three-year-old. It seems unreasonable to
suppose that a steer could be sold accord
ing to such a scale of prices, but the Mex-1
lean can do it and be good money ahead.
The small farmer in Mexico could not do
it, of course but farming in Mexico Is
conducted by wealthy men and the raising
of cattle is carried on by owners of Im
mense herds.
The cattle-raisers of Texas have tens
and tens of thousands of acres of grazing
land under fence at great cost. The land
has a cash value and demands a rental in
American money that would buy nearly
two acres of land In Mexico. They also
maintain large establishments, pay their
herders good wages, and consequently
were not prepared for the competition that
was thrust upon them by the Wilson bill.
There are government contractors in
Texas as well as in tho northwest, who
have large contracts, to supply the tribes
In the Indian country, and these contract
ors were the very first to buy their beef
cattle on the Mexican side and leave the
Texas cattle-raiser to bold tha sack.
So there has been a great loss to the cat
tle Industry in Texas and the complaints
from that state, all of which are justifia
ble, are both long and loud.
Robert P. Farter oa Cattla Iaapartatlaaa.
The distinguished statistician, Robert
P. Porter, compiler of the census of 1800,
In an article printed since the above was
written, and printed in the Omaha Bee on
Sunday, September 13, goes into this mat
ter of cattle importation at considerable
length. Briefly summarized, we find:
First, that under the McKinley law the
tariff was S3 on cattle one year old or less
and 810 on cattle over one year old. Sec
ond, that under the Wilson bill the duty
was changed to 29 per cent ad valorem,
which opens the way for "fraudulent In
voices and undervaluation." On this head
Mr. Porter states that Mexico might, for
instance, send in cattle and value them at
88 per head, duty 40 cents; Argentine at
S3 per head, duty 60 cents; or Canada SS
per head, duty SI. Tho following table
shows the Importations for six years, the
year 1805 being the first full year under
tne wiison mil:

These cattle sold in the United States at
an average price of $15 per bead, giving
the foreign shippers a net profit of about
83,500,000. It is further shown that these
cattle were imported under an average
appraisement of $3 54 per head. Both of
these statements, as to average price of
815 and average valuation of t2.54, sustain
the statements of our informant under
the heading, "An Inteiview With a Mex
ican Cattle Importer," and the compari
son will bo found particularly valuable
and interesting to the person seeking
light.
Again Mr. Porter shows that our ex
ports have fallen from 394,836 head In 1893,
874,679 in 1891 and 394.007 In 1892, to 289,350
in 1895. a loss of overone hundred thous
and in tha: year, under the operation of
the Wilson bill, and a net shrinkage in
valuo ot about ten million dollars. Mean
time, between 1892 and 1896, the number
of cattle in tho United States had de
creased 5,000,000 head, or from 37,000,000 In
in 1892 to 32,000,000 in 1890.
Mr Porter sums up his conclusion in
these words: "Thus is the withering
effect of the dead hand of democracy felt
in both agricultural and industrial en
deavor, and in no industry is the lesson so
clear as in the cattle and hide trade. I
have shown that this legislation Intro
duced uncertainty where certainty ex
isted; it brought about undervaluation
and instigated fraud; it Increased Impor
tation to a point where it no longer be
came profitable for American farmers to
raise cattle; it reduced our herds at home
5.000.000 head; it decreased our exporta
tion 100,000 head, making a loss of $0,000,
000 to the cattle raiser; and lastly It
brought about a depreciation of $60,000.-
000. And for what? That Wilson and
Bryan and a few other visionaries might
try an experiment. That an 'object les
son' might be given the people. If there
Is any other reason It Is not apparent, for
the changes were as absolutely senseless
as they have proved disastrous.
What Should tha Nebraska farmer Def
It ought not to be necessary to ask this
question. There is but one thing to do,
and that one thing lato vote for Repub
lican candidates for congress, who will
when elected assist In placing a tariff on
cattle importations that will again give the
farmers of this country the control of the
American live stock markets.
In no one respect has the farmer lost so
much as In this one industry, and his loss
will soon run beyond computation If the
evil to permitted to continue. He Is as
sailed on all sides by the chesp farm labor
of other countries, who can sell to him on
his own doorstep chesper than his 'own"
cost of production. He cannot go out of
business. He must live. Self-preservation
la the first law of nature. He has
learned that there Is such a thing as a pro
tective tariff that protects, and it is dawn
ing upon him that in no one particular Is
this so true as in its application to the cat
tle industry.
The facts here presented are given to the
farmers of Nebraska for their careful con
sideration. They have not been over
stated. It has been the intention to pre
sent them in a thoroughly conservative
manner. A great deal more than has
been said could be written and printed
upon the subject, but it has been the ob
ject to present It ss briefly as possible
covering the essential points, so that It
could be quickly read ana be perfectly un
derstood. Having been read and consid
ered, the farmers of Nebraska will cer
tainly see It to their interest to vote for
William McKinley. America's greatest
exponent of the beneficent policy of pro
tecting the producer as well as the laborer
and the manufacturer, and for the candi
dates for congress who will cooperate
with him in placing again on our national
statute books a tariff law that will re
store the country's prosperity on the farm
as well as In the factory, and among the
nation's laborers of every kind aad de
