panyinsr this extraordinary movement , there
has lieea during the past decade , -which the
preatost increase of such imports has taken
place , a steady decrease in the price of home

concluM'm must he obvious ; namely , that in
the line of products , with the exception of
ocAUm. upon which our farmers chiefly del -
l > end , there has pitnrn up a well niirh ruinous
coini > eUtion in which tbt ? labor of the peasant
of Euroj \ or the miserable fellah ol EsTJ't ,
and of the unfortunate half-starred Indian
ryotvrorldnt : for pautier crapes , norfectintr
all the amenities of life in order that women
and children as well as men may work in tbe
fields. Is pitted npainst that of tbe American
farmer , relying upon bis own and lus son's
labor , or where be employs hired help , pay
ing them a fair rate of wares accord inc to our
American standard , besides jirovidiajr them
with the snine food and shelter as be gives to
his twn family.
Growing a surplus of wheat , that surplus ,
wbose pru-e is forced down by the competi
tion of Hussm and India , regulates the price
of the entire crop. The product of our vast
cornfields , for which a comparatively insigni
ficant foreign demand exists , must be utilized
larjroly by tbo farmer for the raisinc of cattle
and bogs. The foreign market for live cattle
Which exists hi Great Britain is so hampered
by the oppressive regulations requiring
Maurbterat jxjintof landing as. to exercise
little or no beneficial influence on the price of
hi * product , while the obstructive measures
adopted by several of t he continental toun tries
in regard to American pork has rodneed the
esiK > rts of that produce since IsSl over 40
JKT cent , annuallv. Under such drmm-
btanets there can be but one cause asshrnable
for tb neglect of the American farmers to
turn tb < 'ir attention to other crops in the line
of surli agricultural products as TTC now im
port , and that is that in this they would inwt
an even more overwbeming and disastrous
competition than they are now confronted
with , in the raising of cereals and live stock.
Obviocs.lv tbcn , the only course j > ossible to
enlightened stattsmanship , is to assure to the
farmers adequate protection in the drversifi-
catioa of his crops and the production of a

of airrirultural products , the far jrreater pan
of which , amounting probably to cot less than
than two hundred and forty or two hundred
and fifty millions , could , -with proj < er encour
agement , be produced on our own soil. The
establishment of our apricaltcral experiment
stations , the cncrvetic research by tbe department
i
partment of aericTilturo into the resources of
different sections of this country , iuvestiea- I
tioa of their soils and climate- and tbe appli
cation , in goieral , of scientific priniiplcs to
QCTiniHure. all ooznbir/up , make this aj-s-ur-
k once doublv sure , provided always , that this
> . diversification be encourai-ad and fostered
by the application of the principle of protec t
tion U > the development of new industries on
tbe farm. It is simply tbc extension to our
afirirulturo of the protection so beneficially
extended in the past to our manufacturing in
dustries. In tbe days when tbe farmers were
prosperous , when cpoi crops were acv-om-
jjoniud with hijih prices , and the value of ag
ricultural land went up aocordinply. the
farmers to a man , stood by the prinaple of
protection urpcd on behalf cif tbe manufactur
ers , who. burdened then vrith the heavy load
of taxation imposed upon them bv tbe civil
war , were threatened with crave disaster in
the face of European oomjielition. Now in the
face of the severe competition which todny
confronts the farmer in foreign market * ,
duty , fairness , and in the lonprun. self-inter
est demand that we should afford him the
Inajen't.s of a home market for all that he may
be able to produce on our own soil. This in * ,
eludes all the sugar and molasses , all animal
products , .wool , silk , flax and other
fibres , all our broad-Muffs , fruits hay. bops ,
ricv , tobHooo , vegetables and -wines 5 but
many of thi ! > e limps will never , can never be
produced on American soil in competition
with the labor of Eurojxstn nations.espodally
when , us in tbe ca * * of suirar , the industry
abroad has been helped by liberal government
bounties. It is worth while notinjr that the ,
price per pound of the great bulk of the sugar j
Jinporuxl , was at the point of shipment , 2.91 '
cents. It should also be berne in inlnd that ;
while we estimate in our statistics tbe value
of imjiorts at the price in the foreipn port of
shipment , the value of the export is on the
other band estimated at the price at the port
of shipment in our country , so that to the
former must be added , transportation , cpm-
misMoas , exchange and dealers' profitswhich ,
without tbe duty , vvoalil add fully 23 to HOper
cvat jnore to amve at its \-alue at the point

Accompanying this principle ° * protection
to tbe American larmer is that of rurfpnirity ,
which b < mld invarlablv be applied whenever
that of protection is relaxed. If there are
products prewn to better advantage In other
countries , remission of duty on which would
( com to l > e in tbe interest of a large portion of
our { MpaLukin , such remission thouiJ only l > o
i uooorded as tbe result of reciprocal conces-
, skra in tbe way of a rcuiisvkm of duties by
I such other countries on products more rwidi- ;
ly crown Ixre. Manv of tbose countries |
I whicb would l e specially benefited by a remission -
mission of the duty on sugar by our povern-
mont wouW afford an excellent market for
our bread staffs and dairy and meat products
were it not for the high duuus im-
j oed thereon by then ) . So with other pro
ducts , when tlieduty on such products Is low-
emd or removed and the production to our
farmers thus diminished , it should be a * the
price of concessions made to us In tbe tariff of
other countries in favor of our own farm pro
ducts. In this way. and only in IhU waycan
oar farmers be adequately protected , new i
markets thus being thrown open to them for |
those products which thereon most easily and
cheaply produce.
To farmers producing , as do ours , a vast
surplus of agricultural products the question
of foreign markets is aud should bo deeply
intercstlac. Not only do they offer an outlet
for this surplus but if untrammeled by irk
some restrictions nnd uncontrolled by combi
nations such as I have referred to elsewhere ,
they serve as checks upon those who inicht
otherwise succeed in oontroUinc our home
markets. Unfortunately , irksome restric
tions do exist aad especially is this the case
with reference to our live stock industry-
Evidence is not wanting that a demand exKts
in Great Britain for our live stock , and but
for tbe oppressive restrictions imtwsed by the
British povcraairat , and said to be nfacessary
owing to tbc alleged existence of contagious
diseases aroone American cattle , there is lit
tle doubt but a large proportion of oar pro
duct of live cattle would find the s a profita
ble market , thus greatly relieving our home
markets. So with our rpork products , op
pressed by the embargoes placed upon them
bv certain European powers , with the result
of an enormous decrease durinc the past six
years in our exports of bacon and hams : for
whereas these ex-ports in 1S79,1'sSO ana 1SS1
averaged abtrat T5tKM.KK ) pounds , they had
f all en in 1 SSI to less to less than 4 < VOiKia ) , ) , ) ,
and until hist year never exceeded 4'JO , < K > JtDX
The effect of this has naturally been to
greatly restrict competition among purchas
ers , and to seriously depress the price of
our boss Aided as the fanners and cattle
growers must be by supplying them with
authentic statistics as to supply and demand
of their prodncls.much remains for them to do
directly through their own tntellicfnt and i
active co-oi oration directed to an intellireat I
control of the supply. This is a matter j
worthy of the earnest attention of our nu
merous farmers' organizations. On the other
hand- the national government owes it to th < >
farming and cattle-growing community that
no effort shall be spared to secure a removal
of those restrictions upon our live stock and i
meat trade which we know to l > 2 unnecessary |
and therefore feel to be unjust. First of all ,
we must maintain an absolute and efficient
control of cattle diseases and pursue with
tbe utjno > t energy the course which has re-
suited today in the almost complete extirpa
tion from A'meruoa soil of the mo > t dreaded
of all contagious , pleuro-pneumonia. The
energetic application of efficient measures
mu < t effcctnallv stamp out this disease from
its last remaining stronchold , and onoe
banished from American soil it most be kept
out by the most rigid regulations. As to our
meat "products , I can see but one way to ac
complish the desired results , and that is by
tbo enactment of a thoroughly efficient meat
inspection law.
Another duty devolves upon us in connec
tion with our foroirn markets , and that is
a careful study of their wants. It is a stizma
upon American "mrrifulturc that our butter
experts , for instance , should IK rejorUsd as
small in quantity and poor in quality , and
that tbe South American supply should be
larreiy derived from European countries.
Having taken all precautions neees'-ury to
guarantee the immunity of our live-sto-k :
irom disease aiid tbe healtbfulne > s of our
m at product , we must then protect them
from unjust alk-srations on the pan of foreign
oomjietitors and. as not infrequently bapj us.
of foreign governments or tht-ir repre
sentatives. To do this it becomes
necessary tnat we should maintain
'
attached'to some of the American legations
abroad , a properly qualified officer xvprc&cmt-
inp tbe agricultural interest , whose special
duty it shall be to watch over the interests of
American arricu.tar.il products in foreign
markets. 'With the proper co-opratioi on
the part of our consuls and others such an
officer could be of incalculable service ia the
manner indicated , as well as in supplying
valuable information as to the demand exist
ing in foreign countries for such products as
our fanners are able to supply , as to tbe bast
manner of preparing tbe same to meet the
wants of foreign consumers , etc
TAXATION.
It seems to me that our system of taxation
demands improvement in certain direction * .
The cost of supporting the government needs
to t > e most equitably adjusted among the dif
ferent classics of cmr puoplc. At prevail in
many state , the burden of local Uiration
presses heavily upn farm proi ? rty. its very
nature mi-ler-ing it wisily assessable Every
corparation created by the stale aud to whom
spticial privileges are granted either by state ,
county , or iuoorpuraiad village or city , should
bo taxed in propDrtiun to its ear-nines , and in
all ways the principle of taxation should be
to place the burden of inaiutaiuinp the gov
ernment , whether ' taw. municipal or na
tional , uj'sn the luxuries and comforts which
tbe wealthy enjoy , aad to mluce it to a
minimum in it > application , to tbo hardly
earned projwrty of the poor man.
No duubt many more causes could be as
sign cd'for the pivs-entagricalturaldt'pivssioD ,
still less is there any doubt but tbat other
and more efficient remedies than those sug-
gistod might bo fouad , I may say will be
found , to relieve it. I have merely tried to
indicate what seemed to me tbe more imjiort-
ant causes nud to point out such remedies as
& long and solicitous consideration of the sit
uation , and 1 may odd , long familiarity and
sympathy with the hard working , f rural class

I candidly confess that my personal sympa

of caution. Xo possible relief can com * to
them or to the country , DO permanent remedy 1

From Two Special Train * of FIHy
UlRhly I > eeoratcil Cars Will
be Unlo.nilcxl to Control
Nebraska's Harvest ,
"VVUlhim Djering t Co. , manufacturers of
harvesting machinery , at Chicago , have Just
completed one of the largest and most com
plete implement warehouses , corner of Capitol
tel avenue and Eighth street , this city , to be
ferand anywhere in the great wt-st ,
Jt is a brick structure , MxliJO , and for
soliditT end substantiabUity U not surpassed
by any building in the city. The filling in at
the foot of Capitol avenue and the immense
retaining -wall , necessitated by the location
of the building here , cost the firm a small
fortune. But everything now U in lurfect
shape and the building is .good for ages. It
is the most conspicuous feature of that part
of the city , commanding a splendid view of
the Missouri valley , Iwth up and down , with
a long reach of the river hi both ditwUon'i.
Its railroad facilities are excellent , the
Northwestern and Burlington roads both
sidetracking to its very doors. In
front of the building is a commodious platform -
form , of dimensions sufficient to accommodate
many car loads of machinery. On the ground
floor , which is the receiving and shipping de
partment proper , is located the engine with
a fifty horse power boiler , utilized in ojter-
ating the huge elevator. In the boiler room
is ample room for the introduction of a second
boiler , or for doubling the present capacity.
From this department all the car-load ship
ments are made. In a short time another
track will be run under the front platform
and to the west of the warehouse giving
them splendid shipping facilities from both
sides , and place them in a position to handle
no less than twentv cars at their platforms at
one time. The building is heated by steam
and supplied by a mo > t exeiellent system with
hot and cold water , and lighted by pas
throughout. The top floor , a capacious de
partment , will be occupied by George W.
Brown i Co. of Galesburg , lit , with a full
line of agricultural and farming im
plements. The Singer Sewing Machine
Co. will occupv the sixth fioor. and from the
fifth down will be found the grods of Deering
Si Co. ilCKie- The fourth floor is one im
mense -warehouse within itself , and is well
worth the inspection of those interested in
harvesting machinery. Upon the third floor
are the offices and local shipping departments.
The oflie s , and there are nve of them , are
handsomeapiwintod ] , with colossal plate
glass siding upon the interior , and pro
vided with all the modern conveniraeies.
They are neat , roomy and delightful , and fur
nish a fair index to the immense business
transartod by this great finn.
The s oond floor a taken up wholly and ex
clusively as a repair department , where is al
ways kept on hand a comple-te line of repairs
and extra parts for the whole long list of ma
chines with which this " firm has
supplied the west for the last
fiftevn years. The most insignificant
component part of any of their machines ,
so methodical is their arrangement , is forth
coming upm : a moment's notice. The at
taches know in a second just where to lay
their hands u ] n any repair desired. They 1
are therefore in a position to take care of their
customers , both old and new. with more
promptitude and to lietter advantage than ]
any harvester company in the west. It is a
magnifieynt warehouse , aud no mistake. ] i
On Friday afterne > on a gigantic shipment of
IXMringi Co.'s goods will arrive in Omaha , j i
The train that will transport this ponderous I '
freightage will oonsist of two special trains
in one. of twenty-five cars each , running oil
a sptial tirno caiii issued by the Chicago , j i
Burlington & Qaincy. Tbe trains left Chicago - i
cage yesterday morning at G o'clock and will
arrive here Friday afternoon at a : > It will | i
certainly furnish a syK-rtacle well worth lock
ing at. On the rear of cac-h train will lie a | '
display car. attractively decorated , and with '
a full line of Daring machines set up ready i j
for the fic-ld. The work ha bt-ea artistically ! ]
done and will make an interesting
exhibition for the farmers all ,
along the route. The whole train. ,
in fact , is attractively embellished with tiair ( i
and banners and resembles the gaudy display > i
of some traveling show company. The outfit I |
dees not hn.-k in other attractions either , as ; in i
exeiellent band acoompiuies the train from
Chicago to this ty. On arrival here this
train will be run into the pa st-nger yards at
Eighth and Pacific strce-ts. A photographer
will be on the scene and make a series of pic
tures from different juints of the cars and
the'ir displays of machinery. The curs
and allowed to stand for pub- |
lie inspection until late in the evening - ;
ing , when they will be run into the Burlington - ,
lington yards at Eighth street and Capitol ,
avenue , where their new warehouse stands. (
Here they -.vill remain on the tracks in solid :
trains until Saturday afternoia. when they I
will be unloaded and stored ha the different
departments of the warehouse. Composing
this train are thirty-fire cars of the Deering
Jr , steel harvesters and binders , whose per
formances have long since given tMein prece
dence over all competitors , aud fiftt-en car
lo-ids of l/mdiug twiue. At a later day there
will lnj additional trains from Chicago to
Omaha and other jails of Nebraska , laden
with Deerinp'i harvesters , ivapera. mowers
and binding twine. They are now doing an
almost falralo-os basiness in binding twine , all
of which they manufacture themselves , and
are the only harvester company on the glolie
that own aud absolutely control their own
twiue works.
Thus far this season they have sold over
one million pounds of binding twine iu the
state e > f Nebraska alone. But it must not ! >
imagined that this is the ext ait of the Dur
ing ewmpany's operation. On April 13 , over
the Chitsigo i Northwestern , a similar ship
ment was made from Chicago to Min- '
ucjpolU. and on May "l a sjxs I
cial shipment of fifty car loids i
of machines will bo made to Kansas City. '
And agiin , st a lat T date , another trei i
mendons special train will pass through i
Omnha for west Nebraska and Denver , and
without exaggeration the firm exports to ux ? ,
fully two hundred car loads this year in this '
territory alone The growth of the Deleting
works is without a jiarallel among the har
vester establishments of the world. It has
kept pace with the ever increasing popularity
of their machines. Less than thirty years
ago the works consisted of a small two-story
frame building located in an Illinois village.
From the date of their removal to Chicago , " in
IriO ; they have b--en constantly spreading
over a wjJcr area , until now their buildings
and Inmlier yard * embraced in the
plant occupy over fony acres of
ground and constitute the best
equipped establish meut of its kind on
the face of the earth. Throe thousand work-
BI O are employeid and over four thousand
ageets are kept busy selling and distributing
IXvrinp-auH-tiiiKS in ever ; ' civiliied quarter |
of the globe. A very large part of all th I
binders usej in the Unites ! Stat in lis $
were made in the Dwiug works. All citi-
sens inlerestrtl in the city's rapidly aug-
njenting resources as a distributing pDiut of
harvesting machines should not fail to see
Friday's big jucl.il trains.
