Time secretary Is justly Inlignant over the foolshness of the Nebraska legislature . which has by the pas- sage of a prohIbitory law doomed one at the moat flourishing and valuable Industries at that state . His argument in the case should he perused over and over again by every farmer and dairyman In the United States . for It conclusIvely demonstr1es that the oleomarlarlne Industry Is every whit as profitable an Industry as the manutacture ot butter. "Durin the last year " Secretary Mortoit states "we exported tram this country - try 118,195,049 pounds . or $ 11.263,010 worth , at oleomargarine to foreign countries , and the year before (893) ( ) $11,831,720 worth , of which 1 considerable portion was furnished hY Ne- Irslm , Germany alone took 2,217,52 pounthu . for which site paId us $2,857 406. At the same time the total exports of butter were only 10.088,152 pounds , valuc at $1,730- 210. In 183 we exported less than 7,0.000 pOIIls at butter , and received for It $1,347- . $1.3H- 712.
