farmer who establishes them.' A plow costs
ti Mexican money In our markats, a single
olsk pluw costs $100 and even more a
binder cannot be bouphl for less than 500,
a thresher with traction engine ccsts at
least W.0"0, and a steam plow has cost aa
much aa $3u,lw0. You will therefore un
derstand that the want of agricultural Im
plement factories In the eountry puts these
desirable utensils beyond the reaeh of the
mall farmer and renders It difficult for
him to entirely set aside the antiquated
Implements, wltlch, unfortunately, are -still
Indispensably lAjcessary to the poor man,
and, in view of their low. price, attract the
Itentlrn of some rich men. -
In treating of the agricultural wealth of
Mexico country, which forma - the subject
of this paper, I think ll is desirable t
begin with certain historical antecedai.ts of
Its national life. During the colonial period
the Mexican territory was governed by
legislatures anil laws whose foundations
rested on conquest; that is to say, that
they still felt the evil effects of the force
of arms by which the country had been
acquired. It was for this reason that agri
culture, which only prospers when a true
and well meditated conception of political
economy haa been formed, was reUgated
to certain places, and did not stand for that
which pertains to ft amongst nations that
are considered civilized. In forming part
of these nations, Mexico has folhmed toe
practice advised by science.
Nevertheless we must not forget ' that
from the primitive Roman piow to tne
wooden stick and other agricultural imple
ments of ancient times, these antiquated
methods were perpetuated In new opaln,
and with them, the lamentable conse
quences to which they gave rise, witn re
spect tj ail advancements in the cultivation
of the sol). The soil wap - unquestionably
fertile; the crops were scarce, and thougn
the products were necessary, tne methods
of acquiring ne same were abandoned,
and If all this appeared SitUfaclu. y, the
men of those days did not take thought
of tho serious evils of the methods they
followed, and by which they transmitted
from one generation to another m.-thods
that were In every way vicious and btenind
the age.
Evolution of PoltlcaJ Ideas.
Senor Ooroipe then cited the evolution
of political Idea as an element of progress
In the gaining of national independence.
Then on to the intameclne struggles which
made the peasant warlike he found the
cause that produced, the effect of leaving
agriculture without labor and to this evil,
though transitory, he. added the general
prostration of the young republic. Against
unfavorable conditions Mexico had to pro
ceed with agricultural development and it
finally emancipated itself from these bonds
by the importation of foreign labor.
The speaker added:
Everything new which implies ' an ad
vance In the methods for woraLng the soil,
have gradually come to find an open door
among us, from the methods of distribut
ing and utilising the .energies of the
laborer, of developing his intelligence, of
utilising his talents and remunerating his
work, to the substitution of modern meiu.
ods for the antiquated and obao.eie. Cuem
istry, mercantile calculations app ted to tne
management, and scientma observations
are luday held to the indispensable parts
of the educstion of the agriculturists. It
Is not only foreign influence which has in
troduced these improvements Into the re
public; a good, nuinbvr.ot young and tal
ented Mexicans are educating themselves
to the complicated scientific stutiy of the
soil, In coin. ectum with the biological de
tails of the vegetable kingdom. -
The agricultural school, which is ' at
tended by a considerable group of students,

tions whlcn have bean established la de
sirable regions of the country, in prepar
ing the staff of professors.: who later on

a fact that many Corn show visitors think

there, too, as large as watermelons and

Mitchell on Trade Agreements.
John Mitchell, fo,mtr president of the
United Mine Workers of America, spoke
as chairman of the trade agreement de
partment. He said in part:
It is a waste of time to deplore the
passing of the individual relationship be
tween employer and workman which ex
isted under the .old order of production. The
organizat.on of labor and tne combination
of capital is the natural and logical se
quence of cruel, wasteful and ruinous com
petition. "The proposition,, stated candidly and
without equivocation, Is: 8hall these ' two
powerful forces, each indispensible to the
other, wage contiguous- and uestructlve
warfare, or shall they . recognise each
other's existence and adopt measures which
will Insure 'on an equitable bat.ls Industrial
peace and, commercial prosperity, at tha
same time affording to the general publics
protection and Insurance against the dis
comforts, the cost and the Inconvenience
which accompany Industrial strife.
Trade agreement Is an unmistakable
recognition of the Interdependence of labot
and capital; It is the concrete expression
of co-operative .effort between these two
dominant factors in our industrial life.
It Is an acknowledgement of the rights
and obligations of the workmen and the
rights and obligations of the employer; its
formulation gives the workman a knowl
edge of the employer's business and It
gives the employer a knowledge of the
I workman's needs and wants, which it is
i essential that each should have, in fairly
: determining all questions of wages and
conditions el employment. Altogether, tha
conference which, leads up to the consum
mation of a trade agreement opens the
way for dlssioatine manv falBe lmm-es-
Blon. ami 'cleastfgr-trp' m'lsundenstandlngs
which of . themselves . frequently lead to
serious consequences.
The trade agreement Is In substance and
effect the antithesis of the strike and the
lockout. It will not, of course, prevent all
strikes or obviate all lockouts, but in the
past it has reduced and In the future It
will to a greater extont reduce the num
ber of industrial . disputes and minimize
their Intensity.
James O'CVmnell Sneaks.
James O Connell, president of the Inter
national Association of Machinists, in dis
cussing "Trade Agreements'' said re osnl
tlon of the union had become the root prin
ciple of every trade union.
"It is short-sighted policy, illogical an4
unfair," he said, "when capital denies to
labor the rights that It ungrudgingly con-
codes to every other factor In Its employ
ment. 'The International Association of aMchln-
Ists has been particularly successful in
mak'ng r-gr ements with rallr ads and o.her
corporations. It has been fund that these
agreements have- been helpful in many
ways, but principally In creatii g a friendly
feeling and a mutual respect between the
two parties to the agreemu.it, working con
ditions have been Improved wonderfully,
while an esprit de corps has been developvd
which has done mich to create splendid
efficiency and excellency of service.
"I look forward with pleasure to the day
when employers will, without any hesita
tion or fear of results, contract by agieu
ment for their labor 'with the same spirit
of fairness and justice as their other con
tracts are now made.1 This, in my opl Ion,
will do more to prevent str kes and lock
outs, boycotting and blacklisting than any
other force at our cammond today."
Printers' Contracts Ilnve Good Effect. !
James M. Lynch; s cak'ng cm "The Trade
Agreement in. the Interna. lnnal Typograph
ical Union," said the principle had been In
effect since 1876. In 1898, he said, the writ
ten agreement became fashionable instead
of the verbal kind, the growth belrg shown
by the returns of the last year during
which 4.177 contracts were approved.
Mr. Lynch next spoke of the revolution
that his branch of the printing trade un
derwent from 1890 to 19 0 through the creat
ing of new conditions in tho composing
rooms as a result of the introduction of the
typesetting machines.
This with the quits general adoption of
the written trade agreement made it neces
sary to prov.de for some method of deter
mining disputes that might arise. Sund.ng
commltues, represent ng emp oyer r.nd em
ployed were provided for and where they
coultf not settle disputes such questions
were referred to a board of arbitration.
'To my mind," ha said, "there Is no
question of the great value of the trade
agreement In establishing stable cond t urn
In any industry. I know that It has ac
complished this in qur branch of the print
ing Industry, and our example In support
ing and formulating such agree , etjts has
been followed by the other four Interna
tional unions In the prlnt.ng Industry."

FORAliER JIAS NEW BILL
Senator Proposes to Create New Court
to Try Brownsville Cases.
SPECIAL MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT
Executive Sends Record of Investiga
tion and Suggests Men Be Allowed
to Re-enlist Under Certain.
Conditions.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Senator For
aker today introduced an amendment to
the bill providing for the re-enlistment of
the negro troops discharged without honor
because of alleged participation In the af
fray at Brownsville, Tex., and addressed
the senate concerning the amendment. He
proposes In his new measure to establish a
tribunal, consisting of retired army officers,
naming these officers in the bill, before
whom evidence may be submitted aa to
the guilt of defendenta and before whom the
defendants themselves might appear to
answer to charges. Tha measure la so
drawn as practically to take out of the
hands of the executive, and give to a
tribunal appointed by congress, full author
ity to consider- the Brownsville question,
and by its findings provide for the re-en-llstment
of the discharged negroes.
In addressing the senate Mr. Foraker
said it was an elementary proposition in
American law that the accused may have
an opportunity to confront the accuser, and
to appear in person and answer evldenco
with evidence. He said that he had not ex
pected It would b!e necessary to enter upon
a new lnvestgation of the Brownsville
question, but that during the summer let
ters .had been coming .to him fromhe
discharged negro - soldiers, declaring that
detectives were constantly engaging them in
conversation. "These men,"' said Senator
Foraker, "are not secret service detectives,
of course, fo they would have no right un
der the law to engage In such service."
Says Detectives Are Active.
Continuing, the senator spoke of the ac
tivities of the detectives as outlined by his
correspondents, saying that In many cases
they went so far as to take up their dwell
ing with the discharged soldiers for the
purpose of securing the confidence and
spying upon their movements. The senator
read extracts from the letters, a . large
batch of which he had In his hands as he
spoke. One of the soldiers wrote to Senator
Foraker that he was questioned by a de
tective in respect to any letters he might
have received from the senator. "There
seems to be a good deal of interest about
my correspondence." added Mr. Foraker.
Upon the conclusion of Mr: Foraker's
remarks Mr. Culberson moved that the
president's message on the Brownsville af
fair be read, and Vice President Fairbanks
directed that that be done, all the senators
present remaining In their seats and listen
ing attentively.
The clerk then read all of the state
ments and other evidence submitted to the
War department, for which the president's
message was merely a letter of transmit
tal. This In contrary to the usual custom.
Ordinarily the general reports are sent to
the proper committee without the formality
of reading. In view of the fact that the
report contains what purports to be a par
tial confesslnn of giillt by one of the dis
charged negro sr Idlers, much Interest was
shown In the reading.
Message ef the President.
"To the Senate: I Incloee herewith a
letter from the sccrelary of war transmu
ting a report of the Investigation made by
Mr., Herbert J. Browne, employed by the
department In conjunction with Capt in
W. G. Baldwin to Investigate as far as
possible what happened at Brownsville on
August 13 and 14, 1Kj6. The report and doc
uments contain some Information of great
value and sumo statements that are ob
viously worthless, but I submit them In
their entirety.
"This report enables us to fix with tol
erable def.nlteness at least some of the
criminals who tool; the lead In the mur
derous shooting of prlvste cl, liens at
Brownsville. It estublls es clearly .he fact
that the colored soldiers did the shooting,
but upon this point further record was un
necessary, as the fact that the colored sol
diers did the shooting has already boon
established beyond all possibility of doubt.
The Investigation lias i:ot gne far enough
to enable us to determine all the fuels,
and we will proceed with It, but it has guno
tar enough to de.e.mtne with su.f cle.it ac
curacy certain tac.s of enough importance
to make it advisable that I place the report
before yo-i. It appears that jilmost all the
members of Company B must have been
actively concerned In the shooting, either
to tho extent ot being participants or to
the extent of virtually encouraging those
who were participants. ,
"As to Compan.es C and D, there can be
no question that practically every man in 1
them must have had knowledge that the
shooting was done by some of tte soldiers
of B troop, and possibly by one or two
others In one of the other troops. This
concealment was itself a grave offense,
which was greatly aggravated by their
tesUylng before the senate committee that
they were ignorant of what they must have
known.. Nevertheless, it Is to bo said In
partial extenuation that they were prob
ably cowed by threats, made by the more
desperate of the men who had actually
been engaged In the shooting, as to what
would happen to any man who failed to pro
tect the wrongdoers. Moreover, there ars
circumstances tending to show that these
misguided men were enooursgod by outsid
ers to persist In their course of conceal
ment and denial.
"I feel, therefore, that the guilt of the

pened, give all the aid they can to fix tho
responsibility upon those who are really
guilty, and show that they themselves had
no guilty knowledge beforehand and were
in no way Implicated In the affair, save
by having knowledge of It afterward and
fall'ng and refusing to divulge It.
"Under the circumstances, and In view
of the length of , time they have been out
of the service, and their loss of the benefit
that would have accrued to them by con
tinuous long-time service, we can afford to
treat the men who meet the requirements
given above as having been sufficiently
punished1 by the consequences they brought
npon themselves when they rendered neces
sary the exerclso of the disciplinary power.
I recommend that a law be passed allowing
the secretary of war, within a fixed period
of time, say a year, to reinstate any ot
these soldiers whom he, after careful ex
amination, finds to have been Innocent and
whom he finds to have done all In his power
to help bring to Justice the guilty.

Which
Rival
Nature's
In almost every letter of appreciation wo
receive from our patients who are wearing
and enjoying Alveolar Teeth, are these
words, "I can't tell them (the Alveolar
Teeth) from my natural teeth."
That is the highest compliment they could
pay us. Nature' is the master craftsman,
and if ite hiiroAns can come anywhere near
matching her In her handiwork, we deserve
to be praised.
The Alveolar me'hpd of supplying missing
teeth does away witn the partial plate and
tha ordinary bridge ,work as practiced .by
the dental profession's a whole. ,
It is a newer, better and more natural
plan, enabling tha wearer to chew his food,
and thoroughly prepare It for the stomach.
There Is no substitute for this original
and only method, practiced exclusively by
us.
There are.' imitations ' without number,
but any and all of them come no nearei
the original than plated ware to genuine
silver or gold.
Dont be inveigled info taking a sub
stitute, for there is ho substitute that can
takes the place of the genuine, original
Alveolar method to be found exclusively
In one of our offices. Better stick to the
partial plate until you can come and eee us.
When the Alveolars Teeth are In place
your teeth trouble are at an end. They
are backed by our guarantee.
If you have two or more teeth left In
either Jaw. we can supply all the rest
without pain' and without much time In
the chair.
The services of our' examining dentists
are at your disposal, and there la no ob
ligation attached to this examination.
You will be the one to decide.
Don't think you must tiave the 'work
done simply because -you have come In to
have an Investigation made.
Booklet sent free.
But be sure -you are in the right of
fices. DR. C. R. L. MURPHY
BIO N. Y. Ufa Bldg., Omaha.
NOTE Make a note of our name and
addresses to be on the safe side.
There are imitators abroad who make
false claims.
