pursued, it need not be feared that foreign armor
would find its way to the United States, but Ameri-
can ships could be built 25 per cent cheaper than
at present and the country's naval policy would
not entail such a drain upon the treasury.
The steel industry is not the only one that is ex-
plotting the American people, but it is one of the
greatest offenders. It offers a splendid opportunity
for the strenuous Mr. Roosevelt to demonstrate his
devotion to the sense of justice which he so fre-
quently exalts in his public utterances.

LABOR IN THE CANAL ZONE.
General Davis' letter on the “wages and the dis-
content of employes on the isthmus” is a valuable
publication in view of the large number of Aneri-
can people who anticipate going ther to find work,
and it is to be hoped it will discourage American
laborers from going there at all.
Climatic conditions at Panama are not favorable
for American laborers, and should any considerable
number of them be engaged it will but add to the
expense of the construction of the canal. It is es-
imated_hat the project will cost at least a quarter
of a billion dollars under the most favorable con-
ditions, therefore it behooves the government to
employ labor af the wages current on the Isthmus
and that class of labor which is least subject to the
diseases of the tropics.
14 It has not been decided yet whether-the actual
IWork will be performed by the government or let
। to contractors. There are many reasons for be-
|4ieving that the contract system is preferable. It I
MW Id save the government the certwin embarrass-
j ment of having to relieve the unfortunates who
’ mmight drift to the isthmus should the governmnet
mndertake the work directly. • |

Th. facts as stated are that the export business
of the corporation amounted to 264,000 tons of
steel and steel products In 1903 and to 1.222,000
tons in 1904—an increase of 500 per cent. It
stands to reason thst the corporation would not
Increase Its exports so largely if they were un-
profitable. Indeed, It is further stated that the
value of the corporation's exports in 1904 was
about 3az.000,000, and that $4,000,000 of this was
net profit. That la the profit on the cost value
was about 13 1-3 per cent with this profit real-
ized at the prices obtained In foreign markets.
Surely the corporation could have survived with-
out exacting from American consumers 40 per
cent higher prices than were obtained from foreign
purchasers. We are assured of this by the further
statement that the profits on domestic trade are
about 10 per cent."
This evidently means the profit on actual capital
is about M per cent. It would make the profit
derived from the foreign trade about 44 per cent
an capital. In view of these statements it would

corpovation can eanily afford to supply American

Let the people of Fort Worth be alive to the duty

means much here. It must be remembered that
the Fat fltock Show is national in its scope and
character, and the associations which are encour-

have charge of the show ring and will bring men
of prominence in the business from all parts of
the country. The Fat Stock Show is a big thing.

to the United States Government with-
out cost, and the entire movement is in
the interests of the people. These facts
are not given for the purpose of driving
Senator Platt into submission to the In-
terests of one particular measure. They
are used, simply as an illustration of
how some trusted representatives of th®
people abuse their high positions for
private gain.
There sits the hired man of the ex-
press companies, watchful, alert, trained
to expert manipulation of wires and
men, clothed and protected with the
Toga of the United States Senate, one
of the most august and revered legis-
lative bodies on earth, accepting his high
office from the hands of the people, ac-
cepting a salary from them and sworn
by solemn oath to represent and pro-
tect their interests. "I will oppose the
measure and use all my power against
it because it is contrary to the interests
of the express companies." No matter if
the measures he blocks would save th®
people 93.327.422.38 or a large part of
it every year.
We (the people) pay him a salary of
83,800.08 a year, but the profits of this
thrifty man from the express company
are much heavier, so he boldly operates
and lo! It costs us a pretty penny. his
salary of >5,000.08 plus the trifle of
83.827,422.38.
The newspapers announced a short
time ago that, In an address at Cooper
Union, New York. I proposed to ask
the Supreme Court of the United States
for a restraining order to prevent Sen-
ator Platt from occupying his seat in
the Senate, adding that the speaker
stated "The Court may refuse to grant
such an order, from lack of jurisdiction
over the Senate.” AL was aware of the
provisions of the Constitution at th®
time the address was made; I wanted
the ruling of the Supreme Court to
show the people that they could not
expect any relief from any court, and
also wanted to impress on their minds
the responsibility that rests on th®
U. S. Senate to clean its skirts of such
members, for I only too well know
what powerful hidden political forces
would be brought into play, when the
cover was pulled off and the people .
allowed to have a look in.—(Continued

FARMERS' INSTITUTE.
onley County Becomin, Interentea (m
Hog Culture.
Clarendon, Texas, Feb. 28.— (Spe.
cia)-An enthusiastic meeting of
farmers, ranchmen and merchants took
place at the courthouse in Clarendon
Monday. The meeting was in the na-
ture of the farmers’ institute and was
addressed by several local parties, and
W. F. Sterley, traffic manager of the
Denyer road; J. W. Carson of the
Agricultural and Mechanical college,
and E. Singleton, a prominent live-
stock dealer of McKinney. The latter
is an enthusiast on the subject of hogs
and made an able talk along the live-
stock line, advising farmers and
ranchmen to devote more attention to
hog raising.
Professor Carson’s talk was inter-
esting. He spoke of diversification,
presenting several very good reason*
why too much attention should not bo
given to one thing, especially cotton.
Mr. Sterley still claims cotton as hl®
own particular hobby and, In a manner
which showed he had given the sub-
ject much thought, he attempted to
show Donley county farmers where
they have much th® advantage over
the boll weevil district in cotton pro-
duction. Although somewhat preju-
diced against cotton at present the
gathering was unanimous In onsider-
ii.g Mr. Sterley’s stand as well taken.
Th® three visiting speakers spoke
favorably of the raising of alfalfa in
Donley county, and as a result it is
thought the acreage will at least be
doubled this year. _

so great as to cause a contraction of
the currency, but it was shown that the
small daily sums kept out of circulation
while in transit from the postofflee to
the treasury department coul be easily
balanced by a new issue from the de-
partment of a sufficient sum to cover
that. Then he brought forward a state-
ment that people could not write upon
the money. It was quickly shown that
with the fresh, clean money insured
by the continual reissue, very few bills
would be handled long enough to put
them Into an unwriteable condition.
This is shown by the universally clean
condition of the Bank of England notes
I have been in England every year for
the last 10 years, and have never yet
seen a Bank of England note that could
not be written upon. The Treasurer ab-
solutely ignored the value of clean and
sanitary money, insured by the new
measure. When all his manufactured
objections were made and disposed of
to the satisfaction of the large Com-
mittee of the House of Representatives,
who overruled him, he was finally driven
to the final reason that the .change
would occasion "such a rearrangement
of the clerical work in his Department
that he disliked to undertake it," not-
withstanding the fact that the Auditor
in Chief made it plain that the saving
would be upwards of 8500,000 a year to
the government, in clerk hire and minor
expenditures In the Postoffice Depart-
ment.
The Treasurer was politely reminded
that he was an employe® of the people,
and when they wanted a needed change
made it was his duty to arrange the de-
tails in his office to meet the wants ot

the wage rate on the isthmus would no doubt be
doubled. Private contractors could engage native
labor at low rates and the work of construction
would cost less in many ways than would otherwise
be the case.
The experience of the French company regard-
ing labor ought to be of great value t the United
Btates. No doubt the better sanitary conditions of
the isthmus will make the lot of the laborers bet-
ter than heretofore, nevertheless the people of
the tropical regions are better adapted to the
work than anybody else, and it will be a mistake
to undertake to employ American laborers for
the ordinary work of excavating.
The labor situation on the isthmus demands
common sense treatment at all times, with no pan-
Bering to special Interests of any character. The
main thing is to hasten work on the canal, and the
best way to make haste is to assemble on the isth-
mas a large number of laborers who will not be- *
