Apropos of wj.at is going on in ( ojjgrefcis, C. C. Goodwin of Good win weekly tl.ii,ks that a wireless report !!;. the following would be more j -rotable than many of the dis-yiSj-hit revived daily. i. ii. "Of course, U. S., you will hVji all ti e free tolls chatter that Is ;o4u? oh in your country." V. SS. " Vi'hy should I John?" i. B. "IcaaBe it is so nominated tl.? bofid. Hath net the intent aud p'j.-p-, of the law full relation to the p'r.aKy?. I crave the law." V. B. "My over-sea ships will pay the eame tolls that all nations vill pay on tr.cir ships. Is not that enough? J. B. "You have no over-sea ships to speak of. We have attended to that. While we pay millions in sub sidies and bounties, we pay thous ands to some of your great newspa pers, to point out to your gullible people what a si ame it would be to pay subsidies to American ships to make some rich ship owners money, to make them still richer. "We have played that game suc cessfully for forty-five years, but It has cost us a great deal of money to keep some of your strong newspa pers from telling the truth." U. S. "Has the canal cost you anything?" J. B. "Not a penny." V. S. If it is never paid for, will you be out a dollar?" J. B. "Not one." U. S. Had I not built the canal would you have built it?" J. B. "Not much. The risk I would have held would have been top great." U. S. "Then all your present in terest has been obtained by bluff ing?" J. B. "Please use a less vulgar word? Call it diplomacy" U. S. "What interest have you In my coast shipping?" J. B. "Directly, none. Indirect ly, a vast amount." V. S. "In what way?" I. B. "I will cite one case which you can understand. Did you notice what your consul at Salinas Crus told your newspapers when hi reached California on Tuesday last That the business of the Tehuantepec railroad averaged 2.000,000 ton. an nually, that formerlv it was nearly all from abroad but now it is moit than half from the United States? Well, with tolls on your coast shipp ing suppose one of my ships takes on coal at St. John or Halifax, runs down to one of your posts and takes on a cargo for Tehuantepec, unloads ships the cargo across the 178 miles of road end loads it upon another English steamer for San Francisco. The tolls paid by your ships and the cost ot coal which would be burned in the 1,600 miles extra, the dis tance from Salinas Cruz to Panama, would be more than the transship ment over the railroad. Of course American ships could not do that for the Tehuantepec rail road is English and would of course charge you, a foriegner, more than it would charge home ships for blood lp thicker than water." U. S. "Then your .purpose is to destroy my coast shipping as yoa have my oversea shipping?" J. B. "Do not speak so bluntly, please. Have we not the word of yoi-r president, secretary of state and many learned senators, represen tatives and great newspapers, thai It is not a matter of money but your sacred honor is at stake?" U. S. "Have you any other be nevolent schemes in mind, through which to fleece me. J. B. "Really your vocabulary is more plain than polite. But in the Interest of trade I do not mind in forming you that we are watching with a good deal of interest your proposed treaty with Columbia. If that goes through we have an idea that Columbia will be a great mar itime power within a year. It is not dillicult. ' It is not difficult to lower the cross of St. George from a top mast and run up the flag of Colum bia, if there is no special change of ownership and it is necessary in the interest of trade. Have you not no ticed the unstinted praise which our English press has heaped upon vou for your enterprise in building the canal? Do you want evervthinrr?' Tremendous Meat Shortage. In the last three years our popula tion has Increased by about seven millions, our appetite for meat has grown in proportion and the supply oi cauie, nas as steadily declined To give our present population the same supply as the country enjoyed in laio would require 18,259,000 more meat cattle, sheep and swine than we now have. Putting the comparison on a smaller basis, the Department of Agriculture shows that there are nine less beef cattle, seven less sheep, and three less hogs now for each one hundred persons than there were in 1910. The value of cattle during the same period has increased by $400,000,000. While this, as the Agricultural Depart ment points out, may not mean that farmers or stockraisers are making any more profit, because of increased cost of production, it does reveal an opportunity for every farmer in the country. With the ranges cut into farms, and no more range lands to fall back upon, it is up to every far mer to become a meat producer, or the shortage will be greater and prices higher in the future than now.
