A TARIFF BILL FOR REVENUE

was yesterday reported by the indefatigable Com
mittce of Ways and Means Of the House of Re-
representatives.; and now, if we may speak figura-
lively of the business of the session. all the irons
are in the fire. We wish that none of them NAV

cents per pound. a duty of five per cent, advalo-
rem.
On the same article of the value of eight cents

valorem, except carpeting, blankets, and some
other articles, on which special ad valorom duties
are proposed.
On cotton manufactured, three cents per
pound.
On all manufactures of cotton not otherwise
specified, thirty per centum advalorem.
On all articles Of silk, according to their char
actcr thirty-fve per cent.
On manufactured hemp, forty dollars per

ty cents, fifteen CENTS ten cents, down to Bo-
hea, on which duty Of three cents only is pro-
posed.

After going through long enumeration of
specific duties, duty Of twenty per contum ad
valorem upon all remaining articles.
An additional duty of ten per cent on all ar
ticles imported in foreign vessels in cases where
a specific discrimination is not made in the
bill.
All duties hereafter to DO paid in cash

the Land Distribution Act which srrspends the
operations Of that act in the event of any duty
being laid by Congress of higher rate than
twenty per centum ad valorem.

THE TARIFF,

The public Lands-The President We havo
heard the apprehension repeatedly expressed; that
tariff bill tor protection we'll as revenue with
provision for continuing the distribution act of
the extra session, will not receive the sanction
OF the Presldent--and we confess taat we enter
tanned some doubts on the subject. But these
are dispellcd by the following extract from let
ter addressed by M. Tyler to William Robin.
son, Jr, Of Pittsburg, Pa. under the date of It'll
October, 1910. We are sure that Mr.. Tyler,s o.
plnlons on the important subjects embraced in
this extract, will be read with peculiar interest
at the present moment; inasmuch as they give
the most positive assurance that he is favorable
to the protection oil domestic manufactures, and
to the distribution of the proceeds of tho sale of
the public lands among the States. These were
the sentiments which he deliberately uttered i'm.
medlatelv preceding the election at which he was
chosen Vice President and it would be doing
injustice to his reputation to suppose that he will
now retract them, without an assig nablc cause
Tor the inconsistency. Were he to act in oppo-
stlon to what he utters in this extract, he would
indeed, be unworthy of confidence, and deserve
the severest condemnation.
+" My opinions were fully expressed at st.
ci''rsvllle, and at Steubenville. At both places,
IN regard to the question. What are your opin-
Ions as to the Tariff | answered that was in
favor of sustaining the Compromise Bill That
moment the duty attained its minimum, which
forced up the protection co Instant, to rhat ras
equlratent TO 40 per cent. That the change which
II effected in the plan of valuation, and tho mode
OF payment, was fully equal in my view to rs or
3oPer cent and that with cessation If the war
upon the currency which had paralyzed the in
dustry of the country, was sanguine in the hope
ana the belief, that prosperity would be speedily
restored. That IN connection with this, ]
would take occasion to say that was in favor
OF the distribution of the proceeds of the sale of
the public lands among the States, and in favor
OF raising the revenue by duties on imports in
opposition to resort to system Of direct tax
alton, as every way onersus to the people, unpro-
ductive to the treasury and expensive in Tho col
lection. That in these views was pleased to
believe that | concurred with MIR. Clay and Con
eral Harrison, SO that there existed prospect, in
the event of Gen. Harrisons election, that a
permanent system would be introduced in place
of a tlceting and ever-varying system, which
promises one thing to-day and produces another

Dear Sir:-Iou ask me what proofs | meet
with ofthe efficacy Of your medicine. can safe
ly say that l never prescribed a medicine for
Bowel Complaints that has given me so much
satisfaction, and my patients so speedy and per-
feet relief as this. Whenever introduced into a
family, it becomes standing remedy for those
ailments, and is called for again and again which
think pretty good proof of its efficacy and
usefulness. In the Summer Complaint OF chill
dren it has frequently appeared to snatch the lit
tic Victims as it were from the grave. 1T sa-
we'd the life of my child and of such and such a
child, have repeatedly heard said. In dysen-
terc affections of adults | have time and again
seen it act like charm, and give permanent re-
lief in few hours, may say in few minutes.
In fine, it is valuable medicine, and no family
should be without it. Respectfully,

"Mr Adams seems to have more influence
over his fellow members just now than ever be-
lore. His words are oraces, and his counsel en-
bodies so much practical information, that what
he says generally becomes law. No matter what
the subject under consideration u.s. if he speaks he
is listened to by all, and all may gather wisdom
from what he says. Among the most pleasing
signs in the House is the exhibition of modest
wisdom upon the one hand and the veneraton
everywhere paid to it on the other. One cannot
but think, after all, when such are the practical
results of age and experience. that the Ex-Presi-
