whether they do not do more harm than good
The recent storms In this aud other sections this
year have resulted In numerous strokes by light

to q few would-be monopolists and proposed m
advance Of duty to 2 2-iO cents per pound.
The Ways and Means Committee Of the House.

mission, cut this rate down To two cents. The
Finance Committee Of the Senate cut u TO cent
per pound. On motion Of Senator German, Of
Maryland. this latter rate was adopted into the
compromise tariff bill passed by the last Congress,
and since July LIST has been in force at our Gus.

tin envelop bears to its contents. A 3b can costs
about cents the contents, about cents ; the
