teries. Dozens Of columns have been de-
voted to calculating it, and further than
that the man (Ryan) who was supposed to

interminable one. Mr.. Walter Cooper, Of
Bozeman, stands, Is treasurer, between the

states, on full and explicit authority, and
then did not have the money to pay for their
performance. There seems to be . question
now If he was not deceived by the parties to

The Crown Princes Character.

Associated Press. adam Badcau writes the
following to the Mail and Express concern
ing the Crown Prince: 81 used to see tie
Prince at the English Court, to which be
sometimes accompanied his wife. 1 heard
the talk of those who knew him as init.
mately as men often know Crown Princes.
Courtiers thought him kindly, sufficiently
able, honest and honorable, but he did not
impress me as remarkable in the outward
indications Of character or ability. He was
rugged, and almost rough in appearance and
manner, not courtly, and hardly afable.
He seemed to think much of his own conse-
quence, and doubtless did so. No one ever
spoke of him IS Intellectual, but his career
is proof that he has been . mar of good
stuff, perhaps more likely to have ruled his
country and done his duty we'll than if he
had been brilliant aud elegant, and had
smirked and bowed with greater ease. He
evidently thought he had = great destiny,
and that If men were not born to obey him,
he at least was made to command Them"

THAT TARIFF BILL.

In this issue is given pretty fully the sub
stance of the tariff reduction bill introduced
BY the Ways aud Means committee of the
House, and provisions Of the internal reve-
nue. reduction agreed upon. These are spe-
cial political nets and constitute the Demo
cratic spread for votes in the next campaign.
The fundamental idea is to "reduce the sur
plus" The reduction on import duties az
gregates $54, 000, 900. 1t does not, as = gen.
eral thing, abolish duties. 1t merely scales
them down . certain per cent. There is
little doubt but that the increase of impor-
tations under this would bring the aggregate
customs receipts up TO Is great . sum total
Is is yielded now; so the surplus would not
be affected thereby. The internal revenue
reduction is on tobacco, except cigars or
cigarettes, and aggregates about $25 100000,
which may be considered the net effect both
these bills will have on that ~"bugaboo"
surplus.
In consideration of this al woods are put
on the free list, which will paralyze the
sheep growing industry of the United States
except for those grown for mutton. The
duty on iron and steel rails is 50 reduced
that American manufacturers canno com
pete with foreign without reducing wages,
and while lead, copper, and call crude min
erals and metals unwrought" are placed on
the free list. The Salt Lake Tribune says
this will close down nine out of ten of the
lead mines of Utah, and it will be the same
everywhere, except where they carry q large
percentage Of silver. Everywhere through
the list arc reductions that will tend to
cripple American industries or reduce Amer
lean wages. The full extent of the injury
cannot be comprehended until analysis of
the bill and Its direct effect on industry can
be compiled from official statistics and the
showings of those engaged therein, which
will be developed In the exhaustive discus
sion that will result when the bill is con-
sidered in the House and Senate. The re-
duction proper cannot materially Affect the
surplus of hundreds of millions Of dollars.
That should be expended in building . navy
and sea coast defenses worthy OF the nation,
in paying pensions to deserving and depend
emit soldiers of the Union, and in reducing
the public debt. II, in addition to that,
Congress should put on the free list every
article offered for sale by the infamous, octo.
pus "trusts," that are now s%traneling, at
their first embrace, the life out of the u
try, and keep it there until they have broken
up their conspiracies and gone back TO legit.
innate, competitive trade, there would be .
sense of astice in it that would meet the
approval of all outside Of them; but the
probability is = majority Of Congressman
have interests in the s'trus,s," and no such
action need be looked for. The Mills tariff
bill Is 1t is now should, and we believe will,
mire down any party that attempts TO carry
it through.

THE REMAINDER OF THE BILL.
Is made up entirely of the leading features
of the old Hewitt administrative bill, such
AZ the similarity clause provisions intended
to guard against smuggling, exempting OF
theatrical scenery and wardrobes when in
tended for temporary use in the United
States and tourists wearing apparel; the
clause providing for the taxation of cartoons
or coverings; the section intended to prevent
false invoices and undervaluations and pro-
viding for the punishment of persons guilty
of these offenses; the extension OF the ware
house privilege to three years; the abolition
of the allowance for damage in warehouses;
the abolition of all fees upon entries of i'm
ported goods and the requirements that in
voices shall be submitted to the United
States consular officers before expectation to
the United States; the section relative to ap
peals in customs cases and limiting the time
within which such suits can be brought; the
bestowal of the sole jurisdiction in the trial
of suits against United States Collectors
upou United States Circuit Courts aud the
penalty clause directed against the attempted
bribery of customs officers.
THE LATEST
Made by the Committee on Ways and Means
of the probable reduction in revenue chat
would be effected by the passage of the bill,
are as follows: Chemicals, $3.50, 600; china and
glass, 81, 600, 600; c~ottons, $277 900; provisions
$500, 600 approximately; wooden goods, s12,-
300, 900; sundries, $1,000 600; paper, $4,000
sugars, 81, GOO, 600; hemp, fax and jute, 81,
800, 200; metals, $500 approximately; free
list, 500, 25O, 900. This would make a reduc
ton of about $54 900 1000. Chairman Mills
said to-day that internal revenue changes
had been purposely excluded from the bill
The Democratic members were still consid
ering that subject, and it was not possible te
say at this time whether reductions would
result in the presentation of another bill
dealing specifically with internal revenue
or in the inclusion Of some provisions bear
ing upon that system in the present bill at
some future stage.
