HER LETTER.

$50 here I am writing at home, dear,

When you told me all your lover"

AS he sat by the far campfire,
And read and read her letter
With heart that could never tire.

AS she leans on her little hand,
And gases and dreams about me

The bugle rang out at midnight,
The fight was lost ere morn,

Leading hope forlorn.
While at home the sun is shining,
And the roses of June unfold,
But the maiden is quietly weeping
AS she dreams her dream of old.

THE PROPOSED TARIFF.

TIL tariff reduction bill introduced by
Chairman Mills for consideration in full
committee will reduce the surplus revenue
now collected by Government some $780,
100000. The revenue will bear a reduc-
ton of at least $1,000, 600, so that about
$40, 600, 900 more will be reduced from the
internal revenue taxation. While the latter
is entirely on l~uxuries and cal best and
most efficiently endure all the taxes
that need be levied, il necessary. still the
urgent necessity for compromise so as to
relieve the country from unnecessary tax
alton obliges the committee to concede
that much. TIL need for removing surplus
taxes is the prime necessity. The country
is not prepared to 60 on levying nearly
500, 00O, 900 more taxes a year than is
needed for the economical administration
OF the Government simply to pay it out in
e~xtravagant pensions at the suggestion OF
the Grand Army Of the Republic. 1t is
not prepared to continue the levy either
that the nscessaries Of existence
may be kept up to a fictitious value beyond
anything in reason simply that one or two
favored industries may flourish at a hot.
house rate. The changes in the present
tariff are, to judge from the Associated
Press report, chiefly on necessaries OF life,
articles upon which in many cases the ok
listing tariff levies the heaviest duties upon
the lowest qualities OF goods-those OF
which most are consumed, and that by the
poorer classes. Any measure that pro-
poses to cheaper that which en-
tiers into the clothing materials OF these
classes should receive general approval.
Let the tariff remain and be made as
heavy as it will endure on the higher quail
ties OF these goods used only by the well-to-
do; but reduce to a minimum the tariff on
the poor woman's cloak, the blankets of
the poor and that class OF goods generally.
AS to the wool-grower, comparison OF the
prices OF that staple for sixty years shows
that the prices Of wool were highest previ-
Gus to the tariff OF 1867, when they fell
seriously until the tariff was partially re-
moved in 1883 after which they improved
to some extent. With the additional
reduction in this tariff proposition, if
there is anything to be argued from the e1-
perience Of the past the wool-growing in
dustry will receive an impetus instead OF a
setback.

The Notwithstanding Beaten.

Baltimore Herald: 1t happened the
other day in a ~well-known Light street
saloon. A party OF four gentlemen had
just taken a very close observation
through the bottom of some fine cut glasses.
when one ofthem happening to look around,
saw a few feet away n Of those little
machines with q sign containing the legend,
Drop a nickel and get your weight
MACHINERY lays over everything" he re-
marked, philosophically. NOW you
couldn't beat that scale"
Yes, yen cam" spoke up one of the
others.
"Bet you can't" retorted the first
speaker, diving his hand into his vest
pocket.
an take that"
A bet was quickly arranged. The man
who thought he could beat the machine
then asked the bartender for some muci,
lage, and put a thick coating OF it on a
nickel. The piece OF money thus prepared
was dropped into the slot, and instead OF
sliding down after releasing the spring
which controls the mechanism, stuck fast.
Within the next minute each Of the four
gentlemen knew how much he weighed
without dropping a nickel every time, and
the machine was still open for business.

he Stops Over About the Fisheries Treaty

New YORK, March 2.-The Canadian Club
OF this city gave a dinner tonight to mark
the completion OF the labors OF the British
Fisheries Commissioners. Erastus Wiman,
President OF the Canadian Club, presided,
and on his right sat Mayor Hewitt. At the
chairman's left were the members Of the
Fisheries Commission, the Right Honorable
Joseph Chamberlain, Sir Lionel Sackvi'le
West and their associates. Two hundred
other guests were present. Letters OF regret
from Secretary Bayard and Sir Charles
Upper were read. Secretary Bayard in
his letter says: 81 hope the treaty
now pending for ratification may be
thoroughly comprehended upon both
sides Of the border and tried
upon it's merit. The treaty has been
framed in a spirit Of just and mutual con-
citation and advantage, and 1 earnestly
hope the blindness Of craftsmanship or the
influence of local selfshness or ignorance
may not be suffered to deprive the two
countries OF it's great benefits. Its defeat
would be q great public calamity, which
hope patriotism may arrest"

With the existing sources OF ceal-oil supply

with the existing sources OF coal-oil supply
a couple of years ago, and prices were re-
duced below actual cost OF production
ofthe article laid down in Butte. Recently
it has made another effort to
control the field and crush our local mer-
chants. 1t is to the interest Of the citizens
here to maintain the home industry. For
a while the monopoly will make specious
offers OF a lower priced article, but, as they
have done everywhere else, let them accom-
plish their object and drive local competl-
ton to the wall and then they will establish
what prices they see fit. 1t is we'll to re-
member, too, that the merchants whom we
have with US, that the monopoly wants to
supplant, have all their interests here and
pay their share Of taxation and do their
portion in promoting home institutions.
The monopoly comes here and sells its
wares and takes all the profit away except
what tits absolutely obliged topay as tax.
The home industry that has been
esta blished here before the monopoly
sought to drive them from the field buys in
the open market and sells the consumer a
frst class article. The monopoly would
introduce here an inferior article that can
not fairly compete with what the con-
sumers have been furnished. 1t is claimed
for these gigantic trusts that one OF their
chief uses is to maintain a high grade OF the
article they protect. As a matter OF fact
they do nothing OF the kind. 1t is to the
interest, therefore, of the community to re-
ject the attempt to supplant the home
co mpetition with an outside monopoly
whose course here will be marked by the
same disastrous results as have attended
it's supremacy elsewhere.
