Somebody asks the Philadelphia Imes
how free wool would benefit the people.

seems to be hard to get into the heads Of
the people who pay more for their cloth

The reason why you buy q 'ull suit OF
wearing apparel from the hat 10 The shoes
In Canada cheaper by a third than YOU
do here is|because the people there are
not ridden with an iron clad tyranny and
made to pay the extra ,lirl in the form
of tax. The tax that every American
citizen pays when lie buys his clothes,
goes TO a few bloated mouopolis.s, who
are protected
This protection started in The war OF
1912, and was afterwards partly abolished
until from 1916 10 1861 low tariff duties
prevailed. In the period OF the civil wa.
the high tariff duties were laid on purely
TO carry on the war But the mous'rous
outrage is that the import duties are
higher now than III 1864 Ana sj.! tnc

The excavations On the Acropolis, at the
southeast angle Of the Parthenon, have
resulted further il discovery Of the
highest importance At a depth Of
about four meters from the present level,
near the new Acropolis museum, has
been found the bearded head Of man
Of heroic size, carved ia porous stone,
well preserved and retaining a covering
Of rich and brilliant coloring The hair
and beard are, as usual, painted blue and
the face red. What Is remarkable, how
ever, is that the pupils Of the eyes are not
only painted in, but also delineated with
chisel. This head, which forms ore OF
the most ancient sculptures ever found
upon the Acropolis, will attract consider
able attention both from the style OF
workmanship and the material Of which
it is made. 1t appears to be the head OF
q triton, the rest Of the body in the form
of a serpent, ending il the tail Of a fish
having been found 4 few days before
