The report of the Republican minority
of the Ways and Means Committee on
the tariff bill Ia universally conceded to
be weak and powerless document.
1t proposes nothing and urges nothing
but obstruction. Having been prepared
bv an Ohio man, its main objective point
is the duty on wool, against the removal
of which it sets up tremendous howl.
Old statistics have been industriously re-
hashed and the usual false deductions have
been made in the face of this established
fact that even ProtectlOnists admit that
experience has shown that wool is higher
under low tariffs than when most highly
protected
As the Philadelphia Record we'll says
Mr.. Mckinley, the author of the report,
himself unconsciously contesses this
truth when he insists that the high tariff
has added nothing 10 the cost of wool
to the manufactured or consumer" but
that, ION the contrary, the cost has been
greatly lessened" The tariff, then, by
his own confession, has diminished the
price of wool to the home producer. In
such case, what in the name of common
ssense is the wool duty for? Mr.. McKin-
ley is not the first Protectonist who has
inextricsbly entangled himself in his own
sophistrics. He cannot escape the fact
that high tariffs have failed in the pur
pose of maintaining the prices of wool,
and he seeks to make merit OF the fail
ure by Boosting that this policy has great
ly cheapened the cost Of domestic wool
to manufacturers and consumers. He
totally ignores the real causes which in
fluence the market both of foreign and
domestic wool, and attributes every fuc-

1'he fashion of braiding the hair Is NOT
very beneficial for the hair nor the heai'n
Of the child Many little girls have iiad
chronic headaches which were relieved rs
snon as the hair was LETT Ia How loose,
which is the natural manner ,..,.
Those mothers who wish Their niue
girls To have a thick, healthy growth Oh
hair. which will not fall when they be
come women. should follow these lew
hints. and they will find their fondest
wishes gratifed First, each child should
wet its hair thoroughly with cold water at
the roots every morning, and then COMP
il out smoothly. after which 1t should DC
brushed until dry or until the scalp Is
warm.
Every child should have It's own brush
and comb, aud never under any circum-
stances use those Of another. More cases
of scalp disease and dandruff have been
developed by the habit of all using the
same comb and brush than can be count,
ed II the hair is wet, comoed ana
brushed regularly. it will remain soft ana
glossy. ID needs NO washing aD over eA-
cent perhaps once a month in summer
No soap or alcohol or alkali of any KIND
should ever be used, as they all destroy the
oily secretions which uoUrijh the hair
Brushing and the use Of "a good fine comb
will keep the scalp clean and free from
dandruff.
Some authorities claim that a little
girls hair should be kept short until the
age OF II. but / have seen more girls with
fine heads Of hair who have never had it
cut. than girls who have worn theirs shin
gled all their lives, with thick, handsome
hair.
In many countries the ends Of the hair
are singed with a candle, and there 10 Is
claimed that cutting the hair allows the
pigment and other moisture 10 escape
through the hollow hairs, and that SINCE
ing only shrivels the hair ana keeps the
pigment in. | can only say that those
people who use that plan are not so bald
as nations as we are. think cleanliness,
cool brushing and no alkalis are the best
means Of keeping the hair perfect, and, II
it is desirable, the ends could be kept even
by scorching, and the hair should not be
tightly braided at any time.
Chiidrens eyebrows should always be
brushed backward and their eyelashes let
strictly alone, only keeping the eyes free
from impurities and Inflammation They
will develop better so. and there is no
danger OF putting ont their eyes with
sharp scissors, as have seen done.-Ohyc

In 1S49 the total imports Of the United
States, under the free trade tariff OF
1916, amounted in value TO little more
than 1892 $4,000. In 1866, under the
highest tariff the country ever had, the
imports Of manufactures Of wooden, cot
ton, and linen fabrics and of iron and
steel alone amounted to more than $40,
600, O0D OF course. the great increase in
this country imports has been due
chiefly to It's immense growth in popuia-
ton and wealth The people needed the
aforementioned Sl400000OO worth of for
eign goods in the year 1886, or they
wonld not have sent abroad for them and
paid taxes upon them amounting in the
aggregate to S73.OO0,00O. The protection
ist method OF dealing with this class OF
statistics is TO insist that the low duties OF
the tariff Of 1916 largely increased i'm
portaiions, and that high duties keep ont
foreign fabrics. In juggling with returns
Of trade they make no allowance for
differences in time and other conditions

THURSDAY,
PARTY PRINCIPLES.

The most eccentric situation ever seen
in American politics is the one which ex
lists to-day, and upon the treatment OF
which depends the destiny Of the Demo
cratic party for a long time to come. Inc
salient point OF observation is the fact
that the Government collects $50 600 900
more revenue than it can use The Gus
toms taxes produced 60 millions in 1853,
1924 millions in 1864. IS millions in 1860,
179 millions in 1866, and 2l7 millions in
1887
Now, is it possible that the false doc
trines of the Republican party can long
keep the American people blindfoldei
with the absurd idea that people are to
be taxed in time of peace on the same
basis as in time of war? Does the same
reason apply to protecting few
m manufacturers and giving them royal
grant of monopoly as applied to support
i'm million of soldiers in the field
The citizen asks himself why he is re-
qnired to pay q third more for clothing
THAI people across the Canada border.
la 1854 the answer was that 1t was 10
support the army in the field.
He asks why he should pay more for
a salt mackerel for his breakfast, and the
answer il that three thousand New Eng
land fishermen must be allowed the
monopoly OF the market though the
Canada mackerel across the border and IN
sight OF us is sold for less. The plea OF
war was all right, but the war being
over the war taxes are not only retained
but they are actually increased, and the
Protectionists have the impudence to
say that it is 10 encourage American
labor, while the very same people let In
foreign labor free
As 70 the application Of these Repub-
lican dogmas To the Democratic party
in Virginia we have this to say, that
though the Democrats OF the state have
taken up certain ideas of the Malone
partv under stress of dire necessity, they
will not he likely at present to perform
sommersaull on the very boundary
line between the two parties, especially
at the time when the great protection
high tariff party has been beaten clean
out of its boots just by the suicidal opera
tions of its own bad principles.
1t would be peculiar position to put
party on in the presidential year if any
number of Democrats in Virginia decline
TO endorse the MISUNDERSTOOD principle
of the national Democracy, which Is TO
reduce the taxes 10 the needs of the
government economically administered
We therefore urge that the Democratic
politicians and papers in Virginia range
themselves under the national party ban
ner; for, with all respect to the opinions
of others, ii may be said that at heart
Virginia is Democratic State upon true
Democratic principles and Is not likely
TO endure the infusion of Republican
ideas under any friendly name. The
protection Democrats" If there can he
such. are doubtless conscientious in their
views and intentions but the tide turns
towards reforming the fallacy and wrong
of protection, and the victorious party
points the way.

that the inactiOn of Parliament and re-
cent events had proved that the Cham
bers had ceased TO represent the aspira-
lions OF the country, and that the two
bodies no longer understood each other.
The only remedy, he said, was dissolu-
ton of Parliament and revision Of the
constitution. AT a meeting of the Cabi-

determined to oppose the demand of the
Boulanger extremists in the Chamber OF
Deputies for urgency for the proposal to
