Future Life Among tho Nlha..

The Mia conceptions of the condition
after death are confused. The bechoe go
below into the city of the dead, where
they ave TO die nine times. or, according
to some, as many times as the man has
lived years on the earth. and are supposed
to lead lives like the earthly lives. They
take with them their earthly utensils and
possessions in the form of shadows, and
cannot expect to attain a higher state of
wealth than they did ON the earth; there
foro living men accumulate as much
wealth as possible. In order that they may
take the shadow of 1t with them. The
bechoe Of wicked men return to the corpse
in the grave, and are crushed by the earth.
Men who ave no male issue are turned
after their manifold deaths into night
locusts. The bechoe of murdered men and
suicides are assigned separate nbodes from
the other bechoe.
At last the earth will die, or sink into
the sea. and there will be a new earth.
Then the bechoe Of the cats will let the
bechoe OF the men go over the gulf into
the new earth, the edge of q sword serv.
ing as q bridge. Any one who, in life, has
causelessly tormented or killed a cat will
be thrown by them into the abyss. There
fore every person Is afraid to go neal cats
to annoy them. Only those also who have
had Issue can go over. while others be
some butterflies or something Of the kind.
The bechoo of children are carried over by
their mothers, and go to God.-H. Sunder,

The Only Sensible Plan.


The Republican platform. which
makes thinly-disguised appeal on be-,
half of free whisky, makes an open
one for free alcohol used in the arts.
The rational objection to free alcohol
used for this purpose is not one OF
principle but of practice. 1t would be
we'll to make such alcohol free if that
could safely be done. But it would
deluge the country with that free
whisky which the Republicans admire.
1t would be impossible to confine the
reduction within the limits proposed.
Under pretense of making alcohol for
the arts, every Illicit stial. and some
that are not so classed, would manu-
facture liquor for drink. The result
would be a food of cheap whisky
thrown upon the market. Yes, there
is no doubt about it; looked at in
every light the Republican plan Of
revenue reduction makes for free
whisky. The only sensible plan that
has been offered or can be offered is
the Democratic plan of reducing taxes
on the necessaries of life.-Bostor

How VIII sherman, Ingalls, q Co. Dis
pose of the Mills Bill.
Now that the Mails bill is out of the
House of Representatives, the upper
most question in the public mind is.
what will the Senate do with it? There
is popular impression that the Sem
ate will do nothing-that the bill will
be referred to the appropriate Senate
committee, and that it will be allowed
to sleep there until this Congress adj
iourns. And yet there Is no reason
why the Senate should pursue such a
course There is no precedent for II.
If the Senate pursued this course it
would be the first time in the history
of the country for the Senate to refuse
consideration Of revenue measure
passed by the immediate representa-
tives of the people. Looking at 1t In
the light of party expediency, it would
be better for the Republican Senate to
take up the Mills bill and defeat it by
o square vote than to smother it in a
committee room. And yet If the bill
is taken up and put upon It's passage
there is chance for its going through
AN event that would be singularly
fatal to the hopes Of Republican sue
cess in the national election. So 1t Il
the Republican majority in the Senate
finds itself in dilemma. To take
action on the Mills bill is fatal; not t.
do so is equally fatal. And yet thu
condition of the public finances. doe
not justify trifing with this importan
measure. The Treasury is gorge'
with revenues, compelling the Score
tary to go into the markets and bu,
bonds not due at an ever-increasinl
rate of premium. Something must b
done by the Republican majority in tn
Senate to relieve this condition of al
fairs, or the party to which the major
ity belongs win be held justly respon
sible for the failure. 1.-THE Republica
Senators can not come up to the fu

The figures marked with a are the
average rates collected on the next
years imports. All others are the
rates embodied in the law.
The history of the wool tariff needs
to be elaborated little. Down to 1924
wool was free and cotton was taxed.
Then wool was divided into two class
es, according to value, and if valued at
less than 10 cents a pound the tax was
10 per cent, otherwise 20, and after
wards 80. In 1928 the tax on high
grade wool was enormously increased.
For eight years it remained at four
cents pound and 40 per cent, and
then the compromise tariff began TO re-
duce it little. The maximum figures
have given from 1928 to 1912 are the
highest that could possibly be collected
under the complex law, and doubtless
far higher than the average actually
collected, though that was probably 5O
per cent. In 1882 low-grade wool was
again made free, and has never since
been heavily taxed. Wool is now
(since 1860 divided into three classes,
4" clothing" combing" and "car-
pet" and they paid last year 80 per
cent, 43 per cent. and 20 per cent. re-
spectively.
The first tariff was the lightest. II
was gradually raised until the war OF
| 1912 broke out, and then it was
doubled at stroke. The genuine high
protective system was adopted in 1916,
under the influence of Calhoun, who
bitterly regretted it. Webster was a
free trader when the tariff was raised
in 1924, but faced about and helped te
raise it again in 1928. This was called
the Tariff of denominations, because the
free traders tried to kill it by loading il
down with denominations, but to theil
great surprise it passed with all its sins
upon it. 1t almost led to war, and die
lead to the compromise tariff OF 1888
which proposed gradual horizontal
reduction. In 1912 the Wings raiset
the tariff: in 1916 the Democrats re
duced it; in 1857 the new Republican
party had got control of the Lowe
House and with Democratic help re
duced the tariff again to the loves
point reached since 1916. Four year
later they adopted the Morrill,. or wa
tariff, and gradually raised it until 1861
