The TariR as It l. and the TariR ann
the Mills Bill Would Make It.
Below we print the full text of the
Tariff Law OF the United States as it
stands upon the statute books, accom-
panied, in italics and brackets, with
every change proposed by the Mills
bill and the Democratic party. In
nearly all cases the changes are merely
in the rates OF duty. Where the lam
gnoge of section is changed, the pres
ent law is printed, and next to it, IN
brackets and italics, the language which
the Mills bill proposes to substitute is
given. 1t is necessary to q complete
and correct understanding Of the
changes proposed to print the existing
laws and existing rates OF duty, be-
cause the last section Of tine Mills bill
reads as follows:
Section II. This act 10 intended and shall
be construed as an act supplementary and
.amendatory to existing lava, and the rates of
duty and modification Of clauses, provisions
and sections, as herein specifically made, are
intended and shall be construed as q repeal of
al clauses, provisions and sections in conflict
herewith: but rs to all clauses, provisions
and sections in existing laws, not herein spe-
cifcally changed, modified or amended, the
rates Of duty now existing shall be and remain
in fun force and effect
fsThis act shall be IN force from and after
October !. 1888, except as herein otherwise PRO
yided."
Where no change In indicated below IN braek-
sts and italics, the existing law Is not changed
by the Mills bill.
Democrats should preserve and carry
with them constantly this presentation
of the High Republican Tariff as it
stands, taking avast sum annually from
the pockets of the people and the chan
nels of trade to lay in. idleness in the
government vaults, and create strins
gency in the money market, contrasted
with the revision and reduction made
by the Mills bill to retain the useless
surplus to the people, to their pockets
and the channels of trade. Its facts
and figures answer and silence the
reckless assertions and deliberate mis-
representations of Republican news
papers and Republican takers.

JONES, GREAT CALF CASE.

At Has Been Nm Court Many Years and
 Impoverished Many People.
 [Des Moines Special to St. Louis Post Dispatch
 The celebrated Jones County calf case is before Judge Linehan at Waterloo this week. It is a case with history. It had its origin fourteen years ago, has been tried in several district courts, been heard in the Supreme Court two OF three times, and now comes up for adjudication once more. In 1874 the case was started in Jones County by far- mers' society. A man by name of Potter, of Greene County, travelled through that sec- tion buying young stock. Among the rest five calves were bought of one Johnson, who has been the prominent figure in the itiga- gation which has consumed 50 much time. The calves which were sold were afterwards identified as belonging to farmers in the vicinity. At meeting of the Jones County Anti-Horse Thief Society, held shortly after, it was determined to charge Johnson with the theft of the animals, and suit was accord inely entered. In December of 1874 he was indicted by the Grand Jury in session in Jones County, but the Court set the indict- aside. In February of the following year he was again indicted by the Grand Jury, and on this indictment he was twice tried, taking change of venue to adjoining counties In the first trial the jury disagreed, one man remaining firm in favor of conviction, but in the second trial, which occurred in 1876, he was acquitted.
 Soon after his acquittal he began suit against farmers by the name of Miller and Foreman and six other prominent members of the society, claiming $10,000 damages for malicious prosecution. This case was taken upon a change of venue from Jones County | to Clinton. There it waa twice tried and \ then removed to Benton County on a change
