Who
Lesdt the Opposing

The present agitation over tariff reform
is generally recognized as the inevitable
result OF the abnormal business condi-
ton Of the country occssioned by the
civil war Of 1905. To raise the funds
necessary for the successful issue Of that
war, Congress WAS compelled to levy
taxes and import duties on nearly all
articles whether of luxury or Of necessity.
Internal revenue stamps were seen every
where on goods manufactured in the
United States and nothing imported came
in free of duty. That private business
WAS not ennihilated was due to the con-
temp orary issue and active circulation Of
an immense volume OF non-interest bear
prices of government bonds bearing high
interest, and to the establishment Of the
national bank circulation.
An unhealthy sort Of prosperity was
followed by revulsions, ana from 1865 to
1883 the problem OF restoring the BUSH
ness Of the country to It's normal condi-
ton, as 1t was before the war, without
injury to any interest that had been Gre
ated by the vast financial operations Of the
war period has been before the American
Congress and people.
TIE final settlement seems near at
hand.
At this time the revenues of the gov
ernmenG are SO much larger than re-
quired to meet interest on the debs and
the necessary expenses OF the public ser
vice that 8 surplus is constantly sCcumu-
lating in the Treasury. The money col
lected il taxes no longer flows back into
trade. That some reductions of the
revenue is necessary both the
great parties agree; but whether it
shall be made in favor of freer trade
with foreign countries or by the removal
or radical reduction OF the internal
revenue or by various combinations of
changes in both the tariff and the inter
nal taxes, sre questions upon which
almost all thinking men have opinions OF
their own.
Some phase Of the tariff problem comes
home to every one.
The Ohio wool grower has his personal
reasons for wanting duty on wool; the
Louisiana planter on sugar; the Pennsyl-
vania mine owner on coal End SO on
throughout the list Of productive or man
ufacturing industries. And the farmer
who sells unprotected products and con
sumes protected goods has q personal
interest in asking that he be allowed to
buy on the same terms as he sells.

BoNHAM, TEX April l7.-Press re-
ports from this place on last Saturday an
nounced family row near here on the
night before, in which Joshus Farr WAS
supposed to have received fatal stab,
inflicted with pair OF cissors in the
hands of Fairs wife. Persons living in
the neighborhocd where the row occur
red were in town to-dsy and state that
mystery surrounds the fight; that Farr
mad started of with the child when his
wife thrust the point Of the cissors in his
side; that he then started to run when
his sister-in-law fred on him with gun,
and 1t is supposed hit him, as he was
seen to throw his hands up to his back
and stoop over, as II shot. Since that
time nothing has been seen or heard of
Farr, and it is supposed by many that he
was killed and dragged OF into the brush,
A rumor gained credence to-day that
bloody trail had been found in the neigh
borhood close to Bots d. Arc creek which
looked as II made by drsggingls humsn
body. The officers have been inVestigat-
ing to-day, but their efforts have disclosed
nothing of Importance. An eleven-yesr
old boy who was said to know something
OF the difficulty was brought to town this
evening and questioned By the justice of
the peace. The boy stated that he saw
the woman stab the man and saw her
sister shoot st him, and that the man ran
towards the creek. He diin't / know
whether the man wss killed or not. The
affsir has crested considerable excite
ment here, and the outcome is not yet
known

The Strange Efscs of g Drink of Wine.
The Work of Burglars.
Special to the Gazette.
GREENYILLE, TEX, April 17-On yes
terday morning Sheriff S. j. Mason and
his family partook Of some wine that had
been given him by friend who manu-
features superior article of homemade
wine. Mr.. Mason gave his little 3-year-
old son, Albert, something like half of
the smallest size glsss-the mug being
also one that his infant son had been &C
customed to drink out Of daily. Soon
sitter Albert had drank the wine he
began to have spasms. His eyes became
greatly dilated and he foamed at the
mouth. All efforts to arouse him for
several hours proved futile, and the little
fellow continued in this condition from 3
O'Clock until in the afternoon, having
four or five spasms during the time. At
last reports he was much better and
thought to be recovering. The cause Of
this very singular attsck Is to Mr.. Mason
and his wife an unsolved mystery. The
attending physician was as much at 6 loes
for the cause IS they.

tanned. The informant states two colored
