TO AID FARMERS.
Senator Vance Has n Proposition BY Which
Import Duties May BE Lowered.

Senator Vance Has n Proposition By Which
Import Duties May BE Lowered.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator Vance
yesterday proposed the following amend
ment to the Tariff bill:
Whereas, From an early period in our his
tory, duties upon foreign imports have been
levied with the avowed purpose of promot-
Ing the interests of domestic manufacturers
and drawbacks or rebates have been given
on the duties on raw materials used in the
manufactures of all articles exported for
the same purpose; and
Whereas, For the encouragement of the
production OF spirits and tobacco all inter
nal revenue taxes are refunded upon those
articles which are exported abroad; and
Whereas, Bounties have long been granted
to our fishermen by a drawback OF duties
upon the salt used in their business, and
subsidies are proposed to aid in the bhild-
Ing and sale of ships; and
Whereas, Agriculture, the greatest in
Importance of all our Industries, has not
been and in the nature Of things can not be
aided in the same manner, the duties here.
totore for that purpose having for the most
part proved wholly unavaiiing; and,
Whereas, 1t is desirable to do impartial
justice to all of our Industries and to give no
one An advantage over the other, and mas
much as there is no other way By which
agriculture can be compensated for its con.
tribution to the support of manufactures )
therefore
Be 1t enacted, That in all cases where it
can be shows By proof satisfactory to the
Secretary of the Treasury that any goods,
wares or merchandise imported into this
country have been purchased abroad by
any citizen of the United States by ex-
change of farm products grown Ia the
United States for such goods or where
such goods have been purchased
with the proceeds or avails of such
products In foreign countries, such goods,
wares or merchandise shall be imported at
the following rates of duty, to-wit: One
half the present duty on all manufactures
Of iron and steel, 40 per cent OF the present
duty on all voolen or cotton goods or aftl-
cles OF which wool or cotton may be the
component material OF chief value one half
the present duty on earthenware. china and
glassware, 80 per cent. of the present rate
OF duty on all material used for fertilizers
or IN the manufacture thereof and 36 per

We, of Shelton, are confident
that we have the finest site for a
pretty city. that can be found on
the'Sound. All our visitors think
that way, and rarely it is that a
stranger leaves, without investing
in property, while those hunting
tor location have come to stay,
astevinced by our increased popuL
lation and building during the past
six months,-this unusual winter
season. The Editor desires to see
the people, who have settled in
Shelton to stay and put some mon
ey in its property, make something
and will give them a straight tip.
Put your spare cash in town prop
erty, and at once. Our word for
it. property will not be any cheaper
than at present. Perhaps you have
''missed it," and see where you
could have made money, in other
growing towns, at other periods of
lite, and perhaps you will do so
again. All right, that is your own
lookout, for the man who can and
fails to embrace the opportunity of
improving his condition, that ex.
lists in Shelton at the present time,
deserves to toll for every dollar that
he earns in the future. A mo-
ment's thought will convince you,
that there is nothing to lose, and
everything to gain. Selah!

Besides the iron that is to be

by the assayer to be the best sample
he had seen on the coast, but we
have not learned directly from the
coal sent there. Our future is as
sured at any rate, but if this re-
port is true, and the iron good, it
is doubly assured. The coal, too,
must not be forgotten. An ex-
change says there is more in ton
Of coal than most people are aware
of. Besides gases a ton of coal
will yield 1900 pounds of coke, 90
gallons of ammonia water, and 40
