Not permitting them to think of silk

The tariff on woolen fabrics is from 40

is from 40 to go per cent. Shoes are
taxed at 25 per cent. for the commonest
styles and more for better qualities.
Every workman must have tools towork
with, but these are taxed by the tariff 10
per cent. The cheap crockery which
does duty on his dinner table is taxed 45
per cent, and the common glass tumbler
out of which he drinks pays tax of 60

When Mr.. Stevenson was First AS.

necessary to lease new premises for the
postoffice at Bloomington, iii. Citizens
wanted the Office removed to Steven
son Block owned by members of Mr..
Stevenson's family. To them he wrote
this letter:
SIN reply to your inquiry whether
the removal of the Bloomington post
office at the expiration of the present
lease to Stevenson Block is contempla-
ted by the department, answer, 1t is
not. Inasmuch as number ofgentle-
men for whom I maintain high re-
gard have written me suggesting the
removal, Ishould be glad to have them
know my views upon the subject.
Stevenson Block Is owned by members
of my own family, which fact while I
sustain my present position, wholly
excludes it from consideration as a
location for postoffice. The exercise
of official power to promote the pecu-
mary interest of ones selfor friends can
not, in my judgment, under any pos.
sible circumstances, bejustified."
