Come over the line, it is only step

Miss Louise Lambert the second
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs H. Lambert
died on Saturday October 10Th of
consumption. She was naturally of a
delicate constitu ton and having taken
a severe cold while teaching during
the winter, was not able to overcome
the dreaded disease. She has borne
with patience the months of sickness
and has been comforted by the kind
attentions of her teachers and school
mates with whom her gentle and I'M
assuming character made her a univer-

often mourned for loved ones have the
sympathy of neighbors' and friends

CARLISLE ANSWERED,
Cost of Living Reduced by the Mckinley
Law.

Cost of Living Reduced by the Mckinley
Law.
Senator Carlisle's ingenious but not
entirely ingenious argument, in which
he attempted to show that the cost of
living had been increased by the McKin-
ley tariff, has been ably answered by
Senator Hiscock. That gentleman. in a
speech in the senate on Aug. 1. COM
pletely swept away Senator Carlisles
arguments. He showed that the only
increase IN the cost of living in the
twenty-seven months covered by the SEN
ate finance committee investigation was
in prices of such articles of food as are
produced by the farmers of this country.
On the other hand, in articles which per-
tain to daily life, such as clothing, fuel,
tools, lumber and building materials,
house furnishing goods, drugs and every
thingsof this character, there had been
decided reduction in cost. The advance
IN prices Of agricultural products are
of course largely due to the increased
demand abroad, and the increased
amount that the people of this country
must pay for food cannot properly be
charged to the tariff. On the other
hand, Senator Hiscock shows from Sem
ator Carlisle's own figures that there has
been such marked reduction in prices
of other articles of daily use, and affect
ed by the tariff, as to warrant the con-
clusion that the cost of living was re-
duced through the action of the McKin-
ley law in the sum of over $47, 900, 900 in
the period between October, 1889, and
September, 1891. Senator Hiscock's
