Mr.. Richardson, of Tennessee, in
speaking upon the free wool bill in
the house of representatives, said that
he could cite innumerable instances
where the removal of the duty result
ed in reduction of the price of the
article, and he did name two articles
--quinine and sugar. The duty on qui-
nine was purely a revenue duty, such
as was levied on coffee and tea, none
of these articles having grown in this
country and the duty is always added
to the cost of such articles. The duty
on sugar was revenue duty, with in
cidental protection to the sugar grow
ers Of this country. The effort was
made through this duty to enable the
sugar producers to grow enough of
that necessary article to supply the
home demand. But seventy five years
OF protection failed to give home
product more than one-eleventh of the
home consumption, so the duty on
sugar was like that on quinine, tea
and coffee-purely a revenue duty
because it did not increase the home
production to the amount of home
consumption. Mr. Richardson abso-
lutely failed in his attack on protec-
ton when he cited these two articles
as being cheaper because of the re-
moval of duty. He succeeded, how
ever, in proving that the Democratic
idea of "a tariff for revenue only" is a
tax levied on consumers. "a tariff
for revenue only" would be levied on

Funds Are Short.

OMAHA, May 90.-Bishop Fass pre-
sided at the Methodist Episcopal confer
ence today. About the first thing that
was sprung was the question of finance.
Amos Sninkle, treasurer of the funds to
pay the travelling expenses of delegates,
arose and said that the funds had not
been paid in from the annual conference
treasurer in a sufficient amount to pay
all the travelling expenses of the dele
gates. Some one suggested that the
amount be borrowed from the book con-
Germ. Then the music began, and some
very vigorous remarks were offered.
This was finally agreed to after a long
discussion.
The committee on Columbian exposi-
ton presented its revised and condensed
report on Sunday closing. The commit
tee on temperance and prohibition of the
liquor traffic hold it to to be the duty of
the Methodist Episcopal church both to
save the fallen and wage incessant war
fare against the liquor traffic.

OMAHA, May 19.-Bishop Merrill, of

Most Of the day was taken up ballot

The report comes from across the
big waters that lowing to the de-
preston in English manufactures, due
to the new American Tariff, prices
have fallen lower than ever before,
and the finer class of goods are selling
at the bare cost Of manufacture to get
them into the American market"
Now, then, if it is true, as free traders
say, that the American consumer pays
the whole of the tariff tax" why is
it that English manufacturers make
such extraordinary efforts to have
this country abolish the "tariff tax?
Ii American consumers pay it, GER
tainly English manufacturers do not.

to be generally conceded that Stevens
county should have some represent
ative in the state legislature the COM

represented since 1886, and if good

The following circular has been
sent by the county auditor to the
chairman of board of supervisors Of
of the different towns in Stevens
county:
MORRIS, Mimi, May 10, 1892.
Chairman Board of Supervisors.
Dear Sir-I desire to call your at
tention to the fact that'it is necessary
for you to take some action very soon
in regard to purchasing an outfit fol-
the coming election, which will be
held under the Australian election
law. You will require election booths,
one for each fifty (50 registered voters
in your precinct; three 81 ballot boxes,
one each red, white and blue; also an
indelible pencil for each voting booth.
I have thought it would be good
idea for all the towns in this county
to order the necessary articles at one
time, thereby getting closer prices,
and saving money for each town,
both in first cost and in freights, as
all can be shipped together.
I will be pleased to give you any
information you may require. in res
gard to this matter, and would urge
upon you the Importance of prompt
action, as these supplies all have to
be made after the order is received.
A delay in placing your order may
mean much additional expense and
no end of worry.
Yours very truly,
N. r. SPUR,
County Auditor.

A New Pest in the Orchards.
Walla Walla Union.


State Tree Inspector W. jesse has dis
covered another fruit pest, which it is quite
likely will furnish plenty of work for the
orchardists to dispose OF, and which from the
description given will likely prove more trouble
some than those they have so successfully fought
Off in the past. Last season the many prune and
plum orchards in the Palouse country gave
promise OF an abundant yield. AS the season
progressed and the fruit approached maturity,
it discovered that all OF ii ruined, either
it dropped from the tree in immature and still
hali-rotten condition, or hanging to the limb de-
cayed there before ripening.
The most psrplexing thing about the matter
was that the reason for this diseased condition
of the fruit was not visible, nor was there any
sign by which the miscreant bug or worm could
be identified. The fruit was not stung, and
there was no worm or outward sign of specific
trouble. The fruit would just be spoiled and
that would end it, though in most cases the
stem was also discovered to be decayed At last
it was surmised that little bug, closely resemb-
ling the lightning bug in appearance, and
when flying red in color, was the new pest, but
no method was devised to prevent his ravages
and the prune and plum crops of those sections
were totally ruined. few specimens of the
new pest were secured by Mr.. lessee and sent to
Professor Riley, the government entomologist at
Washington
No report has yet been received from Professor
Riley. The new pest was, 1t is thought, the
same red bug that was noticed in such num-
bers in this section last summer but SO far as
known did no damage.
