The Wilson tariff bill is acceptable to
the English manufacturer and the Cana
dian producer however hard it
may be upon our own manufacturer,
farmer, wool grower or wage Garner.

The London Times sees in the new

upon which dwell more than 10000, 900

can to give farmers of other countries

The Democratic Tariff.

The tariff bill prepared by the Demo-
cratic members of the Ways and Means
Committee of the House has been made
public. Its provisions. had been kept
from tie Republican members of the
same committee. 1t is as thoroughly in
interest of free trade as Democratic
ingenuity can make it.
The tariff on sugar is reduced from
IL to Ia cent per pound aud the bounty
on sugar produced in this country is to
be reduced forS years when it will cease
The wooden schedule has been reduced
most largely on the cheap grades and on
no grade is the duty to be higher than
10 per cent and material reduction is
made in cotton goods.
Among the articles on the free list
are wool coal, iron ore, lumber, agri-
cultural implements. charcoal, cotton
ties, fresh fish, eggs, fruits, green, ripe
or dried, ice, lard, milk, paper stock,
grass seeds, wood, plants, trees,

have been few changes needed in the bill

THANKSGIVING POEM.

Iiurrah for Thanksgiving on grandmamma's
farm.
Where the bright winter sunshine IS mellow
and warm,
And the apples lie red on the cold, frosty
ground,
And the bushy tailed squirrels go frisking
around,
And the big yellow pumpkins, like gold in the
sun,
May be kicked and rolled over, like footballs,
for fun;
Where the.chestnuts are thick on the frost bit.
ten trees,
And a merry heart Jingle is in the north breeze.
llurrah for the day Of all good days the best,
When people and dumb beasts are glad and at
rest
And peace and good cheer are abroad in the
land.
And the blessings of living come warm from
Coils hand,
Away for jolly good time on the brooks,
Then back to good conduct, good lessons and
books.

BsTEY ORGAN COMPANY.
Copy of a Circular Issued to Their
Agents Today.
OFFICE OF EsTEY ORGAN Co.,
October g. 1904


To Our AGENTS.
You are aware that we have made an ex-
hibition at Chicago, and we have to ac-
quaint you with the circumstances which
have attended the same.
1t has not been our custom to compete
for premiums or enter for awards, and in
the present exhibition the Estey organs
were entered for exhibition only.
The same is true of the Estev pianos.
but in regard to the tuning forks, which
was loan exhibit and made at the request
OF DIR. Peabody, chief of the department of
liberal arts, our Mr.. Fuller, who made i'm
provements in tuning forks and had been
connected with the matter of establishing
International pitch, did enter for awards
Concerning the organs we will say that
they were of rare merit, and the interior
construction of several of them was upon
new system greatly in advance of any
thing that has heretofore been done in
reed organs. A portion of our patents
have been issued, and others are now
pending in the patent office. 1t has been
matter of general comment that the
organs themselves, both in matter of eX-
ternal appearance, internal arrangements
and musical effects, were of such eXtraor-
binary character that the public were en-
titled to know more about them, but al
though pressed very hard, we have been
unwilling to change our position, or to
enter the list of medalists.
An award having been made the Estey
Organ company, it is no more than right
that you should know the result with the
attendant circumstances. We learn from
the newspapers that some one in connec-
ton with the house of Estey Il Camp,
Chicago, authorized the jury to examine
the instruments. We were not present
and have not yet learned the particulars,
but when we have an opportunity to do
so we shall communicate with YOU further
in regard to this matter.

Interesting Pension Figures.
The Highest Number Has Been Reach
ed, Now There VIII BE "A Decline.

The Highest Number Has Been Reach
ed, Now There VIII BE "A Decline.
The high:water mark as to the number
of pensioners on the rolls and the amount
of money to be expended per year has evil
IDENTITY been reached. A statement pre-
pared at the pension bureau shows that
July l there were 966, OH pensioners of
all kinds borne upon the rolls. September l
there were only 964 ,303, showing a net
decrease of 1914 pensioners. This is an
average net decrease of S07 per month,
and if extended through the year would
show a net decrease of 1854. This
is the first time since the war that
a net decrease to the rolls has been
shown. 1t is estimated that the loss
to the rolls during the present fiscal yeaI
by death, remarriage, minors reaching the
nOn-pensionable age, etc, will reach $4,000,
as against 81, 900 last year, while the addi
tions to the rolls will not reach much more
than 10000. These figures mark an epoch
in pension matters long expected, but ha:
required about 30 years to reach.

oh! h q Difference.

While on his beat at an early hour this
morning, Policeman Alrick stumbled upon
the PROSTATE form of a man, lying in the
snow nea the DeMers avenue bridge.
When the officer took hold of him and
told him to "cOme along" the man made
no stir, and to all appearances was on the
supposed to be dead" order. A hack was
hailed and with the assistance of the
driver and policeman, the partially frozen
man was taken to the police station and
thawed out. When able to realize
where and who he was, he gave his name
as William KiIlolOne. His speech has a
French accent, and William confessed
that when he laid down on the snow. he
was a tipsy Frenchman.-Grand Forks

That's Right.

Trail County Times: What a saving
it would be if the people of North Da-
kota would use their native coal. It is
something of a drain on our cash to pay
out a million a year for coal mined in
Pennsylvania and other states. This
was done last winter and MORE. Our
coal supply is ample for a century; the
mines should be developed and the coal
distributed by the railways.
