sary in this report to attempt a restatement of
the reasons for doing so. 1t is enough to say
that the tariff upon wool, while bringing no
real benefit to the American wool-grower, least
of all to the American farmer who, in any bal
ancing of accounts, must that he yearly
pays out good dollar for every doubtful dime
he may receive under its operation, has
disastrously hampered our manufactures and
made cruel and relentless war upon the health,
the comfort and the productive energy of the
American people.
Logs are already on the free list We have
gone step farther and put undressed lumber
generally on that list This may serve to
cheaper and improve the dwelling houses of
some OF our people, but it is justified If it shall
accomplish nothing more than to delay the
rapid destruction OF American forests. We
have also placed hemp and fax unhacked
on the free list for the reasons
stated above, that we may give to the
American workingman untaxed material to
workywith and that we may give the finished
product as far as possible, to the consumer
with but d single tax, and tina. a moderate one,
instead of d medley and emulation OF taxes
gathered during the process of the production.
In addition to tAese so-called raw materials
we have released Sxom tarrif duties certain
important articles and>xnanufactures which we
have shown our capacity to produce cheaper
than any other country. such as pig copper
and the more importaft agricultural
implements. Any article or manufac-
tuTe WHICH Gun sustain Tie Vi
like foreign articles in other markets,>can de-
fy such competition in the home markersand
is not protected by the duty. but by its ownfhS
trinsic superior cheapress and quality. The
only effect of duty on such articles is to en-
able those who make them to charge higher
prices to the citizene of their country
than they charge Is foreigners, and this has
been VIGOROUSLY tie case with 10th copper
and many agricultural implements. In
adjusting dutiS upon what may be
called the fms led product we have tried
to impose such rates as will not destroy or dis
tress any Of ouH home industries on the one
hand, nor on thf other secure to them an OPP
pressive monopoly of theo home market. For
this rule we heye the recognized authority
both of well kind yn and leading tariff reformers
and of those Will in days past were considered
moderate prote@ Eionists.
1t is neither Unnecessary nor practicable in
this report to s1kecify the particular reductions
VIC have made tnpon the long list OF articles
that still remain in the dutiable list. The tn
bles which have been prepared for use Of mem
bers OF the house and heretofore outlined give
information as To- manages.

Day after day had passed bringing

valley. The sun rose every morning
upon clear sky and every evening
sank down behind .the brown hills in
perfect blaze of glory. The drought
neld full sway; tanks were dry, cis-
terms were drained, and for the thirsty
cattle in the parching pastures there
was left only the waters of the little
creek, that, skirting the town. bore on
the river the salt and sulphurous flow
from Lampas'as never-failing springs.
From north and south and east and
west came cowboys on their bucking
oronchos, with whoop and halloo,
driving their believing herds through
che narrow streets to the cool creek
side.
One quiet evening down the western
shlll-slope came a band in full swing,
the dry tgrass breaking crisply be-
meath the cattle's tread and the fine
dust stirred into n dense cloud.
Straight on to the eastward toward the
ford spurred the leading horseman,
calling out his musical halloo. But the
refreshing smell of the salt water near
at hand reached the nostriIs of the
thirsty cattle and down an unpro-
tected alleyway leading southwark
the head of the band turned sharply.
In moment, with digging of spurs,

A man coming through the alley
from the other end saw the onrushing
drove and waited, looking about him
frightened and helpless.

there" shouted cowboy.
Come off; he's only tramp. Let
him run for it," called the leader, cut
ting at the man with his quirt as he
galloped past. Clear out of this, can't
you?"
AT first the man only stared. Then.
reaching up his arm, he grasped the
stout limb of a mesquite under which
he was standing and pulled himself up
into the tree. his long legs dangling.
''Talle in your shanks, You bloomin'
coward said the cowboy, squirting
past. There was a sharp whistle as the
RATA sped through the air, and the
man in the tree felt the well-aimed
rope whirr across his feet, cutting and
burning into the thin ankles that
showed between the ragged trowsers
and low. Hopping shoes.
But there was someone else in the
narrow street besides the tramp who
saw with CONSERVATION the onrushing
maddened cattle. A child-a little
