Among the provisions of the tariff
bill as it finally passed nothing is
more satisfactory than the additions
to the free list. To untax a necessa-
ry Of life or an essential of industry
is to afford complete relief from arti-
fetal burdens. It leaves no unsoph-
isticated questions as to whether the
foreigner. the importer, the merchant
or the consumer pays the tax. A
free list is tariff reform completed.
The following are the more impor-
tant additions made in the new bill,
as they are enumerated in the New
York World:
Binding Irvine. sulphate of copper,
copper ore and bars. copperas, cot
ton ties, fresh fish, hatters' furs and
plush, cotton gins, salt, burr stones.
timber and lumber. wool, petroleum.
crude and refined; nickel ores. paint
ings. drawing sketches. nursery
stock, farming implements. flax. tow.
hemp. cod oil. ivory unmanufac-
tured. epson and mineral salts.
These articles are all taxed to the
Mckinley law. The total decrease
in duties under the new law. on the
basis of the importations in 1898, has
been estimated at $62, 407 900. But
this does not by any means represent
the entire saving to the people. The
greatest tax under a high tariff is
that which the mine owners and man
ufacturers are able to exact by reason
OF the restraint upon competition.
The saving to consumers will be
many times So 200. 900.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1894-08-24
Bright Prospects,.

The Pittsburg Dispatch, republi-
can, SAYS:
Already reports come from the iron
mills of a large increase of activity
upon the ending of the period OF
doubt and uncertainty concerning
the tariff. People all over the coun.
try, who have been withholding pur-
chase in order that they may act
with knowledge of the future, are
now fastening to get theft orders
filled. One statement is that the or
ders received during the first "a
hours after the passage of the sem
ate bill by the house equalled the
ordinary business of an entire
month. While this may be a roseate
estimate, there is every reason to ex-
pect that the low stocks and hard-pan
prices will produce fair degree of
activity during the fall and winter.
In the iron and steel business, with
the exception OF n few specialties.
the effect of the tariff bill has been
fully discounted, and everything is
ready to go forward on the new basis.
Stocks are low all over the country
The weak elements were all shaken
out of the business by the stringency
of year ago. The uncertainty as
to the tariff is ended. and the threat
OF destructive reductions has been
ended by the demonstration of its
| i'm portance. Loanable funds are
abundant and credit ought to be
good. 1t may take some time for
the entire business community to
get the full confidence indicated by
all these factors. 1t is better on the
whole for the returning activity to
come gradually than with a rush.
But all these influences cooperate
for the resumption of trade move
ments on large scale-it must come
and is coming.
This prospect should not be under
stood as indicating boom and lofty
prices. 1t is we'll to recognize that,
beyond possible moderate apprecia-
ton from the bottom prices of GER
tain staples, the era of low values is
here to stay. Speculation on sweep
ing advances will be unwise and dan
gerous. Industry must reestablish
itself on the basis of narrow margins
and large business. In order that
the industries of Pittsburg can do
this so as to control the situation they
should unite themselves for active
work in the interest of the grand
cheapening of transportation that
will come with the opening of the
Ohio river and Lake Erie canal.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1894-08-24

The water in the Mississippi at St.
Paul has been increased nearly two
feet in depth since Saturday by the
opening Of the government reser-
voirs ut the head waters of the river.
This has been remarkably dry sea-
son for the upper Mississippi. and
without the flow of water from the
reservoirs all navigation would have
ceased before Aug. 1. the movement
of logs would have been terminated
and the Minneapolis mills would
have been running on steam during
part of the summer and all of the
fall as well rs during the winter.
The reservoir system seems to be a
great success. for. besides aiding
navigation, the added volume Of
water which flows from them will
bring to Minnesota log cut from
