FARMERS AND THE NEW TARIFF

The lamentations of the high pro
tectiye tariff newspapers over the
sufferings of the farmer, because
wool goes upon the free list, would
naturally induce one to believe that
wool was all that the farmer had to
sell and that he had nothing to buy
that would be cheapened under the
new tariff law But the free list
shows articles that should enable
the farmer to recoup all that he
loses, if he loses anything, by rea-
son of free wool.
The farmer will have free lumber,
lath and shingles and a reduction Of
rs per cent in the duty on furni-
ture, which paid duties amounting
in 1893 to- 81, 143, 600. He will also
have free binding Irvine, ,bagging,
burlaps and grain bags made of bur-
laps. In 1893 the duties paid on
grain bags alone was 1886, 900, He
will also have free of duty plows,
tooth and disk harrows, harvesters
reapers, agricultural drills, mowers,
horse rakes and threshing machines
The duties on women's and chill
dren's dress goods, coat-linings and
similar fabrics have been greatly
reduced. In 1893 the duties paid on
this class of goods amounted to
$l8, $50, 900, which, at an al valo-
rem rate, was over 1902 per cent, but
the new bill reduces the rate to 40
and 80 per cent. The duty on wool
en- cloth and worsted goods is re-
duced one-half, while the rate on
knit wooden fabrics is cut down from
"a to 40 per cent.
There is no pretense that the Sen
ate bill is an ideal measure or that
there is not much room for inn
provement in it, but so far as the
farmers are concerned there are
many compensations for the wool
duty, even if putting wool on the
free list shall prove harmful to their
interests, which is not likely to be
the case. ~ Chicago Record.

SENATOR JONES TALKS.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, Aug. 25.
Senator Jones, in an interview with
the Washington correspondent of
the Arkansas Gazette, explains at
length the part he took in prepar-
ing the Senate tariff bill. He says
that the Senators representing the
sugar trust we're so persistent in
their demands for a tariff on sugar
that to obtain their support for the
bill the committee was compelled to
yield to their demands. He says
that he consulted the President
and the Secretary Of the Treasury
and both indorsed the plan agreed
to by the comittee to frame tariff
bill that would receive the votes of
forty-three Democratic Senators.
to accomplish this purpose he says it
was necessary to change the sugar
schedule from a specific to an adva-
lorum duty, and that at no time
was Senator Hills vote considered
as at all likely to be cast in favor of
the bill.
He says there are many things in
the Senate bill that are not salts
factory to him, and that if he could
have had his own way he would
have raised the revenue needed
from incomes, whisky, bear and to-
bacco, and not from suar or from
wooden goods; and when imposing
tax on sugar he would not have inn
posed an extra tax on refined SUI
gar
4 resisted all these changes with
all my power" he says, "as did my
colleague of the subcommittee,
Senator Vest, and we made them
as small as possible, and at last only
accepted such as we're absolutely
necessary to the passage of the bill,
The bill as passed is, however, a
great departure from McKinleyism,
and is a great measure Of tariff re-
form. speak deliberately and adj
yisedly when say that it will re-
duce the burdens Of taxation hun
dreds of millions of dollars annually
while it increases the revenues Of
the Government 1t is the very re-
verse of the Mckinley bill. That
reduced revenues by increasing tax
alton, while this will increase reve-
n1es by decreasing taxation"

Situation in Nicaragua.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25. Neither
the state nor the navy department
is informed officially of the stirring
events reported to have occurred at
Bluefelds, resulting in the arrest
Of British Vice Consul Hatch and
some Of the American residents by
the Nicaraguans They are anx-
iously awaiting official news, but
meanwhile are satisfied that the
American naval commanders are
fully equal to the task Of protect
ing all Americans in Bluehelds who
are entitled to such protection.
BY direction Of the state depart
ment Capt O'Neill of the Marble
head repeatedly warned the Ameri-
can residents at Bluefields that if
they NEEDLE in the broils between
the Nicaraguans and Mosquitoes and
take up arms against the former
they violate the laws of the coun-
try and they will withdraw them
selves from the protection of their
own country,
All our government can do consis-
tently is to see that the arrested
Americans are properly treated
and tried speedily and receive exact
Justice. All this will probably be
looked after by United States Min
ister Baker at Managua, where the
prisoners have doubtless arrived by
this time.

Avoiding Pain and Peril.

Defensive measures against the

a decisive blow at the start at that
dangerous and relentless enemy,

resorting in time to Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which checks per-
manently the progress of the mala-

painful and possibly dangerous,
against which medical skill and the
resources of materia medica are ar

which proves that the Bitters neu-
tralizes the rheumatic poison and
checks its further development in
the system. For malarial and kid

Are You a Suffer 6
|. P. Tayer and Solomon Davis Speak to Victims of These Terrible Diseases.
From Rheumatism or Neuralgia

E. P. Tayer of East Nassau, N. r., says: ''l wish it possible to speak per- sonally to every rheumatic victim, for would tell them of my terrible experi- ence and the relief and cure found in a simple lemedy.
 When I first saw in the newspapers 'Rheumatism can be cured, 1 was loath to believe it, but when found that the statement was made by Dr David Kenne- dy of Rondout, N. r., l inquired into it and upon his advice l began to use Dr David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. My condition at that time seemed hopeless. l had suffered for 15 years with inf1ani- matory rheumatism. My physician said 1 would be cripple for life, but it was not ordained that way, for 1 had not used Favorite Remedy long before l was convinced that it was the right medicine and in a short while 1 was cured. That was three years ago and l have not felt a trace of the disease since."
 Solomon Davis of North kortright, N. r., suffered awfully from neuralgia and loss of sleep, as is frequently the case with elderly people. In speaking to the writer he said: II found that Dr kennedy's Favorte Remedy relieved the bowels, improved the circulation of the blood and the old pain left me altogeth- er."
 As a prominent physician recently said "There is no reason in suffering with rheumatism or neuralgia, for Dr Kennedy's Favorite Remedy will cure them" All druggists sell it.

JAMES SEXTON & SON.
THEIR GREAT OFFER TO ALL NEEDING
 CEMETERY WORK.

As will be seen by reference to the
 full page announcement of James Sexton
 x Son of Bridgeport, unrlvalled op- portunities are being offered by that firm to all desiring anything in the way of monumental or building work. Stat uary work is a speciality with them and many handsome evidences of their skill can be seen in the cemeteries in Bridge port and vicinity. The headquarters of this progressive firm is on Crescent ave- nue, near Wheeler & Wilson's, with a branch at St Michae's cemetery, Strat- ford. Those persons plating cemetery work should place their orders at once as the prices of granite and marble are advancing yearly. You can be sure of getting as low price from Sexton & Son as any responsible house can give, their facilities are so great. Besides they carry fully $20, ,000 worth of finished granite and marble monuments and headstones from which selections can be made. This business, which was established in 1870, has grown to large proportions.
 Sexton & Son have repeatedly been awarded medals for superior workman ship, nOticeably a gold one in Philadel- phia in 1876 for showing the smallest monument in the world, which is made of granite 2S-inches high, weighing only 2S pounds, and bearing the smallest mouldings known i'll the world and carved out of one piece of stone. The workmanship of their skilled mechanics has been noticed for years, and their cx- perience over the entire continent has aided them in the selection of designs and quality, so that practically they are above competition by ordinary firms.
 The firm constantly keep on hand all varieties of imported and American gran ite as well as marbles from the most famous quarries known. Study the prices as given for the different designs, make your selections and leave your orders without delay as you may never have such an opportunity to secure such good work at reasonable rates again.

GOOD WORK OF DEPUTY sBERIFFs.

Two fresh Huntington young men,
 named Hurd Burr and Dave Bassett, are
 now languishing in jail, as the result of an experience at horse stealing. The of | ficcrs did excellent work and brought the | culprits to justice. 1t appears that Burr and Bassctt first went to the barn of Charles Hinman and stole his horse, and from the barn of Andrew Sherman, a neighbOr of Hinman's, stole a sleigh.
 They procured a set of harness from the barn of W. II. PIatt and another from the barn of a Mr Seabury. All of these gentlemen live in Bethel, near the New town line. The thefts were discovered Sunday morning, and Monday morning Deputy Sheriff HallOck of Bethel, with Deputy Sheriff Glover and Ex-Sheriff the track. They caught Burr and Bas- sett near the Huntington fair grounds about 9 o'clock Monday night and arriv- ed with their prisoners at Newtown at midnight. They were taken to Bethel for hearing. The captives confessed the thefts and said that they had traded the horse in Westvile. They had when arrested the rest Cf the stolen property and also the horse for which they traded in their possession. They were con- mitted to jail on three different counts, burglary horse stealing and simple theft.
 Fhe bonds were $500 for horse stealing. $5U0 for burglary and $l00 for simple theft, imposed by Bethel justice. They were lodged in the jail in Bridgeport, Monday afternoon.

THE PEOPLES CORNER,

Every one seems to have been seize q with q spirit of economy this year. Now it one thing to ''economze" and another to "economize wisely" One of the easiest things to be foolishly eco- nOmical about is footgear. It never pays to buy cheap article at a cheap price. True economy consists in buying where you can buy the best goods at the lowest price. A good pair of shoes will out wear three pairs of the so called "cheap" ones and the first cost will not be very much more, For in the cheapest footgear It's always the labor that you pay for, and wear that is sacrificed. The 25 or 50 cents pair more that good article costs is always put into the material, fit and wear. In another column II. N. Ayres of Bridgeport mentions prices on all kinds of goods but advises you to buy as good pair as possible.
