Our Tariff

How many OF u stop to think Of hi
word. tartl, its meaning, from whence
derived aud its application to our every.
day business:
1t would seem that the word would BE-
thoroughly impressed upon our minds.
and in general Way We do understand
il meaning rs applied 10 good, Which
are imported from other countries. but
did it ever strike you That it could be
applied to your daily transaction. with
the grocerymqn and other retail dealer. .
Now this word, taril. takes is name
from the little town. Taria. on the col.t
OF spain, near Gibraltar.
Til, point Of land, which We all
know controls the entrance to the Medi.
tarrancan Sea, WAS occupied ia early
day. by Moorish pirate. who assessed
tribute from al vessel, passing through
the straits Of Gibraltar and in time the
word, tariff, WAS coined, denoting. and
! having the same meaning n the word
tribute
Now, in connection with our daily
business there is legitimate tarin
VII eh the grocer must demand. namely.
a fair profit. but when his earnings on
money invested gets beyond that point,
It becomes piratieal tribute which too
many people are paying at the present
time, as they pass through the straits Of
hard times. No pun intended.)
We are not philanlhropists. have no
presents to make, but have ON hand the
largest stock Of groeerie, in this eoun.
ty. own them at bottom figures, and will
sell them at fair profit. On some
things we are oyerstocked and will
make you prices that will give Us the
money and you the goods,
For limited time we will sell YOU
pure, domestic lard, in pals, at Toe per
lb. We have cellar full of salt pofl,
which we shall sell at Sc per Id. Pear
! line at Zoe is the cheapest and best
washing powder on the market. Corn
starch at 6 cts. Il package, five for Il
quarter, is almost Il loss to the manu-
j faclurcr.
We have quite stock of odd brand,
of tobacco on hand which we shall close
i out at less than cost.
Crackers, following price of flour, are
selling at way down figures.
Have just received fresh lot which we
desire to sell by the barrel at ) cts. Ii.
torurd beef, cooked and pressed, Ii
cts. in large quantities. II cts.
These are a few of our tariff prices, if
they are lower than you have leen pay

Effects of Foods on Milk

OF the Ottawa experiment station on the

as follows;
That when COW is in full milk and full

milk for at least a limited time, even al
though the quality and quantity Of the
food be very deficient.
That when in good condition COW will
take off her body whatever is deficient in
the food, in order to give her normal
quality OF milk.
That an extra supply of nutritious food
at all times increases the quality OF milk
but the percentage OF fat is not in any way
improved by il, il anything the tendency
being rather the other way.
That an eXtra supply OF nutritious food
almost invariably very slightly increases

The Democratic Bill.

The Democratic administration and
Congress after many weary months of
wrangling have succeeded in enacting
a tariil measure such as it is and it will
soon receive the signature of the Presi-
dent or be allowed to become law
without his signature. This bill WAS
secured by the President and the lower
house surrendering completely to the
Senate and adopting the Senate bill
without the change of word or a letter.
This "hop" of the President after the
extraordinary efforts he made to bring
about free coal in the interest of the
Nova Scotia coal trust and to otherwise
change the bill must place him in u hu-
initiating position with his party aud
the country and discredit him as the
great leader he assumes 10 lac ana that
his friends have claimed him to be, and
unconditional surrender by the House
after the brag and bluster iuiulgcd in
by it, orators and leaders for weeks and
months makes the proceeding, of This
popular branch little be ter than cheap
burlesque.
The bill itself is an oatrageouSly I'M
fair and sectional one. About all that
can be said in its favor is that it is less
in accord with Democratic principles
than the House bill and therefore prefer
able to it. President Cleveland himself
in his famous letter to Chairman Wilson
says, in substance, that its enactment
would be party pertily and party dis
honor" 1t is mot in accord with Dem.
oeratc principles or promises" and does
not "bear genuine Democratic badge"
1t involves courageous determinations
and violations of principle" 1t carries
with il the 'inconsistent absurdity" OF
putting the wool of the farmer on the
free list, while it protects "the iron ore
and coal of corporations and capitalists.
1t is "yolative of Democratic principle
and Democratic good faith"
: The bill is essentially sugar trust
bill enacted by the dictatious of that
big monopoly and in Is interest. NJ
wonder Grover Cleveland cries ont in
agony: "How can we face the people after
indulging in such outrageous discrmina-
tons and violations of principles"
The New York Herald says
Il nder compulsion of the darkest aud
foulest conspiracy in the annals of any
nation the House OF Representatives has
passed the Senate tariff bill.
The New York sun says:
The House having thus surrendered
and accepted The party dishonor that
follows party pertidy, and having as
serted its doubtful claim to the posses
sion of the tariff bill and its right to pass
the same and send il direct to the Presi-
dent, if Mr. Cleveland, in his turn,
should take hand in the periidy and
accept his share of the diShonor by
signing the bill he has denounced, or by
otherwise permitting ii to become a law
on what issue will the Democracy 20
into the campaign soon To open for the
control of the Fitty-fourth. Congress
God preserve the party that goes to the
people with such record of pcrlidy,
such ii confession of dishonor.
Will the President sign the bill he has
so emphatically denounced: The gener-
al opinion is that he will either sign it or
allow it to become law without his sig
nature, by remaining in his hands ten
days.

Immediately on passing the Senate
tariff bill Monday, the House passed bills
putting sugar, iron ore. coal and barbed
Wire on the free list. Of course the Sen
AZ will fail to pass them, Senators call
ihesc pop gun bills. This action of
the House was child's play at par with
the boy who said TO another who had
punished him, II know ! can't lick We

There are further developments in the
case of William Howard of Arson. on
Whose premises a large seizure of liquors
was made recently. 1t appears that
Mrs Howard gave the cue TO the w. c..

ton to officers which led to the seizure
This state of things naturally made the

entered complaint against him for as
