THE NEW TARIFF LAW.

Receipts Are Larger Than Under the He
kinney Measure-TO Stop Gold Exports
Figures concerning the operation OF
the new tariff law during the first
six months of its operation are now
available. They justify those friends
of the new law who have stood firm in
its defense amid all the storm of criti-
cism aimed against it, it is well I'M
derstood by everyone that a great
diminution of receipts from internal
revenue sources was inevitable after
the enactment of the new law. This
could not have been averted, for manu-
facturers always anticipated any addi-
ton to the tax on spirits and other in
ternal revenue articles, and loss of re-
ceipts are sure to follow. This loss Is
temporary, however, and in this case
the receipts will soon be up to and in
excess of the old mark. In the most
important customs feature of the
operation of the new law, the figures
give great satisfaction to the friends
of the measure. The new law went
into effect August 2S, 1894, and by COM
pairing the receipts of September, DC
tober, November and December, 1894,
and January and February of this
year with the corresponding six months
of the preceding years it is easy to de-
termine whether the new law has
given an increase or decrease of Gus
toms receipts. The following figures
show the customs receipts for the six
months in question, month by month,
under the new law, and during the
corresponding months of the preced-
ing year under the Mckinley law:

OKLAHOMA SCHOOL LAND.

Thirty Thousand Acres Added to the Ter
tory by a Recent Act of Congress.
WASHINGTON, March 8.-The provi-
sion in the Indian bill allowing Okla
homa to select school lands from In
dian reservations, adds 80, 900 acres to
the school fund. The general law pro-
vided that certain sections should bs
set apart for school lands, but the
allotments to Indians covered 10000
acres that would have be-
longed to the school lands, and
this called for legislation to al
low the territory to select from other
Indian reservations an amount equal
to that covered by the Indian allot-
ments. AS the secretary of the interior
is not in a hurry to open the Kickapoo
country to settlement, it is suggested
that it would be a good plan to select
these lands from that reservation.

EFFECTS OF HIGH TARIFF.
An Illustration OF the Folly of the Pro
lection Policy.

lection Policy.
These are times when those of the
Mckinley tariff school should be in
high feather. Their congratulations
should be cabled to France and the
ties of amity between the two nations
should be declared stronger than ever
The fraternal hand should also be ex-
tended to Germany, and the little ma
jor who IS the high priest of protection
here should at least be given the hon.
age of a patron saint there. The doc
trines which have been preached to our
farmers, our stockraisers, and all the
other producers in this country of un-
limited resources, are being practically
applied by our sister governments of
the eastern continent. They are erect
ing barriers against our commerce Just
as we erected barriers against theirs
during the greater part of q century,
and the republican party must applaud,
or, by opposition, make the acknowl-
edgment OF its own political heresies.
France is now saying to her millions
of people that they must be content
with a poorer quality of beef and pay
more for it, in order to protect the
stock-growers of their own country,
and properly stimulate an Infant" in
dustry. ALI must suffer that few may
prosper. There is no advance in wages,
no compensation of any kind for the
additional burden thus imposed. The
masses are forced by the strong arm of
the law to pay tribute to the few. It
is intimated that there is to follow
this blow to American trade and to the
vast majority of the French people an
other equally telling upon both. There

Horrible Accident at Aurora, Mo-, in Which
One Man Is Killed.

One Man Is Killed.
AURORA, Mo-, March 8.-A terrible
accident occurred in this camp about
10 o'clock Wednesday night. Two
miners, named Matt Blunt and John
Grace, were engaged in drilling a hole
in their mine, when the drill struck a
charge of giant powder that had been
put in and failed to go off. The powder
was exploded, killing Blunt and seri-
ously injuring Grace about the eyes.
The upper portion of Blunt's body was
torn into fragments. one arm and the
top of his head was blown off and his
entrails scattered about the drift.
Grace had hold of the steam drill at
the time of the explosion, while Blunt
was sitting upon box a few feet from
the hole. Grace will recover.

Mr.. wilson's Popularity.

If William L. Wilson had been ap-
pointed to the Mexican mission, Mis-
souri, would have been as much graft
fed as if the honor had fallen to one of
our own citizens. A prominent Mis-
souri, democrat was mentioned for the
cabinet Office vacated by Mr.. Bissell.
The gossip seems to have been without
foundation. Gov. Francis has stated
that he has never thought of the Office
at all. While Missouri would have
been pleased if the portfolio had been
offered to that able and distinguished
member of her aggressive democracy,
we are all joined in the applause that
Mr.. Wilson's appointment calls forth
from the ranks of the democratic party.
His disinterested devotion to the par
tvs principles has given him the affec-
ton of all democrats. No honor is too
exalted for him. Mr.. Cleveland's adj
ministration will be stronger than be-
fore-not because Mr.. Bisseu was not a
successful officer, but because Congress
man Wilson is an older soldier in the
field of national democracy.-St. Louis

1t will be seen that the customs re-
ceipts during the last half year, under
the new law, were greater in every
month than the old, and in the aggre-
gate were nearly % per cent. greater
than those of the corresponding months
of the previous year under the Nc
Kinley law. The figures showing the ex-
act quantity of dutiable and free i'm
portations for the half year have not
been completed, but those obtainable
at this time indicate that the dutiable
importations for the first half year
under the law will be from $50, 600, 600
to $40, 200, 900 greater in value than
those under the corresponding months
of the last year under the Mckinley
law, while there is also an increase in
importations of non-dutiable articles
Thus it is apparent that the new law
is increasing free importations, in
creasing dutiable importations, in
creas1ng customs receipts, and will in
crease the internal revenue receipts
when operations under it assume a nor
NAL condition.-Chicago Herald.

In the Grasp Of that Dread Disease. Con-
sumptiOn.-LifeG Given Back Almost
Miraculous.
Fortunately, perhaps, the Consumptive
does not realize his own condition. His
is a disease of continual waste until he
meets death that is in reality one of
starvation.
1t is now generally conceded that this
disease is incurable, - that is, by any
known medicine. Change of climate. or
some life-infusing food that will give new
flesh. blood. and strength, and induce the
various organs of the body to assume their
normal functions, = this is tie only hope.
The only way to do this effectually is to
give the patient Bovinine, that great raw
food product, the greatest concentration
of the life-giving elements of raw beef
known to modern science In this con-
nection the results obtained by DR.. j. II.
Head of Atlanta, Ga, in the treatment of
a case of consumption, are interesting.
DIR. Head relates briefly how man
about thirty-fve years of age came to him
for treatment. He had lost forty pounds
in weight in six months; he suffered with
a bad cough and experienced severe night
sweats; he was unable to do any work;
most of his family had died of consump-
ton. and on examination his right lung
was found to be seriously affected, and as
the doctor remarked, He was in a good
way to have an early funeral"
But note what happened. He was given
Bovinine. In two weeks he had gained
seven pounds, his appetite had returned,
he was able to do good days work, and
most of the distressing symptoms had
vanished and at the time of writing the
doctor felt sure of a complete cure.
This is but one of many similar cases.
Bovinine will give new life and strength,
make new blood and flesh, stop waste,
ward off disease, and turn the current of
life's river again into its natural channel.
Give it one trial while there is yet hope.
