Department Ftgures.
Mr.. Garret A. Hobart, nominee OF
the repu blican party for vice president,
ON his return from the convention, said
protection would be the main issue OF
the campaign.
At Canton Maj. Mckinley made two
speeches, both on protection, neither
making reference to the financial ques-
tion.
What has McKinleyism done for the
country that IL should offer so much
cause for congratulation?
The Mckinley tariff bill was signed
October /. 1890, and went into effect
October 0, 1890. 1t did not repeal the
republican tariff act OF lss3--on,y
such sections as were inconsistent
with it.
Each one of the tariff trusts was re-
ouested TO write ont the section reiat-
inc 10 itself as il wished the tarin law
10 read. and the work OF Mr.. Mckinley
and his committee was limited TO ar
ranging the section submitted by the
tariff trusts as amendatory OF the OLD
law, and to harmonizing conhicting
trust interests.
In its platform the repupiican P"i"
had pledged itself to the tariff trusts
TO "check imports" The bill was
drafted to check imports" that inter
fered with protected mills, and each
tariff trust so framed its section that
the 1000 600 farmers in excess OF the
number required to feed the people OF
the United States should be heavily
fined if they attempted to exchange
their surplus farm products (averaging
5000, 900, 600 yearly for anything the

MILK PERMITS REVOKED.
Health Officer investigates TIL
Scarlet Fever Cases.

DR.. W. c. Fowler. of the health office,
who made an inspection Of two dairy
farms In Maryland as heretofore noted
In The Times, suspected of having occa-
81 oned several cases of scarlet fever
through the sale in the city of infected
milk, has returned and submitted his
report to Dr.. Woodward.
One OF the two dairies is that of w II.
Michael at Lime Kiln, Md, the other
that OF Thomas Z. Holmes, at Randolph,
Md. While, from the investigation made,
1t cannot be conclusively shown that the
fever originated there, the permits issued
to each OF the parties named will be
revoked, on the grounds that the premises
were not cleanly. nor were they otherwise
maintained according to the regulations
prescribed by the health department under
the milk law.
Neither farm will be restored to the
permitted list until they are put in thor
Ough order, in all respects conforming
to the requirements.
In discussing the matter yesterday, Dr.
Woodward again referred TO the want
of funds for the proper enforcement of
the law. The two cases mentioned he
thought, emphasized the need of an ap-
priatiOn to pay inspectors to visit dairy
farms beyond the District lines.
The conditions found to exist at the two
places visited by DR.. Fowler are not
tolerated locally, but there is no protec-
ton for District citizens against the
Maryland and Virginia establishments,
since they cannot be kept under suryeil-
lance.
DR.. Woodward wants a sufficient force
of inspectors to enable them to maintain
the same supervision OF those outside
who sell milk in the District as is had of
the local dairies and dealers.
