DingIey's Tariff Bill.
From the New York Herald Qnd)

1t seems Incredible that even the present
intensely partisan congress can dare to
propose a new tariff bill which imposes
high and barbarous ''protectionist" duties
on all imported raw woods, and which, if
1t should become a law, would throw our
wooden manufacturers back into the old
slough of despond in which they had been
wallowing for thirty years until the Will
son law gave them free raw materials. The
Dingley tariff bill is worthless. as q. revem-
ne measure but 1t is a very serious men
ace to all the labor and capital employed
in American wooden industries.

SO irresistibly funny were the yarns that
Abe told there that, SAID the narrator,
who used to be one of the boys, "when-
