The House made quick work Of
meeting the recommendation OF Pres
ident Mckinley for currency com
mission. Tie special message was
read Just As soon as Speaker Reed had
signed the Dingley tariff bill; the
committee on rules reported special
rule giving one hour for the discus
sion of Representative Stones bill au-
thorizing the President to appoint a
currency commission, which had been
previously introduced and al the close
of the one hours debate the bill was
passed. The Senate took no action on
the bill.

the change, says Dun's Rerie,c. The
great strength in stocks, particularly
in those of the granger list, reflects as
surance of heavy crops. The remark
able rise in wheat, Notwithstanding
that assurance, is based on heavy
buying for export and belief that for
eign demands will be large. To these
must be added another element of
confidence scarcely observed a week
ago. The heavy increase in receipts
of gold, whether from one side of the
Alaska border or the other, swells de-
posts at the minis and in the banks
of this country, and if the yield from
new regions answers current expecta
tons, may have an influence akin to
that of gold discoveries in California.
The one retarding force, the strike of
coal miners, has caused closing of a

are still pushed with hope.

The tariff bill as finally agreed to by
the House and Senate conferees is
extremely satisfactory to everybody
except the democrats. They are un
happy because the agreement de-
prives them of their last opportunity
to charge that the bill is favorable to
the sugar trust, and also because it
gives to the wool producers the full
protection which they had expected
from the House bill, and deprives their
importing friends of the opportunity
of bringing in wool at the lower rates
named by the Senate amendment.

The New Tariff Law.

The Dlngley tariff bill received the
signature of President Mckinley last
Saturday, and is now law, and the
extraordinary session of the 55th
Congress, having accomplished what
it was called together to do, has ad
journed, and its members have gone
home to listen to what their constitu
ents have to say about their work.
So far as the republicans are con-
cerned, there is no fear of the peoples
verdict; they have done remarkable
piece of work-one that many con-
sidered Impossible because of the lack
OF repab Aean majority in the Senate.
While there are some things in the
new law that would have been differ
ent if the republicans had had ma
jority of their own in the Senate, il is
distinctly a republican law, at once
reyenua producing aud protective.
The Wilson bill is thing OF the
past, bUtit viii take long time for
the country to recover from its disas-
trous elects. No tariff law since the
Wake -srih OF 80 has ever struck
the iHdlss ries and at the same time the
revenues 3i the country such a stag
gering blow As this same Wilson law.
Our experience under it ought to
teaeh=ehe most devout disciple of
Good IL I'D English free trade that
his theories are not in accord with the
the United States, not to mention tie
necessity OF revenue do not warrant
any approach TO free trade.
The friends OF the new law must not
expect q sudden revival of business,
even though indications already point
to better times; the recovery will
of nece asity be slow. We should be
thankful, for the present at least, that
the instrument of destruction has
been removed, and an instrument of
construction put in its place.
We have neither time nor space to
review the new law in detail 1t is
enough to say that, like all republican
tariffs, the principle of protection is
recognized, and yet the duties are not
SO high but that they will yield ade-
quate revenue.
Were it not for the duties on sugar,
which are purely revenue duties, it is
probable that the average dd rdlorem
rate would be quite as low as that of
the much mahgned Mckinley law of
1890, under which the free list was
larger than under any previous tariff
since the beginning of the govern
ment
Thus the first pledge of the repub-
Hcans, --ade during the campaign of
last sumner, has been kept; let Us
hope Jbat the results will justify the
work and save the country from the
blighti1E effects of another Wilson
German abomination.

ures in town. The constabulary

pense can be saved and the law
better enforced with the cooper
alton of the cities and towns"

"Leave Charleston out of this
interview" the Governor answer
ed. "Charleston is all right"

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for
one purpose, namely, receptacle
for the urine, and as such it is
not liable to any form of disease
except by one of two ways. The
first way is from imperfect action
Of the kidneys. The second way
is from careless local treatment
of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from un.
healthy kidneys is the chief cause
of bladder troubles. SO the
womb, like the bladder, was Gre
ated for one purpose, and if not
doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in
rare cases. 1t is situated back of
and very close to the bladder,
therefore any pain or Inconven-
ience manifested in the kidneys,
back, bladder or urinary passage
is often, by mistake, attributed to
female weakness or womb trou-
BILE of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly,
set your urine aside for twenty
four hours sediment or settling
indicates kidney or bladder trou-
BILE. The mild and the extraordi-
nary effect Of DR.. .Kilmer's Swamp

BRYAN ON PROSPERITY.
His First Utterance After Three
Months of Observation.

Louis Post Dispatch tomorrow
will print n letter from w. j.
Bryan, the first utterance after
three months of travel and OBJ
servation during the return of

he says
"Wheat has risen because the
foreign crop has been exceedingly
short. The fact that silver and
wheat have parted company will
cause no dismay to those who
understand that the law of supply
and demand regulates the price
of both.
"Nothing can better diclose the
weakness of the republican posi-
ton than the JOY manifested by
the republicans over events for
which their administration and
their politics are in no wise re-
sponsible.
"If the republicans desire to
claim credit for the high price
of wheat. they must assume the
