TIE OINGLEY FILL.

The Dingley tariff bill is meeting
with the stubborn resistance OF the
Democrats in the House. It's in
consistencies and taxing powers for
the benefit Of the man ufacturers who
rallied around McKiniey's standard
in the presidential campaign are
being exposed to the American
people. Congressman Robinson of
Indiana IN closing u speech on the
bill tho other day spoke as follows
regarding its taxing powers:
II this measure is passel by this
Congress and signed by the President,
the American citizen can well exclaim,
In the language of an E:glishman OF
long ago: "a tariff tax ON everything
that enters the mouth, covers the
back, or that is placed under foot;
taxes upon everything that Is pleasant
to see, hear. feel, smell, and taste;
taxes on raw, material and every fresh
value that is given to it by the in
dustry Of man. A tax on everything
on the earth and on the waters under
the earth; on the sauce that pampers
mans appetite, and the drug that re-
stores him to health; on the brass
nails OF the coffin, and the ribbons of
the bride. Under this law the school
boy will spin his taxed top; the beard
less ourh will ride his tariff-taxed
horse, sit on tariff saddle, and will
guide the animal on to extra exertion
with protected. whip. The dying
American will pour out his medicine.

bottle that pays 40 per cent, into a
spoon that pays 80 per cent; will
throw himself back Oh his bed that
pays 90 per cent, and expires In the
hands of his physician, VINO charges
him by indirection, on account of
these tariff duties, a larger fee for the
privilege Of putting him to death. But
now that he is dead, you say, he Will
be taxed no more. The end is not vet:
his body Is placed in taxed and pro-
tected coffin. hauled in a taxed and
protected hearse, drawn by taxed and
protected horses, and lie is laid away
and surely will be taxed no more.
But the end is not yet. His virtues
are handed down to posterity on
taxed and protected tombstone, and
then' and not till then, is he gathered
to the home of his fathers to ba taxed
no more"

Hammers are represented on the
monuments of Egypt, twenty centuries
before our era. They greatly resem-
bled the hammer now in use, save that
there were no claws on the back for
the extraction Of nails. The first ham,
mer was undoubtedly a stone held in
the hand. Claw hammers were ill.,
vented some time during the middle
ages. Illuminated manuscripts of the
eleventh century represent carpenters
with claw hammers. Hammers are Of
all sizes, from the dainty instruments
used by the jeweler, which weigh less
than half an ounce, to the gigantic
fifty-ton hammer of shipbuilding estab-
lishments, some of which weigh as
much as fifty tons and have a falling
force of from ninety to 100. Every
trade has its own hammer and its OVID
way of using 1t.
