competitors in Germany are sending to

him patiently, thanked him for his in
formation and informed him that tn"
matter would be taken under considera-
ton.
ut is unfortunate that the consumers
of the United States have no agent to
represent them in the preparation of the
new tariff.
THE bill as it passed the House is a
New England measure, with sop
thrown in to the farmers in the shape
of increased duties upon eggs, hay, pota-
toes, and other agricultural products, but
what is the good of an additional duty of
/ cent a dozen upon eggs, or another
dollar ton on hay, or duty of 10 cents
a bushels on potatoes, when, under the
new wooden schedule, the farmer will
have to pay S. more for every suit Of
clothes.
"Those who have examined the bill
carefully in comparison with pre-
vious legislation assert that the rates of
duty it carries are the highest ever i'm
posed by any tariff law ever passed by
the Congress of the United States. The
amendment which was adopted to-day,
providing that the bill shall go into eff
feet tomorrow, was intended to be Il
bluff in order to brighten importers so
that they will not fill up their warehouses
with foreign goods before the new rates
go into effect, but it will not work. Sec
ton of article | of the constitution says:
mo bill of attainder or ex-post facto law
shall be passed." and that clause cannot
be construed to permit a tariff bill or
any other legislation to take effect before
it receives the Presidents approval. The
Supreme Court has already decided that
question and the Senate will knock out
the provision in short order

THE INSURANCE COMPANIES.

The insurance business of North caro-
lima is much larger than is generaIiy
s,,uposed. 1t has grown wonderfully
with the last decade. We are told that
the State pays out annually two million
dollars net in premiums, and receives
in return therefor about one million
dollars.
If these figures are correct this drain
upon the insurers is so great that the
wisest men among us ought to put their
heads together to arrange for protection
at less cost. One hundred per cent
profit on the insurance business is
drain no people can long stand.
The Insurance Convention, called AT
Southern Pines on the 2Sth of this month,
ought to bring together the men who
have given most thought to this subject
in the State. The object ought not to be
one of prescription of outside companies,
but it ought to be one guided by the
sole purpose of securing the greatest
protection at the lowest possible cost.
Protection perfect and absolute in case
of loss ought to be the paramount con-
sideration. No selfish or narrow con-
siderations ought to prevail. 1t ought
to be a gathering of men who will seek
by the experience of Georgia and Nlr-
ginia to encourage and increase the
local oonDaniaS To secure more fayOra BILE
rates from outside companies doing busI-
ness in the State.
We print elsewhere letter from
Southern Pines showing the true objects
of the convention. We printed few
DAVIS ago editorials from the Baltimore
Sun and Savannah News showing that
this convention has attracted interest in
all sections of the South.

and graduated in medicine at Yale.
His unusual talent soon brought him
reputation and prominence among his
professional brethren. First he was
elected to the professorship of anatomy
and surgery in the Vermont University.
Next he was appointed lecturer on
materia medica and medical botany in
Dartmouth College. The next year he
was chosen professor of the chair then
vacated by Prof. Robby, and occupied
the chair, the most important one in the
country, at the time when he first formu-
lated his most remarkable prescription.
In view of the overwhelming testimony
to the value of Paines celery compound
that has recently appeared from men and
women of national reputation, the picture
of Prof. Phelps is particularly interest
ing. .-s-
The fact is. Paine's celery compound
| is not patent medicine; it is not a sar-
saparilla; it is not a mere tonic; it is not
an ordinary nervine-it is as far beyond
them all as the diamond is superior to
cheap glass.
1t makes people well. 1t is the one
true specific recognized and prescribed
to-day by eminent practitioners for dis
eases arising from debilitated nervous

Observation-Disclosures than to any one man
In every walk of life, among the
highest fticeheldrers at Washington, i'll
the homes of the best people in the large
cities, among the every day folks of the
country, families in comfortable circum-
stances. families that live from hand to
mouth and could not, if they wished,
afford the services of any but an ordi-
nary physician-everyw where i have met
people to whom Paine's celery com
pound has been n blessing"
The story of the life-work of this giant
among men has been often told and is
familiar to most readers. The likeness
above is probably the best portrait of him
yet printed.
1t was the world famed discovery by
Prof. Phelps of an infallibe cure for
those fearful Ills that result from an
impaired nervous system and impure
blood which has endeared the great doc
tor to the world, and made his life an
era in the practice of medicine.
Prof. Phelps was born in Connecticut

system. Prof. Phelphs gave to his pro
fesSion a positive cure for sleepleSsness,
wasting strength, dyspepsia, biliousness,
liver complaint, neuralgia, rheumatism,
all nervous diseases and kidney troubles.
For all such complaints Paine's celery
compound has succeeded again and again
where everything else has failed.
No remedy was ever so highly recon-
mended. because none ever accomplished
so much.
To-day Paine's celery compound stands
without competition for feeding ex-
hausted nerves and building up the
strength of the body it cures radically
and permanently. The nervous prostra-
ton and general debility from which
thousands of women suffer so long that
it finally gets to be a second nature
with them-all this suffering and despon-
dency can be very soon removed by pro
perly feeding the nerves, and replacing
the unhealthy blood by frcsher, more
highly vitalized fluid. A healthy in
crease in appetite and a corresponding
gain in weight and good spirit follow the
use of Paine's celery compound.
Paine's celery compound is the most
remarkable medicine achievement of this
last half of the nineteenth century.

The Sugar Trust, according to the
testimony of its officers, fixes the price
upon refined sugar and puts out each
year >, 400,000.00O pounds of the 3,000,-
100000 pounds annually consumed in
this country, or 200,0O00O0 pounds
each month.
With an increased margin of profit,
therefore, of 5-16 cent n pound for the
first month of McKinley's administra-
ton, its increased profit from the con-
sumner for the month has been $625O00.
With the same increased margin of
profit for refining. the Sugar Trust
would make an increased profit from the
consumer in q year twelve times as much,
or $7.500,0O0.
With such Il margin of profit between
the cost of the standard raw sugar and
the standard refined sugar maintained
during the four years Of Mckinley s
administration, the Sugar Trust will
therefore take from the consumers in the
shape of increased profits four times as
much, of $30,OOO,00O.

TARIFF BILL IN COMMITTEE.

Will Not he Ready Before Two Weeks
Much Difficulty Between Demand of
Special Interests and the Wisdom of
Decrease Of Rates
Washington, d. c., April 9.-The Re
publican Senators who are acting as q
subcommittee of the Senate committee
on Finance in the preparation Of the
tariff bill are inclined in their estimates
now to postpone the date of it's present
action to the Senate a little beyond the
limit originally fixed by them. They
express the opinion that it may be two
weeks from the present time before the
bill will be in shape to be reported. Some
of them postpone the time until two
weeks from next Monday. The COM
mittee is making very satisfactory pro-
gress with the bill and many of the
schedules have received final attention
among these being chemicals and cot
tons. None OF the more puzzling ques-
TOMS, however, have been disposed of.
The committee has deemed it wisest to
leave the rates on wool, sugar, hides, coal,
lead, ore, lumber, and all the other par
ticularly puzzling subjects until the
u.
Many of the smaller items accordingly
have been determined upon. While no
detailed information can be secured, it is
understood that many reductions in du-
ties have been made. The disposition Of
the committee is to make a quite general
reduction, but this is found to be a task
not easy of accomplishment because of
the insistence of Senators upon having
the strongest protection for the articles
in which they are particularly interested
There are, indeed, many demands for in
creases and some OF these are so press
ing that the members of the committee
are finding themselves considerably en-
barrassed between their desire to satisfy
Senators whose votes will be essential
to the success OF the bill and their con-
viction that the interests of the party de-
msnd reduction rather than increase.
