but for the prompt payment of liberal
pensions and the liquidation of princi-
pal and interest in the public debt.
In raising revenues, duties should
be so levied upon foreign products as
to preserve the home market so far as
possible to our producers, to revive and
increase the manufactures, to relieve
and encourage agriculture, to increase
our domestic and foreign commerce, to
aid and develop mining and building,
and to render labor in every field of
useful occupation liberal wages and
adequate rewards to which skill and
industry are justly entitled.
Necessity of the passage Of a tariff
law which shall provide ample revenue
need not be further urged. The i'm
perative demand of the hour is the
prompt enactment of such a measure,
and to this object I earnestly recon-
mend that Congress shall make every
endeavor.
Before other business is transacted,
let us first provide sufficient revenue to
faithfully administer the Government
without contracting further debt, or
continued disturbance of our finances.

VIENNA, March 15.-The proposal of
the Powers that France and Italy occu-
py Crete with a mixed force of $4,000
men has been declined by the Govern
ments of those two countries on the
score of expense. The occupation of
Crete therefore, will be undertaken by
the forces of the six Powers, although
Germany and Austria will only nomin-
ally take part, to show they are agree
able to the measure. The Powers are
discussing the details of an autonomous
Government and the choice of a Gov

ROME, March 15.-It is i-officially
stated here this afternoon that all the
foreign Admirals have received orders

the Cretan blockade should prove mad

transferring such to the clothing wool
classes, but the duty on clothing wool
has been restored to the rate of the Act
of 1890
In framing this new tariff, the aim
has been to make the duties specific
or at least partly so, as far as possible
to protect the revenue and also to pro-
tect our own industries. This has been
done in response TO the wishes of the
better class of importers, as we'll as of
the administration of the law and of
our own producers. The very general
substitution of specific duties, even
where they are only the equivalent of
existing ad valorems, will of itself in
crease the revenue and strengthen the
protection afforded to our industries
THE reciprocity provisions of the Act
OF 1871 have not only been fully re-
stored, but this policy has been ex-
tended by adding to it sugar, tea, coffee
and hides, as articles on which to make
reciprocal agreements, such articles as
champagne, brandy, wines, artificial
and natural mineral waters, chckle,
argots and silk laces. In addition to
these articles the reciprocity provision
is strengthened greatly by providing
for reduction of duties to countries
giving us similar concessions.
The bill as whole has the unani-
nous support of the Republican mem
bers of the Ways and Means Committee
and it will receive the support of Re-
publicans, as well as others who be-
lieve that the revenue should be at
least equal to expenditures. with a
small surplus added, and we entertain
the conviction that to provide duties to
such revenue 1t is wise policy to en-
courage home production and manu-
factures, and thus employ at good
wages the wage earners of our people,
upon whose purchasing power depends

The Yazoo Sentinel speaks thusly
Of the boy and the bull pup: "If q
man has a $50 bull pup he looks after
it carefully and will not let it run
around at night all over town. Bns
if he has a boy, it is different. He ia
turned loose at tender age to 60 to
the devil, and then the people wonder
where the great army Of tramps,
drinkers, gamblers, and sots came
from each decade. They are germin-
.ted from the pure seed, gathered
from our homes and sOwn broadcast
upon our streets and alleys. It may
De that your boy is making growth
In that direction. At all events the
boy onght to be given equal showing

These words seem harsh but un-
fortunately in many instances they
are but too true.
