A DemagOgic Trick.

Finding no other way to make
capital out OF the tariff discussion
the Democrats of the house resorted
to n shabby trick. In serder to fool
the people, az they always have done,
they made "a great play on trusts.
Before the final vote was taken on
the Dingley bill, Dockery of Missouri
offered a resolution that n bill be
referred back to the ways and means
committee with instructions to report
amendment putting ON the free list
all articles manufactured, produced,
or controlled by any combination or
organization of corporations formed
i'm the United States for the purpose
of limiting, regulating or controlling
the supply or price of any such arti-
that the rates of duty now prescribed
by law shall be levied and collected
on any and all of such articles, when,
i'm the opinion of the secretary of the
treasury, such articles shall cease to
be manufactured, produced or con
trolled in the United States by any
such combination or organization
This resolution could have been
offered for no other purpose than
bunkum. Mr.. DOckery doubtless
knew that it was unconstitutional
as well as he knew that the resolu-
ton would be voted down. But il
.r-ap1 otanI nlnr r., mako il
appear that the Republicans were
voting for trusts. The secretary al
the treasury is not vested with the
power to determine and render an
opinion as to whether the law had
been violated under the provisions oi
this resolution. 1t would be a matter
for the courts to decide.
During the debate on this resolu,
ton the Inconsistency OF the Demo,
Gratis as regards trusts was shown
up to their apparent discontinue,

preme court has recently decided that

house in the fifty-first congress the
Democrats attempted to- defeat it by
dilatory motions and other tactics
After eXhausting their resources and
knowing that the bill would pass
without their aid they voted for il

This law was carefully drawn SO as
to avoid all constitutional objections

In another column we publish an
address issued to the wOolgrOwers
of the United States by Judge Law
renee, president of the national asso-
citation, in which he calls attention
to the unjust features of the wool
tariff as passed by the house. I'm
questionably the woolgrOwers have
not been accorded the treatment they
anticipated and had a right to expect
at the hands Of the trainers of the
Dingley bill, but the western n
tors will make every effort to remedy
it's defects by amendment and thus
secure the protection desired. The
Chicago Tribune, IA professed Repub-
lican paper with free trade tenden-
cies, has interested itself in this
matter and sought to prove that
free wool, or at least very low duties,
were better not only for the country
at large but for the woolgrowers of
the middle states. On more than
one point the Tribune displays start
ling inconsistency. While advocating
free wool because, as it claims, 1t
will make cheaper clothing, an argu-
ment long since proven fallacious,
quality considered, it holds that a
tariff on wool will enable western
growers to place mutton on h Chi
cago market at a less rate than
growers of the middle states. So,
while pretending to favor cheap
clothing it does not favor cheap
meat. But the Tribune is wrong,
Free wool will not make cheapcloth-
ing and neither will a duty on wool
make cheap meat for the wool sheep
OF the west is not a mutton sheep
while those of the central states are

The Dinglcy tariff bill spassed the

Louisiana and two from Texas.

''dodged'' as usual. The amendment
providing that the law should take
effect at once is intended to check the
heavy importations that are now
taking place in order to avoid the
duty and which come in competition
with American products. The con-
tention on the part OF the Democrats
that the amendment would be de-
clared unconstitutional because ret
roactive, is not thought to be sound,
from previous decisions. However
that may he the point will be well
considered before final action is taken
by the senate. In the meantime the
action of the house may have the
desired effect in decreasing the impor.
tations.

A new danger to woolgrowers

The parents Of Lewistown are
evidently opposed to free text books
at present, judging from h result of
the school election. 1t is noticeable,
however, that a great many did not
vote on the question at all, probably
because they were not familiar with
its operation or because of indiffer-
ence. There are good arguments on
both sides of this question and it il
one which the people should be
given time to study and become ia
miliar with. There was no necessity
for hasty action and we believe par
ents have acted wisely in not adopt
ing the system at this time, whatever
action may be taken in h future.
A good many states have adopted
the system and it would he well to
get the opinions of both sides before
voting for il. As yet we have very
few families so poor that they cannot
procure school books. A man may
be very poor and yet have too much
pride to allow the public to purchase
school books for his children. In
cities and thickly settled commune
ties the situation may be different
and possibly it will eventually prove
expedient and desirable here. The
one strong argument that every child
should have the advantages OF an
education despite the moral and
financial condition of its parents
outweighs, in n great measure, the
feature of p%aternalism that attaches
to the system. But the necessity
should be manifest before the general
public is called upon to purchase
books to further that desirable end.

savages' Deadly Weapon.

The most wonderful weapon of war
fare in the world is used by the hunters
of Borneo. 1t is a long bamboo rod
with n narrow bore, called a "sumpi-
TAM" from which rs blown n poisoned
dart seven or eight inches long and not
thicker than n large knitting needle.
The weapon is absolutely noiseless, and
the deadly missile which it hurls kills
it's victim and hardly leaves a trace
upon the body. Armed with one of
these blowguns which are from ten
to twelve feet long. and not greater
than an inch in diameter, a warrior of
Borneo can kill a man at a distance of
scn feet.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
