Manufacturers Against the Tariff Bill.

against the BILL.
One of the most striking indications
Of tho growth of sentiment against high
protection and of liberal sentiment
upon tariff matters is the movement
against the pending tariff bill by the
Manufacturers Association of the Unit
ed States Mr.. y. b. Furquhar, an cx-
tensive manufacturer of agricultural
machinery ut York. Pa. is at the head
of the movement
1t Is we'll known that i'll the manu-
facture of agricultural implements and
machinery Americans arc far i'll advance
of their competitors in any other land
and that the products of their factories
may be seen i'll tho fields all over the
civilized world. These people need no
protection and are we'll able to take care
of themselves All they ask is to have
untaxed raw material. so that they will
not be placed at u disadvantages
a great list of other industries are
practically i'll the Same position and de
sire free raw material more than they
desire protection. 1t is also significant
that the manufacturers. i'll their petit
tion to the senate, declare that their
ability to employ American labor will
be greatly impaired by the passage Of
the tariff bill They ask that the Chi
nese wall that is obstructing the foreign
trade and crippling American enterprise
shall be broken down.
The plea which has been used for
years by the protcctionists - namely,
that protection is i'll the interest Of
American labor-is shown by census
figures TO be u sham. OF the 5, 200, 900
persons employed In manufacturing in
the United States it is shown IN the pc
tition that less than 200, 600 are en-
ployed IN occupations subject to active
foreign competition and GIG, 900 in
occupations subject to moderate for
eiBn competition. The remainder, over
1000, 900. do not come at all in compe-
tition with foreign labor
1t is very plain that the Dingley bill
is not designed. any more than any other
high protective measure was designed,
TO protect American labor or to pro-
duce revenues for the government 1t is
designed primarily to protect the trusts
and to foster monopoly.

cause little or none of the raw material

Thus holding fast in deathless grace
The smile that on her rosebud face

THE WALNUT LOG INDUSTRY.
r1any Thousands of Dollars Worth Be-
 ing Shipped Out of Polk County.

J. F. Brower who has been buying black walnut logs for shipment to Germany, at Mena, for several months is doing a thriving business and pay ing out consi 1erable money. While at Grand Summit last week looking after shipment he walked up to the Mt Mena hotel for dinner. To d Star re. porter he stated that he recently ship ped one car load from Barton and two from Grand Summit, the latter coming to Mena where the logs were sorted, a portion being kept to be sawed in our mills before shipping.
 Mir. Brower has now decided to have all his walnut logs delivered at this city and sawed into lumber before be- ing shipped, and he also intends to commence the shipment of what he calls satin walnut or gum logs and lumber.
 To give an idea of the amount of money walnut logs bring, he stated that he last week paid q man S246. 24 for eleven logs. These logs are worth about Sso O thousand feet in Hol- land to make furniture from. and it is fortunate that Americans have learn ed that oak lumb Der is good enough for furniture, so we can sell the Dutch our walnut.
 In addition to the shipment of wal nut logs made by J. F. Brewer, we might mention that Williams x Wat son have also been buying and shiping logs to Germany. About two weeks ago these gentlemen shipped three cars of logs, followed by shipment of two cars last week.
