The lewiston, Me-, Journal, whose
editor is the brother of Nelson Ding
ley, the author of the new tariff bill
as it left the House, gives what is I'M
doubtedly an authoritative explana-
tion of the changes in Section %
of the law affecting the bonding priv
ilege under which foreign merchan-
disc can be shipped and forwarded
through Canada. The Journal says
there was no intention in the House
to change the bonding privilege. The
amendment to Section % striking
out the words "or any act of Con-
gress" in unconditional clause, which
is the modification causing the most
controversy, was adopted by the
Senate in open session, and there was
"trick in the dark" about it. The
Journal adds
| "The other amendment. it now seems, was
adopted by the Senate and House conferrees
| simply to prevent an evasion of the section
by the landing of foreign merchandise in
| Canada by vessels not entitled to equal priv.
| leges in our ports and then shipping it to the
United States. 1t was not intended or under
stood to effect the bonding privilege under
which foreign merchandise can be continu
ously shipped and forwarded through Cana
da. Undoubtedly, when finally settled, this
amendment will be construed as the confer
rees intended and, therefore, all the conten
ton over it will fall to the ground"
Congressman Powers writes the
Boston Herald's inquiry concerning
this section as tOllows:-
To the Editor of the Herald -
In response to your inquiry of Sept. l,

England interests as many people seem t.

The Farmer Executive of Indiana Takes
Look Ahead.

Look Ahead.
Long before Gov. Mount became
known in politics he was known as a
successful farmer and he has often
said that his success was in large
measure due to the study of general
conditions that enabled him to pre-
diet with some accuracy the trend of
the markets and prices.

governor, that the wheat market
fell. | have not seen any quotations
today, but if it did not rise again it
is bound to do so in time. These
slumps are to be expected in the
speculative market atintervals, when
successful spectators take their prof
its, and the trend of the prices OF
wheat is upward and it will reach
$1.25 before the next harvest. Those
who thresh early next year will do
we'll, for there will be great increase
of acreage due to the high prices and
if we have good crops there is bound
to be fall in price next year.

and prosperity. Neither sees any signs
of active prosperity in the land.
They admit that the farmers may
get few hundred millions out of the
rise in wheat, with which prosperity
they really express themselves as
pleased, but the whole business, they
say, will not amount to anything
and the prosperity, of which they
have misgivings, will soon collapse
into nothing. Mr.. Tillman charac-
