The NATIONS PoLlcY IN CHINA.

President Mckinley has decided toll
act independently in settling the Chi I
nese question The policy he has
adopted is outlined in late dispatches
from Washington. Briefly stated it IN
wolves the immediate withdraw Of our
army from China, With the exception Of
small force to guard the lega lion at
Pekin, and the authorization of Minis
ter Conser to enter topreliminary ne
gotiatiors With Lii Hung Chang and
Prince CHING for the settlement of the
difficulties involved, the authority Of
these officials being recognized and il
being understood that complete redress
for offenses is To. be eXaeted from China
In connection with this it has been -
termined to station a strong naval
force In Chinese water To guard our ma
tional interests pending a settlement
Our government declined to adopt the
plan of Germany To demand the sur
render of the leading offenders To the
power as a condition precedent To me-
gotations for settlement Of the diff
culties involved. Such a determination,
il carried out, might lead TO a. further,
with China and result in arrangements
with foreign powers. Conferences thus
far with leading Chinese viceroys lead
to the belief that the plan adopted by
our nation will meet With the hearty
corporation of the Chinese rulers. IS ii
q recognizes their authority and treats
them as responsible nation. In ef-
feet it lends all possible encouragement
to the Chinese to re-establish their oWn
central authority on a stable basis that
shall Of itself guarantee retributipn for
security of foreigners tilruout the ern-
pire. In fact the deciination to act upon
the German suggestion is in harmony
with the note issued by our nation as
early as july 8. which said in part: III
wrong be done our citizens. we propose
to hold the responsible. authors to the
uttermost accountability; but not as a
prerequisite to all negotiations. which
might be Indefinitely delayed while the
interior of China is secured for the Gull
prits.'
It is believed that the determination
to act Independently will meet with the
cordial approval of the people. AS
there was lack of agreement among
The European nations on a settled poll
cy. President Mckinley felt that the
circumstances demanded immediate
and independent action, and he has
acted in the interest of peaceful rath.
Ter than warlike settlement, and 1t rele.
gates the issues at stake to diplomacy
rather than to "militarism.''

WASHINGTON. APRIL l7.-The ways
and means committee gave hearing to
a. resolution 70 reduce the tax ON propri-
etary medicines. The drug delegation was
Jorge, including representatives OF many
spoke Of what he termed the discrimina-
tion and injustice of this tax and it's un-
constitutional character in view Of the

members Of the National Association OF

this was distinctly class legislation. The
only medicinal preparations receiving ex.

or eight times greater than the internal
tax on domestic products
Chairman Payne also brought out that
such American. products are more similar
to the German would have a like exemp-
tion from the internal tax, although Mr..
Engiehard said there were practically
none Of these.
Mr. Grosvenor said he was surprised 70
learn that such common drugs as arnics
and paregoric were taxed as patent
medicines; that it had never been the In
tention Of the Trainers OF the law to have
It so construed and that II should be re-
sisted I'M the courts.
Charles Clark spoke for the manufac-
turers. He said some Of those present
paid s100O and $4,000 annually. Much of
the tax was on variety OF articles de-
signed for suffering humanity. Many OF
the bandages which saved the lives Of our
soldiers had to bear revenue stamps With
an 900 surplus the course OF thegov-
ernment In taking $4,000 from ma1ufac-
ture and storing It away in the treasury
amounted to conhscation, and Mr.. CarR
protested against such action.
Several Of the nWmoers Of the commit
tee suggested that II TIE surplus was cut
down, other interests particularly the
beer interests would ask that they share
In the reduction.

Four years ago Mr.. E. Baxter and
myself were going over Audubon coun-
ty putting up the tent for republican
mass meetings. Well, at that time
one William j. Bryan was going about
the country talking from the hind end
of railroad car. / will give you a
part of his two minute speech which he
gave at Newton, Ia, Aug. 10, 1896.
He used the following language:
''The law which we base our fight
upon is as sure as the law of gravita.
ton. If we have q gold standard,
prices are as sure to fall as the stone
which is thrown into the air.
Mr.. Bryan was wrong in his state
ment, for according to our most relia
bic statistician, Carroll ID. Wright
prices upon commodities gradually in
creased. On October LIST, six months
after VIM. Mckinley became president
the price level had risen from Sl.5 to
1876, and in July 1899 to 929. 1t is
estimated that the price level will this
year reach 100, which will show rise
of twenty per cent in four years.
In 1896 the per capita circulation was
$21.l0. Three years after Mr.. McKin,
ley's election the per capita circulation
had increased to $26.77.

Does the Rainfall Change?



We are asked whether, with the re-
moval of the timber of the country
and the cultivation of the soil, the
average rainfall of a given territory
shrinks? No, it does not. The rain
fall will, of course, vary from year to
year as it has always done, but the
average precipitation will remain the
same. 1t is true that with the removal
Of the timber and the cultivation of
the soil, drouth periods probably be-
come mare marked, this caused by the
more rapid removal of the water from
the surface into the artificial bitches
and water ways, and also by the greater
amount evaporated from the soil by
growing crops. These two agencies
account for the drying out of the large
areas of wet land through the west.
The rainfall of the Mississippi valley
comes not from moisture evaporated
from the soil of the valley itself, but
'almot holly from the water pumped
up by the sun from the gulf of Mexico.
This being the case, it follows that SO
long as the gulf remains and the sun
keeps at work, there can be no visible
change in the rainfall of the valley
itself. The lesson which needs to be
learned under the changed condition
is how best to conserve the rainfall, foi
that undergoes no change.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1900-08-09

To read one or two Des Moines
papers one would think that Mr.. Cum
minis overshadowed the state conven-
ton, controlling the nominations and
coming within an ace of controlling the
state committee. These claims are really
openly made by the space writer's on
those papers. They say Cummins en- com-
passed the defeat of Hobart and Nor
row and Blanchard and Remley and
Sims and all the fellows who failed
and nominated those who succeeded.
Who is Cummins that he should run
and control the nominations of the
state? IfDes Moines politicians think
they can land their candidate in the
senate by having him dictate state
politics, they may be mistaken. Iowa
republicans do not need dictator.
