We do not make q practice of de-
voting much space in our reading
columns to our advertisers. We take
pains, before allowing them TO buy
space of us, to find out that they are
considered reliable, and after they
have used our space for some time
we get to know, through our readers,
something of their product and of
the manufacturer. breeder or adver-
tiser himself.
Many a person or company has adj
~vertised with US for two or three
months, then dropped out and vas
never heard of again while others
commence modestly-have an article
of merit to start with, find a general
demand for it, il fills the bill, year
after year the article is improved
by their experience, it is sold reason
ably-and they continue with US
without interruption.
1t is always safe to ~patronize this
GLASS of advertisers. You are pretty
sure of q fair deal, because they an
not afford to do otherwise.
An instance: The Page Woven
Wire Fence Co., Adrian, Michigan,
have used our columns continuously
for over ten years they have estab-
lished themselves in the confidence
of our readers, and they could never
have done so if there had not been
real merit in their fences. Their
business has doubled up year after
year, until 1--WE are credibly informed)
they use the entire output of wire of
their extensive steel mill, at Mones-
sen, Pennsylvania, in their own
fences.
They do not claim TO sell fence the
chepest, but they do claim that since
they make their own steel and wire
they have a wire especially adapted
for fencing purposes, and one that
will sustain the special features in
Page Fences.
The Page Fence Company have an
enviable reputation among our read
ers.

THE TARIFF CRISIS IN CONGRESS.

The event of the week in Congress
was the vote in the Ways and Means
Committee Of the House of Repre-
sentatives upon the Babcock amend
ment to the tax reduction bill. This
amendment put upon the free list
the important iron and steel products
which this country is now selling
abroad in large quantities. The list
includes all structural steel and iron,
boiler plates, steel rails, and nearly
every steel product in the form used
IS raw material by our ~manufactur-
ers of machinery and implements.
The fact that our manufacturers
can sell these goods abroad, after
paying for transportation, at as low
a price as foreigners a make in
their own markets, is assumed TO in.
dicate that our manufacturers car
sell TO u countrymen as cheaply
as foreigners could sell them if our
tariff were removed. The bill would
not guarantee that our manufao-
turers should sell as cheaply at home
as abroad, but merely that they
should not charge as home more
than their price abroad plus the cost
of shipping the goods back to this
country. This amendment came
within one vote Of being adopted by
the Committee, as the other Republi-
can member from the Northwest,
Mr.. Tawney, of Minnesota, supported
Mr. Baboock, and they had of course
the united support of the Democrats.
Mr.. Babcock says that the fight is
not over yet, and that he will bring his
amendment before the House, where
it is more popular than in the Ways
and Means Committee. This claim
we may we'll believe, as most of the
members of the Ways and Means
Committee are noted for their strong
proteotionist leanings. 1t is certain
that the amendment would have the
support of the country at large-for
in Americas COMMITTEE of the
whole there are not nine Republi-
cans to six Democrats, as on the
WAYS and a Means Committee, but
only nine Republicans TO eight Dem
ocrats, and measure supported by
all Democrats and even one-fourth
of the Republicans has an over.
