DISAGREEIEG TARIFF DOCTORS
Manufacturers and others Who Do
Not Feel so kindly Toward
Reciprocity.

The Manufacturers association of
FLiia5slphia has been so worked up
Ia It's feelings about reciprocity and
tariff reform that it declares that,
while favoring reciprocity, it aban-
dons none Of its protection views.
This if it means anything, favors
both sides Of the question, for Of
course there can be no reciprocal ar
rangement made with any foreign
country relating to the tariff With
out both parties make some conces-
sion by reducming their respective
tariffs on commodities that they are
willing to admit for a lower rate, and
DO that extent protection views have
TO be abandoned Ii is hardly to be
wondered that the manufacturers have
lost their bearings and hardly know
where they are at on this subject.
The Protective league and the Home
Market club on the one side are ding
ing into their ears that to ease up
by ever SO little on the present tariff
would be to abandon the whole the
ory on which the wonderful and sci-
entifc tariff has been constructed and
would soon bring ruin on its bene-
heiaries. The manufacturers and the
trusts evidently believe this, for they
donate literally TO the league to car
ry on the fight for no change. On the
other hand, they are told by the
champions Of reciprocity that their
markets must be enlarged or they
rssflT nn4 Ia ohIa 10 Iser,.a oe 4l,.f.
surplus products, which, under the
stimulus OF protection and the enor-
nous profits they are thus enabled to
make in the home market, have rap
idly grown beyond what our own peo-
pie can purchase. If no market is
opened for their surplus in foreign
lands, production must be reduced to
the home market level. AS both Of
these schools of political economists
promise jast the ideal conditions that
the trusts and manufacturers want,
they naturally favor both factions,
not seeing, possibly what ridicu-
lous position they occupy. There are,
however, some Manufacturer and
otSers interested who do not feel so
kindly towards reciprocity. For in
stance, the hosiery and knit goods
people OF New England find that their
has been sacrificed by a re-
duction Of 20 per cent. In ne rtei-
pFoclty treaty with France. The seed
growers, with a Ike reduction, the
nut growers the same and the prune
growers with tea per cent, all Of
whom declare win reduce their profits
by that proportion without any COR
advantage or reciprocal
These are the main
kickeFs at reciprocity, outside Of
those who claim that the constitu-
tional limitations restricting the or
igin Of all revenue lays to the house
Of representatives is nullified because
these reciprocity treaties are orig
mated by the executive. These tariff
doctors are certainly considerably
mixed, and withal they do not touch
the burning question of the tariff of
whether trusts productions that are
sold to foreigners cheaper than they
are to our own people shall be placed
Dn the free list. That is the democrats
c contention. and some few anti
trust republicans believe so, too.

Senator Hoar has bought a house IN
Washington, " 1t is a modest and simple
house. he tells the Worcester Gazette,
" IN one Of the more humble sections Of
the city, though large enough for US. 1
paid $4,000 for it and borrowed the
money here in Worcester. 1t is in pOrs
ton Of the city where real estate is rising
and BY the end of my term hope to sell
it at an advantage"
For thirty three years Mr.. HOar has
represented Massachusetts as congress
man and senator at Washington. He
was a rising young lawyer when he en-
tered the public service, who already had
made his place, was earning a good in
come and had before him the prospect
of winning some high prizes il his pro-

any Of the opportunities which come in
the way of legislators at Washington
whose scruples are not severe, he would
be a man Of large wealth. But he Dor
rows the money to pay for the $4,000

comfort Of his advancing years.
Senator HOar Is an old fashioned man.
His ways are not those Of the modern
politician. But for this very reason he
has the respect and the IikiDg-yes, and
the reverence-of people who disagree
utterly with him in politics.

KNIGHTS EN- ROUTE WEST.
The Followers of Pythias, Their Ex-
cursiOn to the Coast, Breakfast
in GOOdIamd.

The Rock Island is doing heavy bus
mess in the Knights Of Pythias excur
sions to the Pacific coast. The first ex-
cursion over the road began Monday. On
an average two trains pass through
GOodland daily and breakfast here from
$50 to o'clock The Depot hotel is
doing a heavy business in catering to
the excursioDists. Five dispatchers were
at the keys Wednesday morning, when
two trains from Ohio and Michigan
points came IN.
One train from Battle Creek, Mich,
was placarded with advertisements Of
cereal foods" manufactured there. Bat
tie Creek is famous for the manufacture
Of these cereal foods, Of steam pumps
and threshers, and for its sanitariums.
One car was loaded with these "health
foods which were freely given away as
an advertisement. The scramble for
these foods was amusing.
The excursiOnists were bound for San
Francisco, and were a Jolly crowd and
seemed to be having a royal good time
The kodak fiend was numerous. Two
groups arranged on the platform near
the train were snapped" Some one had
the sleek dun saddle horse of A. L. Cul-
Inns OF hand and the "generalissimO"
mounted the steed as the center of a
group, holding a little girl in his arms.
In semicircle was formed a company
Of brave men and fair maidens, one Of
whom stIOked the dun pOny's nose. The
fiend got In his work, and IN the after
years some Of these photographs may be
found in the elegant homes of the Mich
iganders, preserved as mementOs Of this
trip to the PARKWAY Pacific, and Of this
morning stop at the last station in Kan
sas. The maiden that stroked the
pony's nose will then be an old maid or
a grandmother and the pony will be In

Ker Bran and His Pup.

Charley O-Brien has a water spaniel
and water spaniel likes the water.
Charley sometimes plays seven up at
the Rowe blacksmith shop. Often he
takes the pup and dOuses him in the
tub that stands at the rear Of the shop.
The other day the blacksmith had
been cooling some heavy irons II the
tub and the water was so hot one could
not hold ones hand in it. Charley gets
up from a game IN the woodwork shop
and takes the pup out for a bath. The
howl that proceeded from the canine
throat at being introduced to a hot bath
would have alarmed the neighbOrs if
neighbOrs had been near. Canine
screeches were agOnizing to hear. Ker
Bryan, much astOnished that a water
spaniel should protest against water
bath, tested the temperature with his
hand, but drew it quickly out: BE
gorry,' said Ker Bryan, 1.-The next time
I give the pup a bath I'll feel O. the
