PERMANENT TARIFF BOARD.
Could Keep Committees of Congress Con-
stantiy Informed.


Milwaukee. Wis, Oct. 16.-Postmas-
ter General Payne in an interview said
that the forthcoming annual message
of President Roosevelt to Congress
would probably recommend that per-
manent tariff board or commission be
appointed. Mr.. Payne said:
''He will probably favor reduction
of import duties upon products which
no longer need protection. He is also
inclined TO favor the creation of per-
manent tariff commission which can at
all times receive testimony subject to
expert consideration and trade, sub
hitting its reports and recommends
tons to congress as other departments
of the national government. This will
insure the careful and thorough COM
pilation of all information accessible
and.will save to congressional commit
tees a vast amount of labor. This was
the policy outlined by the president in
his speech at Logansport, Ind, and
which it is safe to predict will be en-
bodied in his annual address to con-
gress- He is strongly in earnest in
these views, as well as in those in re-
lation to reciprocity as feature of our
commercial intercourse with foreign
nations.

PRICES EASILY maintained.
Settlement of Coal Strike Removes
Business Handicap.
VERY SPEEDY RESTORATION.

New York, Oct 20.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Trade Review says that
the settlement of the coal strike re-
moves the only serious handicap to
industrial progress. Five months of
restricted fuel production has begun to
check the wheels at many manufacture
ing centers, while there was percep-
tible diminution in consumptive de-
mands as the purchasing power of the
wage earners steadily decreased.
Savings have been exhausted and
much money has gone out of the coun-
try because of this struggle, but the
nations remarkable strong position
assures speedy restoration of pros
porous conditions Transportation is
now the worst feature, and threatens
to continue. disturbing. While the
grain crops are being moved the supply
of rolling stock and motive power will
prove insufficient, although every effort
is made at the shops, liberal premiums
being offered for early delivery. That
the railways are well occupied is evil
denced by earnings for the fir It week
of October 3.5 per cent larger than last
year and 100 per cent above 1900.
Inadequate supplies of fuel caused
further banking of furnaces, but the
effect of decreased output of domes-
tic pig iron has been partially neu-
tralized by larger arrivals from
abroad. Footwear shops are actively
engaged, many producers having add
ell to their long list of orders, and
while practically all of the New Eng
land manufacturers are assured full
time up to the end of the gear, they
are also taking orders for deliveries in
March. Prices are easily maintained.
Leather is slightly weaker, owing to
the sharp fall in hides, which has been
accentuated by the poorer quality now
coming on the market. In cotton
goods the feature was a purchase of
about 100000 pieces of print cloths.
While quotations were not altered, the
tone became decidedly firmer.

Tremendous Simplicity.


New York, Oct. 17.-English moral
lists are staggered by the tremendous
simplicity of the negotiations for
bringing the coal strike to a close.
Neither sovereign nor prime minister

done; nor is there any English fnancier
capable of playing Mr.. Morgan's part.
No labor leader has arisen in England
with Mr.. Mitchcll's influence over the

Grating Attorneys Seem Bent on Rob

Washington, Oct. o.-Lieutenant
Colonel Randlet, U. S. A., in charge of
the Kiowa Indian reservation IN Okla
homa in his annual report to the COM
missioner of Indian affairs vigorously
assails the Indian Rights association
and the government board, of Indian
commissioners. The attack is brought
out by statements made at the last
Lake Monkonk, N. Y. conference,
which the agent alleges are misrepre-
sensations.

'that the time iIas come when the
righteous should, in praying for the
interests of this agency, plead God
save them from their friends the
board of Indian commissioners and the
Indian Rights association, the latter
having developed as allies OF grating
attorneys who seem bent on robbing
the Indians of the magnaminous pro-
visions made for them by by the act of
congress of June 6, 1900. This has en-
couraged the constant demand of
legislators and congress that the pos
sessions of the Indians of this agency
be taken from them and has engend-
cred the want of confidence and distrust
which is disturbing the minds of the
Indians, who have raised the question,
what calamity have we to expect?"

fact that many canneries in Kansas

which have established reputation in

Miners MY NOT ACCEPT.
President UnduIy Limited in APP
pointment of Board.
"A DIVISION OF OPINION.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 16.-From a
thorough canvass of the situation as it
now exists, there is every Indication
that the new arbitration plan proposed
by the presidents of the coal companies
for ending the miners strike will not
be accepted in its present form. There
is a division of opinion among the
strikers, but there is no doubt that a
majority feel that the offer to have the
president of the United States select
an arbitration commission unduly linn
its the president in making up the
board. The miners, it is safe to say,
will abide by the advice of their ma
tional president, in whose Judgment
they have the utmost confidence
President Mitchell gave to the press
the following statement:
81 fully appreciate with what anx-
iety the people of our country are
awaiting the end of the coal strike.
The coal operators have no. addressed
the miners union or its officers in
making their public statement. 1t is
therefore impossible for me to state
attitude of the miners at this time
1 am now, as 1 have always been,
deeply solicitous for the interests of
the public and the welfare of the mine
workers who have been on strike for
the past five months. A formal state
ment defining our position and inten-
tions will be issued just as soon as we
are in possession of the full meaning of
the proposition of the operators.
After giving this statement he was
a-.sed many questions regarding the
attitude of the men and the ability
of the acceptance or rejection of the
new offer. but he had no reply to make
to any of these questions. He denied
that he had any knowledge of what
the new offer of the operators was ~
til it became public property, and also
denied that he was i'll telegraphic COM
munication with President Roosevelt.
His attention was called to the fact
that most of the Information from
Washington indicated that tue prop
osition would be accepted and that the
strike was near an end, but he stoutly
maintained that neither his officers nor
the rank and file of the men had done
anything to cause such an impression
to go out.

A Cure for Rheumatism.

Bridgeport, Wash, Oct. 20th.-Rheu-
matism and kidney trouble seem to
be the prevailing ailments in this ter
ritory and particularly in Douglas
county.
A remarkable and plainly sure cure
has, however, recently been intro
duced.
1t is called Dodd's Kidney Pills and
although but short time on the
market, it has already worked many
wonderful cures.
One of the most striking of these is
that of Mr.. John Higgins, who for a
long time suffered with rheumatism
and kidney trouble. The pains of
these diseases had combined to make
his life very miserable indeed, and he
could get nothing to do him any good
till he heard of this new remedy. He
tells his experience with it in these
words:
'Dodd's Kidney Pills have done
more for my rheumatism and kidney
trouble than anything else have ever
used. There is more virtue in them
than in any other medicine and l will
always highly recommend them to all
of my friends"
