Washington, May 13.-At three

American Physicians and Surgeons

many of the most eminent medi-
cal and surgical specialists in the coun-

present when it was called to order
by DR.. Walter Keen, of Philadelphia,
professor. of surgery at the Jefferson
Medical college.
DIR. Adolph Lorenz, the distinguished
Austrian surgeon, was expected to be
present, but has not arrived. Among
those in attendance were eminent ply
sicians and surgeons, not only of the
United States, but of all countries of
Europe. Among them were Prof. Won

URGE TARIFF REVISION.
Manufacturers JOAN Farmers for the
Promulgation Of the
"Iovva Idea."

The National Association of Manu-
facturers have been holding con-
vention, and amongst the resolutions
reported for consideration was one
urging tariff revision on general
lines. Last year at their convention
at Detroit similar resolution was
adopted. but the republican congress
paid no attention to such demands.
Manufacturers have discovered that
the tariff tax pinches them as well
as the consumers, and by advancing
the cost of living forces increased
wages. They have also discovered that
the tariff fosters trusts and that the
trusts obliterate competition and adj
vance prices, thus still more increas-
Ing the cost OF living and wages. The
manufacturers of farm machinery are
paying enormous prices for their lum-
Der and iron, both highly protected,
and this comes out of the farmers in in
creased cost of farm machinery.
Tho boot and shoe manufacturers
find that the duty on hides makes dear
boots. The paper manufacturers COM
plain that the duty on wood pulp in
creases the cost of paper, and the list
might be continued to include all kinds
OF raw material. Most of these manu-
facturers have felt the pinch of the
increased duties demanded by foreign
countries on goods they sell for export;
for all the European countries except
England are trying in this way to keep
out our goods as our protective tariff
keeps out most Of theirs. There is
where the farmer is again interested,
for most Of these countries are. in
creating their duties on American ag-
ricultural products to protect their
own agriculturists. If Europe should
have good crops-which has not been
the case for four years. and this coun-
try should be fortunate in having an
other favorable season-the price Of
some farm products will drop to those
OF ten years since, and our farmers will
have hard time to make both ends
meet again.
When Europe has short crops they
are compelled to buy of us, or of other
countries who raise surplus, but
they purchase these necessities where
sAey can puy tnem cneapest, thFlH OF
no tariff.
In the end the farmers and the work.
ingman pay the tariff tax, and the lat
ter gets but avery small advantage by
the increase OF wages for his living
expenses are advanced in proportion
The farmer who has to sell in competi
ton with the whole world bears tn.
greatest burden, for he also has to pay
more for what he buys and has no pro
lection on what he sells.
With the manufacturers demanding
revision of the tariff to suit them, il
should not be difficult for the people
who pay the greater portion of the
taxes it imposes from enlarging the re-
vision to relieve them Of the greater
burden.

geon of international distinction; DR..
Roswell Park, of Buffalo, one of the
surgeons who attended the late Pres
ident Mckinley, and DR.. Simon Flex-
ner, Of Philadelphia.
During the sessions of the congress,
which will occupy the greater part OF
three days, papers by eminent author
tiles will be read on the spread OF ma
laria. yellow fever and kindred dis
eases; on the prevention of disease
among employees on the Panama canal,
and on the discoveries made by the
late DIR. Walter Reed and their value
to medical science.

ings during the day for the discus
sion of subjects directly related to
their work.
The x-Ray and Cancer.
Washington, May 13.-The session
Of the American Theraupetic society
Tuesday was devoted to the reading of
papers by members including the fol-
lowing: "Cardiac Drugs in Heart Dis
ease," by DR.. Oliver I. Osborne, OF New
Haven, Conn; ALTITUDE Treatment"
by DR.. j.. N. Hall, of Denver, Col; sThe
Cure Of Morbid Growths by the Use
Of the x-Ray," by DR.. Robert Reyburn,
Of Washington, D. c.; Call Stones"
by DR.. George Fowler, Of New York
city, and "Control Of the Purity and
Standard Quality of Drugs" by DR.. 81.
w. Wiley, chief Of the bureau Of
chemistry of the agricultural depart
ment. DR.. Wiley took the position that
the failure of drugs to cure is often
due to their LACK of purity.
DE-, Reyburn, in the course of his pa
per on the x-ray, expressed the opin.
| ion that in the treatment of cancer II
| is only useful in dealing with the super.
fetal variety and that its beneficial eff
fects are similar to those of a caustic.
DIR. Morton, Of New York, took issue
with this view, epptending that the
division between cases benefited and
those not benefited is along other
lines. He also maintained that the
Finsen ray is by no means as useful an
agency in the treatment Of disease as
the Roentgep Tay.

Secretary Shaw takes an occa-
sional turn at defending the high tar
ID, but still Il does not improve in
public estimation. It is, no doubt, un-
derstood that Mr.. Shaw defends the
tariff because he has to.-Cincinnati
Enquirer.
The existing high tariff could not
for . moment continue to receive the
approval OF . majority Of the voters
but for the cunningly devised fable
that It is in the interest OF the laboring
masses OF the country. The inexor-
able logic OF incontestable facts shows
that this is not true. Whenever the
masses OF the voters that labor come
70 see this q lowering Of tariff sehed-
ules will be inevitable.--LouisviNe

Uncle Hanna declares that Mr..
Roosevelt is undoubtedly the founda-
ton Of this great government, which
IS, Of course, fattering to Mr.. Roose-
welt. It may be doubted, however,
whether Messrs. Morgan, Hill and

the same opinion, and those gentlemen

Just as long as great majority

prices, which are possible because Of
the Dingley tariff, so long will the

last year was to the estate of John f..

great many thousands of dollars. I'm
der the old law the fee for filing ar
ticles in this state was $1,000, maxi
mum. Under a law passed last year
the fee may be one dollar for every
$1,000 Of capital stock. When the Rock
Island railroad was reorganized and

500, OOO, 900, the state charged new
fee Of more than 100000, which was

4 Employees Missionaries.
The Baptist church of Iowa has
employed ten missionaries to take up
the work of evangelization in this
state. The growth of all of the
churches of all denominations in Iowa
has not been satisfactory in recent
years and all of them are paying
more attention to the local situation
/ instead Of deyoting most of their en-
ergias to building up the foreign
missions, Fhe revelation recently
made that the Baptists Of Bnrmabb,
India, are larger in number and have
a larger number Of churches and con-
tribute more money to foreign mis-
sions than the Iowa Baptist churches,
was the origin Of the present move
