 The oyster wagons which make fre- quent journeys here from. the coast during the season have begun to ap- pear and are doing a longofiice busi- ness.

From the washingtonPost'

schedules were illustrated by rep
esentatives who called on Speaker
Cannon. 1t happened that one day
prominent Massachusetts, member
called to impress the speaker with the
easy manner In which the tariff might
be revised.
"You see," declared the Massachu-
setts member, 1--WE all make too mueh

pie. We would only have to put hides,
wool and coal on the free list and the
country would he practically satisfied;
we might do more. but that would
really be enough. There could be no
difficulty in coming to an agreement
on that-merely a matter of q rev
weeks"
The speaker listened intently as
he always does listen to advice. Bul
trailing on the heels Of the Massacnu'
sets member came a representative
from Illinois who also wanted to re
wise the tariff. He started in the same
as his predecessor. He thought there

il having very little effect on them
In fact the protectionists do not even
care to discuss that phase of the ques-
ton. A revision of the tariff with the
declared purpose to simply lower the
schedules they say would have the
same effect on the country that they
claim would follow an attack on
the tariff principles by the free-trad.
ers. They claim that merchants would
not buy goods when lower tarif rates
might still further reduce the price
they would have to pay. That condl-
tions lasting six months they fear
would upset all business conditions.
They say 1t might mean panic.
But they are likely to have their
views very forcibly contested by the
tariff revsioHists next winter. The re-
yisionists and the men who believe 10
the principles of reciprocity are band
ing together to give battle In the halls
of Congress. The citadel is now as
tinctly IN the control Of the stand pat

Thirty States Represented.

The Mount Vernon Ladies' Associa-
ton is a most exclusive body. 1t is
composed Of regent, who is president
of the association, and a vice-regent
from each of the States of the Union.
Thirty States are now represented.
The women are justly proud of the
work that has been and is being accom-
plished, and so value their places in
the council that it has become a GUS
tom for the Office of vice-regent to de-
scend from mother to daughter or
other near relative. When vacancy
occurs in the council the Governor OF
the State is invited to nominate some
prominent woman; but should the
name not receive the favorable consid

THE TARIFF PROBLEM.
REVISION AND ANTI-REVTSION
SENTIMENTS IN WASHINGTON.
Speaker Cannon between Two fires
Question to be a Live One During
the Next Session of Congress.

It is rather amusing to those who
are on the inside of the political arena
in Washington to observe the manner
in which discussions of the tariff are
conducted throughout the country. In
an academic way the theories of the
tariff are talked over. But to the men
on whom the real work of revising the
tariff would deyolve there are very diff
ferent considerations II influence them
They openly declare that the tariff
ought to be revised, but they say the
danger to business interests would be
so great that they fear undertaking 1t.
They insist that a struggle over the
schedules would last six months, and
that during thar time the business in
terests would be suffering stagnation
that would afflict the country very
sorely.
This view is secuted by the revision
lists as one that has no standing with
men who believe in doing things. They
claim that if such considerations are
to prevail there never could be re-
vision of the tariff.
So Easy To Revise.

vaudeville performance on that magni-
ficent stretch of lawn, walters bearing
their burdens of food and drink
through those stately halls, the daily
uproar of irreverent crowds.
And then came Miss Ann Pamela
Cunningham, of South Carolina. She
visited Mount Vernon in 1853 and was
shocked and grieved at the fate In
store for the historic spot. She con-
ceived the plan of rousing the women
of her beloved southland to the true
state OF affairs and enllsting their co.

found impracticable to confine the
propaganda to the Southern States, Sc

1t makes no difference whether Mr..
Rockefeller be right or wrong in his
forecast of a gathering storm, his plan
for the employment of surplus labor
is a practical and profitable one and
his enumeration of road building, riv-
er improvement, irrigation, forest pres
ervation and swamp draining, as the
truly great national problems is phil
osophic. The work needs to be done,

Every acre of land should be made to

search and experimentation in agri-
culture, with a view to increasing the

reason why it should not give counte-

land and the enhancement of the fer
tility of land already under culture.
1t Is the land--the farm, which is the
pedestal Of the republic.
There should be no effort to mini
mize the worth. of manufactures

wheat and cotton-not as primarily
important, but quite as necessary to
man in his present highly organized
social state. 1t is difficult to draw
the line between some Of the basic
manufactures and agriculture, for the
iron furnaces and steel mills build the
railroads and bridges which give
farmers a shortcut to markets.

But the point is, that where manu-
