DEFENDS PROTECTIVE TARIFF.
Secretary Shaw Addressed Mass Meet
ing in Richmond. Va.

Richmond, Va, Oct. 3.-Secretarv OF
the Treasury Shaw, in speech at q
Republican mass meeting in the Acad-
emy Of Music in this city last night
discussed tariff issues. He declared that
all the party claims for any tariff law
is that IS principles are perfect, that it
will be amended in due time, but that
the principles will never be amended
under a Republican administration.
Secretary Shaw spoke in part as fol-
lows:
You must bear in mind there was
never a tariff law enacted that was
perfect, or that anyone claimed was
perfect. No two Congresses would ever
enact the same bill. Every tariff law
is an aggregation of compromises. All
the Republican party ever claims for
any tariff law win be too high here and
too low there, but protection will be
found in its every feature.
'The opposition party never claim
that their tariff measures are perfect.
They only claim that the principle OF
free trade, on which they profess to
construct their tariff laws, is the cor
rect principle. They claim to eliminate
every element of protection from all
their tariff laws. as England eliminates
protection from her tariff Laws. England
provides tariff for the sole purpose
of revenue, and the Democratic party
profess to do the same They have
openly and repeatedly denounced pro
lection a. robbery They strike at the
principle

at the home of the parents Of the bride

selves to the limit.
People of Brown county are we'll ac-

one of the principals in this event. He
is the son of Supt. John Cutting, a

Retrenchment Anticipated.

At the council meeting last Tuesday
evening the tax levy was made for the
coming year and it is some $4,000
lower than it was last year, and in the
summing up of the matter it was set
forth as the policy of the government
of the city to have an eye single to the
reduction of the Indebtedness of the
city in the future. The past few years
have been expensive ones, with the in
stallation of the city lightning plant
and now the new sewerage reconstruction,
but that out of the way the manage
ment feels that the city is in a fair way
toward freedom from the indebtedness
that hangs over it. The treasury shows
a very healty condition and the clerk
reports things in a very good condi-
ton on all hands. The chief Of the
fire department was instructed to see
that the law requiring asbestos cur
tains in theatres was complied with.
None Of the theatres have these cur
tains though Turner theatre has had
one ordered for sometime and expect
ed to have it in operation for the last
play but it has not arrived. Chas.
Brust Sr. was elected to fill the place
on the board of health made vacant by
the removal of G.. G. Rein from this
city.

the only thing that prevented the yard
