a hint in the senate today at an effort
to fix time for a final vote on the
railroad bill, but it was surrounded
by SO much circumspection and doubt
that no prediction as to the time would
be justified. Tillman stated that he
would bring the matter up tomorrow
and, unless objection was made, he
may ask to have day specified.
The suggestion as to time arose in

report of Assistant Secretary of State
Herbert n D. Peirce, regarding the
consular service in the Orient.
The visit of Mr.. Peirce included
many cities, but his severe criticism is

ance of fraudulent Chinese certificates,

claim to be American citizens, persecu-
tion of American citizens for purposes

Choose the Plodtler, Girls.

You had better think twice,
young lady, before passing the
plodder for the ''swell'' fellow.
The plodder may be off little
in the cut of clothes, and he may
not shine at the party like your
"man," but he is saving his wind
and will come down the home
stretch so fast he will throw dust
all over the other fellow. Poke
fun at him now, if you choose, but
some day you viii have to get spy
glass to see him, lie will stand 50
far above you. The swell fellow
treats you lovely now, tells you you
are pretty. dances lovely, buys you
ice cream, and takes you buggy
riding. Then he has shot his bolt.
He is all in, and ice cream and bug
gy rides are things Of the past. He
will be living on your folks or bis
own, while the plodder will be
building a new house, buying an
other farm or two, planning to take
his wife on trip east to a place
where her father and mother did
their sparkling. The plodder youth
is good sort of a fellow to tie to.
True, some of them remain plod-
ders all their lives, but the MAORI
ty of them eventually acquire speed.
The swell fellow goes 30 fast when
he is young that he has no wind
for the latter part of life's race

The Tariff on Salt.

Every three people, on the aver
age, use a barrel of salt a year.
The total amount consumed last
year was 26,S72, 700 barrels, which
included only 1.15l, 1873 barrels inn
ported from foreign countries. The
tariff duty on salt is IL cents ,per
100 pounds in packages and 8 cents
per 100 pounds if imported in
bulk. This amounts to 1892 per
cent duty on salt in packages and
SO. I6 per cent duty in bulk, ac-
cording to the government statis-
tics of imports for 1905. This
large protective tariff duty allows
the Salt Trust to charge about
double the price salt would sell for
than it would If the duty was abol-
ished. So when q farmer buys u
barrel of salt about one-half the
price he pays is increased profit to
the trust, because the trust is pro-
tected from competition. The salt
imported in packages cost in the
country from which it was import
ed, 40 cents per hundred pounds,
and the salt in bulk 10 cents per
hundred pounds. Salt can be made
here at about the same cost as
abroad, 30 the profits of the trust,
it will be seen are enormous. AS
the Salt Trust is protected by the
tariff from 33 to SO per cent, or all
average of over So per cent every
family has to pay about double fol
what they use in consequence Of
this special protection to the trust
The Salt Trust is but one of many
trusts that plumber the American
people, and yet the Republican
leaders have decided to stand pa
and let the plundering continue
Do you Republicans feel inclined
to follow your leaders program?

FOREIGN MISSION RECEIPTS FOR
OCTOBER

Our receipts for October were $685.
922.52, which is $6,370.09 less than the
receipts of October, 1905.
Our receipts for the year also, which
have heretofore been somewhat in ad-
vance of the previous year, are thus
brought over to the minus side of the
account. This loss, taken in connection
with what we must necessarily lose in
our future receipts from storms, which
have almost ruined some of our best
contributing churches in the South and
Southwest, gives us a very gloomy out
look for the remainder of this year. I'm
less some of those whom God has blessed
financially can now see their way clear
to come forward with individual gifts,
with which to meet these losses, we
shall be compelled to put a stop to some
of the most promising work which has
been undertaken by our Missions during
the present year. We especially appeal
to all our church treasurers who have
any funds at all on hand for the Foreign
Mission cause to forward them to us as
promptly as possible.
