THE TARIFF ROBBERY.

THE TARIFF ROBBERY.
1t is proposed by the Democrats to abate
the tariff tax on building material for San
Francisco while that city is being rebuilt
But the Republican stAndpatters are secret
ly opposing 1t, as 1t will call attention TO the
iniquities Of the present tariff law, which
fosters trusts and combines and protects
them In obtaining and continuing present
high prices. The Democrats in Congress
will unite in voting for rebating the duties
paid on all building material used in the
stricken city and would welcome decrease
OF the tariff rates now paid by the whole
country.
The tariff tax on steel, glass, nails and
lumber IL all protective OF the combines that
aim TO control the price and avoid competi-
ton. The tariff on structural steel, nails,
etc., Is from SO per cent to 81 per cent. On
common window glass from 81 to 116 per
cent. according to size, and on plate glass
from 40 to 40 per cent. On lumber planed
on one side % per cent and up to 80 per cent
for flooring On paints from 4S TO 70 per
cent and on linseed oil 81 per cent.
There are other materials that are used In
building which pay an average percentage
as follows Brick and tile 80. cement %,
iron and steel pipe 80, lead SO, lime "a, mar.
bic 90. wall paper %. stone 90, tin plates 50.
varnish 81.
To refund these tariff taxes will be an
enormous saving to the home builders OF San
Francisco, and will open the eyes Of home
builders everywhere to the tax upon build.
ing homes.
The trusts and combines have such firm
control OF the market for most OF the ma
terials that enter into buildings that they
have Increased prices since the tariff bill was
enacted fully 40 per cent ON the average,
and there is bot little opportunity for COM
petition to keep them within reasonable
bounds. The materials that enter into
just as much as pig iron is to finished
stove. The question TO be considered by
voters In electlng the next Congress Is wheth-
or they will vote TO reduce the tariff rates
enough TO induce foreign competition, unless

TWO FINE FARM SPECIMENS
Splendid Samples of Corn brought to This
 Office During the Week.

An evidence of the fine crop of corn raised in Faulkner county this year was two fine specimens brought to The Log Cabin Demo- crat office during the past week.
 The first was brought by Elmer A. Stevens, who lives in String town" settlement north of Conway. It was a cluster of about 20 stalks of popcorn, containing about 24 we'll developed ears, all of which sprang from one seed.
 B. D. Moix left with us the longest stalk of Indian corn on record, so far as we know. It measures 17 feet 4 inches in length, and bears two perfect ears of corn. MT. Moix says he has five acres of corn, almost equally fine.

An Adventurous Correspondent.

Few newspapers in the United States are able to command the services of as brilliant a corps ol correspondents as the The Chicago Record Herald. Its choice o Walter Wellman to represent Il at Washington is good illustrat ion of its wise policy of getting the best there is to be had. MT. We'll man has won a national reputation as a magnetic and resourceful news writer. And now he is pre- pairing to clinch his reputation for originality and daring by trying to reach the north pole ln an air ship.
 Whatever may be the results of MT. Wellman's daring attempt to reach the pole this summer in an airship and send the news ot the voyage at once to The Record Herald by wireless telepraph, the Wellman Record Herald expedi- ton is sure to be conducted by MT. Wellman with the same cool courage and wholesouled enthus- iasm that have made him an ideal newspaper correspondent.
 MT. Wellman was born Ill Men tor, Ohio, in 1858. At I4 he be- gan his newspaper experience, es- tablishing at that age a weekly pa per in the little town ot Sutton Neb. In 1884 he became the Washington correspondent ot the Chicago Herald, for which paper he visited the West Indies in 1892 and located the landing place ot Columbus, marking the spot with huge stone monument. In 1894 he made his first dash tor the pole, reaching the latitude oi S1 degrees northeast of Spitzber- gen. In 1898 he tried the same facinating quest again, penetrat- ing as far as Franz Josef Land. On both trips he had wonderful success in discovering new islands and securing new scientific data which have been of great value to the American Geographical So ciety. His voluminous writings for scientific periodicals and pop ular magazines have shown the same incisive thought and keer insight that have marked his Journalistic work.
