FOLK ON THE TARIFF

''Entrenched behind the Indifference

system has distorted the function OF
a free government into'tools of greed

in the guise of protection to American
industry, assembling as a friend to

operates as a clock for cunning, as
shield for monopoly, a tax upon in

in it's last analysis it is a graft and a
false pretense, conceived in greed and
brought fourth in avarice.
The tariff is essentially a col

upon the things Of daily use. And,
as every tax upon consumption tends
to limit consumption, it must precise

ZION CITY SHAKEN.
Open Revolt 10 Suppressed With Diff
Guilty in "Prophet's" Town.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. 13.-With the
resignation yesterday Of Deacon Irish
cashier of the Zion City bank, follow
ing the sensational declaration from
the tabernacle pulpit Sunday by Over
seer Cossum that Dowie's project was
a millenial dream and not a success
the people Of Zion City are greatly
excited.
So serious has the situation be-
come in the prolonged absence Of the
first apostle that scores Of Dowie's de-
tectives are with difficulty suppressing
open revolt and mass meetings to
protest against existing conditions.
The resignation Of Deacon Irish
surprised the people Of Zion and
served further to shake their conf
dence in the stability Of Zion institu-
tons. It has aroused suspicion that
complete financial collapse may be
coming. The reason generally assigned
for the resignation of Cashier Irish
is lack Of work at the bank.

Big Gathering Of Municipal Officials
at National Capital.
WILL DISCUSS IMPORTANT QUESTION
Plan to Recommend Uniform System
For Keeping Books of All the
Large Cities.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13-In response
to an invitation sent out by the Bureau
of the United States Census comptroll
ers, auditors, treasurers and other Off
Gals. connected with the municipal ac-
counts of various cities in this country
met today in conference with the heads
of the census department at the BAN
quet hall of the Arlington Hotel. The
invitations which had been sent out,
were limited to fiscal officials of cities
of over $4,000 inhabitants, but among
those coming to attend the conference
are also number of fiscal officials of
smaller cities in various parts Of the
country. The invitations were limited
as under the law municipal statistics
are collected only from cities Of thirty
thousand population.
In former years the officers of the
United States Census had great diff
Guilty in compiling satisfactory statis-
tics. owing to the fact that the methods
of keeping accounts in the different
cities varied to such an extent that II
was practically impossible to form the
statistical comparisons. To obviate
this difficulty and to make the methods
of accounting more uniform in the fut-
ure, this conference was called. II
will last two days and during that time
many prominent speakers will deliver
addresses, explaining the system en-
ployed in keeping the accounts OF
the irrespective municipalities Among
those who will address the conference
are Comptroller L. E. McGann, of Chic
ago; Joseph T. Tracy, Of the bureau
of inspection and supervision Of public
office, Columbus, o. T.; DR.. Edward M
Hartwell, Boston and Dr. Frederick A
Cleveland, of the National Municipal
League, New York.
