Dentistry on a gigantic scale was
practiced at Ringing Brothers circus
one day last week when one of the
molars of Pete, big elephant. was ex-
tracted. The task was more like hoist

Old Pete suffered with toothach2.
He couldn't sleep nights, nor coul |
anything else within three cars of him
when the molar got down to business.

The Difficulty.

The New York Tribune" remarks
that ut ought not to be difficult for the
United States and Germany to come to
satisfactory understanding" True,
it ought not to be difficult But it has
been made difficult by the alliance be-
tween Tariff ripping Republicans and
Tariff ripping Democrats working in
such organizations rs the American
Reciprocal Tariff League to break
down the Protective rates Of the Ding
ley Tariff. Germany has been misled
by this combination into supposing that
American sentiment supported her de-
mand for Tariff concessions. She is
now discovering her error, and &C.
cordingly postpones her maximum
Tariff another eighteen months. Once
Germany is convinced that the United
States has no intention of abandoning
its Protective Tariff system there will
be no difficulty in coming to an under
standing.

brings order out of chaos.

honest dealing Is bound to bring sue,

Close attention and thorough work
will prevent disaster and save time

complaining about bad luck" is ad.

at fault.

grain Of salt" Wise men do not need
to advertise their wisdom. No one
knows 1t all.
Some one once said, and truthfully,
too, that poultry culture is made up of
a chain Of little things, one link out of
place making a bad kink in the whole
chain.

THE OWOSSO TIMES.
EDMUND o. DEWEY, EDITOR.
OwOSSO. FRIDAY. FEB. 90, 1907
The Farmers and the Tariff.

The Hon. John Sharp Williams, of
Mississippi, leader of the Democrats in
the House of Representatives., is a
Tariff ripper of the most pronounced
type. Usually he is for ripping up the
Tariff root and branch; but recently the
gentleman from Mississippi appeared
for the moment at least as the champion
of Protection for the farmers. He
thinks, or says he thinks, that the agri.
cultural interests of the country have
not had the recognition they deserve at
the hands of those who make the Tariff
bills.
Now, Mr. Williams must know Q)
that the present Dingley law gives a
larger measure OF direct benefit to the
farmers of this country than was ever
accorded them in any previous measure,
and (2) that every Tariff ripper who has
lifted up his voice for Tariff reform
during the last ten years has had in
mind some scheme whereby the measure
of Protection granted to the farmers of
the country should be reduced directly
or traded off for the benefit of some
manufacturer t.:.
Time aud again has objection been
raised to the duties on cereals and 10 the
duty on hides-direct benefit to the
Sarmers--while the entire scheme Of
Canadian reciprocity has no other pur-
pose than to put the farmers of Ameri-
On into direct competition with the
farmers of Canada, in return for free
access to Canadian markets for certain
manufactured products Of this country.
Nothing can be clearer than this,
that if Tariff revision were undertaken
today the farmers interests would be
sacrificed or the attempt to revise would
fail 1t would seem that this sudden
appearance of Mr.. Williams as champ
ion of Protection for the farmers must
be in the nature of q dust throwing
performance, and nothing else.-Cedar
Rapids Republican.

as follows: The present method is IN
equitable in that it dsclfmlnatcs
against the small schools; it Is based
upon an incorrect and unsatisfactory
report: the money should be used for
instruction only; ii should be appor-
toned at certain amount per teacher
and should be apportioned but once
year instead Of semi-annually as now.
November being the proper time to
make the distribution; if the present
method is to be pursued. then the leg
islature should provide that when any
district receives n larger amount than
it uses for instruction the balance
should be covered back into the state
treasury. Supt Wright contends that
the purpose Of legislation is to secure
the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der, and believes that the proposed
changes would relieve the trying
school conditions in hundreds OF school
districts OF the state Of Michigan with
but distressing any single district"
Railway Valuation,
On Friday last the State Board OF
Assessors concluded months review
OF railroad assessments, and declared
the valuation Of all the railroad prop
erty in the state to be $207 ,5tS,OOO, as
against last years assessment Of $203.
O51O0O. The total tax which the com
panies will pay this year Is SAT-
1850. Last years total was 1854
021.45. The reduction in this years
revenue Notwithstanding the increased
valuation Of railroad properties is due
TO the decrease this year in the aver
age rate of taxation In the state. This
year the average rate is $l6.4676 per
$1,000 Of valuation. Last year the rate
vas s174046 per $1,000.

''The beet sugar industry has done
more than any one thing toward the
good roads reform. The farmers haul
ing their grain can wait until the roads
are good, but the farmers who get So
an acre or over for their beets must
deliver when the factory needs them,
and this is at time of year when the
roads are always bad. Last year the
amount of beets sliced increased over
one-third, and the industry should in.
crease in the near future to $40, 900, 000
year in Michigan.
Beet sugar is marketed at from 90 to
% per cent below the market for the
cane product, and therefore the con-
sumers are saved in the neighborhood
of 81, $50, 900 year by purchasing the
domestic product. The beet sugar Of
the United States is the largest source
of supply, and is 30 per cent more than
the production of all the cane sugar in
the United States, including the posses
sions. Colorado stands first in this and
California and Michigan are running a
neck and neck race for second place in
the production of beet sugar. This
growth is In the face of the fact that
sugar from Cuba comes into the United
States at reduction of so per cent of
the tariff schedule, and from Porto
RIGA and the Philippines absolutely
free. 1 therefore hold that in any re-
vision of the tariff sugar has had it's
proportinate share of any reduction
that is to be made"

Where the Farmer Comes In.

In the calendar year 1905 American
manufactures of iron and steel exported
to foreign countries amounted in value
to $172, 500, 900, against $4,000, 900 in
1905, 1928, 100000 in 1904, and 500. 1000, :
600 in 1908, having thus increased i75
per cent in three years. This $172, 500,
900 for 1906 is high record of exports of
iron and steel manufactures. Paid to
the producers of the United States by
consumers in other parts of the world,
it is the equivalent of yearly wages of
$500 each, earned by 34,400 American
workmen and by them distributed into
