Has Been Buncoed.

Senator Allison, of Iowa, has no illu-
sions concerning the scheme of revis-
ing the tariff through reciprocity. He
says "The danger of attempting to
fix tariff rates by means of individual
treaties negotiated by the president
and approved by the senate lies in the
fact that it involves the raising Of
revenue without the consent of the
house of representatives, whereas the
house is specifically given by the con-
stitution the exclusive right to orig
mate all revenue measures. 1t is a
bad thing to split up the two houses OF
congress and set them at odds, with
ltIe president necessarily siding with
one OF them That is inevitable when
a treaty is negotiated which seeks to
change the duties fixed by both houses
of congress. 1t gives to the president
legislative functions he was. not in
tended to exercise, and ignores the
one branch of congress which the con-
stitution intended to have all the pow
er of initiative over revenues" 1t is
on the grounds stated by the senator
that the constitutionality of the Jug
handled German reciprocity just nego-
tiated by the president and Secretary
Root is to be tested in the courts.
There is not the shadow of doubt
that this country has been buncoed
in this treaty.-Bay City Tribune.

Tariff Reduction by Treaty.

The goods imported from Germany
are virtually under the new agree
ment allowed to enter at the value
certified by the German chambers of
commerce. Thus the duty on German
goods is less than that exacted upon
the products of other countries, which
are subject to an ad valorem rate of
duty, because the lower the value at
which imports are appraised the less
the duty. Until we allow France
England and other countries the same
favor it can hardly be called square
deal. The Manufacturers association
and the standpatters object to this
agreement with Germany because it
thus reduces the rate of duty in this
roundabout way.-Salem Qll) Demo

Oh iect to the New Law.

After having been in annual session
for two days at Flint the fire insur-
ance agents of Michigan have adjourn
ed to meet next year at Saginaw. The
reinsurance enactment of the last
legislature came up for consideration
at the business session and was held
to work a needless hardship upon
firms and individuals who take out fire
insurance, in the way of a duplication
of their signatures to applications for
policies. A committee, consisting OF
Judge Brevoort, of Detroit; G. L. Wea-
dock of Saginaw, and Fred B. Spear,
of Bay City, was appointed to take the
matter up with Gov. Warner and Com
missioner of Insurance Barry with
view to having the Objectionable enact
ment repealed or amended at the next
session of the legislature.

How to Make EyeIets.

There's new way of making those
troublesome eyelets, discovered by a
girl who is locally famous for invent
ing labor-saving ideas, says the Wash
ington Star. 1t consists of running
the eyelet around and then cutting it
from end to end and buttonholing it,
making the stitches as deep as those
upon the usual buttonhole, but revers.
ing the stitch so that the edge stitches
back upon the material instead of
around the open edge of the eyelet.
1t is about one-fifth as hard to do
as the usual way, and the difference
in length Of time is even more
marked.

State Road Sinks from siaht.

A mile north of the village of Davi-
son on the old state road a section of
the highway five or six rods in length
and varying from so to IS feet in
width has disappeared entirely, having
sunk out of sight during the night,
leaving a deep natural reservoir with
water. The sink hole has been ex-
plored to a depth of 60 feet, but as yet
no bottom has been found. No cause
is known for the phenomena and there
is no present prospect that the hole
can be filled up and the roadway re-
stored at that point The road runs
north from Dawson through to Bay
City and is one Of the main travelled
highways in that part of the county.

UNsELFIsHNEss.

The porch-hens I'LL the piazza chairs.
And read and embroider and knit;
From morn till night they never desert
The comfortable spot where they sit.
They watch the stage and the office door.
And the bay where the sea-gulls flock.
And nothing battles their searchlight
gaze
AS they gossip and rock and rock.
I'm the only girl-that's alive-in the
place.
And there's but one possible man.
So fiirt with him quite outrageously
Whenever I publicly can;
For the porch-hens' lives are arid and
dull.
And they pine for some pleasant shock,
So I give them something to talk about,
AS they gossip and rock and rock.
He's the dullest man on the coast OF
Maine,
And he bores me until ache,
But I sacrifice my feelings to keep
Those poor old ladies awake;
I sit with him out on the moonlit pier
Till the dampness ruins my frock,
While they spy and thrill with scandal
lied glee,
AS they gossip and rock, and rock.
And when. sometime in the early fall,
The man that care for arrives,
Such proof of my arrant duplicity
Will give them the time of their lives.
Yet none of them would admit the fact.
At the very thought they would mock,
But I've made the spice of the summer
to them,
AS they gossip and rock, and rock.

Wouldn't IL Be Better?

The constitution of the United
States wisely provides that all meas
ures for the raising Of revenue shall
originate in the house of representa-
tives. This is because the house of
representatives is supposed to be
closer to the people than any other
body. Almost without exception our
experience has shown that when mat
ters like this are left to the state de-
partment the United States gets the
worst of it, Wouldn't 1t be better to
adhere strictly to the spirit as well as
to the letter of the constitution and
let congress pass on all these mat
tiers? Cedar Rapids Republican,

A Summer Vacation.

When he's at home he yearns each day
To quit the place; to go away
Where purling streams or breakers whit
Make restful music, day and night.
And so he takes
The train and makes
A bee line for some rural site.
But when the sunburn strikes his arm
And noisy revelry alarms
His slumber that seems all too brief
And fierce mosquitoes cause him grief.
He packs his grip
And makes the trip
To town once more. with great relief.

Echo of A. Hill Charues,

Gov. Warmers communication re-
ceived in an executive session of the

prove the charges against Hon. Arthur
Hill of Saginaw, during the senatorial
contest, has just been made public
through it's publication in the execu-
tive journal. The letter states: 1T has
come to me through the state press
and other sources that there was OBJ
lection raised to the confirmation Of
this appointment on the ground that
Mr.. Bird was responsible for the state
ment given out by me during the late
senatorial contest. alone was respon-
sible for that statement and believed
it my duty to take the position l did,
and / am ready and willing to defend
my course at any time the legislature
desires to take action"

IMPORTS FOR JULY, 1907.
Increase Has Much Significance fep
Thinking Men.

Imports for July, 1907, amounted to
1924. 1884, 63, against $1O2,592. 449 for
July, 1906; increase. $22,171.614. OF
dutiable and competitive goods the
value imported in July. 1907, was
$67,SS0,S01, being an increase OF
$6,533,935 over July of last year. The
non-dutiable imports for July, 1907,
amounted to $50. 1888, 7O2; increase over
July, 1906, $15,637.679
On its face this increase in the
value of competitive goods, 1888, 1886,
does not appear to be more than nor
NAL. 1t is, in fact, less than the in
crease Of July, 1906, over July, 1905,
which was s12,770, 649.
The fact that this rate of increase
was not maintained for July, 1907, may
turn out to be due to decrease in tn.
invoice values of the merchandise i'm
be accurately ascertained until COM
parison shall have been made between
quantities imported in July, 1906, and
July, 1907, respectively.
Under the terms of the export price
privilege which went into operation
July 1, 1907, the local chambers of
commerce of Germany, France and
Great Britain are permitted to name
the dutiable values of goods exported
to the United States. Previous to
July /, 1907 the basis of dutiable value
was the current wholesale market
price in the exporting country.
1t is important to know the extent
to which dutiable values have been
affected by this export price" priv
ilege. If there has been general re-
duction in invoiced values, the in
crease of $6,533,S35 over the value of
dutiable goods imported in July, 1906,
carries with it much larger proper
ton of increase in quantities.
Domestic producers will expect
from the department Of commerce and
labor, at the earliest moment practical
BILE, comparative statement showing
quantities Of dutiable imports
for the month of July In
1906 and 1907, and for sue
ceeding months. In no other way can
the whole truth be ascertained as to
the practical workings of the export
price" privilege. And the whole truth
is wanted as promptly as possible.

Peaches at Record Price.

A shortage in the September peach
crop has seriously affected the price
of that fruit. The heavy frosts of No
vember last year are responsible, it is
said, for the failure of a large part
of the Michigan crop and many orch
ards in Ohio also were damaged
Prices range from one dollar to $1.50
higher per bushel than last year and
dealers say that this condition will OBJ
[ tain throughout the season. Prices to
the retailer range from $3.50 to three
dollars a bushel for the best grades
of yellow peaches and from two dol
lars to $3.50 a bushel for the white
variety. Baskets wholesale at from
80 to 40 cents and there is little choice
fruit now in the market, even at that
price.

Several Good Uses for Tape.

Have bolt of tape in your sewing
basket and use it to put hangers on
waists, skirts, night gowns and petit
coats. Sew the hangers on the sleeve
seam underneath the arm and sew on
each side of the belt of skirt. Gar
ments which are hung by these hang
ers will keep their shape much longer
and will not be pulled and stretched.
These are especially good for plaitetd
skirts, as the plaits fall into shape
when the skirts are hung up.
