Council Bluffs, June 10. w. van
Cleave of New York, president OF the
National Association Of Manufacturers,
4, On ;nteryiew here on the tariff and
the expressed attitude Of the associa-
ton, said:
"I Is a business revision, not pollt-
ical revision of the tariff that is asked
for nv the National Manufacturers as
sociation." That action has been very
much misunderstood.
The manufacturers are not suggest
ing that any particular schedules De
raised. or that any be lowered. and are
not saying that they are being ropoeo
by the tariff In taking the action they
did take, they believed they were act
ing in the interests of the people OIL
the United States, and hope that their
purpose can be accomplished from a
business view point without menacing
their unprecedented prosperity.
The resolutions adopted by the
manufacturers noted:
First. that some of the schedules OF
the present tariff are out of line made
so by reason of the business conditloP
of the country resulting from the mar
velous prosperity of the country.
Second that believing in the prin-
cipe of protection and tariff for rev.
enue the revision of the tariff is not
In any sense political question, but
belonging wholly to the business end
OF the government.
Third in the opinion of the manu-
featuring interests of the country
some schedules should be revised, and
non partisan tariff commission, au-
tnorized by congress. This commission
should at the earliest opportunity take
the tariff schedule by schedule
and recommend such changes
as should be made. both re-
duction and increase, and that re-
port of the commission should be pre-
scented to special session of congress
Immediately after the Inauguration of
March 4. 1909.
Immediately after this action was
taken by the association, the persons
who have been crying for tariff re-
vision for some time made the claim
that we We're with them. We are with
them to this extent: that if after the
commission has passed upon every
schedule it finds that there are any
that should be revised, We are for re-
vision, whether it is upward or down.
ward. If the commission finds that
there are no schedules that need revis-
ing we shall expect a report Of such
findings
MANY people overlook the fact that
revision does not necessarily mean the
lowering of schedules. 1t applies equal
ly to the raising of the tariffs.
1--WE want this matter taken up in a
business way, not in a political way,
such as brought about the defeat of
these men. They We're defeated by
demagogues and demagogic appeals.
The manufacturers have no such in
terests as that. They want to have
the present prosperity continue, and
believe it can best be preserved by
heading off stampede"

Our farmers are now feeling conf
dent that they will have an abundant
hay crop this fall. A few weeks ago,
during the extremely dry weather,
many Of the best posted of the farmers
thought that the hay crop for the year
would be almost a total failure, and
that even II wet weather should come,
it might benefit other crops, but they
feared that as far as the hay crop was
concerned that was almost past all
hope. The cool weather, however, kept
back the growth to such an extent that
when the heavy rains commenced to
fall and the weather still continued
cold. it gave the grass full chance to
mature and strengthen before shoot
ing up the seed stalks, and now it is
making excellent progress.

fallen. Monday forenoon another heavy
fall occurred. These two rains, COM
bined with those before, have wet up
the ground in good shape and insured
a good crop Of grain, besides livening
up the pastures There is consider

rotting in the field. Corn that is up
looks yellow and needs warm, sun
