in the morning and continued
falling the entire day, Saturday

the country needs for some time,
has worked wonders in the crop
situation althO The News esti-
mate on the small grain outlook,
made last week, will not be en-
larged. Everything else in the
crop line is doing as well as any
body could or, perhaps we had
better say, ought to wish for
From Sunday on this way the
days have been clear and warm

Great pains have been taken for Two
years with the education OF five spans Of

Il IS believed IN East Africa that the

demonstrated If IT were possible the gov
eminent would rapidly push the work Of
tanning zebras and breaking them 20 har-

the peculiar talent and liking for this

Never Free Trade.
- - - - -

From the New Orleans Plcay1ne.
Il would be difficult 70 commit a more
aggregious absurdity than is perpetrated
By talk about free trade and tarin demo
Ition. There is and can be TO such thing
as free trade in foreign goods in this
country. for the reason that the expenses
Of the republic are a billion. that is to
say. a thousand million. dollars a year.
We must have that much money every
year to meet the ordinary demands Of
the United States government and that
enormous sum can only be got out Of a
tariff for rerenue on all foreign goods
imported into this country. added TO what
is received from the internal revenue tax
levied on home products
Therefore. i IS an absolute inpossi-
bility for this country TO maintain itself
without maintaining a tariff on all for
eign goods imported into the country.
But such a tariff should be a tariff for
revenue. and not one for the creation
Of rnonopolies 70 enrich favored classes.
There are many articles that could aud
would be imported from abroad which
would contribute TO the revenue If they
were not kept out by excessive exac-
tons. As they are not imported they DO
! pot pay any tariff charges.
