THE DUTY ON ART.
How II Came to Be imposed and When
It Will BE Removed.

It Will BE Removed.
Here is a bill ito reduce the duties
on works Of art imported into the
United States from the present duty
of 20 per cent to per cent ad valo-
rem" Some people in the United
States thought that the duty on art
was put there for protection to Ameri-
can artists. Nobody ever had that idea
that knew anything about the tariff.
They Were simply looking around for
revenue.
Why, in the preparation Of the Nc
Kinley bill had the honor to make
motion In committee to put art on
the free list, the same things that gen.
tlemen now propose to put in at 5 per
cent and that carried through the com
mittee and through the house and went
over to the senate. but that body
thought we needed the revenue, and
they put duty of 20 per cent on art.
and when the bill came down here the
conferees, of whom was not one.
yielded to it, and the duty went back
again at 20 per cent. Coming down to
the Wilson bill, nay friend from West
Virginia (Mr. Wilson, came to me. and
said he understood l had studied up
the subject Of free art when we were
making up the Mckinley bill and had
reported it from the committee or had
moved it in the committee. told him
YES" Well, he wanted to know what
/ would do If they put it on the free
list. Isaid:"I will sustain 1t. | was for
1t in the committee and will be for it
now"
Well, he did put 1t on, and, II my rec
objection is correct, that is one Of the
things that survived out Of that bill
of "perfidy and dishonor' enacted by
the Democratic party, and there 1t re-
NAMED until we framed the Dingley
bill. We were looking around for rev.
enue, and we thought this would be Il
good place to get 1t. We put 20 per
cent on, with clause that by CONNER
cial arrangement it could be reduced
to Is per cent. 1t has been reduced to
10 per cent with most countries, In
Guiding France, Italy, Germany and
Switzerland. Last year we collected
$774,000 by this duty on art simply as
a revenue duty. Now, If have any
thing to do with framing the next tar
If bill, If the prospects for revenue
ere all right, do not see any reason

She doesn't like to go to school.

She finds it hard to keep the rule
When told to wash the dishes.
She hates to get up In the morn
And help her wornout mother
And thinks it hard lines she was born
Herself and not another.

And scorns it when she gets 1t.

That the people Of Montpelier are
deeply interested in the education of
their youth, is evidenced by the fac,
that from year to year they cheer
