rates on these knives is made 40 per

tertal reductions are made in the rates
on files and the duty on cash regis
ters, jute manufacturing machinery,
typesetting machines, machine tools,
printing presses, sewing machines,
typewriters, and all steam engines, is
reduced to 80 per cent. ad valorem

Lumber Schedule.
In the lumber schedule the only In
creases were those on shingles from
80 cents to so cents per 1000, and on
briar wood and laurel wood for the
use of pipe makers from the free list
to Is per cent. ad valorem. The rate
on sawed lumber was decreased from
81 per 1000 to SIPS per 1000. There
was also diminution on timber from
one cent per cubic foot to one-half
cent, and on sawed boards of white
wood and kindred woods from 81 per
1000 to SO cents per 1000. The re-
duction in the differentiaI rates in
favor of dressed lumber averaged
about one-third of the Dingley rate.
Paving posts, railroad ties and tele-
phone poles are reduced from 20 to
10 per cent. ad valorem; clapboards
from $3.50 per 1000 to $1.25; laths
from 25 cents to 20 cents per 1000,
while fence posts and kindling wood
were taken from the dutiable list and
placed on the free list.
The only change in the sugar SEIZED
ule consisted of a reduction Of five
hundredths of a cent in the differen-
tial on refined sugar.
In agricultural products broom corn
was taken from the free list and made
dutiable at three dollars per ton.
Hops are increased from IL to 16
cents per pound. There are also in
creases on lemons, figs, almonds, pine
apples and chicory root The reduc-

Washington, Aug. THE schedules of
new tariff bill, with comparisons with
rates under the DinEley measure, are
as follows:
Rough lumber goes down from 81
TO s1.25 per thousand feet, with cor
responding reduction in the dideren-
tial on dressed lumber.
The wool schedule underwent no
change of consequence, but the en-
tire cotton schedule was reconstructed

and the phraseology greatly changed
I'm the hope of preventing reductions
through decisions by the courts such
as have characterized the administra-
ton of the Dingley law during latter
years. In many instances the rates
intended to be imposed by the Ding
ley law were cut by the decisions, the
reductions in some instances being
from go per cent. to eight per cent. ad
valorem. 1t is estimated that the
rates fixed by the bill are about three
per cent. higher upon an average than
those collected on cotton last year
Probably the most marked reduc-
tons throughout any schedule in the
bill as a result of the action of the
two houses and of the conference com
mittee are found in the metal SEIZED
ule. Beginning with decrease in the
rate of iron ore from 40 to Is cents
per ton, there is q general reduction
throughout that portion of the bill,
pig iron going down from 81 to $3.50
Ser ton, and scrap iron from 81 to 81
The reduction on many of the items in
this schedule amounts to- about so per
cent, and this reduction includes
steel rails. There is an increase on
structural steel ready for use and also
slight increase on razors, nippers
and pliers, and on such new metals
as tungsten.
Rates on Hosiery Increased.
The rates on hosiery are generally
Increased. In the much contested mat
ssr Of the rate on gloves the high pro
&ectionlsts fail to score. They sought,
Through an increase made by the
house, to raise the duty materially
above the Dingley figures, but were
&ntagonized by the senate, and the
senate won, the only change made in
the entire schedule being one slight
reduction.
The silk schedule was reconstructed
with view of imposing specific rath-
er than ad valorem dutiec, with the re-
suit that the average duty will be
somewhat higher under the new law
than under the present statute.
/ OIL cloths and hneoleum are heavt-
/ iy cut, but otherwise the changes in

Sugar and tobacco duties remain
substantially as they are under the
Dinglsy law. The free importation of
considerable quantities of both of
these articles from the Philippine is
lands Is permitted, and a material
change was made in the internal reve-
nue. law by an amendment taking the
tax of the sale Of tobacco in the hand.
There Is a uniform increase on spir-
Ats, wines and liquors of Is per cent.

In the agricultural schedule hons

on lemons, figs. almonds and pine

Senate Ideas Accepted.

Practically all the administrative
features of the bill which were adopt.
ed in the senate were accepted by the
conferees. They include a new maxi
mum and minimum feature, a corpo.
ration tax law instead of the inheri.
lance tax adopted by the house, au.
thorization for a bond issue to raise
money to build the Panama canal, aa
well as numerous other features.
The maximum and minimum provi-
sion prescribes duties in accordance
with the rates named in the dutiable
list until March 81, 1910. when %
per cent. ad valorem is to be added
automatically as the maximum duty.
The president is authorized to apply
the minimum rates, however, to i'm.
ports from a country which gives ita
best rates to the products OF the
United States and is made the judge
as to whether a foreign country &C.

The president is empowered also to

which can be terminated by diplomat

There is more catarrh in this section
ofthe country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced il
local disease and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing TO cure
with local treatment pronounced itincur-
able. Science has proven catarrh to be
a constitutional disease and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Ha's

GOOD COMPANY FOR 1909.

You are careful what choice of friends
the young people of your household
make. You do not open wide the door
to those whose speech and behavior be-
tray ill-breeding and lax morals. Are
you as careful to shut it against books
and periodicals that present vulgar and
demoralizing pictures of life and itspnr-
pose? Perhaps you are among those who
have found that the Youth S Companion
occupies the same place in the family
reading that the high-minded young man
or woman holds among your associates.
The Companion is good without being
"goody -goody." 1t is entertaining, il is
informing. In it's stories it depicts life
truly, but it chooses those phases of life
in which duty, honor, loyalty are the
guiding motives.

Life insurance statistics show
that in the last twenty Live years
the average duration of life has in
creased by two years. This is en-
couraging and due mainly to great
ermedical and surgicalknowledge,
improved sanitation and general
batter conditions of life. If more
people would stop burning the
candle at both ends by fast living
and injudicious habits the coming
years would show an even greater
increase. 1t is only too true, as
the refrain of an old song says, that
with many people, "It is not the
miles we travel but the pace that
kills" Certainly the pace of our
modern American life is too rapid
and it is to that fact we have SO
many nervous wrecks and sudden
deaths.

If wealthy banker or trust
magnate is convicted OF embezzle-
ment or other crime and sentenced
to prison, persistent efforts are
sure to be made to have him par
doned after he has served but q
few months, and for some reason
or other the attempt usually sue
ceeds. We fail to see why this
should be. Why should man
who defrauds hundreds of his fell
low men, and who by his wrong
doing reduces families to poverty
and perhaps causes some wretched
victim to commit suicide, receive
greater consideration than poor
man who is sentenced to a long
term of Imprisonment because,per-
haps. in his necessity, he commit
ted theft? If anything it should
work the other way, for the higher
the position and the responsibility
the graver the offense when it is
committed.
