CALL FOR TRIBUTE
TRUE iNWARDNEss OF THE NEW
TARIFF LAW.
Measure Amounts to a Shameful Be.
trayaI of the People In the In.
terests OF the Great
Monopolles.

II is an exploded axiom that figures
can not lie. In economies the device
most commonly employed to deceive
the public is figures. The country
is TO be flooded with tables, compari.
sons and other mystifying data to
convince the people that they will
gain under the operation of the new
tariff law. The people are not expert IN
Analysing figures, much less in dis.
secting schedules and all that affects
them under the administration OF the
tariff; but here are some things that
the people either know now or soon
will learn to their sorrow:
Instead of a reduction In the cost
Of living, which was clearly prom.
ised by both parties represented in
congress
There will be an enormous increase
In the cost Of woulens and mems suits.
wOmcn's dresses, underwear and hats
made from WOODEN fabrics. not be
cause the rates on these articles have
been increased, but because the pres.
ont excessive rates have not been r..
duced, and because, under these rates,
q vast trust has been formed to con
troll wooden manufactures.
There will be a large increase in
the cost of cotton fabrics and nearly
all articles made from these fab.
RIGS. including women's and childrens
clothing.
The cost Of sugar will remain the
same and each family will continue 20
pay two cents a pound more for its
sugar than the same sugar sells for in
London
There viii! be no reduction in the
cost of -four bread meats or potatoes
and there will be large increases in
the cost of lemons and pineapples.
Hosiery will cost more and gloves
will cost about the same, both Of
which articles are excessively expeu.
sive under the present law
These are only few Of the articles
entering into large and general neces-
sary use. The cost will be increased
on many others and lowered on only a
few. The reductions granted affect
mainly raw materials. leaving the peo-
pie entirely at the mercy of the manu-.
facturers rs to whether the public
shall share in the benefits Of such
reductions.
1t is submitted that bill, bearing
these general features, having this
broad tendency to increase rather
than lower the cost Of living, embodes
q fragrant betrayal Of the people
Get your tribute ready. The cost Of
living Is to be maintained, for time
Mt least In order that the graft of the
trusts shall be protected and made %
flourish.
Get your tribute ready.

by this method, often he fails, but at
any rate he always tries it. Thus
gradually lengthening his casts he
reaches the center of the pool, where
the big fellows usually lie, and last of
all the foaming chute by which the
water rushes in from above. And so
ever thoroughly, ever leisurely, he
pushes up the brook. Where the brush
is especially thick and the breezes can
rot penetrate, the mosquitoes and no
see-'ems assail him saVagely. He pro-
duces a small bottle of fly dope and
rubs it well into his neck and face to
repel these pests-the inevitable thorn
on the June anglers rose-until he
reaches a breezier spot

to the occasion. The angler lays aside
rod and creel and collects few pieces
of dry drftWood, for what is lunch
without a hot cup of coffee?
Just above the lunching spot a pool
appears across the center of which
small poplar has fallen, making
nasty snag as the swift current sweeps
under it, A cast below the impedi-
ment brings a fair sized fish But he
knows that most of the inhabitants of
the pool are lying beneath the snag
with their heads pointed upstream.
Carefully he wades across in order to
cast above the snag. Splash! A big
fellow is fast this time, but the cast

found the snag and the trout on the
dropper is acting like a dancer on
tight rope. No help for it, Into the
pool the angler rushes and by the
grace of the red gods nets the trout
and saves him against hope. The
other fish in the pool have received
scare that will last them an hour,
but this one is worth tia good four
teen inches.
Around the next bend the roar of

a dozen futile attempts and perhaps a

last the fly drops on just the right swirl
of the current the expected rise almost
always follows. Nobody has had the
patience to persist in just that way be
fore, and so some good trout has lain
safely there for weeks.
When the angler approaches the
larger pools he is in no hurry to reach
the best water at once. He drops his
flies first on the shadows where the
water glides from the pool into the
rapids below, then about the nearer

Arthur Conklin, the proprietor of

from the National Editorial Associa-

exposition and a trip to South
western Alaska. This latter expert
ence was highly enjoyable from his
account, and everyone who has made
the trip speaks of it as the event Of

They made their first landing at

among the islands until they reached
Juneau, the capital OF the big terri.

as Treadwell and its great mines
which produce annually over $4,000

went on to the west, stopping at
Cordova, where they took train
% miles up the Copper river. AT
Seward they made another railroad
trip 81 miles into the interior.
The incidents OF the trip were
many of course, but they were all of
a pleasant nature. The excursion
covered twenty days from the time
they left Seattle until they returned.
