Letter to j. ii. Kemp,

Dear Sir-The maker, who puts or 3 lbs
of whiting barytes or clay in a gallon of
paint, saves 81 so or 1925 for himself and
makes you overpay S25 on a $50 job
1t takes 10 gallons of his weak paint-it is
weak from that adulteration and probably
weak from benzine or water besides-t
takes Is gallons of that poor stuff to cover a
l0-gallon job Devoe; it may take 20. Here S
a case.
Judge |. d. Fairchild owns two houses,
exactly alike, in Lufkin, Texas. J. NJ. Tor
renee painted both houses, one Devoe, l5l
gallons the other with another paint sold
at same price; p gallons. That % gallon
paint is weak and 10 per cent. whiting that 5
why 1t took "a gallons more.
II costs 81 to 81 gallon to paint any paint,
whether good or not Add this to the price
and the cost of your job is 50 gallon S75
or 500 for trash DevOe $50.
Paint that takes more gallons may or may
not be adulterated there are pure paints
and 200 adulterated; Devoe Is the strongest
of all it takes least gallons, makes the least
bill, and wears longest, of all.
You can Overpay from 10 to l20 per cent {;
and the more you pay, the worse your job.
In paint the rule is least gallons, least cost,
longest wear.
Yours truly,
F. W. DENoE a Co,
P. Sd. w. SHEA sells our paint.

IL settled right. The wrong kind\of
tarif bin passed by this congress will
simply leave the question open and
we VIII have tariff. tariff. tariff-~agi-
tation. and eventually injury TO the
working man."
You think the time well spent
which Is now being given TO a discus
sion OF the schedules?"
The time" said the senator, lis
well spent II In the end IL avoids the
possibility OF an immediate renewal
OF the agitation. The renewal OF bus
mess In itself does not necessarily
settle the tariff question.
Some people seem to overlook the
fact that the demand for revision OF
the tariff arose not from a condition
OF depressed business, but grew In the
public mind at a time when business
activity was at its greatest. The de-
mand seemed to find its inspiration In
the thought that q general reduction
always within the limits OF real pro-
tection-would lessen the tendency to-
ward monopoly and would restore a
healthy measure OF competition. The
present case is different from that OF
1897. At that time revision was I'M
dertaken under a depressed business
condition. attributed largely TO an In
sufficient protection under the existing
tariff schedules. At that time every
one understood 1t meant a general up
ward tendency.
II believe, and I think the opinion
Is generally shared by other Republi-
cans who have helped to make the
fight. that before the bill is completed
concessions will be made until we get
fair revision"
How about the committee bill? Sen
ator Aldrich claims that Republican
members should take the committees
word for It,"
Ordinarily" replied the senator.
there might be reason in asking us
to take the views of a committee. AT
a regular session each senator Is more
or less occupied with his own commit
tee. But at an extra session when no
other matter Is before, the senate, they
have the same time and access to the
same information and consequently
are as we'll qualified to form their
judgments as are members Of the COM
mittee on finance"
do you think the insurgents fight
has been effectual?"
Resistance to the committees BILL"
said the senator, will be found to
have been justified In the concessions

carefully avoided the appearance OF
