II is an interesting fact that the two
greatest dehcit-prOducing tariff laws the
United States has ever had followed one
upon the heels of the other. Men will
ever differ as to the direct cause Of the
failure Of both measures to produce the
necessary revenue. but the remote cause
was a miscalculatiOn in the framing OF
both. The Mckinley bill put sugar on
the free list and gave a bounty 10
domestic sugar. The two items resulted
in a loss TO the right side Of the Treas
ury balance OF over $50. .oO0, 900 a year. The
Wilson law set up an income tax pro-
vision which was turned down by the
Supreme Court, and that resulted in a
deficit under the operation Of the Wilson
tsriff. II is stated by Stanwood, most
impartial and thorough OF all the tariff
historians, but who confesses 10 protec-
ton leanings, that the Wilson tariff
would have produced a surplus after the
first year but for the overturning Of the
income tax by the highest court.
He likewise assumes that the cause Of
the vast proportion OF the deficit under
inley law was due 10 the falling
lports after the election OF Mr..
], in anticipation Of the low rates
ad under the forthcoming tariff
but he adds that even then
uld have been no deficit had

On December 19 the bill was reported

did reduce the duties on most things and
provided for free raw materials Even
this was regarded as a sort OF halfway
measure by the out-and-out low tariff peo-
pie. After the usual Christmas recess the
House got down 10 the consideration OF
the b.n in dead earnest. A rule was
brought in limiting the debate and pro-
vidfng the machinery for the considera-
hon OF the bill The Republicans fought
this tooth and nail. and resorted to the
tent Of breaking a quorum by re-
Z TO vote. II will be remembered
IN the Congress which passed the

The low tariff press Of the country grew

Ine oounSry might well have prepared
itself for the sort OF tariff law that Mr..
Cleveland would not honor with his
signature from the course which events
took AT the Democratic national cOnven-
ton Of 1892 The conservative wing ot
the party dominated the committee on
resolutions, which brought in as mild
demand for tariff revision as one could
wish to see. But the convention would
have none OF Il. BY a vote OF 554 90 342
il turned down the proposed plank and
went after protection and the Mckinley
law hammer and tongs. II was the most
radical tariff declaration ever made by
any responsible party.
The events Of the year following the
election OF Mr.. Cleveland constitute the
most remarkable series Of transactions in
the history Of American tariff legislation.
Possessed Of a large majority In the
House and a comfortable margin in the
Senate the Democrats were forced 10
make such a remarkable series of conces-
sions to members OF their own party that
the Wilson tariff law emerged from the
legislative mill loaded down with pro-
lection.
There is a story Of a dealer In herring
who was asked whether he was for pro-
lection or free trade He came out un-
qualifiedly for free trade on everything
but herring. There were enough men OF
this stamp among the Democrats of the
Fifty-thfrd Congress to prevent the
passage Of any consistent low tariff meas
ure. Even as the bill was reported TO
the House by Mr.. Wilson, II was not
entirely satisfactory 70 him. He said he

bravely in the parade were found in line

that friends OF reform had fallen away

that was continued in the Senate. The

Condition Is That Politicians
Do Not Interfere.

DOUBLE TRACK ERA.
ALI Roads Are Considering Great
Improvements.
Only Attitude of Political Forces
Can Stop Movement.

James McCrea, president of the
Pennsylvania railroad company, was
interviewed at Pittsburg, a few days
since, and in the course of his re-
marks said.
THE present rapid return to pros
perity will continue and prosperity
will be lasting, if legislators and poll
ticians do not interfere, this is the
proper time for a pause. The law
makers should wait while and see
the effect of the laws already in force
before proceeding further"
Further, in referring particularly
to the railway situation, Mr.. McCrea
said:
I'm the railroad business this is the
double-track era. All roads with sim
gle tracks are considering great i'm
provements. To carry these out mon
ey is needed and stock must be sold.
If politicians insist on stirring up un-
rest and destroying confidence, in
vestors are going to be frightened
away and progress will be blocked.
New laws, without first noting the
effect of those preceding them, may
work more harm than good. Corpor-
ations are now adjusting themselves
to the new conditions, and after a
while the lawmakers can discern bet
ter what is needed. But while the new
legislation from which corporations
are just recovering is practically un-
tried there should be a halt for some
time. To rush ahead with new legis-
lation will surely mean a blow at the
confidence of investors
Mr.. McCrea could not say in so
many words what would be the re-
suit from more drastic legislation
against railroads and CORPORATIONS
but he made it plain by inference that
if politicians crowded business inter
ests without regard for conditions and
blindly rushed into new LEGISLATION
there would be bad result.

The Cause of Colds
Good Advice Regarding the
Prevention of Coughs
and Colds

If people would only fortify and
strengthen the system, the majority of
cases of coughs. colds and pneumonia
might he avoided. These troubles are
frequently due to weakness, which pro-
drces a catarrhal condition of the muc-
GUS membrane. which is an internal skin
o: the body. When this skin Is weak
Iened 1t becomes easily infected with
germs which cause many of the diseases
to which flesh is heir. Healthy mucous
membranes are essential safeguards Of
the body's general health.
An excellent aid in the prevention of
coughs. colds, pneumonia, and such like
infectious diseases, is remedy that
will prevent Or cure catarrh.
We have remedy which we honestly
believe to be unsurpassed in excellence
for the prevention of coughs, colds and
all catarrhal conditions It is the pre-
scription of famous physician, who
has an enviable reputation of thirty
years of cures gained through the use
of this formula. We promise to make
10 charge for the medicine should it
fail to do as we claim. We urge every
body who has need of such a medicine
to try Rexall Mucu- Tone.
1t stands to reason that we could not
afford to make such statements and
give our own personal guarantee to this
remedy If we were not prepared to prove
the reasonableness of our claim in every
particular, and we see no reason why
any one should hesitate to accept our
offer and try it. We have two sizes of
Rexau Mucu-Tone, prices so cents and
81 90. Sometimes 50-cent bottle is Suf-
ficient to give marked relief. AS a gem
eral thing the most chronic case is re-
leved with an average of three large

and his athletic career has been
fraught with such injuries as broken
ribs, charley-horses, and a stiffened
knee, all lending their woes to put him

ever, came from summer baseball and
consisted OF an injured elbow which
was operated on at Christ's hospital
efter his return to college in Septem-
Der. In the Denver game, the almost
healed wound was broken again. The
two weeks rest, however, since that
