TARIFF PROBLEM
is DIFFICULT ONE
MANUFACTURERS AND IMPORTERS
OFFER MANY SUGGESTIONS TO
HOUSE COMMITTEE.
NOVEL. IDEA Is PROPOSED.
One Would Have All Patented Articles
for Consumption at Home Made
in This Country.
MAY PLACE HIDES ON FREE LIST.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 29.-The
House ways and means committee, which
| is charged with the duty of framing a
! revised tariff bill, has received numer-
Gus suggestions from manufacturers, i'm
porters, and others who are interested
in the tariff.
Requests for changes from ad valorem
duties to specific rates and vice versa
are most numerous. These are made for
| the most part under the claim that the
tariff would be slmpiifed and the work
of the customs authorities would not be
as difficult as at present. In many in
stances it is claimed that the suggested
changes would make it difficult for I'M
scrupulous importers to under-value their
importatiOns.
New Idea Suggested.
A suggestion made by one of the wit
tee was to the effect that a way out of
the tariff difficulty could be found by
copying the law recently enacted in
Great Britain which makes it necessary
for all patented articles for consumption
there to be manufactured in that coun-
try. Representative Boutell OF Illinois,
is interested in this suggestion and other
members Of the committee may look into
the merits of the idea.
Free coal'' and 'free hides are
among the changes for which there has
been the greatest demand. There
promises, in fact, to be lively discus
sion between the members of the sub
committee that is working on the new
bill. when the coal and hides schedules
are reached. A West Virginia coal COM
pany Las entered strong protest against
the free entry of coal unless similar
concession is obtained from Canada,
claiming that our northern neighbor de-
rives five times as much revenue from
it's importations of American bituminous
coal as that received by this country
from it's importations of Canadian coal,
although it is claimed there were five
times as much American coal sold IN
Canada as there was Canadian coal sold
in this country during 1907.
Hides on Free List.
There has been a persistent rumor
around the committee room to the effect
that the new bill will put hides on the
free list and provide for substantial
reduction in the duties on shoe leather
products. Several manufacturers have
testified that they could stand a slight
reduction in the tariff on their products
r. H. Long, a shoe manufacturer of
South birmingham, Mass, has written
to the committee admitting that duty
of 20 per cent. would serve to protect
the American industry on condition that
hides are put on the free list. He pro-
tested, however, against the placing of
shoes on the free list, claiming that it
would be necessarw for the American
manufa cturer to establish factories
abroad in order to get the advantage of
the cheaper cost of labor.

United States. An agency is to be
formed in India. with several branches
and a head office at Bombay, to collect
pearls and to dispatch them to the Lon
don market at a fixed price, but sub
ject to offers. Against these parcels
small advance will be given in Bonn

In The Spanish-American War.

During the Spanish American
War many of our soldiers suffer-
ed severely from cramp in the
stomach and bowels, due in most
cases to the change of climate
and the water they were obliged
to drink.
Mr.. Geo. A. Lake, of Dennison,
Texas, gives an interesting ac-
count of how he came to the re-
lief of some of the men in his
regiment:-"Jnst as | was start
ing for the war;" says Mr.. Lake,
'.Mr. Davis gave me alarge bottle
of Sloan's Liniment. l used il
in our troop at Camp Mobrey fol-
cramps and dysentery among the
men. 1t took finely and lots oil
the boys Of Troop L, LIST Tex
Cav. u. S. v, will never forge
the name of Sloan's Liniment
One case in particular was ou
bugler, Fred Ormsley; he wa
cramped until he could hardl,
stand it. l gave him a dose o
Sloan's Liniment and in fiv
minutes he was up and ready t
go on with the troop.
Every druggist carries Sloan
Liniment in stock, You can &c
