DEBATING THE TARIFF.

Inc AAOuoC Hdc OcCH piotiPe
enough in taking up the tariff
The Ways and Means Commit
tee of the last Congress prepar-
ed the bill, and the House be-
gan the debate just one week
from the day it assembled, and
it has agreed to meet at IL
o'clock instead of noon while
This subject is up in order to
gain an hour a day and expedite
action. All this shows proper
appreciation of the demand of
the business world to have the
new rates settled as early as
possible.
A tariff debate ought to be a
general education of the public;
it seldom is. We may hope
that a few speakers will discuss
in a broad and thorough way
the incidence of indirect taxes
and the relation of the tariff to
Industries, with special refer
ence to its influence in promot-
ing Trusts and the burdens
taxes upon materials impose
upon manufacturers. No fact
about the tariff is more con
spicuous or more generally
ignored than the handicap it
imposes upon manufacturers by
taxing their materials. What
ever disadvantage the Ameri-
can manufactures is under in
comparison with the foreign
manufacturer is to be found in
the costs of his materials. The
higher wages he has to pay he
offsets by using fewer men for
a given amount of product. OF
the fact that he does this there
is overwhelming evidence. But
he cannot economic in any
like manner on materials. The
more the materials cost him the
more he must get for his pro-
duct, or else he must substitute
cheaper materials, which gen.
orally means commercial
fraud upon the consumers, who
do not get what they suppose
they do
But most of the debate on the
bill will not be educational at
all. The greater part of the
speeches will be made for the
benefit of the members con-
stitutents. The effort will be
made to get more duties on
articles produced in the men,
ber's district. There will be
combinations to aid each other
mutually by log-rolling. The
attention of nineteen members
out of twenty will be firmly
fixed upon some local interest
rather than upon the broad,
national considerations affect

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct THE
civil service commission announces
that but small proportion of applica-
lions thus far filed for the examina-
ton to be held Oct. % for positions in
the census bureau are from residents
of Iowa and other distant states.
AS the census act provides for an
apportionment of the appointments
among states and territories in ac-
cordance with the law of apportion-
ment the commission calls attention
to the fact that present indications
are that states which have few ap-
plicants will probably fail to receive
their full share of appointments unless
more residents apply for examination.
About 5000 appointments will be
made from the October 90 examina-
lions. These will be for terms from
six months to two years and will
average about one year in length. En-
trance salary will be 5000 per annum
and promotion to at least 5000 will
be reasonably rapid for those who
give satisfactory service. Iowa appli-
cants can get forms and further in
formation most quickly by writing the
secretary of the board of the United
States civil service examiners at the
postoff1ce in Chicago or at the old
custom house, St Louis.

BY much questioning the story of

preceding his disappearance had de.

to drive him away from his wife.
There was so much turmoil In his

A STRANGE Case

The case OF Rutt has been a most
remarkable one. He left home July
% and since that time until today not
q flnt of his whereabouts could be
obtained by his friends and relatives.
The efforts to locate him were un-
firing. Money was spent in advertise
r1ent; and hundreds of postal cards
and letters of description were sent
broadcast. Many localities were visit
ed by the searchers, following false
clues, and many supposed Rutts were
examined, only to be found not the
ran. It was due to this system Of
publicity, however. that the missing
man was finally located, one of the
cards bearing his portrait being the
means of his Identification.
