Cresco on Friday to witness the
finish of the Peterson-Pecoy wrestl-
ing match, these parties having
wrestled a week previous for two
hours and forty-fiye minutes for the
first fall and postponing the match
after thirty minutes more wrestling.
A big crowd saw the match on Fri
day night, and Peterson won in two

hard to get them. PEGGY was on the
defensive all the time, Peterson
winning the first fall in one hour and
twenty minutes, and the second in

NEW YEAR GREETING.
A Happy New Year.

A Happy NeW xoal'
 That is the hearty wish extended by the Silver Belt this morning to it's big family of more than 5000 subscribers.
 A Happy New Year!
 May not cloud flaw the matchless canopy of blue that 1t is our wish will spread over you; and may brighter suns dispense serener light and milder moons emparadise the night.
 To the people of the great Globe dis trict a more promising year than 1903 has never stretched out before you Promise and prosperity are on every hand. The presence of not one de- terring influence is felt. Our great mines of treasure are yielding up more liberslly than ever before in the his tory of the district; new discoveries have been made, and there is plenty of money at hand to develop the most promising of these prospects.
 Tho eyes of the world are turned to- ward the great Globe district and the significance of this fact should bring comfort to those who are seeking that happiness that comes in the possession of worldly goods. Wonderful are the opportunities awaiting the thrifty.
 Let us turn back the pages of time only to review our achievements. A wretched picture is not inspiring. Ii brings Encouragement; 1t influences more failures. If we have made mis takes in the past, let us profit by ther and turn the leaf over forever. If SO briety, high morals and clean living have afforded US comfort in the past; arc affording us happiness today, let u' intensity these characteristics; let u' magnify them, that the radiance o right doing will shed its lustre over oul neighbors, and bring to us that ap proach to perfect happiness which knowledge of right doing can alone bring, happily combined with the love confidence and respect of our fellow men.
 Don't pave your pathway today witl resolutions to be broken tomorrow, bu silently, quietly correct the defects, an' over the rough road of righteousness blaze trail to the next milepost tha will, in tho power of its brilliancy, lea you on not only to a returning happ, new year, but, to-

1t true, as Mr. Carnegie told the com mittee that tho day of the small manu- facturer is past7 However this may be, the tariff hearings have developed a most interesting phase of his troubles. It has been assumed that tariff reduc- ticn might give him chance by cripp lirg his big competitors, or reducing the imense advantage the trust derives from high protection, but this assnmp- tion needs revision. Representatives of the trust are coming into court to avow that they can get along very well without protective duties, but that the little fellows would not fare so well
 What are the tariff revisers to do in the face of this situation? Thier first impulse is to assume an attitude ot skepticism as to the motives of those manufacturers who tell the committed that they can survive without protec tive duties. An automobile manufac turcr who asked that the tariff on motoI cars be reduced about one-half wa heckled for long time as to his req sons for such an extraordinary reques and when he said he thought it woul' contribute to better feeling al laroun' to have lower tariff the committe had to give up in despair. It is such
 novel experience to hear requests fror tariff benifciaIies for lower duties tha the standpatters may be excused fo harboring suspicious. These unusua developments only go to show, however that the state of tariff opinion in tn
 country today is very different frol
 what 1t was decade ago. Tariff refori
 has made headway in the most une'
 pected quarters.

QUEER TARIFF DEVELOPMENTS


 The other day the president of the harvester trust appeared before the Ways and Means Committee to say that SO far as he was concerned, all the du- ties on agricultural implements could be removed. Producing half the sup ply of the total of agricultural imple- ments made in this country, and having large export trade in competition with foreign producers, the Information al Harvester company has no need of protection. It can manufacture cheap CT than any of it's competitors, foreign or domestic, and it's sole interest in the Aemrican tariff is that 1t may bs used to secure reciprocal tariff advantages from foreign countries. President Met calf, of the harvester company, suggest ed that a duty of twenty per cent be imposed on imports of agricultural i'm plements from any country which did not give the United States the benefit of its lowest tariff.
 As usual, some members of tho com mittee were solicitous on behalf of the smaller manufacturer. MT. Crumpack CT asserted that the competitors of the trust could not share the export trade ir agricultural implements with the trust inasmuch as their smaller business dit not justify their making use of thu drawback provisions of the tariff.
