Lower Tariff--More Revenue.

Aside from the income and corpora
ton tax amendments, the striking fea-
ture of the first tariff discussion in
the senate was the objection by SEN
ator Aldrich that reduction of import
duties would increase revenue until
the treasury overlooked with more
money than is needed.
Senator Aldrich's attitude is a vir-
tual admission that the tariff is al
ready prohibitive. His intention Of
keeping it %prohibitive extends even
to cutting down our national extrava-
gance, in order that a smaller annual
expenditure may prevent lowering Of
import duties to increase the volume
OF imports and the revenue.

rode handcuffed together.
Little is known of her ~antecedents
but Embrey was a wealthy planter
and Scott is we'll connected. Embrey
was shot four times, all Of the bullets
entering from the back, This fact

Every business man in this city anc
county carries insurance in some form, anc
when he pays his premium he does mol
argue that he bears the losses of othel
persons who carry insurance. He rec.
ognizes that he pays for his own protec.
tion-nothing more. The guaranty Of
bank deposits involves the same principle
he bank that guarantees its depositors
against loss simply pays what it costs to
make such guaranty or insurance. Oh
course, in the event Of loss, an insurance
company uses premium money paid by
policy holders, other than the one sustain
ing the loss, to pay the claim and poor
reasoner might strain a point and say thai
the man who escaped loss helped to
pay the man who was less fortunate, and
reasoning on this basis, the anti-guaranty
politicians say that one bank is compelled
to stand another banks losses, but when
you get down to the sane, intelljsen,
and business way Of looking at insurance
in any form, that kind Of logic is as light

evening last week and the manner in
which he snapped and growled at the
insurgents was next to sensational. Uncle
Joe said that he longed for the power to

and would exercise it, the population of
