Thomas Deford, a member OF the firm
Of DefOrd & Co. tanners of sole leather,
was emphatic in his denunciation of the
proposed increase in tariff on hides.
Though the bill IS on its last read

there is no question that it will be-
come a law, which will mean a decided
increase IN leather goods.
THE Chicago market, which practi-
cally controls the market in this coun-
try, is fighting the increase, but It Will
be Of no avail. Hides are now selling
from 1850 to Il, which is higher than
IN many years and with the increase OF
tariff the prices will soar

see nothing but disaster to the trade
and a tremendous Increase in cost TO
the consumer In the Aldrich tariff bill
as It now stands and all are a unit in
denounclng It, so far as the duty on
green fruits and vegetables is concerned,
as crime against the American public.
While the section Of the bin relating 10
green fruits and vegetables is regarded
as bad, special attention is drawn to the
clauses relating to pineapples and leT-
ous. The radical increase in the duty on
the former fruit, it is claimed, viii not

A Eisenberg, Of the Eisenberg Under

to an increase in the tariff when It
does not serve the purpose OF protec-
ton. He believes an increase in the
rate on articles such as gloves and laces
will put an Unnecessary hardship on
the consumer But a higher tariff on
toilet articles and cheap jewerly. he
thinks will not affect the masses.
Two opposing Interests are involved
in the tariff question" said Mr.. Essen
berg, the importer and the manufactur-
er. The importer IS generally against
any increase IN the tariff, but the manu-
facturer, as a rule, looks upon it with
favcr. As for myself, firmly believe
in protection. The manufacture Of many
articles. such as silks, ribbons, and car
pets, which were almost exclusively i'm

Weather Ideal

The weather for several days was
very rainy, and the farmers were de-
layed a little in their work. The
ground in some places was even too
wet for breaking, the dirt sticking to
the mole board. Steam plows have
not been able to do much this spring.
The weather has cleared up, and the
farmers are fast winding up their
seeding. The crops are coming the
best ever. Look for a great crop this
year, if nothing happens.
