improve at once and is now at work
again. This remedy should be
known to every householder.
Farmers of this community have
been very busily engaged with Gen
eral Green the past Week. The recent
rains have given the farmers trouble
with grass, but with one more week OF
favorable weather they will have
their crop in good shape.

and the phraseology greatly changed
in the hope of preventing reductions
through decisions by the courts such
as have characterized the administra-
ton of the Dingley law during latter
years. In many instances the rates
intended to be imposed by the Ding
ley law were cut by the decisions, the
reductions in some instances being
from so per cent. to eight per cent. ad
valorem. 1t is estimated that the
rates fixed by the bill are about three
per cent. higher upon an average than
those collected on cotton last year.
Probably the most marked reduc-
tons throughout any schedule in the
bill as a result of the action of the
two houses and Of the conference COM
mittee are found in the metal SEIZED
ule. Beginning with a decrease in the
rate of iron ore from 40 to Is cents
per ton, there is a general reduction
throughout that portion of the bill,
pig iron going down from 81 to So
per ton, and scrap iron from 81 to 81.
The reduction on many of the items in
this schedule amounts to about so per
cent, and this reduction includes
steel rails. There is an increase on
structural steel ready for use and also
a slight increase on razors, nippers
and pliers, and on such new metals
as tungsten.
Rates on Hosiery Increased.
The rates on hosiery are generally
increased In the much contested mat
ter of the rate on gloves the high pro
tectionists fail to score. They sought,
through an increase made by the
house, to raise the duty materially
above the Dingley figures, but were
antagonized by the senate, and the
senate won, the only change made in
the entire schedule being one slight
reduction.
The silk schedule was reconstructed
with view of imposing specific rath-
er than ad valorem dutiec, with the re-
suit that the average duty will be
somewhat higher under the new law
than under the present statute
Oil cloths and lineoleum are heavi-
ly cut. but otherwise the changes in
the flax, hemp and jute provision
were not material A slightly in
creased duty is provided for
hemp, both crude and hacked, and
also on certain high-grade laces. On
linen yarns and mattings there is
reduction.
Sugar and tobacco duties remain
substantially as they are under the
Ding]ey law The free importation of
considerable quantities of both of
these articles from the Philippine is
lands is permitted, and a material
change was made in the internal reve-
nue. law by an amendment taking the
tax off the sale of tobacco in the hand.
There is a uniform increase on spir-
its, wines and liquors Of Is per cent.
Raise Fate on Hops.
In the agricultural schedule hops
are increased from II to Is cents
pound and there is also an increase
on lemons, figs, almonds and pine
apples.
The publishers win their fight for
lower wood pulp and print paper, the
rate on the ordinary newspaper print
paper being fixed at 1915 per ton in
