Don't forget the young man, for he would appreciate a watch, scarf pin, ring, fountain pen, stud, or pair of cuff links.

of the principal foreign governments, and
had this been done many duties would
have been lowered. The difference, by the
way, between policy of reciprocity. which
is unpopular in the Senate, and one which
favors a maximum tariff, now advocated
by the Senate leaders, is very great. All
the reciprocity treaties which were allowed
to die in the Senate provided for less rates
of duty. A maximum tariff means in
creased rates.
1t is an astounding fact that while in
recent years the people have been moving
with no uncertain step toward downward
revision, the Republican leaders in the two
houses have been fortifying against it, and
the result is shown in the pending bill.
Unless the Democrats in the Senate have
lost their heads, this incongruous situation
is apt to be so thoroughly impressed upon
the public mind that. as a middle West
senator recently expressed it, there won
be enough Republicans in the next House
to demand the yeas and nays"

IN A NUTSHELL.

The Independent, of New York, describes
tariff situation in this succinct way:
Why was the revision of the tariff un.
taken. Was it not in response to a de.
md from the people. who believed that
Dingley rates were too high and should
reducedY II has been admitted by Ger.
n persons who were prominent in the
lstruction of that tariff that it was made
high in order that there might be a
lrgin for reductions to be caused by
aties of reciprocity. After these treaties
been negotiated the Senate would not
cept them. Did the people ask, las,
ar, for revision that would increase
ngley rates or even re-enact themS Did
ey ask for the Payne bill. which, as MIR
yne admitted, would increase the aver
e rate from 44.l6 to 45.72 per cent I
as an increase or a re-enactment of the
esent tariff promised to them by Judge
# and the Republican party9
They have hoped that this tariff legisla-
n would reduce the cost of living. The
lex number obtained by one of our great
numerical agencies from the average
ICES of groups of commodities shows
at the cost of living is higher now by 81
er cent. than it was when the present
riff was enacted. A majority of our peo-
e believe that this cost can be. and ought
be. reduced by revision downward of
e tariff rates. Such revision many of
EN- expected. They will be disappointed"
The Independent puts the matter in a
tshell. There is no doubt Gov Dingley
believed, in agreeing to the high
es in his bill. that the Senate would
ify the reciprocity treaties with several
