revised without hating business. He de-
clared the revenues were not keeping up
with the expenditures and that the time
had come to hunt for more revenues. He
attributed the loss aof revenue to the bust
ness disturbances of 1907 and 1905.
Mr.. Payne declared that the maximum
and minimum feature of the bill was not
a trick. as, he said, had been charged.
Great Britain would come in at the minimum
rates" Is there a man within the sound
OF my voice. he exclaimed, who does not
know that France and Germany, seeking
our trade, will Immediately avail them
selves of the minimum rates which we
offer i'm section 1 OF this act? We give
them the opportunity to put themselves on
an equality with Great Britain" He de-
clared that IL was absolutely certain that
the great nations of the earth would take
advantage OF the opportunity afforded
them.

substitute for section -Four.

At this point Mr.. Payne offered a substi-
tute for section I of the bill. The substi-
tute is intended to dispose OF the criticism
that has been made that the maximum
duties would apply against a province or
colony which discriminates in its tariff in
favor of the mother country. 1t was con-
tended that this would be unfair, as the
bill provides for the free entry of Amer
lean goods and products into the Philip
pine islands. The substitute provides that
the maximum duties imposed by the bill
should not apply to the cases where the
preferential duties to other countries are
those given by a province, dependency or
colony TO a mother country only. The sub
stitute excerpts the Philippine Islands from
its provisions.
Mr.. Rucker OF Missouri asked Mr.. Payne
II II was so that the liquor interests were
strongly represented at Washington during
the preparation OF the bill and exerted
their Influence to prevent an additional
liquor tax.
Mr.. Payne declared that no such lobby
appeared before the committees nor had
any briefs been filed with 1t bearing on the
subject.

The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DIR. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-

cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which so frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create habit.
Why not try them? Get a pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and if
it does not benefit he will return
