Or. Aussburs's Department of Draw


Or. v. R. Augsburg, instructor in

OPENS TARIFF DEBATE,
Senator AId"ich Declares New Meas

Senator AId:ich Declares New Meas.
ure Will Produce Revenue.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 19.-In
opening the debate on the pending
tariff bill today Senator Aldrich,
chairman of the committee on finance
assured the senate In most positive
terms that the bill reported from the
finance committee would produce
ample revenue for the government.
He suggested that, If by any possibil-
n.y. these estimates should prove to be
incorrect the duty of congress would
be ITO reduce expenditures and make
them conform to actual revenue con.
ditions and not to impose new and
onerous taxes"
While he did not refer specifically
to any proposition to impose an in.
come tax, his statement declaring that
ample revenue may be derived from
other sources, was accepted as direct
opposition to all such propositions.
On the desk Of each senator was q
comparison of the text of the Dingley
tariff law with the Payne tariff bill as
passed by the house, and as amended
and reported from the senate COM
mittee on finance. In addition q
statement was furnished to each
senator showing the estimated re-
venues under the present law COM
pared with amended Payne bill.
Mr.. Aldrich called attention to these
volumes In beginning his speech. The
net increase from customs over the ex.
listing law was estimated at Oil, 666, 74S
for the Payne bill, as passed by the
house; and 90, 1884, 426 under the bill as
reported from the senate commit.
tee. In making the estimates the re-
venues produced in 1905 were used in
attaining the comparisons with the
house bill, and the revenues for 1907,
when the imports were much larger
In arriving at the comparison with
the possibilities under the senate bill.
Mr.. Aldrich believes that 1907 was q
normal year, while Representative
Payne. chairman OF the house COM
mittee on ways and means, believes
1906 was the year when conditions
were normal.
In commenting on the tariff bill,
Mr.. Aldrich said it was not his pur-
pose TO discuss the wisdom or I'M
wisdom of the protective tariff policy.
He added that there would be no at
to restrict debate on the DEM
eide upon the question.

Germany Fears New Tariff.

BERLIN, April 19.-The belief that
the provisions of the new tariff bill
practically will exclude their wares
from the American market is causing
German exporters engaged in certain
lines OF manufacture to redouble their
efforts to store q large supply of their
products with their American agents
at the earliest date.
The manufacturers in Solingen,
Germsny's great cutlery center, are
running their establishments overtime
with q view to having the largest pos.
sible supply Of goods ready for del.
livery in New York before July l, when
the law takes effect. Similar mes.
sures are being taken by firms en-.
gagged in the manufacture of toys,

This Recreation Mas at One Time
Unlawful In Maine.
Something Of the exact behavior de-
handed from young people by those In
authority in the early days of the nine
teenth century is brought to notice in
the biography Of Peter Edes, a pioneer
printer in Maine. Mr.. Edes had an
appentrice, James Orrock, who enjoyed
q walk on Sunday after a week of in
door employment.
Mr.. Edes loon found out that this
was not permitted at Bangor and wrote
to a friend Of the trouble caused him
by his apprentices apparently inno-
cent amusement.
"You must know" he writes, "that
the people are very strict on this day
md will not let men walk out, much
less boys. James was strolling about
and was ordered home by the tything
men, but he would not obey them. A
complaint was lodged against me on
the next day, and I should have been
obliged to pay a fine had not Judge
Dutton pleaded In my behalf that I

Another interesting incident in con
nection with life in Bangor at this
time is an advertisement which ap-
peared in Mr.. Edes' paper. the Bangor
Weekly Register, stating that "E. &
NJ. R. Edes have opened a school in
the DON over the Register Office for
the instruction Of young misses and
small children In the useful and orna-
mental branches Of education"
The terms were: "Orthography and
plain work, II cents per week; writing,
English grammar, geography with the
use Of maps, composition. ornamental
needlework, Is cents per week" This
was probably n Of the first schools in
Maine for teaching young ladies ex-
clusively in the branches Of education
and also including plain work and fan
cy needlework.

line has passed from the mythical

The new idea of dry farming has
found trenchant Judgment among the
enthusiastic devotees of this novel
method of tilling what we're heretofore
supposed to be vast non-producing
areas. At the Dry Farming congress,
to be held at Billings this fall, this
new departure will be exploited and
the seeds of investig alton and demon.
stration of the new idea will be scat.
tered broadcast with munifcent profit
to the state.
Montana's assured enterprises and
future possibilities would fill columns,
and without any question there is am.
pie cause for congratulation in the
glowing prospects which confront the
various sections of the state. The
