man to clean out his cellar. The Irish.
man began his work. He brought

him and said: They are all dead

and the phraseology greatly changed
In the hope of preventing reductions
through decisions by the courts such
~ 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
lValorem. 1t Is estimated that the
rates fixed by the bill are about three
Der cent. higher upon an average than
those collected on cotton last year.
Probably the most marked reduc-
dons throughout any schedule in the
bill as result of the action of the
two houses and of the conference COM
mittee are found in the metal sched-
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 $3.50
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
q slight increase on razors, nippers
land pliers, and on such new metals
las 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
mouse. 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-
or than Rd Valorem dutiec, with The re-

were not material slightly in
creased duty 10 provided for
hemp, both crude and hacked. and
also on certain high-grade Iaces. ON

Deafness Can Not Be Cured

by local applications. as they can not reach the
diseased portion of the car. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by conStitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbing found or imperfect hear
ing and when 1t is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed condition OF
