Weak Ewes.

If your eyes are weak and are cas-
ily tired when reading and sewing. it
probably means that your generel

with exercise in the open air. are
important. When You must work rest
your eyes occasionally for few min
nutes at a time and always work in
good light-in daylight If possible.

The Tariff as a Local Question.

mas repeatedly been shown since 1880
and is now being shown. It is local IN
Louisiana. where sugar is produced.
to South Carolina, where rice and sea
island cotton are produced; TO Ala
bama and Tennessee, where coal and
iron ore are mined: to the west
where hides are a factor; to Texas.
where wool is a factor: to New Eng.
land, where finished products of many
kinds are In evidence. Turn where
you may, and. 10. the tariff confronts
you. The tariff is like Charley's friend
You can't lose it,
But out of the local question grows
the national question. as the national
government grew out of the union of
the state governments. The states
compromised i'm order to establish a
needed national strength and au-
'hority. No one OF them got all It de-
sired under the compact, but all were
benefited. Just so with the tariff ad-
justed TO national needs. No state
gets all It asks for in the shaping of
the schedules. but all get something
and all are benefited. The local oues.
ton and the national question are
harmCnized, and we have a tariff cal
culated at once TO raise revenue and
protect American LABOR against low
wages and deserving American indus

inconceivable abyss of $4,000 600
