between she schoolmarm and Lester

could not agree on what kind OF a
whipping young Webb was TO take,

began. The teacher before she would
leave the battlefield sacrificed a
bunch OF her best alfalfa, which young
Webb proceeded to take. The d.

their wagons, presumably TO hauI

promise OF the boy to be good and

good school and the directors should
see that she is not imposed on.

which was recognized substantially by
the house bill, but was changed to ac-
tual revision upward by the senate bill.
1t was at this point that the president
quietly but firmly injected himself
into the fight in the conference be-
tween the two houses, the house stand
ing behind him and forcing the senate
to yield The Payne bill in its present
form is the result.
Tariff an Historic Issue.
The first tariff bill enacted in the
United States was that of the First
congress. The opening section of that
bill stated that, in addition to securing
money for the support of the govern
ment, the tariff was adopted for 1.-THE
encouragement and protection of man
ufactures."'
In 1926 the tariff was jumped up O
few pegs, and a year later it went
higher, from 81 to Al per cent.
When, in 1882. bill establishing a
protective tariff policy was passed,
South Carolina refused to recognize
tho validity of the increased duties
end threatened to secede, President
Jackson had to dispatch warship to
-outh Carolinian waters.
A horizontal reduction of the tariff
took place in 1898. Twelve years later,
under Folks administration, bill
drafted by Robert j. Walker, secretary
of the treasury, was adopted, standing
mildly for the protective policy. This
bill lasted until 1857, when a reduc-
ton to 2ol@ per cent occurred on the
average duties. Actually free trade
system, this low tariff proved adequate
for all government needs until the out
break of the civil war, when an in.
creased income was necessitated.
The Morrill, act of 1861 increased
duties about one-third, and the tax
was extended to include tea, coffee and
sugar. Internal revenue was collected,
beginning in 1862, and two years later
the duties were raised so per cent for
q period Of ninety days.

After succession of tariff measures

form Of legislative activity occurred
But in 1870 and 1872 reductions were
made down the list, some of which
We're restored in 1874, making the av-

occasionally visited an uncle there. an

even for small loan. One morning
the uncle welcomed the student far
more warmly than was his habit.

Democratic chairman of ways and
means, prepared his well known hor-
izontal reduction of 20 per cent on all
taxed products, which was defeated.
During Cleveland's first administra-
ton the Mills bill was a powerful is
sue, and in 1883 the tariff fight re-
suited in the election of Benjamin
Harrison to the presidency. He stood
for Il high protective tariff AS re-
suit the Mckinley bill was enacted,
putting the duties over the marks
reached during the civil war.
But the revulsion which followed re-
suited in the reelection of Cleveland
in 1882, with Democratic congress.
Then resulted the Wilson bill, provid-
ing for wholesale reductions, particu-
larly as regarding iron and steel man
ufactures. 1t should be noted that the
Dingley bill in 1897 retained practi-
cally the iron and steel duties laid
down in the Wilson measure.
Though William Mckinley was elect
ed on the financial issue in 1896 his
first act after being sworn in as presi-
dent was the calling of an extra ses-
sion of congress to repeal the Wilson,
German tariff bill. The result of that
session was the Dingley law, named
for its author, Nelson Dingley, Jr., Of
Maine, which put the schedules prac.
tically back on the Mckinley basis.
Following is a comparison between
the old Dingley tariff rates and those
OF the new Payne bill:

FREE LIST.

Free list-Petroleum, crude and re.
fined, was continued on the free list,
though considerable opposition to this
procedure developed.
Hides we're put on the list after pro.
longed and bitter controversies. Sena-
tor Aldrich and various of the older
members of the upper house led the
campaign against free hides. The
Dingley bill placed duty of IL per
cent ad valorem on hides.
The new free list, while very SINH
lar to that of the Dingley bill, con-
tains the following articles that,
among others, were not on the Ding
ley list:
Hides, fenceposts, sulphate OF am.
monia, platinum combinations with pal
ladium, osmium and rhodium, kindling
wood, radium, works of art, paintings,
pastels, etchings and sculptures that
have been in existence more than
twenty years prior to date of impor-
tation, other works of art, of bronze,
marble, terra-cotta, pottery, porcelain
and antiques produces. more than 100

Every Price Should Have a Reason.
1t must be remembered always that
1t is not the price of an article which
is important, but the reason for the
price.
The bankrupt stock. the fire sale, the
manufacturers remnants. the annual
clearance, the removal sale. the disso.

these and many more but arguments
for the price? And note this one point
that without the argument the price
