 MT. Pou argued that shoes should be placed on the free list if hides are ad- mitted free of duty. He criticised the wool schedule, declaring that the very necessaries of every day living have been doubled by the imposition of the duties provided therein. He also said that the duties on women's and children's gloves have been increased with the result that every woman and child in America will suffer.
 MT. Pou criticised the republicans for not granting the peanut, mica and long staple cotton interests of the south the increased duties that they requested and claim that the only reason for refusing was the fact that the people in the sec tions of the south where they are pro- duced did not vote the republican ticket
 The reduction in the lumber schedule was also attacked by MT. Pou. who de- clared 1t was another evidence of favor itsm shown in the framing of the bill. He said that every American citizen who must pay the advance in the price of tea which he claimed would result from the duty placed on this beverage, would hold the majority of the House respon- sible.
 Howland's Argument.
 Speaking In favor of the placing of lumber on the free list, MT. IIowland of Ohio declared that the continuance of lumber tariff on the statute books as a protective tariff casts discredit on the entire system of protection. He said that those who favor the tariff on lum- Der oppose it's removal because 1t keeps up prices and makes 1t pay to work up tbe entire tree and not leave the tops and limbs in the forests to rot or burn
 Claiming that Canada was one of the largest purchasers of American lumber and forest products, Mir. Howland said this would lead to the conclusion that if we are able to compete now in the Canadian markets that the need for tar fir no longer existed. He said the talk of cheaper Canadian lumber and cheap CT cost of production in the Canadian mills was the merest buncombe
 'The argument that high prices for forest products tend to conserve the for ests is an attempt on the part of the lumbermen to bring themselves within the scope of the public sentiment for for est conservation" said MT. Rowland.

MACHINE TO DISPERSE FOGS.
Frenchman Uses Hertzian Waves and
Four Huge Blowpipes

NJ. Dibos, French engineer, has
been conducting a series of expert
ments on the English channel which
have given rise\to the hope that New
York harbor may ultimately be kept
free of fog. Attracted by the English
experiments for dissipating fog by
means of electrical discharges, NJ. Di-
hos conceived the idea Of combina-
ton Of HeI:Zian waves.
Beneath powerful Hertzian plant
which emit: waves Of 10000 volts he
placed four huge blowpipes directed to
the four points of the compass. Stimuli
taneously with the discharge Of the
Hertzan waves the blowpipes, each

thirty minutes a thick fog was dis

couraged by this success, the expert

NEW ASTRAL LAW.

Boston House Painter Thinks 1t Will
Revoiutionize Chronological System.
Robert J. Hodge, a house painter of
Franklin Park, Boston, has invented
an astral calculator based on what he
claims as his discovery of a new astral
law, which he believes will revolution
ize the worlds chronological system
According to his theories, the season
changes are not caused by the earth's
revolution around the sun, but rather
by yearly revolution Of the sun in an
orbit apart from the earth and by a
balance motion of the earth on its
equatorial axis. ...
Hodge has travelled across the Unit
ed States, taking observations to veri-
fy his theory. Under this a calendar
year would consist Of exactly 1854 days
with each fourth month, beginning
with March. consisting of exactly thir-
ty-one days, the other eight months Of
thirty days. He has worked out a new
astral calculator to take his observa-

ample. The popularity Of the reciproc-
ity idea embodied in the proposed law
is this-that, whereas other nations Of
fer minimum tariff as an inducement
to reciprocity arrangements, we threat
en- a maximum tariff as a retaliation
1t is the difference between peace and
war. Another popularity is that no
discretion is left in the hands of the
president. The maximum rates go au-
Dramatically into effect against those
nations that do not favor us. A third
popularity is that partial reciprocity,
or reciprocity on few articles, is pre-
eluded. Foreign nations must give US
the benefit on all items if they would
avoid the club of our maximum tariff.
Now, it is not hard to see what the
practical effect. of all this will be. As
the bill repeats present reciprocity pro-
visions, tariff war with nearly all the
nations of continental Europe will prob
ably ensue, and during that war; the
maximum tariff, which on many sched-
uIes is actually higher than the DingIey
act, will be in effect.
A second modification Of tho appar-
ent reductions in the Payne bill will
arise from the provision that in certain
cases the basis Of value on articles
taxed by the ad valorem method shall
DO the wholesale price Of that article
in the United States. Now, in nearly
all cases the American price is much,
higher than the foreign price, which is
tho basis Of value now employed. The
effect Of this rise in valuation will be
to nulHfy cuts in schedules, just as a
higher assessment on real or personal
property may be made to nuIIify re-
duction in rates Of taxation. All tax
payers are familiar with this principle.
The main reason for the revision of
tho tariff a: this time, aside from the
pressure Of public opinion, is that the
present law does not produce sufficient
revenue. Under tho new act it is esti-
mated there will be an increase of near
'y $50,000,000 annually in receipts. Part
Of this will come from the proposed tax
on inheritarces, but most Of it from,
the customs. If the hopes Of the meas.
ure as revenue producer are disap-
pointed, there is a provision for the
issuance Of treasury certificates to re-
|ieve the strain. 1t is also provided to
create $40,000,000 worth Of Panama
bonds to cover the purchase price Of
the canal.

is that which provides drawback of
taxes paid on raw materials, which raw
materials enter into the manufacture
OF articles for export. This will assist
our home manufacturers to compete in
foreign markets.
In detail the changes in schedules
are roughly as follows: There are slight
increases in certain so called Iuxures,
including perfumery, toilet articles,
fancy soaps, chicory and substitutes
for coffee, cocoa and cocoa butter,
spices, feathers, furs, and the like. In
ereases are also made on coal tar dyes,
zinc, peas, figs, lemons, pineapples,
mercerized cotton, surface coated pa
pers, Autographs and envelopes. Wood
pulp is made free when imported from
countries that have no export duty
Cheaper grades Of print paper are ma
terially reduced. A large number of
drugs and chemicals are cut, while
copperas, Icorice, cottonseed oil and
some other articles in kind are placed
on the free list.
building materials of almost all varie-
ties, including lumber. Perhaps the
most sweeping cut is on iron, steel and
other metal products, which amounts
in most cases to so per cent. This is
ono reduction that cannot be greatly
affected by the reciprocity clause.
Sugar is reduced four one hundredths
OF cent per pound. Agricultural and
food products are cut, some of them
materially. Wool is left practically un-
affected, except carpet wool and top
waste, which are slightly reduced.
Soft or bituminous coal is admitted
free from all countries admitting
American coal free. Hides are placed
on the free list, which is greater
proportionate reduction than that on
shoes and other leather products.
Works Of art over twenty years old are
free.
This is tho bill-the lamb led UP to
the slaughter. What the senate butch
ers will do to it no man can tell, A.
ready the sounds Of battle are heard.
There is a sharpening of knives, the
cattlemen of the west are preparing to
shoot the free hides section full Of
holes, and the eastern maiefactors Of
great wealth are trimming a big stick
with which to biff the tax on inherit
ances. There is likewise a roar from
the iron and steel men, but the Scotch
burr of Andrew Carnegie is not heard
in the chorus.

Pearce by fiinging it over the platter.
Bunny got nervous as he saw this new
