Congressman Hanna made an adj
dress in the house Of representatives
in which he urged the retention Of
the present duty on barley, which
the Payne tariff bill proposed to cut
in half. Mr.. Hanna spoke In the in
terests Of the barley growers Of
North Dakota as we'll as the farmers
of the whole country. As near as
can be learned the proposed Treduc-
ton on barley comes from the malt
ing interests, represented by a few
manufacturers at Buffalo, New York,
whose entire production, says tle
Minneapolis Market Record, Is less
than 20 per CO. Of the malt produc-
ed in the United States. The bulk
OF the product is produced In the
west at Chicago, Milwaukee and Min
neapo1is. and the reduction by the

eastern masters was planned to Sc
cure an advantage over western
compentitors. The consumer of
malt, the brewer and the distil1er
are not clamoring for a reduction on
barley duty. Barley is a special pro-
duct of the farmer, and it has been
a profitable crop the last two or three
years, but If the gates are open for
Canadian barley, with the vast ex-
panse of new territory being sowed
to that product in the northwest ter
ritories, the price of the American
product, it is believed, would be so
low as to make its growing unprofit-
able in the northwest, and with q
view of supporting the majority Of
interests involved in the industry,
it is plainly the duty Of congress- to
retain the present duty on barley.
The jamestown Alert takes this
view and other state grain interests
will agree.

DRAWBACK ON GRAIN DUTIES.

DRAWBACK ON GRAIN DUTIES.
The question of the allowance Of
4 drawback" or refund of duty on
Grain which comes into this country
Tor manufacture and. is Immediately
exported again, comes before con-
Eress and is being opposed by num-
Der Of northwestern representatives
On the ground that the allowance OF
4 drawback would bring, the grain
imported into direct competition
With grain raised by farmers of this
eoantry. Tie idea of the drawback
dirty is to permit the importation of
.aw materials for manufacture and
export practically fsee of duty, be-
01se in the manufacture Of the raw
materials into finished product la
1or is furnished to American work.
inEmen. Senator McCumber is OPP
posing the drawback on the ground
that grain is practically the finished
product Of the farm, and that to per-
NIT drawback is practically to per-
nit grain to come in duty free. Sen
ator McCumber says in recent
1tatement: Y H..
Under the drawback system, the
miller could import wheat, pay the
duty of Is cents per bushel, grind It..
and when it is ready for export he
would receive a drawback rebate of
- per cent on the duty paid, the gov
eminent retaining the per cent to
cover the expenses Of recording, the
transaction The same is true Of all
ether grains.
BY this process Of granting rebates
foreign grain can be brought. to the
United States, manufactured and i'm
mediately when exported, would
come into competition with q like
product made entirely from Amer
lean grain. The proposition is lit:
he different with the farm products
from what it is&wita iron OF parts OF
machinery which may be imported
for the reason that grain is the fin
fshed product of the farm, whereas
the iron ore Is wholly unfinished pro-
duct, and parts of machinery brought
n are in sense unfinished products
For instance, the Canadian govern
ment might require q peculiar kind
Of coupling for: railway trains in that
country. These couplers, being COW
cred by patents, could only be man
ufactured at some place in Canada
The American car builder might gel
the contarct for making cars TO,
Canadian roads. He would have tt
equip them with these copulers. Thu
eopu1ers could be imported and wher
the car was finished the duty paid OF
the couplers could be rebated. I'm
der such circumstances 1t could nc
be claimed that American workme1
were injured, for the reason that i
NO drawback were allowed the Amer
ie2n car builder could not take thu
contract for the cars and the Amer
7ean workmen would not have thu
opportunity of building the cars.
Under section 20 of the proposed
bill, providing for the allowance o.
drawbacks or rebates, the material:
used in building ships for foreign
countries are especially mentioned
and the drawback in such instances
would undoubtedly be beneficial tt
ene workmen of the United States
rs It would be in the car builder, fol
the reason that the finished product
! Sf no class of American labor would
necessarily come into competition
nth that of the foreign country.

staring them in the face, three men
were yesterday afternoon jerked from
an automobile as IL was being demol-
ished in a collision with q trolley car.
and for seconds were suspended in the
air, their grasp to the railing OF the
car alone preventing them from be-
ing thrown In front Of the wheels.
Julian Rice. Tilford Leak and Julius
Sternfe1d were on their way to the
ball game yesterday afternoon in Mr..
Rice's machine. Ascending the steep
Incline. where the roadway crosses
the Traction Company tracks, at the
ball park, the machine was making
exceedingly SLOW progress in getting
over the tracks, when 1t was struck
by car 3s of the Montgomery Traction
Company. The car was smashed into
kindiing wood, and but for the pres
ence Of mind of Mr.. Sternfeld. the oc-
cupants would most likely have sus-
tained serious injury.
When Mr.. Sternfeld saw that the ,ac-
cident was Inevitable, he stood up In
the machine and caught hold OF the
front railing Of the glass front OF the
car and assisted Tiiford Leak to get a
similar hold. Mr.. Rice was also for
tunate to grasp hold Of the railing and
as the three men chung to the front
OF tuc car, inc machine IN WHICH tnoy
were riding was ground to pieces.
The motorman quickly applied his
| afr-brakes and brought the car to a
stop within a few feet of the point
where the collision had taken place.
The occupants Of the car claim that
the motorman was looking In the d.
rection of the ball park with the idea
of seeing the players in preliminary
practice. and did not see nor hear the
occupants of the car. as they shouted
that the car was coming down upon
them.
The motorman explained at the time,
that he was looking the other way
when the auto came up the incline.
| and that when he espied the machine
| on the tracks, his brakes refused to
act promptly.
None of the occupants of the car was
| seriously hurt. With the exception of
| wrenched shoulders and sprained
ankle. Mr.. Rice and his guests felt no
| Ill effects of the accident. a few min
utes after the crash. After seeing
| that the wrecked car had been pulled
| to the side OF the tracks. the three
| men entered the ball park and wit
messed the game.
