Taft Democratic i'm Tariff Ideas.
Washington March 31.-Without any
preliminaries the house today resumed
the consideration of the tariff bill.
Morgan of Missouri urged protection
for the zinc industry Quoting from n
speech of President Taft that the pri
mary purpose of the tariff was that
more revenue may be provided for the
government, Brantley of Georgia de-
clared this to be true democratic doc
trine. The primary purpose of the
Payne bill, he contended was not
revenue but the maintenance of the
true republican theory of protection.
He laid the present deficit at the door
of what he charged was republican ex-
trayagance.
Mann Speaks for Free Pulp.
Standing behind a table loaded
down with all sorts of exhibits show
ing the various stages of making
wood pulp and paper, Mann of llli-
nois discussed the recommendations
OF the pulp and paper committee, of
which he is chairman, for a reduc-
tion of the duty on wood pulp and
paper and which recommendations
the ways and means committee
adopted.
All Depends Pulp.
Discussing the various proceSSeS
for making pulp, Mann said the
whole theory of cheap paper depend
ed upon the cheapness of ground
wood and the supply of spruce wood.
Reading from the official statistics,
the man said fair estimate was
there were 100000 acres east of
the Mississippi carrying $4,000, 0,000,-
900 feet of spruce timber, but he de-
clared, if the use of spruce timber
for lumber or wood pulp were to he
confined TO the domestic supply, 1t

tended, the forest could not be re

If. he argued, the United State:

the spruce come from and he poiut
ed out that reduction of the dut!

DEALERS STOP At

RETAIL MARKETS EXPERIENCE
INCREASE IN TRADE FOR
ALL SUPPLIES.
Steady Decline In Egg Priesthood
Buyers Scout Report of 80 Cents
for September Delivery.

With the close of the Lenten season
yesterday local retail markets exper
of supplies, preparatory for the open
ing of Easter today, when the usual
celebration after the season of semi
self denial will occur Receipts or
local green stuffs were not in as great
supply yesterday by local wholesalers
on account of the rain hndering the
gardeners in bringing in their sup
plies. Dealers are 10th to accept
green stuffs in a wet condition as they
say it is unwise to ship moist goods
when packed tightly
Local buyers are inclined to scout
the report that Walla Wallas wheat
crop for the present year is worth 90
cents for September delivery just now.
despite the report from Sound points
that several thousand bushels of blue
STAN were sold in the Seattle mer-
chants exchange at $1.OO for October
delivery. One buyer in this city who
also has about 400 acres in bluestem,
stated yesterday that he would be
willing to dispose of his crop at 80
cents. This same man said no con-
tracts so far as he knew had been
made here by growers on this years
crop, at least none at the price of 80
cents.
The past week has witnessed
steady decline in egg prices due to
heavy receipts from country sources.
Starting at % IL cents retail the first
of last week, closing prices yesterday
showed decline of 1-2 cents.
Whether this week will show a further
decline in the egg market is problem
atical, and depends entirely upon the
quantity of local offerings. The de-
mand for poultry of all corts continues
good, with hens and Springs still
little short of the needs of the trade.

| for this world, even if death did end
all?
Verse 20.-What is the chief evil
oence OF the truth of Christianity?
What is the proof that Jesus did
rise from the dead? (See Matt. XVI:
1918; Mark xvi:14 Luke xiv: So SO;
John xx:4, 5, IA, 26; xxi:4; Acts i:3
IL, 30, 81; Cor. xv:3-S, ct seq.)
Is the fact of the resurrection of
Jesus to be proved by evidence, like
any other fact, and is there any other
historic fact better attested?
Why was it, when Jesus was cruel
fled, that His disciples were a dis
prite band, having lost heart, and go
ing back to their former occupation,
and what was it afterwards that put
new life in them, and made then. the
most courageous men that ever lived
(This question must be answered in
writing by members Of the c!ub.)
What became the prominent theme
of their preaching?
Is it credible that such noble men,
who afterward laid down their lives
for the truth, would testify that they
had seen and talked to Jesus after his
death, if they had not so seen him?
Verse. 21-22-Would there have
been natural death if there had been
no sin?
Would there have been any resur-
rection of the dead if Jesus had not
been resurrected?
Verses 23-2S-Was Christ the first
man to rise from the dead?
When will the general resurrection
be?
Will Christ finally abolish death
and destroy sin?
Has God put all the forces of nature
under the control of Jesus?

Providing the soul is immortal is it.
or not, of material Importance whether
the body is raised or not?
If there is no resurrection of the

that Christ is not risen; but is the
converse true, that if Christ is risen
then all human beings will necessarily
be resurrected?
1t seems that some in Corinth de-
MED the resurrection of the dead in
the sense that there is no life after
death. now if that We're true, then how
much would there be left of Christi

What is the process of reasoning

What is the scripture proof of life

Can you mention a single nation or
tribe of the past, or at the present
which has not believed in immortal
