When Representative Fi.zge raid
recently introduced an amendment
designed to bring about the repeal OF
the present tariff law, he did the re-
publican party in particular and the
whole people of the nation in general

estimated. The amendment was
voted down, and the present tariff
law upheld by vote of $50 to 116.
Every republican OF the House voted
TO sustain the present law, while every
democrat voted in favor of its repeal.
1t must be understood that some
twenty republicans voted against the
bill on it's passage last August, and

its repeal. This is most complet

Points Regarding The Census.

oints AhCS6HuAuS AuC ScuSue.
The census begins April 15 and must be
completed in thirty days.
The enumerators will wear a badge in
scribed ssUnited States Census, 1907.
The Law requires every adult person to
furnish the prescribed information, but
also provides that it shall be treated con-
fidentially, so that no injury can come to
any person from answering the questions.
The census bureau, prior to April Is,
will distribute to every farm owner and
tenant in this State a blank or schedule
containing the census questions relative
to farm operations and equipment. This
should be filled up, il possible, not later
than the morning Of April Is, but il any,
one has been unable to fill it up by that
time, he should do it as soon afterwards as
he can.
People who do not speak English or
who do not understand the schedule com
pietely should get help from others, if
possible, in filling it up.
The President has issued a proclamation
the census, and assuring them that it has
nothing to do with taxation, army or jury
service, compulsory school attendance,
regulation of immigration, or enforcement
Of any law. and that no one can be injured
by answering the inquiries.
1t is Of the utmost Importance that the
farm census Of this State be complete and
correct. Therefore every farm owner and
tenant should promptly, fully, and accu-
rately fill up the advance farm schedule
and carefully preserve it for the enumera-
tor when he calls.

THE TARIFF LAW.
No Commercial War Imports and
Revenue High Prices.

No Commercial War Imports and
Revenue High Prices.
WASHINGTON, d. C., April - At mid
night on March 81. the several features Of
the new tariff law which did not 20 into
effect at its enactment became operative.
Among other such features was the maxi
mum and minimum clause, and so efics-
so diplomatic has been the President and
State department that il is quite likely
that the maximum rates will not be
applied to . single country. More than
100 proclamations have been signed BY the
President granting the minimum rates to
various countries, including all the i'm
portant commercial nations
This result is distinct victory for and
q yindication OF the wisdom of the repub-
Iican leaders who framed the tariff bill,
and has secured for this country the best
possible rates for our exports into foreign
countries and al the same time has not in
a single instance brought on a commercial
war with any of those countries.
1t makes stronger than ever the state
meut made by President Taft and repeated
by other republican leaders, that the
present tariff bill is the bes, law we ever
had. For not only have the new features
which were engrafted into the law been
eminently successful, but the two greatest
reasons for protective tariff namely, rev.
enue and protection, have both come to US
in surprising degrees.

As for the revenue, it can be judged
how successful the new law has been by
the returns up to April /. A year ago at
this time the receipts from all sources for
the nine months ending March 81 were
about $i3O, 0oO 900, while this year they are
about s4s0, 000. 600. A year ago the deficit
was over go, 00o, 900, while at present it
is considerably under 1000, 600, and
there seems to be little doubt that it will
be wiped out altogether by the end of the
fiscal year, and that, too, without con-
sidering the receipts from the corpora
tion tax. which is estimated will be from
$500, 600 TO $50, 900 900.
In fact as revenue measure there has
probably never been tariff Law which has
adjusted itself SO readily and SO perfectly
to expenditures. 1t will be admitted that
a large surplus is never desirable, and Of
course We should not have a deficit, but to
have the expenditures and receipts run
along about together is just the desirab Bile
attainment that should be reached in
tariff law, and is the result under the law
which We are now operating.
1t is complained by many that our for
eign trade has proven that the new tariff
bill was not protective enough in many OF
its features. 1t is true that our imports
have increased largely under its operation
and that our exports have really decreased,
making our balance of trade smaller than
for many years. 1t is not, however. shown
that these increased importations have to
any large extent displaced American man.
ufacfures. 1t is to be concluded that they
are mostly Injuries and material to be
worked up by our factories.
So long as our people continue to be
busy and fully employed, as is the case,
just 80 long will these increased impor-
tations not be burden, but will con-
tribute in q degree to our very pros
perity. In some cases, however, it is
apparent that the new rates of duties
have allowed importations OF commodi-
ties which we should prefer to see pro-
duced in this country. Till, however.
such q result interferes with American
production and shuts off the American
factories, We should not complain. The
situation, however, will be watched
closely, and il it is found the rates in any
particular schedule are too low there will,
Of course, be an agitation for an increase.
But taken as a whole, the new tariff law
is working almost perfectly, and there is
little disposition to have the law changed
for years to come. The demagogue and
the agitator will no doubt continue to
claim that there must be another revision,
but it is noted that the people at large are
well satisfied with present conditions, and
that the business men throughout the
country would object to any change at
present.
The question OF high prices is still an
acute one, but at least two conclusions
have been reached, and in spite of the vast
amount OF misrepresentation which. has
been going on, the people are becoming
convinced that these high prices are in

The question OF high prices is still an

have been reached, and in spite of the vast

been going on, the people are becoming
convinced that these high prices are in
the first place worldwide, and exist in
foreign countries in some instances to q
larger extent than here at home, and that
they are in no way to be charged to the
tariff. As the months go on approaching

people will learn that our tariff, which
