Our Satisfactory Revenues.

year ago the Democrats were pre-
dieting the failure of the new Repub-
lican tariff bill as q revenue pro-
Queer. They are not making any
such predictions now. The actual
figures as to the operation OF the
tarin law during it's first year are
indeed Interesting The total ordi-
nary receipts, including customs, or
binary internal revenue, corporation
tax and miscellaneous, aggregating
$67S.S5O,816, exceeded disbursements
by $20.214.020. These ordinary re-
cefpts were greater by 5000 900, ap-
proximately. than during 1907. and
1907 receipts exceeded those of any
other year of record by almost $780,
100000. While there was a deficit Of
s1S.?34.955 in the ordinary operations
Of the Sovernr"cn. IN the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1909, there was sur
plus of more than S20,000,OO0 in the
year ended Aug. 6, 1910. These fig
ures indicate that the new tariff
deserves the praise bestowed upon il
by Republicans. Not only are Gus
toms receipts under the new tariff
higher than under any previous law.
but the total value of free imports
Is greater than under any other
tariff law. 1t happens further that
the total value of dutiable imports
is greater than ever before, thus re-
futing the assertion that new pro-
hibitive barriers were set up. Final
ly it is shown that the average ad
yalorem collection on all imports
is lower than under any tariff since
the Civil war-4k per cent lower
than under the Dingley law and one
per cent. lower than under the Will
son law, which was fathered by a
party that shouted for a tariff for
revenue only.

PARTY'S FUTURE IS ASSURED
Recent Landslide No Proof That Peo-
pie Have Lost Confidence In Re-
publican Policies.

Short memories belong to many
| men OF positive beliefs. in politics.
especially. Some of them are asking
whether the Republican party can
come back" and 1894 is only 16 years
gone,
There was a Republican revision of
the tarin just before the campaign
/ OF 1890. The Mckinley bill was the
great issue OF that year. The Repub-
lican party was judged and con-
demned on tariff-making rounds. The
house of representatives elected then
| contained 233 Democrats, So Republi-
cans and nine Populists. Only one Re
publican was elected In Wisconsin,
only four In Michigan. one In Mime
sofa and two in Kansas.
Compared with that landslide the re-
cent upheaval was not much of a con-
yulsion in politics.
In 1892 there was only a slight
change. Then the Democrats won an
other general election on the tariff
issue. They elected 900 members.
against 126 Republicans and eight
Populists. That victory gave them
the president and the United States
senate, as well as the house of repre-
sentatives. Then they took their
turn at tarifY-making.
Two years after the sweeping vic
tory in 1892. the country threw the
Democratic party out of power, in the
house OF representatives, to stay out
until now. The Bryan year of 1895
brought the opportunity to finish the
job by ousting the Democratic presi-
dent. There has never been another.
Can the Republican party come
back?"

BABY'S SCALP CRUSTED

Our little daughter. when three
months old. began to break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her, but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
scalp was solid scale AL over. The
burning and itching was SIS severe that
she could not rest, day or night. We
had about given up all hopes when we
read OF the Cuticura Remedies. We at
once got cake of Cuticma Soap. a
box of Cuticura Ointment and one bot.
tie OF Cuticura Resolvent, and fol-
lowed directions carefully. After the
first dose Of the Cuticura Resolvent.
we used the Cuticura Soap freely and
applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then
she began to improve rapidly and In
two weeks the scale came of her
head and new hair began to grow. In
very short time she was we'll. She is
now sixteen years of age and pic
ture OF health. We used the Cuti-
cura Remedies about five weeks. reg
ularly, and then we could not tell she
had been affected by the disease. We
used no other treatment after we
found out what the Cuticura Remedies
would do for her. j. Fish and Ella NJ.
