TARIFF BENEFITS COLORADO
Continued from page onc)

Continued from page one)
that there should be duty on zinc
bearing ore of all kinds, including Gala
mine containing 10 per cent or more of
zinc ranging from u of l per cent per
pound to l cent per, pound, according
TO the zine contents of the ore.
The new duty thus provided upon zine
ores was one of the increases in duty
provided by the Payne law over the du-
ties provided by the Dingley law. In
The Glenwood post., 1910-03-26

all. there were S74 changes in duties
made in the Payne law. Of thosel
changes 6j4 were decreases and 22o
were increases. The great majority OF
increases Were made upon luXuries for
the purpose of securing much needed
additional revenue for the national
government In "A few instances there
were increases where. as in the case of
zinc. it was clearly shown that the duty
was necessary to protect a home indus
try.
The tariff law is having the desired
effect wherever increases were made, as
is shown by the article quoted from
the Rocky Mountain News. The zinc
miners of Mexico are no longer enabled
to dump their product upon the Amerl-
can market, which they produce very
cheaply owing to pcon labor, but are
forced. as the Rocky Mountain News
article states. to send the product of
their mines to Germany instead of to
the United States. 1t leaves the home
| market for zinc to the zinc miners of
Missouri. Colorado and other American
states. 1t is a striking illustration of
! the benefit that Colorado is deriving
| from the Payne tariff law.
! Yours very truly.

the morning, If the weather holds

that made this here witchhazel crotch
double over and point straight down
towards Chiny the way it did. 1t
plumb looks superstitious to me. Ma,
don't it to your"
1 hope the weather does hold
good, she said, reverting to the pro-
posed work in the pasture.
That is as 1t may be-" Silas agreed
He was greatly rested now, and al
ready felt confident of success, draw
ing both his comfort and his assur-
ance from this brief chat in the k1tch-
en- with Mother.
The weather was crisp but bright
the next morning when Silas, armed
with the witch-hazel crotch, and
pick and spade. started for the pas
ture. The cattle had been labor1ousIy
Watered from the we'll near the house
and Silas' shoulders still ached with
the strain Of carrying the heavily
laden buckets to the barnyard trough.
This was an excellent reason why he
should discover a new vein or water
or spring, as speedily as possible.
Once more he took out the witch
hazel crotch, wound an end about
thumb on each hand, and, holding the
stick carefully erect, paced off the
ground as he had done the day preV1-
GUS. Intent as he was in a quest SO
important, one needing to be com
pleted ere the winter set in in Good
earnest, he was not likely to notice
that anything unusual was bearing
down in his direction.
Hello, pard, what in Sam Hill re
you up to, hey?' came voice so close
that Silas' hands fell with jerk and
the stick, thus barred to the force OF
gravity, pointed shamelessly down
ward. Turning, he saw the bent and
shambling figure of a wayfarer, whose
grey-blue eyes were regarding him
with jocose impertinence. A reddish
beard, somewhat matted and unkempt,
hid the lower part of his face and his
hat, of the Derby make, supporting
several breaks in the crown, was
pulled well over his forehead.
Silas readjusted his crotch and con-
tinued his explorations. 1t was not
the first time that hobo had crossed
his pasture land. which was & cross

"IN THE DARK"

A recent diner at West end hotel
tells of quaint incident he noticed
there the other night. The band was
playing certain popular music hall
air, and young lady at one OF the
tables, curious to know what 1t was,
asked her waiter to find out.
The man departed, laden with
plates, but was so long gone that the
anxious inquirer clean forgot her Gu
riosity as to the tune. Well on
through the dinner she was somewhat
alarmed to hear a husky, cultural
voice from behind say.
I'm afraid to go home in the
dark
'FWhat?" exclaimed the lady, in
alarm.
I'm afraid" repeated the mysteri-
ous voice. in slow, impressive &C
cents, ito go home in the dark"
The lady gave a little scream and,
turning to male companion, said:
"Is this man mad?"
1t was only after an anxious inter
val that the explanation was under
stood.

nearest railroad. He had a native
hatred for the class, yet he also hated
to show the man that his voice and
manner were an affront to good breed
ing.
But, ignorance or Indifference being
much in evidence with the newcomer,
this gentle tolerance was not prop
erly appreciated.

fellers say prayers on Thanksgivin'
mornin'. amt it?" the tramp asked,
taking a firm stand as though he
might willingly become a piece Of
pasture statuary.
"Try it on yourself" Silas retorted
over his shoulder you look like you
needed some redeemin'."
The tramp emitted a husky chuckle,
but showed no signs of continuing his
| Journey. The sound irritated Silas
more than did the familiar manner
which the man exploited, but he re-
sumed his work, keeping his eyes on
the crotch, which here began to teeter
4
and sway in a most promising man
ner. It slipped half way over, then
down, and down, until it pointed
straight to the close-cfopped ground
at his feet.

rubbing his hands in anticipation,
latter prayers, baptism; and we'll
need the water. / can jest about see
that water comm up bubblin' for my
special benefit"
Silas was all the more angry at
this token of irreverence for things
sacred. With an impatient hitch at
his trousers he paused, still with his
back to the visitor, and gave back
a caustic:
You'll need a-plenty Of soap, too,
to git the bugs off ye."
At this the tramp subsidized instant

thrust would be so effective on what
was apparently calloused material.
