come the wife of the distinguished son
OF the late Sir William HarCourt.

uent through his bold fight against the

GERMANY AND U. S. REACH
AGREEMENT ON TARIFF
Minimum Rates Will Be Exchanged by

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-THE admin

many. Cattle and dressed meat were
eliminated from the present ngotia-
tons. but will be taken up later. Con-
cessions have been made by both
countries and a tariff war has been
averted.
The result of the negotiations agreed
10 is to exchange American minimum
rates for the entire and unqualified
minimum list OF Germany. The resul,
is considered just and advantageous
TO both countries. II the following
statement issued at the state depart
ment the details OF the final agreement
are given:
"A satisfactory settlement OF the
tariff negotiations with Germany,
which have been going on for some
months. under the presidents direc'
ton. has been reached.
The basis OF the settlement is that
Germany grants TO the United States
her full conventional tariff rates IN
return FOR the minimum tariff OF the
United States This is an exchange
OF minimum for minimum. II places
the United States on exactly the same
terms as all other countries 10 which
Germany grants conventional rates
under its various commercial conven-
tions or most favored nation treaties.
In the presidents opinion the re-
sponsibil!ties deyClved on him by the
Payne-Aldrich act require from all
countries a grant 10 the United States
of substantially their lowest tanf
rates. 1t is a source OF much gratiica-
ton to the president that Germany
finds it possible 10 extend 10 the
United States her complete minimum
schedules without reservation or

WASHINGTON, Feb 4--The puo-
Hcity feature OF the corporation tax
law is 20 become operative. but is 10
b. Interpreted literally BY the chief
executive according 70 decision
reached Dy President Taft today.
The president, in the course Of a
conference with ). e. Meads. secrc-
tary Of the Merchants association OF
New York. told Meads that he will
not sanction any changes in the cor
poIation tax law. Meads pleaded the
Corporatioa's view OF the publicity
feature OF the act which be said would
place at the hands OF competitors vital
business information
The president said that II will be
unnecessary TO amend the law to avoid
this as the extent OF publicity Will
come within the discretion OF the de-
partment administering the law.
President Taft said that he had hal
several conferences with Attorney
General Wickersham and Secretary Of
tho Treasury MacVeagh on the sub
ject, and tha. they reached the conclu-
sion that no amendment would be re-
quired and that departmental regula-
tons could obviate the difficulty in
the act as Il now stands The treas
ury department I'm collecting the tax
would be bound by rules which would
dispose OF publicity features most 90

S5OO,00O,O00 more for diversified

output Of 1900, cotton included.
Possibly the magnitude OF this

the simple statement that they will
exceed by at least 5000, 900, 900 the
total value of all farm crops OF the
United States in 1890.
Surely these are wonderful figures.
They are only Indicative, however,
OF the general advance OF the South
They give reason for much OF its
progress in city building and irdus-
trial activity.
With such q foundation on which
to build, with such increasing pros
perity among the farmers, 1t is diff
cult to set any limit to the posi-
bilities OF the growth OF the South
during the next ten wears. 1t has
now solved the troublesome prob
lens that confronted it's agricultural
interests ten years ago. 1t has Sc
cured the worlds recognition OF L
profitable price for cotton. 1t has
found a way to diversity it's agricul-
ture to such an extent that it is
no longer compelled TO make cotton
its only money crop, but it can turn
its attention from cotton TO other
interests to equal profit 1t Is enter
ing upon a period Of increasing agri-

business interests, OF rapidity Of

Mr.. Pou has done everything that

He has been at his post of duty far be-
yond the measure that most Representa-
tives consider necessary. He is, in fact,
one OF the men who hardly ever misses
roll call, is always present when his COM
mittees meet-and it is in these COM
mittees that most legislation is perfected
and has always worked in harness on
the floor in accord with Democratic
policies and Democratic programs. He
has been Just the contrary of neglectful.
In certain sense it might be said OF
him, as it might be said OF me, or any
other Democratic member, that he had
accomplished very little, to wit: In de-
defeating Republican partisan legisla-
ton, and in the sense OF enacting
Democratic partisan legislation. Evil
IDENTITY, from the manner in which you
write, however, you are a man OF too
much intelligence to expect that he or |
or anybody else, or all the Democrats in

burden and accomplished his full share
OF possible results.

Good Way to Use

bowl OF steaming water each night be-
fore retiring a great aid in curing stub
born cases.
Try it; it's very simple; gives quick
| relief and makes you breathe easier.
Fill bowl half full Of boiling water;
pour into the water a teaspoonful OF
HYO-MEI, cover head and BOWL with a
towel and breathe through nose and
mouth the pleasant, medicated, antisep-
tic and healing vapor that arises.
This method relieves that stufiness at
once, and makes your head feel fine.
You can get bottle of HYOMEI at
druggists everywhere or at W. W. Par
ker's for only 80 cents. Ask for extra
bottle of HYOMEI inhalent.
But bear in mind that a HYOMEI out
fit which includes inhaler and bottle of
HYOMEI costs $1.O0.
But, as stated before, if you already
own an inhaler a bottle OF HYOMEI
costs but so cents.
HYOMEI is guaranteed by W. ".
Parker and druggists everywhere to cure
catarrh, sore throat, coughs, colds,
asthma and Group, or m oney back. Try
it on that generous basis.
Stomach dosing never cured tatarrh,
