WHAT SHOULD BE DONE WITH
THE TARIFF.

Both Houses of Congress ought tt
face without lodging or flinching the
righteous demand Of the country for
a practical reduc ion and simplifica-
be supposed that the Senate could
adept House bills without ample de-
bate and some amendment; but there
is no reason why there should be
hopeless deadlock. Especially it ought
to be poss BILE for House and Senate
. agree upon bills giving the country
lies, the paper and pulp schedule, an
several others. These bills cannot
lie ideal, nor cam they be final as
one looks ahead number OF years.
The thing that the country expects
is al very decided overhauling of the
tariff in order to get from the high
to a very much more timely and de-
| fansible basis. From this new level of
tariff reform it should be possible to
proceed very carefully, and with out
any haste. along the line OF proper

thay have done in Germany and else

ON THE WAY BACK WITH a LIT
TER OF BIG CUBS.

For some time past the general
public has waged a good fight against
the big Industrial trusts, but has neg
lected to guard against the stealthy
advance Of the Aldrich central bank
schemers.
Ex-secretary Of the Treasury Shaw
has long contended that corporation
could well afford to pay the entire
national debt for a charter such as
the Adrich scheme proposes to be-
stow as a gracious gift.
The mem behind the Aldrich scheme
have their plans well formulated
and their hooks well concealed. The
bate they hold out to the country
banker is quite aluring, and it is
safd to say that they already have
majority of the country bankers on
their string.
sb35t 5 ,
In the days Of General Jackson the
people suffered from the exact
ions and financial manipulations OF
the central bank as yrieyousIy as
they have in recent years from the
extortions OF the trusts. And when
the old central bank was overthrown
by Jackson, thoughtful men predicted
that he had only put it out OF bust.
ness for the time being. They likened
the institution to a man eating lion
ess, and took the position that Jack
son had only wounded the animal an,
driven her back into the jungle, from
which she would again emerge with {
litter of big cubs by her side. She is
not yet out into the open, but is or
the way back, moving stealthily OF
softly padded feet

GROUND LIMESTONE.

The Use of lime in field practice
has been known for many centurie:
but it is only within the last 100
years that Americana. asriculturist:
have, been adopting this product as
an aid to good results.
1t is not claimed that lime adds
to the ne essary chemical elements
although it is question whether OF
no. calcium, which is one of the nee
essary plant foods, is always present
in sufficient quantities. 1t is con2ed'
ed, however, that as a corrective to
acidity, if for no other purpose, its
use is warranted.
1t has been demonstrated, however
that in addition to the beneficial re-
suits obtained by the correction OF
the acid in certain soils. the decom-
position of certain chemical comEOlmr
in the soil is favora'b4y effected by
the introduction of lime. This applies
especially to the release of potash,
H.,
by chemical analysis. to an a3und-
ance, is more often in the form of
feldspar, which, until it is decompos-
cd. is not available.
Phosphorus also, while it may ex-
list i'm sufficient quantities in the
soil, is not always available because
it. is frequently combined with other
elements, particularly iron and alum
mum. These compounds being nsol-
uble, are unavailable. The addition
of lime attracts the phosphorus,
breaks up the compound. and renders
the phosphorus. acid available for
plant food.
Lime is also valuable in aiding the
decomposition of organic matter.
With Iowa soil especially, perhaps
because of the destruction of the hum
us, the soil texture is generally had;
the overturned earth is hard, lifeleSS,
and inactive. The addition of lime
melows the soil, it shows greater
vieOr, and air and water are absorbed
more easily AS soon as lime is sup
piled. a change takes place in the
soil particles They flocculate and
they gather together in small balls.
Soils in this condition attracts the
air and water more freely, to the adj
vantage of the plant roots that are
extending themselves In this condi-
ton, extremes of dry or wet weather
will not affect the soil injurously.
as would be the ease of they were
soil bound and lifeless.

Defendants.
To the above defendants:

fled that. there is now on file in the
office of the Clerk of the District Court
of Iowa in and for Delaware County
a petition in equity in which plaintiffs
claims that he is the absolute and un-
qualified owner in fee simple of the
Number I:ighty-threc $50 in the City
of Manchester, Delaware County. Iowa.
That the plaintiff and his grantors
have been in the adverse possession OF
said real estate above described for more
than ten vars last past as owners there
of. That such possession has bcep ac-
tual: open, notorious, continuous and eN.
elusive under color of title and claim OF

tile to the world
Plaintiff states on information and be-
lief that the defcdants hold or are MAX
ing some claim to the premises adverse
to the plaintiff.
That the claims to an interest IN
by the defendant Lewis Iianbinestel aud
those unknown defendants claiming by.
through or under him is derived from,
the fact that the records OF said county
show that by a certain deed dated tie
eth of October. 1856. executed by L..
burlington and Lois. his wife, conveying
the North 24-66 of Lot Eighty-three $50
other property. which said deed was re-
corded in Eooll Il. page sc OF the decd
records of Delaware County. Iowa. the
said defendant was named as grant &c
and no deed or conveyance from hin,
of said property is shown upon the
records of said county. Plaintiff states
the fact to be that by the deed of the
treasurer of Delaware County. bearing
date the 10th of February. 1882. where
by Il portion of said property was CON

That the mode of dcvolution of the

of the unknown defendants is as as

devfsees, legatees or c'aiman' s

MALIGNANT EFFECT OF MISUSE
OF. WORDS,

1t wouuld require a mathematical
genius to estimate the malignant in
fluence of the words protection, on
one side, and "rcvenre only" on the
other side, in determining the merits
arA dement's OF our different tariff
policies
The defination Of the word protec-
ton has little application to the tar
if system known by that name.
Yet it has taken the masses of the
PEOPLE a long time to see through
the imposition It has taken long,
long time for the public to learn that
our so called protective tariffs protec1
or benefit only a flvored few, and
that they victimize millions of ;ulti.
mate consumers. Nevertheless tie
word protection helps to perratuate
the vicious system or policy which
bears that name. On the other
hand, the words revenue only" are.
to saay the least, misleading, iniu-
rious and a. weight upon an o.herw's Sc
meritorious revenue system.
It is not possible to procure the
country's necessary revenue without
imposing import duties upon articles
which are also produced or manufact-
ured in this country. And every
dollar Of such revenue. collected 1t
our custom houses, gives the Amer
lean producer or manuf!ctGrar chat
much advantage over. CT protect
ion against his foreign <omc.eitcr
When that is true, why use the words
for revenue only" No one will con.
tend but what tariff for revenue
carries with i. an incidental protac-
ton. A tariff for revenue, tariff
the primary objcc. of which shall
be the raising of revenue, is what
democrats stand for and hore to pro.
cure. The fact tha. a. tariff for
revenue purposes affcrCs ccr.ain
protection or advantage to Americans
does not hurt the feelings of dem
ocrats, ard shat word only has n,
use in their platforms. It is malig,
nantly misEsct. and misunderstood by
many.

SPECIAL WASHINGTON tcoR-
REsPoNDENcE. ts rs
By CLYDE Tayenner.

Washington, July - Another
step toward carrying out campaign
pledges was taken by the majority
of the House of Representatives
when it adopted cotton schedule
which greatly reduces the tax on all
kinds Of cotton goods.
Ii Che Republican Senate and Pre-
ident Taft will permit the bill to be-
come law, the public will be assur-
ed OF substantial reducttSaf' in prices.
The bill is so framed as to be a
particular boon to the poor; fer the
greatest reductions are made On cot
tons used by the middle classes and
the poor. This feature OF the Demo
cratic bill is in particularly, striking
contrast to the Payne-Aldrich law,
which levies the lowest rates on tue
grades Of cottons used Ly the
wealthy, and the highest tex on the
tons used by the poor.
The PayneAldrich tx OF 5000 per
cen, on ready made c,o-Ling and arti'
cles of every description composed
of cotton or vegetable fibre is reduc'
ed to 80 per cent. The Payne-Aldrict
tax OF As per cent. on blankets and
quilts, towels. doilies. batting, mops
washaags, ETC., is reduced toE25 pei
cent The Payne-Aldrich duty Of
5000 on sheets is cut to Is per cent:
The Payne-Aldrich tax on shirts
sweaters and all articles Of cottor
underwear Of every description !:
reduced to 80 per cent, Similar reduc
ducel to 80 per cent. Similar rednc
tions are made on every item in ',h'
entire cotton schedule.

The NrevisiCn bills of the progress

Notwithstanding this newly consider

That the Plogre ssive Alliance in

H.. Le.ler OF several senators.
Speaking tor his colleagues Sena-
tor Newlands said Il am aware that
in this great work the Democrats
! lnay not accomplish all that they
Lu..e TO accomplish. l am aware
that tley may not be able to pass
the bills in the precise form in which
! they passed the house. The differ
ence, however, between the Demo,
Gratis and the Progressive Republi,
cans is that while the Progressive Re
publicaHs cannot, consistently, with
their principles, go as far in the line
Of reduction as the Democrats would
in the matter Of tariff reform, the
Democrats, acting upon their princi
pies, can go as far as the Progress
sive Republicans are willing to go
and can justify themselves before
their party and before the country VI
on that issue.
Il hope therefore that this ALI
} ance, which has put the Senate prac
tically in control Of the progressives

troll. but responsibility, will be fruit

Senator Cummins. of Iowa, who

matter than some, says that at least

Cummins, are bills fer the revision
OF the wool, cotton, steel and sugar
schedules, and free list bill of

admitted that the PIogressiyes will

An important measure pending be-
fore congress is House Resolution
No. 500, introduced by Congressman
James 7. Lloyd Of Missouri.
The measure is aimed particularly
at the action of the Taft administra-
on in prohibiting postal employees
from organizing, and the still more
remarkable Taft policy of denying
he right to petition Congress. or
even to give members Of Congress
information until it has frs been
censored by their superiors.
The Constitution guarantees to
every citizen of the United tates
the right to petition Congress.
The Lloyd resolution occupies the
novel role, therefore, of having fol
its purpose the restoration to govern
ment employees Of rights they are
entitled to under the constitution
but which rights have been taken
away from them by the President In
