WILSON WOULD REPEAL ALL
PROTECTIVE TARIFF LAWS.

The following Is taken from
an address delivered by Pro
fessor Woodrow Wilson before
the tariff board in 1882. showing
his view then on the question
Of the tariff and the distinct an.
nouncement OF his position as
a free trader. opposed to all
tariffs except merely for the pur.
pose Of raising revenue;
"But the danger Of imposing
protective duties is that when
the policy is once embarked
upon It cannot be easily reoeded
from. Protection Is nothing
more than a bounty. and when
we offer bounties to manufactur
ers they will enter into indus
tries and build up interests and
when at later day we seek to
overthrow this protective tariff
we must hurt somebody and OF
course there Is objection. They
will say. Thousands of men will
be thrown out Of employment
and hundreds Of people will lose
their capital This seems very
plausible; but | maintain that
manufacturers are made better
manufacturers whenever they
are thrown upon their own re-
sources and left to the natural
competition of trade"
Protection also binders com
merce immensely. The English
people do not send as many
goods to this country as they
would II the duties were not so
much and In t. a. way there is
a restriction Of commerce and
We are building up manufactor
les here at the expense Of com
merce. We are holding our.
selves aloof from foreign coun-
tries in effect and saying, We
are sufficient to ourselves; we
wish to trade. not with England.
but with each other I main
tain that ii is not only a per
nicious system, but a corrupt
system.
by Commissioner Garland:
@. Are you advocating the re-
peal Of all tariff laws?
"A. OF all protective tarif
laws; of establishing a tariff for
revenue merely. It seems to me
very absurd to maintain that we
shall have free trade between
different portions of this country
and at the same time shut our
selves out from free communica
ton with other producing coun-
tries Of the world. II II is neces-
sary to impose restrictive duties
on goods brought from abroad It
would seem to me as a matter
Of logic, necessary to Impose
similar restrictions on goods
taken from one state Of this
Union to another That follows
as a necessary consequence;
there is no escape from IT,"

SOUP KITCHEN IN
BILLINGS SCHOOL

Prevailing inclement weather
has caused the principal in charge
in one of the largest ward schools
in Billings, which is located in the
southern part of the city, to start
the soup Kitchen" which was in
troduced last winter for the bene-
fit of pupils who are compelled to
walk great distance, or whose
parents are in INDECENT circum-
stances.
A large stove has been installed
and nourishing soup is served to
the children at a cost of 2 cents a
bowl. This does not liquidate the
expense, but the deficiency is made
up by money supplied by the Wo-
mans club. Pupils who are unable
to pay this small amount arc given
the privilege of earning this SIM
pie noon meal by washing dishes
and doing other labor of the light.

Tt is claimed by the teachers
that the pupils supplied with this
nourishment, the majority of whom
otherwise have no food at noon
have shown marked Improvement
in the work done in the various
studies during the afternoon.

SMITH BROS. SHEEP
CO, in COURT

The petition Of Anna Maud
Kahle and William Smith for the
appointment of a receiver to take
charge Of the affairs of the Smith
Bros. Sheep company, Of Meagher
county, was granted by Judge
Hunt at Helena yesterday. 1t is
probable Louis Hiteman of Helena
and White Sulphur Springs, will
be named. Mr.. Heitman is one of
the prominent old-timers of Mon
tana.
The petitioners are suing, one
in the federal court, and the other
in the state courts, for the recoy-
cry of the shares in the company
they inherited from their father,
and which were subsequently sold
by their guardian to another rela-
tive. A similar suit was brought
by Nellie Mae moore, and decided
in her favor. The petitioners al
lege the company's affairs are be.
ing mismanaged and the assets
dissipated.
Judge Hunt said orally he laid
much stress upon the acts of the
defendants in October and Noyem
Der Of last year, as disclosed by
the testimony, and was impelled
to the conclusion there had been
misconduct. He said further tina,
W. W. Flatt, manager of the com
pany, in failing to have the books
properly kept, was guilty of wha,
amounted to affirmative mis-
conduct.

HIS WAY
FREEZES TO DEATH

AT an early hour last Sunday
morning a young man named Al.
@. Perdue was frozen to death
while beating his way from Round
up to HarloWton underneath a car
of the belated passenger train.
Some uncertainty seemed to
exist as to the identity of the de
ceased when news was received
from Harlowton of the finding of
the body, but from the description
it was decided that the body was
that Of Perdue, who had worked
for short time in Roundup as a
cook.
Perdne was seen near the depot
just before the train came in,
about 3 o'clock Sunday morning,
and was heard to say that he was
going to leave town. He was
dressed in an ordinary suit, with.
out cap or overcoat, and the ther.
mometer stood at about 25 below
zero. An attempt to ride under
meath the train was suicidal
When found at Harlowton he was
completely frozen, and had to be
cut away. -. Roundup Tribune.

0ervIno His Country.

A certain public Office has been the
object Of much satire because OF the
passive nature of the incumbent's du-
tiss-except when he Is called by tragic
occurrence into the thick Of action. 30
very negative, indeed, Is the work OF
this public servant that he sometimes
serves bis country most efficiently by
being absent, o. appears in this extract
from Moses Colt Tylers journal, writ
ten In Washington years ago:
President Grant never starts a con-
versation, but when 1t Is started he
often says a neat thing. Last year
there was an excursion down the Po-
tomac. He was on board, with bis cabi-
net and a quorum Of both houses.
"Mr. President said Mrs. Judd,
who sat near him, 1t would be pretty
bad thing to have great accident hap
pen to this party. Nearly the whole
government would be destroyed
"Yes, Mrs. Judd assented the pres
ident, but you observe that the vice
president has very prudently stayed at

The Lerot and the Snake.

Every one has heard Of the remarka-
BILE combats Of the Indian mOngoOse
with venomous snakes, in which little
rikki-tikki-tavi comes off victor. The
fact tilat the mongoose invariably sur
wives has led to the suggestion that 1t
Is immune to snake poison. Other ami
mails said TO be immune are the pig
and the hedgehog. The experiments
Of British naturalists show that an
animal OF the dormouse family must
be added to the list of the immune.
This animal is known as the lerot and
is said TO fight fercely with vipers.
Large doses Of viper's poison were In.
jected into one lerot, from which In.
lection no Ill effects followed. On one
occasion a lerot was bitten badly In
the eye by a viper. and no signs Of
poisoning occurred. There can, 1t is
thought, be no doubt that the lerot Is
immune to snake poison.

Talking canaries are great rarity,
but several authenticated instances are
on record At Norwood, England, In
1868 a lady had a canary bird which
began by repeating a word which its
mistress had often used to it-"Kissie,
kissie"-and by following the word up
by an imitation Of the sound Of kiss.
After a time the bird repeated other
words until 1t had large vocabulary
of phrases. one Of which consisted Of
Ave words. Again, in 1868. talking
canary was exhibited In Bath, with a
vocabulary such as is generally taught
to parrots, and another talking canary
was exhibited for few weeks in this
country, but 1t unfortunately caught
cold and died. In Germany and the
Tyrol eanaries are taught to initiate
the notes of other birds and whistle
simple tunes, and the words which 1t
initiates may be regarded as a mere
development or variant Of Its musical
notes.
