A Good and Bad Tariff Bill.

The new tariff bill as i, passed the
lower house makes deep cut on
nearly all duties. There are some
features Of the bill that cannot be de-
Tended because they are unfair.
There is no sense in putting -four on
the free list and leaving a duiv on
wheat. Free -four is the same as free
wheat. II dressed beef is to be aG-
mitted free then there should be no
duty on cattle. There is no excuse,
except politics, in putting wool on
the free list and leaving a duty on
goat hair. A heavy duty is placed
on fcrro manganese. used in the man.
ufacture Of steel and only manufac-
tured in this country by one concern,
the Steel trust. The independent
steel companies will have to 90
abroad and buy their supplies and
pay large duty, which evidently
gives a big advantage to the S,eel
trust over its weaker competitors.
Already 800 amendments have been
proposed to the bill, which is now
pending in the senate, and the hosts
Of privilege are swarming at Washing
ton as never before. The mere citi-
zen alone is silent. unheard from.
As usual he is lie aving all to his rep
resentatives. No donbt some chang
es will be made in the bill in the sem
ate, but it is likely to pass about as i,
was drawn up in the house The
Missouri Valley Farmer.

HIS TURN

Two motorists, having almost ruin"
ed their tempers-and their tires
in a vain attempt to find hotel with
a vacant bed, were at last forced to
make the best of a small inn.
Even then they had to share a bed,
which was-and on this the landlord
laid great stress-a feather bed.
They turned in, and one of the
pair was soon fast asleep; the other
was not. He could not manage to
dodge the Jumps, and heard hour aft
er hour strike on the church clock
until 8 a. m, when he also struck.
He did this by violently shaking his
snoring friend.
Whats the matter?" growled the
other. 'It can't be time to get up
yet~@
mo, it isn't" retorted his friend.
continuing to shake him; "but it's
my turn to sleep on the feather!"
