the time it got so us 1t was dad
blamed neer wore out.
Be that as it may we happend to
read in this paper that there is a
good cal of talk about the tariff in
the outside world jest at the pres
ent moment and we thort it might
be a good idee to discuss the tariff
in Bugle eddytoriul, so here goes
The main questshion seams to be
whether we shall revise the tariff
or not. Personally as editor &
prop of the Bugle we are agin re-
vising the tariff. Of course it amt
none of our bizness being as we
live off fur enuff from the popolus
centers of the world so that revi-
sing the tariff wont effeckt us emmy
and so we don't care whether its
revised or not, but ennyhow we are
agin it.
What is the use of revising the
tariff we ask if it don't need revis-
ing? And Il stands to reason that
it don't need no revising for if it
did it would of been revised long
before this. And sinst it wassent
revised long before this & ort to of
been, then why wassent it? That's
what we want to know? If it need
ed revising & wassent revised
whose fault was it that it wassent?
Let some of the men who be ta1kin
SO big about revising the tariff an
ser these questshions if they can?
In order that the authorities at
Washington will know jest what
our eddytoriul policy on the tariff
is we be a going to mail them
copy of the Bugle containing this
eddytoriul and we hope they will
govern theirselfs according and not
go to revising the tariff until they
have considered our views in the
matter. If they go ahed and mon
key with the tariff congress don't
need to be surprised if we come
right out and lambaste EN- eddyto-
riuly in the Boogle. Yessir, we'll
criticize where criticizing is due.
AS edditur of this inflooenchial
newspaper we'll hew to the line and
let the chips fly where they will
Congress cant muzzle the Boogle
and We'll let ern understand that.

EDDYTORIUL

We happend jest by chanst tc
get holt of a copy of City paper
which was left in Hen Weathers-
by's store week before last by a
drummer who was to Hens store
tryin to sell Hen a bill of goods,
but Hen was too smart for him be-
ing as he diddent buy cents
worth. Hen says there was a time
when he first went into the store
bizness thirty or 40 odd yrs ago
when a dad blamed drummer could
sell him most ennytf1ink he had a
mind to, but hes got over bein that
way.
Hen says it was a sin and a
shame the way drurnrners used to
sell him mdse which he diddent
want or have no use for, or emmy
buddy else for that matter jest be-
cuz the drummer had a smooth
tung & went and made Hen pur-
chase a big bill of sonethink that
proved to be drug on the market.
Hen says even now he has in stock
in his store things to sell which
has been on his shells for 80 yrs
and which he calkilates he will
never sell even if he lives to be as
old as Methuselem.
Hen says that some of these
mdse a few yrs ago he offered to
folks in Bingville for lessen they
cost him in hard cash to say no
think about the intrust on his mon
ey all that time, but that gradiully
he has begin to mark EN- up agin.
Hen is of the opinion that while
praps they be outen date and style
nevertheless they are not so vally-
BILE for their intrinsick worth as
you might say as for the historick
assoshiashions which clusters about
EN-. In other words Hen thinks
that the day will come when these
old stock of goods which he has
had on hand so long will be so much
like relicks that they will be with
forchune. He says that espeshial-
ly City folks will pay more for old
fashiond things than they will for
things which is right up to date.
What was it we started out to
write a eddytoriul about ennyhow ?
0 yes, we reco1leckt now-it was
about the City paper which the
drummer left to Hens store. Well,
after Hen had read the paper thro-
ugh he lent it to Anne Hi11lyer, our
talented Loryer & legal lite & Hen
lent it to Miss Polly Watkins who

DEFEND FREE WOOL
And SUGAR SCHEDULE
Declare No Legitimate Business In
terest VIII Suffer Income
Tax VIII Make Up for
Deficit in Revenues
Telegram BY United Press.

Washington, April ~. The report
On the tariff revision bill today was
submitted to the house by the Demo
cratic ways and means committee. It
holds that trusts and monopolies thirty
ed under the Republican regime; that
q competitive tariff to reduce the high
cost Of living Is imperative.
The report takes shots at Republi-
cans and the Payne-Aldrich law is de-
nounced in eaustic terms. The pres
ent high tariff policy, the report de.
olares, in no way represents the
choice OF the people.
According to the reports interpretas
tion Of the Baltimore pledge, the com
mittee believes the pledge contained
two essential ideas, the establishment
Of duties designed primarily to pro
duce revenue without thought Of
protection and the attainment Of this
end by legislation that will not injure
any legitimate industry.
The Democrats estimate that the
annual receipts Of duties win aggre-
gate over nine hundr million under
the new law, leaving a deficit OF about
sixtyeight millions to be cared for BY
the income tax.
Defending the placing Of raw wool
on the free list. the Democrats say
they have responded to public de.
mands. Congress has the power to
raise or lower the income tax and the
Democrats point cut that by this
means they can prevent either a treas
ury deficit or surplus. They denom-
mate the income tax the fairesl and
cheapest Of all taxes.
Democratic forces in charge Of
tariff revision in the senate slightly
yielded Monday to the demands for
hearings upon tariff schedules. In
addition to the permission given all
interested parties to file statements
with the finance committee, Senator
Simmons conceded to a group Of west
ern senators the right to appear and
state their arguments against the free
wool and free sugar provisions that
have been agreed to by the Democrats
OF the house.
