TALKS ON THE TARIFF

Some Of the schedules in which
Idaho 10 interested most have al

lead an d zinc schedules. and the
others will be reached within a few
days Judging the future by the
past, l have no doubt that the
democratic majori'v will insist on
the schedules as reported in the
bills by the committee This will
mean a ten percent ad valorem duty

duty on lead: sugar upon the free
list in three years, and wool upon

mine in the state and the meager
duty reported in thebill will un-
