LITTLE CHANCE
OF AMENDMENT 7
SENATOR GRONNA'S VIEWS ON
PENDING TARIFF BILL.
EAST AROUSED.

U. S. Senator German is spending
few days in the state. He visited
Williston, N. D., to attend me :tins
of the Commercial club, a. .'hich the
question of securing 20 North Dakota
the benefits accruing under the en-
larged homestead act was consid-
cred. A bill providing that North
Dakota should have the benefits of
the 32O-acre homestead act was
passed about year ago, being in
troduced by Senator Gronna, but up
to this time the secretary of the III
terror has refused to designate. any
land for entry under the act.
As to Tariff Legislation.
Senator Gronna says he sees little
hope for any radical amendments by
the senate of the Democratic tariff
bill, and he believes that it will be
passed substantially the same as it
was passed by the house.
''The bill," said Senator Gronna,
"seems to favor the southern states.
in that the industries of that section
are protected to better advantage
than are those of the northern states.
while two senator's have stated
that they would vote against the
bill, it is regarded as quite possible
that one or two Republicans will vote
for it.
There never has been time when
I have received so many letters on
any question as have on this tariff
bill. These letters come from man
ufacturers and labor organizations,
and they are all in protest against
the various features.
The Beef Industry.
''Some features of the act are not
scientifically drawn, that being par
ticularly true with reference to the
free wool situation.
The beef industry under the bill
fears the competition Of Argentine

ten briefly his views regarding the
passage of the tariff bill in the house,
to friends in North Dakota. After
the bill passed the house on May s,
unchanged, it came to the senate for
consideration by that body. The bill
is meeting with opposition in the
bers have so far declined to give any
public hearings. Protests against
the bill are becoming so intense,
however, that the Democratic men,
bers are having some misgivings as
to the propriety of refusing public
hearings for the bill. Speaking of
the effect of the tariff bill, should it
pass the senate as it passed the house
Senator McCumber says:
Il am willing as Republican to
concede that the result of this tariff
bill will be to reduce to some eX-
tent the cost of living. l am equal
ly certain that whenever it will re-
duce the purchasing price of the nee
essaries of life one dollar, it will re-
duce the consumers ability to pay
that price IS. AS you understand,
the ad valorem tariff is always levied
upon the original cost or value of an
article before it passes through the
hands of the commission man, whole
saler, retailer, etc., and that our pro-
ducts before reaching the ultimate
consumer require so many landings,
transfers and expenses that the man
ufacturer's price and the consumers
price are very distantly related.
Therefore the protection afforded the
manufacturer or producer, while it
enables him to keep his plant or
business in operation, to pay labor
ers, etc., it does not materially af-
feet the general retail price of the
article purchased.
Now, by reducing the tariff you
do not in any way reduce the cost of
that which makes the principal re-
tail price of the article, the cost of
distribution or transfer from manu-
facturer to consumer. But you do
destroy in many cases the profits of
the producer and cripple the ability
of the millions of people dependent
upon the market price of the pro-
ducts made by them to purchase the
necessities, the comforts or the lux
uries of life.
'The price of a great many COM
modities has already gone down, al
though no tariff bill is as yet en-
acted. 1t became evident during all
of last fall that the party which
stands for protection, on account of
differences in it's own ranks, was
bound to go down to defeat. The
knowledge began to have it's effect
upon the public mind, and a system
of gradually Withdrawing credits,
ETC., had it's natural effect upon the
value of commodities. While there
has been no particular decrease in
the price Of anything the farmer is
compelled to purchase in the north
west, there has been marked de-
crease in the value of commodities
in the east, due to this uncertain re-
striction of credit.
But while the farmer may be able
in some parts of the country to pur-
chase some articles trife cheaper
than he could a year ago, the pro-
duct which he must sell or trade for

WHY DuRuM IS HIGHER
Than NO. | NORTHERN
SITUATION AS TO PRICES NOW
REVERSED.

A correspondent and miller, dis
cussing the question of durum wheat
and macaroni, writes as follows:
''The home consumption Of maca-
roni wheat at the present time is
comparatively insignificant as COM
pared with the quantity grown. This
is due to the fact that number of
macaroni factories are using mix
lures of other wheats simply because
the pure durum products are little
higher in price than flours from the
true macaroni wheat. Some facto-
ries are not only using cheap flours
for mixing, but are using it alto
gether, and thus are producing an in
ferior macaroni and injuring the bus
mess.
"Why is durum wheat selling to-
day at higher price than No. North
ern Bluestem or Fife? 1t is this:
The foreign demand for durum wheat
has been so great during the last
years, and the shortage in our own
crop of a year ago, and the supply
has been so limited that this foreign
demand now takes more than we can
market, and the result is the con-
slant bidding up of the price until it
has reached considerable premium
over the best grades of spring wheat.
This foreign demand is for the pur-
pose of obtaining raw material of the
best quality for the manufacture of
macaroni.
''It is reported that the importa-
ton of macaroni to this country is
something like 1OO,O0O,OOO pounds
annually. Whether it is as high as
this am not sure, but whatever the
figure, the importation is compare
lively insignificant when compared
with the amount of macaroni wheat
grown, which will run anywhere, for
different seasons, from 2O,OOO,0OO
bushels to 6O,O00,OOO, according to
crop conditions. Why should we ship
this wheat to Europe and return it
again in the form of macaron1? Why
should our own manufacturers be
permitted to use the cheapest soft
wheat fours and not pure durum or
macaroni wheat flour and semolina
for these products? Why does not
our pure food law compel them to
truthfully label their products?
''It is simply absurd that Durum
wheat can be raised in the Dakotas,
shipped to Italy, manufactured into
macaroni, shipped back to this coun-
try and distributed throughout the
United States as cheaply as could the
same product be milled and pre-
pared as macaroni in our own coun-
try. It is said that it is because Of
the cheap labor in Europe, but I take
no stock in this, for the freight
charges, selling charges, etc., would
certainly eat up more than any posi-
BILE difference in labor. In my opin-
ion it is because the imported goods
brought here are of high quality;
and will continue to be brought in
as long as our American manufac-
turers insist upon using cheap and
inferior -four in the manufacture Of
their products.
"Our macaroni wheat contains the
qualities that will make q macaroni
that no other wheat will produce,
and it is my opinion that If the mac
aroni manufacturers Of this country
would stick to that product and put
nothing but the highest grade pro-
ducts on the market. they would kill
ell chances for the importation Of
macaroni."

For Flower Shows.
om the Cleveland Leader

FROM the cleveland LeaueI
The decision of few rich men. mucn
interested in flowers. to build In wade
Park, at their own expense, a fine ediilce
for floral exhibitions, is one of the most
noteworthy steps yet taken in the de-
velopment of Cleveland park and boule-
ward system. 1t means a civic gam OF
no ordinary Importance.
The influence of the exhibitions to he
held in the proposed floral hall or hortl-
cultural building will be a great sumulus
to the cultivation and use or mowers LOT
private purposes. In that way it Will add
much to the charm and beauty OF the
city 1t will also be mental and moral
year, because it will acouaint them with
much they have neglected or lacked OPP
portunity to learn about the exquisite
forms and colors of flowers and plants.
This great addition to the equipment
of the public pleasure grounds or the
sixth city will afford pure joy and I'M
alloyed benefits. Some persons dislike
geological gardens because or noises and
odorS connected with them. Others are
Indifferent to the games and sports which
flourish in parks But is there any man
or woman who can find the slightest OBJ
lection to a beautiful building filled with
flowers? Is there any drawback to such
exhibitions of the loveliest creations of
nature?
Other cities have found such horti-
cultural building as Cleveland is to have
a source of great pleasure and manifold
advantages. Here it will be equally popu-
lar and 10 less beneficial I'm every sense.

Old-Time Coffee Drinking.

From the London Chronicle.
Coffee, like tea, was from an early date
welcomed as rival to alcoholic liquors.
Writing in 1869, shortly after its intro
duction into England, Howell makes the
comment that this coffa-drink hath
caused great sobriety amongst all ma
tons: formerly clerks, apprentices, ETC.,
used to take their morning draughts in
ale, beer or wine, which often made
them unfit for business. Now they play

Sergeant Dalrymple and Two Sub
ordinates Not Likely to Lose

To be ION the front door, of the execu-
tive offices at the White House is the
most coveted police assignment It Is
much of a fixed post and the men on
the post hold it down, year in and year
out, whoever may be President. So their
less favored associates on the force may
feel envious, but opportunities to super
cede the incumbents are happenings of
once in decade.
The front door is guarded during the
day by two privates and a sergeant. The
sergeant comes on duty early in the
morning and remains until the force OF
the executive Office goes home. The two
subordinate alternate in the early and
late tricks. one coming before the SER
geant arrives, and being relieved in the
; middle of the day by the man who must
stay until after dark.
The sergeant has been stationed at the
White House for over fifteen years. One
of the privates got his assignment eleven
years ago. and his companion has had the
post for eight years.

Sergt. c. L. Dalrymple-he ranks as
desk seEgeant-is remarkable for the
number of men he knows by sight and
name. He has a most retentive memory.
His brand of courtesy is Chesterfieldian
he is anxious to satisfy every inquiry,
give every aid to the visitor to accom-
plish the end he seeks, and goes out Of
his way to please and accommodate.
The executive offices are sometimes the
scene chosen for disorder by men with a
grudge to exploit. or with an insane idea
of some sort Sergt. Dalrymple has dealt
with such instances for many yearS-and
/ it is not violence with which he meets the
situa ton
The person who insists on seeing some
one who is not to be seen is allowed. as
long as he or she IS unobtrusve, to sit
in the anteroom until their persistence
wears out and they are ready to move on.
Where insistence, becomes of the belg-
erent sort. the diSturber Is coaxed TO the
door on some sufficient pretext and per-
suaded to go about his business. The
crank is treated in much the same way.

| private in those uays-was assigned to
/ the White House in 1888. when Mckinley
was President. He performed duty on
