Government Raises Duties
from 5 to 7l2 Per Cent
and Adds to List.
STOCKS ARE HEAVY
IN LONDON MARKET
Gilt-Edged Securities Especially
Affected by Fear of Heavy
Taxation.
By FRANCIS W. HIRST.
Editor "The Economist" London


80 aA4e 70 ANf Afi'Alr
London, March 1.-The Chambers
Of Commerce in this country are
bodies in which glib speaking carries
more weight than business ability.
They have been run by protectionists
and preferentialists for nearly forty
years.
Sir Algernon Firth, who has a
prosperous business in Yorkshire,
with "A branch factory, ! believe, in
the United States, entrenched behind
your tariff wall, moved purely pro-
tectionist resolution urging that
henceforth Great Britain should re-
" on its own commercial and agri-
cultural resources. The absurdity of
this. in view Of our cotton and food
imports. was manifest and imperial
ist tariff reformers seized the oppor-
tunity of substitute , empire for
nation. thus substituting preferen-
tialist for protectionist flavor in
the resolution.
Free trade, as usual at these gath
erings. was showed under, but al
though emotionalism may prevail
now the free trade interests before
long will prove their strength.
If. for example, free trade in agri-
cultural products is maintained with
the colonies and a protective tariff
imposed on manufactured imports
the British farmer will be ruined,
for he will have to pay more for
clothing and machinery while re-
naming exposed to competition with
Canadian wheat.
A very important fiscal move has
been made for India by the Indian
government which Imperialists will
find hard to reconcile with home In
terests. The Indian government
has raised the Indian tariff, which
operates equally against Great Brit
ain and foreign countries, from to
-. per cent, and large number of
new commodities are now subjected
to small duties. Export duties on
tea and jute are fairly productive,
but the changes are estimated to
yield only two millions new revenue.
Very significant is the omission Of
cotton goods from the new import
tariff. This marks the power OF
Lancashire.
The stock market is heavy, espe-
cially gilt edged securities, which
fear heavy taxation for increased
borrowings.
Perhaps, if the Verdun onslaught
definitely fails. the German govern
ment may enter the peace market
with proposals.

After Five Years
This Testimony Remains Unshaken.

-ime is the best test of truth. Here is an interesting story that has stood the test of time. IL is a story with a point which will come straight home to many of us.
 L. A Allen, painter, S7S1 AIam- agordo St, Fl Paso, Texas, says: From some time Twas troubled by pains over my kidneys, caused by CisOltered kidneys. The trouble Vas brought on by the turpentine used in my work, affecting my kid, uays The kidney secreticns were highly colored and irregular in pas sIg. One box of Deans Kidney Fills put me in good shape"
 Statement given in July 19O9).
 Or June 6, 1915, Mir. Allen said: Whenever l feel any return symp rcms oI kidney trouble, l use DoaE'. Kidney Pills and they never .Uu oiye me prompt relief"
 PIIce soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy set Doan's Kidney Pnls-the same that MT. Allen has twice publicly recommended. Foster AIilburn Co.,, Prco,., Buffalo, N. Y.

Frank Cook, deputy U. S. mar shaI, aas been looking oyer the lay Os tue land at the court house with ayiew of putting out his summer garden. A few more days of this kind 5G weather and passeTs by wall see the marshal carrying into effect some changes which will make the court house grounds a miniature paradise.
 The grass plot in the rear will be IeyeIed eff and a croquet field will be installed. Mr. cook takes a presouaI pride in the keeping of the grounds in, excellent shape. This he hopes will give forth pleasing atmosphere and afford amusement to the people of skag- way
 Flowers are to bo planted around the building and in every available plot of ground not d. ready in use. A plot of ground in the rear will be cultivated and sowcd with garden seeds. Mr.. Cook says that he can raise the finest table plants on the market on this section of land.

A GOOD YIELD OF PEAS.

Last week Bert Schnell who resides
out on the point finished threshing
his Canadian field peas, not including
those that were split, from five acres.
The crop was innocuated with bacteria
furnished by the experiment station at
Moscow at cost of 10 cents per acre.
They were seeded May 5. Field peas
are going to be planted more on the
prairie in the future, and the exception
al success of Mr.. Schnell is interesting.
Last year he had splendid crop of
peas and disposed of all he had for seed
in a short time. The yield YVES so
bushels per acre this year.
Bert also finished threshing his wheat
and got 5525 bushels of No. ] wheat,
which averaged A bushels per acre
Bert is one of the most enterprising
farmers on the prairie and his crops
are among the best raised every year.

CAR OF HORSES FOR FRANCE.
Grangeville Boy Says he is Going to tina
Front With Them.

A ear of artillery horses, purchased
for the French government by M. L.
Marx of Omaha, who has been receiv-
ing at the Smith Livery barn, was
shipped east Tuesday morning. The
shipment was accompanied by Elmer
Rape, the seventeen year old son of
Walter Rape. The lad will go through
to New York with the animals and has
also expressed determination to cross
the ocean and go on to France and the
war front. Young Rape is a nervey
little fellow and if he has fully deter
mined to go to the front will in all
probabilities carry out his desires. The
trip to New York is not bad, there be.
ing but four unloading and feeding
stops between Grangeville and Omaha
where the animals are sent on east by
express, reaching New York in thirty
six hours. But the ocean trip and on to
the front in France is a little beyond
the desires of most of us.
