Financial Panics Under Republican,
Tariff

While under discussion In the House
the Foriney Tariff bill was literally
r.didIcd by Democratic members. One
Of the most effective speeches made
ngninst II was by Representative James
e Cantril tDcm Ky) who contrasted
n t only the tariff policies Of the two
parties. hut also the results Of their
respective tariff acts. The following nre
striking extracts from his eloquent ad-
dress:
1t has always been the cry Of the
Republican party during political cam

tory Of our country will prove that tho
R:ratest financial panics came under
high.tarin laws.
The great pamics Of 1873 and 1893
came on the country when Republican
tariff bills were the law Of the land.
Our Republican friends do not In any
political campaign fail to misreprcsent
the facts II they think that by so doing
they can gain political victories. The
last presidential campaign is the most
opei evidence Of this statement In our
political history. In closing this state
mcnt I wish to emphasize further the
fundamental difference between the
Democratic and Republican parties on
the tariff issue
The Democratic party believes in
tariff for the people. while the Rcpub-
Iican party believes in tariff for cap
ital only.
The Democratic party lays tariff
burden justly and equitably distributed
and falling lightly on the shoulders Of
the people. while the Republican party
lays a burden Of taxation heavily on
the shoulders Of labor and agriculture
and gives the bounty so raised into the
pockets Of the favored manufacturer.
THE Democratic policy OF the tariff
shields the people from the exnctions OF
home monopolics and trusts, while the
Republican tariff laws offer II shelter
for monopoly and bids welcome to every
combination Of capital which would
oppress the people.
The Democratic policy on the tariff
gives every citizen an equal chance and
opportunity under our laws while the
Republican policy gives out special
privileges to the selected few.
The Democratic policy is the Amcri-
can policy Of the square deai. while the
Republican policy is un-American In
every detail and particular. / have an
abiding faith that in the next election
the American people will return to Am
erican policies and to the Democratic
ideal Of equal righs to NIL and special
privileges to none.'
The farmer and the laioring man
should never forget that the greatest
prosperity which they ever enjoyed was
under a Democratic administration.
headed by that great statesman and
patriot. Woodrow Wilson, and that the
law under which this prosperity came
was low tariff Democratic law drawn
by that illustriOus statesman of the
South, Oscar Underworld

death at the hands of a. gamekeeper
for his misdemeanor. The hogs lie

the more strange because few OF his
species have survived the English
climate. Such creatures abound on
the river banks in South America,
and, while possessing the skin and
bristles of an ordinary hedgehog, can
swim and dive like a fish, often re-
manning under water for lengthy
periods. They have long, cTiously

A number of recommendations for
changes in the milk ordinance were
reported from the state board of
health and the report was accepted.
The city attorney and the health Of
ficers were: instructed to go over the
proposed changes, and to make re-
port at the next meeting on what eff
feet these changes would have on the

until August, a proposition was Of
fered whereby the city might save
approximately $160 by issuing war
rants at the present time, these war
rants to be retired later by bond

not feel as if they wanted to make
themselves liable for the face of the

voted down, to 3. A liberal dis
count will be realized.l however, if

asked him for a pass to his home town.
Richmond could assume very terrible
aspect, and, looking as awful as he
could, he roared at the youngster,
"Why do you want q pass?" The boy
was so terrified that he forgot the
speech he had learned for the occa-
sion, and blurted out, Because I
don't want to pay" Dean Richmond
remarked that this was the first time
anyone had ever told the truth in
asking for pass, and he gave the
boy his first free ride.

Removing Ink Stains.

Pyrophosphate of soda is recon-
mended for the removal of ink stains.
This salt does not injure vegetable
fiber and yields colorless- compounds
with the Sferric oxide of. the ink. 1t
is best to first apply, tallow to the
ink spot, then wash in solution OF
pyrophosphate until both tallow and
ink have disappeared. Another formula
is to use a mixture Of four parts OF
tartar and two parts Of powdered
alum. This is not injurious to cloth.

Controllinu Dreams.

There does not seem to be much
doubt among mental specialists that
dreams can be controlled to a certain
extent. Don't have "doWny" pillows,
which cause too much heat. They
should be low, thus relieving the work
of the heart. Windows should be left
wide open. Let nervous children have
night-light. These are among the
hints given by an expert to those who
would have pleasant dreams. ..
