The Fatal valuation
of New Tariff Bill

The american valuation" provision
OF the Fordney tariff is obnoxious be-
cause It is a subterfuge. IT Is an eff
| fort to conceal an increase of duties
| II Mr.. Fordney wishes to make a duty
100 per cent instead Of 60 let him pun
1t in plain figures instead OF making
the duty SO per cent and doubling the
sum on which 1t IL to be computed.
1t is obnoxious because 1t will in
crease duties beyond all reason and
Justification. The increased duties will
Increase the cost Of living and vii. ex-
clude imports This will cut Off reve-
nue. and restriction of imports will In
turn restrict exports. Exports are alb
solutely necessary TO keep our fac
tories busy, and foreigners cannot buy
of us unless they can sell to us.
1t is obnoxious because the basis
cannot DO established with any ac-
curacy. Domestic prices vary from
time to time and in different locali-
ties The Custom House will have TO
tabulate great many prices and get
at an average. and an average must
be wrong at many times and places.
II is obnoxious because the importer
cannot tell what duty he will have to
pay, and until he knows that he can
not fix his. selling prices. The invoice
shows what he paid for his foreign
goods. II that differs materially from
the prices in the open market It is not
lifficurt to ascertain the. fact. The
importer knows the penalties for I'M
LIBERALIZATION, and unless he is delib-
nrately trying to cheat the Govern
ment he avoids It. Under the "Ameri-
ian valuation" plan he cannot know
what the duty win be until he has en-
tered the goods at the Custom House
and the appraisers have decided in
their own way what the value of the
goods here is.
II is obnoxious because the duty is
progressive. The duty added to the
foreign price becomes a new domestic
price, and the 40 per cent or 100 per
cent or whatever 1t may be, becomes
new basis Tor the imposition Of the
duty. Take a foreign article worth 81
and subject to duty of so per cent.

Inatead q lamenting and grumblIng

Instead Of lamenting and grumbling
about the Illicit liquor traffic the peo-
pie who voted it out should be active
in having the laws enforced. Also, they
should help to secure the enactment Of
laws to cure the defects that have been
found in the statutes after the numer-
GUS tests that have been made. De-
cisions of the higher courts annul
many laws and change many others
SO as to leave them Intellectual. Let not
the law-loving citizens give up the
fight or lag in their duty, The big
battle has been won but there are
smaller. ones on hands and ahead OF US
to complete the victory. Let all dry
men and women assert themselves and
the traffic will be stamped out. Public
sentiment can suppress any move
ment or any set of outlaws.

He Found Buying
AT Home Was The
Best After All!

j. Al. Bright, a garage man and au-
tomobile tire dealer of Keyser, w. Va.
tells a pretty interesting little story
which he calls IAN Example OF Retail
Mail Order Dealing" Bright's story
should be interesting to Wayne coun-
ty merchants and the buying public
also. IT'S this:
Down in a certain town the other
day a man went into store to buy an
automobile tube. He saw the kind he
wanted and asked the price. It was
$500, the dealer said.
Good gracious" said the man, Il
can get the same thing from a mail
order house for s2.S2."
THAT'S less than it costs me- said
the dealer, but I'll sell 1t on the same
terms as the mail-order house just the
same"
alright" said the customer, You
can send 1t along and charge 1t to my
account"
mot on your life," the dealer re-
piled. mo charge accounts. You can't
do business with the mail-order house
that way. Fork over the cash."
The customer handed over the cash.
Now two cents for postage and five
cents for the money order"
what"
Certainly you have to send letter
and a money order to the mail-order
house. you know"
The customer. inwardly ravfng, kept
to his agreement and paid the seven
cents.
Now thirty five cents expressage."
well. I'll be-" he said, but paid 1t
saying: Now hand me that tube and
I'll take it home for myself and be rid
Of this foolery."
Hand it to you? Where do you
think you are? You're not in Chicago,
and you'll have to wait a week for that
tube"
whereupon he placed the tube on
the shelf and put the money in his
cash drawer.
THAT makes s326, he said. 1T has
cost you six cents more and taken you
q week longer to get 1t than II you had
paid my price in the first place"

climbed among the bearded mountains,

stopped and looked. And then he
went little nearer. And almost be-

cup turned bright yellow and he cried
out in amazement and fear. Then he
saw that his hands were yellow, too.
And he knew that he could not bear
the great message.
SO he stayed In the mountains with
the yellow things, which were grains
of gold. And ever since then he will
forget n great message ut times when
he sees the yellow gold in the earth.

According to sworn statements and
