THE NEW TARIFF

There has been passed by the house
and now ready for debate in the SEN
ate, a tariff bill. There were diff
culties in arranging = revenue bill,
but they were Insignificant when
compared to those which are met in
framing, tariff measure. It is a
comparatively easy task to remove
and reduce duties and draw a bill
merely for the purpose Of revenue;
one which will provide protection and
increase revenue is quite another
matter. We are living under pre-
war tariff modified by the Emergency
Tariff Heretofore there have been
certain fixed standards, which could
be approximately ascertained, Of cost
prod uction abroad and cost produc-
ton at home. The difference be-
tween these two measured in fairly
accurate degree the protective needs
of each industry. Foreign exchange
has heretofore varied but a trifling
amount. No one knows at the pres
ent time what represents either do
nestle or foreign cost of production.
No one knows what the rate of ex-
change will be. The uncertainty has
required painstaking Investigations to
see if a flexible tariff could not be
provided which might have system
of administration that could be ad-
justed to meet changing conditions.
Heretofore import duties have been
determined in accodance with the
foreign value Of merchandise. AS
the rate of exchange and unsettled
conditions tend to make that now
almost fictitious, an attempt has been
made to provide for rates Of duty in
accordance with American valuations.
This means the fair market value of
the merchandise in our own markets.
This is the principle adopted by
most other countries. Both these
systems are being worked out, COM
pared and considered and that which
appears to be the best will be pre-
scented to the senate for adoption.
The drafting of bill of this kind
requires a study and comprehension
of the facts relative to almost every
industry in the United States. 1t is
doubtful if any measure was ever
presented to the congress which was
the result of so much painstaking ef-
fort and care. There is back of it
not only the facts and arguments
assembled by the tariff commission
as the result of intense investigation
permanently engaged in, but the TAX
ing of evidence and months of DELHI
Grafton representing many hours
each day of the committee of the
house and senate assisted by the ex-
pert knowledge of the treasury de-
partment and the best judgment and
information Of those engaged in pro-
ductive enterprise. There has been no
delay of action, but there has been
continuing determination to present
the best tariff bill which industry
and intelligence could devise.

ry there is not a township in the
Union in which there is not some
one who can repeat words from the
most celebrated of all the leaders of
the London Times. "Scarcely an
American man-of-war," said the
Thunderer, that cannot boast of
victory yer the British flag Hardly
a British man-ofwar that can boast
of triumph over an American. We
have retired from the conflict with
the stripes bleeding on our backs.
In the name of Heaven what was
done with all this great superiority
Of force?'
With all the blood and money we
lost in the war of 1912, with all our
failures to the North, with our blaz-
ing capital and our financial collapses
this was the record of the navy.
Scarcely was the war with Great Bri-
tain ended before our seamen were
on their way to Algiers. Parleying
and ransoming were over, this time
it was the pleasure of the eagle to
scream until the Dey crawled in the
dust and obeye@ the mandate of the
man who had gone into Tripoli Har.
Dor and burned the frigate. The Dey
whined for tribute and learned
that all that was past. Could he
only have little powder? IF you
insist on having POWDER said De-
catur, "you must have the balls with

in the dockyards of Portsmouth and
Plymouth.

who know all this, and one can hard

effect produced on the British mind.
When Jackson marched into Florida,
doing what he listed, stamping on
the necks Of Great Britain's Spanish
allies, and sending a British subject
to the gallows for his dealings with
the Indians, the lion waxed wroth.
The lion was exceedingly irate. But
the British seamen did not want to
fight. They had gone forth to win
pennants and prize money from the
Dons and the Monsieurs, and
were ready to 60 again. 1t
was differenfft matter to
face that murderous fire that had
driven crew after crew of Britons
into panic. The fearful broadsides
of Americans had worked such havoc
with British morale that the reports
Of captains were kept under lock
and key.
Monroe's predecessors knew that
the press gang seized Americans on
our own forecastles and that the
Moors held them in slavery, Monroe
knew how the world respected
the navy, small though it was,
which had saved our lakes
and made the Dey grovel in
the dust. Less than six years had
passed between the British attack
ON the helpless Chesapeake, and the
surrender of three British frigates.

CHAPTER XII.

On board the Maggie II B. McGuffey,
Esquire, had just gotten into position
the Maxim-Vickers "pom-pom" gun on
top Of the house. The last bolt that
held it In place had just been screwed
tight when clear and shrill over the
tops of the jungle and across the still
surface Of the little bay there floated
to McGuffey's ears the single word:
"Help"
McGuffey leaned against the gun,
and for the moment he was as weak
as child. "Gawd," he muttered,
"that was Scraggsy and they're a-goin'
to eat him up. Oh, Glib, Glib, old man,
why wouldn't you listen to me? Now
they've got you, and what In blazes
Pm going to do to get you back, dead
or alive, l dunno"
1t was fully half an hour before poor
McGuffey could pull himself together

DIDN'T YIELD TO TREATMENT
But Young Physcian's Concern Over
Patients Eye Was Really
Wholly Unnecessary.

From one of the larger hospitals In
Kansas City comes the story (guar-
anteed under the foods and drugs
act) Of u young doctor and an equally
young and well-trained nurse. who
collaborated In the conscientious
treatment of the left eye of patient
who had been sent to the hospital for
an operation.
1t is said that, following the opera
tion, the pupil of the patients left eye
failed to dilate In accordance to In
structions in the book, and the young
physician became somewhat con-
cerned. AS to just why the pupil was
expected to grow larger at the time
Is not known to the layman, but the
fact remains that the doctor prescribed
an eye bath and instructed the at
tending nurse to apply 1t every halt
hour throughout the night. After the
eye had been bathed, the lid was
pulled down and massaged thoroughly
And so, every half hour, the nurse
carried out the doctors Instructions
When daylight came bandage was
placed over the optic to protect II
from the strong rays Of the morning
light.
At nine O'clock the young doctor en-
tered the patients room and asked
the man how his eye felt.
"Well," he replied, 'it feels MS good
as It has for long while. You see, Il
has been n glass eye ever since l was
| five years Old."-Kansas City Times.

The OriqlnaI Of "She."

One of the quaintest sights ever seen
in London salesroom was witnessed
a few weeks ago when the collection
Of Oriental antiques gathered by the
late Lord Amherst was put up for
sale. There were hundreds of Egyp-
tan gods. Seated cats. with rings in
their back and scarabs engraved upon
their foreheads, hawks and geese had
their place among the deities. There
was also very fine sepulchral figure
Of woman in mummy form" In
sycamore wood painted white with
eyes in black, described as "a mummy
with pleasing countenance." This
woman was named "She" as being
the original Of Sir Rider Haggard's
heroine. Mummified birds, fish, cats,
and calves were offered. An Egyp-
tian womans toilet articles, thousands
of years old. were also offered and
many other similar things.

Hindu Barber Kept Busy.

The Hindu huircutter is an individ-
ual of immense Importance in India,
and as his duties are many, he Is
in constant demand. At birth the
Hindu barber Is the man employed to
carry the eventful news to the various
family relatives. whilst at funeral
he shaves the heads of the living
and the dead.
The Hindu hnircutter has no shop,
and, unlike our BARRIERS, he displays
no poles, signs or symbols. He can
be seen strolllng along near the ba-
zars with small bundle under his
arm or carrying little bag.
At all religious rites he is to be
observed; he bores the girls ears
and noses for the various rings which
are worn and. in fact, the busy Hindu
barber will undertake almost any
surgical operation.
Besides births and deaths. he at
tends marriages. At a wedding this
busy barber Is best man."

"And l." added the commodore,

McGuffey. "What are they now? Sky

dore. "if a tiger shark happens along
and picks the niggers up, 1t amt none
of our business. AS for me and
Scraggsy, Wen sit on deck and smoke.

"but keep her workln' for all she's

they came alongside. McGuffey met
them at the rail. and he smiled and
licked his lower lip as the trembling
monarch and his prime minister, In re-
sponse to severe application of Mr..
Gibney's hands and feet, came flying
over the rail. Mr.. Gibney and Captain
Scraggs followed.
"I'm much obliged to you. Mac" said
Mr.. Gibney, striving brayely to appear
jaunty. "One of your first shots came
between my legs and cut the rope that
held me, and banged me and the post
was tied to all over the lot. A frag-
ment Of the shell appears to have
taken away part of my ear, but

At 6 80 o'clock of the morning Of
the day following the frightful expert
ence of Commodore Gibney and Cap
tain Scraggs with the cannibals of
Kandavu, the members of the Maggie
III syndicate faced each other across
the breakfast table with appetltes in
no wise diminished by the exciting
events of the preceding day.
McGuffey surveyed his superior off,
GERS, cursed them bitterly, and re-
marked, with tears of joy In his hon.
est eyes, that both gentlemen had
evaded their just deserts when they
escaped with their lives. "If it hadn't
been for the mate" said McGuffey Sc.
verely, "Id a let you two boobies suf

around McGuffey on his way to tn,

ward the little group around the out
ragged royal ambassador, and inquired
the cause Of the disturbance. CULVER
ing with rage, Tabu-Tabu informed
him Of what had occurred.
MIR. Gibney's rage. Of course, knew
no bounds. Nevertheless, he did not
have to simulate his rage, for he was
truly furious. When he could control
his emotions, he requested Tabu-Tabu
to inform the king that he, Gibney, &C.
companied by Captain Scraggs, would
forthwith repair to the schooner and
then and there fay the offending Nc
Guffey within an inch Of his life. Suit
ing the action to the word, Mr.. Gibney
called to Captain Scraggs to follow
him, and started for the beach.
AS Captain Scraggs arose, a trlfle
unsteadily, from his seat a black hand
reached around him from the rear and
closed over his mouth. Now. Captain
Scraggs was well versed in the rough
and-tumble tactics of the San Fran
cisco waterfront; hence, when he felt
long pair Of arms crossing over his
neck from the rear, he merely stopped
and whirled his opponent over his
head. In that instant his mouth was
free, and clear above the shouting and
the tumult rose his frenzied shrek for
help. Mr.. Gibney whlrled with the
speed and agility Of panther just In
time to dodge blow from war club
His fist collided with the jaw Of Tabu.
Tabu, and down went that savage as
II pole-axed.
Pandemonium broke loose at once
Captain Scraggs, after his single SHREK
for help. broke from the circle Of saw
ages and fled Ike frightened rabbit
for the beach. One Of the natives
hurled rock at him. The missile tool
Scraggs in the back Of the head, ant
he instantly curled up in heap.
"Scraggsy's dead" thought the hor
rifed Gibney, and sprang at the king
In that moment it came to Mr.. Chine,
to sell out dearly, and If he could dis
pose of the king, he felt that Scraggs
death would be avenged. In an instnn
the commodores great arms hat
closed around the king, and with th'
helpless monarch in his grizzly bea
grip Mr.. Gibney backed up against th'
nearest bungalow. A fringe Of spear
threatened him in front, but for tn
moment he was safe behind, and tn
kings body protected him. Wheneve
one of the savages made jab at MI
Glbney, Mr.. Gibney gave the king
boa-constrictor squeeze, and the mon
arch howled.
"I'll squeeze him to death,' pante
Mr.. Gibney to Tabu-Tabu when tha
Individual had managed to pick him
self up. LET me 60, or I'll kill you
king"
The answer was an earthenware pc
which crashed down on Mr.. Gibney'
head from window In the bungalo,
behind him. He sagged forward an
fell on his face with the gasping kin
In his arms.

and when he did. his grief was super
seded by a fit Of rage that was ter
rible to behold.
"Step lively, you blasted scum of
the seas" he bawled to the mate, and
the crew gathered around the gun.

we'll shell that bush until even q par
rot won't be left alive in it."

to a man, and sprang to their task.
