WILLIAM BURGESS
Member u. 8. Tariff Comaissioa

Mr.. Burgess disputes estimates Of
increased selling prices of commodi-
ties which the Women's Consumers
Committee recently declared would
result from application Of the pro-
visions of the Fordney tariff bill.
The increases were estimated At
from 900 for wooden dress goods to
1000 for women's cotton gloves. He
says: Taking their own figures rs
a basis and applying the rates of the
Fordney bill, we find that the only
additional cost to the retailer would
be the additional amount of duty re-
quired under the Fordney bill, be-
cause all other costs and overhead
charges remain the same"
The question, Mr.. Burgess con-
cludes, is simply whether curta.ns
duties shall continue to lie assc.sed
upon the foreign market value of
goods or upon the value in the
United States, and asks whether it
is easier to obtain information upon
their value from over ITO different
foreign countries of expectation,
with no legal power to ecure such
values, than it is to get this informa-
ton in America with the full power
Of the Government to compel such
information.

FINDER the American valuation
~ plan, as proposed In the Ford
ney Tariff bill, an equalizina
effect upon the commerce of the
United States with all nations with
which We trade would be one of the
first and most desirable results, ac-
cording to William Burgess, member
of the United States Tariff Com
mission.
A similar article sold in Japan At
so cents, in Germany at so cents, in
England for 81, under the present
foreign valuation plan means, at .
tariff rate of 50 per cent, that Japan
would have to pay Is cents in duty,
Germany 80 cents and England 50
cents. Under the proposed American
valuation, Mr.. Burgess points out
that the importation of this article
would cause each of the exporting
countries to pay exactly the same
amount Of duty, regardless of cost
of production.
Thus, he shows, the present dis
elimination in favor of low-cost
countries would be removed. This
also would result in helping our
debtor nations to pay their debts to
US. Our debtor nations r Great
Britain, France and Italy.
How are we going to help these
nations to pay their debts by charg-
ing them a greater amount of duty
than we charge Germany and Japan?'
Mi. Burgess asks.
Certain large importing houses and
dealers making greater profits on i'm
ported merchandise than they think
they can make on domestic goods.
are the real opponents of the Ameri-
can valuation plan, the tariff expert
declares.
He answers the argument that
American manufacturers could raise
their prices SO as to compel importers
to pay a higher amount Of duty by
citing the following example:
Assuming a foreign article to be
worth 20 cents and the American
article is selling at 81, it would re-
Quire 500 Of the American selling
price to equalize the difference be-
tween the foreign and domestic val
ues. Now, if the American manu-
facturer raises his price to SIPS,
3Oes duty on this value would be
37H cents, the foreign value remain
ing at 20 cents, the landed cost would
be 20 cents plus STA cents, which
gives the foreign article the advan-
tage Of 1877 cents in this market
The American valuation plan places
an automatic check on American
manufacturers doing this very thing

In the later months Of the hurricane
season.
A record of all the West India hurrf-

Only one Of these. 1885, was marked
by a greater than average number Of

BOUT WIN ELEPHANT
J. MoreWeed SooWsett - Surprised
When Die oeaet Turns and Rune
Away After Downing and
Trying to Trample Him

LOnd0n.-A good elephant yarn Is
told by J. Morewood Dowsett, a we'll
known big game hunter, who has just
returned from a hunting trip in South
Africa.
He was hunting elephants in Ugan-
da when information was brought him
Ut the whereabouts Of \ large herd.
With a native chief and q house boy,
he started to find them. The party
came upon the herd In the forest.
Mr.. Dowsett got several photographs
within 20 yards Of the beasts when
he chief warned him that they had
been SCENTED" and that the animals
were coming for them. Snatching up
his rife Mr.. Dowsett shot and killed
the leader, q big bull.
While ZONE surrounded their leader
many Of the beasts stampeded, and,
running the wrong way, Mr.. Dowsett
was cut or from the party. Reload
ing his gun, the hunter dashed on for
safety and ran into a big bull ele-
plant which crashed through the bush
SIX yards in front Of him.
Trunk aloft. ears extended and
~trumpeting wildly. the beast rushed
at Mr.. Dowsett and swept him to the
ground with his trunk and turned rap
idly In it's own length ready to tram
pie him.
The hunter took q flying dive under
the monsters belly, realizing he would
then be on the right side Of the wind,
but the beast turned rapidly round and
again tried to trample him. Instead
the animal rolled him over and over
with ito legs and the hunter saw above
him the two great tusks as the beast
tried to his body into posi-
ton and pick him up. Mr.. Dowsett
managed to roll behind the animal and
get to his feet and make a rush for
cover. To the hunters relief and sur
prise the furious beast set OF in the
opposite direction and disappeared.

IL opposed by good engineers, who in
sist that money spent at that seaso
is largely wasted. They hold that
work should be done In the fall and
winter, when the ground Is in better
condition and when foundations can
be laid with greater permanence.
They also criticize the skinny manner
In which foundations are laid, pointing
out that subsequent repair bills make

We call nerves"
To all such sufferers, says the Daily
Mail, Sir Hugh Allen spoke when, as
director Of the Royal College Of Music.
he addressed the students Of the col
lege at the opening Of the new term.
He was speaking mainly to those who
are or will become public performers
Of music-but his words apply to
everybody.
1T is not much t. say" he de-
clared, that nerves are. the most
needed ingredient In the performers
outlt, and that nervousness has brought
Distress IL not disaster to countless
musicians. Nerve and nervous are
words which have the most diverse
meaning In Y language. We speak
Of nerve a. Of something strong. vigor-
Gus, A. courage and boldness and
assurance, and Of nerves a. Z dis

by nerves we mean that miserable

Beyond the need for obtaining their.

Sir Hugh advises the nervous ito cult

which becomes absorbing, which means
that our minds are taken up with what
