At Beattia Wi second-class matter | Re OOS NO JUST A PEEP AT THE TARIFF BILL Collier's Weekly has done a great public service in going] Over the history of former tariff legislation | Tt is well for the public to know that the tariff bills that are reported and made public are not the real bills. The real tariff laws are written behind the closed doors of committee rooms. You, gentle reader, may or may not have a representative in those conferences, but you can bet your bot tom dollar that the other fellow has. This, from Collier's, shows how the thing worked when the| last tariff law was made When the Dingley tariff bill was pending which all of us have for 12 years paid exorbitant prices for our} woolen cloths—the clerk to the senate committee on finance was S. N. D. North, at present filling the highly responsible po sition of director of the census. North was at the time a sal aried employe of the Nationa! Association of Wool Manufac turers. The senate committee on finance is the one that writes tariff bills. Aldrich of Rhode Island was it, The clerk of that committee occupies a most potent strat- egic position Between North, the clerk of the sefate committee, and Wm Whitman, president of the Arlington woolen mills at Lawrence, Mass., the following letters, among others, passed: First, North to Whitman “Washington, June 20, 1897. the bill under and is—chairman of SAYS: CHICAGO, March out of temptation.

He received | $5,000 for his services. The wool manufacturers got tariff du-| ties on some of their products as high as 150 per cent. The peo-| ple paid the freight. EEE anEnE EERE?

SSeS ee So And when Jacob saw the haste with which the rulers obeyed his commands, he was exceedingly glad. and he called together hia hench- men and they made merry. But the people of the city were angry and made protest to the rulers, and their protest was without avail Petitions were sent to the rulers, asking that Jacob be required to give service over his cartage syatem sufficient to meet the needs of the people, and that no new laws be made for the benefit of Jacob without proper restrictions. But the rulers listened not to the voice of the people. And the people gathered together in public places and discussed the attitude of the rulers, saying one to another: “The elty is ruled by Jacob in the interest of his cartage system, and our word is held as nothing by those we have elected to govern the city. Everything he asks is given him, and when the present rulers re- tire Jacob will have everything required to perpetuate and make exctu- sive bis cartage system, even unto the third and fourth generations.” And there was one among the rulers who had been a high priest, and when he was chided by the people for obeying the commands of Jagob he spake unto them, saying: “In it not said in the Scriptures; ‘Unto him that hath shall be od tina him that hath not shall be taken away even that which A A TD A Quick Shite, Choleric Old Genth that fool boy of mine Young Woman (Fr: LOTS BASIER, | bby rushed out to meet his father the other night a# he was re- ing from work, and said, breath- aries you— ng her iovely Mr. Scadiey? eyes to bin)-— Well, ) pape, I won't have to study) “Choleric Old Gentioman.—lr-well, ly 86 hard @t gehoo! any more”) dash him, J can't blame the boy.— mm, Robby had been doing Chicago Tribune. weil, and b: —o father waa pie of the new inter hi flor better things. wis that, my son?” said he A He .

Trees may be oak, beech, chestaut or elm, but they are always popular. They make excellent fire, especially when made into some novels Trees are brown and green, but when made into paper are generally yollow. This ls when they bark loudest.
