EDITORIAL CONMENT.
Tlx l importations ol" hay into the
United States in t lie lirst half year
under the Dingley law. as shown
by official figures of the Treasury
Department, amounted to only
$7,2(52 against 8502,840 in the cor
responding >ix months .of the pro
ceding year under the Wilson law.
The importations of wool in the
first six months of the Dingley
law's operations were a little over
half those of a single month's under
the Wilson law. The total im
portations from August 1. lsi>7, to
February 1. IS9S, under the Ding
ley law were ">1,781,070 pounds,
while those of the single month of
April, l s'.»7, under the Wilson law,
were V15,550,93.'} pounds.
The success of the farmers of
the United States, coupled with
the success of her manufacturers,
has attracted the attention of those
of other parts of the world, one of
the results being that within the
past fortnight a shipment of <5,000
tons of agricultural machinery was
made to Russia in a single day fol
lowed by an announcement that
another shipment of similar dimen
sions would follow shortly.
imports from the United States;
to' he fourteen different countries 1
which protected against the enact
ment of the Dingley law have been
$5(5.000,000 greater in the first j
half year of the Dingley law than j
in the period of the preceding year
under the Wilson law, thus dis- j
proving the claim that the enact
ment of a protective tariff would j
result disadvantageously to our |
foreign commerce.
Medical authorities and boards !
of health are expressing great anx- j
iety as to the certainty of the intro- j
duction of yellow fever into the j
country next summer in case of a |
war which would compel the |
presence of our troops in Cuba and j
close and constant communication j
with them, thus probably endang- I
ering more lives in the United
States than exist in the Island of I
Cuba.
The farmers have no occasion to j
complain of the new tariff law as
exemplified in its first six months'
operations, which show a decrease
of 20 per cent, in the importations
of articles of { 'food" and "live
animals," as compared with the
corresponding six months of last j
year under the Wilson law; while
those interested in manufactures
have equal cause for satisfaction in
the fact that the reduction in im- I
portations of manufactures under !
the new law, as compared with the
corresponding six months of last |
year under the Wilson law, has
been at about the same rate.
The Democratic leaders are!
••working" the I'opulists with their |
usual success in those sections
where they have been able to induce
them to seriously consider the j
fusion proposition. in Oregon I
they have made a complete fusion
by which they give the Populists
the < governorship and some other
State officers. shrewdly retain the
| members of Congress for themselves
' and tlieir allies, who sail under the
name of "Silver-Ilepublicans."
This is simply a part of 1 lie general
'scheme by which the Democrats
hope to obtain the co-operation of
the I'opulists and themselves get
all the advantages from a national
standpoint, leaving the I'opulists a
few crumbs of State patronage and
keeping them in a position where
they can have no influence in
national affairs.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, April 4, 1898.
The Dingley law in its first half
! year makes a good record as to its
| effect upon importations, as well
! as its earnings in the matter of
revenue. The official ligures of
; the Treasury Department covering
i the lirst six months of the Dingley
law and comparing its operations
with the corresponding six months
i of the preceding year under the
Wilson law are now for the first
j time accessible. They show, to
begin with, a falling off in the im
portation of articles produced by
the farmer. In the classification
of "articles of food and live ani
mals." the importations during the
first six months of the new law
amounted in value to $81,10(5,7-3,
while in the corresponding six
months of the preceding year under
the Wilson law the importations of
that class of articles amounted to
$104,,'300, thus showing a re
duction of more than 82.'},000,000
in this class of articles, most if not
not all of which are produced by
the farmers.
Another class of citizens who
have been equally benefitted by the
operations of the new law are those
employed in manufacturing indus
tries dependent upon manufactures.
One evidence of this is found in
the fact that the importation of
manufactured articles fell from
$90,450,(555 under the Wilson law
to $(50,540.5(54 under the Dingley
law. These figures relate, as do
those quoted above, to the first
half year's operations of the
Dingley law compared with the
corresponding six months of the
preceding year under the Wilson
law.
Thus it will be seen that while
the importation of articles of farm
production fell off $2.'},000,000, the
importation of manufactured
articles fell off over $20,000,000,
the percentage of reduction being
in each case about the same and
the two classes of citizens, the
farmers and those dependent upon
manufactures being thus benefitted
in like proportion.
Another evidence of the increas
ed activity which the new law has
brought to our own manufacturers
and their employes is evident, in
the increase in importation of raw
material under the Dingley act.
In its first six months the importa
tions of raw materials for use in i
manufacturing amounted to s!)(>,-
72.'},(525, while under the vaunted
Wilson law, whose author and sup- !
porters were especial advocates of
the "free raw material" idea, the
importations of raw material
amounted to only $79,583,617 in
the corresponding months of the
preceding year.
That the new law is operating I
especially in the interests of the |
farmers and those dependent upon j
the manufacturing industries for I
their employment is thus clearly j
shown; first, in the reduction in i
importation of articles of food and |
live animals, which fell off 20 per
cent; second, in the reduction in.
the importation of manufactured
articles which compete with home '
industries, the reduction in this !
case being about the same; third, j
in the evident increase in home in
dustries by reason of the increased j
demand for raw material for their i
use in manufacturing; fourth, in
the greater prosperity among the
producers resulting from the in
creased activity among manufac
turers, and increased earnings
among their employes, as is shown
by the general advance in prices
received by farmers for their pro
ducts.

How to Look Good.
(Jood looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If
the liver is inactive, you have a bilious
look; if your stomach is disordered,
you have a dyspeptic look; if your
kidneys are affected, you have a pinch
ed look. Secure good health and you
will surely have good looks "Elec
tric Bitters" is a good alterative and
tonic. Acts directly on the stomach,
liver and kidneys, purifies the blood,
cures pimples, blotches and boils, and
gives a good complexion. Every bottle
guaranteed. Sold at L. Taggart's drug
store. 50 cents per bottle.
The sense of work done is apparently
as satisfying to the average person as
a sense of its being well done.
A Horrible Kailroad Accident
Is a daily chronicle in our papers;
also the death of some dear friend, who
had died with consumption, whereas,
if he or she had taken Otto's Cure for
Throat and Lung diseases in time, life
would have been rendered long and
perhaps saved. Heed the warning!

the throat and lungs call at R. C. Dod

The Trouble Over.
A prominent man in town said the
other day: "My wife has been wsar

| dyspepsia, liver complaint and indi
gestion. Her case baffled the skill of
our best physicians. After using three
i packages of Beacon's. Celery King for
j the Nerves she is almost entirely well."
