TALK DELAYS
TARIFF BILL
Review of Business Conditions
Shows Uncertainty as to Pas
sage of Measure Is Ob
stacleto Recovery
ATTACKS FROM WESTEKERS
Senator Cummins Indulget In Radical
Language and Threaten! Other
Speeches Vote on Lead Amend
ment Shows Pasoage of Bill Before
July Is Possible.
There Is every reason for believing
that with the prompt enactment of a
new tariff bill there would at once fol
low a full restoration of normal Indus
trial and mercantile activity. One of
the country's big commercial agencle
In its review of the situation as pre
sented during the week ending Satur
day, May 8. states positively and
squarely that tariff revision Is liter
ally the last obstacle to the accom
plishing of such a condition.
In support of this optimistic claim
significant figures are quoted: Bank
clearings outside of New York are
15.9 por cent, better than they were
during the same period last year and
24.5 per cent better than in 1906, and
in New York they are 24.1 per cent
larger than In 1908 and 1.3 per cent
larger thnu in 1906. Railroad earn
ings for April show a gain of 13.9 per
cent over 1H08, and only 10.3 per cent
decrease, as compared with the ban
ner year, 1907. Immigration is 212.
000 larger than last year. Import
are much greater than they were in
1908 and nearly equal to hose of
1907. In the Iron and steel trado
there Is a distinct gnln both in orders
and In prices, and in copper there is
a hardening tendency. New works ot
construction are going rapidly for
ward and in almost all other fields fa
vorable developments are reported.
Meanwhile the effect of the long
wait on the completion of the new
tariff bill and its submission for the
signature of the President is to pro
duce uncertainty and a suspension of
activity In the lines of trade which
are the most affected by the pending
legislation. High or low duties mako
hir.h or low prices, and until It is
known what the duties shall be, it la
obviously out of the question to place
large orders. It is evident, however,
that no matter what the duties may
be. the termination of the twiff un
certainty will release a vast pent-up
volume of trade and complete the
commercial and Industrial revival.
This is a cheerful prospect and it
should afford corresponding encour
agement to waiting capital and anx
ious labor. It Is satisfying to feel con
vinced that, whatever the lawmakers
may do, the icturn of prosperity la
certain and cannot be long checked.
At the same time, however, It Is
somewhat Irritating that so much val
uable time should be lost as there
was, apparently, In the United States
Senate during the same week covered
by the commercial agency review re
ferred to. Those Senators known as
the "insurgents were very much in
vMence and they assailed Senator
Aldiich of Rhode Island, chairman of
the Senate finance committee, with in-
umerable questions and propositions,
nd talked, talked, talked! The princi
pal, or rather the longest speaker, was
Senator Dnlliver of Iowa, a well-in
tentioned citizen, but one who has been
considerable of a "ructlonist" of late.
He had no sooner finished a two days'
speech than his colleague, Senator
ummlns of Iowa, took the floor and
reiterated what Senator Dolllver had
declared was the demand of the peo
ple for a revision of the tariff down
ward. Without mincing of words, Mr.
Cummins denounced what he declared
were commercial developments tend
ing toward trusts and monopolies, and
Issued the warning that unless legis
lation of a corrective character 1s
granted by Congress and a bridle
placed upon the trusts "the common
people and the lamp posts will re
main after the alleged t.hralldom of In
dustrial slavery has disappeared.
It Is reported that Senator Cum
mins intends to make five or six
speeches during the consideration of
the tariff hill. If they are to be mod
eled after this particular one the ques
tion naturally presents ltpelf how far
will they go toward bringing about
the era of prosperity forecasted for
so many months past and now, accord
ing to the experienced business re
viewers, halting tiptoe on the threshold
of Today?
With a view to demonstrating his
Republicanism Senator Cummins
made this explanation: "I do not be
lieve In lowering the duties to a point
that will enable foreign producers to
take the home market from our pro
ducers." But as a radical tariff revi
sionist he Insisted that the question of
"reasonable profit" has confused and
complicated an already embarrassing
situation and Is being used as a cloak
to hide excessive and prohibitive rates.
As Senator Cummins followed Sena
tor Dolliver, so Senator Clapp of Min
nesota walked in the footsteps of the
senior senator from his state, Knute
Nelson. Senator Clapp Joined the oth
er "Insurgents"-In warnlrg Senator
Aldricr that unless there were fur
ther eductions of duties the tariff
w(,ild be revised by the enemies of
protection two years hence.
Instead r.f being worried by theso
Increasing centra! attacks upon the
tariff bill his committee has reported,
Senator Aldrlch and Senator Penrose
of Pennsylvania, also a member of
the finance committee and one of Sen
ator Aldrlch's strongest and most cap
able lieutenants In this tariff revision
campaign, and the other senators who
are taking leading parts are taking
great consolation from the attacks.
They say tVat tho more general and
violent the attacks of the western
members become, the more frightened
some of the "insurgents" will become.
There are few of tho so-called radical
"Insurgents" who are not anxious to
protect one or more Industries In
which their states are Interested. If
there should be a general lowering of
the duties the schedules in which they
are interested would have to fall with
the others. j
After a week given up almost en
tirely to talk a vote was had on Fri
day, May 7, on the lead amendment
calling for a protective tariff on that
metal of li cents per pound. It car
tied by a vote of 63 to 19. It was a
victory for Senator Aldrlch, although
upon an Insignificant matter, and gave
him and his supporters much satisfac
tion. It was a vote that showed Just
what the real situation Is, and follow
ing Its anm ncement Senator Aldrlch
stated that he would now ask to have
the schedules taken up In their al
phabetical order, and ho expressed the
hope that the bill would he out of the
way before the end of June. Before
.hat he had doubted whether Congres
would rise before some time in Au
gust. The senntors who have been classed
r-s "Insurgents" are: Dolllver and
(ummlns, Iowa; Nelson and Clapp,
Minnesota; Bristow and Curtis, Kan
sas; Brown and Burkett, Nebraska;
Crawford, South Dakota; Johnson
North Pnkotn, nnd La Kollette, Wis

The Chinese Hoe.
The Chinese farmer stands second to
none In nil the world. This Is all the
more remarkable since he has really so
few Implements with which to work
the mnrvels he produces. Ills only Im
plements are the hoe, the plow ami the
harrow. Beyond these the Chinese
farmer never dreams of desiring any
other. The first of these tools seems
never to lie out of his hands, for It Is
tho one upon which he relies the most
and Is his most effective Implement. 11
really takes the place of the spade In
England, though the latter Is never put
to such extensive anil general uses as
the hoe. The Chliiuinun can do any
thing with It but make It speak. A
farmer well on In years can easily 1
recognized amidst a number of work-lnf-Miien
by tin- curve his hands have
taken from holding the hue In tho
many years of toll In his fields. With
It, If he Is n poor man and has no oxen
to plow the ground, he turns up the
soli where he Is going to plant his
crops, and with It he deftly nnd with
a turn of his wrist levels out the sur
face so that It Is made ready for the
seed. With a broad bluded hoe he dips
to the lottom of a stream or of a pond,
draws up the soft mud that has gath
ered there and, with a dexterous
swing, flings the dripping hoeful on to
his field nearby to increase Its richness
by this new deposit. London King.

'hambrrlnln'a Liniment.
This is a new preparation and a good
one. It is especially valuable as a cure
for cbronlo aud muscular rheumatism,
and for the relief from pain which it
affords in acute inflammatory rheuma
tism. Those who have used it have In
variably spoken of it in the highest terms
of praise. Lame back, lame shoulder and
stiff neck are due to rheumatism of tbe
muscles, usually brought on by exposure
to cold or damp, and are quickly cured
by applying this liniment freely aud
massaging tbe affected parts. Soreness
of tbe muscles, whether induced by vio
lont exercise or Injury, is allayed by this
liniment. For sale by Dunn & Fulton.

doctored about six weeks, and was get
