was made to Mr.
Mr. Mills began his speech by saying that
when the great incteasc of duties was made
during the war it had been stated that they
were to be only temporary; yet, a quarter of a
century later, these duties were higher than
they were during the war and they now aver
aged 47.10 per cent, on imports. The income
tax had been imposed to meet war expenses,
but it was goue; it was tax on wealth and the
172,O' 0,000 annually realized from that source
was swept away.
BUT THE WAR TAX ON CLOTHING,
on food, on implements of labor, remained and
there was still being proiccuted against the peo
ple a fiscal war, exhausting in its demands,
goods iu Kuglaud was less than In this country?
Mr. Mills—The labor cost to produce print is
lower here than in Kuglaud, but the total cost
for material aud cverythiug Is lower iu
England.
Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, protested against
interruptions.
Mr. Mills—I don’t. [Applause.]
Mr. Kelley—The gentleman is expounding bis
party doctrine, and these interruptions are, in
myjudgmcnt, Impertinences.
Mr. Mills went on to say that tho English gen
tleman alluded to had returned to his peoplo
and to’d them to fear nothing. “These people
in the United States,” he said, “while they beat
us in labor, While they can produce anything,
hold to a high tariff on raw material. Tne cost
of material that eaters into manufacture is high
and as long as they hold to a high tariff you
muy go to sleep iu security, for Kuglaud holds
the markets of the world/’
Mr. Mills then proceeded, with frequent ap
plause. to elucidate his argument that nigh rute

and every effort to remove or lower that tariff the protective system. He could not, ho said,

when
duties
put nigh
goods they seut „
change for food, it amounted to taxing
our own agriloure products. A reduction of du
ties would uot. as asserted, check manufactur-
i era aud cramp labor. We always imported more
goods when prices were higher; under lower
, duties we could expojt more goods, our manu
facturers would run steadily and labor would
be consuntly employed. Not more than ten
per cent, of the goods consumed iu the United
States would be imported
IF ALL THE CUSTOM HOUSES WERE TORN DOWN
and the government supported by direct taxes.
The protectionists argued that manufactured
articles were cheaper here than in mauy other
countries as a result of protection. It was not
so. but supposing that it was, why, then, should
they resist so strenuously auyeffortto lower the

The right is reserved to reject any and all
proposals for the sale of bonds, if it is
thought to lie for the intereit of the govern
ment to do so.
This action of the Treasury Department Is
the result of full and free discussion of the
subject at a cabinet meeting to-day. It is
well knowu that the President and Mr.
Fairchild were desirious of ajiplyiug a por
tion of the rapidly growing surplus to the
purchase of bonds before the close of the
present fiscal year, aud that they had be
come somewhat impatient at the delay on
the part ol Congress in not clearly defining
the power of tho Secretury of the Treasury
in the premises. The aciipu of the House
yesterdav, and the previous action of the
Seuate in regard to the bond purchasing
Poneri of tlie Secretary under existing la-rs,
has finally removed the doubt in the minds
of the administration on the subject aa in
dicated b); to-day'a action.
Mr. Fairchild this afternoon refuted to
make any statement regarding the financial
policy ol the department except to (ay tlmt
the circular issued to-day inviting proposals
for the sale of United Stales bonds, told all
that was necessary ou the subject, lie hail
not made up his mind, lie said, ns to the
amount of bonds ho would pur
chase, though tho fact tl at proposals
will be received daily without limit as to
time might imply that he wanted to liny a
large amount. 1 he amount to be purchased,
however, he said, depeuiled almost entirely
on the aniouut offered und the price askeu.
It would, he said, he manifestly improper for
him to say anything iu regard to rute* ut
which he would accept bonds. He added,
however, witli a smile, that as interest on
bonds now outstanding did not run so long
ae the interest on tlmse which were purchased
last summer, it might he fair to assume thejr
were less valuable and ms L»
bought at * lower figure than was" paid at
that Uuie. He did uot care, lie said, to
auticipate these tliiugs, however, especially
os he would have lull knowledge of the sub
ject next week, that is, 11 holders of bonds
are willing to sell them to the government.
The surplus, as estimsteri st the Treasury
Department, is now $10 >,009.000.

The following horses were roasted to

Two or three others will pr-.bably die. The

Henry Ueimhold writes to ask what lie
can do to wean his nineteen-year old son
who is his joy and pride, from the buck-
horn head ot a four pound cane. I do not
know that I have heretofore answered this
inquiry, though it lias been frequently
sent in. It is a serious matter, but if
properly managed can lie brought to a suc
cessful conclusion. Take the cane from
him for half a day at a time, substituting
moistened bread crumbs and sugar tied up
together in the rorner of a clean piece of
linen, but do not let him cry too hard at
night if he has been in the habit of cool
ing his gums on the head of the canc. Do
not spank hint and hnrshl take the canc
away from him, but give him the substi
tute nnd lull hint to rest by singing to
him. Gradually you will win him front
it, no doubt, but if all other methods fail
cover the. head of the cane witli two parts
tar-roofing nnd eight parts Rough on
Rats. Hu will not die in the house.
