WASHINGTON, May 9.—The muse struck her lyre in the House again to-day, when Representative Simeon D. Foss of Yellow Springs, O.. closed a sarcastic speech on the tariff bill with some verses on “The Things We Buy and Tnese We Sell.” Here they are: * 1 ain’t no statesman who can talk of protection or free trade; My ban’s too stiff to hoi’ a pen—that was made to hoi’ a spade; Them ten-foot, eddicated words my tongue can’t wallop roun\ But I’ll make things you sell go up, an’ things you buy come down. I can’t talk on the currency, nor on the revenue, An’ on the laws an’ statoots I’m as ignorant as you; An’ I jest simply promise you, sure’s I am Silas Brown, I’ll make things you sell go up, an’ things you buy come down. The fair ground echoed wide with cheers and loud huzzas thereat, For who can make a better scheme of statesmanship than that? An’ next week at the polls he beat his rival high and dry— But things we sell continue low, and things we buy are high. r Buy Diamonds Before the New Tariff Advances Prices Under the old tariff no duty was ievied on uncut or "rough'* diamonds. Only 10 per cent duty was paid on cut or polished diamonds. The Democratic caucus has but just recently recom mended a 20 per cent duty on polished diamonds and 10 per cent on the rough. This new rate will no doubt be come effective within the next two or three months. In addition to this, the big diamond syndicate has raised prices to the cutters since January $15 to $30 per carat. This means an advance in the retail market within the next four to six months rang ing from $15 to $00 a carat— according to grades and sizes. Buy a diamond now on at tractive monthly payments and save the advance. Our booklet. "Facts About Dia monds," quotes lowest net prices and gives full particu lars regarding our liberal plans.
