Resolution.
Be It resolved by the Board
That we enter our solemn protest
Commissioners of Beaufot Crounty:
against any increase In the salaries
of the Recorders 'and Clerks, of the
Recorder's Courts in ueaufAFl LUI1Dty
as recommended by the committee
provided by the last Democratic
Connty Convention.
That we believe that the salaries
recommended by the committee, fixing
$75 per month for the Recorded
and $25 per month for the Clerk of
w.tMnirtnn District, and $$5 per
month for the Recorder of the Pantego
District, and $25 per month for
the Recorder of the Aurora District,
anv <ncrease
in said salaries will make the
offices heeome a burden on the County,
and cause a heavy expense to the
tax-payers.
That we recommend that the costs
remain the same that are In the pres
costs that there will not he sufficient
revenue to pay the above named aalarla,
and that the Courts will become
County charges.
That a copy of this resolution be
sent to the Hon. Oeo. J. Btuddert

Iidftrwood of the ways and

on the earth, earthenware and glassWare
"schedule today.
Mr. Underwood had been hearing
argument! aimed at securing a low- i
erlng or the tariff 56 and 60 per cent '
china, earthenwgru. porcelain, stone <
and crockery ware, including clock <
cases, steins, lamps and a host or <
similar articles taxed at the higher i
rate in sections 61 and 45 of schedule
"B\\ of the Peyne-Aldrloh tariff '
iaw.
"It looks to rite." Mr. Underwood <
said, "as if schedules 83 and 45 are
more competitive than most of the <
That Is my judgment subject to res- 1
ervatlon If any information is 1
brought out that might develop to >
tho. contrary." 1
This view was radically divergent
from the presentation of the Import- 1
erg-came by M. S. Pltcalrn of New 1
-York city, whose protest against the
"exorbitancy of the present tariff and 1
portrayal of the details of the business
of bringing In fingllsh earthenware
and other products, led to sharp
colloquies with Representatives Payn
of New York and Longworth of Ohio.
Mr. Pltcalrn said that under the
present tariff earthenware la*porta
tion were steadily going down. Mr.
Payno suggested that if the witness'
Statementb were true, the ^importers
would go out of business in 3D days.
Mr. Pltcalrn'cited what he said were
actual transactions and Mr. Payne
attacked them.
"Do you* doubt ' the integrity of
those statetnents?,r"sjicuted the witness^
Mr. Payne persisted and the
witness said he could produce the entries
from Mr Payne
replied that even the Treasury Department
could not "produce miracles."
Mr. Pltcalrn said that 90 per
cent of earthenware Imported Is Brlt-"|
IB 11. ?
? -Eliminate the English earthenware,"
he contended, "and you wW- *
have no competition lu earthenware
in this country.*'
He suggested a 35 and 30 per
cent ad valorem on these products
and changes In the jn
"the two sections Involved and in the
administrative part of the bill. Mr.
PltcalrA said he had heard of undervaluations
at New York but knew
nothing of them. He* had no knowledge
of any associatldfT of French
JiiuwiUmjiiU rtit'thi Importers hall
to sell their goods here at 60 per
cent higher prices than American
products.
8everal other importers of * other
products urged lower tariff, while retention
of the present rates was the
slogan of "representatives of American
manufacturers. ?

safiltary closets elsewhere throughout

Besides the fly's impolite tricks,
there is very great danger that his
