Those who succeed in getting work are often forced to eke out an existence on a mere pittance. Geing young and ambitious and de siring to enter society they go beyond their means, fall in debt, form vi cious habits which are followed bv ant and misery. The temptations that are thrown around them not in frequently causes them to commit some heinous crime for which tbej' are incarcerated, disgraced and ruined forever, . And if these young men could set remunerative' prices for tueir work their circumstances might not be muok better for they would in many cases spend their money in a way not calculated to beneht them, but to satisfy unholy desires.

' I After a hard struggle tariff reform is directly before us.. Nothing so im. portant claims our attention and noth ing so clearly presents itself as both an opportunity and a dutj an op portunity to desire the gratitude jjf our fellow citizens and a duty iuV posed upon us by oar oft-repeated f professions and by the emphatic map- date of the people. After full dis cussion our countrymen have spoken in favor of this retorm. and ihey have confided the work of its accomplisjh rueut to the hands of thsso . who are solemnly pledged to it. If there r is anything in the theory of a rapreoen tation in public places of the people and iheir'desires; it pubhc officers are re -lly the servants of the people and if political promises and profes sions have any binding, force, our failure to give the relief so long i awaited will be sheer recrea.iipj. i Nothing should intervene to distract Jour attentiou or disturb our efforts uutu tuis reiorm is accompiisueu soy wise ano careful legislation. W liilo we should staunchly adhere to the principle that only the necessity jol revenue justifies the imposition jjbl" tariff duties and other Federal taxa tion, and.-that they should be limited' by strict economy, we canuot clgise our eyes to the fact that conditions haye grown up among us which,! in justice and fairness call for discrimi- s nating care in the distribution ; of . . f such duties and taxation as the emer- i genci es of our Government actually demand. m w m P. m P rr o rH W o w P o rH O Buy your medicines at D.

The benefit of such a reduc- 5 tion would be palpable and substun- i tial seen and felt by thousands who wonid be better fed and better clothed and better sheltered. These gifts should be the willing benefactions1 of a Government of which the highest j function is the promotion of the wel- I fare of the people. Not less closely related . to our people's prosperity and well-being is the removal of re stnetions upon the importation olj the raw materials necessary to our man facturers.

Sanford Etpreas. a high tariff forbids the Amerfcan manufacturers as cheap materials: a3 those used by their oompeaitors. j It is quite obvious that the enhance raout of the price of our manufactured products, resulting from this pojicy. not only confines the market for tfisse products within cur own borders,!, tu the direct disadvantage of our maou factures, but also increases their cost to our cilizens. The mterast3 pf j ia bur are certainly, thougu ind:redtly, fnrnlvml in this fn'itijrp nf miF tB;r ' i" u oetoreiuo DU3incaj of tbo country system.

' for their gods soon fill the narrow market to which, they are confined. Then follows a snspensson of work in mills and factories, a discharge of employes and distress in the homes of our workman. Even if the ofieu disproved assertion could be madj good, that a lower rate of wages would result from free raw matoiial and low tariff duties, the intelligence of our workingmen leads them quick ly to discover that their employment permitted by free raw m.iteri als is the most important factor in their re lations to tariff legislation. A measuro has bee prepared by the appropriate Congressional Corn mittee embo4ying tariff reform on the lines herein suggested, which will be promptly submitted for legislative action. It is the lesult of much pa triotic and unselfish work, and I be lieve it deals wiih this subject con sistently and as thoroughly as exist ing conditions permit. I am satisfied that the reduced tariff duties provided for in the proposed legislation, added to existing internal revenue taxation will in the future, though perhaDs not immediately produoo sufficient reve nue lo meet the needs of the Govern ment. The committee afier full consider ation and to provide against a tem poraro deficiency which may exist hart .er no t-ain fnem lie 15' of taxes, including a small t.P0B incomes derived from certain: rative investments. Tiiesa sessments are not . only just arid easily borne, b it thay tlje furrher merit of being can be remitted without un business disturbance whene necessity of their impositinu er exists. In ray great desire for tl of this measure I cannot re suggestion that iU suckj be attai .cd by moans of counsel on the part of the cariff reform, and as a resu willingnnss to iubordina' desires and ambitions to th good. Ihe local interests affected the proposed reform are so nu and so varied, that if all are upon tne legislation emb dyicg reform must inevitably fail. In conclusion, my intense f8ilS? of rceponsibility impels meti for the rnanifo'd interests of a ccefJ ous and confiding people tne scrupulous caro to pledge my support to every legislative etfl fj tho advancement ofthereatn?5 prosperity of our beloved countrr.
