FACTS ABOUT THE TARIFF Bill! Some Interesting Information' About the Measure Which has | Just Passed Congress. Washington Dispatch to Balti-! more Sun. The Federal government has been spending nearly $1,000,000,- 000 a year, and the new tariff law will raise less than one third of that sum. Recent esti mates by tariff experts in Con gress predict that the rates will raise $249,000,000 a year, and; that the income tax will raise! $122,000,000. The remainder of the government's great income is made up principally of inter nal revenue taxes and postal receipts. The income tax probably will! bring the new law most forcibly j to the attention of citizens. J President Wilson and Democratic leaders believe, however, that the reduction of duties on cloth ing, foodstuffs and other neces- j saries of life and the complete removal of the duty from many j like article will eventually bring a reduction in the "cost of living"! without materially affecting busi- j ness prosperity. A brief summary of the new' tariff law is as follows : Average' percentage of tarilF rates as compared to the value of all im- ' ported mechandise: Old law, 37, per cent; new law, 27 per cent; value of annual imports added to! the free list, 8147,000,000; esti mated revenue from all import j rates: Old law, $305,000,000; new law, 8249,000,000; estimated, revenues from corporation and income taxes: Old law, $37,000,-! 000; new law $122,000,000. Altogether consumers in the United States probably will re ceive from abroad free of all tariff more than $1,000,000,000 worth of merchandise during the next year.

"i tTY' 1 j mount of "free imports" was more than $880,000,003, and when the tariff is entirely re moved from wool, sugar, iron ore and cheap iron and other im portant items the total is ex pected to increase notably. Under the old law more than 53 per cent of increase of all goods brought to the United States from all parts of the world paid tariff and that proportion will be increased by the new law. The free wool provision of the \ new law takes effect December | 1, 1913, and the free provision i May 1, 1916. The new tariff law, passed four years after President Taft signed the existing Payne-Aldrich law, is the result of more than nine months of work in Congress. Hearings were started January 6 by the House ways and means committee. Chairman Under wood introduced the tariff bill April 7. immediately after Presi dent Wilson had convened the new Congress. It passed the House May 8 and the Senate September 9. In the opinion of its makers, the Democratic leaders of Con gress. the most important fea tures of the niw tariff are: A i reduction of nearly one-half in the average tariff on foodstuffs and farm products; the placing of raw wool on the list and a reduction of nearly two-thirds in the tariff on woo'en clothing, especially of the cheaper grades; a reduction of one-third (average) j on cotton c'othing; reduction j of the sugar tariff and it ulti mate abolishment in 1916; a reduction of one-third (average ) in the tariff on earthenware and glassware. Abolishment of all tariff on' meats, fish, dairy products, j flour, potatoes, coal, iron ore, i lumber and many classes of farm j and offices machinery. (Teneral I tariff reduction on all important j articles in general use. THE DANBURY REPORTER Throughout the long fight over the bill the Republican attack on the measure has been directed against those rates which the Republicans declared were so low as to threaten destruction to American industries through the competition of foreign manufac turers. The Democratic support ers of the new law have insisted that except in those cases where public welfare demanded radical changes the f ariff has been re duced only to a point where it will "stimulate competition with out turning markets over to foreigners. A great amount of work will fall upon the Treasury Depart ment, it is expected, in working out the details of the new income tax and the methods of collect ing the direct taxes from indivi dual citizens of the United States. The tax upon corpora tions, now fixed at 1 per cent, of their income, remains the same and becomes part of the general income tax law. A staff of special deputies, collectors and agents will be em ployed to organize and conduct the work of income tax collection.

R. 2, Box WSBfi 27, Hartsell. Ala- * bamo, under date B UK \ylsp which is exactly nine years ago. HI what your Pe runa has done REV. G. W. ROBERTS, for me after R.R-2.80x27, three years of HartusU, AU. Buffering. I had tried the treatments of several doctors, also home rem edies, but they failed and all hope had gone. My friends, like myself, thought I was in the last stages of consumption. "My daughter brought me a bottle of Peruna and plead with me to try it. I had got so weak I had lost my voice, and I thought it no use. That was in May. 1902. I bo-ran to take it, according to directions. I wrote to you, and you gave ma your kind advice. "I soon felt better, my cough began to give way, and tho expectoration lessened. I have taken fourteen bot tles. I feel well, cat hearty, sleep soundly, weigh as much as I ever did, do considerable work on my farm, and attend to my other business. My friends seem astonished at my re covery. "I wish to thank you for your kind advice and the books you have sent me. I shall ever praise your medicine and hope that you may enjoy a long Ufe." It will be observed that Rev. Rob erts waited two years after he began to use Peruna, before he wrote the above letter to Tho Peruna Co. So that his apparent recovery could not possibly have been temporary relief. In a later letter to The Peruna Co., dated September 22, 190& Rev. Rob erts says: *1 am a great friend of Peruna. By the use of Dr. Hartman's advice I am here to-day. able to be with my family and attend to my business." " Davie County Sells §511,0110 Road Bonds and Starts Work. I Mocksville, N. C-, Oct., 9. Fifty thousand dollars worth of Davie county bands have just been sold to a Chicago firm and work has started on the roads in We quote from another letter, dated December 10, 1906: "I praise Peruna to all the Rick. The people know my case, and ihey praise it also." In a letter dated November 22. 1909, wo quote Rev. Roberts: "Pe runa gave me back my life ten years ago. All my acquaintances know that. I am certainly thankful to you for your kindness." In a later letter, dated January IS, 1910, he says: "I shall ever in the future, as In the past, be ready to speak In praise of Peruna to all suf , ferers. I believe my miraculous cure has been the means of many others being cured in this county." i From a letter of September 5, 1911, we quote a few words: "I am still • among the living. As to Peruna, I , do not feel that I have words to ex- I press tho faith I have In Its merits. I feel that Peruna has been the i means, through tho kind providence • of God, of prolonging my life for • more than ten years." We quote a still later letter, October 1 SI, 1012. Ho says: "I took a severe ; cold three weeks ajro. I at once sent 1 for Peruna. Have been taking it two weeks. I cm now better. I consider 1 that Peruna has carried me over a 1 dozen years of life. I always stand ready to answer any question in ref ' erence to Peruna." Wc quote from his last letter, dated 1 January 2, 1913: "Dear Friends: I wish this bright New Years to ex press my thanks to you for your kindness. Trusting that you may have a successful and happy year, and that your medicine may prove a , blessing to many as it has to me, I am yours as ever, G. W. Roberts, Hartsell, Alabama, R. F. D. 2, Box 27." It is not necessary for us to add any words to this story. The elo quence and pathos of these letters are more convincing than arguments or affidavits. Who can doubt the clergyman's story? Who can doubt that Peruna saved his life? Every home should be provided with the last edition of the "Ills of Life," sent free by the Peruna Co., Columbus, Ohio. various sections of the county. Supt. Burgman is working the largest force on the road from I Mocksville to Holmans. They 1 are moving dirt rapidly, and will have this 10 mile stretch com pleted by Christmas no doubt.
