When a Democratic United States senator votes for a 25 per cent, duty on iron ore, he at once becomes a full-fledged protectionist. But when a progressive Republican senator votes for a 100 per cent, duty on some commodity in which his constituents are largely interested, he is heralded as a revenue reformer. When it comes to a discussion of the tariff, there is no limit to absurdities. —South Bend Times. WILL GIVE ANNUAL DINNER The Ladies' Aid Society of the M>.
