THE FORDNEY TARIFF BILL:—The Indianapolis News,, independent republican paper has this to say of the proposed Fordney tariff act: — The taxes on hosiery written in the senate bill are as follows: Wool hose, from 33 cents a pound and 35 per cent, to 49 cents a pound and 50 per cent, cotton hose. 70 cents a dozen pairs to 80 per cent; silk hose, 60 per cent —the highest duty thus, as usual, being on the cheapest article. In a recent bulletin of the Fair Tariff league, a protectionist organization, is this: A single operator at about $3 per day. running twenty automatic machines, produces 1,800 pairs of the cheapest men's socks a day, selling at 6'to 7 cents a pair, and retailing in the ten-cent stores at 10 cents a pair The hosiery people now have 36 per cent of $45 protection on the entire 1,800 pairs, to protect a total wage cost of $36, and they are crying for about 70 per cent protection. They have no right to any, for no nation equals our low hosiery costs. A protective tax of 70 cents a dozen on this cheap hosiery is almost exactly 100 per cent of the amount that it is wholesaled for It is only one of many cases of protecting, not men, but machines'. If the Fbrdney duties were bad and excessive, those proposed by the finance committee are atrocious. Fordney proposed a tax of only 35 cents to 35 per cent, as against the senate rates of 70 cents to 80 per cent. But the Fair Tariff League has been investigating twen-ty-nine industries “producing mostly the things that fill our stores." It found that in these industries the total wages paid are seldom more than 20 per cent of the factory selling price of the product, and often from only 6 to 15 per cent. The following unescapable conclusion is drawn: A tariff of from 15 to 30 per cent, would, with a few exceptions, equal the total wage cost in the industry itself, while much less than this would represent the “difference in the wage cost” in this country and foreign countries. Yet the people are to be asked to pay taxes to 80 and 100 per cent — perhaps, if the American valuation plan is adopted; of many hundred per cent —to protect some man who need no protection at ail and others who would be amply protected, granting that they needed any protection) by a duty of less than 15 per cent Such is the program that the senate finance committee insolently proffers to the American people. It is protectionism run mad. The United States senate has spawned its tariff bill. It is in some respects higher than the notorious Payne-AI- - drich law of theprevious Republican administration and considerably above the present Underwood law.

less it represents the views of the high | protectionists of the country who be- I lieve that a tariff wall begets pros I perity, even though it docs strangle international trade And it does be'get prosperity for those who are protected. But no tariff protects every ■ body and this one will come farther I short of everybody than any such measures for a long period of years. For , the consumer there is one important thing always to remember about any tariff. It is that it is a means of making the consumer pay more. That I is the point of a tariff —to cut out competition so that the American manufacturer can raise his price Such a manufacturer is "protected", to be sure —a beneficiary of special privilege. The answer of the high tariff man is that the American workingman gets higher wages because of the tariff The American workingman ought to be able to answer that .He received more money under the Underwood low tariff act than under any high tariff law ever passed. John Tyndall for congress means that the eighth district will be represented by a man who has the best interests of the people of his district conscientiously at heart He is exactly tile kind of a citizen who should be chosen for he has the ability and the talent and has proven his honesty by keeping faith with the people each time he has been trusted to hold office We in Adams county know this and we should spread that gospel to the voters of the eighth district. 1 One of these days normalcy will give way to a ten year period of good times if the big business men will permit it. They are not quite ready but indications are that they are preparing and that we will go forward one of these days. Get ready for that peroid now. Congresswoman sent out an appeal for prayers for congress. We knew they needed it but we doubt if it takes. There are some ■ prayers even of no avail President Harding advocates a six year term for himself. Fine for even at the rate he is going he won’t be able to find jobs for all the faithful in four years. The house wants to take a six weeks rest say Washington dispatches. The only objection offered by the people is that six weeks is not near enough. Many a man continues to be well satisfied with himself long after he has discovered how totally lacking in good points are other folks.

IF KIDNEYS AND BLADDER BOTHER Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Out Your Kidneys and Neutralize Irritating Acids Kidneys and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't control urination. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the caid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithia-water drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble. Peter Loshe from east of Decatur looked after business here this morning. r — ROOMS gW I Witt ! Rates Jnnft ss =-*—* w-S Bl’nna Lfl -x-, as 151 (J) Zlxi’joF!

Hite was the busiest place in the court house today, many taxpayers coming in to liquidate for the spring installment of the last year’s taxes. But two weeks and one day remain in which to pay the spring installment. Contrary to expectations, or rather to the custom for the past few years, the clerk's office was a rather quiet place today.
