= =3 FRANK’S Thirty days have passed since we commenced our Closing Out Sale, and during that time we have sold lots of goods, but still we have a bigger stock left than any of the other merchants, as we always carried the best and biggest stock in town. In these 30 days we have sold more Clothing than the balance of the houses together; more than any house in the same length of time in the history of Petersburg, and it left bur stock in such a shape that we have in some lots no two Suits alike, but we can fit you in size and price. The most we • now have in stock are sizes 34 and 35, and if you are lucky enough to get a fit out of them you will be strictly in it, as the price we ask you wont hardly pay for the making of it. The sooner you come in to pick your new : Suit the° better assortment you will have as the next 30 days will be our banner month, especially in Cloth•tag, and you should take advantage of this. Never before have you had the chance to buy Clothing at prices which we are now making. Lots of odd Suits are marked way below cost in order to sell them. With your new Suit you will need a new Pair of Shoes. We have them in corresponding low prices. Have several pair size 9 of those left which we formerly sold at $4.00, $3.00 and $2.00; but you can have . your choice at 99 cents a pair. > 0 The balance of our stock of James Means’ $3 Shoes will be closed out at the low price of $2.19 a pair. - ,■ • - | . .

Republicans Formerly Contended That Low Untie* Increased Revenues. Those who propose a return to the McKinley duties as a means of increasing the revenue of the government seem to have forgotten that the primary avowed motive in changing the tariff imports of the law of 1883 was to reduce the redundant income, says the Philadelphia Record. ■ When Mr. Harrison went into office in 1889, the government was collecting revenues far greater than it required, and this, excess fostered extrava- i gance and corruption. Republican arguments against the Morrison and Mills, schedules had lieen to the effect that they would not cut down, but rather increase, the government receipts; that the low rates of duties tended to promote importations and so to augment revenues. The McKinley bill attacked this problem by putting a |arge number of commodities on the free list, especially sugar, which had previously brought in more revenue than any other single article of import. The tariff on tin plate and wool and woolen fabrioa was intended to be prohibitory and in effect was so. The real protective scheme, as taught by Ammidown at thedmad of the American Protective league of New York, was that it made no manner of difference what the rate of duty might be, provided it was high enough to be prohibitory of imports. The basis of the reciprocity features of the McKinley law was the prohibitory character of its duties. Concessions from these were to be used to promote trade, especially with Latin America—a trade which would otherwise be cut off. It is strange now to hear all this argument reversed, and a return to protective duties advocated as a means of Increasing the public income. The two things—protection and customs revenue—are in their very nature contradictory terms. It* Purpose 1* Protection. Protection and not revenue is "the first purpose" of the Republican tariff bill, in the opinion of the Indianapolis News (Ind.). It sees no necessity "for opening the tariff controversy,” add- j ing: “Not only is the Democratic posi- i taon in this particular to be attacked by this proposition, bnt it is to be attacked in its stronghold. For years it has been recognised that the wool schedule was the key the whole tariff problem. The only portion of the Wilson-Gorman bill which commands the unqualified indorsement of ^Democratic tariff reformers is that potion which makes additions to the free list, and of such additions wool is the most important. ” Believe la Free Wool. While some manufacturers are setting up the calamity wail to induce congress to add to the wool protection, there are others who do not indulge in that kind of nonsense, bat who invest their money with confidence af a continuance of free wooL Application far a charter was made at Rome!, Gat, reoentlv by the Trainer Manufacturing company.
