EXPLANATION IS OFFERED PUBLIC 111 TARIFF CASE State Department Explains Countries Who Receive Lowest Rates Are Ones Who Have Favored U. S.

TRADE RELATIONS OF COUNTRY EXPLAINED

In the Statement It Is Shown Great Britain Takes About One-fourth of the American Exports.

Washington, Jan. 20. To make perfectly clear the reasons that influenced the president in according the minimum tariff rates under the Payne-Al-drlch act to the six countries named in his proclamation the state department has made public a concise reTlew of the trade relations between those countries and the United States. This shows the enormous volume of trade between the countries and America and makes apparent the fact that in no case has any of them nought to deprive the United States of that equality of trade which is accorded by European countries toward one another. The statement follows: "The United Kingdom furnishes the best market which the United States enjoys in foreign countries, for it takes nearly one half of the total American exports to Europe, or onethird of all our exports to the entire world. "This vast importation is received on the same favorable tariff terms as those accorded to like imports not only from any other foreign country, but from the British colonies as well. Fair Treatment. "The customs tariff of the United Kingdom applies to but few articles from the United States, which fact has been favorable to the expansion of our trade. The cattle and! meats of the United States are received on as favorable terms in the ports of the United Kingdom as are granted to those produced in any European country. The live cattle are admitted for slaughter with a delay of 12 days, which permits their recuperation after the voyage. "In the last 14 years cattle from the United States to the number of 4,500,000 have been landed in Great Britain. The annual valuation of this trade is $30,000,000. "According to the statistics of the British government, exports from the United States in 1908 were valued at $604,227,000 in a total importation from the world of $2,886,000,000. Italy's Policy. "Italy employs a dual tariff system of the general and conventional kind, the latter being based upon a series of reciprocity treaties with various European governments. Italy has invariably extended to importation from the United States her complete and unqualified conventional rates, which ere the lowest rates given to any country. "The percentage of Increase of exports from the United States to Italy in the past 10 years is phenomenal. In 1899, according to United States statistics, Italy purchased American goods to the value of $25,035,000, while in 1909 her purchases amounted to $58,509,000. "Russia uses the same kind of tariff system as Italy, and likewise applies her entire conventional tariff to Imports of American products, thus giving to the United States the tariff treatment of the most favored nation. "According to United States statistics our exports to Russia increased from $10,030,000, in 1899, to $17,269,000 in 1909, or an increase of 72 percent. Shows Us Favors. "Spain employs a maximum and minimum tariff system, and since 1906 has extended her complete minimum tariff of importations from the United States, thus treating this country on the tariff basis of the most favored nation. "According to United States statistics our exports to Spain increased from $9,078,000, in 1S99. to $19,679,000, in 1909. or a growth of 117 percent. "Switzerland employs the general and conventional tariff system and extends the complete conventional tariff rates to importations from the United States. "According to Swiss statistics the value of importations from the United States ia the calendar year 190S was $11,707,000 in a total importation of $287,020,000. Single Tariff System. "The Turkish government has a single tariff system. There is no disciiniinatlon against the United States or its products in Turkey in Europe vr Turkey in Asia. "According to United States statistics our exports of American products to Turkey increased from $522,000, in 1899. to $2,918,000, in 1909, or an increase of 392 percent. "In the case of two of the above mentioned countries the proclamations Issued include the colonial possessions of Italy and Spain. "The colonial possessions of Italy are Eritrea and part of Somaliland, on the east coast of Africa. "The colonial possessions of Spain are the Canary Islands and certain African possessions." The statement adds that no discrimination against American cattle and meat products had been advanced by the countries above named.

Nervous Collapse "I have traveled for thirty years continually. I lost a great deal of sleep, which together with constant worry left me in such a nervous state that finally, after having two collapses of nervous prostration, I was obliged to give up traveling altogether. I doctored continually but with no relief. Dr. Miles' Nervine came to my rescue I cannot describe the suffering which this Nervine saved me. Whenever I am particularly nervous a few doses relieve me." A. G. C. LIB BY, Wells, Me. There are many nervous wrecks. There is nervous prostration of the stomach, of the bowels, and other organs. The brain, the kidneys, the liver, the nerve centers are all exhausted. There is but one thing to do build up the nervous system by the use of Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine. Its strengthening influence upon the nervous system restores normal action to the organs, and when they all work in harmony, health is assured. Get a bottle from your druggist. Take it all according to directions, and if it does not benefit he will return your money.

At Local Theaters

At the Murray. "Such a different act, so refined and so cultured, the best ever, a good stunt, etc." These are a few of the many statements in commendation of "A Night With the Poets" that one hears at the close of every performance at the Murray theater this week. It shows that the best is appreciated by all classes and all fully agree with Frank W. Luce, D. D of Iowa, the distinguished lecturer and divine who said: "Clinton E. Lloyd is a benius in his line. Easy and graceful on the platform, with a rich elastic voice, which he uses with skill: with strong, intense personality held in control by well trained repose. It is a delight to all lovers of the dramatic art to hear him." "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" is a sketch which is teaching an import-

Lant lesson and is presented by Lucius

Fairchild and Miss Helen Van Burne. McGarry and McfJarry in a singing and dancing act, Makino and Co., in an act of mystery, which amazes the audiences and the motion pictures make a big program at the vaudeville house.

Blanden Players. During the matinee of the Blanden Players at the Gennett Theater this afternoon a flash light picture was taken of the audience and the photographs are to be given away as Souvenirs Saturday evening. The matinees which Mr. Blanden are giving this week have become most popular, so much so in fact that the outside of the Gennett resembles a Day Nursery for half the baby carriages in town are lined up outside every afternoon.

"The Thief." Charles Frohman produces with a special company at the Gennett on Saturday, Jan. 29th, the great play called "The Thief," translated from the French of Henri Bernstein. "The Thief tells the story of a woman who steals in order to have money for clothes to win her husband's admiration. That, to begin with, is a blissful change from the average play in which we find a husband or a wife trying to get as far away as possible from the life partner, trying to drown a past, to polish up a present, or to do something else along the lines of the divorce courts.

PLAN SCHOOL BANK

The pupils of the Commercial department of the high school will roll in money but it is stage coin. Prof. Guy D. Miller, instructor of the Commercial department has arranged for the installation of a school bank in order that this system of the work may be the more effectively taught.

Those in charge of the bank will in

clude -the students who are farthest advanced in the work and their places will be taken as they finish the work by others who have completed the preliminary steps.

(American Newa Service) New York. Jan. 20. That His Majesty Mutsuhito and Her Majesty Haruko, Emperor and Empress of Japan, are poets as well as rulers, is a fact not generally known. In the Independent of today there appears several poems by each, in Japanese, with English translations. Part of these verses, republished by courtesy of the Independent, are as follows:

O man, look up, even in the hour of weal, When progress leads the nation, and revere The Grace of God that watches o'er the earth. i Kumori nakl Hito no kokoro wo Chilhaya furu Kami wa sayaka ni Terashi miruran. When hearts of men Are cloudless, free from all defiling strain, The mighty gods, clearly beholding them Fill them with their pure light.

Rosewood. Most people have the idea that rosewood takes its name troni its color, but this is a mistake, for true rosewood is almost black of hue. Its name comes from the fact that when first cut it exhales a perfume similar to that of the rose, and, although the dried rosewood of commerce retains no traces of this early perfume, the name lingers as a relic of the early history of the wood.
