Per Cent or Trice Proposes
to Slash Steel and Ma

WASHINGTON'. IX-c. S. Although he 1
jh airman of the tariff commission of the
National Association of Manufacturers,
Herbert El Miles, of Racine. W.. a man
ufacturer of agricultural Implements,
agons and carriages, made It plain to
(lie committee on ways and means of the
House today that he wm not appearing
for the Association. He professed to ad
dress the committee "A one of the mil
lion consumers, as one of the lfiO.OOO to
2n0.0TO manufacturing consumers, as an
employer who pays J."0O.0nO annually In
vuei and as an Independent, non-trustl-ned
manufacturer."
"A stone labeled as bread." is what
he said the farmer Is given through the
Dlngley tariff.
Mr. Miles said the Standard Oil Corn
pan;' benefited must from the duty on
oil. " The Standard's wage coat la C per
cent of the price to th consumer, and
the tariff offered a protection of 3 per
cent of the price.
The tariff rate or. steel and its prod
ucts, he said, were all in excess of the
wage cost. He declared that 95 per
cent of the steel output was controlled
hv the t'nited States Steel Corporation.
Jones Laughlln. the Republic Tron &
Steel Company, the Colorado Fuel
Iron Company, and the Iackawanna &
Pennsylvania Steel Company. At Mr.
Dalzell'a suggestion, he Included the
Cambria Steel Company. He said that
these and several others were "lr. a
commercial sense practically one con
cern." That is true as far as making: one
price is concerned," suggested Mr.
Cockran. of New York.
Mr. Miles recommended a maximum
duty of 15 per cent on heavy steel prod
ucts and as a minimum no duty. This
reduction of the schedule, he explained,
might result In a material reduction
In the cost of agricultural Implements
and wagons to the farmer, and he
advocated putting; nails and some ma
chinery on the free list. He admitted
later "that the entire steel schedule
for rolling mill productions should be
reduced from 15 to 29 per cent. Say
ing he feared he might be taken for a
free trader In view of his recommenda
tions. Mr. Miller said:
"I'm agalnxt a free list."
"What for,T' asked Representative
Champ Clark, of Missouri.
"Because I want to see the Govern
ment get revenue and because I want a
trading proposition whereby we can sll
goods In foreign countries."
Rome excitement was caused when Mr.
Clark asked Mr. Miles:
"What was the difficulty you and Mr.
-Van Cleave. Mr. Tarry and your asso
ciates had with the labor unions?"
Mr. Miles denied that he had had any
trouble.
Colonel Martin S. Mulhall, of St. LouK
came forward and became Involved in a
heated argument with Mr. Clark. Colonel
Mulhall alleged that certain labor lead
ers were trying to boycott Mr. Van
Cleave because he was a Republican and
a protectionist.
"I don't want any political speeches."
replied Mr. Clark warmly. "I want to
know what the row was about between
Mr. Van Cleave and the lahor unions."
The brassworkers wanted 10 per
cent more wages than was being paid
In St. Louis." replied Colonel Mulhall.
who continued heatedly to defend Mr.
Van Cleave until Chairman Payne Interfered.

the correctness of his method of pro

member of the bar of the state that
thtf Supreme Court take no final action
upon this casa unless it be-to grant a re
hearing pending the determination of the
Investigation. This petition, like a score
or more in other cases, will be disposed
of at the leisure of the court. They may

JUDGE VAN ZANTE RETURNS
SLIPS INTO TOWN" QUIETLY
WITH HIS BRIDE.

Married to Sweetheart of

with his bride just as quietly as he
departed in quest of her two weeks
ago. Municipal Judge John Van Zante
returned from the East at 9:30 o'clock
Saturday night, accompanied by Mrs. Van
Zante. However, his efforts were all
in vain, for awaiting him at the home
of his brother, to which he went Im
mediately "on his arrival, were two
score or more friends, who welcomed
the Judge and his wife most heartily.
"T am willing to talk now," he said,
when asked about his trip last night,
"but I wasn't willing before I left. But
the Portland papers were sent me and
I see I didn't fool any one as I thought
I would. But Mrs. Van Zante Is with
me and If there's anything you -want
to know about the wedding or the
trip, just ask her about it."
Two weeks " ago Judge Van Zante
quietly left the city. It was not gen
erally known whither he had gone,
but to a few friends he imparted that
Information and it must have been one
or more of those intimate friends who
told, for next morning The Oregonian
told of his Journey to a little town in
Iowa to marry a young woman he had
known and loved for years. She was
Miss Rachael Donselaar, and she lived
at Pella, la., a village about 45 miles

TEE SLEEPING SICKRESS
WHICH MEANS DEATH
How many readers have beard of thi
terrible disease? It prevails In that
far-away country Africa especially
the Congo district. It is caused by
the bite of the tsetse fly. When It
bites a person, the Bleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful,
balmy sleepof health. Is there any
thing; more wearing than to lie awake
at night, tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet, hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short of letting the tsetse
fly bite us we would do almost any
thing for relief. How can we pre
vent It? Mr. George Hayes, of
Union City, Pa., writes: "I had lost
my appetite, was all run-down, could
not sleep nights. I had tried every
thing without relief. Vlnol was rec
ommended, and to my surprise, It
helped me at once; gave me a splendid
appetite, and now I sleep soundly."
What Vlnol did for Mr. Hayes.lt will
do for every run-down, nervous and
overworked person who cannot sleeo.
