The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION.....$1.50 Per Year Six Months.....$1.00 Three Months.....50 Cts The Gazette is issued every Thursday morning. Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. Has the Largest Circulation THE TARIFF HOLD-UP The result of the tariff will be to increase the cost to the consumers of woolen goods of all kinds. In fact the experts, basing their conclusions of notice already given by the mills of the increased prices for the coming season, calculate that the people will pay during the next year over $200,000,000 more for woolen goods than they did this year. The mills have notified their customers of advances in price of from 20 to 25 per cent all along the line and the buyers for the retail dealers will have to pay $120,000,000 more for men's suits alone than they did last year. It was to relieve the consumers from this sort of extortion that the voters demanded a revision of the tariff and the Republicans, in response to that demand, pledged themselves to a revision to be performed by a special session of Congress to be called immediately after election. The session has been called and the work of revising the tariff is nearly complete, but in almost no instances are the necessaries of life affected. Those things which the man of moderate means must buy, which cut so large a hole in his income, will be not low- WILL GET THE WORST OF IT President Taft, according to the news from Washington, is exerting his influence to secure lower duties. That is commendable so far as it goes and there is no doubt that the Congress leaders will yield slightly to his influence, but it will be so slightly that the consumer will never know the difference. The House debated for hours and then cut the duty on wire nails, which every man who builds a house or a chicken coop must use, from 1 cent to ½ cent a pound. Then the Senate debated gravely for several hours and raised it to ¾ cents. In conference between the two houses the subject will again be debated gravelly and probably a compromise will be reached whereby the duty is fixed at ¾ cents and the republic will be asked to applaud this great reduction. It may be argued that even the present duty of 1 cent a pound is not high, but that in a shortighted view... coop must use, from 1 cent to ½ cent a pound.

It may be argued that even the present duty of 1 cent a pound is not high, but that is a shortsighted view. The duty enables the steel trust to charge a cent more a pound to the jobber, who in turn charges not only his additional cent but the profit on that cent, probably half a cent. Then the retailer charges another profit on the cent and a half and by the time the nails reach the retailer that 1 cent equals at least two cents, probably more. The President will exert his influence in favor of lower duties and the congress leaders will yield to that influence, but when all is said and done the consumers will get the worst of it, as usual. IN FOR GOOD THINGS Senators Borah and Cummins have instituted a campaign to reform the civil service. They are convinced that favoritism has been shown in making appointments and that the examination as conducted by the Civil Service Commission furnish no criterian as to the qualifications of aspirants for federal situations. It is somewhat noticeable that the men who most frequently want to reform the civil service are the late arrivals whose constituents have not enjoyed a share of the federal patronage. For a good many years it has been the custom to fill up a class of federal places with the henchmen of members of Congress and then "cover them in." That is, place them under civil service protection, so that the incumbents cannot be displaced to make room for others whose members of Congress have arrived later. Now the federal service is so filled with civil service employees that there is nothing more to "cover in." Naturally, therefore, the new members want an overhauling which will let some of their people in for the good things. Postmaster Duckworth was in Los Angeles several days this week attending the state convention of postmasters. He attended the banquet on Wednesday evening and was down on the program for a talk on improving the general delivery system.

He gave me three doses of the peculiar medicine, and in nineteen hours’ time I was relieved of over two hundred gallstones. The cure was permanent, and I feel as good today as I ever did.” Offices Crowded All Day Long Yesterday. Kamama’s offices were crowded with suffering humanity all day yesterday.

One case in particular was a friend who had an ulceration of the stomach, but in a week's time he tells me that his stomach was as good as when he was a boy."
