I From our Itcgulir Correspondent.) Washington, Feb. 17, 1902. The past week in Congress might be described as "preliminary week" as it was devoted to preparation for the important bills which are, according to the program, to be voted upon this week. To-day the House of Representatives will take up the bill reported by the Ways and Means Committee abolishing the war revenue taxes. If the present program is successful a rule will first be adopted prohibiting the offering of motions during the discussion of the measure and limit ing the debate to two (lays. This is regarded as necessary by the leaders to prevent Democratic fili bustering and an effort to precipi tate the question of tariff reform, a policy which the President opposes as strongly as the leaders in Con gress. The Ways and Means Commit tee will today take up the question of affording relief to Cuba by reci procity or other means. There is a wide diversity of opinion as to the advisability of such a measure and as to the means to be employed, if it is determined that something must be done. Xo amount of ques tioning from Chairman Payne, whom I saw this morning, secured any further information than that the Committee would try and deter mine some means of meeting the President's wishes without injury to any American industry. Mr. Roosevelt is so firmly convinced that our duty to Cuba necessitates this action and certain of the Re publicans are so strong in their be lief that it would be wisdom to take steps to secure the bulk of the Cuban trade that it is most probable some measure will be framed but even the members of the Committee are at a loss to determine what form it will take. Representative Samuel D. Woods, of California, on this sub ject. tells me that he considers the position of the President a most erroneous one and that he is confi dent that, had the President had the time and the opportunity to listen to the testimony before the Ways Means committee 011 the sub ject, he would have changed his position. "The Republican party," said Mr. Woods, "is pledged by its national platforms to protect the beet sugar interests. This nation has, at the direction of the Repub lican party, spent thousand of dol lars and thousands of lives to free Cuba and now Mr. Koosevelt wants us to assume the care of a horde of foreigners at the expense of our own people. The form of our gov ernment is not paternal and there is certainly no reason why the pa trimony of American farmers should be turned over to a lot of idle dagoes. Today, all t lie Cuban laborers are employed and at good wages. They get $23 per month and if their sugar industry is fur ther developed they will have to import Chinese and other cheap labor to do it. The fact is that the Cuban sugar crop is in the hands of speculators, many of them Americans, and that the same peo ple have purchased options 011 the crops for some years to come. Now they want 11s to lower the tariff in order to increase their profits. The laborers and the planters will gain nothing from any reciprocal ar rangement we may adopt; it will all go into the hands of a few sugar men." Representative Joseph C. Sibley, wf Pennsylvania, told me yester day, in speaking of the prospect of the Ways and Means Committee's reporting a measure providing for reciprocity with Cuba, that with certain provisions he would be willing to vote for it. He said: "The experts tell me that our lands will produce beets containing from 2 to 4 per c 'nt more sugar than will the lands of competing countries, such as Germany. The beets grown iu Germany will yield but 13 A per I cent while in some sections in this ; country the yield is as high as IS per cent and in my State it is from j 15 to 10. Therefore, I argue that ; the time is not very remote when j we will produce all the sugar we ! require for our own consumption. j I do not admit that we owe any- j thing to Cuba. We have secured . for her the most priceless pearl that | can be bestowed upon mankind, j her freedom, nevertheless I am j willing to help her even farther, in ! this way. lam willing to vote for j a bill that will return, in the form of a bounty, say 25 per cent of our present duties, for a determinate period, not to exceed three years at the most. My opinion is that be fore that time Cuba will be clamor- j ing for annexation to the United j States. lam willing to do this not because I consider that we owe it j to Cuba but because she is young and 1 think we can afford to help her get upon he! 1 feet, so to speak." Representative W'adsworth, of New York, said to-day: "1 am op posed to reciprocity in every form. 1 do not say that I would not vote for some temporary measure of re lief to Cuba if I was certain that it would injure no American indus try, but 1 am opposed also to any form of bounty and I do not see how relief is to be brought about without working a hardship to our own people.'" No one could be found yesterday or to-day who would make any sort of prediction as to the outcome of the Com in it tee's deliberations although 1 saw most of the members of the Com mittee. The Senate has varied its regular performance, "a speech by the Democratic member on the Philip pines revenue bill" long enough to give some consideration to the per manent census bill during the past week and it is believed that both will pass within a few days. The Democrats have almost exhausted their oratory on the subject and can hardly put oil the final vote mucu longer. In consideration of the census bill Senator Lodge appeared as the champion of civil service reform by opposing the clause of the House bill transferring to the classified service all of the present employees of the Bureau and offered an amendment which provided that only tliose employees who would be retained under the permanent organization should be afforded civil service protection. Senator Mitchell, as predicted in these letters some weeks ago, made a vigorous plea for his amendment making the reduction of the Ding ley rates 50 instead of 20 per cent on Philippine imports and it is possible that some concessions to the views of the Pacific coast Sena tor will be made, especially as Senator Foraker has offered an amendment making the reduction 75 per cent. A Senator told me an amusing story of a. new Western Congress man yesterday. The new member went to one of the Departments in search of a pamphlet and was directed to the document room, which is lined with documents for free distribution. 11 ' I'm Congress man W he said "and I want Bulletin 10". A clerk handed it to him. Surveying the room, and with his thumbs thrust in his armholes, the member re marked, "I guess a Congressman can get pretty much anything he wants here". "Oh ! yes", replied the clerk, "we make no discrimina tion against Congressmen." And the Member is still wondering what he meant. Letter to Emporium Machine Co. Emporium, Pa. Dear Sirs:—You paint lead and oil, don't you ? Do you know why a house turns flat in spots and streaks in a few weeks, before the paint has had any chance to chalk or wear ? Devoe lead and zinc don't flat. It's as glossy as ever untill it begins to wear; it keeps its gloss for two or three years. When the gloss begins togo, the paint is beginning too go. It is the flr.st sign of wear—it ought to be. We suppose the flatting is due to water in lead; but why it should flat in spots and not all over is more than we know. There is water in all white lead in] the making. We dry it out; perhaps nd body else does. Yours truly, 00 DEVOB & Co. A Night Alarm.
