A Masterly Arraignment of the Measure of the Majority. Wahiusutox, April 2. Chairman Miila re-appeared in hin neat for a short time to-d:iy. His dek was covered with flow en, and Biemliers of both sides pred about and congratulated him on his re covery. He only remained Ions enough, however, to hear Acting Chairman Mo Millin intnliu the tariff bill, with the mnjurity and minority rejxuts, and (rive notice that he "wouM call np the bill for disco.inij two weeks from to-morrow. Whin he left the hall, he met Mrs. Mills in the corridor, and was driven home An outline of the majority report has already been pivrn the public An al- lejtinl aLstract of the minority reXrt mas also sent out a day or two ago, but it was simply a sell. The report was presented tixlay in manuscript form, and went im medintely to the iiovernment IVintin?

It is considered by the few who have seen it outside of the committee to be a masterly arraignment of the measure of the majority, which will probably strengthen the spinal columns of a nuui lierof Mr. Randall's folio irers who have shown a disposition to wen ken ol late. The report of the minority of the C:iittiittte on Wavs anil Moans on the tariff bill was prepared by Mr. MrKinley and is si-ned bv all the Rcr-uMiean n.emlKrsof the committee.

The minority protested without avail in the committee, and now announcing it to the House, as they feel constrained to do, accept the issue ten dered by the bill, accompanied with some of their reasons for opposing it, and make their appeal from the j-eoole's servants to the people themselves. A B.niCAL REVEKSIuX. The bill is a radical reversal of the tar iff policy of the country w hich, for the most part, has prevailed since the foun dation of the tovemnient, and under which we have made industrial and agri cultural progress without a parallel in the world's history. If enacted into law, it will disturb every branch of business, retard manufacturing and agricultural prosi-crity, and seriously impair our in dustrial independence. It undertakes t revise our entire revenue system ; ub stantially, all of the tariff schedules are affected ; both clarification and rates are i hanged. Specific duties are in many cases changed toad valorem, which all experience has shown is productive of frauds and undervaluations. It does not correct the irregularities of the present tariff, it only aggravate them. It intro duces uncertainties in interpretation, which will embarrass its administration, promote contention and litigation, and give to the customs otlicers a lutitule of construction which will produce endless contioversy ami confusion. It is marked with a sectionalism which every patriotic citiren mnrt deplore. Its construction takes no account of the element of labor which enters into pro duction, and lit a 'number of instances makes the finished or advanced product free or dutiable at a leas rate than the materials from which it is made. "The oilier SOMERSET, poor man's blanket," which the majority has made a burning ia for so many years, is made to bear the same rate of duty as the rich man's. the rar.p llt's make-it. More than a third of the free list is made up from the products of the farm, the forext and the mine; from produeta which are now dutiable at the minimum ranging from 7 to 25 per cent, and even this slight protection, so essential, is to be taken from the farmers, the lumberman and the qnarryman. The A oerican fir mer will appreciate the vicious character of the bill as applied to him, when he is apprised of the fact that while the prod acts of the land ami labor are shut ont j fm,n Canada by a prrtertive .tariff im poseil by the Canalian Government, the Canadian fanner can send many of his products here without the payment of duty under the proposed bill. How long will the rate of agricultural wagsbe con tinued in the United States under such legislation T What sort of reciprocity is this? This will lie a direct benefit to the Canadian farmer, and a most serious blow to the American. The whole biii has that tendency, and seems to be sub ject to the criticism that it was framed to benefit other countries rather than our own. Xo where in the bill is the ultimate purpose or its authors more manliest than its treatment of wool. It places this product upon the free list, and ex poses our IIiH-ks and fleei-es to mcrciiens competition from abroad. In this iesjct the bill is but the echo of the President's message, and (rives emphasis to the set tled purposee of the majority to break down one of the most valuable industries of the country. It is a public proclama tion that the American policy of protec tion, s: Ion adhered to and productive of l"XrilWEI)KNTED PBis'EKITY in every branch of industry, be abnn doned. Why hare the majority put wool on the free list? I-.-1 them make their own answer. We .piote from the report : " We say to the manufacturer we have put woil on the fn-e list to enable him to r""1.'" ",s l"ralCT'mae P1 rt'lr, an.I ncn.l tl.cm ,nio for- e,P!l mi,rktLs n'1 .ssfully comte ith the f-rei-n manniicturer." ,rst- 1!k ',,rvit " U trin down l,K j privv oi wont, ii Uiis snoutu tie me re- suit, we inquire at whose expense and lss? It mast lie at the expense of the American grower, and to his Io- wlio, at present prion an-l with the present duty, islieing fon-e-1 ont of the business by ruinous foreign competition. The injury by the confewion r-f the majority, will fall npon the American wootgrower. He is to lie the tirsf vii-tim. He can find no r..ii - : i.-.i.-; ii... V""" " 18 hIJ li8 own. and ii is absurd to talk justice. The American workman will indignantly rvpel this effort to degrade his labor. The majority gravely inquire in the re port: "If Congress grants the request of the wool grow ers, w hat are the people to do for woolen clothing?" We beg to suggest that the people of the country wore woolen clothes during the existence of the tariff of ISO", and the tariff pro posed by the wool conference is substan tially that tariff, and the people were NEVEIi Bt-rT.-R CLOTHED, and never better able to buy them. It would be instructive to the majority to compare the prices of woolen clothing iu tiiis country during the period from IS-!" to IStirt, under the low tariff then pre vailing, with the prices now prevailing, and they w mid be profited also by a comparison of the price of wages then prevailing with those now maintained. Tiieir investigations would dbalose the wretched condition of labor in the for mer period, the starving prices then re ceived, and the liability of thousands of worthy workmen to get work at any price. Clothes at any price were the dearest. If the laboring men could have been heard by the committee, they would have told a story of misery during the free trade era which might have de terred the majority even from inaugurat ing the policy now proposed. Again, the majority inquire: "Are the people to be compelled by Congress to wear cotton goods in the winter, or go without, to give bounties to wool growers and wool manufacturers?" While the uacetion is too trifling for serious reply, we assure the majority tnat tlie only danger of such a happening is from the bill they now report, a bill which is to deprive our people of employment and the opportunity to earn money with which to feed and clothe themselves and their families and educate their children. The foreign market to which the Ameri can producer is invited by the majority report is delusory. Our own market is the best. There is no market anywhere set ESTABLISHED 1827. PA., WEDNESDAY, comparable with it. Let ns first of all possess it ; it is oars, end we should en joy it. WOOL US TIIS KSEg LIST is a deadly assault upon a great agricul tural interest, and will fall with terrible severity upon 1.0V people. It will destroy invested capital, unsettle estab lished values, wrest from the dockmastt-rs their lifetime earnings, bankrupt thous auds of our liest and most indus trions farmers, and drive them into other branches of agri.-ullure already overcrowd ed. It is a vicious and indefensible blow at the entire agricultural interest of the country. The report then goes on to say if the provision of the bill eiwicernini woolen goods and manufactures of wo-.l become law, the whole n-ady made clothing busi ness of the country will be transferred to European rivals. The provisions proposel by the bill under the flax and hemp, b jrax, earthen ware, glass, plate ghiss, lumber, salt and metal schedukisni, the report declares, w ill, if enacted into law, be disastrous. if not entirely ruinous, to many AiiKri- can industries. I wlertuc Head of steel rails, the report says : If the majority desire to insure the handing of our steel rail market to our Knglish rivals the proi--l duty of fll will accomplish this purpose nnlcsa the work mgmen who an' employed in pro- in pro dilcing the rail material are wilting to greatly reduce their freight rates. Have tiie majority any Ks.-ur.un-e that the woikingmen and the railroad companies I are willing t anvpt these conditions? ! i -Wither were henr.I before tne commit tee. WoRTHV Of Tlt.'l-OtlT. The supply of steel rails to tiie Tacilic coast is now in the hands of foreigners, because of the cieap transportation by water from foreign ports, the existing duty of f 17 not being UiT.cvnt to enable our manufacturers to compete for that trade. It is stated that the Atchison, Topeka and Hanta Fe ILiiinw 1 Company had lately purchased lf.!K) tons of for eign rails, to be delivcn-d at San Dietfi, Cat, and it is mentioned that another lot of 2,300 tuns of foreign rails had re centiy been soid ly foreign linkers fur a IVnic coast railroad. Ia proposing to seriously cripple, if n.t to di-stroy, the manufacture of steel rails in this country, the majority pr.ib.ii.ly do not realize tiie full signiticani-e of the results w hichthey invite. It should be remliered that our uunu.acturers ot Keel rails consume ! almost one-ha'f of all tlie irnn ore and aluii-st half cf ail the pi iron that the country pr-.duces. If this great market for American iron ores and pig iron Is to lie destroyed, the country need not lie told of the distress which w ill come to labor and the bankruptcy which will come to producer. A flagrant defect ofthe bill of the ma jority is its preicrcnee for ad valorem over specific duties, although the testi mony of almost every Secretary of the Treasury since the foundation of tiie (-vernuient has Wen recorded against the frauds npon the Treasury which ad valorem duties invite and feder. And here isuys tiie report) we detect a uia-.ii-rest ptirjiose to favor foreign, manufac turers at the exjienie of our people, for if ad valorem duties Iiave no c-i-eruted in the past ad to encjurage fraudulent im portations of fiHeign goo-Js, they may be expected to do so again. THAT 1MTI SI 11PUS. The next quest i--a considered is that of the surplus, and tijiou this report say : If it be the purpose of the majority to reduce tiie income of the Government from custom sources;, we beg to remind them that that purpose will not t-e ac complished by the scaling down of duties, as proposed in the bill. It is well know n and supported by almost universal exper ience, that a mere diminution of duties tends to stimulate foreign importations, and thereby increase tiie revenue and augment the surplus. If " the absolute peril" to the business of the countrv-, descrilied by the President in his ims saga last lecember, resulting from an existing and increasing surplus, was im minent an-l well founded, how easily he could have averted it by the purchase of outstanding bonds w ith the surplus mon ey in Treasury, a power which he p-sses-sed, clear an-l undoubted, under the act of March 3, 1SS1, which Is as follows: "That the .Secretary of the Treasury may at any time apply the surplus mon ey in the treasury, and not otherwise ap propriated, or so much thereof as may be considered proier, to purchase or redemption of I'nited Suites bonds.'' To have thus used the surplus would have been direct and business-like, just j what a prudent business man would have done with his idle money cailed in his creditors and applied it to his debts. The President failed to do this, an-l when Congress assembled, the condition " confronted it.

It is manifest that the responsibility APRIL 11, 1888. for the present monetary condition which so alarms the country does not rest with the minority party in the House, but with the President and the majority in Congress. They cannot escape it. The President has fr three years failed, wbi'e having the power t j avoid the financial condition he now complains of. The majority in the House for six years has sisnally failed to provide for a reduction of the revenue. They cannot avoid re sponsibility for the evils which are now upon us, and while these are beyond their power to retrieve, they can by cour age and wisdom, and governed by buI ncsj principles, provide against like evil in tlie luture. lhey must now act or make public confession of failure. The minority rtgnrd this bill not s.s a revenue reduction measun, but as a di rect attemj to fasten opon this country j the British policy of free foreign trade.

M-jore, once the I l-astorof the Central Ciiristain Church, J tuiscity, gave not long ago to a young lady, a memlier of his London congrega tion. This young lady is an orphan and was desperately In lore with one yiuug man while she was being courted by an other. The young man she loved bad shown her a good deal of brotherly love for several year, but 110 word of senti ment had ever passed Irttween them. Filially the young man who had steadily courted her for months, pmptmed matri mony. The y Jung lady did not want to accept since she loved the other fellow, . 1 .li.! .. r. t t . ,n !... . .f i lying an old maid by a flat refusal, be cause this young man for a huslKicd was better than no husband at all. Finally putting the suit off, in desperate strails she went to IVx-torMonre. " Iid you say the young man you love had showed you some attention ?" askf d Ioctor M-xre. " Yes, but only as a brother." " I'll tell you what to do. Just sit dow n and ask his advice. Tell him the fact that you are an orphan, w ith no one to counsel, leads you to come to him for help. Tell him frankly of the young man's proposal and of your hesitancy about accepting a husband, and then tell me the result" In a few days the young lady appear ed at the doctor's study as happy as a meadow lark in June. She had written the letter the doctor had advised, aud as quickly as 1 train could travel between the home of the man she loved and her hone the answer came. " Iton't accept ; I'll see you to-morrow," And he did see her on the to-morrow, when le confessed his love and said be had never avowed it before because he was waiting 'till hi income would war rant a discussion of matrimony. He did not want to marry anybody else under the sua but her, and then she told him she didn't intend to marry the other fel low any of the time, and then " Married At the residence of the bli.le's aunt by Kov.

He was nervous, near-sighted and excitabl . ne day he had been in the city with hi horse and wagon, and among his purchases was a barrel of flour, the head of which was partly out. On the way houu, the old man was over taken and paj-iic-1 by a young man, driv ing a horse and putting on many air. Now the parson's horse was usually a quiet, steady-going animal enough, but he eou'.d not stytid tliat sort cf thing, so he started off a.ter him of the first order in g'Kjd earned. The joltir.g of the. wagon at length jarred tle b'ja.1 completely off the barrel, coun-ianiI,hf. rtlrns w;nd t!l.;t waa Uoivi directly fVr the p-irin blew the fl.-ur all over him and the horse. At hist 1 he fast young man was left, and the village was reached ; lwt the speed of his horse was not checked. In driving through a street to reach his house be came in contact with one of his deacons, w ho was naturally snrpried to see the minister driving at pnch a pace, and signalled him to stop. " Why, Parson P ," said he,"what on earth is the matter? You seem great ly excited. " F.xcited I" yelled the old man, "ex cited ! who in h 1 wouldn't be excited?
