The Democratic Senators ssvs tre
iNw York World present a solid front
n opysit ion t j thi II -publican b'.U to
increase the dunes of th war tariff in
the interest of trns's and monopoliea.
Tois is an encouraging sign. It
means a renewal of the contest for tax
reduction through tariff reform. It
means that the Democratic party is
still united upn the Bound pr'ncip'e
which suff-red defeat through s oiid
blunders and soandalou bribery in the
late campaign.
This is no tlm for throwing cold
vaer upon a party which emerged over
five millions strong fiom a trief sab
merging In a vagrant tidal wave. S.ill
less is it an occasion for renewing the
illy plea of looting carup followers that
the great Democratic host shocl l con
ceal Its princip'es in tbe hope of recov
ering the postofilees. It is a time for
courageous and united action in so im
port of th policy wtU'h so nearly
tiiurothed in the late elec ion and
wMh will surely succeed in the next
trial.

HfcN O. .iVrS s l ilea er Wrte
ga. tiered dis the l'h I .deip'iia Iitcjril,
there was grati jii g promise of a con
siderable increase of the country's ex
port trade. With abundant crops at
home and short crops in Europe, noth
ing was more natural than to anticipate
an increased foreign dema'.d lot Ameri
can products at renumera ive prices.
L5ut those who made tbia reasonable
calculation left out of their reckoning
the 'leap-rats operations of the gamblers
in the Chicago wheat pit. Tbe attempt
to force up the prices and compel
European consumers to pay exorbitant
ly for their bread has once more demon
Bt rated that the control of tbe world's
wheat supplies no longer belongs to tbis
country. Instead of paying "Oid
Hutch" and his confederates their ex
orbitant prices, the consumers of Eu
rope have supplied tbeir wants from the
granaries of Russia. ITungary, India,
Australia and tbe Argentine Republic.
The results of this movement are
seen in a decline not only of American
exports of w heat but of provisions gen
erally, in a season when our merchants
bad reason to anticipate a strong foreign
demand for tho country's surplus pro
ducts. As these products increase with
the widening of the country's agricultu
ral domain, so mncb more pressing be
comes the necessity of making ontlets
for tbe surplus in tbe markets of tbe
world.
The Indiarapolis Jbumaf, Piesldent
Ilarrison's home organ, has this bit of
chi!licg advice to the Republican
patriots who are anxious to ba in tbe
front after the 4 h of March next, for
their share of the official spoils :
"Official changes and appointments
will come, of course, and in due time ;
but there are limitations to the work,
both legal and personal, which cannot
be disregarded, and we djn't think it will
be advantageous for those who attempt
it. From what we know of General
Harrison, we are quite sure he will not
be drawn or forced In this matter be
youd his convictions ofdaty, and that
tbe office eeefewrs who attempt to crowd
him will not profit by It. We are strong
ly inclined to believe that in tbe next
administration those who are tbe most
clamorous for office will not be tbe first
to be recognlxd. Their very forward
ness and anxiety will be apt to over
shadow tbeir real claims or merits. At
all events. It will be gratifying to see
Republicans maintain a dignified self-
control in this matter and leave tbe
new Preeident to discbarge bis duties
with some degree of freedom and inde
pendence."
The Philadelphia Jieeord publishes
die following Washington dispatch of
December 7. President Cleveland In
Speakmg with a friend regarding the
result of tbe Presidential election, is re
ported as having said : "Tariff reform
must win, r-ecause it is right. Se'fisn
interests cannot much longer deceive
the people. The attack npon these
Interests by tbe Mills bill, and the Dem
ocratic policy, of which it was tbe
exponent, raised an ecormous fund for
use In tbe recent election. The monop
olists bas a'so tbe plauniMe side of tbe
argument, and this doubtless had tta
effect among certain elements of our
p-ople in this great contest. The far
mers, pmicoUrlv and curiously, seemed
more affected by it than the workiugmen
in tbe mauufacturing centers. These
last, bai been thinking of tbe question
and debating it among themselves long
before it became so prominent in tbis
political contesf. Th education of tbe
farmers In the smne direction wilt now
be rapid. If the Republican leaders are
able 'to maintain tbeir policy as an
nounced in tbe Chicago platform and
in the Senate Tariff bill, tbe defeat of
their party in 1S92 is inevitable.
The Senate Tariff bill says the New
York Times, goes oa swimmingly ac
cording to the programme laid out by
thf R-puhlicaa leader. Little really
effective opposition is looked for from
any of tbe S-nators on that aide. Tbe
bill is regarded as having been in the
nature of an off r to thettusts and com
binations to secure tbeir aid in tbe elec
tion. That aid having ben given in
irl!d cash, the terms of the bargain
require that the Republicans shall do
all thy can to pass the bill. When it
comes to the House every effort will be
made to get. as Mr. McKioley says,
'enough good Democrats"-to vote for
it to secure Its passage. That any
Denocrat should be ''good" ennngh to
be'p pay Republican debts to tbe mon
opolists who bought tbe election ot Mr.
Htrrison is not probable. Bat If thai
were possible tbe passage of this icquit
ons bill by both Houses of Congress
would not necessarily make it a law.
A conferevce of D'TOocratic Sena
tors was held at Washington on Tuesday
evening, at which the Senate substitute
for i be Mi is bill was under considera
tion. The conference was c. lied to
learn whether or not any Sena-or bad
any suggestion to make of a cbnge In
the o anner of treating tbe measnre
berett fore pursued In the Senate, but
there was cone. It was unanimously
determiued to mike no factious opposi
tion to th bill, and let I: take its regu
lar course. The views of the Demo
cratic Senators will, however, be made
rnown as each paragraphia read, and
amendments which are deemed necessa
ry and just will be offered. There was
a full attendance of Senators at the

Our altonaI Humiliation.
The fckeMou in Uncle Sam's closet,
ot which all i be world bas a view, is
the decay of our mercantile marine, ao
far as regards tbe foreign carrying
trade. Tbe coas. wise trade is absolute
ly secured American vessels by the pro
hibition of foreign sbipp.ng engaging
in It. Bat our foreign carrying trade
is open to the competition of the world.
Some figures in tbe treasury report of
Secretary Faircbild on this subject are
interesting, tut decidedly humiliating
to our national pride, especially when
we recall Ibe times a Yankee ship and a
Yankee crew carried American com
merce and enterprise to tbe uttermost
parts of tbe earth, and dotted tbe seas
with the stars and stilpes. Hearken
to tbe eloquence of figures.
Going bek a little over 30 years we
find that in 1S5C in round numbers our
total foreign rommerc. Imports and ex
ports, was GU.COO,000. of which $432.
250 000 aras can ted in American vessels
aud 159 350.000 was in foreign vessels.
Over seroiiy five per cent, was car
ried in American vessels.
In 1S8S our foreign commerce had
Increased to 1.3Go.000.000. or more
than double since 1S56. But of this
immense aggregate only 1190.800 000
was carried in American vessels, con
siderably less than one-half tbe amount
carried in 1356, while th amount on
foreign vessels was J 1.420.000 000 in
1SS3 aaainat 5139.350,000 in 1850.
Io 1S56, 75 per cent, was carried lo
American vessels and 25 in foreign.
In 1SSS, tbe aggregate of our foreign
commerce having more than doubled,
but 13 per cent, was in American
vessels and 86 in foreiirn.
The porportion In American vessels
In 1883 was tbe smallest on record,
while the aggregate of our foreign car
rying trade, btated in values, was only
exceeded by tbe four years ending in
1333, a period when our grain and pro
vision exports realized such aa enor
mous volume. Of tbe 13 per cent,
last year of our share of our own trade,
one-half was carried in steam vessels.
Even in war limes, when tbe Confed
erate Alabamas were raiding the seas,
the porportion of our foreign trade in
American vessels raoged from 50 pr
cent, in 1SC2 to 27 per cent, in 1865.
After tbe war tbere was a recovery un
til 1871, wben a decline set in, which
Las steadity continued, bo that our pro
portion has dwindled from 31 per cent,
in thai jear to 13) in 1388.
Tbe profiis on our foreign carrying
trade are estimated at a bnndred mill
ions of dollars, of which American
shippers ft 113 500.000. and foreign
shippers 186,500,000. Then tbe Bhame
of tbe situation. Oar dig has virtually
disappeared from tbe ocean.
Not entirely but very largely tbis hu
miliating decline in the world's greatest
field of enterprise is due to our tariff
policy, and to tbe doctrine of protec
tion, run to tbe ridiculous extreme of
the absolute prohibition o' the purchase
of foreign vessels for our own trade by
American shippers. Tbe Chinese wall
doctrine finds in our foreign commerce
its full fruition. We neither build
ships for the trade or permit our ship
pers to buy vessels abroad. There is
uo'hing lite standing by a principle if
it does bum your bouse down. That is
what our people are doing.
Germany adopted a verv different
principle wben its commerce began to
expand with tbe creation of tbe German
empire at tbe time of the Franco Ger
man war. It said to Its shippers, boy
vessels where you can buy them cheap
est, and sail them under tbe protect loo
or tne imperial flag. Iron and steel
steamers built on tbe Clyde for tbe
German companies soon commenced to
divide with Great Brittain and France
tbe carrying trade of tbe world ; and
this, in torn, has stimulated ship build
ing on the German coast. Germany Is
a protectionist country, bat it does not
stand by tbe principle to tbe extreme of
folly to which the American protection
ist is dero'ed.
We only know one thing to compare
with tbis In economic idiocy. That is
'axing our manufacturers on raw ma
terials not produced or insufficiently
produced In this country, thus blocking
manufacturing enterprise and opening
our markets to the foreign manufact
ured product, which we could turn out
from our workshops, if our producers
were put on an equality with those of
England. Germany. France and Bel
gium, as to the taw material. That is
the w(vl question in a nutshell. Pitts

Dudley's Dynamite.
The Federal grand jury at Indian-ap-tis
has the ease of Treasurer Dudley,
of the National Republican Committee,
under consideration, and it Is quite
pnbab'e that an indictment will be
found against him for bis plot to cor
rupt Indiana "floaters in blocks of five."
A warrant was issued for bis arrest two
oays alter tbe publication of his now
famous letter, but as be has not return
ed to Indiana of course the warrant baa
not been served. If indicted by a
United States grand jury staying away
will not avail bim, unlees he goes
abroad, as tbe process of the Federal
marts can be served anywhere in the
United States.
In view of bis probable Indictment,
Mr. Dudley has decided to threaten a
H-tle. He recently told Ex-Senator
McDonald that be had some dynamite
in his pocket ready for ose in case it
was needed. If thU means anything it
means that Mr. Dudley proposes to
make reprisals in the Democratic camp
in ess- he is compelled to face trial for
bis attempt to buy votes for the Repub
licans. Mr. Dudley should be Indicted and
tried for his rffnnse, even if bis pockets
re fi'Je'd with dynamite sufficient to
blow the Democratic party skv high.
The use o? money to purchase "floaters"
Will continue until 1: shall he made
dangerous. It is probable, as Mi. Dud
ley intimates in his threat, that Demo
crats are equally guilty with Republi
cans in this matter. Thin ihnnM
induce the Federal grand jury to let op
on Dnd'ey. lie should be brought to
trial for his crime against free govern
ment. If he In revenge turns tbe ifght
on Democratic vo'e buy.ng. all the bet
ter. Both sides will get some portion
oMheirjmt deserts.
The one thing for the Federal gracd
jury to enneider :s that vote buying is a
crime and that if Mr. Dudley eneraged
in it be ought to be held to account.
It ehouM deal with Mr. Dudley on the
merits of bis individual case and let
him explode his dvnamite If he wants to.
Tbe explosion, if any occurs, will barm
only a few guilty parties and will do
much to purify r.or elections in the
future, rula. 7 tines.

Chicago, Dec. 10. Shortly after
6 o'clock this morning an attempt was
made to destroy Sbufeldtz &Co'i dis
tillery, in tbe northern portion of the
city, by meana ot dynamite. Enough
facts are not yet known to justify a con
clusion as to whether it is the work of
Anarchists, or some one who bas a
personal grievance against tbe Shut
feldtz.
At tbe hoar mentioned the neighbor
hood was shaken by a tremendous ex
plosion, shaking the buildings, breaking
many panes of glass in the surrounding
houses, and causing the people to rush
into the street In great alarm. Inves
tigation showed that a bomb had been
thrown probably from the street, into a
da' ached warehouse nsed for storing
high wines. This building was shatter
ed, tbe hoops were burst off macy of
the casks and the beads of some of then
were driven in. Very soon afterward a
package wrapped in paper was discover
ed lying in tbe street. It contained
several sticks of dynamite and some ful
minating caps. A fuse connected with
tbe packsge showed evidente of having
been lighted, but bad gone oat prema
turely. Toeae articles are now ia tbe
possession of the police, who are at work
oa tbe ease.
A jagged bole about three feet sqaare
was torn In the roof, and in various
other ways tbe structure was damaged.
Examination revealed the fact that
some person, evidently standing on tbe
sidewalk on Howtborn street, had
thrown np on the building a packsge of
dynamite sticks tied together and at
tached to a fuse which had been ignited.
These sticks consisted of compressed
dynamite, wrapped in pastaboard. and
provided with fulminating caps. The
combination bad exploded, snl it was
only owing to a peculiar chaoce that the
entire structure, as well as tbe surround
ing buildings, were no; instantly leveled.
The aim of the m n or men who at
tempted tbe deed was evidently to bit tbe
skylight on tbe roof, and tbe mark was
miSHtd by bat a few feet. Under the
svylifbt are eight large tabs, or vats, of
highly inflammable liquor. Had the
eynamite sticks exploded in tbe sky
light tbe liquor would have been ins
atantly ignited and a terrible explosion
would baye resulted an explosion.
Captain Shaack thinks, of sufficient
violence to have torn down a score of
buildings.
The damage was comparatively small.
A lot of barrels of wines underneath the
spot where tbe explosion occurred, bad
tbeir hoops torn eft. but none of tbe
contents was spilled. On the roof,
about fifteen feet from the spot where
the firs, explosion occurred, was found
another bundle of dynamite sticks,
seven in number. These bad cot ex
ploded oa account of some defect In tbe
fnse, which had evidently been ignited.
Fortunately no one was in tbe building
at tbe time and no loss of life ot limb
was caused.
Joseph D. Lynch, one of tbe proprie
tors of the distillery, aays be believes it
to be the work of tbe Whiskey TrosU
"We are not in the Trust," be said,
"and that organization has on numer
ous occasions threatend to do us op. To
show yon the desperate character of tbe
deed. let me call your attention to tbe
fact that there were 15,000 barrels of
whiskey stored under the roof that was
torn opn, and if these had been ignited
a terrible fire would nave followed."
Harder and Riot.
Birmingham. Ala.. Dee. 0. Never
before in tbe history of lb city bas
pvblic feeling been wrought np to the
aame degree as it fa over tbe Hawes
murders. Tbe ebaio of circumstantial
evidence which Indicates I bat Hawes is
guilty is terribly strong. For three
days it bas been believed that bis wife
was murdered as well as his little girl,
and the suspicion became a certainty
yrsterdsy.
Thursday and Friday searching par
ties scoured eveiy foot of wood land for
miles around tbe city, but, strange to
say, no one suggested searching tbe
place where tbe body was foond at last.
Yesterday morning some one said,
Drag the lake at Lkevew." This is
a pretty little sheet of water at the
principal suburban resort of the citv,
only a half a mile from where the
Hawes family lived. A searching party
at onee went to the lake with drag
hooks and began tbe search. About
noon the body of Mrs Hawes was round.
It was lying oa tbe bottom of tbe lake
at the deepest part, about two bundrea
feet from tbe shore. A hasty examina
tion gave conclusive evidence of a doa
ble murder. The back of tba woman's
bead bad been split open by a blow with
an ax. securely fastened around tbe
neck was a piece of railroad iron, weigh
ing fifty pounds. Another weight was
tied to her waist and a third to her
ankles. The three pieces of iron weigh
150 pounds.
Like wild-fire the news of tbe find
spread over tbe city.
Birmingham. Ala., Dee. 9. A
crowd which bad been collecting on the
street for several boors last night, at
midnight advanced on tbe county jail
with the intention of lynching It. R.
Hawes. charged with the murder of bis
wire and child. Many of tbe best citi
zens tried to reason with the crowd, and
prevent iron Die ana some loat their lives
in the a tempt. When the crowd was
within a few feet or tbe jail door aod
bad failed to beed tbe numerous warn
ings the officers opened fire on them,
killng three men Instantly, fatally
wounding more or less seriously about
thirty others. It appears that tbe
Sheriff turoed a Gatling gun upoc the
mob, which caused so much destruc
tion. Col. Thomas G. Jones, of the Second
regiment, Alabama, State troops, ar
rived here tbis morning with five com
panies and is confident of bis abilitv to
prevent any further attempt at mob
violence. Tbere was much excitement
for a while last night, but it baa subel
ded somewhat to-day.
As the mob approached tbe alleyway
leading to tbe jail the officers inside
called on them to bait, which they did
not do. Tbe officers then fired with
Winchesters and pistols acd tbe flrlug
was terrific fer a f seen minutes on both
sids. Over 500 rounds were fired.
The zouaves and guards are now la
possession of all the street leading to
tbe jail.
The Fight SU1I Oa.
The education campaign baa been re
sumed in the Senate. Tbe first impulse
or the Democratic Senators was to let
the S-nate substitute for tbe Mills bill
to go through without opposition, tbere
being no probability of any joint legis
lation at this session, bat as the It-publicans
themselves were disposed to
amend tbe bill, the Democrats b ive now
taken op the disscuaeioo and will make
an effort at least to keep their record
straignt.
That tbe Senate Substitute was in
tended for campaign nse oniy is clearly
acknowledged in thb present attitude of
ire committee having It in cbaige. Mr.
Allison himself aays that it is very 1m
perfect and bas already begun amending
it at varroua essential points to meet
objections from bis own party. It la
not impossible than tbe whole character
of the measure may be changed before
11 gets inronga tbe senate.
Under these clreamitanees Mr. Vtst
is clearly right In bis declaration that
, the late election did not settle tbe tariff
and that the battle is still to be fought
oat. If It is to occupy the next foar
years it might aa well be resumed at
