CoNGRKSrMAV C'haki.ks 0'Xkii.l, the
Father of the House," who inherited
the mantle of thostliitinguishi'tl fellow-lVnn.-ylvHtiisns,
William I. Kelley ami
Samuel J. limi.hil!, diiil of pneumonia
nt his home in I'hilmh lphi.i, on Sutur
cliy afternoon. His fnt ajiearance on
the tloor of congress was on lecemttcr
7th, 1st".:?.
It is exis ted that Fn-siilent Cleve
land's iiiest:a;e to Congress will deal
fully with the financial olicy of the ad
ministration that the Keiniblii'im calam
ity wailers will find themselves deprived
of their principal argument the allega
tion that there is a ilouht aloiH the
financial intentions of tiie administra
tion. The message, together with the
new tariff hill will put those intentions
Ix'fore the puhlie so plainly that there
can le no misunderstanding and no
douht.
Politics and wages have been badly
mixed by Booth A Flynn, the l'ittsburg
contractors. Senator Flynn, a memler
of the firm, is chairman of the city
Republican committee. A week U-fore
the election he increased the wages of
his llXJ Liic-layco from $:i."0 to $1.00
a ilay. A week after the election notice
was servel that the former rate of $:?.o0
would be paid. To this the nun object
ed, and after holding several meetings,
decided to strike. They went out on
Monday.
Ukpokts from all sections of Eastern
I'ennsylvania state that the condition of
the growing wheat and rye is favorable,
and that both cereals are in excellent
condition for the winter season. The
agricultural class feel encouraged by the
fact that recent sales of farms show that
values have appreciated altoiit '2 jht
cent, over the prices realized for similar
properties six months ago. The general
eoii.-eiisus of opinion is that diversified
farming will take prominence in the
future, instead of depending solely upon
cereals.
As the slump into hard times prostra
ted the industries ami financial distress
was not the result of a few weeks only,
but of the evident tendencies of several
years, so that the rebound to a healthier
condition of affairs will be gradual and
slow. P.iit the rebound is taking place.
Things are brightening up. There is a
cheery ami crispy atmosphere in the
world of commerce ami tradis and in
dustries are beginning to feel t'..-it the
hour of danger is passed ami that they
may U'gin to launch out intoaction ami
progs. Slowly, hut surely, the good
times are coming and the calamity-howlers
cannot keep them back.
Evkky infant industry whose nursing
at the government breast has leen the
least particle interfered with by the pro
posed change in the tariff, will now lie
crying that the country is going to
hades. Meanwhile the common every
day people who have leeu standing on
their own Ixittom, making their own
living, while helping to keep up the pro
tected infants, will look candy on with
the firm conviction, that had the lusty
infants lx-en weaned y-Minger they
would have bellowed less. They have
been kept at the breast too long.
Iris ijuite unnecccssary, says the Phila
delphia Thnrs, for the members of the
monopoly trusts and combines or for the
over-protected manufacturers to tell us
that they will close their factories or cut
down wages when the Wilson tariff got
i nto effect. We have heard that over
and over again ami know just what to
expect every time. We all know, and
they know, that they are not going to
close their factories; and as to wages,
they w ill pay just as much as is neces
sary to obtain good workmen, and not a
cent more, tariff or no tariff.
Many of these same factories are closed
now, tinder the beneficent operation of
the McKinlev tariff; nearly all of them
have been cutting down wages, which
range lower than for many years past,
and still they can produce more goods
than they can find a profitable market
for. The Wilson bill proposes to enable
them to manufacture more cheaply ami
sell more goods by removing the taxes
from their materials and by promoting
the interchange of their products with
those of other countries. And yet they
raise the same old howl, declaring that
they are about to ! ruined ami that all
sorts of calamities will U fall the Ameri
can people.
The monopoly organs re-echo this old
parrot cry. They lo not stop to ex
amine the new tariff, or to weigh its
purpose and effect. They are committed
to the Chinese J)licy, under which com
binations of capital have made foituncs
at the cost of producers and consumers,
and any measures that overturns this
false system would le denounced by
them. We have heard the same old cry
so often that the country has grown
tired of it. We had the whole matter
threshed over a year ago, and the de
liberate judgment of the nation was
given for a new American policy.
That policy we are going to have. It
is embodied in the new tariff bill. It
will te enacted by Congress ami approved
by the President, and all engaged in le
gitimate industries will be the first to
profit by it. It will go into operation so
easily that it will only disturb by hasten
ing the iuiet and steady revival of in
dustrial activity which is already assured.
Before a year has passed we shall won
der, in our renewed prosperity, at the
fatuity that ever made possible so violent
an interfeience with the laws of trade ad
the now existing tariff.
Tiikre is no need of any great hurry,
says the Pittsburg I'o-t. hi discussing the
schedules of duties proposed by the new
tariff bill. We can afford to wait uutil
their details pass under the hands of ex
perts and are liable to realize just to
what extent the new system is
likely to increase or reduce in!orts:
what its effect will be on the public rev
enues, and what its probable indnence
on establi.-hed industri.. There will be
plenty of time for all that, in the. main
the bill seeks to maintain advalorem
rather than specific rates, the latter I ic
ing based on quantity and the former on
the more equitable basis of value. It
favors free raw material w henever prac
ticable. The bill includes the tariff
schedules and the administrative sec
tions, in many of which there is no
change from existing laws. Tariff bat
tles are generally waged over t few rep
resentative articles. The internal
revenue sections of the bill are as yet in
complete and will 1-e reported at a later
day. The income tax apenrs to le the
point of greatest controversy, and it is
U lieved tiie idea of an individual in
come tax has U-en abandoned, it will
be confined to corporations.
Iu the moderate reduction of duties ,
in thoM' protected industries that have
made a scandal of protection, the bill,
so far as we can judge of its rates, will
disapioint the more advanced revenue
reformers, as well as the Republican oj
ponents of any tariff change. This is
illustrated by the sugar schedule, sent
out Monday morning to head off the
SjK'Culators. It reduces the duty on re
fined sugar from one-half to one-quarter
of a cent a oiind, retains raw sugar on
the free list and reinals the iniquitous
sugar Umnty in installment so that it
will come to an end in eight years.
This is moderation, certainly, tigar
can be retined cheajer in this country
than abroad, and the quarter cent, duty
rctained may le low enough to permit
the element of foreign competition
against the exactions of the sugar trust.
Wool free of tax, w ith a corresponding
reduction of duties on woolen gils of
ail kinds, is the corner stone of tariff
reform. It is one that goes directly to
the purchasing power of the wages or
salary of every workingman and woman
in the land. The argument is so strong
that if we cannot carry free wind with
revenue duties on woolen fabrics we
might as well give up the ship. Thirty
years of excessive protection on wi-ol has
reduced the Hocks and the prices; it ha
not stayed the importation of foreign
wools, and the excessive cost it lias placed
on wools in comparison with outside
values has stimulated to an amazing de
gree the production of shoddy and all
otht T i heap sul-stiUites for hoiust and
healthful wool.
We are the greatest shoddy-producing
and shoddy-wearing people on the g!oU
In our northern staus, with extremes of
heat and cold, hom st woolen wear is al
most unknown to the poor man or wo
man. They cannot afford it la-cause of
the heavy taxis on raw wool, and then
on the finished product. The new bill,
identical with the Springer free wool bill
of last year, puts wool on the free list
and reduces the taxes on woolen goods
by one half in sonic cases and in others
by more. To the American working-
man this is as grand a gift as were free
breadstuffs and free provisions to the
English people at the hands of Peel,
Cobden and liright forty years ago.
In the metal si hedule iron ore goes on
the free list, while advalorem rates are
established for most articles. Ou steel
rails the duty is - jcr cent, and on
structural steel :." per cent, which would
make the specific rate on rails
about $5 a ton instead of $13.-11 and on
structural steel about SfS.75 instead of
$120. Pig and scrap iron and steel are
fixed at t!l2 A per cent, instead of $i.2 a
ton. The plate is put at -10 per cent,
and pig tin is on the free list. Taking
these representative articles ou the duti
able metal list, and the rates should
meet the approval of our Republican
friends, as they fully cover the dif ft renee
in wages at home and abroad, which is
all that the Minneapolis Republican
platform demanded.
Lumber is put on the free list, as well
as salt and other necessities of life. A.
a rule the duties are made lowest upun
the cheajK-r goods of universal use, and
highest upon articles of luxury. It is a
poor man's tariff bill, lather than the
creation of trust and monopoly.
The McKinley duty on steel rails is
R.-1 1 icr ton, or three and a half times
the difference between the lalxr cost at
home and the laltr cost in England, as
determined by Prt sident 1 Iai rison's com
missioner of lalxir. The recent history
of the rail industry, which lias U-en
controlled by a combination since Is7,
shows that a duty of $." would l ample
to compenstate for the difference l
tween conditions at home uiiit-oiuli-tions
abroad. Indeed, there are indi
cations that certain manufacturers could
sell rails profitably at a price which for
eign manufacturers could not meet in
this marVel even if there were no duty
whatever. The Wilson bill retim es the
duty to 2." jer cent. As English rails
could be landed at this jHirt, chargts
paid, and free of duty, for aUmt
this proposed duty is equivalent to about
$."., "i0 jut ton.
The Ways and Means tariff bill, which
will probably be known as the Wilson
bill, is, on the w hole, a satisfactory re
sjonse to the demands of the country.
The I 'emocratic administration and the
Democratic majorities in the two houses
of congress were chosen to give relief
from the high taxation imposed by the
McKinley act, and this bill is the re
sponse to the country's desire. The hill
generally is excellent. It has liech pre
pared with great care and entire con
sciousness. It goes very far and per
haps as far as it is iossible to goat once,
towards a complete fulfilment of Demo
cratic pledges. When it passes and te
coines a law a new and brighter era will
begin for American commerce and man-ufacture.

Washington !. C. Nov. l-:.
The coUi wavi has reminded the Presi

will it outline the policy of the adminis

the country was carried last year by

be satisfied except by such a plain sl ue
ment of the President's position as the
message is expected to contain. If Mr.
Cleveland simply wished to take the
popular side of this question, without
regard to the rightsaml wrongs involved,
he would of course stand on the side of
the revolution, and annexation, and al!
that is implied thereby. Put the Presi
dent has a fair and logical mimt, reason
ing mechanically and accur.il ly fr n

ter of details. Having thoroughly in
vestigated anil satisfied hime!f of the
justice of the case, he takes up his posi
tion iu utter disregard of the rant; rigs of
prejudice, or the clamor of ignorance.
It is much more (tillictilt in this instance
to do right than to tlo wrong, l-Jit we
may look to see the sober second
thought t'f the people sustain the Presi
dent in his endeavor to undo a wrong
done by our minister, and wipe out the
scandal which attaches to us by reason
of thellagrant di.r gaid of the rights of

AUut tiie most remarkable case of
deliberate ami pt rsi.-tent partisan blind
ness that has ccr boon i xhiMted in this
country, is shown by a glance al tin:
history of the last tim e year in connec
tion with the contemporary statements
of certain Republican politicians and
paj-ers. In J o iik- t.uitf act was
passed, and pronounced to ) m up
most delightful harmony with the party
platform of 1 .. l!ul lo! the congres
sional elections of that year came along.
and swept lit of public life nearly every !
man who was a prominent advocate of j
that measure. Put we didn't hear any- j
thing from Republican sources about !
the tariff tinkers U ing rebuked. It was j
caused by the influx of foieigners, or
the murdering of negroes, or the heavy
rainfall, or the great drouth, anything
and (-very thingso that it wasn't the ta:;lf.
Then came the presidential election of
1 '.:!. Every prominent man on loth
sides declared that protection was o:i
trial, and that the result must be accept
ed as t xprt sing the sentiments of the i
voters on this question. J'he Republi
can platform had declared for pro'.ee
tion, witti reciprocity for desert. Mr.
Harrison was in the fullest accord with
the platform. '1 he 1 t mocrats declared
for revenue only, and no public man
ever stood more squarely upon a ques
tion than had Mr. Cleveland for tie
years on tiie question of tariff reform.
There had been no business di prcssion,
no executive acts to Ik- rebuked, no for
eign complications to turn the people s
heads, and what w.iS the result? The
most overwhelming avalanche tnal ever
lore down a policy swept away the ad
vocates of the Mckinley bid. No can
didate ever carried so many states be
fore, and no President had ever before
received so many electoral voles as did
Mr. Cleveland, and yet not a single
statesman or paper opposed to his jniiiey
was frank enough to admit that it was
a rebuke to protectionists. Now, how
ever, when there has bet ti an election
in live or six states, at whic) not a .-in
gleotlicial Was elected w ho could inthl
ence national legislation, when the
panic which the Republicans had 1 -qtlt-athed
to us was still with us, when
purely local and not national isiies
were in the main iliscu-sed, the high
priests of the i. t. P. held a grand fes
tival and felicitate over the recent elec
tions as a great triumph for protection.

The numlier of cranks of both sexes
who visit Washington annually to prose

who fancied he had fallen heir to all the
land on which the city of Frankfort,
Ky., stood, and for many sessions he
was a very troublesome lobbyist, impor
tuning congress to pass a bill to rt store
him the dominions of his fathers.
Finally some of the iiiendx is made him
the subject of a cruel joke, by suddenly
announcing that his bill had passed, ami
by turning over to him a check on the
sergeantatarms for fifteen million dol
lars. The old man went into ecstacies
over the good news, and shook hands
with every liody in the capitol from the
coal-heavers in the basement to the
souvenir venders in the dome before he
discovered that it was a hoax, and then
lie procured a shot-gun and hunted for
several days for the inemlers who had
