Now the country is told that all that
is needed to assure prosperity is the pas
sage of the tariff bill. In other words,
work and wages cannot again become
active until the campaign contributors
get their money back.
The remains of Vm. S. I.aJd, a mil
lionaire who died in lJ'.1.'?, have been
stolen from the Kiverview cemetery,
Portland, O , with the expectation, it is
lielievetl, that a large reward will be
offered for their return.
Ex-Shnatuk In'oai.i., of Kansas, says
that "since the election I have been in
all parts of the country from San Fran
cisco to Hoston, From Montreal to At
lanta, and it is theconcurrect testimony
th:tt times have never leen harder nor
money scarcer than now." In contin
uinp he said that not one industry had
escaped. Kvery one is languishing,
lu'iits have been depreciated, incomes
are lower than they have been and there
is less of imerest returns and other pro
tit. Ii kim. the performance of Spark's
circus at Sutton, West Va., Friday, two
of tiie trained horses began fighting, and
one rushed over the ropes and upon the
seats through a crowd of women and
children, causing a panic. A laj-ge
number were injured, two fatally, lle!-
n Ilerry and Minnie Allman, both be
in; trampled upon. Holes" were cut in
the tent, through which many escaped.
A mob of citizens threatened to destroy
the outfit, but order was restored when
the manager was arrested.
Vkky few persons except perhaps coal
merchants anil shippers are aware of the
enormous increase in the production of
oituminous coal in the United States
during the past years, and more prac
tically during the past two or three
years. The annual report of the United
States Geological Survey for 18'..-C, un
der the head of "Mineral Resources,"
gives a table showing the annual pro
duction of bituminous and anthracite
c al from Is to IS'.'o inclusive. In
1-Mi the output of bituminous coal was
million tons; iu 1S'.5 It was a 1''0
million tons. The output of authracite
coal in 1:i was o million tons; in
l'.'.j it was "1 million tons.
Nniuii.v in l'eunsylvania wants to be
taxed any more than at present, in con
sequence of which the financiers of the
Legislature are in sore straits. The
scheme to tax leer has been knocked
on the hvad: ditto the scheme to in
crease the tax on corporations; the
farmers agiee with the oleo men in op
posing a tax on their product: the plan
to take money from the cities to replen
ish the state treasury died at birth,
and so of all the schemes to increase the
state's revenues.
There is a very simple way of solving
the revenue problem by pruning the ap
propriations to tit the present revenues.
This plan doesn't seem to have occurred
to the legislature yet, aud until it does
the legislature is going to be in trouble.
The search for somebody willing to
pay more taxes is likely to be about as
fruitless as the search for the North pole.
Wim.i: they have just commenced
harvesting wheat in California and Tex
as, and have only finished planting in
the northwestern states and Manitoba,
f-I-eculations on the prices and crops for
the year are in full blast. The crop ex
rts piedict that the crop of liS'.t? will
sell for somewhere between Co and 75
cents in New York. The situation in
brief, as at present discernible, is that
the French and Knglish crojs of wheat
will amount to comparatively little in
affecting prices, while Australia, Jndia
and Aigeutina will not have wheat .fo
exix.rt. American wheat therefore will
come in competition only with wheat
from Lussia and the Danubian pro
vim s.The reserves of wheat all over the
world have been reduced to the mini
mum. I5ut there is no telling what
may happen the growing crops in the
great wheat producing sections of this
continent. Speculations as to prices
and crops are interesting but not relia
ble.
A Laick numlier of well meaning per
sous cannot be induced to believe laboi
saving machinery is anything but
curse to the country, notwithstanding
census rejiorts ami the evidence of their
own senses. Their contention is tha
such machinery deprives men of work
and lessens their wages.
Under authority of a law enacted b
congress the United States department
of lUr, a ftw years ago, prepared a re
pi.rt showing the effect of the employ
ment of machinery, which report pus
tained every contention in favor of ma
thinery. It was shown that increased
production and decreased cost did not de
bar employment of labor nor curtail its
wages, t.ut the exact opposite. For in
stauce, in the carpenter business there
were employed in 1SS0 53,517 men at
an average annual wage of f 4"i each,
while in IM'O there were employed 140,
021 carpenters who earned $675. In the
making of funiture there were employed
in 1?U 55.M1 persons at f 453 per an
num; in IS'.ti there were employed in
the business I 2, 504 persons at 527.
And this in spite of, or rather as a re
sult of, the use of labor saving machin
ery, for the machine worker earns more
than the hand worker.
The latest census report of manufac
tures shows: Number of establish
ments reporting 10, 253.S52; 1890,
:;.5,401. Average number of employ
es Ism), 2,r,32.5'.5; IS'.h), 4,711,832
Total wages 1S80, t'J47,953.7t5; 18l0,
$2,22lS23,2t;5. So long as census re
ports and oihcial investigations continue
to show such improvement in labor the
public cau view labor saving machinery
f,-ilh the Eerenest conlldence.
The following are some of the ecm
ments of a" man well acquainted with
linens and the linen industry upon the
senate doctored Diugley bill:
The proposed duties ou linen goods
mnder the amended Diulgey bill are
heavier than ever, although it had been
claimed that the senate had reduced
rates. These goods paid for many years
85 ir cent and yielded a steady reve
nue to the government. The rates.now
proposed vary from 50 to 109 per cent,
and the burden falls heaviest on low
aud medium goods, which are chiefly
used iu the home of the poorer people.
A cheap tableclotU uow selling at re
tail at 23 cents per yard will have to be
sold at 37 a cents to 40 cents if the
quality be kept up.
Medium linen for children's summer
blouses will be assessed Jl!4 percent,
and the retail price will have to go up
accordingly.
Linen forms the raw material for
many American industries, as linings
for clothing and other purposes where
strength and durability are required.
Such goods will be advanced 20 to 30
per cent.
It is claimed that this advance is nec
essary for revenue, but the effect will be
that the people will iu many cases substi
tute something cheaper, and thus be de
prived of this useful fabric, and the reve
nue will be correspoudingly diminished.
It is said that linen goods can be made
here, but this has been tried again aud
again, aud except iu the case of a few
low crashes has been a failure, owing to
the climate and other difticulties, but
even if they could be mado here the
rates are unnecessarily oppressive. The
entire cost of weaving linen goods iu
Europe is about 7,Sj to 10 ir cent the
selling price of the article here, and in
America the cost should not be at the
very outside more than double this per
centage, ) that, even if Republican
theories be true, a protection of 35 per
cent should be ample to allow for high
er wages and extra profits for our man
ufacturers. It is possible speculators may start
mills ou the strength of these excessive
rates, sell the stock, aud then step out,
leaving the unfortunate laborer and
manufacturer to face the difficulties of
the situation as best they cun. The la
borer probably, having been brought
here from Europe (for labor is on the
free list), with unreasonable expecta
tions, will bo left to Join the army of
disappointment and discontent. Why
should these exorbitantly high rates be
assessed ou au article more or less in
use in every household in the land, aud
the cost of living so much increased in
these days of keeu competition and
small profits? Why should the plain peo
ple be taaed to put more money in the
pockets of the rich? If the wealthy
manufacturers want to make experi
ments, let them do so at thir own cost,
nt tax the poor for that purpose.
We are assured by Tho Sugar Trade
Journal of May 13 organ of the Sugar
trust that "if ever a monopoly existed
in the sugar refining business it exists
no longer, and it is not likely that it
will ever be renewed." This is delight
ful news. The Journal was discussing
an amendment to the senate bill to have
refined sugars pay tho same duties as
raw sugars in cases where the manufac
ture is controlled by a monopoly. If this
"visionary proposal" should pass the
senate, it would jeopardize the tariff
bill aud the Sugar trust's tens of
millions of surplus profits, which are so
near at hand that tho mouths of Ilave
nieyer and Searles are watering for them.
Tho Sugar trust trembles at the prosjject
and tries to keep up its courage by buy
ing its organ inform the world that "A
Ipt of such visionary proposals will, no
doubt, be introduced while the bill is
under discussion, but in the end the
sound judgment men will control aud a
tariff bill be passed without very much
change from the senate schedule."
The trust may be right. It usually is,
for it can predict what will happen to
the sugar schedule of the senate bill. It
knows what demands will be mado by
its agents and tools in the sena'.e, and
it also knows the power of those who
make demands to enforce them. It puts
$70,000,000 against the interests of 70,
000,000 people, and it kuows from ex
perience which has most weight in the
senate, where two or three hold the bal
ance of power.
No, there is no sugar trust and never
was one.

The California argument for higher
fruit duties is a sort of perpetual mo
tion. Tho only disadvantage the Cali
fornian fruit raiser is at is to be found
in the cost of bis land, but the only
thing that makes his laud expensive is
tho profitableness of fruit culture.
So the matter works out in this way:
The great profits of fruit raising sent
the value of laud up to hundreds of dol
lars au acre. The interest on the value
of the laud makes a large item in a
fruit raiser's balance sheet, and he feels
the need of a high price for his fruit.
This Senator Jones procures for him by
letting it be known that he will not
vote for the tariff bill unless it contains
duties on hides aud Increased duties on
fruit and tho cheupest sorts of wool.
The increased duty adds to the piofits
of fruit culture, and the price of laud
takes another rise, whereupon the fruit
grower complains thut tho interest on
his land investment is so great or the
rental he has to pay for his land is so
high that there is an insufficient profit
in the business for him. and the only
thing that will save him from disaster
is more duty.
Logically this process can be carried
on indefinitely. Practically it cannot,
because with the increase In the price
of fruit the consumption of fruit will
decline. The consumer will be wors
off for the change. The grower, so far
as he is not to be considered as a land
owner, will be no better off, but the
value of the land will be as high as the
profits of fruit culture will permit

The trusts have a cinch on Dingley
bill profits. Of course they will make
many times mere if the bill becomes
law in anything like its present shape,
but tbey are already engaged in taking
part of their profits.
Sugar has risen considerably in antic
ipation of greatly increased duties,
and merchants all otct the country are
laying in stores because still higher
prices are expected. The Sugar trust is
couw-quently busy and rolling up profits.
In April it import-d 757.799,527 pounds
of raw sugar, valued at 114,747, 139. An
extra profit of one-half cent per pound
on this amount which is already real
ized or guaranteed means nearly $4,
000,000 to the trust.
If the bill is two months longer in its
passage, the trust will surely pocket
fl 0,000.000 extra profits before the bill
becomes law. Who says protection is
not a good thing? And why shouldn't
Senator Aldrich push it along and in
turn get his street railway syndicates
pushed along by the Sugar trust? Isn't
this reciprocity? Wouldn't Aldrich be
an ingrate if he should desert bis friends
and backers when be has an opportuni
ty to help them?
The law is invariable thut the unpro
tected must pay the ultimate cost for
I he protection tf the protected. David

Vt avluotflon Letter. -
Washington, Msv 20. 1S07. The gag
rule of I he caucus has been applied to
Republican senators in order to hid
their tariff differences from the public.
They must do all their kicking liefore
the steerinir committee, with the privi
lege of appealing to the caucus when the
committee decides against them, but
they must follow the committee on the
floor of the senate. It remains to be
seen whether this gag role can be made
to work.
One of the most notable things about
the opening of the tariff debate was the
Republican acknowledgement that, in
stead of the prosperity they promised,
the business of the country was in an
awful condition. Of course they claim
that everything will boom after the tar
iff bill becomes a law.
Havemeyer, the king of the sugar
trust, is now being trieJ for contempt,
for refusing to answer questions asked
by a senate committee. The trial at
tracts a crowd daily.
Senator vest opened his short tariff
speech by saying: "There will be no
factious opposition to the passage of this
bill. We know the desperate condition
of this country, the ruined homes, the
blasted hearts. If prospority can come,
even from our political opponents, we
will not only welcome it, but we will
bless the moment when it comes; but I
do not believe that higher tariff duties
will bring back the sunshine and illu
minate the country," and closed with
the following: "If our friends can
bring relief, if they can shed light upon
our darkened path, I will hail it no
matter in whose hands may be the lamp
Give us prosperity; relieve the people.
Put blood again in the veins of the tor
pid country. Do this, and I will ac
cept the boon, no matter whence it
comes. ' '
In proposing a tariff amendment pro
viding for a bounty on agricultural ex
ports Senator Cannon, of Utah, took oc
casion to utter this significant threat:
"If the bill shall fail to give some
measure of justice to the farmer, I shall
do all in my power to overthrow it at
the Urst opportunity."
Representative Intz of Ohio, who is
willing to be the Democratic candidate
for governor, says of the outlook: "The
Democratic chances for carrying the
state could hardly be bettered. Unless
the wrong man is put at the head of
the ticket. The Democrats, with the aid
cf the Populists and free silver Repub
licans, will, in my judgment, easily beat
Mark Hanna and the administration.
It will be a case of a political aval
anche sweeping them off the face of the
political sphere. The Republicans had
a bitter dose of defeat at the spring elec-
iiono. Dut mat wasn't a eitcumstaoce to
the bitter pill they will swallow this
fall."
An important conference was held in
Washington this week, those in attend
ance being President Black. Treasurer
Clark, Secretary Gardner, and Represen
tee McMillin, chairman of the execu
tive committee, of the national associa
tion of Democrwtic cluls. The confer
ence was held to arrange the details for
carrying out the plan adopted by the ex
ecutive committee of the association at
its meeting last month, relative to a
thorough organization of the Democrat
ic clubs throughout the country. Work
will be started at once in Maryland,
Ohio. New Jersey, Virginia, Iowa and
Massachusetts, thosestates receiving Urst
attention because they are to hold im
portant elections this year.
The promotion of Representative Mc
Laurin to the senate to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of the late Senator
Earle, of S. (.;., until the legislature
meets and elects a senator, was highly
pleasing to the Democrats in congress,
with whom Senator McLaurin is de
servedly popular.
The choiciest bit of pie handed out
this week by Mr. McKinley was grabbed
up by an "ex", as usual, ex-congressman
and Ex Minister to Brazil Conger,
of Iowa, being again nominated to fill
the last named position. Mr. Conger
serveu in congress with Mr. McKinlev.
like so many of the others who have
iern provided for.
The friends of Cuba feel that they
have ls?en buncoed by the administra
tion, and they are disposed to hold Mr.
McKinley responsible. It is true that
he did not iK-rsonally make any promi
ses, but promises were made by those
who came as near to claiming to speak
for him as it was possible without actu
ally doing so, that it was the intentiou
of Mr. McKinley to speedily put into
operation his policy, which the speakers
declared would make Cuba independent.
Those promises secured pledges from Re
publican memlers of the house that
they would aid in preventing the senate
belligerency resolution from being
brought U fore the house until Mr. Mc
Kinley had been given ample time to do
something. Now it is ascertained that
it may be weeks, even months, te
fore Mr. McKiuley acts upon the policy
which he has in mind, if he really has
Dnrraut to be Hanged.

Atlantie Citv. X. J . May 31. Mrs
Phoebe H. Philips, proprietress of the I
Kennett house on Ocean avenue, was J
shot and fatally wounded by her alli-
anced husband, R bert llibbert, in ne
kitchen of her home, altout 11 o'clock
to-day. Mrs Phillips is 43 years of age,
a widow, and has three children, the
oldest of whom is about the same age as
Hibbert. The latter is a mechanic.
The woman and llibbert became ac
quainted in Kennett Square, Pa , three
years ago, and since that time have pre
served the most intimate relations,
They were to have been married to-nior-row.
Saturday Hibbert went to Phila
delphia and purchased a revolver, dis
claiming, however, any intention of
harming her. This morning he entered
the kitchen where she was engaged and,
telling her it was time to quit, shot her
four times, twice behind the right ear,
once in the right arm and once in the
body. He then attempted to take his
own life, but a defective cartridge foiled
his purpose. Failing in this, he deliv
ered himself into the hands of the po
lice, where he is now held, awaiting the
result of Mrs Phillip's injuries.
In ner ante mortem statement, taken
at the city hospital, Mrs. Phillips said
that Hibbert must have been crs.v. and
she forced the ollicials to promise her
that they would not hang him should
she die. Her death is momentarily ex-
pec tea.
A Strange Pinner.
Ferhaps the most remarkable dinner
on record was that given by an intiqua
ry named Goebel, in the city of Brus
sels. At the dinner were apples that ripened
more than 1800 years ago, bread made
from wheat grown liefore the children of
Israel passed through the Red Sea, and
spread with butter that was made when
Elizalieth was queeu of England. The
repast was washed down with wine that
was old when Columbus was playing
with the boys of Genoa.
The apples were from an earthen jar
taken from the ruins of Pompeii. The
wheat was taken from a chamber in
one of the pyramids, the butter from a
stone shelf in an old well in Scotland,
where for several centuries it had lain
in an earthen crock in icy water, and
the wine was recovered from an old
vault in the city of Corinth.
There were six guests at the table, and
each had a mouthful of the bread and a
teaspoonful of the wine, but was per
mitted to help himself tountifully to
the butter, there being several pounds
of it. The apple jar held about two
thirds of a gallon. The fruit was sweet,
and as finely flavored as if it had been
preserved but a few mouths.

Ixwell, Mass., May 30 The bodies
of Maria and Franees Butler, two un
married women, about 50 years of age,
who resided in this city for about 1C
years, were found on the kitchen floor
of iheir home yesterday.
Both, apparently, had leen dead for
several hours from asphyxiation by gas,
and it is believed they committed sui
cide on account of heavy financial
losses due to the failure of several banks
in Nasua. The women were sisters, and
were nieces of the late United States
Senator Grimes, of Iowa, from whom
they inherited the property believed to
have been lost.
Everything about the house indicated
the deliberation with which the suicide
had been planned. After the windows
had been fastened the lamps were ex
tinguished and the chimneys removed.
The women were seen by neighbors
yesterday afternoon, wh en they seemed
as cheerful as usual. They were appar
ently, much devoted to each other.
They were considered jectiliar, es
pecially as regards their custom to trav
el to some extent every summer, and in
this way they had seen much of the
country.

Swapping Free llitlen For Imtiable Sugar.
"The senate tariff bill as a whole,"
says ex Congressman John De Witt
Warner, "is a notice to eastern manu
facturers of what they may hereafter
exix'ct. Hitherto they have considered
protection as a sort of providential ar
rangement by which they were enabled
to feed on tho rest of the country. Now,
like Polonius in 'Hamlet, they are in
vited by 'a certain convocation of olitic?
worms' to a supper 'not where they eat,
but where they are e:.ten. ' The manu
facturers of New England, New York
and Pennsylvania are to take their turn
at being mulcted for the benefit of oth
ers who now control legislation. This
applies especially to the hide schedule. "
"Cannot tho New England senators
secure favorable changes iu that sched
ule?" "I think not. The bill as it stands is
satisfactory to the Sugar trust and prob
ably cannot be kept so except by the
votes controlled by the Cattle trust of
tho west. Were the New England sena
tors willing to risk offending tho Sugar
trust, they could doubtless defeat the
duty on hides, but the fact is that Bos
