sMech on the Dinglcy bill in which he
said ttiat if they could collect o cent on
every '-cabbage-head'' that voted for
Mi Kuiley they could pay the national

Fi.om all reports, says the Williams-
port Tim', the mine investigating com
mittee was little else than a junketing
tour to satisfy curiosity and enjoy the
luxurits by the wayside at the expense
of the state. The condition of affairs
generally is that starvation exists to a
greater degree than the dawn of pros-p-irty
and ttie fact of coal prices being
unchanged to the consumer is enough
to satisfy any right thinking tierson that
the miners are roblied and starved by
the gre:ii.-oa! combination.
The committee, however, did not in
vestigate that far. They merely made
the discovery that the miners were in
many instances in a deplorable
condition and all the committee could ox
would do was to say: Oh, my! submit
ttieir report and draw their pay.
Thk Harrishurg correspondent of the
l'itthurg Ii)ttrh, Ken., says: 'This

Alie future. ,
The seiiar" is now engaged in remedy
ing the .-mu'l imperfections of tlinDina
ley bill, which, as all good protection
ists assert, is one of the best tariff bills
ever drafted. It distributes its blessings
to all farmer, latiorer and manufac
turer. Without doubting the pood inten
tions of the makers, we wish to surest
one or two minor details which might
possibly help the bill to fulfill the ex
pectations of its authors:
First. Lu bin's export bounty scheme
might enable the farmer to get a small
slice of the benefits of protection. Of
course the farmer doesn't expect espe
cially at first to get as much of the j
benefits as thc manufacturers have been
getting for 30 years. A protection of
about 20 per cent that is 10 cents per
bushel on wheat. 5 cents ou corn, etc.
would satisfy him, while it takes four
times as much to satisfy ordinary tariff
infants.
This small export duty would not
make good the farmer's loss because of
import dnties on manufactured prod
acts, saying nothing about paM losses,
but in course of time, after his industry
had felt the stimulating effects of real
protection "what protects," the farmer
might master up courage enough to fol
low the example of Oliver Twist
which example has grown into a cus
tom with protected interests and ask
for "more." Possibly also he might
form political trusts or combines to de
maud "more" and raise millions of dol
lars to send lobbies to Washington to
bribe congress. While protection is in
order export duties are the farmer's on
ly hope. With them he may hope not
only to change his losses to profits, but
also to regain that power and tKisition
which were once his, but which have
long Mure passed into the hands of the
manufacturers.
Second. It is also fitting to recognize
the laborer in the distribution of tariff
profits. Like the farmer, he now puts
bis hand into his pocket to help swell the
profits of protectiou, practically none
of which comes his way. It is not au
easy matter to equalize the benefits
of protection so that the working-man
shall get his full share. A prohibitive
duty ou imported labor might iu the
course of time afford some protection
by restricting the supply of labor, so
th:t . manufacturers could carry out
their good intentions (expressed when
asking for higher duties) aud pay
"American wages to American work
ingmeu. "
At present the condition of working
men in the protected industries is pitia
ble iu the extreme. The Philadelphia
Ledger, a good Republican paper, told
us about May 1 that in the protected
iron and conl industries of Pennsylvania
the wage rate has been reduced so low
"that it is scarcely sufficient to provide
the necessaries of decent, sanitary liv
ing." It says"tho lowest classes of
alien cheap labor swarm in the iron and
coal districts of the state," and the com
petition for work is so fierce "that they
contend, not against the employers for
the highest wages, but among each
other for the lowest?" "As appears by
the testimony presented to ttie legisla
tive committee, they herd in squa
lor, subjects of abject penury, and are
beset by di-ease, dirt and hunger." The
Ledger thinks our immigration laws
are "defective and improvident" and
KOggests that "to properly protect
American workmen congress should
pass an immigration as well as-a tariff
hill." This is a good idea and should
lie acted upon at once. The only wonder
is that some of the good manufacturers
in their anxiety to protect and raise the
wages of their workiugmen, did not
think of this plan before. Tlien, if they
should have a law passed which should
make it compulsory for them to give at
least one-half of their protection and
monopoly profits to their employees,
protection would begin to Le an all
around blessing. The manufacturers
might still be getting the lion's share,
but they would not get all
Wheu these changes are made in the
bill, it will undoubtedly be what the
New York Tribune declared its proto
type, the McKiuley bill, to be "the
bravest and best tariff bill ever passed."
Will thev be made? Bvrou W. Holt.
Wlien the tariff bill was about to be
framed, the Republican leaders stated
that they desired to be moderate aud to
avoid anything like excessive rates. Jlr.
Aldrich, when introducing the amended
measure into the senate, claimed that
his rates were gem-rally lower than
those of the house bill. The linen
schedule, however, is a notable one of
many exceptions. In it the senate rates
are higher than those i f the house aud
much higher than anything ever before
known.
Under the McKiuley bill of lb'.tO lin
ens were assessed 35 tier cent, with a
few exceptions as high as 50 per cent
ad valorem. Under the rates proposed
by the senate a large projiortiou of the
goods in everyday use will be assessed
from 65 to 85 per cent and in some
cases over 100 per cent. The following
'able shows some of the changes iu the
test of medium and low grade linens:

The domestic manufacturers in whose
interests these changes are suptiosed to
be made have stated that they do not
deserve over 50 jier cent duty on linen
goods, and one of the principal manu
facturers of linen and cotton handker
chiefs in America (of Achesou, Harden
& Co., Passaic, N. J. ) states that he does
not desire any advance of duty on his
goods.
The gross injustice of these duties
can be appreciated when it is remem
bered that, owing to climatic coudl
tious, good fiber flax cannot be grown
or linen manufactured successfully in
this country, and when It is further re
membered that the kind of linen taxed
is the kind that is used by the poorest
classes, while a much lower duty is put
on the finer grades.
That must have been embarrassing
information to the United States senate
which Statistician Carroll D. Wright fur
nished that body last week concerning
the labor cost of lumber in this country
and in Canada. His figures showed that,
while the average wages in Canadian
sawmills is $1.41 and $1.71 per day
here, the average labor cost of 1,000
feet of lumber is f 1.28 in Canada and
only 81 cents here. The decreased cost
of production in this country is attrib
uted to the superior machinery used.
Of course the figures prove the frve
trade contention that the rate of wages
paid does not indicate the cost of pro
duction that low wages are very often
more expensive to employers, and vice
versa. But these hard facts furnished
by an officer of the government will not
dissuade the lumber barons from their
purpose to get a tariff on Canadian lum
ber so that they can the more effectually
rob American consumers. Protectionists
care nothing for facts. What they want
ia u license to steal. National Single

Washington Letter.
Washington, June lioth, 1.7 Hon.
Win. J. Rryan received considerable at
tention in the senate this week. Sena
tor Allen started it by risiug to ft
persou.l explanation and deuy
nyiog in the most p-si live terms the
charge that Mr. Bryan's offer of l.o(H)
from the proceeds of his b.)ok, was ac
companied by a stipulation that the
next populist natioual convention
should take uo action against a fusion
of the supporters of silver. He added
that the draft for the money had lieeu
sent to him personally, anil after Seua
tor Hitler, chairman of the populist
national committee, decliued to accept
it he (Allen), at ttie suggestion of Mr.
Bryan, invested the money to lie useu
in the interest of bimetalhsn. Senator
Butler confirmed the statement of Sena
tor Allen that the money hid been giv
en without condition, and said ttiat
while he Hpproved Mr. Bryan's motive
he felt that the acceptance of the money
might lie open to misconstruction, aud
had therefore decliued it. I -iter that
dyed-in-the-wool Republican, Senator
Hoar said: "I have a good deal of re
spect for Mr. Bryan. His character has
impressed me very tavoiauiy, anu i ume
never joined iu criticisms upon him;
nd Senator Stewart cliucneii tilings ny
remarking: " It is no use criticising
Bryan, as he's going to lie tue uexi
president."
There were no new developments con
nected with either the annexation treaty
or the McKiuley Cuban policy this week.
The treaty has teen protested agaiusl l.y
Japan and referred to a sub-corn mittee
of the senate committee of foreign rela
tions, and will in due time probably
next winter lie favorably rejiorted, and
Senator Morgan has introduced a bill
for annexation, harly in the week
'here was talk of an agreement in the
senate to hang up the tariff bill until
Czar Keed allowed the house to vote on
the Morgau Cuban resolution, but it is
not likely that anything will come of it.
Nothing more amusing than :enator
Foraker's forcing of Senator Allison and
his colleagues of the Republican steering
committee to meet the demands of the
wool-growing states in the wool sched
ule of the tariff bill has occurred during
the consideration of the bill. And it
was done on the tloor of the senate in
open session, and not in the secrecy of
committee room, Allison seldom
loses his temper, but when Foiaker ac
cused him of double dealing aud trick
ery, he did. Senator Piatt, of Conn., a
Republican memtier of the h nance com
mittee, attempted to go to the rescue of
Allison, but Foraker quickly disposed of
him by telling him that he had himself,
at Foraker's dictation, written the very
amendment which he denied ever hav
ing heard of. This so crushed PUtt
that he humbly apohgized, saying that
he might have been mistaken. Sena
tor Teller expressed his concurrence.
Senator Mantle said: "if 1 were to
search through the whole domain of
poetry and prose nothiug could be found
that would so fitly characterize the wool
schedule as these familiar words of Bret
Harte'e
"Yet the cards thev were stocked
In a way that I ftrieve.
T And my feeliints were shocked
At ttie. State of Nye's sleeve;
It was stutTed full of acrfs ai.tl bowers,
CZi The same with intent to deceive.'
"I think the bill," continued Senator
Mantles, "so far a it relatts to the wool
growers is stuffed full of aces and bowers
with the full purpose and intent of de
ceiving ttie wool growers of the coun
try." Later on the same day Senator
Allison, on lebalf of the committee,
made an abject surrender aud offered
the amendment demanded, and it was
adopted by a vote of to 1 although
ttie previous vote, which has so irritated
the wool men had been . to 13.
Mr. Ca!houu having demonstrated by
an amended wr.tten report on his visit
to Cuba that he had the knack of meet
ing presidential objections when they
are made known to him, has bi'en offer
ed the position of comptroller of the
treasury, now held by Mr. Bowler, of
Ohio, the gentleman who gained much
notoriety during the early part of the
Clevelaud administration by setting him
self up as the ouly Poobah of the gov
eminent. Although Mr. Calhoun hails
from Illinois, neither Senator Cullom
nor Senator Mason knew that this tKisi
tion was to lie offered him uutil after it
was done.
