THE FTTTSBintG DISPATCH. FBmiY. JUNE 8 18921
HARD SAHES CALLED
By Senator Stewart in His Remarks
on the Silver Coinage Bill.
'HI SATS THEY ARE ALL BOBBERS.
Tnrpie Bays Eeciprocitj's Neither Blaine
Nor Harrison's Idea.
OLDER THIS EITHER OF TUE GENTLEMEN
VTASHnrOTOS', June 2. There was an
tmusn&lly imall attendance of Senators
present when to-day's morning business be
gan. The silver bill Senators were almost
all at their posts. Mr. Sherman was in his
seat, and so was Mr. Allison, whose motion
the Senate agreed to, to adjourn from to
day till Monday next Notices were given
by Mr. Vest, of his intention to address the
Senate on Monday next, on the wool tariff
bill, and Mr. Morgan, of his intention to
speak on free coinage, or the silver bill, on
Tuesday.
The resolution offered yesterday bv Mr.
Turpie, calling for the correspondence with
Haiti, Colombia and Venezuela in regard
to reciprocity, was taken up, and Mr. Turpie
addressed tht Senate upon it. He said
there had recently been a race for popular
favor between two statesmen as to which of
the twain was entitled to the honor of having
devised the scheme of reciprocity. It had
been found, however, that neither of those
very prominent statesmen could lay the
slightest claim to the invention or dis
covery of that policy. Eeciprocity treaties
dated back to 1703, when what was known
as the Methucn treaty was entered into be
tween Great Britain and Portugal, apply
ing to only two products, the wools ot Eng
land and the wines of Portugal.
Other Old Reciprocity Treaties.
Other recent reciprocity treaties had been
that between France and England and that
between the United States and Canada.
But under the late so-called reciprocity
treaties with South America, the Secretary
of State had substituted his own power for
that or Congress. "Wliosoever's taic3 he
i emits, they are remitted; and wliosoever's
taxes he retains, they are retained."
The speaker drew an imaginary sketch of
the tate ot Colombia (Inclining to take part
In "Mi. Blaine's grand exhibition of shitting
tableaux" and saying, "Excuse ns for de
clining to aid in the performance; we do not
wish to furnish either color, space or room
for that exhibition, and wo especially de
cline the part of acting either as supernu
meraries or ushers at such indifferent enter
tainment." He compaied the diplomacy or
shreds and patches, the financial policy of
scraps with the broad and liberal policy of
tree trade with all nations offered by the
Democratic party of the United States, and
declared that the purpose of reciprocity was
not cotnmeicial but wholly political.
At the close ot Mr. Turpie's speech, the
resolution was adopted. At S o'clock the
bill to provide for the freo coinage or sold
and silver was laid befoie tlie Senate, and
3Ir. Stewart resumed his argument in sup
port or it.
Surprised at Sherman's Course.
He expressed his surprise at Mr. Sher
man's statemont on Tuesday last, that he
had been in lavor of the Bland-Allison bill.
That eui prise was caused by his (Mr. Stew
ait's) familiarity with the views expiessod
by the Senator from Ohio on that subject
while he was Secretary of the Treasury. Mr.
Sherman had criticised that hill in three
elaborate reports and had urged its repeal,
and yet he had told the Senate the other day
that it was a good bill, and that ho ap
proved it.
It seemed to Mr. Stewart that Mr. Sher
man's remaiks were very detective, or else
that his prophesies and predictions were
not very valuable. That Senator had told
the Senate that free coinage of silver would
bring the country to a silver standard, Just ;
as he had jnredloted that the Bland sot
would do. The present law, Mr. Stewart de
clared, would do worse than that. The
Ian of 1S90, which Mr. Sherman approved to
day, but might not approve to-morrow,
would Inevitably bring the country to a
paper standard, or to the market valne
standard or silver, because It waa going to
be utterly Impossible to maintain gold pay
ments under existing law.
Mr. Ulggins asked Mr. Stewart If he pre
ferred that the country should eome to a
silver basis.
The Present Policy Condemned.
.Mr. Stewart I would prefer anything
rather than have the people enslaved by at
tempting to reduce the whole world to the
narrow basis of gold. Thera li over $100,000,-
000 of silver in the Treasury, and the law
makes silver coin a legal tender equally
with gold. I would reverse the policy of
the administration, which has reversed the
law. There has not oeen for the last So years
any gold obligation on the Government, and
it is the duty of the Seoretary of tho Treas
ury to ledeem the paper of the Government
in that currency which Is most convenient.
1 say that the present policy under existing
law will reduce us not only to a silver basis,
but to the commercial urlce of silver, be
cause it is impossible to maintain, on the
present volume of gold, the existing credit
labile of the world.
In the course of his argument Mr. Stewart
ridiculed Mr. Sherman's expression of
sympathy for the working classes and for
tho pensioners. "Sympathy!" he exclaimed.
"There is not blood enough in all or the gold
trust men for one mosquito." It would not
do, he said, for those robbers (they were
notnm else), to claim lor tneinseives an
honesty. Honesty would be banished from
tho world when the crime of 1873 was Justl
Bed. How long the people wonld submit to
such robbery he did not know, but while he
lived he would continue to warn them. He
had bean often told that he was throwing
away his time in telling the truth, but he did
not believe it. He believed that the country
would have free coinage of silver, and would
have it in the near future.
A Recess Taken Till Monday.
At the close of Mr. Stewart's speech the
siU er bill went over without action.
The xesolution reported from the Finance
Committee for a committee of Ave Senators
to inquire whether the law relatUe to
National banks furnishes sufficient protec
tion to depositors and other creditor?, and
to investigate recent failures ot national
banks, and any other violation of law or ir
regularities was agreed to, and Messrs.
Chandler, Uigglns, l'effer, Harris and Mc
Fherson wei e appointed.
The Senate then proceeded toexeoutlve
business, and at 4 o'clock adjourned till
Monday next.
In the House this morning about one dozen
leaves or absence were granted, chiefly to
Republicans, the cause assigned being "im
poitant business." The House went Into
committee of the whole, Mr. Buchanan, of
Virginia, In the chair, on the postofflce ap
propriation bilL Mt. Blount, of Georgia
offered an amendment reducing by !,349,000
the appi opriatiou for inland transportation
by railroad routes, and authorizing the
Postmaster General to readjust tne compen
sation to be paid after July 1, 1893, for the
transportation of mails on rail load routes
by reducing the compensation to railroad
companies for the transportation of mails
10 per cent lrom the rates based on the
weight fixed and allowed by the act of June
17, 1878. Pending action the committee rose.
The House then adjourned.
PAID FOE HEE POSITION.
A Toung Lady Who Gave 85 Per Cent of
Her Salary for Inflaenes.
TYASniKGTOX, June 2. Miss Ida Creagan, at
present a clerk in the Census Bureau, stated
belore the House Census Committee to day
that she had first been appointed for three
monthS. She bad received $50 a month. For
the first two months she bad paid to Miss
Conover, a relative of Chief Clerk
Childs, 12 60 a month of her salary.
She had done so because Miss Conover
said that she would endeavor to have her
retained. v ltness had Deen reappointed at
the inj.ta.nce or Senator Manderson.and was
not paylns any person any part of her Bal
my now. So attempt had been made to get
money from her since her reappointment.
Miss Conover had retured the money to her
afterwaid at the instance or Mr. J. Jolly
Jones, Assistant Secretary Chandler's pri
vate secretary and a personal friend of Miss
Conover.
George M. Miller and E. W. Koch, seetlon
chiefs in the Census Offloo, made statoments
lniebuttal or the charges or undue famil
iarity with the women clerks In tbe offloe,
mado against them yesterday, and denied
the accusations in toto. They said they had
always treated the women under them with
respeot, and tbelr oonduct toward them had
always been most exemplary.

To tho Charge That the Government Fays
Bom Distillers' Expanses.
Wjlshixqtoit, Jnne J. Senator Cookrell
hat received from Commissioner Mason, of
the Internal Be venue Bureau, another letter
supplementary to one reoeived some weeks
ago, in which the Commissioner stated
the true relations existing between
the Government and the distillers of spirits
in answer to certain arguments made by the
advocates of the Farmers' Alliance sub
Treasury scheme, based on the assumption
that the Government pays all or the greater
part of the cost of storing spirits awaiting
consumption. Tbe Commissioner, in this
last letter, states some additional facts bear
ing on tbe subject, which are, In substance:
First That it is not true that the Govern
ment pays the salaries and fees of store
keepers and gangers, but that, as a matter
of fact, under the present law 3 per cent of
the tax was Imposed to defray these ex
penses, and that the revenue from this per
centage of the tax is now sufficient to more
than defray tbe entire cost of maintenance
of the International Bevenue Bureau, in
clusive of the salaries aud fees of tbe store
keepers and gangers.
Second The popular Impression that all
spirits are warehoused for three years is er
roneous, and, In fact, fully one-half of tbe
production 1 s withdrawn and the tax paid
within one calendar month after manufac
ture. Third Spirits exported without payment
of Internal revenue taxes are not privileged
above manufacturers, as is generally sup
posed, for all goods subjeet to Internal reve
nue taxes are subjected to the same exemp
tion when exported.

An Extravagant Woman.
A philosopher has remarkod that an Ig
norant woman la an extravagant woman,
beoauseshe does not understand how to use
material to advantage. But a very Ignorant
woman can be very economical in her
baking if she use the Marshall Kennedy
Milling Company's Camellia or Bayard Am
ber flour, because the blending or the wheat
and the whole process of milling these ele
gant flours aie so carefully dme that the
greater part of the ohances for good bread
have been provided for before she begins
baking, and because of their well-known
reputation for making more bread per sack
than any other flours. Camellia and Bayard
Amber always stand for elegant bread; the
former is our finest fancy patent brand; the
latter is our elegant medium priced family
baking flour.

The Hotel AnU-Uastache Order Declared
a Total Failure.
Boston, June 2. Special "The anti
mustache order is failure," ttyi J. Beed
"Whipple, after giving it a trial of several
weeks at Young's Hotel and the Parker
House. Hereafter the wearing of mustaches
will be optional with the waiters at these
hotels. When the request Aras made by
Mr. Whipple that waiters should present
themselves clean shaven there were four
colored waiters who refused to accede to it
These men were told that they would not be
wanted, and they only are to be discharged
to-morrow. Speaking on the matter to-day
Mr. WTiipple said:
"I have decided not to endeavor to have
my waiters wear clean shaven faces any
longer, but will allow them to follow their
own inclinations. I made the request be
cause I thought a clean-shaven waiter would
be an improvement In my service, and
would be appreciated by the public. I
think the publio did like the change, but
the colored waiters did not They thought
I was abusing them. Tbe white men did
not seem to mind it I still think the sys
tem the onlv proper one for hotel service,
and would like to enforce it, but I don't
think it can be done in Boston."
