ISrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1 New Yoke, Oct 4. Senator Quay is ex pected at Eepublican headquarters any day. It was intimated to-day that be would be in town before the end of the week to be treated for vertigo. It is well known that the Senator is not as robust as he was two years ago. As the National Republican Chairman .then, he undermined his health. Once 'erect and sturdy he now moves slowly and his head droops. But his head is all there, and his arrival is awaited with interest. General James S. Clarkson left for Wash ington to-night and Joseph H. Manley re turned from a prospecting trip in Connecti cut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The State Chairmen of Massachusetts, New I came to town to see Mr. Carter. Governor McKinley will be in town this week. He is booked to speak at New Britain, Conn., on Thursday night and at Paterson, N. J., on Friday night. The firing in New York State will not be abated, but more than the usual efforts will be directed toward the applejack and the nutmeg States. Mr. Carter says he believes that the two States will go for Harrison. Mr. Carter expects a terrific battle in Indiana, as well as here in New York State, but of the general result no man in the Republican camp was more con fident than he to-day. Should things go wrong he will be the most bitterly disap pointed man on earth. He is constantly besieged for points by Republicans anxious to bet on the result. "ot Heady to Bet Just Tot. When it comes down to this practical basis Mr. Carter does not care to advise them, at least just yet The time is not ripe for betting. Four years ago Colonel Swords did not appear at the Hoffman House until October 14, defying the Democrats to bet From that day on he spent most of his time wandering through the uptown cafes hunting for Democratic money. The Republicans who recall his undaunted bearing at that time are eagerly awaiting for the reappearance of the Colonel on the field of the cloth of gold. Mr. Cleveland will leave the city on the Fall River boat for Buzzard's Bay tc-morrow afternoon. He will return with his family early next week and go to his new home for the winter. Anions - his visitors at the Victoria Hotel to-day were Senator Faulkner, of West Vitginia; William A Furey, of Brooklyn; E. Ellery Anderson, and Representative W. Bourke Cockran, Mr. Harrity, Mr. Whitney, and .Mr. Dickinson and others of the National, Committee were also with the candidate at intervals. In the evening he had lor guests at dinner Mr. Dickinson, C C Baldwin and Oscar Spans. Between courses a delegation of Virginia Democratic club delegates was received. They, came to give Mr. Cleveland a hickory cane, cut from a tree grown at Monticello, the home and burial of Jefferson. Dr. M. R. Neverson presented the cane, saying that the Vir ginia delegation to the Convention of Dem ocratic CInbs regarded Mr. Cleveland as the inheritor of the wisdom of Jefferson. Grateful for the Gift. Mr. Cleveland said in reply: "Iacceptthe gift from the Virginia Democratic delega tion, and hope to prove worthy of the senti ment conveyed. It will serve as an inspira tion to follow in the footsteps of the illus trious man you have named. I shall al ways preserve it, not alone for its intrinsio value, but for the association connected with it" This was just before Mr. Cleveland went to the reception at the Democratic Club. The most interesting visitors at the National headquarters during the day were ex "Mayor William R. Grace and Charles F. Peck, Commissioner of Labor Statistics. Mr. Grace came to see Mr. Harrity, and he convinced the National Chairman that there would be no third candidate for the New York Mayoralty in the field this fall. Perhaps that is a little too strong, but Mr. Harrity cer tainly believed that there would be no serious opposition to Tammany's candi date from other Democratic bodies. Com missioner Peck came to see Josiah Qnincy, Chairman of the Literary Bureau, and to hand him copies of his latest reports of the W YORK labor and wages schednlei in New York State, as filed with the Commissioner's Bu reau in Albany. , Grover Says a Few Words. E The list of other callers ran up Into.the hundreds and was made up ehlefly of the delegates who came to attend the National Convention of Democratic Clubs. Nearly five- hundred people shook hands with Grover Cleveland to-night in the rooms of the club. Mr. Cleveland was appealed to "say something," and in a con versational tone, complied as follows: "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen! "I simply express pleasure this evening for this cordial and generous welcome. I can hardly restrain myself from saying to you tbat I am called here to-night for some irood reasons. First, I feel this to be my Demooratlo home cheersji second, I expect to meet here many of my townsmen, whom I am always triad to see. I expect to see not oniy my townsmen, out my Democratic townsmen. More than all this I have come here with a (rreat deal of pleasant anticipa tion In meeting and taking by the hand those others who have assembled here to-day from various ports of the country, all acta, ated by the same principles and pnrposes that aotuate the members of this club. I hare come here to'see those from abroad, and I hope we will show them how we Dem ocratslivein New York City. Now, gentle men, we are ready for the task." FLORIDA GOES DEMOCRATIC. Tho Feoples' Party Only Obtains 6,000 Totes Its Ticket Is Snowed Under by 20,000 Majority The Returns Up to Midnight. JACKSONYILLE,FlA. , Oct 4. Special The third party seems to have had slight effect upon to-day's elections in this State, judging from returns in at this hour (7 P. W.) ' George W. Wilson, Chairman of the Democratic District Executive Committee, reports that his advices give Mitchell (Dem.) a majority of over 20,000 over Baskin (People). In 1880 Flemming's ma jority was 40,000, and in 1888 the Demo cratic majority was 26,000. This will prove a great disappointment and chagrin to the third party leaders in this section, as they had anticipated a large vote irom Repub licans, white and colored. The Chairman of the Republican State Executive Committee, as they had no ticket up, issued a circular advising all Repub licans to vote the third party ticket But the new leaders of the third party, who were fiercely radical Democrats in their day, proved to be as disagreeable and dis tasteful to the mass of Republicans in the State, and hence the much expetited and desired vote did not materialize, and the People's party, Judging from the bulletins- now pouring in, will not poll over 6,000 votes, a result that will tend to extinguish third party ideas in this State. In many sections, notably South Florida, negroes are reported voting the Democratic ticket and very few Repub licans voting for the People's party. Even in Ocala, Marion county, the birthplace and stronghold of the People's party, their op ponents beat them badly. In the Congressional and Presidental fight next month, a better showing may be made, but its doubtful. Their organization is deficient and with little or no money their campaign cannot be much of a fight The vote has been light all over the State and no disorders reported. The local fights waged in Polk and this (Duval) counties, between Democratic factions, the Call, or Times-Union and anti-Call forces have been won by the Callites in both cases. This will affect the Congressional fight some, but hardly enough to give the election to the People's partv candidate. The weather has been clear and fine. Latest returns (midnight) which are the most accurate likely to be received to night indicate the election of the entire Democratic ticket by 10.S0J. The People's party polled nearly G.000 votes only. The entire Democratic ticket elected is as fol lows: Governor, Henry L. Mitchell; Sec retary ot State, John L. Crawford; 'Justice of the Supreme Court B. Fenwick Taylor; Attornev General. W. B. Lamar: Con troller, W. D. Bloxbam. Treasurer, C B. Collins Superintendent of Public Instruc tion, W. N.

Complaints That Nothing Is Being Done by Republicans to Carry Virginia Luther ans In Illinois Getting Over Their Dis affection They Will Vote With 'the Party of Progress. Washington, Oct 4. Special If any great efiort is being made by the Republic ans to carry Virginia Colonel V. G. Grover, one of the leading and possibly the most active Republican in the Old Dominion, is not aware of the fact He was in the city at the Congressional Committee headquar ters to-day and used some plain language in regard to the neglect ot Virginia. He asserts that "the situation in Virginia is simply chaotic. The Republicans could easily carry tho State if they would try, but as far I can see not one thing is being done to organize the party, and the disposi tion seems to be not to take the State if it is thrown at their heads. The Democrats are in very bad shape, and the only way they can carry the State is by the Republic ans doinc nothing, which seems to be the way they will get it The Third party folks are active and will get a reasonably large vote. I do not understand whv our lolks are not at work. - I n wn.t- " I ln regard to the Lutheran disaffection in Illinois on account of the school dis putes, Judge Payson, of that State, said to day: "I had talks with a large number of Lutherans from Illinois during the en campment here, and what they said restored my "confidence in Republican success in the State. I have been anxious about the Lutheran vote and to, be perfectly frank, I am still a little anxious, but mv talk with men from all parts of the State "during the encampment was very reassuring. Many of those whom I asked about the situation were men who led in the Lutheran revolt against the Republicans at the last olrctinn They told me that the Lutherans generally were satisfied with the present attitude of the Republicans on the school qnestion and most of them would vote with the party." ANTI-SNAPPERS FIRM.' They Are Bound to Buck the Tiger Grace Opposes the Movement The Matter to Be Settled at Next Friday's Conference One Fruitless Confab. New Yobk, 'Oct 4. Special. The re-, organized Connty Democracy Committee of Thirty met in Cooper Union at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon, but adjourned until 4:30 to morrow, without electing a Permanent Chairman, Andrew D. Parker, J. H. Klein and Civil Justice Jerolomon, of the Anti-Snapper sub-committee ap pointed to confer 'with anti-Tammany Democrats, for the purpose of agreeing on the nomination of a local, city and county ticket, called on the com mittee and asked for a conference. This Committee of Conference was thereupon appointed. The conference lasted nearly an hour, and at its conclusion the members of the committee announced that they were pledged to secrecy. They said, though, that the conference had been without re sult, and that another conference would be held within a'day or two. Mr. Grace announced that he he had bowed to the superior wisdom of Mr. Whit ney, Mr. Harrity and Mr. Dickinson, and that while he still held to the opinion that a third ticEetwould be of great benefit in getting out the full Democratic vote for the national ticket, he would recommend to the Anti-Suapper leaders at their meeting Friday night that no ticket be nominated by them. So far the County Democracy were concerned, he said he was not a member of that organization and had nothing to do with it but he understood it would nominate a ticket "I will not ac cept the Mayoralty nomination if it is offered to me by the connty Democracy," said he. "If I ever run for Mayor .again I am going to be elected, and I won't ran this year." "I've no doubt those are Mr. Graces' sentiments," said Chairman Andrew D. Parker, of the Anti-Snapper Conference Committee. "He does not see the prospect of success in running a ticket this year, and he draws out of the movement I can say, though, that his advice will-not be greatly heeded, for the Fourteenth Street Com mittee took the whole matter out of his hands at the first meeting, when they saw how things were tending." The men in the Anti-Snapper movement who are demanding' a ticket with more vehemence than any one else are ex-Sheriff James O'Brien and ex-Police Justice Henry Murray. They "will never lav down their arms." They say that Mr. Grace has no right to deny them drink, now that he has led them to the cooler. COOLEY NOT FOR GROVER.

MRS. HARRISON NOT SO WELL. toss of Sleep and Eest Telling Sadly on Her Enfeebled Condition. TVASHIJ.GTOS-, Oct 4. Mrs. Harrison to-day showed the fatiguing results of the loss of the comforting rest that she enjoyed all of last week. To-day was a repetition ot yesterday, Inasmuch as no special change for the better has occurred in her condition. She has had but broken sleep the past three nights, nor. was she able to rest well during the day. Naturally, therefore, she is not feeling so strong, and the accounts from the sick room are not so cheering. From the Presi dent down to the humblest employe of the house, there is a feeling of depression to day that nothing but a more encouraging statement of Mrs. Harrison's condition can dispel. A prominent official from Indiana called at the White House to-day to have an audience with the President, but Mrs. Har rison's condition was snch that the Presi dent declined to leave her room. FIGHTER MITCHELL JAILED. He Knocks an Old Man Down In the Strand Entirely Without Provocation. Losdoit, Oct 4. Charley Mitchell, the pugilisthas again got himself in a diffi culty. He was arraigned in the Bow street police court to-day on a charge of assault, and was remanded, $500 bail being de manded. The victim of the prize fighter's brutality this time is George Salvage, the aged keeper of a lodging house in the Strand, who is now in the Charing Cross Hospital undergoing treatment for the in juries inflicted upon him by Mitchell. A policeman saw .Mitchell running lrom a group of half a dozen men in the Strand early this morning. He heard one of the men exclaim, "That man killed my father." The officer found Salvage badly hurt Mitchell, with a party of men and women, was standing outside the doorway of Sal vage's lodging house. As Salvage and a friend emerged from the hall, Mitchell hit the old man a terrible blow that knocked him to the ground. The attack was entirely unprovoked. CARNEGIE NOT COMING. He Was Among the Irfchs of Scotland on Saturday Last. fBY CABLE TO THE niRPATCn.1 LONDON, Oct 4. The reports sent to Ameiicathat Mr. Carnegie had sailed for New York are probably untrue.

He said he had with him the original of the treaty to settle all claims of American citizens ogainst'Ohile, it having been approved by the Senate and Chamber of Deputies of that Bepubllc After the ratification of the treaty by the United States authorities it will be returned to Chile to be signed. He also brought with him the draft of 20 letters ot credit on Paris banks for $70,000 in gold, which is to be used to indemnify families of seamen killed or wounded in Chile during the Baltimore affair. The people of Chile, he said, are extremely friendly toward the United States. Mr. Egan said he wonld go to Washing ton Thursday: tbat his return home bad no connection with the campaign; that It was not true that he is to try and influence the Irish vote tor Harrison; that the Irish vote is not to be controlled by one man, and that he would be sorry to see the Irish element voting solidlv for either party. The people of Chile, said Mr. Egan, are more friendly toward this country than they have been for the past -CO years. When the war with this country .seemed imminent the State Department at Washington was in receipt of accurate information and understood the situation fully. -. Asked for his opinion of the campaign, Mr. Ei?aa said he had no doubt that Presi dent Harrison would be re-elected, princi pally on account of his successful adminis tration. Referring to the charges made against him, Mr. Egan said: "1 had my atte'ntion called to the statements made by different persons. They were in substance tbat I was harassing the revolutionary party there in erery way possible and supporting Balmaceda in every way I eould. There is not one particle of truth in these state ments. 1 emphatically deny the charges that Admiral tlrown gave information to Balmaceda which brought about the battle of Pacillas,nd tbat I was partial in my relations with either party, and that my son held contracts for railroad work in Chile." BRIGGS FEELS SAFE. ' r- He Is Satisfied That 'Ho. Will Be Sustained by the Synod. New Yoek, Oct 4. ISptdaL The New York Presbytery, which was in session yes terday, decided not to take np the Briggs heresy case at present, fixing upon Novem ber 9 as the date for the trial The dele gates to the Synod, which will meet in Al bany next month, were elected. As the case of Dr. Briggs is likely to come before that body, the selection of delegates was a matter of great interest to both the friends and foes of Pro Briggs. The Professor last niebt, after the Presbytery had a9- journed, talked in regard to the delay in bis case and toe election ot delegates to tne Synod. He said: "I anticipated a delay in the consideration of the charges against me and hence I am not at all surprised that the hearing was .postponed until November. The delegation elected to the Synod is un questionably friendly to me. I would hardly like to say tbat all of them are my friends and will sustain me, but I do not think there , is a doubt that a very" large majority of the delegates are Iriendly to my side of the campaign. As the election of this delegation hinged on the question whether the different delegates were for or against me, and the final selection of a ma jority favorab'e to me, it may be said that the action of the Presbytery was in my favor." PLATFORM RIDERS KILLED. A Freight Car Shears Off the Bear End ot a Cincinnati Horse Car. Cincinnati, Oct 4.

The Club Suicide Moorhead Joined Just Before Dying Is SORELY A QUICK KILLING ONE. Tho Initiation Fes Was Gallons of Cham pagne, and Afterward THE PACE WAS BODHD TO BE .RAPID SPECIAL TELEOEAJI TO THE DISPATCH. New Yobk, Oot 4. The body of J. Bar low Moorehead, the young theatrical man ager who shot himself through the heart in his room early on Monday morning, will be taken to Philadelnhia to-dav fnr interment Moorehead's suicide "as per clnb," as he explained himself in the note he left for the Coroner, followed his election to a peculiai club of "rounders" and ballet dancers on the night preceding, and probably the mention of the "clnb" was a hazy allusion to the proceedings of Saturday night, "part of which he was, and part of which he saw." A number of young men with a large "ap petite for plcasure,and no serious vocations to interfere with their fancies, formed some time ago the Numidian Club. The Numid ians of Manhattan Island are more fa miliar with the tiger than the famous lion of that ancient Roman prov ince which gave them name, yet their officers are known by titles resem bling lions. The President of the club is known as "Chief Roarer," and he has lately been holding court in the cafe of the Figaro, adjacent to the Academy of Music, where the "Black Crook" is now performing. There is where Moorehead comes in. His friend Lennon plays a part in the "Black Crook." ' Made Merry With the Dancers. On Saturday night Moorehead met Len non in the Cafe Figaro. There the Numi dians were in session, and there also went Serpentine and Eglantine, the French quadrille dancers who Make merry in the "Black Crook" with one foot behind their ears. The "umidlans wer out in force that night, initiating new members In the cafe. The fee for initiation is a bottle of champagne. Young Moore head was introduced to the clnb and so were Serpentine and Eglantine. Mnniiirl . made amember and he ordered the "initia tion." It was drank and in the happiness it produced the sportive idea was evolved that Serpentine should be elected Corre sponding Secretary of tne club because she can neither speak nor write a word of En glish. The idea was acted upon and that produced more "initiation." A member has since said tbat 30 quarts were drank at that session of the club which lasted beyond the honrs recognized in the excise laws. When the clnb determined to go further in search of pleasure, Moorehead was in anything but in the mood of an in tending suicide. He made engagements with several Numidians to meet them on Monday. Left His King to Eglantine. He had on a new dress suit that Saturday night and when the Numidians joked him about the wine that was spilled upon it, he said he would wear a suit the next night they could whitewash if "they pleased. Monday night he was wrapped in an em balmer's robe. When last seen by a mem ber of the club he was very merry. The young man's friends scoff the idea that he was a member ot a suicide club. Actor Nestor Lennon, who savs the suicide told him that he was under obligations to a certain club to make away with himself, called at the Coroner's office yesterday and demanded the letter addressed to him lound among the dead man's effects. It reads as iollows: Mi Dear FbhetdP lease give Mile. Eglan tine the large solitaire ling, and tell her what I.told you to-ni,jht. This 1 five to you asadeht oi honor. Please do this for me. If yon believe in a future, prav for me. Your true friend, j. fi. Moore. Lawyer John H. Sloan, of Philadelphia, came to this city yesterday, and Coroner Schultz turned over all the young man's effects to him. TOO MUCH OF A CATHOLIC. English Protestants Grumbling Louder .Than Ever on tho Lord Mayor. London, Oot 4. A letter written by Most Rev. William Vaughan, Catholic Archbishop of Westminster, in which he praises English impartiality as shown in the ejection of Stuart Knill to-the Lord Mayor ship of London, but says that a Catholic could not partake of the services of a false religion, has raised a tempest The news papers have received many letters protest ing against the statements of the Arch bishop, and declaring that unless Mr. Knill, whence takes office as Lord Mayor, shows himself independent of Archbishop Vaug han, such bigotry will militate against a repetition In the future of snob, toleration as was shown in the election of a Catholic to the Lord Mayorship. One writer says that Archbishop Vauehan seems to entirely forget tbat the great mass of the British people are Protestants, and tbat they do not relish seeing their religion described as false. The writer reminds the Archbishop that the late Cardinal Man ning's success in raising Catholios to their Iiresent position in England was due to his iberallty of thought and true Christian feeling. Councillor Moore, who at the meeting of the Livery of London and the Court of Alderman made such a vigorous protest against the selection of Knill as Lord Mayor, has not given up the fight All Quiet in Venezuela.

London, Oct 4. The gravest fears are now entertained regarding Lord Tennyson, and though hope is not abandoned, it is thought his hours are numbered. He was in fair health until the middle of last week. He took moderate exercise and entertained a small party of friends at Aldworth. The first symptom of illness he dis played was a slight cold. On Thursday he became feverish. On Friday Dr.-Dobbs, who had been summoned, diagnosed the attack as influenza complicated with gpnt, whieh was attacking the extremities. Sir Alexander Clark was summoned from London, and he, after examining Lord Tennyson, declared that his condition required the greatestcare and wa'tchfulness. Aidispatch from Haslemere at 7:30 o'clock 'last night stated that though Lord Tenny son's condition Is critical, some encourag ing symptoms are now manifesting them selves; but a telegram at 11 p. M. says: "Lord Tennyson Is quite prostrate. It is not likely that he will survive the night" Lord Tennyson lies In a room overlook ing the front of the house at Aldworth. All carriages are stopped at the lodge gates in order that the poet may not be disturbed by the noise of the wheels. The nearest railway station and telegraph office Is four miles distant from the lodge. The Prince of Wales sends frequent telegrams inquir ing as to Lord Tennyson's condition. In an interview to-night Dr. Dabbs, who is an old friend of the poet and who ap peared to be much moved, said that the pa tient has slept very little. "I cannot Bay whether he will survive the night Lady Tennyson sees him at intervals. The Queen has telegraphed to Haslemere at brief intervals inquiring as to Lord Tenny son's condition. RICE WINS AGAIN. Ohio's Supreme Court Gives Him a Verdict Against the Standard Oil Company. C0LUMBUS,0.,0et 4. Special George Rice scored another victory against the Standard Oil Company in the Supreme Court to-day in the matter of discrimination in freight rates. When General Pease was brought before JndgeJ3axter, of the United States Circuit Court some years ago, it was discovered that the Cleveland and Marietta Railroad Company had a contract with the Standard -Oil Company, by which they exacted of Rice the payment of freight rates donble that paid by the Standard Company and paid the excess over to the Standard, and by this contract the Standard made $25 daily off the shipments ot Rice. Judge Baxter found the discrimination so wanton- that it could hardly be accepted by an honest man, and that a Judge who would tolerate such a thing ought to be impeached. He removed the receiver of the road and appointed General Wikoffi This contract was the basis of the suit de cided to-day. Rice began suit to recover the amounts exacted from him as soon as Pease was removed in 1886. The amount which Mr. Rice recovers is that which was exacted from him by the Cleveland and Marietta road and paid over to a sham cor poration which was acting for the Standard. Mr. Rice has been battling against this cor poration for 25 years and is still quite prosperous. SOME MORE CHOLERA. The Scoureo Carries Off a Potato Healer in New Xork City. , NEW Yobk, Oct 4.

' Philadelphia, Oct 4. The following letter from ex-Attorney General Wayne MacVeagb, announcing that he will vote for Grover Cleveland, was given out' for publication to-day: Philadelphia, Oct. 4, 1E93. John W. Carter, Secretary or Massachusetts Ee- form Club: Your cordial invitation to address the citizens of Boston on the issues of the can vass happens to reach me just when pro fessional engagements -prevent my naming a time when I can do so, but you are quite right in concluding that I intend to vote for Mr. Cleveland. Entertaining the convictions T do, no other course is open to me, and I cheerfully accord to the supporters of President Har rison the same sense of public duty by which I claim to be actuated. As both parties have presented unexceptional can didates, there is no reason why the differ ences which exist upon questions of public policy should be discussed otherwise than in good humor, and with entire respect for each other's opinions. In the present campaign, what may fairly be called the false alarms of the canvass will prove of-little value, because of the general confidence in the safe and conservative character of both candidates. The average voter knows that iree trade is impossible in this country, for the conclusive reason that the vast revenues now required to meet the expenses of the Government will neces sarily afford a far higher degree of protec tion to our established and prosperous man ufacturers than either Alexander Hamilton or Henry Clay thought desirable in the in fancy of our weak and struggling indus tries. He Accords With the Democracy. The average voter also knows that the irredeemable paper currency, in nse before the war, has never reappeared. On the other hand; he knows as well that no sys tem of duties on imports, however inequa ble, can prevent our continued growth in wealth, in manufacturers and in population a growth due to the incomparable gifts of Providence, the intelligence and energy of the people and the blessings of free Institu tions. While I am more than ever resolved to hold duty to country far above any ties of party, I find myself at present in general accord with the Democratic party, and willing to trust its course in the future. The insight, the courage and the patriotism the masses of the party exhibited in com pelling the nomination of Mr. Cleveland when he was without a single office-holder to support his candidacy seem to me to demand that I should meet them in the came spirit and act with them, as long as they maintain that high standard of policy and of administration. It is the more easy to do so, because the Republican party, securing it3 return to power four years ago by promising to preserve matters as they were, at once embaf ked upon what I regard as a reckless and revolutionary policy, even overturning all the safeguards of legislation in the House of Representatives in their haste to pass the "Force" bill and the Mc Kinlev bill, both, to mv mind, unnecessary and unwise measures. The Force Bill Brought In. The opposition to the "Force" bill, as not only sure to create far greater evils than it could cure, but as also subversive of the rights of the States, has become so earnest and widespread that it is said to have been abandoned; bat it must not be forgotten that only two years ago such a measure was warmly advocated by Presi dent Harrison, earnestly supported by the ReDublican party and very narrowly escaped becoming a law. There is no pretense, however, that the McKinley bill is abandoned. On the con trary, our expres3 approval of it is de manded. No doubt that bill, which I can not but think was an uncalled-for disturb ance of the then existing tariff, greatly benefited a few interests, but certainly it greatly oppressed many others- Of the protected industries themselves, many -were then, . as now, in far more urgent need of free raw . material, than of higher protection; but, with raw materials on the free list, the bill could not have passed, for these having such materials for sale controlled enough votes to defeat it, and they were very likely to do so if their bounties were discontinued. The manufacturers, needing free raw ma terials were, therefore, obliged to join in the objectionable process of Increasing prices by restricting production, thus adding to the number of trusts, by which the price of the necessaries of lite is placed at the mercy of unlawful combinations of capital. It is not surprising tbat labor, be lieving itself to be oppressed, soon rose in revolt and civil war was actually raged this summer in lour different sections of the country. And. of course, the farmers, pay ing more for what they buy and getting less for what they sell, grow poor Hay by day and excellent farms will hardly bring the cost of the buildings upon them. He Sees Some Moral Evils. But the economic evils, however great, of the McKinley bill and the unreasonable system of protection it represents, are of far less importance to my mind than the moral evils which follow in their wake. In deciding for what purposes the masses of the people may properly be taxed, it must not be forgotten that taxes have a wonderful capacity for filtering through all intervening obstacles till they reach the bowed back of toil, and resting there; and therefore the giving of bounties, under any form of taxation, Is mainly the giving away of tne wages of labor. The sad truth that the curse of the poor is their poverty is illustrated in nothing more clearly than in the undue share they suffer of the burdens of taxation. v Bat aside from this consideration, ought not taxes only be imposed as required 'for ' --tk V . - ?- Ev. ribtiA' '3t.j!fa.rHi(.-i?V.ijfc- ' .Jr. feMfi'feJk- -', SK&SSS &?&
