THE FOREST REPUBLICAN. 4 . t. WINK, Editor 4 Proprietor. WEDNESDAY, PEC KM BER 30, 1800. Illinois lends all the Mates in the increase of votes since 18112. Its gain was 216,170, Pennsylvania's 101,726, New York's 170,163, and Ohio's 164,726. OxEoftho Pittsburg papers sajs that from 14,000 to 15,000 employes of the Carnegie Steel Company were given a surprising p recent Christmas eve in a notice from the company. The notice .f September 30, 1806, directing a termination of the pres ent wage scale at the different works wn4 withdrawn and notice given that the wages of 1895-6 will be contin ued until jfurihef - notice. The inti ruatiou is given that if the 'anticipat ed increase in the iron and steel trades is realized the wages may be further increased next spring. The editor of the Troy Prest tells this story about M. A. Hanna: Last summer, during the progress of the campaign, when Ilanua was abnor mally activej"'1?e ivas informed that one of his corps of bookkeepers was bout to be married. . Hanna at once seut for him, i4 ailed liim where he iutcnded to go on his wedding tour. As the young man was poor, he tim idly replied that he did not expect to make much of a trip. 'How would you like to go through the 3reat Lakes "and return nn one of my boats?' pursued the mandate kindly. 'Very much,' the bookkeeper replied, brightening up, 'if I could be spared bo long.' 'I will give you a vacation and a pass,' said Hanna, as he sent the young lover away rejoicing. Hanna went to the -captain of one of the finest boats, told him to give the bri dal couple the best quarters and ev ery attention without charge. 'After you are well out from shore,' contin ued Hanna, 'band the bridegroom this envelope, with ray compliments, and tell him to have a good time.' Tbe envelope contained $200. Cuba Won't Submit to Spain. It is worse than idle to discuss the question of intervention by the Unit ed States to the end nf the Cuban re bellion on any basis that involves the continued rule of Spain ou that ill fated island. It is no lunger possible for Cuba to have peace a a province of Spain. It has been tried for gen erations and it has failed. Insurrec tion has followed insurrection, here tofore resulting iu promises of reform from the Spanish government, but in every instance tho prr.ntse has been broken and the people of Cuba have had increased oppression instead of relief from the terrible exactions of tbe past. Had Spain Carried out on a gen erous basis, or even in fairly good faith, the promises made at the close of the ten years' rebellion, its author ity over Cuba might have conliuued for years to come. But not a single material promise given for tho relief of the Cuban people was fulfilled by the Spanish government. Increased taxation aud oppression in every pos sible form followed tho surrender of the insurgents ot the close of the for mer rebellion, as is clearly demon strated by the nearly united action of tbe Cuban people, of all conditions and races, in the present desperate effort to overthrow the Spanish power ou the island. There can now be uo peace in Cuba except upon one of two theories. Either Cuba must be entirely free from the ' bondage of Spain and be permitted to establish a republic of her own, or the war must continue until the insurgents are entirely an nihilated and Cuba made one vast field of dessolation from the eastern to the western end of the island. One of these two results is enevitable. Al ready many thousands of lives have been barbarously sacrificed by tbe Spanish government, and it has logi cally provoked a like fiendish retri butioo on the part of the Insu rgerte I have the honor respectfully to renew the recommendation made in 1895 for ihe complete abolition f customs, duties on all materials for fitevrlding. If our merchant rna . rine is to compete with that of other nations, it must receive the same privileges which foreign nations freely extend to their shipping. A bill to accomplish this purpose (S. 184 aud II. 11. 2668) was introduced at the last session of Congress, and is uow waiting consideration by the Senate t Committee on Commerce aud tbe House Committee on the Merchant Marine and Fisheries. Annual lie port of ihe i Commissioner of Naviga tion. Just let the bill wait where it is We can do better than this. We have had too much of Free Trade in lumber and wool, and don't want to try the experiment "on all materials for shipbuilding," thus injuring those in this country who are able to sup ply such materials provided they are afforded Protection agajust tbe cheap labor of foreign countries. .We can do better than reduce the value of American labor or turn it idle upon our streets. We can pass the dis criminating duties bill of Senator Elkins, maiutain our wages, buy "all The fairest fields ou the island have been devastated, the torch of vandal h.;.i .'. t'oyed the homes and the su gar uiuis throughout three-fourths of Cuba, aud there is now nothing left for Spain to fight for but a barren island that would require scores nf millions to restore to fruitfulness. '-Cuba baa entirely ceased . te be. e source of revenue to Spain, thus los ing to that government an annual in come ot thirty millions. And even if tbe war were to end to-day by the willing submission of Cuba,, it would be many years before Spain could re alize any considerable revenue from the island. The uncertainly of the government would prevent investment of outside capital, and neither the Cubans nor Spain have the means to rehabilitate the desolated sugar, coffee aud tobacco estates, There is nothing, therefore, for Spaiu in Cuba as a matter of revenue for many years to come,- even -ujider tbe most favorable conditions which could possibly result to the Spauie government. Never in the whole his tory of Cuba have the native CubaDS of all races been so intensified in their uosiuiiy 10 me parent -ver.nuaeny lbere is not only no sympathy be tween them,' but there is most iruplac able hostility ; a hostility that repeats the history ' of Hannibal, who was sworu to' the distructffitT'of Rome materials for shipbuilding" at home, There cWn be no peace between sucli and send the Stars aud Stripes scud ding across the ocean to successfully compete with the ships of other na tions. Use of the novel measures intro duced at the beginning of this session of Congress is that of Representative Barrett, of Massachusetts, proposing a new plan fur giving tbe members of the Cabinet seats iu Congress. His bill provides that the President fchall select the Secretary of State from the Seuate, the Secretary of the Treasury frem the House and other members of the Cabinet from the House or Senate, at his discretion: that the Cabinet officers so chosen shall retain their membership in tbe house to which they shall have beeu elected shall receive the pay only of Cabiuet officers and shall cease to be in the Cabinet if they shall.at any time in their term ceas&tb be a member of either house. There would be ad vantages in this close association of the Cabinet with Congress when the Administration is supported by a ma jority of each branch of Congress Lcgiklatiou desired by the Govern ineni would be facilitated by tins ar rangement, as the Cabiuet Miuistera woult' be the natural leaders and controllers of legiblution in each branch. When the party which elected the President fails to carry Congress also the Cabiuet Ministers would have no special advantage in a hostile House or Seuate, and their presence there uuder the circum staucea would be more embarrassing tbuu beneficiul. We doubt, therefore, if Mr. Barret has solved the problem of bringing the Cabiuet into Con great. 1'hila, I'rtu. peoples, and Spaiu must decide for herself tbe question whether Cub shall be taeleaeeJ uow, or ber release be delayed until what little property remaining in Cuba shall be destroyed aud tens of thoufauds of additional lives sacrificed. The United States can have no part in making peace be tween Spain aud Cuba as a Spanish province, fur the reason that it would impose upon this government the logical aud unwarranted duly efeup pressing rebelliou on ihe island when we can have uo iuteiest whatever aiiliug h pa i n to coutiuue her oppres sion of the Cuban people. Spain is ou the verge of bankrupt' cy. hue cannot continue the war fur another year; und if her pride cam pels her tu persist in a war that is ul terly hopeless, and that can make her conspicuous iu history only for the fiendish atrocicities practiced by her soldiery, she must be permuted to do so until the neutrality laws respected by tbe world shall compel interven tion by other civilized powers. If Spain shall thus prulracl the strife, the inevitable eud must be the free dom of Cuba wbeu there may be but few people and little property to pruGl by free government aud the ut ter overthrow of ll-.e Spauish thruue. 7ii7u((7)iia Time. Protective Tariff Legislation. The Republican members of the Ways and Means Committee have taken hold of the tariff issue with promptness And vigor that promise excellent results at an early day. As was predicted immediately after elec tion, they decided tn press considera tion o' tap IT during such part of tho present , session as would be required to formulate a complete and .equitable protective tariff bill correcting the unjust and unequal provisions of the Wilsun-Gorman bill. In the preparation of the new measure an enort will ha made to guard against the possibility of ad vantage being taken of the present low rates before the protective bill cut) i become law. This clause will provide that goods in storage id bonded warehouses, when the new law goes into effect, shall pay tbe rates nf that law, and not those nf the law now in operatiou. That ibis pro vision will be made is given out au thorilively by Chairman Dingley of the committee. A member of the commilteo in speaking of the plan outlined said that the purpose now is to prepare a ill that shall be not noly protective in all its features, but also certain to raise the deired amount of revenue. Tbe hearings on the different sche dules will bring tn the committee vast amount of valuable information touching the operations of the exist ing tariff, and will thereby enable the committee to outline a plan for tariff revision. Some nf the Republican members of the committee believe that every schedule in the existing law will require modification in order to perfect aud harmonize it as a pro lective revenue producing measure. The subject of reciprocity will also be given careful consideration. Many of the Republican members of the commitetare -in favor of com pleting the preparation of the . pro posed bill early in February,xhavttg it reported to tbe House and printed for circulation so that it can be ex mioed during the time between tbe closing of the present Congress and the opening of the expeeted special session or me next Congress. ihe vicious ad valorem system of the ex isting Taw will be tW- up root aud branch, and specific duties instituted wherever possible' Consideration will alst be given to the Admioistra live Customs law, which has been pending hefore Congress throughout the past year, and which has already passed the House nf Representatives The ohjett'cf that bill, it will be. re membered, is in guard agaiust under valuations, and thereby further pro1 tect the revenues of the government, Assignee's This Is the place for bonalide bargains In any and overythlng.
