James 1). llaneock Venango WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, January 12,1894. The Democrats of the house have much more than held their own in the tariff debate this week, although some of their best posted men have purposely made no speeches in favor of the Wilson | bill. With the exception of Represen tative Tom Johnson, of Ohio, who op poses the bill because it retains too much protection and who favors free trade without any if's, and's or hut's, no Democrats has spoken against the underlying principle of the bill, even Representative llaines, of New York, who represents the Troy district and whc has been quoted as being strongly op posed to the bill, admitted in his speed: that lie would vote for it if the schedule affecting the industries of Troy was amended to meet his wishes. Next week he and others will have an oppor tunity to offer any amendment they may desire and the house wiildecide whether they shall be adopted or rejected. It is not thought prjbable by any member with whom 1 have conversed that any material amendment will he adopted before the bill is passed by the house on the 29th inst. It is in the sen ate that the friends of the measure fear it will he amended almost beyond recog nition. Washington is now full of par tics interested in having the bill amend ed and they are all basing their hopes of success on the senate and not on the house. The senate finance committee will begin to give hearings to those in terested as soon as the bill passes the house. Senator MePherson, of New Jersey, who has been widely advertised by iie publican papers as a tariff "kicker," lias been compelled by a troublesome throat affection to take a trip to Florida in search of relief, hut before going he ad dressed a letter to Senator Voorhees which effectually disposes of any doubt as to his position towards tariff reform. He says in the letter: "In order that you and my other Democratic colleagues on the committee may know what to ex pect from me 1 here state that the Demo cartic side of the committee on finance j must make the tariff hill and then every member of the committee must stand by the work done. To do otherwise is to confess that we are not lit to govern. 1 write thus plainly, as I see the news papers have placed me in the list of those called obstructionists." President Cleveland has just given a practical demonstration of his earnest ness in turning the settlement of the Hawaiin complication over to congress, by putting the official dispatches just re ceived from Minister Willis at its dis posal. No one in Washington seriously believes that any danger is to be appre- j bended from the reported probability of | Rritish marines being landed at llono- | lulu. It is well-known to the Rritish government that the United States will not tolerate any interference by any foreign government with Hawaii. Secretary ( arlisle explained this week the members of the senate finance ; commitoe and those of the house ways j and means >■ unmittoe the immediate i *■' y tor legislation to provide the money to m.-.t the >:,o,(KK)Jmwi deficit ' now staring the treasury in the face which was brought about by the reck- i less legislation of the last Republican con-1 gress. Ii is object was not to argue in favor of the recommendations made in his annual report, but to impress upon the minds, of his hearers the necessity for action, leaving them entirely free as to the nature of the legislation and ask ing only that it provide the money necessary to meet payments and preserve the credit of the government. Representative McMillin says it lias not been definitely decided whether the income tax shall he offered as an amend ment to the tariff Vnll or as a separate measures. $ When Baby was sick, wo gave her Castoria."

The Brilliant Ohio Free Trader Kebuken Democratic Timidity. Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland, Ohio, the leading free trade and single tax ad vocate in cogress, made a startling speech in the house of representatives on Wed nesday. In his address he voiced the sentiments of hundreds of thousands of voters who helped to put the Democrats j in power in 1892, expecting that the meaning of the Chicago platform would I be put into effect without delay. After | criticising the tardiness and timidity of tlie majority party Mr. Johnson explain ed his position and the following few extracts from his address, which was loudly applauded and cheered, will show the tenor of his remarks: After election the party proceeded to rest on its laurels and divide the spoils, and the nation was treated to a spetaele >t a president and a congress having power to remove crushing burdens de voting their energies to the discussion of personal claims to petty places. Rut, at last, the committee charged by this house with the duty of bringing in a bill for the abolition of the system which the majority of us have declared a fraud and a robbery have been heard from, i They have given us a Democratic report and a Republican hill. 1 will vote for this bill if I can get nothing better. Rut I do not like it. lTiat it does contain some good points is true. The McKinley bill contained some good points; it put raw sugar and some other things on the free list. This bill goes further and puts wool, coal, iron ore and undressed lumber on the free list, and in so far makes some show of redeeming our pledge to abolish protec tion. Rut, though 1 might vote for this bill with pleasure if it came from a ways and means committee representing a Republican house, I am disgusted and ! dismayed that it is presented by a l)emo • cratie committee to a Democratic house, j as representing their idea of what the Democratic party, with all branches of ' the government in their hands, proposes tw do for a suffering people. Rut before - a Republican house by a Republican I, ways and means committee it would fit ly represent the idea of protection 1 j amended by the friends of protection. • Proposed by a Democratic ways and I means committee to a Democratic house, as representing the idea of an adminis i tration elected on a platform declaring j protection an unconstitutional fraud and robbery, is an evasion of promise and a j political blunder of the gravest kind, a confession that the Democratic party lacks courage and honesty. Perhaps it may satisfy what are called tariff refor mers, but if this a tariff reform bill I am • all the more rejoiced that 1 am not now . ami never have been a tariff reformer. If we could abolish the whole tariff on ' the Ist of February I do not believe a ■•J single manufacturing industry would . close, (hi the contrary, all that wore not purely exotics, kept alive by taxes, would he greatly stimulated. Foreigners would want more of our products, and foreign markets would be open to our goods. Wheat would bring more to the grower, and labor would bring more to the laborer and the musses of our peo ple would want and could pay for more manufactured goods. You cannot de press industry and impoverish labor by remitting taxes; that is done by impos | ing taxes. Ihe hill 1 would pass would consist of hut three sections. "Section 1. All import duties and cor responding internal revenue duties are hereby abolished, and all officials en gaged in collecting such duties are here by discharged. "Section 2. The secretary of the treas ury is hereby directed to sell all custom houses and revenue cutters and pay the proceeds into the treasury. "Section 3. This act shall take effect immediately. Such a bill would excite no more pro tectionist opposition than this poor, tiiuid little Wilson bill will. Rut it would not be sneered at, and it would arouse a mighty support, that this hill cannot get. The men who beseech con gress to reduce duties will only laugh at our concessions and hate us as much for a reduction of 1 per cent, as for that of t 100. It is political follly for us to be timid about cutting down protection. If we i • d > not do that so quickly and decidedly I as to give the masses relief no Democrat : will again for many a day till the speak er's chair or occupy the White House. We will be beaten, and will deserve to ! he beaten. Mr. Cleveland missed the golden op port unity to give quick response to the popular will by not calling us together to abolish protection on the day of his inauguration, ihe serious question is whether it can now be done in time to have effect before the next election. If it cannot, the Democratic party will lose one branch of congress, if not two, and will begin its travels into the wilderness again to stay there, I hope, till a party having the courage of a Democratic con viction arises.

Matters of a Local Nature Written t p and Placed Before the Readers of the "Tribune" by the Saunterer—Something j Here May Interest You. j An item in our local papers [ last xveek told of a meeting held here by an organization known as the Hungarian Evangelist Society, whose object is to erect churches and schools for the people of that nationality. It is stated that it is the intention of the society to erect a school here soon for the Hungarian children, but no reason has been given for such intention. No doubt these people are free to decide how they shall educate their children, but it might not be out of place to inquire whether or not such a school will be for for the interests of all concerned. If the language of the parents is to be used in teaching 1 am inclined to believe that it will be a step backward. The parents themselves know that to make any advance in this country they must be fami liar with the English language, and no greater obstacle could be placed in the way of their chil dren than to prevent them from 1 having free intercourse with all 1 classes. The children of this na tionality now growing up are, as a general rule, very bright and quick to learn. This can be traced almost directly to the fact that they have associated with others in our schools and at work. If the opportunity they now enjoy to become ac quainted with American customs is to be removed by erecting a school in which they will hear nothing but the lunguage of their fathers, it stands to reason that their advancement will be perceptibly checked. They may acquire a good education in I their school, but it will be of little benefit to them unless I they can understand English thoroughly. The schools of this locality—borough, town-, ship or parochial—offer all the! advantages necessary to cliil-1 dren of any nationality, and' before erecting another for themselves alone our Hungarian residents should give the mat ter serious consideration. Though the time for making nominations for the next elec tion is gradually drawing near, the long-looked for political tempest does not give any signs that it will soon break out, either in the borough or the township. A number of the citizens of both parties are will ing to risk the uncertainty of a political struggle, but with a very few exceptions they prefer to keep their desires in the background and make no an nouncement of their intentions to seek otlice. There was a time when candidates proclaim ed their wants at every oppor tunity, but this year a most re markable change has taken place in oflice-seeking methods. A stranger, or a new citizen who did not know of the hot times of the past here, woujd judge this to be one of the quiet est communities in the state in the line of politics, but no greater mistake than that could be made. Politics in- Freeland and Foster are now reduced to a science, and the candidate who depends upon the back woods style of campaigning will likely find himself among the men who will be left behind in the race for honors. Some strong men are looking for office this year, and time alone will reveal the silent work that is now being done. Passsing a livery stable a few days ago I noticed the proprie tor gazing skyward, and after taking a peep into vacancy my self and seeing nothing, I asked him what he saw up there. "Oh, nothing," he replied, "I thought it was going to snow," { and turning around he walked into the stable, murmuring | something about the "fickleness j of fate." I pondered over his [ remark a few moments, then it! suddenly occurred to me that a fall of snow would make good { sleighing, and good sleighing j would make business for the j liveryman. So far this winter l he jingle of the bells was heard j only for a day or two, then old 1 Sol turned his attention to the! snow and it disappeared. The I pleasure of dashing along in a j cutter behind a spirited horse or I | haying a ride with a merry | crowd on a moonlight night will soon be forgotten, if we are to I have more opportunities for j sleigli-rides than we had this! year.
