THE SITUATION CRITICAL.
A Bloody Battle May lie Fought in
the Coke Region TV-day.
UNIONTOWS, Pa., April 4 —Sheriff Wil
helm reports the coke region quiet this
morning. The strikers have served notice
of a boycott on a Cotinellsville brew, ig
firm, because their source of supply of
beer has been cut off since the strike
began. The company stores of the region
shut off the supply of goods to all known
as strikers aud many thousands are now
on their owu resources for food aud cloth
ing, which they freely admit is limited.
But few plants north of Connellsvi. a
are in opera.ion. These remaining in
blast are owned by the Frick Coke com
pany. The latter company say that they
will furnish ull the funds necessary 10
protect their property and men. Sheriff
Wilhelm says he can furnish any num
ber needed. If deputies shall not prove
sufficient protection the military wiil bo
asked. The foreigners in this vicinity
are known to have purchased large sup
plies of ammunition, and from th:s it is
taken that t ley mean trouble. The out
look is serious and doubtful.
A large body of strikers from the south
ern end of the region passed throuh Un
iontown, enroute to the Oliver plant,
where the company will, to-day, attempt
to draw J,500 tons of coke left in the ovens
when the strike began. The mob were
armed with guns, clubs, revolvers, iron
liars aud all manner < f weapons. That
there will he a battle is certain, if an at
tempt is made to draw the burning coke.

1 over the appointment of a postmaster at

i overturn the administration because he
J is not allowed to parcel out the offices in

awhile, but he will get over it.
In a conversation afterward Bissel
- said: "I am a sort of constituent of
* i Ilines. I live in his district during the
* summer. J am sorry to have offended
him, but the appointment cannot hurt
him much. He will not come within a
thousand miles of a re-election. I would
not be surprised to sec him defeated by
5,000 majority."
And Bissel is about right.

niiltee on finance, addressed the senate
in a prepared speech of several hours
duration. He challenged the attention
°i tiie senate and the country to tlie fact
that by the provisions of this bill the
seeming paradox of a reduction of taxes
and at tiie same time an increase of pub
lic eveuues will be reconciled whe it
becomes n law. The reductions, ho
claimed, were as foil >ws:

To these reductions must be added, he

provides for u full and ample revenue,
largely in excess of preseut supplies,
with which t meet all the require

"F..UHS an I imperfections can, of

small majority here, yet, deeply as I re
gret, the necessity for these changes, and
earnestly as I opposed them, 1 do not
hesitate to say that the bill, taken as a
whole as it now stands, with its com
bination of lower taxes on the neces
saries of li r e, and at the same time in
creased revenue for the government, will
be hailed as a substantial measure of re
form aud relief by the great produciug
masses of the American people."
Estimated Revenue.
Taking the estimated expenditures of
the fiscal year 1805 at 1451.4000,000. he
; placed against those estimates the esti
j muted revenue expected to accrue under
1 tho prov sions of the bill as follows:
Internal revenue under pres
ent law $100,000,000
Additions made by the pend
ing bill:
Income tax 80,000,0 JO
Spirits go,ooo, POO
Curds BXOO,OOO
Customs 103,M1,000
M iscel laneous 20.000, Oi 10
Postal service 84.4:7.706
Total 480.1^8,766
Thus leaving a surplus of over C-0,000,
000.
"There in no terror to me," he said, "in
a surplus like this. On tb? coutr.iry, it
| is a source of safety, and can at any time
be wisely and honorably devote I to the
b"st purposes of good government, tiie
payment of debts, and the stoppage of in
t 'rest. It can also be reduced by a re
vision of tarilf rates whenever lon ml
necessary. My greatest apprehension in
public nlTairs is a deficiency iu the
finances and consequently in the power
of the government to maintain its honor •
anil t . hold its head among the nations
of the earth. On this point we feel we
have made the future secure, while at the
same time we have made lighter the bur
ileus of tho people."
Safe Reform.
Passing to a general discussion of tariff
questions, Mr. Voorhees said:
"The most needed feature of tariff tnx
uti n '.s permanency, at reasonable rates
for revenue, aud with a due regard to the
business and commerce of the country.
Tiie Mclviuley law was necessarily an
unstable, unsafe measure; it was a reck
less, foolhardy experiment on the for
bearance of the American peiple. Our
purpose is to replace the law of 1890 with
a measure of reform, safe, conservative,
aud harmonious in itself, and to which
all the wholesome and legitimate indus
tries of the country will speedily adapt
themselves and tenaciously cling for se
cure development and undisturbed
growth in the future. If this can be done
without nee.l less delay, an era of prosper
ity will dawn upon all the diversified in
| terests of the country such as has never
; been surpassed in our history."
Wages of Working moil,
lie said lie stood there to deny that it
can be shown anywhere since the repub
lican party came into power thirty-three
years ago, that the wages of a working
man or woman, in furnace, factory, .r
delving mine, had ever kept pace with
i tic reused tariff rates, or indeed had any i
increase at all, on account of high pro
tective tarilf legislation. What the
wage-worker wants and of right should
have, is not tho false promise and false
pretense of manufacturers pleading in j
ids name for their own enrichment, bn !
t he s did protection of law against the in-
I -tubiiity of his contracts, tho uncertain
duration of his employment, aud the
fluctuating rates of his wages.
Mr. Voorhees defended the ad valorem
1 duties as against the specific tax, and he
discussed at length tho Walker tnr (Fan 1
its effects, and then came down to a
cl ser view o' tiie details of the pendiu ;
bill. He declared that on the subject of
| sugar the McKinley law was a juggle
and a fraud, and was Intended as such.
Sugar Duty.
"Absolute free tnde iu sugar Is an at
tractive theme, but no such tiling has
ever existed for a single hour since t..e
organization of this government. A mod
erate duty has always been inipos -d on
.sugar, and it has always been a staunch
r venue support to the government. The
fact that the duty tax on sugar has en
ured more to the benefit of the revenues
of the government and less to the profits
of private parties than any other tax
known to tariff legislation, may be stated
as the ma n reason why tho demo ratic
] party has never made an ssiie against it.
: It is concede 1 by all parties tlmt the duty
paid on imported sugar go \s more inirly
' and squarely into the treasury than an
other duty provided by law, and it fol
lows, as light follows darkn •*, that tar
iff taxation can therefore he reduced in
proportion on other things which the
people have to buy anil use."
Mr. Voorhees referred to the reciprocity
clause of the McKinley law as an uu
■ paralleled and clearly unconstitutional
j piece of legislation.
