We give the following extracts of letter from
our representative Congress-, Hon WIN Saw
YER. The condemnation of Haywood's base
trcachery is well deserved. The men who are
Wiling 70 desert Princple,t TO serve faction, will
not hesitate at any treachery to serve their inter-
est. Such has been Haywood's character The
conduct Of the Ohio delegation On the tariff ques-
ton, Notwithstanding great cause for dsaatisfac-
tion, has been what their constituents had right
to expect; and they have acted in the same spirit
on all the questions which have come up during
the session:
az I" WASHINGTON, July 2S, 1916. IL
Yesterday evening the Tariff bill was re-
committed in the Senate to the finance
committee with instructions to amend it to
death. This was ayowed by Clayton and Crit
tendan to be their objeci,and was to be brought
about by the two Pennsylvania Senators, and
Niles, Of Connecticut, voting with the feder-
aliss. Some days since il was found neces-
sary TO dispose Of one other democratic vote
to complete the work, and w. H. Haywood
was found the willing instrument. He re-
signed his seat. What was the exact price of
his treachery, we have no means of knowing.
The city has been literally swarmin gyith the
lords Of the loom and iron interests; they
have made their thousands out of
the base act OF '42, und if their monopoly is
continued to them, they can afford to pay the
iraitor his price, whetheritb be thirty or 10000
pieces Of silver; and if the recipient would
only do, as did his great prototype, G go out
and hang himsey,n there would not be SO
much loss.
This Haywood, il will be recollected, was
one Of the main instruments used by Mr..
Polk, and the south, in defeating the Oregon
question. The chalce is now returned to
their own lips, and BY their own instrument
We may now look back with pride 10 the
members from the great atwest. They have stood
up to the great measures of the Democratic
| party through good and evil report; they
have not dodged single question; they have
made no compromise with the enemy:'' all
they asked was, is The measure right? They
went in good faith for Texas, for Oregon, the
Independent Treasury, areduction of the Ia
rif, the Graduation Bill, and against Feder-
ulism in general. Benton is the only black
sheep in the flock from the West, and he has
long since been persuaded that he was not
in company good enough for him, and has
left for other, and, to him. more congenial
company.
4 We adjourn on the 10th of August, and
shall hasten 10 return and enjoy the
Democratic atmosphere Of the 5th Congress
sional district.
Since writing this morning, the Tariff bill
has been reported back and passed the
Senate, (Jarnigan voting for IT'D with small
amendment, which will be concurred in by
, the House."
q BY the above it will be seen that the trea chery
of Haywood has failed Of success, and that ii
spite of the efforts Of monop9lists more eaua
and just measure, if not one Of perfect justice
: will soon be law.
