testified in the Tewksbury investigation
to-day. He visited the Aims House
twice during his term Of Office and made
a thorough examination Of its condition.
He found everything satisfactory. He
suggested to Marsh the improperly Of

The Free Traders.
DETROIT, Mich, June 1.-The Free
Trade conference assembled at 3oclock,
but the committee on address being still
out, brief speeches were made ON the
question as to the best method of action,
whether by organizing u third party, or
working inside the lines Of existing
parties. Finally the committee on
address made report which, after dis
cussion. was adopted, rs follows; This
Conference submits to the American
people that revenue reform has now
become the paramount and vital issue in
national politics and we desire to obtain
TO the greatest practicable extent free
dom of trade among nations. The
abuses of the present tariff are the chief
distractions to the continued develop
ment and prosperity OF the country.
To do away with these abuses we ask
all alike those who believe that
freedom of trade is an essential point Of
American freedom and the only
commercial policy consistent with bust
ness stability, and of those who
recognize that the abuses of the present
unjust and unequal protective tariff keep
us from the enormous export trade we
ought to have. and form the most serious
hindrance to American industry and
progress. We submit that protection
does not protect the classes it claims to
protect: that TO protect the few at the
expense of the many, is inconsistent with
the principles of Republican Govern
ment, and the revised tariff OF 1888, by
raising some duties, and by an intention
ally confused classification. maintaining
others it pretends to reduce, is only 0
devise of alarmed protectionists, to avoid
honest revenue reform.
