amounting to 81 .0S6-an average I'D val

practically prohibitory, operating to cut
off all foreign competition in this line OF
manufacture, and while producing sub
stantially no revenue, it enables the

MR., EvARrs AND THE SILVER QUESTION

The report comes from Washington
that strong pressue is being brought to
bear upon Senator Evarts to make him
abandon the position he has taken in ia
vor of silver. The bankers OF New York
have Systematically gone to work to bull
doze him by having him deluged with let
tiers in favor of the suspension of silver
coinage. We hope Mr. Evarts will have
sufficient courage to withstand this at
tempt 10 force him to take sides with the
bankers, who are opposed to silver be-
cause it helps to swell the volume of cur
rency and IN that way prevents the de
probation Of property and labor.
The great cutlery the bankers are max
ing about silver coinage is easily under
stood, They have the virtual control OF
the gold Of the country. Il they could
only succeed in driving silver from circu-
lation they would increase the purchasing
power of gold which would mean placing
many millions of dollars in their pockets.
In other words. the success of their cru
SADIE against silver would impose upon la
Dor and property an enormous fine for the
benefit CT the banking fraternity and the
creditor class in general The farmer
who is getting fair price for the pro-
ducts OF his FARM would, as result of
the contraction IN the currency that
would follow driving silver out of clr>
culation, find himself getting one-third
or perhaps one half of the price for his
products that he is now receiving. The
same thing would occur in the varied
branches of productive industries. But
what the wealth producers would lose
the shylocks of the country would gain.
Ii is therefore not at all surprising that
the West is united in its opposition to the
anti-silver legislation that the bankers of
New York are clamoring for.
We repeat that we hope Mr.. Evarts
will not commit the grave mistake of
allying himself with the bankers. Much
better for his reputation that he adheres
to his resolve to fight for silver. By do>
ing so he may gain the enmity of the
banking fraternity, but he will have the
consciousness of having done his duty by
the country.

Pulitzer Answers Challenge-Another
Assertion of the Prerogative.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb 16 Mr.. Morri-
sons tariff bill, which was introduced in the
house, Monday, it is estimated, will make
an aggregate reduction of twenty millions
of dollars on the basis of last years importa-
tions. The aggregate reduction by pro-
posed additions TO the free list is about five
and half millions Of dollars In the
metals. pig iron is reduced from 81. 70
to $500 per ton. There is slight
reduction on bar and rolled iron.
Heavy steel and iron rails are reduced from
SlI TO sl2.50 per ton Small rails weighing
less than twenty-five pounds per yard, are
reduced from $50 80 per ton to SIS. There
is also some reduction in lead and copper.
The only alteration on woods is in the
third-class or coarser woods, for which there
are at present two rates-2ls cents per
pound on those which cost IL cents or under,
and cents per pound above II cents. The
two classes are amalgamated at a
common duty OF 2s-10 cents per
pound On flax and linen goods there is

of 40, 81, etc per cent are placed generally
five points lower, making an average re-
duction of about 10 per cent.
sugar is reduced 20 per cent which will
leave the duty on sugar still about 90 per
cent advalorem This reduction is not to
apply to sugar from Cuba and other
countries where an export duty is put ON it,
because a reduction in these cases, it is
thought, might be met by increases
of export duty. There is a similar provision
as to the lumber which is put on the free
list. Canada, the principal source of sup
ply, will not be allowed to pocket the duty.
The duties on rice, starch and marble are
reduced
Before introducing it in tue house Morri-
son informed Kelley and Mckinley,
who are members of the ways and means
committee, that his bill would BE- very mod

whether he would not assist to pass such a
