TIMBER AND SALT.
How the Public is PIundered to the Advan.
tage of the MonopoIists.

This addresses itself with peculiar in
teresS to the people OF Indiana, and par
ticIlarly to those living within what is
termed the natural gas belt. With the
discovery OF natural gas in our state, and
with the limits OF that discovery, our
people will enjoy the benefits of the
cheapest and best fuel in the world. Great
expectations have arisen with respect to
the futJr9 development OF the state. par
tic1larly n those sections referred to. As
th3 territory is virgin to manufacturing
industries, and they haveto be established,
if, by reduction of the duties upon the
articles necessarily employed in establish
ing and in operating them, a correspond
ing benefit to that which the cheap fuel
now offers could be had, it is not possible
to calculate how much the industrial in
terests of manufacturing would develop
in our state within the next few years.
When Chicago was DESTROYED by fire, the
best and readiest means that the govern
ment could furnish in aid of its recon-
struction was to put all building material
used for the purpose of rebuilding the
city upon the free list, and there is no
question but what the relief thus afforded
was of the most important and essential
character. If Indiana could have the
material used in the construction of
with machinery placed on the free list for
the next eighteen months or two years, it
would more than double the amount of
manufacturing capital that would come
into our favored territory for the purpose
OF utilizing our cheap fuel.
do not suppose that any person will be
found in Indiana who favors the continu-
ance of the duty upon timber and salt.
1t has always been the policy of the gov
eminent TO leave salt, used in curing fish
and in curing meats that were shipped
abroad, free from the burden of tariff
taxation. The latter has been done under
the assumption that merchandise shipped
TO foreign countries must not pay an ex-
port duty, but what reason could be given
for excepting salt used in curing fish
that does not apply to the salt used
by the Indiana farmer, is past my
comprehension. As for the timber
tariff, it has been the policy of this
government for many years past to en-
courage the culture of timber rather than
encourage the destruction, and to that end
public lands are donated to persons who
can show that they have, in good faith,
engaged in the culture of timber. Now,
we ought either repeal our timber culture
acts or repeal the duty on timber; the
two are certainly inconsistent.

the difficulties. Upon the rejection of
the treaty the president at once compre-
hended the situation, and without any
further appeals to the senate in

placed the whole subject before congress
and the country, in which, in the clearest
manner. he stated the character of the
controversy and the necessity OF maintain
ing the rights end privileges of American
citizens engaged in the fisheries, whether
those rights were to be derived from in
ternational law or from treaty stipula-
tons, and placed the responsibility upon
congress OF furnishing the executive de-
partment with the necessary power to
protect these rights. What the republi-
can senate will now do remains to be seen,
but the chief responsibility for the present
complication OF our affairs with our neigh
bors of the Dominion and Great Britain
must rest upon the republican majority in
the senate.
As for our candidate for the vice-presi-
dency, there is no democrat throughout
the length and breadth of this broad
land who does not feel a per-
sonal pleasure in being able to compliment

As respects the republican presidential
ticket, DIT possesses but little individuality
Its candidate for vice-president represents
money. He was the chairman of the
finance committee OF the republican party
in the canvass OF 1880, and received as his
reward for his money and services de-
voted to that corrupt canvass the mission
to Paris. His nomination for the vice
presidency had for its sole object the pro-
curement of the money aid which his vast
wealth will enable him to furnish. The
success which attended his financial
efforts in 1880 will not be repeated in the
campaign of 1888, and at the close OF that
campaign he will repair to his banking
house in Wall-st. "a wiser" but poorer

ing the whole twelve months, and to sell
their surplus abroad in competition with
foreign manufacturers. This would also
result in a reduction OF the price to the
home consumer, and instead of reducing
the rate of wages would tend to increase
them.
What has been thus demonstrated in
the case of the shoe and leather trade of
this country would be equally true with
reference to all classes of textiles, but
especially with regard to cotton. Now, that
capital is as cheap in the United States as
it is in any other country in the world,
there is no reason why we should con-
tinue to ship 20 per cent. of our
cotton crop abroad to be manufactured
and manufacture but 80 per cent. at home,
except in the fact that we are endeavor-
ing to keep and maintain costly establish
ments of plant and machinery in New
England and other sections of the country
remote from the cotton belt, instead Of
utilizing the capital thus unemployed
within the cotton belt itself.

BosToS, Aug. 2S-The congressional COM

of labor and immigration laws resumed this
morning. James Dandy of Lawrence testified
that he was an Englishman and was induced to

America and promised larger wages. He was

Abbott & Co. johnson was an agent for
Prince, Smith & Co., and John B. Boles & Bro,
who were the men really violating the laws.
Witness thought there were thirty-five peo-
pie in the party which sailed for America, all
procured by johnson. When he arrived at
Boston, the witness was examined by doctor,
but no officer asked him if he came under con-
tract. The party was taken TO the Cunard
Office, where they were asked to sign docu-
ment, whose nature witness did not know.
Witness signed it, and then went to work.
Abbott & Co. did not keep their agreement,
and witness left. Three of his children could
not work here because they were under
twelve years of age. Witness was not paid
as much as he was promised by johnson.
Dandy wrote Johnson about it. but was asked,
in effect, what he was going to do about it.
The witness believed Abbott & Co. had been
systematically importing labor. Seyen-eighths
OF the population OF Forge Village, where Wit
ness was, is imported labor, and the tenements
in which employees are forced to live are not
habitable. johnson told witness he wanted
English help because of labor troubles in this
country, and be thought English families would
settle down and be quiet Witness is now earn
ing s. day as wool sortet. He thought
wages were better here than in England, but
living was higher.
George Foster, a blacksmith, came TO this
country with Dandy and gave similar testi-
mony. In the Cunard Office a paper was read
TO the party and they were made to swear they
here. Witness, when he reached Forge VII
lage, was given but 81 day. Witness was
asked several times to pay his passage money,
but he refused and warned them not TO deduct
a cent Witness now gets S2.25 per day He
got eight shillings per day and five days work

The committee declared the hearing closed
and returned to WASHINGTON tonight.

South American states, as we are notcom-
petitors to any great extent IN our
productions, yet it is a lamentable TACT
that our trade with those sections has not
been for many years greatly Increased:
Most of the imports from the Central and
South American states are of articles that
are now on the free list, such as
coffee, hides and gutta-percha, while
we sell to them almost nothing.
The republicans insist that this trade
is to be encouraged through subsidized
mail facilities between the United States
and those countries, and Gen. Harrison,
in one OF his little speeches made to the
pilgrims who have been visiting our cap
ital as kind OF political Mecca since the
Chicago convention, was very earnest IN
insisting that while it was our duty to
hold on to our home market and not
share 1t with any one, we ought, by all
means, through mail subsidies, endeavor
to get into correspondence with our south
ern neighbors with the view of increasing
our trade with them. The fallacy of the
proposition contained in the generals
statement was shown up somewhat
sharply by an editorial article in the New
York Post. The absurdity OF starting out
with the declaration that they must not
sell in our home market, and winding up
with an effort to induce them, through
the means of a voluminous correspond
ence, to purchase from us articles for
which we would receive nothing in ex-
change from them but money, certainly
did not appear to Gen. Harrison when he
was addressing the people on that sub
ject. The simple reason why our trade is
no greater with Central and South Amer
lea than it now is arises from the fact that
but few of their articles of merchandise
can pay our tariff and come into our mar
kets, and we have nothing to offer them
for sale that they cannot buy cheaper
from other nations who receive their
trade on more equal and favorable terms.

THE SUGAR DUTY.
Wherein the Mills Bill Interests the Con-
sumner.

sumer.
The feature in the Mills bill that has.
next to the wool schedule, received the
chief denunciations of the republican par
ty is the proposed revision of the tariff in
the sugar schedules, and this, however
for the very opposite reason for opposing
the reduction on wool, as here the charge
is that the reform does not 90 nearly
far enough. In this charge the sectional
spleen OF the republican party
again crops out, with no more, however,
to sustain it, not even as much as in the
case of the wool tariff. The present duty
on sugar was placed there by the repub-
hcan party, as were all customs duties
since 1861. When the republican party
went into power the duty on sugar was
24 per cent. ad valorem. 1t was raised to
war rates in 1862, and has been as high
as from q cents a pound to
cents a pound, which was about
tariff was adopted, which made consid-
cradle reduction upon the tariff existing
at that time. 1t is claimed by those who
framed the Mills bill that it proposes a
reduction of about 20 per cent. ad
valorem. A comparison of the Mills bill
with the present tariff will. in my judg-
ment, show that it is at least that; but the
republicans insist that it ought to be at
least 30 per cent. reduction and that the
American sugar growers are Unfortunately
protected by the Mills bill in its present
form, and they assume that the sugar pro
ducers thus favored are to be found in the
southern states only. | apprehend that
the rate of duty upon sugar heretofore
has been more governed by the fact that
it has proved one of the best articles for
revenue upon which duty could be laid,
as it certainly has proven itself to be-.

Some of the Things Which He Has Done for

But Mr.. Cleveland has equally distin-
guished himself as statesman. His mes
sage to congress at the beginning
OF the present session brought
the democratic party into line
upon the great issue of tariff reform,
and enableditto carry the measure through
the house of representatives, which would
have failed but for the signal aid fur
nished by the president; and now, with
in the last few days, he has completely
turned the tables upon the republican
senators in respect TO our relations with
Canada and Great Britain, growing out of
the fisheries question. Under the consti-
tuition, the president possesses the power,
by and with the advice and consent of the
senate, to make treaties, provided two
thirds of the senators present concur
Growing out of the difference of opinion
between the Canadian authorities and
our people engaged in the fisheries, the
rights and privileges of American fisher
men on the Canadian coast and in transit
through the Canadian territory has been
the subject of much contention. Some
months ago a treaty seeking to define
those rights and privileges as secured bv
former treaties, and as arising under the
law of nations, was negotiated bp- the ex-
ecutive department and transmitted to
the senate for its examination and con-
currence. After a protracted debate in
open session-in which the republican
senators sought to obtain every partisan
advantage possible-the treaty was re-
jected by strict party vote. The repub-
ican majority did not seek to amend it,
although the power to mend was unques-
toned, and a proposition to amend would
have evidenced a desire on their part to
at least continue negotiations for the pur-

have said that the Mills bill stands
without rival before congress proposing
any revision of the revenue laws or any
reduction of the revenue to avoid the
complication which must necessarily arise
from oyer-taxation; but the republican
majority in the senate may still take some
action upon the subject before the present
session of congress ends, as it has been
given out from time to time that they were
just on the eve of bringing forward their
counter propositions. In the meantime,
however, the republican party, in it's ma
tional convention, has been taking ground
on the subject, which, it may be assumed,
will be substantially followed in any ac-
ton taken by the republican senators.
