thousand mechanics were in line. A civic
parade of 100 young men headed the parade.
One Of the features Of the parade was the
large number Of cOlOred clubs.
One of the unique features of the parade
ature passenger coach, surrounded and fol-
lowed by seYenty-EVe employees of the
Louisville New Albany d Chicago railroad.
The mass meeting was held at the intsrssc-

estimated that from 10, 0UJ to 1900 people
were present. ar. Blaine arrived at $3.50
and was given an ovation. Owing to the
damDness he did not remove his heavy over
coat, and early in his address asked psrnlis-

yelled its approval crying, Eyes, yes, that's
all right; put your hat on, Blaine, and DON'T
catch cold, etc" lie VS. II good VoIc5 anu

List Wednesday at Goshen, Ind, stated
that Mr. Havemeyer, tho president OF the
Eugar trust, had appeared bSfOre the ways
and means committee when the tariff bill
wGs up and according 60 Senator Allison,
had secured an arrangement by which So
100000 were put into the pockets or that
trust MIR. Mills, chairman of the ways and
means COmmittse, in T. special card, printed
this morning IN the Loulsvllls papers,
denies that MIR. HeVemeyer ever appeared
before tho committee or that any such
arrangement as 1 have spoken OF was made
for his benefit. / 90 not know what Mr..
Mills means by TINS denial, unless IL IS that
bdr. HHy5meyer never appeared before the
full committee when IN regular session. If
he means that no did not appear before
members o. the committee IN the committee
room, then he is cOntrgdIcLeO, not by my
self but by the Congressional Record. On
page 6, SOB Of the Congressional Record, for
the current session issued On July 10, de-
bate is reported. IN which Mr.. breckenridge,
of Arkansas, a member OF the Ways ana

Vited Haveneyer and his attorney 10 the
room of tho committee On ways and means
on the 18th of April, to talk over the sugar
tariff, and Mr.. Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
another member of the ways and means
committee, admitted having met Havemey-
or and his attorney at another time. All
that is stated and Is substantated by what
j now quote, and IN consequence tle sugar
standard was changed from No. 13, origin
ally reported, and printed IN the
tariff bill to NO. I6, SIS reported by the ways
and means committee, and passed by the
house, and % WSs IN this Change bhaB S@na-
tor Allison finds the S6,OOOOCO that MIR.
Mills committee put into the pockets Of the
trust. i may take Mr.. Mllls' denial, It he
ohOsoes. that Havemeyer never appeared be-
fore HIM. but hero were two members of The
ways and means committee, who openly ac-
bnOwledged that they had heard,
not only Havemeyer, but his attorney,

and not only knew what points were adj
Vontagsous to the C5vernment but also
knew still better wha- Joints were aovanta-
geous to the trust. Ile latter points seem

committee, though perhaps MT. Mills did
not know 1t. fApplause.l
I'fiad also in the papers to-day report
Of democratic messing IN New York,
before which Hr. Feirchild. the
EeCrstary Of the treasury aP-
pesred to defend his policy Of
4caninC $50, 100000 of the peoples money
10 certain pet banks without interest. His
defense consists chiefly in proving that 1
Syerstatcd the amount those banks could
make out of that transaction. He says that
Il calculated the interest on ths whole &c.,
400 COO, whereas the banks are compelled TO
Eeap 20 per cent of it IN their vaults. Poor
banks, what hardship they have 70 endure.
Ebspghtsr and cheers. think Mr.. Fair
ehlld's answer Is positively amusing, and IL
reveals the elCQuence Of the man won SIO,-
0CO prize in a lottery a few years ago when
She habit was to deduct 10 per csnt before
Dsying the amount.

NOS draw $4,000. 1t would have ruined me

air. Fairchild does not frankly and man
Eully confront the issue He does not state
10 tho people how the banks could sfOrd to
buy government bonds, when the govern
nent itself could not afford IT. If it was an
advantageous proceeding for these banks to
Envss5 O,O9O, 900 IN government bonds, why
Was it not still more advantageous for the
government to do it? IChesrs. 1 press
this question upon &r. Fsirchild, for
he has not answered Why, If the
b9 16s could make to 255 per cent
upon the purchase Of United States As, the
treasury department could not make as
muchf When, by doing what the banks do,
be could have Kept out SEC, OO0, COO OF the
nubic dent. I press this question, not only
because it Is a pertinent question, but be-
cause il is the question asked by one Of Mr..
Eairchild's most distinguished predecessors.
When a surplus was IN the treasury during
tho administration of President Pierce, Sec
