His Views on the Mil. Bill and Proteo-

Special to the Times.l

NEW YORK., April General Benz. +.
Butler left the Fifth Avenue HOt-l at 4
O'Clock this afternoon with his faithful
servant, Harrison, for Washington.
While In the hotel to-day he occupied his
favOrite apartments, and was az kind and
genial with friends who called as when
running for the presidency as the Labor
candidate.
What DO you think of the Mills tariff
billI" was one OF the questions asked
him
Il have not changed my views in re-
gard TO the tariff, said the General in his
vigorous manner Duties should be
levied on all luxuries imported, and taxes
should be continued on those manufac'
tured in our own country. Taxes on the
necessaries of life should be removed as
quickly as possible. Congress should not
persist in trying to run the business of
this country Since the close OF the war
IL has been
THE MOST sTUPENDOUs TRUST COMPANY
the world has ever seen. Its net annual
profit has been over hundred and fifty
million dollars, and all this money has
been wrung out OF the unprotected in
dustries to support those that have been
built up by the vote of this Congressional
Trust. All other Trusts so much
talked about are mere pigmies com
pared with this No nation on the earth
can stand such a manifest discrimination
in favor of one class of its citizens rs
against another So far the Mills tariff
bill harmOnizes with my views, which
have often been before published In favor
of IL, but as II now stands | am afraid 1t
has a poor show in Congress.
THE SURPLUS.
If duties and taxes are then 10 remain
as they are, the surplus ought to be used
in payment of the national debt, and not
wasted from year to year in political
schemes that have no object but TO con-
tinue in power whichever party happens
to have control OF the public plunderings
for the time being. The primary object
of duties and taxes is 10 pay the current
expenses of maintaining the Government,
and the surplus was intended to be
used in paying the great debt caused
by the war. Protection was never
thought of in these financial enact
ments, and II Is a mere catch word
designed to keep those blind who have
never been blessed with vision, and who
are disposed to sacrifice any principle
when dominance OF party is threatened.
When we shall get Congress elected on
the principle of Il return to the old
fashioned common sense methods of ad-
ministering government, reform will take
place and not before; but am out Of
politics and have little time to devote TO
anything but my own unprotected pri.
yate business
