speaker fseed's own Right.

fhliauelpnla lmeS.
If Brother Reed expects to run
the House on the sole basis of the
Speakers "own right" he is liable
to get into some snarls. It is not
unusual for the Speaker to favor his
own side at the expense of the OPP
position, within reasonable discre-
ton. But he usually takes pains to
conceal his Partially. Mr.. Reed is
evidently much impressed with the
Importance of his position, and is
disposed not only to be "boss'' of the
House, but to he recognized as such.
This, with the small and loose ma
jjority that he has to sustain him
and with an opposition led with
great sagacity and courage, may
prove dangerous. Nor is it certain
that the Speakers plan of strength
ening his party by a change of the
rules is quite without its dangers.
Bad rules would be better than none,
as constitution and laws are al
ways better than an arbitrary des-
potism. Yet the country never has
long sustained Congressional ma
jority that abused its power. Broth
or Reed is too fresh in his saddle to
ride so fast.

Destructive Influence of the
Wool Tariff.
ON Wade's Fibre and Fabric.

From Nade's Fibre and Fabric.
1t is sad to see an intelligent man
ufacturer show puritanic spirit in
this critical stage of our
political history, and write
"stop my paper, simply because the
editor cannot fit his facts to the sub
scriber's opinion. Another manu-
facturer came into this Office while
the "stop my paper" lay on the desk,
and Immediately said, believed in
protecting wool until went on the
other side, and, "Mr. Wade, You are
all right" "The Englishman buy
their wool so cheap that they can
afford to ship their waste to this
country and get almost as much for
it as the wool cost" Perhaps there
is nothing wrong in our industries.
But we know that money is very
tight with many machine builders,
to whom it is u pleasure to draw a
check. There is n cause for this.
We do not think that able bodied
operatives would come to this Office
sometimes two and three u day, and
be thankful to even get sandwich
and cup of coffee, if times were as
good as they might be. The fact OF
the matter is the Manufacturers
Association and the Wool Growers
Association have made bad work OF
the tariff business in the past, too
much back scratching for the pub
! lie good. 1t is time we got down
to hard trusts in a statesmanlike
manner, and approach them near
rs possible in our laws.

The Tariff al the West.

Under this caption the Baltimore
Sun has an article on the growth
of the. tariff reform idea and
shows that the Republicans are
likely to loose their hold on the
Western States, unless the present
Congress reduces the tariff on raw
materials and the neccsss..Y;;es OF
life The San says:
"Westorn Republicans are begin
ging to get better idea of the tar
itf, and it is one of the reasons why
strong opposition has been devei.
oped against sending Senator ALI
son back to the Senate, although it
is said, he will propabIy win his re-
election by n few votes. But the
feeling is spreading at the West that
Il reduction of the customs duties is
imperative. Burlington, Iowa. Is
taking the first step in this direction.
y petition has been put in circula-
ton there, and generally signed by
Republicans. asking Congressman
Gear to use his influence sin favor
of taking the tariff duties from tho
neccssaries Of life and raw materials
used in manufacturing, rather than
the removal of the internal revenue
from tobacco and whisky" or, as it
proposed, from alcohol used in the
arts, which it is asserted, sswould
lead to extensive frauds in the
whisky revenue" The Burlington
Ha,ekeye, which has great influence
ut the West strongly supports the
movement. The Free HethOdist of
Chicago is still moro outspo-
ken. Thoroughly Republican, and
with no immediate intention of
leaving the party, it declares
that "if the President and Republi-
can party think by making tobacco
and whisky cheap they can recon
cilc our intelligent, conscientious
people to continue to pay high
price for sugar and WOODEN goods.
and shoes, and hats, and printing
paper, and type, and other neces-
sary articles, they are greatly mis-
taken" With the Western Repub-
licans threatening to break loose
from the party on the subject of the
tariff, and with the New England
Republicans clamoring for coal and
scrap-iron duty free and for a sharp
reduction in the duty on pig-iron,
it is difficult to see how the Allison
tariff, or even modification of it,
can pass both houses without giving
offcnse to the West and to New
England on the one hand, or, by
acquiescence in their demands,
maintain the support of the manu-
facturers, by whose lavish subscrip-
tons of money the last presidential
election was carried"

THEIR CASES WEAK.
Smith and McGinnis Disap-
Pofntnients 10 the Republic

WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE
Republicans of the House Elections
Committee are grievously disap-
pointed in the case against jackson.
They had fiattered themselves that
they knew all the points from Smith,
but when the Jackson side was pre-
sented on its merits -it-upset them,
and they are not in such hurry to
force it to a conclusion. In regard
to the McGinnis-A Anderson case the
prevalent opinion is that McGinnis
will only fight long enough for the
House to allow him his fees. He
has actually no case, and some of
the Republicans admit that if he
cannot make n better showing he
must retire, and that very speedily.

Republican protectionists who
try to make it appear that low tariff
means low wages will have to turn
their attention to evidence given by
Mr.. George A. Macbeth at the hear
ing in Washington lately. Mr.. Mac
beth, it is to be noted, speaks not as
a theorist but large manufacturer
of glass lamp shades at Pittsburg.
Here are his views:
Mr.. Bayne-If the Germans came
into competition with you with
their lower rates of wages could you
compete with them ON your one
hundred and eighty varieties OF
lamp shades outside of this country?
Mr.. Macbeth-Give me free ma.
terial or free trade such as England
has, and give me the proper pro-
ducts of my labor, and defy any
competition on the face of the earth.
Mr.. Bayne-And pay your work.
men the wages you now pay them?
MIR. Macbeth will pay them
more.
MT. bay ne-H0w much do you
pay them on an average?
Mr.. Macbeth-About four and a
half dollars day.
Mr.. Bayne-Do your claim that
you could pay your men four and a
half day if the Germans could
manufacture the same kind of chin
ney and employ the same amount of
labor at say two and a quarter
day?
Mr.. Macbeth-Yes sir.
Mr.. Bayne-You could, under the
condition, compete with the German
Mr.. Macbeth-Yes sir.
There is no sentiment or theory
in that view. 1t is the ring of prac-
tical business. 1t is the outspoken
view of a manufacturer who evil
IDENTIFY looks upon the plea that a
high tariff is necessary to the pro-
lection of wage earners as sham
and fraud

HELENA, MONT, January IL
Messrs. Sanders and Powers, who
were elected United States Senators
by the Republican House and SEN
ate, made formal application to
Governor Toole. yesterday after
noon, for certificates of election.
Their request was denied, on the
ground that their election was
illegal, and also because of the fact
that Governor Toole had already
given certificates of election to
Messrs. Clark and Maginnis, elected
by the Democrats.

that there is not a surveyor in the

The Republican papers are still
making great TODD over the Sill
colt dedication, because Silcott
happens to be Democrat and was
an official under Cleveland. No
body has ever claimed that Demo
crat can't be thief as well as Re-
publican, and possibly steal as much.
But it can be said that a Democrat
ic thief is less likely to indulge his
propensities in that way than Re
publican, because the Democratic
party catches and Furnishes its
thieves aud the Republican party
don't. In fact, if Silcott had done
his stealing under a Democratic
Administration instead of waiting.
as he did, until after Harrison came
in, the probabilities are that he
would now be in Jail aud not in
