determined, yet poorly concealed, efforts
to deceive and hoodwink the masses of
the people as there has been in reference
TO the pending bill. The bill is precise
" what 1t purports to be-a bill TO re-
duce the revenue and equalize duties on
imports-the effect of which will be, If
enacted into law, most unquestionably
to reduce the revenue to the extent of
very many millions of dollars, and to
equalize the duties on imports so as to
operate more equally and fairly In refer
ence to all the industries of the country.
SENATOR DoLPH.
As l understand the constitution,
when the thirteen original states adopt
ed it they agreed that we were to be
one nation, and the right to regulate
foreign and interstate commerce was to
be given TO congress, to body which
was to exercise its authority over the
whole country and over all the people,
over every foot of soil and over every
citizen.
Therefore the duty Of congress in leg
islating upon this question is to legislats
for the good Of the whole. 1t Is a mis-
take to say that what injures Oregon does
not injure Maine, or that what Injuries
Maine does not injure Oregon, or that
what Injuries Maine and Oregon does not
injure Florida and Louisiana. You can
not injure one of the states Of the Union
or destroy an enterprise or business in
one of the states of this Union without
injuring the whole; and all the talk
about whether the tariff on this or that
will be beneficial to this state or that is
foolishness.
Sir, l am In favor of protecting every
industry of the United States, and all
alike, so far as | am able to judge of
what is necessary. l am not ready to
join the corps of sappers and miners In
this body who are seeking to undermine
the wall of protection which keeps out
the cheap labor products of other coun-
tries from this country.
SENATOR sPooNER.
l have sat mere day after day, week
after week, voting fair protective duties
upon articles In which my state and my
people have no direct interest, keeping
In mind the larger interest of the whole
country and of Its labor, not limiting
my view to the lines of the state which
sent me hero.
The people of Wisconsin make, for ex-
ample, no pottery. SO far as l know, but
that is a great industry In New Jersey,
employing vast capital and labor. l
have not been willing, Mr.. President,
that it should be overslaughed either as
to that capital or as to the interest of
that labor by throwing down the barrier
which alone prevents an influx of that
product made by capital carrying low
er rate of interest and labor earning IN
finitely less in other lands
The people Of Wisconsin have no d.
rect interest in the duty on rice, but
voted for duty to protect the rice farm
er In the general interest In its relation
to the system under which we have pros
pered. and In which l believe. If the
principle is to be abandoned, however,
by each one whose local interest does
not seem to be directly subserved there
will not long be much Of it left

New YORK, Sept. ga striking
story of cool criminal logic was told at
the Jefferson Market police court yes
terday during the examination of Henry
Cassin and Oscar Matthews, two bell
boys of the Hotel Vendome, arrested
for stealing Sl2,SOO contained in the
strong box of the bookmakers,
Carlin & Saunders. Matthews turned
states evidence and told how
Cassin secured possession of the
money. He said Cassin approached him
several times with plan to take the
box from the safe. Cassin said he
would be willing to serve ten years to
have the money, which he could hide
and use when his term expired, as the
sum was more than he would be able to
earn in that time. Cassin said he could
easily get the box, as he knew the COM
bination of the safe, but Matthews de-
clares he refused to have anything to do
with the scheme. Cassin was held in
$4,000 bail and Matthews was sent to

yield abundant crops of almost every
