The Tariff Reform bill continues to
roll and we observe with no little degree
of pleasure that some Of the in
iuential Republican newspapers in the
country are helping it along. For in
stance, read the following:
philadelphia Telegraph, Rep.)
'Mr. Cleveland's campaign of educa-
tion is having a wide effect. This must
be plain to the dullest observer. The
people are thinking about this tariff
matter as they never have before. They
are in a very inquiriug state of mind"
minneapolis Pioneer Press, Rep)
"It is stated by several gentlemen that
they favor the Mckinley bill not on its
merits, but because they want to see the
tariff question settled There could
not be a more serious error than to sup
pose that this kind of Legislation will
settle anything. Beyond any question
majority of the people of the United
States desire to see taxes reduced"
(Wichita Eye, of Kansas, Rep.)
"Listen here The Mckinley bill is
an outrageous performance. 1t is but a
cheap monkey show in the face of high
Heaven and Of the American people.
1t is an attempt to make an angel of the
devil without abbreviating his tail ol
saving off his horns. 1t takes dollars
from the farmers and return them dimes
1t does not impose single duty which
will help Kansas farmer"
The foregoing serves to show that there
is strong feeling for reduced taxation
outside the Democratic party. Lookout
for the annihilation Of the monopolisti'
party when '92 comes around.

The Mckinley bill, says a con-
temporary, will impose tax from 80
to $3.50 on every ton of manu-
factured fertilizers. Now the farm.
ers Of the country cannot stand
these figures. We use 100000 tons
of these fertilizers year. The bill,
therefore, proposes to rob the farmers
of more than $4, 100000 annually. AT
present the sulphuric acid used in
the manufacture of furtilizers is
free; very little is imported. The
manufacturers are making money.
The Government needs no additional
revenue. Why tax this necessary ar.
ticle ? If the Government draws this
$4,000,O00 year from the pockets OF
the farmers it will be to benefit forty
or fifty manufacturers whose thousand
or so of workingmen will receive no
higher wages. This is another way
to tax the masses for the classes.
There is neither reason or justice in it.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1890-07-03

There are lively times ahead for the
Republican party, and the clashing of
interests, caused by the Reed-McKinley
tariff policy, theatens to cause Republi-
can row that will exceed the famous
fight of the Kilkenny cats. Already the
opening overture has commenced. That
great Republican leader, Blaine, has
commenced to hedge on the question of
high tariff, and Senator Walcott, of
Colorado, has revealed that the far West
recognizes that the Republican tariff
policy means taxing that section for the
benefit of the manufacturers of the East.
Then right in high protection Phila-
delphia there are very pronounced
symptoms of revolt. The resignation of
Charles J. Harrah, Jr., from the Manu-
facturers' Club, because its tariff policy,
is but the beginning of break that is
going to lead to a general fight inside Of
the party lines.
With the Republican tin plate i'm
porters indignant at the attempt to break
down their business in interest of the
Tin Plate Ring, and with the Republican
woolen manufacturer forced into bank
ruptcy by the sham protection the wool
grower, party lines on the tariff question
will soon be obliterated. This is too
broad country to be tied down by any
such narrow policy as that advocated by
the Mckinley bill.-Philadelphia Eoening
Herald.

Steel Pens.

Nearly all the steel pens used in this
country are manufactured here, though
20 years ago nearly all were imported.
Now only the highest priced ones are
imported. We use about 1,000,0 900
gross every year, which is not so large
number as might appear, consider
ing that it represents fewer than three
pens apiece for all the inhabitants. As
many people who use them wear out a
gross (144 pens) or more in year, it
is evident that there must be a great
many who never use steel pen at all.
The pens are made of imported steel,
which is preferred because of its more
uniform quality. 1t is rolled into big
sheets and cut into strips, after which
it is annealed, rolled to the thickness
required, then tempered and cut and
stamped into pens. Much skill is re-
auired in all these operations and in
those of finishing the pens for use. The
manufacture and trade in steel pens
has seen very little change for gener-
tion.-GoOd HOusekeeDinG.

of fair trade which underlies all CONNER

Of fair trade which underlies all CONNER
cial treaties.
1t must be said, however, in behalf of
Blaine's policy of reciprocity, that it
points in the direction of commercial
freedom; and for this reason, if for no
other, it deserves friendly greeting from
every friend of Tariff Reform. The Nc
Kinley bill, on the other hand, is bar
barous reaction against the spirit of the
age. While the Mckinley bill would
raise the tariff wall, Secretary Blaine pro-
poses to make large enough hole in it
to let in free trade with all South Amer
lea. At the same time, Blaine's plan is
too impractlcable to admit of the in
diligence of any illusion in regard to it.
When every nation shall have reformed
its own tariff there will be no occasion
for partial and one-sided treaties of
reciprocity.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1890-07-03

Blaine's comprehensive and interest
ing plan of free trade with all the
Southern countries of this hemisphere
has elected widespread discussion. In
his paper transmitted to Congress by
Harrison, in his note to "an old Maine
friend' and in his response to the
Minneapolis millers his views on this
topic have been defined at length.
Finally, he is reported to have declared
before the Senate Committee on Appro-
priations the other day that "the Nc
Kinley Tariff bill is the most dangerous
if not the most infamous measure that
was ever concocted by any party" His
denunciation of the Mckinley bill is in
spired by the fact that its adoption would
raise new obstacles to his generous scheme
of free trade with all Central and South
ern America.
Blaine proposes to use the tariff as
a weapon for e1torting from the South
Americans concessions equal to the ad-
vantages that would be given by the
free admission of their products. Such
South American nations as recog-
nize the benefits Of free trade with
the United States are to be treated
in the most liberal terms of re.
ciprocity. Such as do not appreciate
the fact that we are their best customers
are to be punished for retaining existing
duties on their products, and, if neces-
sary, by imposing duties ON those that
are now on the free list. If, for example,
the Brazilians should continue to eat
taxed bread and to use taxed iron i'm
ported from the United States Blaine
would insist that the people of this
country should eat dearer sugar and
drink dearer coffee.
OF course, Congress may make such
tariff regulations as it shall please; but
there is no serious obstacle to the sue
cess Of Blaine's policy so far as other
nations are concerned. Under the "most
favored nation" clause contained in
nearly all commercial treaties it is stip-
ulated that there shall be no tariff dis
elimination in favor of one country
against another. If the South American
States should undertake to admit free
certain agricultural and manufactured
products of the United States, in ex-
change for the free admission of their
sugar and wool, England and other Eu'
ropean Governments, pointing to this
clause, would say to them: "We now ad-
NIT your products free of duty, and you
unjustly discriminate against us, al
though we have not sought to wrest any
concession from you in exchange for
our liberality. We ask only that, in ac-
cordance with treaty stipulations and
just commercial principles, we shall be
treated on equal terms"
1t is quite true that any government
may abandon "the most favored nation"
clause if deemed expedient. But what
could the South Americans gain by
opening their ports to the free admission
OF flour, fish and steel rails from the
United States, while maintaining dis
criminating duties against like products
OF other countries? The advantages of
such discrimination would be altogether
too precarious TO induce any South
American nation to violate the principle

The Washington correspondent of the
of the New York Herald writes:
What was known only to few yester-
and that is that the administration has
openly arrayed itself against the passage
of the Mckinley bill.
When the Ways and Means Commit
tee was preparing the bill Blaine en-
deavored to impress upon its members
the folly of putting sugar on the free
list. The excuse was that the agricul-
tural interests of the country demanded
it, and the Farmers Alliance just then
was more influential than the argument
of Mr.. Blaine. Subsequently. Mr.. Hit,
Chairman of the House Committee on
foreign affairs, introduced joint resolu-
ton intended to give the President
power to make substantial reciprocity
with the Central and South American
countries.
Finally it became necessary as evidence
of good faith on the part of the admin
istration to show that it did not approve
the free sugar platform. 1t so happened
that Blaine had opportunity of airing the
views of Harrison in three different ways
in his letter to Congress, in his reply
to the telegram from the Millers Conven-
ton at Minneapolis and in speech be-
fore the Senate Appropriation committee.
In the written statement intended for
public circulation he necessarily was
confined to the proprieties of expression
in vogue in official life in giving utterance
to his views.
But the Senate Appropriation Commit
tee it is said he waived this restraint
and delivered lecture on political ec-
onomy that was not intended for the eye
or ear of the public. This question un-
der consideration was the necessity for
increased appropriation in completing
the record of the Pan American Congress.
Senator Hale, of Maine, who is on the
committee, said something which drew
out Blaine and he proceeded in the
most impassioned manner and with
much of his old-time fervor and elo-
quence to tell the committee what in his
judgment would be the effect of the pas
sage of the Mckinley Tariff bill.
1t goes without saying that Mr.. Allison
did not like the idea of being lashed as a
member Of the Appropriation Committee
for what he had done as member of the
Finance Committee, and he rather re-
sented being called to account for the re-
suit of its deliberation.
The Democratic member of the COM
mittee, Mr.. Blackburn, was delighted
with the tone of Mr.. Blaines views, and
at an opportune moment he is reported
to have said:
81 wish you were not Secretary and
were in this Senate to raise your voice
against this Mckinley bill"
Mr.. Blaine-I wish so too. II is tie
most dangerous, If not the most infamous
measure that aodS eger c0nc0cted by any
party. The men who vote for this bill
will wreck the Republican party. If
were in the Senate would rather have
my right arm torn out of its socket than
vote for this bill.

men talk in favor of protection. They
read the papers prepared for them

The Impending Revolt.

The nomination of Quay's candidate,
George w. Delamater, has naturally
caused a very considerable revolt
throuhout the State. Quay's crimes
coupled with the methods which
he has employed to make his influence
potential in the convention, were too
much for the reputable members of the
party, and when to this feeling Of aver
sion is added the fact that the candidate
stands charged on good authority with
corruption, perjury and forgery, sub
stantial protest was to have been ex-
pected.
Thus far the opposition is without Or
ganization and lacks that important
medium of asserting itself. But it is uni
versal and widespread, and will, in all
probability, assume such shape as to
make itself felt in time. The utmost
demonstrative exhibition of it lies in the
Western part of the State, and by
strange coincidence the best material for
leadership is there also. In the brutal
treatment Of Major Montooth by the
managers of the dominant faction, the
friends of that gentleman were mortally
insulted and they are likely to put their
resentment in the most vigorous form.
But there is likewise deep feeling all
over the State. The principles of free
Government have been assailed and per-
sonal integrity and manhood struck
down. In behalf Of these the people |
will arise and battle with might and
main.
Quay's candidate will be beaten and
Quay's methods driven out forever.

Now that the Hill Farm Mine has
been reached by the miners, it is ap-
parent that all their work of rescue,
even in its earlier stages, was in vain.
The mine appears to be full Of smoke
and noxious gases that the imprisoned
men must have perished soon after
the accident. There are some incidents
connected with this business that the
Coroner should rigidly investigate
among them the inaccuracy of the
maps which helped to delay the rescu-
ing party.
