Senator Vance Has a Proposition BY Which
Import Duties May BE Lowered.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator Vance
yesterday proposed the following amend
ment to the Tariff bill:
Whereas. From an early period in our his
tory, duties upcn foreign imports have been
levied with the avOwed purpose of promot-
ing the interests of domestic manufacturers
and drawbacks or rebates have been given
on the duties on raw materials used in the
manufactures of all articles exported for
the same purpose; and
Whereas, For the encouragement of the
production of spirits and tobacco all inter
articles which are exported abroad; and
Whereas, Bountie~ have long been granted
to our fishermen by n drawback of duties
upon the salt used In their bus ness, and
subsidies are proposed to aid in the build
ing and sale of ships; and
Whereas, agriculture, the greatest in
Importance of all our industries, has not
been and in the nature OF things can not be
aided In the same manner, the duties here
tofore for that purpose having for the most
part proved wholly unavailing; and,
Whereas, 1t is desirable to do impartial
Justice TO all of our Industries and to give n O
one an advantage over the other, and mas
much as there is no other way by which
agriculture can be compensated for its con-
tributlon to the support of manufactures;
therefore
b. IL enacted, Thet In all cases Where IL
can be shown by proof satisfactory to the
Secretary of the Treasury that any goods,
wares or merchandise imported into this
country have been purchased abroad by
any citizen of the United states by ex-
change OF farm products grown in the
United States for such goods where
such goods have been purchased
with the proceeds or avails of surh
produ in foreign countries, such goods.
wares or merchandise shall be imported at
the following of dutV. wit: One
half the present duty on all manufactures
of iron and steel, 40 per cent of the present
duty on all wooden or cotton goods or arti-
cles of which wool or cotton may be the
component material of chief value. one half
the present duty on earthenware. china and

WASHINGTON. Aug. ga loss OF $780,
coo Is what the bagging manufacturers
of the country say they have sustained
through the delay of the Tariff bill in
the Senate. The Mckinley bill makes
certain changes in the raw material
As soon as it passed the House the bag
ging manufacturers began to arrange
their prices and plans upon the new
basis They have been waiting impa-
tientty for the bill to become law.
Meantime the material they use is
accumulating in great quantities In the
bonded warehouses at New York They
can not pay the present duty. take out
the raw material, and go to manufactur-
ing, If they do they will be caught pY

low the reduction in duty, just as soon
as the bill becomes law So they

they are $500, 600 worse OF than they
would have been had the Senate acted

proposed tariff changes make the same
complaint Millions of dollars worth
OF imports, raw and manufactured, are

The pressure for speedy action is be-
coming very great. Democrats as well
as Republicans from manufacturing

Congress hurry, so that they may
enter upon the busy fall season with
settled prices. This rapid development
of pressure from the outside has had {
great deal to do with the sudden fixing
of things in the Senate. 1t will hasteI

prompt speedy compromise upon the
points of difference between the House
and Senate. The new Tariff bill will b.

Fatal CollIsInn.

MULLEN. Neb.. Aug. e6.-Owing to a
misplaced switch two freight trains on
the Burlington 81 Missouri River road
collided at this point yesterday morn
ing, killing three persons and seriously
injuring six others The killed are:
Myrtle Willgus, daughter of a farmer
living three miles southeast of here;
John Wymore, section foreman at this
place, and an unknown tramp The
west bound train was run in
on side track to allow the east bound
train to pass The switchman, however,
was unable to close the switch, and at
tempted to stay the other train, but
waited too long before doing so, and the
two trains came together with terrific
crash. A box car in one of the trains,
in which thirteen men were stealing a
ride, was crushed to small pieces, but
only one of the men were killed, the
others escaping unhurt Six of the
trainmen were hurt, but none of them
will die.

PRACTICAL ECONOMICS.

why the mckinley Bin VIII EurnIak No
Relief 10 the People at Large
One fact in practical economies should
be fully understood, and that is that
where = tariff system is the chief
source OF a nations revenue and is
properly arranged it will of necessity
give all needed protection to the in
dustries OF a country. In order to do
this, however, q few essential points
must be carefully observed:
L All raw material that can not be
raised In the country should be free.
2. Raw material raised within the
country should never have more than
enough duty to ceunteract the him
ORANGES in our own production.
.. The tariff should be as small as
possible upon things that enter into
family living.
4. The highest taxes should always be
upon Injuries and the lowest upon COM
| forts.
Observe these initial rules and 1t be-
comes an easy matter to so appor-
ton the revenue as to afford Incl
dental protection to all American in
dustries. Unfortunately tho tariffs OF
| this country are so arranged as to ignore
every one of these foundation principles.
i
it is true, but in most cases they are
upon things which do not enter largely
into our own productions The single
prominent exception is hides, and this
it is proposed to remedy by the impo-
sition of duty, as proposed in the Nc
Kinley bill. The Pennsylvania manu-
facturers say: ''Give us free ores and We
will sell our iron and steel in Liver
pool" Tho wooden manufacturers say
give us free wool and dye stuffs and we
can compete with England and Ger
many in the markets of the world.
With free wool and dye stuffs American
carpets can be made as cheaply as they
are in Europe. Most of these woods
that are desired free are of kinds that
are not raised in this country and the
dye stuffs are not raised here at all.
The present tariff is square in the in
terest of the manufacturer and against
those of the people at large. The Nc
Kinley bill will furnish no relief.-Chi-

Mr.. Harrison has more recently paid
$4,000 to the donors to square
himself, as it were, ne is simply vast
ing his money. all the public wants
to know OF him is that he would accept
80 costly a gift and from such sources.
All of which places Mr.. Harrison in the
position OF the old Scotch dominic who
dropped shilling in the contribution
box thinking 1t was a ba'penny. He
tried to get it back and failed, and then
consoled himself with the muttered
comment: ''Oh, weel, tho Lord'll gle
me credit for q shillin'." mo, he
won't" said the parson. "Ye1l get
credit for the ha'penny We intended to
put in" Mr.. Harrison will get no credit
on earth or in Heaven for the $4,000,
even If he has paid it--Chicago Herald.
