CARLISLE ON CUTLERY.

He Presents Some Papers as to Prices at
Home and Abroad.
WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. 23.-The feat
ure of the tariff debate in the senate yes
terday was the production by Carlisle of
bills of lading from cutlery manufacture
ers showing that knives of American
manufacture were sold in foreign coun-
tries cheaper than mt home He also pro-
duced price-lists showing that wood screws
were sold in the same manner In case of
the knives the stipulation was printed on
the bill of sale in red ink that the goods
were not to be sold in the United States
Aldrich and Platt stepped over to Car
isles desk and examined the bill of sale
which he had produced, and then Plat
said that the case was not made out until
it WAS shown that the same goods were
sold at higher price at home
Some More Bills Produced.
Carlisle then produced bills of the North
ampton Cutlery company, quoted their
figures, and asserted that they proved con.
elusively that the prices to the American
dealers were from "A to % per cent. higher
than to the foreign dealers. He notified
Allison, therefore, that the point had been
reached which required that gentleman
to carry out the promise he had made
some weeks ago That senator had said,
substantially that if the evidence could
be produced in any case to show that the
American manufacturer was selling his
goods abroad at less prices than at home,
the duties might very well be reduced.
Contention on the Other Side.
Platt said the case was not made out
yet, as it was incredible that the Ameri-
can manufacturers could sell their goods
abroad so much cheaper than at home
Stewart said that the assumfgion that
there was anything wrong in the sale of
American manufactured goods in foreign
countries cheaper than at home arose
from want of information. There was
nothing wrong in it, and nothing inju-
rious to American consumers That was
the policy which England had pursued
for the last century and which English
statesmen had recommended on all occa-
sions

Who IN CnbIey

He is man with a barrel, who has an
office in New York city, as president of
the Rock Island railroad; and until he
was nominated for congress his constitu
ents were not aware he was a citizen of
this district. Roseville Times.
This is about as near the truth as the
republican papers of the district get when
referring to Mr.. Cable, who is their prin
cipal object Of attack at the present time.
The Keitbsburg Neaos dresses down the
Times man for his falsity in the following
pithy way:
The editor of the Roseville Times is
evidently better posted on postoffice mat
tiers than matters of truths. If he is
posted on the latter he deliberately mis-
represents. Ben. T. Cable. the demos
cratic nominee for congress in this dis
trict, is not r. X. Cable, the presi~
dent of the Rock Island railroad, whom
the editor of the Times evidently had
in mind when he rushed into print
with the above. The two gentlemen
are very distant relatives. y. T.
Cable does not own railroad, neither
has he an office or residence in any
other town than Rock Island. He is a
citizen of this district, having grown to
manhood in his native city. He knows
more of the needs of the district than the
editor of the Times or W. Fl. Gest. He
has the confidence and esteem of every
person in Rock Island He gives more
to the needy poor of that city every year
than any dozen men living there. He is
honest, level.headed and generous
hearted. He is gentleman of vast bust
ness interests, and would leglslate for the
masses of the district, Mr. Cable is a
young man of unimpeachable character
and all the republican papers of the dis
trict can cay about him is that he is a rich
This is true. But unlike many rich men,
he is generous to fault, giving thous-
ands of dollars every year to charity, and
enterprises that deserve aid. The Gable
family gave $4,000 to Swedish college
at Moline. they gave like sum to the
city of Rock Island for waterworks, they
have beautiied and improved the city of
Rock Island in innumerable ways. Mr..
Cable has not confined his charitable acts
to Rock Island, but has extended them to
this county, and the Neics could point out
numerous cases where his pocketbook
was open to the poor. He never gave a
dollar in Boosting way, but on the 9TH
er hand he tried to cover it up to avoid
public notice. This is who Mr.. Cable is.
