Why child can answer such q

American manufacturers put their

tariff price, and put the profit in
their pocket, as in all such cases,

outrageousness of the whole tariff

MARYLAND FOR CLEVELAND
The Democratic voters OF Mary
land believe in Mr. Cleveland with
faith that has no waycring. They
honor him and trust him as few
men in public life arc honored and
trusted, and they would undoubt-
edly resent at the polls any schem-
ing that should result in his de-
feat at the Chicago convention.
The why the Democratic masses
are 80 faithfully committed to Mr..
Cleveland is because they believe
him to be an honest man. who
deals in honest politics. Every
utterance from him strikes with
force, because those who listen be-
lleve that he speaks not TO influence
the shaping Of events i'm his own
interests, but TO influence public
policy for what IS wisest and best

WHITNEY ON THE SITUATION. -
Elk Secretary William G. Whitney,
before leaving for Europe, Wednes-
day, was interviewed on the politi-
cal situation. He believes that Mr..
Cleveland will be nominated and
elected.
"Mark what 1 say" said he,
Cleveland will be nominated and
elected. All these people who get
abused because they don't inter
view for him are friendly to him
personally. No cheers were as en-
thusiastic in Tammauy Hall last
October as those that went up for
Cleveland. Ask McMillin, of Ten
nessee. lie spoke in Tammany
Hall. 1t is not any reflection on
Senator Hill or any other candidate.
The issue necessarily determines
the candidate. That is all there is
of it." MIR. Whitney continued
l am not one Of those who think
that an army will fight just as we'll
under one leader as another. There
is such thing as natural leader
for an occasion, and in this casa it
is Cleveland. Ia 1876 it was Gov
ernor Tilden. The situation made
the nomination in 1876, and it will
make it in 1892. 1t is not nects-
sary to be opposed to Governor Hill,
or to any candidate, or to deprecate
their merits. If you go back eight
years you will see that the course of
events has made Mr.. Cleveland the
necessary choice of the Democratic
party at this time. Mr.. Cleveland
raised the standard under which
the hosts of Democracy stand and
they look to him as their lead
er. 1t is not dispsraging other
men to say that he is the one great
National figure at this moment in
the Democratic party, the legiti-
mate National leader of the present
live, active forces that control the
movement Of the party.
In this connection 1T is interest
ing to note that according to a
Washington dispatch, "Mr. Cor
man now says very pointedly to
his friends that he believes Cieve-
land will be nominated by acclama-
ton. "If Mr.. German says this, it
means something. Mr., German
Will be the most powerful political
parsonage at the Chicago Conven-
ton. He is to-day the ablcst and
most practical politician in either
party. OF him Mr.. Whitney says !:
No man has sacrificed more or
worked harder for the party than
he. The victory eff 1884 was under
his management, assumed by him
when no one else would undertake
to run the campaign. A man
makes terrible sacrifice IN taking
up such thing. His fight against
the Force bill was another great
piece of work for the party and its
principles. lie is an able and most
influential man in the party

The Baltimore Investigation.

VALLEJO, Cal, Jan. 11.-Nothing very
new was elected at the Baltimore investi
cation to-day, the evidence being chiefly
directed to corroborating that already
taken and to showing the perniclous activ-
ity of the Valparaiso police on the day of
the riot. A score of witnesses were ex-
amined. All were arrested by the police
and confined in Jail four or five days.
The great majority did not know
there had been riot until arrested and
taken to Jail where they found their
bruised and bleeding shipmates. Several
witnesses testified the police first made
known their de- ire to arrest them by at
lacking them from Behind. striking them
with their gun butts or cutlasses.
None of these men made ally re-
sistence, although two or three startled
by the sudden assault tried to run
away. In such cases they were chased by
mounted officer, knocked down and
beaten. One was stabbed by the police
with fixed bayonet and did not recover
for twenty-six days Search for the men
who expressed to the Valparaiso court their
approval of this action as asserted by the
prosecutor fiscal, in his report, is. be-
coming almost as hopeless as inquiry for
tue man 'that struck Billy Patterson"
The universal testimony is they were
sober very shortly before being attacked.
No one witnessed the attack on Tlrn-
bull, or knows the circumstances. He is
the man who received eighteen knife
wounds in the back, and died in a few
days He made dying statement, which
will probably be put in evidence to-mor-

decided to lay over without action until
next Friday the nominations for circuit
judges. This was done at the request of
Voorhees,, who desires to enter a protest
against the confirmation of Woods.
A large number of bills were reported
from committees and placed on the calen-
dar.
A communication from Ryan, American
minister to Mexico, to the late Senator
Plumb, suggesting it would be a generous
and neighborly act to return to Mexico the
trophies of war captured by United States
troops in the Mexican war Of iS47, was pre-
sented and referred to the committee on
foreign affairs.
Senator Teller offered a resolution pro-
viding for an international monetary con-
ference and it was referred to the conf
mittee on finance.
The resolution declares it Is the deter
mined policy of the United States govern
ment to use both gold and silver as full
legal tender money either under the ratio
now existing in the United States, or
under one that may hereafter be estab-
lished by the United States alone or in &C
cord with other nations. 1t directs the
President to invite the governments of the
countries composing the so-called Latin
union, and such other Latons as he
may deem advisable, to Join the United
States in a conference and to adopt a
| common ratio between gold and
silver for the purpose of establishing
| internationally the use of bimetallic money
and of securing fxity Of relative values
! between those metals. Whenever all the
governments or any three of them shall have
agreed to unite, and whenever, = IN the
! Judgment of the President, sufficient
number of nations shall have entered in
to such international agreements the Presi
dent is to declare the ratio so fixed to be the
| existing ratio in the United States. The
President is to appoint no less than three
nor more than five commissioners whose
reports to him shall be transmitted tt
| Congress and who shall each receive So,
| 600 and reasonable expenses.
Teller spoke at some length in advocacy
of his resolution.
Stewart submitted statement IN con
nection with resolution he offered las
week instructing the judiciary COMMITTEE,
to inquire what further legislation is neces
sary 10 secure the coinage of silver pro
vided for under the Bland act. Replyin.
to query OF Mitchelrs, Stewart said of thu
act of 1890 it certainly did not repeal tina
portion of the Blair act The resolution
was referred to the finance committee.
Morgan introduced a bill, which was re
ferred, FORGETTING to the United States tn

A nemocartic Blow at McKtnIeylsm.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Republican
principle of reciprocity, as embodied in the
Mckinley act and practiced by the present
administration, was assailed for the first
time by the Democrats this session, in a
resolution which Representative Brecken-
ridge, of Kentucky, asked unanimous con-
sent to offer in the House to-day. This res
olution, the introduction of which was OBJ
jected TO by Burrows, recites the letters
recently written by the secretary of state
by direction of the President to the diplo-
matte representatives of Venzuela, Nicara-
qua, Colombia, Honduras and other ma
tions. 1t further recites such action by
the President as unconstitutional, onerous
and unjust, and instructs the committee on
ways and means to report before FEBRUARY
% bill repeating the third section of the
Mckinley act. he President is also au-
tnorized, without further legislation, to
declare the ports of the United States free
and open to all products of any nation on
the American hemisphere upon which no
export duties are imposed so long as such
nation shall admits to it's ports free of
taxes -four, cornmeal and other breaGstuffs,
preserved meats, fish, vegetables and
fruits, cottonseed OIL rice, lumber, agri-
cultural implements. ETC., or such other
products as may be agreed upon. NJ be-
lieve," said Breckenridge to an Associated
Press reporter, 1.-The third section of the
Mckinley act is unconstitutional. Also it
is not only useless as regards our legisla-
ton but really burdensome to our own
citizens for it imposes duties which they
have to pay and where this retaliatory
measure is adopted once as to certain ma
tions, it makes an unjust indiscrimination
which NAV not also be arbitrary but NAV
be not free from corruption.
And YETI continued Breckenridge, "be-
ing in favor of the freest possible trade
consistent with the raising of the needed
revenues for the government ] appended
instructions to report in lieu of the section
true reciprocity provision. l do not CO.
tirely agree with some leading Democratic
statesmen as to reciprocity treaties and
arrangements. There are grave objections
TO them, but | think them better than pro-
hibitory tariffs and if we cannot enact such
revenue laws as l desire, l prefer to see
re ;iprocal arrangements made so far as
! they can be with any or all nations, believ-
ing every movement in favor of free trade
will serve as an educational process ac-
customing the country to better views and
practices in our commercial relations"
Breckinredge's resolution appears to be
well received by the majority of the WAYS
and means committee. 81 think very
favorably of the proposition said Chair
man Springer. ''Of course | cannot say
what the committee may decide to do
am in favor of reciprocity, but whether L,
would be willing 10 go to the extent pro-
vided in the article mentioned in the reso-
luton, l cannot say. That question, how
ever, is a mere matter of detail and does
not affect the vital principle embodied liz
