Especial Despatch to the Telegram!
NEW YORK, April ,. Some idea of the
present wonderful growth of the tpye-
writer business may be gained from the
fact that the sale Of Remington typcwriters
for January and February, 1892, exceeded
those of the corresponding months of 1891
by 100000. The great and constantly
gaining popularity of the Remington is
shown by the fact that the business has
more than doubled within three years.

TARIFF HAS THE FLOOR AGAIN.
Harter Speaks for Free Wool-DolIiver
Attacks the Democracy.

Harter Speaks for Free Wool-DOlIiver
Attacks the Democracy.
WASHINGTON March 30-The house yes
terday "returned to its mutton" and tack
led the tariff question once more. Harter
made the principal Democratic speech, de-
claring himself for direct taxation and free
trade as far as it could be made practical
ble--tariff for revenue only. He pointed
charge against the duty on steel rails by
pointing to the high price of that product.
when DalZell of Pennsylvania inquired
whether it was not a fact that during
large portion of last year steel rails were
sold in New York at a lower price than in
London. Harter replied that he believed
the gentleman was mistaken, but if not,
this only proved that there was no neces-
sity for a protective tariff on steel rails,
and it was robbery to permit high tax to
remain upon steel rails.
Tariff Intrenches High Prices.
Dalzell asked who was robbed by this
tax. Harter said that temporarily, when
competition had a home outlet, prices
might go down under fair system of
tariff, but when combinations were
formed prices were put up sky high to the
Americ an consumer, and were intrenched
behind the Republican tariff.
McCreary of Kentucky favored the free
wool bill The tariff question was increas.
ing in Importance every year. He at
tackled the Mckinley bill and would re-
peal every line of it if he could, but he
yielded to the judgment of his colleagues,
who believed it was better to move slowly
and repeal certain portions of it first, with
out attacking it all at once.
The Democratic Idea Defined.
Deforest of Connecticut favored the bill, d.,
and spoke enthusiastically of the tariff
policy adopted by the Democratic party.
Raines of New York interrupted him and
inquired what the Democratic party meant
when it declared in 1860 in favor of ag-
gressive free trade throughout the world.
Deforest said that he was not aware that
the Democratic party had so declared.
That party insisted that these necessary
duties should be laid on at such rates
and with such equity as shall in the high
est possible degree incidentally protect
American industry and promote the gen.
eral welfare. They. believed in tariff

Republicans, as predic ted, will not recon.
slider the vote by which the Catch bill
failed to pass. Yesterday afternoon the
committee appointed by the Republican
house caucus Monday evening made public
an address to the anti prohibition Re-
puhlicans in answer to the resolutions
adopted by their convention. The address
says that it is impracticable to act on the
Catch bill again, and that the Republicans
in the house could not have done other
wise than act as they did under the plat
form of their party last election.

FREE COINAGE IN THE SENATE.
An Estimate That Beats stewards Meas
ure by a Tie Vote.

uTe DN lie Nolc.
WASHINGTON, March 3O-Interest in the
silver question was transferred from the
house to the senate yesterday by the an
noune ement by Stewart that he would call
up his free coinage bill on Monday next
immediately after the morning business.
The bill is now on the calendar and may
be taken up at any time But it has an
adverse report of the finance committee
against it and in order to get the bill be-
fore the senate for extended discussion a
majority vote will be necessary, and there
the test will come.
They Know How Hill viii Vote.
A canvass of the senate made by Vest
and confirmed by Carlisle shows that ten
Democratic senators will vote against the
bill They are Hill of New York, McPher-
son and Blodgett of New Jersey, Gibson
and White of Louisiana, Carlisle of Ken
lucky, Palmer of Illinois, Villas of Wiscon-
SIN, and Butler of South Carolina. Cor
man is placed on the doubtful list, but
from the fact that he voted for free COIN
age in 1891 it is presumed that he will do
so again. Gorman's colleague in the last
congress, Wilson, voted against free coin
age, but his successor, Gibson, is placed in
the free silver rank in the estimate made
Morton viii Decide the Vote.
According to this estimate thirty-four
Republicans and the ten Democrats named
will vote against free silver. There are
lightweight members of the senate, and
if the estimate is correct the opposing vote
will be even, thus throwing the deciding
vote on Vice President Morton, who will
vote against free silver, and thus kill the
bill. But if German should have changed
his views either as to the soundness of the
free silver doctrine or as to the policy of
the Democracy relative thereto he would
decide the matter.

This is and ever has been the doctrine of
the Democratic party. Any other system
would not promote the general welfare,
but would only and fatally wound and in
jure the country. The duty on wool had
the tendency to raise the price of wool to
the nian who produced it.
DolIiver Calls it Childish.
Dolliver of Iowa, in opposing the bill,
said that the Mills bill only reduced the
tariff from A to AZ per cent. II the argu-
nent by which cotton ties and binding
twine are put on the free list is not abso.
lutely worthless then the Democratic
party showed most astounding treachery to
the public welfare. The argument had
been refuted many times in this house and
the fact that, the house being almost
unanimously Democratic, sent here, as
they claim, as protest against the Nc.

The measures proposed by Democrats,

BILE impression upon the long list of items

stand against the popgun programme of

The Democratic system of competition,
system that juggled with rates, with the
skin of magic itself, reduced the tariff
only per cent.
Says It's Amazing and Ludicrous.
by their own showing the Democratic
party compromised with cannibals, made
peace with thieves, compounded the felony
OF burglars, accepted the apology of pick
pockets and acquiesced i'll the new slavery
that put its fetters upon 100000 of peo-
ple-an for paltry concession of per

the process 10y which the Democratic hum
ger for free trade was satisfied in lSSS, the
present effort to silence the cravings of the
same hunger with three broken doses of
their favorite medicine is still more
amazing and more obviously ludicrous.
If the Democratic party exercised in
politics the same instincts which distin-
guished them in private life they would
now be on their feet apologizing for what
they said last year He felicitated them
upon the progress they had made.

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT SPEECH
Cnrious Coincidence in the House Obit-
uary Oratory.

SufIpus coincidence IN the house oD1t-
uary Oratory.
WASHINGTON, March 80. There is blood
on the face of the moon which shines on
Representatives Tim Campbell and Bel
den, from New York. 1t all comes from
Campbelrs lack of speechmaker' abil-
ity. 1t was brought to light yesterday
mording when the Congressional Record,
showing the speeches of the two men at
the Spinola obsequies last Saturday, was
read. Belden made his speech, but Camp
bell had contented himself with having
his printed in The Record. 4 comparison
shows them to be identical in thought
and in many parts are word for word.
The question was, who was the filcher?
Campbell Cant Make n Speech.
Belden says that he wrote his own
speech as he delivered it, which is doubt
less true. Campbell says: Il am not a
speechmaker, and everybody knows it. l
got fooled on that speech, and that is all
there Is to the business and this is also
doubtless correct. Belden wrote his speech
and according to reports Felix McCloskey
went to Belden and secured his speech to
show to Widow Spinola for correction.
Whether he copied it, or having read it re-
tanned unconsciously certain passages in
his memory is not known. Suffice it to
say the report has it that he gave Tim a
speech almost duplicate of Belden's.
