WALKER AND THE MUGWuMPs.
ThelMnssachusetts Mans Speech Discussed

---~-~ -~-7Oe~So~><
in the House.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-In the House
today, Mr.. Richardson of Tennessee,
called up the resolution of the commit
tee on printing to expunge from the rec
ords the printed remarks of Mr. Walker
of Massachusetts, rejecting upon
Messrs. Williams and Hoar of Massachu-
setts. Mr.. Richardson argued that the
language used by Mr.. Walker under
leave to extend his remarks in the rec
ord, was clearly unparliamentary.
Mr.. Walker defended his remarks as
printed in the record. His reference to
the committee on printing as being
fire sh gave rise to some dispute, but
he was allowed to proceed,
When Mr.. Walkers hour expired,
there was a question raised as to wheth-
er he should be permitted to complete
his remarks. Mr.. Richardson asked
unanimous consent that Mr.. Walker
allowed to proceed another hour.
Messrs. Reed and Boutelle argued that
he was entitled to proceed without limi-
tation, but the House did not agree in
this view, and by unanimous consent,
the request of Mr.. Richardson was final
ly concurred in.
Mr.. Walker then proceeded to have
read various extracts from the record
derogatory to ''Mugwumps." One OF
these extracts was from Mr.. Hatch's
speech in. which that gentleman ex-
pressed his willingness to swap Williams
and Hoar for che Sockless Simpson and
Watson of Georgia.
Mr. Hatch said that though he had
made that speech he never had seen a
gentleman in this House whom he would
be willing to swap for gentleman from
Massachusetts.
The previous question having been or
dered, Mr.. Reed of Maine moved to lay
the resolution ON the table. The vote
resulted-yeas, 0; nays, 91; no quorum.
The House then adjourned.

A Duel at Last.

BRUSSELS, April 23. A duel was
fought this afternoon between Edward
Fox and Hallet Alsop Borrowe, in the
hollows of the sand dunes ON the Belgi-
an coast, near Newport Bains, few
miles from Ostend. 1t resulted in moth
ing worse than triple perforation of the
skirts of Fox's new frock coat, but was
as close call as man often has. Fox
was seconded by William B. Bacon, Jr.,
of Boston, and Borrowe by Harry Vane
Millbank. The duel was result of the
recent trouble between Borrowe and J.
Coleman Drayton, which did not end in a
meeting. Fox published the letters in
that affair, as he claimed, with Borrowe's
consent. Borrowe denied that he was a
party to the publication, and made his
denial in terms which led to the duel.

Reed held several conferences with the
anti-administration Senators and, though
he will say nothing publicly, it is known
that he has joined in active participation
in the movement to accomplish the de-
feat of President Harrison. His griev-
ances have been nursed for some time,
and in private conversation he
denounces President with all the
the biting wit and merciless satire
of which he is SO thoroughly mas
ter. The trouble began during the adj
ministration of President Arthur when
Mr.. Reed recommended the appointment
of Fred Dow, editor of the Portland Ex-
press, as collector of customs at that
port, and was instrumental in securing
his selection. When Mr. Cleveland be-
came president, Mr.. Dow was removed.
subsequently, Mr.. Dow and Mr.. Reed be-

tors united in a request to President
Hrrrison to appoint Mr.. Dow to his old
place. To this, Mr.. Reed objected, but

The Home Record for 1891.

The year just closed has been, per-
haps, the most prosperous in the his
tory of this country. So far from being
plunged into all the commercial and
financial disasters which the opponents
of the Mckinley bill predicted all
branches of business have been in q
tlourishing condition, and everybody
has had plenty to eat, plenty to wear,
and sufficient for other purposes. OF
course much of this prosperity was due
were gathered, and for the surplus OF
which there was an active demand from
Europe. Both our exports and our i'm
ports were greatly increased, and there
was greater demand for labor in con-
sequence of the increased demand for
products of mills, which demand was in
turn due to increased tariff rates on
these products.-The Independent.

the use of protection on any article if

can abroad? Why, bless you, We levy
all duties for protection, because, other
things being equal, the low wages of the
Old World may enable them always to
produce articles more cheaply than they
can be produced by our high wages.
And yet we may drive the price down,
down, for years. If the foreign pro-
ducers keep also cheapening the cost of
production and continue to pay low
wages, their advantage still remains. l

Wool and the Revenue.

That troublesome question about the
revenue remains. The Democrats do
not get rid of it by shutting their eyes,
nor by asserting that large increase of
revenue would follow reduction of du-
ties. This, if true, means that imports
would increase; If duties of so per cent.
on wooden goods yield $35, 200, 900, the
imports must more than double in or
der to get an increased revenue from
duties of less than 40 per cent. The
goods now imported, costing $42 600, 900,
are reckoned to represent 10000, 900
pounds of wool in the raw state. Inor-
der to get larger revenue from duties
of less than 40 per cent. the imports
must be great enough to supplant $685.
600, 900 worth of goods and 0,000, 900
pounds of raw wool, which should be
produced in this country. Nor is that
all. The duties on raw wool yield
So, SOC, 900. To avoid decrease of reve-
nue. the imports of goods must be in
creased enough to yield $il 400, 900,
which with duties averaging less than
40 per cent. would require the importa-
ton Of goods costing in foreign ports at
least Sic, 000,0 900. These goods would
represent consumption of 440, 900, 900
pounds more than the present imports
represent. Neither growers nor manu-
facturers will consent TO such increased
competition. Because the Democrats
dare not propose it, they are in trouble
about the revenue.

be found in Ezekiel SO: 1913.
INTRODUCTORY.
Ezekiel has been aptly called the
Dante OF the prophetic group, a Isaiah
was the Milton. He speaks strong, plain
words, he calls sin what it Is, fllthiness.
Certainly his voice is needed In this
dainty, soft-speaking age. There are a
host OF people abroad who will be Of
Tended at the stern, outspoken language
of this prophet. They do not see any
thing but sentiment in Solomon's ardent
accents of love; and Ezekiel's vocabu-
larry, on the other hand, is harsh, and his
ideas coarse and provincial. The divine
truth Of the Songs OF Solomon and OF
the prophecy of Ezekiel is not In then
hearts, hence they are offended. When
they see God with the rapture Of divine
affection, and see sin with the hate Of
heaven, then they will read Alright, and

Perhaps no better way of showing how

he doesn't get II from here. The figures
show who Is the American farmers

pa city to consume would enable the

To TIE EDITOR OF THE TRIBUNE. Sir:
In the Weekly Tribune of December %,
1881, X. &. liorr says: 'lie also knows
that in little while American ingenuity,
ETC., etc., will produce and sell cheaper TO
the final consumers than had the industry
never been established in this country.
He knows that these things will follow be-
cause exactly such things have followed
in many hundred of instances" Will Mr..
Horr please name twenty or thirty OF these
instances in which the consumers are now
getting products cheaper than they could
getthem from abroad il we had free trade !?
And also say why such products should
not now be admitted free, If we are now
underselling the foreign articles at their
cost of production abroad? am strong
pretectlonist and hope your answer may
silence some carplng fools. Yours re-
Spectfully, EDWIN =. COLLAMER.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. rs, 1891.
Mr.. Collamer calls upon me to name
twenty or thirty articles which consum-
ers are buying at cheaper price than
they can buy them abroad, and asks If
we are now underselling the foreigners,
why should not all such articles be put
on the free list. That, again, is precisely
the manner in which free trader al
ways states the case. | am surprised
that good protectionist conld have
been deceived by free trade Juggling of
words and induced to ask the question
in that form.
Let me repeat once more Il am glad
to do it) ivst what protectionists do
claim. We claim that when we have
the materials in this country out of
which to produce any given article
economically, or when we can get such
materials as cheaply as the foreign
manufacturers can, and when, owing TO
the cheap labor of the Old World,
which gives the foreign manufacturer
an advantage IN cheap production, that
particular article has never been pro-
duced in this country, in such case,
understand, we claim that by placing a
duty on the imported article, at such a
rate as will make up for the difference
in the cost of labor and give our home
producers an advantage in our home
markets, then, by the levying of such a
duty, the industry will be built up in
the United States; and this protection
always results in the production
and sale of the article at a
price lower than 1t was selling
at when we levied the duty, and in all
probability lower than it would then be
selling at had We produced none of that
article in this country. Is not that a
definite proposition? Is it in any way
hard to comprehend? Is it true? That
proposition does not for moment claim
that the foreign producers will not also
cheaper their price for the same article.
If We cheaper the goods for our own
consumers, the result Is that the price
is cheapened all over the world. That
fact is not to be urged against the pro-
teSssiye system, but should be named to
its credit.
Now then, can l name twenty or
thirty articles which areI selling at a
lower price than they were when the
duty was levied, and which have been
constantly growing cheaper and
