Gov. Mckinley Takes the Query for His
Text.
MADISON, July 29.--In the afternoon Gov.
Mckinley addressed an audience of $1,000
people, speaking on the political issues.
He said: "What Is tariff reform any way?
Who can tell2 Cleveland said several
years ago he knew nothing about the tariff.
From the date OF that uttsrancs down to
the present time hs has given no evidence
of having increased his original store of
majority in congress- passed bill to untax
wool for the sole benefit of New England
manufacturers and to the injury Of all
farmers, while lowering the duty on all
wool articles a man ia counted on to wear.
II passed q bill to lift the tariff on
cotton ties, for the benefit of the south,
while almost identical iron bands in other
callings retain the old duty. If this il the
economic policy of the democratic party it
might better be called no policy at all, for
it obviously represents no system and can
produce no uniform result
On the question of taxation Mckinley
declared that the country must raise $4OO,-
100000 annually TO defray the expenses of
the federal government. There are only
two ways possible-levyino a direct tax on
the people or al import duty on the prod
ucts of foreign nations. Ihere can be no
evasion. The nation must adopt
one or the other. Mckinley dwelt
on the disadvantages of the direct
tax system. and quoted Jefferson and Mad
ison as earnest opponents of it in times OF
peace. Thirty years of protection have
placed this country in a financial position
uniivaled among nations. Thirty years
ago 95 per cent of the hardware Q Of the coun-
try was of English make now 95 per cent is
American. The democratic revenue tariff

free trade has nothing to do with strikes
and lookouts, nothing to do with differ
enoes between employer and employe. No
Kinley accused the democratic congress Of
defeating the Worlds fair bill and doing
nothing for tho benefit of the country.

IT NETTED HIM $40.

Tho Chicago Man Who Got Ahead Of Two
Pickpockets.
Joseph r. Lambert a young and wealthy
Chicago merchant, who il now on his way
homo with q charming bride from San
Francisco, had q little adventure while here
that nettsd him $40 in cash. says the Ex-
aminer.
The prospective bridegroom stayed at the
Palace hotel, and while there the early part
of one evening, just before his marriage, he
heard An alarm of FIRE. There is moth ing
which appeals 60 vlvidly to the Oh icapo
imagination AZ the olamor of the fire bell.
and naturally enough this fellow aban-
doned the sweet thoughts thas had been
occupying his mind and rushed forth TO the
anticipated scene Of destruction. It was
fire on Fourth street. an ordinary San Fran
cisco conaaRration, which could be distin-
guished in the electric light by the engines
and the crowd. The Chicago man beheld
it. and as he stopped-perhsps in eager ex-
pectancy OF some great outburst of flame
a couple of young women dashed up to him.
"Oh, save us, sir. Save usn' cried one.
throwing herself into the hero's arms.
'Yes. yes; save us"' chimed in the
other, as she clung to the Chioagoan's right
arm.
The dreaded danger did not seem 10 ma
terialize. ald when the eastern merchant
ELECTED the assertion that the girls were
afraid OF the fire, he assured them that the
safest plan would be to travel along up the
street. There was no need OF repeating the
advice, for the timid creatures hurried away
as If really on the wings OF fright.
Then Lambert began to ponder, and be-
fore the pondering was fairly com pleted he
discovered that two $40 gold pieces had
been taken from his trousers pocket. II
was too late TO catch the women, and so the
stranger idled over to Fifth street, thinking
about the process. He went TO Market
street. and near the Baldwin hotel he told
of the iobbery to a couple Of policemen.
Presently the pair Of pick chanoed
that way. demure and apparently happy.
The owner of the double eagles recognized
the women, aud with Chicago boldness he
stepped before them.
"Give nae ny money" he demanded.
The piekpookets were shocked. They
said they we're insulted. They said they
would have the rude man arrested. But
the rude man was firm. He wanted his
money. and disregardino the policemen,
he would take it then aud there. That's
what he said. Trouble was imminent when
up. He saw the face of the adversary and
then he volunteered to pay the desired
amount. He counted out the gold.
Now give NE $40 for my trouble" said
the visitor from Chicago. and it WAS given.
The pickpockets wee then allowed to de-
part, though the two policemen saw the
transaction. Lambert desired that no arrest
be made. and his wish was respected.

the house Wheeler (Ala.) took Watson
pamphlet that drunken members reel
through the aislss and drunken members
speak on grave subjects. Watson declared
that every word in the pamphlet was liter
ally true and he was ready TO defend every
word. Watson said there was not charge
in tho paragraph in question that had not
been mRde from the press gallery and cir
oulated throughout the country, and now
because he made it and becnuse ten mem
bers OF the peoples party we're in the power

peal from your tyranny to the fair sense Of

publican side.] Amid many Interruptions
Watson continued. He said the only charge
at which the democrats took otfense was
that members got drunk Ut tho bar which
the house permitted to be run IN the base
msnt of the capitol. They had planted the
tree. why wonder at its fruit?
"Ihis congress-" said Watson in conclu-
sion. "can do what it likes about that par
aRraph, but l stand by il ast the exact truth,
and defy you to contradict it." Cries Of

incident created much excitement, but
members contented themselves with hiss
ing Watson. Finally Boatner introduced
resolution for the appointment Of a COM

pointed Boatner. Wolverton, Buchanan,

A USEFUL CONTRAST.

Wages Up in Fifteen Unprotected Indus
tries, Down in Fifteen Protected Lines.
WASHINGTON. July 29.-Thers was no
quorum for some time after the opening of
the senate this morning. Stewart seized
the opportunity to make a3tEilver speech.
Carlisle addressed the senate on Hale's
tion and tariff for revenue only. replying
to the speeches of Hale and Aldrich. The
drift of Carllsle's speech, which was forti-
fed BY facts and figures, was that the Mo-
Kinley tariff act had not, within the
twenty-seven months covered by the IN
vestiRation of tho sub. com mittee, reduced
the prices of commodities or increased the
wages of labor, but on the contrary, had
interfered with and obstruoted the opera
tion Of the natural laws governing these
subjects. He instanoed fifteen general oc-
cupations in unprotected industries where
the average rate Of wages had gone up, and
fifteen other trades in highly protected in
tin plate, he asserted the Mckinley act gave
not to the importer, not to the government,
not to dealers. but directly to Welsh tin
plate manufacturers. $4G29, ,750. or more
than one-half the value OF the plants of the
ifty-eiRht tin plate works of Wales. The
Mckinley act had proved to be not for the
benefit of American consumers, but Welsh
manufacturers.
Carlisle was followed by Proctor, who
attacked some of Csrlisle's positions by
quotations from an interview with Rogers,
managing partner of the Wabash tin plate
mnnufa curing, ths principal point of
which was that the election of Cleveland
would be victory for free trade. and the
effect would be to reduce American wages
to the level of English wages. Sherman
and Allison defended the Mckinley act in
brief speeches and Hawley obtained the
floor for tomorrow. The anti-option bill
was laid aside informally. The Presidents
message. vstoing the McGarrahan land
claim bill, was read and postponed until
December, and the senate adjourned.
