HANDS OFF THE TARIFF.
A SIGNIFICANT UTTERANCE BY THE
NATIONAL WOOL WORKERS.

They Oppose the Abolition of the Tax on
Raw wool-why the Act Should Not Be
Tinkered-It should Be Given a Fair
Test All Round First.
Boston, Jan. ST. Special. IAN import
ant phase of the wool tariff agitation was
developed in Boston to-day at the annual
meeting of the National Association of
Wool Manufacturers. These gentlemen
came from all parts of the country and
represented large majority of the capital
invested in the manufacture of woolen
goods. They are the ones who would be
most directly interested in the proposed
abolition OF the tariff on raw wool The
subject was carefully considered in secret
session to-day. and, as result OF the de-
iberatiois, the following strong remon-
STRANGE against any dickering with the,
present tariff law was prepared and adopted
and will be forwarded to Congress at once:
The National Association of Wool Manu-
facturerS respectfully petitions the fnty-
second Congress against any change IN the
tariff act of 1890, particularly schedule Il OF
that act relating to wool and woolens, Tor
the following reasons:
l. The tariff act of 1890 has been in force
but l5 months. 1t is a matter of general
agreement IlltI lGOill lllTec W HN0 gCalS VI
practical operation are required to deter
mine the actual effects of q new tariff upon
the revenues OF the Government, upon the
industries specially affected by new rates of
duty, and upon the consumers of articles to
which such new rates of duty apply.
2. The retention of the wool and woolens
schedule in its present form until it can be
thoroughly tested can work no injury to
wooden manufacturers. There is universal
agreement among manufacturers that the
tariff is now accurately and scientifically
adjusted in its relationship between the
duties on raw material and the finished
product.
3. On the other hand no injury to consum-
ers has resulted from the law, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the increase in duties on
woolen goods by the tariff Of 1890 was grea ter
than in any other schedule (necessitated by
the unfortunate and illogical disproportion
between the wool duties and the goods
duties in the tariff of 1889 there has been no
increase whatovcr in the market price OF
domestic wooden goods. On the contrary,
all the staple woolen goods, and most of the
fancy goods, may now be obtained in the
greatest abundance at a cost to consumers
less than ever before in the history of the
country.
l. What the wooden manufacturer of the
United States now needs, before all elSe is a
period of entire rest from tariff agitation
aiming at radical departure from the con-
ditions upon which the industry is now or
ganized and to which it has been fully ad-
juSted.
g. Measures contemplating a repeal of the
duties of raw material must, in the nature
of things be accompanied by readjustments
of the duties Oh woolen goods. Whatever
advan ntages, if any, might accrue to our
manufacturers from free raw material would
be offset in the first instance by the neces-
sity of readjusting business to these new
rates of duties on goods.

CONTINENTAL MONEY.

Secretary Foster, in his recent speech
at Vermiilion, Ohio, gave historical
account of American currency from the
time of the colonies to the present day,
and made the following allusion to the
paper money of the Continental period:
ut has become more or less fashion
able in some quarters lately to denounce
congress for it's action during the war
in borrowing money honestly to main
tain the government, instead of paying
the nations debts in greenbacks. Ex-
perience. with the continental currency
shows tie folly of the course these peo-
pie would have approved, and the wis.,
dom of what was actually done. The
continental congress was not to blame
for what it did. It had no authority
from the colonies to levy taxes. and its
only resource was to resort to the issue
of paper money. The cost of the revo-
lutionary war fell on the patriotic peo-
pie who received the currency. The to-
ries, who were the copperheads of those
times, refused the Continental money.
and were the only ones who escaped

ALLIANCE RAILWAY LEGISLA-
TON.

A Contemplated Enactment That
tries Of Kansas.
After rejecting the senate railroad bill,
in 1891, the alliance house deemed it
important that something should be
done for record" A maximum rate
bill was hastily prepared, which, on
February 18th was introduced and the
same day advanced to second reading
and referred to committee. On the 18th
that committee reported the bill back to
the house with the recommendation that
it be passed, having had it under con-
sideration two full days, doing in that
time the work that usually occupies two
to three weeks when performed by
experts.
As sent to the senate, the bill was
crude, imperative, and of positive harm
to the shippers Of Kansas had it become
law. Reaching the senate on the 18th,
during the late hours, there was no ex-
pectation of its acceptance, nor did the
house desire it's adoption.
Among the many Ieculiarities OF this
bill was the material increase of rates
for shorter distances, which would have
worked material injury to the interior
cities and the farmers desiring to find
market there. The following may be
taken as sample, comparing the rates
then in operation with the rates pro-
posed by this house measure.

The San Francisco Argonaut, in
Analysing the democratic platform, says:
1.-THE chief craft Of diplomacy-to con-
ceal meaning in utterance and confound
understanding in ambiguous phrase, to
employ many words and express moth
ing-is the conspicuous quality in all
that is said in reference to explanation
of the democratic campaign cry of tariff
reform The nature and measure Of
the proclaimed reform is studiously
withheld. Instead, loud-sounding but
utterly senseless phrases are inter-
posed of ubiquitous impositions' to
be righted upon a constitutional and
equitable basis 1t may be stretched
to take in a mountain; it can be
shrunk to the dimensions of q MOLE
hill-to the span of the girth of
Dana's stuffed prophet to the tenuity
of 'Sockless Simpsons mental grasp.
There is a shadowy idea of revising
tariff scaling them down in
some instances, taking them entirely off
in others, and increasing the rate in
still others; but there is neither guide
nor guage, token nor hint. 1t is as I'M
certain as the now you see it, now you
DON'T of the race track fakir."

Cholera In England.

LONDON, August Cliff all deaths that ara
being reported from Asiatic cholera are true,
there is no doubt of Great Britain having a
visitation of the dreadful scourge. From
Gravesend, Swansea, Glasgow, Dundee and
other towns in England, Scotland and Wales
reports come of deaths from the disease.
showing that the efforts of the health officers
to keep it out of the country have proved
frultless. And now comes the report that a
person had died from Asiatic cholera at Boil
ton, large manufacturing town which lies
twelve miles northwest of Manchester.
The place is one of the principal seats of
the English cotton manufacture and thou
sands of mill operators live there. The per-
mission given by the health officials at Mid
dlesboro for the landing of the crew of the
steamer Corona from Hamburg, promises to
have most serious results. The vessel was
placed in quarantine after one of the crew
was found to be suffering with cholera and
was Immediately removed to the cholera hos
pltal. The appearance of the disease in
Swansea awakened the port authorities to
the responsibility of their position and a
meeting was summoned to decide upon meas
ures for the prevention of any further inva-
sion.

whether be shipped or hauled, Of the
farmer living by the latter, that he
would be forced to quit business or be-
come more and more involved each
year.
Great was the justice and wisdom of
their measure, born and matured in two
days.
In passing it might be mentioned
that while the state allows the attorney
general $4,000 year, this bill contem-
plated giving him 500 day extra,
whenever engaged in prosecuting rail-
way companies, to be paid by the COM
panies on the gridiron, most liberal
and bene6oent provision, and a cheap
one, to the state.
Whenever any railroad was deemed
guilty of contempt in failing to report,
through any of its officers or agents,
any matter required by the commission
ers, the commission may punish such
road by establishing a rate of transport
tation not more than 10 per cent lower
than the rate provided for by this act,
or established by the commission" As
the board was to receive power to call
upon any officer or agent to report d.
rectly to the commission, producing
papers or giving Information as to
freight and passengers, station agents
ard others were liable at any time to
bring about this punishment of reduced
rates.
After the commissioners have fixed
hn do
ing to classification, and the roads have
caused to be printed the new schedules,
which the commissioners may change
every ten days, it is made the duty of
the various county attorneys and sher-
ifs to compare the company's schedule
with that prepared by the commission
,ers in order to see that there have
been no typographical or other errors.
The penalty for failure to perform this
duty is removal from office of such
county officers.
The railway company is required to
furnish cars, upon demand, sufficient to
ship all freight offered, regardless of the
seasons of car famines or blockades,
under penalty of $50 exemplary dam
ages and attorney fees.
There are fifty-seven pages of this
remarkable attempt at railway legisla-
ton, filled with impracticable and un-
reasonable orders, alike injurious to the
shipper and the railway company. As
tho bill has been carefully preserved by
the State Historical society, every citi.
zen may examine it by calling for house
bill 743, session of 1891.

SENATOR ALL1soN's analysis OF the
Holman brand of democratic economy
shows that it consists of two principal
elements: starvation and buster. The
democrats starve the navy, the coast
defenses, and the needed Improvements
Of great waterways, while pet and petty
creeks are cared for in the river and
harbor bill. The democrats buster in
claiming to be particularly economical
when, after all, as ex-Speaker Reed
pointed out, they appropriate S5O,OOO.-
600 more than the republicans did in
the first session of the Fifty-first con-
gress, and would have had to appropri-
ate still more if some republican appro-
priations were not still unexpended and
available.

THE following British view Of the
American tariff, being an editorial in
the Sheffield Daily Telegraph. will prob
ably be read with pleasure by those
Kansans who still attribute all our Ills
to the Mckinley bill: The promoters
of the Mckinley tariff meant it to push
forward the policy of America for the
Americans. One method of realizing it
was to keep all work within their own
dominions. The country was to be
made self-supporting; what could be
produced at home was not to be bought
abroad. That was the keynote OF the
Mckinley scheme, and it is working out
the idea of its designers with the pre-
cision and effectiveness Of machine"
The Globe-republican. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1889-1910, 1892-09-02
following table will show:

The old rates for the greater distances
we're fixed in conformity with the shorter
distances, in order to enable Kansas
mines to compete with Missouri mines,
as the distances given are from Kansas
City. Had the proposed rates gone in
to effect, most of the Kansas mines
would have been forced to shut down,
and consumers would have had no more
cheap coal.
1t has been found necessary, under
existing circumstances, to give the same
rates to the river from all the salt mines
in Kansas, in order to fully develop that
industry. This creation of the house
railroad committee would have closed
all the salt works in the state, except
those at Hutchinson, which is nearer the
river by from: thirteen to fifty miles than
are the other works. The proposed
rates were as follows: Hutchinson,
1890; Sterling, 5000; Kingman,
$1,000; Wellington, 5000; Anthony,
S11.S0. Or to st. Joseph Hutchinson,
5000; Wellington, Sill. When the
close margin on salt is considered it will
be seen that that industry would have
been paralyzed except at one point,
which would have been created a
monopoly.
In addition to the injustice given
above, this same house bill 743 contem-
plated a still greater injustice in the dis
elimination it would have worked
among the farmers of the state in their
grain and other shipments. The roads
Of the state were divided into three
classes--A, B and c. A class consisted
of those roads earning over $4,000 a
nile annually. B class comprised all
those reads earning between $4,000 and
$4,000 a mile, while G class included
those earning less than $4,000 a mile,
the total mileage of Is system being
averaged. The class A roads were to
be permitted to charge 80 per cent Ct
the fixed charges, while the class G
roads were given the privilege Of charg-
ing 10 per cent more than the fixed
charges, difference of 20 per cent. The
reader fully understands the network Of
roads covering this state and how they
cross and re-cross each other. Class A
roads would reach into the same coun-
ties crossed by class G roads, either par
allelling or crossing each other at
angles. A farmer living within four or
five miles of a class c line and within
ten to fifteen miles of a class A line
would be forced to pay 20 per cent
greater freight rates than if his distances
were reversed, or incur the expense and
labor of an extra wagon haul Lands,
crops and other conditions might be the
same, but tie man living near a FIRST
class line would have 20 per cent the
advantage OF the man living near a third
GLASS line. and not only result in making
still weaker an unproductive railway,
but would - add to the axpense.

Homestead Strikers Confident.

HOMESTEAD, PA. August 3I-There is
much excitement over orders for the search
for the guns of the captured Pinkertons.
Much of the reluctance in giving up the arms
lies in the fac. that the possession would fix
upon Homesteaders completely In riots, and
the evidence be used in ensuing suits. Two
months ago the great works here shut down.
ID SO far as the men are concerned there IS
NO weakening, nor do the majority express
any doubt OF victory.
1t was learned that the Plnkerton agency
some time ago sent forty men into the mill
as non-union workmen. These deserted In
small squads and were taken into the strik-
ers' ranks, gained the confidence of the
Amalgamated leaders. and it is said gathered
considerable evidence against parties who
took part in the rioe of July =, against
whom they will make information. 1t is al

section. There was no effort to pre-

they were burned, how was it possible
to count them: As both factions SO
