1he Free binding Twi inc Bill.

WAsHrSGToS CITY, Feb 17.-Bryan of Ne
braska has prepared a report TO accompany the
free binding twine bill which will be reported
to the committee some day this week. The re-
port says in part:
The tariff on binding twine can not be justi-
fed except upon tho principle that the taxing
power should be used TO prevent importation
entirely: that this principle, besides being un-
supported by constitutional authority, would
destroy all the income from imports and COM
pei us to look to some other source for the ne
cesssry revenue. Twenty of the cordage
ana binding twine factories of the thirty-five in
the country are owned by the National
Cordage Company OF New York and they
ptoduee 60 per cent. of the total output. In 1850
there were consumed in the United States $1,000
tons OF twiue, all of which but 1000 tons was
made from foreign grown iibers II seveu-tenths
of the per pound tax were added to the price, as
is probable, this tax cost the farmers of the
country in the year 1890 alone S7C0,000 and this
does not include tho large additional sum
cbs=ged for profits on the increased price by the
various mjddlemen. Not 81 of this large tax
reached the treasury, and there eau be no ex-
cuse for allowing this trust to continue the ex-
action OF this tribute.

TIE discussion began without any limitation

charActerizing II as a $4,000 folly. He bro
tested against taking the money out OF the
pockets o. his people to Pc for boarding schools
for Indians. They were as well able to work as
the people he represented. Colored people work
day after day to furnish the money appropriated
for the Indians. vet the United states refused to
give the colored people dolsr for education.
He did not think that the schools had q civil
izing influence upon the Indians.
Watson OF Georgia took advantage Of the
latitude Of the debate to reier to the agricultural
interests OF the country.
He argued that the products OF the farmer
have been greatly decreased, owing TO the Hnsn-

THE WORLDS WHEAT SURPLUS.
Growing Smaller Every Year-Farmers,
IL United, Could Fix the Price.

WASHINGTON CITY. Fob. 1.-THE silver ques-
tion was broached again this morning. and this
time it was in the hearing before the House
committee on agriculture on the anti-optlon
bill, which has been under discussion by the
committee for the past two weeks.
Charles A. Pillsbury. the Minneapolis miller,
was on the stand He stated in the course of bis
remarks:
The worlds surplus supply of wheat is stead
lily dwindiing and being drawn ON each year to
meet the increasing consumption of wheat. IL
any one person had owned the wheat crop raised
in the United states this year, ii would have
been possible to get $50 bushel for 1t from
Europe just as easy as 90 cents, because Europe
had to have it, Russia had none to export, and
India had shipped its surplus during the
previous year
Lew.s-Then the statistical position of wheat
has been growing better for five years past, and
the price, except for the spurt this year, has
been growing weaker.
Pllobury-Thats so.
Lewis-Does not the value of money have a
great deal to do with it? Isn't money worth
more than ever?
Pillsbury-I think, as a whole. that a dollar
will buy more goods now than ever.
iewis-if we had N,jJ0,c00, 600 instead Of $780,
UOOJ0 in circulation would not the farmers get
more Tor their wheat?
Pillsbury-More nominal dollars. but perhaps
they would not buy so much. Pillsbury ad-
mitted that short selling alone would not nc
count Tor he decline in wheat which was too
great 20 be charceable to one cause alone In
his address to the committee, Plilsbury advo-
Gated the passage OF an anti-Ontion hih. Pills
bury said there should have been high prices
Tor wheat this yea-. but, partly in consequence
OF short selling, millers and others were living
from hand to mouth. The world was drawing
on the surplus supply of wheat each year for
the consumption was steadily increasing.
Clifford, of Kankakee, Ill, said that in a sur
plus-producing country no good effect could fol-
low short" selling. for "shorts" always wanted
lower pricss. He thought the law should be so
framed as to give the right TO buy property fo-
future delivery, and when the delivery was CON
tractei for TO sell these contracts esths before
or after delivery.
The subcommittee Of the Senate judiciary
committee today heard further arguments upon
the pending Washbura anti-option bill. Alfred
R0mer OF the New York Produce Exchange,
Charles Hsmmil and Thomas A. Wright, of the
Chicago Board OF Trade. and William Cudahy

PErLApELPHrA, Feb l7.-An address viii be
issued tomorrow by the executive committee of
the Pennsylvania Republican Association, whose
object is 70 prevent Quay's reelection to the
United State Senate. The adde's especially
opposes him for the following reasons:
Because he has forced unpopular nominations
aud platforms which brought defeat 20 the

the defeat of the party's candidate 70 achieve
some personal end; because he aided ia deiegt-
ing legislation to secure g free ballot and fair
count in the south, 70 the enactment Of which
the Republican party was pledged; because he
has, by words and actions. discredited

Office holders to devote their time and money to
political work in his behalf: beeause OF his at
teIapts 70 embsrrass the present administration,
due 10 the fact tha. federal offices in this state
were not placed entirely at his disposal; because
he repeatedly opposed the nomination o. James
G. Blaine for the presidency when the
overwhelming sentiment Of the Republican vote
of the state was favorable to Blaine's seisctlon
because, so long IS he dared. he opposed every
change ot party rules calculated 20 increase t1e

Opposition to Utah Local Government.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 1.-THE House com
mittee on territories gave hearing this morn
ing TO the opponents of the proposed legislation
TO give local government to the territory Of
Utah, as proposed in the bill introduced BY
Caine, delegate from that territory. The COM
mittee was addressed by o. W. Powers, repre-
seRting the Liberal party of Utah He said;
That party was composed of Democrats and
Republicans, who for the time being had east
aside their national political prefe-ences and had
Joined hands for the purpose of building up an
American state in the mountains. 1t was Ge-
cause the Mormon people were honest and
sincere that the Liberal party opposed the meas
ure, the time not having come in its opinion
for it
Much OF Powers argument was in refutation
OF several statements on the other side OF the
question by II. W. Smith, before the committee
last week. He read 20 the committee letter
from NJ. A. Breeden, the attorney of Ogden.
stating that Smith told him, before leaving for
Washington City, that statehood in Utah would
be y great calamity; that II the Teller bill
should become a law no Gentle could live in
the territory; that he had no faith in the Nor
mon people, as they were simply deceiying the
people to gain power, and as soon
as the conditions were changed the
brethren would have another revolu-
ton, re-establishing polygamy, and drive
the Americans out of the territory. The state
nents in the letter were denounced by Smith as
lie. He denied having been in Ogden before
coming TO Washington City, or having any con-
versstion with Breeden. In refutation of the
statements made by Smith, calling in question
the honor ands probity of United States Judge
Minor, of Utah, Power read numerous kilograms
from influential people. pronouncihg as false all
the charges and imputatlons against the moral
and judicial integrity OF the judge.

We have endeavored to the best of our ab;Ii.v

gives the committee power to cut down q salary

way. We Dave also saved some little money in
