this case?-ISrELLIGENcER-
Here was golden opportunity iortho
Register to make practical application
OF its favorite doctrine: All it had to
do was to show who pays tho 75-cent
tax on the 65-cent file. This should De
''as easy as lying" ii "the tariff is,
tax" The Registers reply is,
That tho ISTELLIGEScER has Stat
little paunch;" which wo take to be an
other vindication Of tho policy Of pro.
toction. ...,
That Hif there were trust in good
working order" the ISTELLlGEScEn
"would dis cover who would pays tho
taxi" as though there wero no trusts in
free trade England, and as though We
had no sugar trust in this country al
though sugar is Oh tho free list, and no
petroleum trust, although We export
petroleum in enormous quantities. But
"it' there were file trust-then tho
discovery would DO easy.
That since We "can make as good and
cheap files in this country as in Eng
land" the duty on files is "is not need
ed and is absurd" Take the duty of
files and the English manufacturer, who
must now pay tho soventy-fve cents q
dozen ii no wants to como in, will soon
show you something to open your eyes.
ue will deluge this market with files
regardless OF cost.
While We arc on this point let us see
how the Registers objection would apply
to tin plate, We are not to keep the
duty on files because We make them "as
good and cheap as England does, whcre.
fore tho duty lis not needed and is alb
surd."
Tho Register insists that we cannot
make tin plato "as good and cheap" Us
England does, for which reason it should
stop making faces at tho tin plato tariff
and turn in with the patriotism OF this
country to encourage tho establishing
OF a tin plate industry sufficient to sup
ply our wants. This point will keep,

Fact and Argument,

Two years ago the, Register solemnly
found fault with the Mckinley act for
putting the poor woman's needle on the
dutiable list, taxing her needle, as that
free trade authority called it. The IN
TELLIGENcER showed that the Mckinley
act put the poor woman's needle on the
free list. - -
Only the other day the Register said
that leather is on the free list. The IN
TELILGENCEE came to tho rescue and
showed that the Register didn't know
what it was talking about. Two OF the
persons named by the Register as having
been interviewed by its reporters, the
only ones who wero named, had to
take that able free trade instructor to
task for putting the free leather folly in
their. mouths.
The INTELLIGEScER does not hesitate
to take the charitable visw that the
Register knows more about betting than
it does about the tariff. As it is so en-
tirely unreliable as 10 facts, it is not
strange that it makes no Roadway with
what it is pleased 10 regard as its argu-
ment. ~

It Is Reported That he Would Say Nothing

CHICAGO, May ga special from New
York says that about II o'clock this fore
noon Chairman j. S. Clarkson of the Re-
publican National committee, ex-senator
Fassett of New York, and Chauncey l.
Eilley Of St Louis, called on Blaine at the
Fifth Avenue hotel. At2 this afternoon
the conference was still in progress, and
the throng of politicians in the lobby of
the hotel, who were nearly all Blaine's
friends, were startled by the story that
crept out to the effect that Clarkson, Fas-
sett and Filley were urging by all the
argument at their command that
Blaine give his friends some assurance
Of his willingness to run. Blaine declined
90 do so, however, so it was said, until he
had consulted with President Harrison,
which he will 90 on the latter's return

Is reported that Clarkson and Fassett are

but that he will not declare himself either

dent Harrison. II the president does not
agree to the plan, tits said to be reasonably
certain that Blaine will use his most pow

term for the president. The significance
of these reports, which appear to be rea-

FAVORS GRESHAM.
Colonel IngersOn Says That He Thinks He
Is the Strongest Man.

Colonel IngersOll Says That He Thinks He
Is the Strongest Man.
CHICAGO, May 2S.-Colonel Robert G..
Ingersoll, who is in this city on business,
stated in an interview tonight, that he was
in favor Of nominating Gresham Cor presi-
dent He supposes that Blaine can be
nominated if che wants TO, but he doesn't
think he wants the nomination himself.
Ingerson thinks, however that he would
take it if necessary to prevent the nomina-
ton of Harrison. When asked why this
desire to prevent Harrisons nomination.
Ingersoll said he takes it for granted that
Harrison and Blaine are not very good
friends. Blaine is master of the situation
he can have Harrison nominated if he
wants to and can defeat him if he wants TO.
and Ingersoll thinks he wants to.
Colonel 1ngersol said he considered
Blaine stronger as candidate for nomina-
ton than the nominee of the party. Blaine
has good many enemies, said he. Inger-
soil thinks the strongest man, the one who
would secure the largest following, is
Judge Gresham. He thinks Gresham
could get more votes than any other man
the Republican party could put up; that he
would TO q certain extent draw the vote of
the lsboring classes Ingersoll added /:
president Harrison's administration has
been good one and he was not Directing
TO him on any personal grounds but be-
cause he doesn't believe IN second term
Tor anybody and doesn't think Harrison
can ne elected.
''There is a good deal of opposition to him
in Colorado, Montana, Washington and
Nevada, and we can't afford to lose any
state next November" said he.
