MR.. sSIyELY's ADMISSION.

Mr.. Snively, in the statement which he
terms a defense. admits that ne still has in
his possession q large amount of money
belonging to the Fallon children. VIII
Mr.. Sniyely denv that he was ordered
more than six years ago by the court OF
Taylor county, W. Va, TO surrender that
money within ten days? VIII he deny
that be is holding that money in defiance
Of the order of that court?
The assurance with which Mr. Snively
admits the possession of this money TO
which be has abs oluteIy no right, is GER
tainly astounding. 1t is not likely that

dreamed that Mr.. Snively would under
take to hold it as long az he saw fit to do
so. If they had they would probably have
kept ii themselves, for their order would
certainly derive as much benefit from its
use as could Mr.. Snively-

self by bringing against it a suit for libel.
He could not do otherwise and remain on
the ticket. Every statement that the Posi-
INTELLIGEScER has made, however. is
based upon court records and aftidavits
from citizens of Taylor county. And just
as soon as Mr.. Snively brings suit the
PosT- IxTELLIGESCER will furnish some
more questions for him to undertake to
answer
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-10-24

The Democrats seek to break the force
of the disclosures concerning Mr.. Snivelv,
their candidate for governor, by making
an attack upon Mr.. John II. McGraw, the
Republican candidate. Mr.. McGraw re-
plies TO this in this mornings issue Of the
PosT-ISrELLIGENcER by a statement which
will carry conviction to the minds of all
reasonable men.
Mr.. McGraw failed in business in 1875
when firms, until then regarded as alto
gether safe, were failing in all parts of the
country. He has never made a secret of
this fact, and has never sought to deny it.
When the firm of which he was member
became bankrupt it turned over to its
creditors everything which it possessed,
and Mr.. McGraw retained only the cloth
ing which he wore. Everything else went
towards paying his debts. After this
he remained in Maine for some
months helping to settle up the affairs
of the firm, in the meantime earning
his living by working as farm hand for
81 day. He then borrowed $50. which
he afterwards repaid with interest, and
came to the Pacific coast. For time he
worked in San Francisco as a street car
driver, which may be regarded as an indi-
cation that he did not leave Maine with
any large amount of money. After few
months of this work he came to Seattle,
and he has since resided here.
This is the straightforward story of
manly and honorable life If any man
has any legal claim against Mr.. McGraw
it would be easy for him to recover, for he
has property in his own name ample to
cover any claim that is liable to be brought
against hun. This fact should be borne in
mind by those who are inclined to give
credence to those who assert that they
have just and unsatisfed claims against

TOM FITCH AND THE TARIFF.

Tom Fitch. of Nevada, in his talk to the
workingmen of New York city, had much
to say of the tariff, which he cleverly de-
fined as follows:
The tariff is license tax which the United
States government imposes upon foreign
dealers for the privilege OF vending their goods
in this country. lApplause.l 1t differs from
an ordinary peddlers license in that it is inn
posed upon the merchandise itself instead OF
upon the person who sells it. Free traders
claim that the peddler always adds the cost of
the tariff license to the price of mis- goods and SO
compels the American consumer to pay
it Some protectionists claim that the
peddler deducts the tariff license from the
price he pays Tor his goods, and so compels the
European producer to pay it The truth will,
think, be found somewhere between these two
extremes. In some instances the duty is paid
by the consumer. in others by the producer, in
still Others it is divided, and in others yet it is
deducted from the profits OF the middlemen.
There are cases-may their number increase
and multiply-in which the effect of the tariff
is to cause the foreign peddler to lay down his
pack and leave the American market to the
American mechanic. [Applausel

employing hundreds of men informs the
Press of that city that they have paid in
nine months of this year 81 per cent. more
in wages than they paid in 1890. And
they are making preparations to en-
ploy 700 more men, providing the
law is not changed. AT the same
time the goods they manufacture are
retailing at prices 20 per cent be-
low those which prevailed in 1880. This
great change has been brought about by an
increase in the tariff, which enabled the
firm to run its mandatory at its full
capacity six days a week, instead of run
ming two days a week with only one-fotirth
as many employees. The expenses of main
tenance and of the plant were the same
when they ran two days week as they
are now when running six days, hence
they can sell at lower prices and make
more money because of the great increase
in the volume Of their business.

THE LAST MUGwUNP.

Mr.. Wayne Macveagh, who addressed
the Tammany Democracy of New York
city on Wednesday evening, will find 1t
difficult to pose as Republican bolter.
Here is MacVeagh's political record:
Has not voted the Republican ticket for
ten years.
Mugwump member of Garfeld's cabinet
in 1881.
Supported John Stewart, Independent,
for governor of Pennsylvania in ISL
Refused to support Blaine in 1884.
Did not vote at all, so far as known, in
1885.
Supported Cleveland in 1888.
Supported Pattison, Democrat, in 1890.
Was still Democrat October 6, 1892.
Mr.. McVeagh's son is Cleveland's law
partner. Mr.. MacVeagh, in his recent
letter. said the chief reason why he could
not follow President Harrison and the
Republican party is the Mckinley law and
''the iniquity of protection" The Phila-
delpnia Press asks MacVeagh the follow
ing searching questions:
First-Is not the number of articles and is not
the proportion of foreign imports admitted free
of duty under the Mex inley act far greater than
they were under the tariff which existed when
NJ. MacVeagh was member of President Gar-
fields cabinet. aud presumably approving and
supporting rte Republican protective policy?
SeeHld-Mr. MaeFeagh ROW insists that free
raw material are esseuta, to our manuIactur-
ing industries. VIII he be good enough TO
answer whsSher there il any greater duty on
raw materials now than there was when he was
advocating Republic success and ser. ing as a
member OF the Republican administration
Third-Ms MscVeagh said in his recent let
ter: sit is not surprising that labor, believing
itself to DO oppressed. soou rose in revolt"-a
distinct .efererre to Homestead. VIII he kindly
answer " ,stker it is not "a that the import
duty on such articles made in the Csrne-
gle mills at Homestead is actually less than it
was when he adorned the hi sh Office of attorney
general and didn't discover the oppression?

THE TARIFF AND THE FARMER,

Gov. Flower. of New York, is a Demo-
crat who says what he thinks without
regard to the tariff plank of the Chicago
platform. In the course of HIS recent trip
along the Erie canal he made this obser-
walton:
The increased tariff has withdrawn the Cana
dian competition, and today they fthe farmerO
are getting better prices for farm products than
In good many years. II will be useless TO
bring any argument in our district that the
Mckinley law does not benefit the farmers. for
II does. and the facts besr it out There is no
Use of a Democrat trying TO get an office in that
district on that issue. for il is Il dead one.
This is in line with Gov. Flowers sreech
at the New York state fair, when he de-
clared for protection. Gov. Flower sees
that the Mckinley law by its agricultural
schedule has put an end 10 Canadian and
other competition and has raised the price
of farm products. Protection TO manu-
features has stimulated industry. raised
wages, given increased employment TO Ia
hor and thus increased the home demand
for what the farmer has TO sell. Reel
procity has enlarged the foreign market
Cor the products Of our farms. The farmer
Is able 70 purchase more for his money to-
day than ever before. Almost every article
ot consumption is cheaper today than it
was ten years ago. and can he bought for
less than when the Mckinley law went
into effect. This reduction is especially
noticeable IN agricultural implements.
The tariff, instead Of being higher. is
lower than ever before. a the following
official report of the treasury department,
giving the comparative table of al valorem
AVERAGE rates Of duty. shows.

a CARD FROM MIR. kTEFER.

SEATTLE, Oct g. 1892
To THE EDITOR: Your issue OF this morning
contains an article referring to the action of
Judge Lichtenberg in the case of Boyer vs.
Boyer which cannot allow to go unnoticed, as
1t does him gross in Justice, and trust you will
allow the use of your space for the purpose OF
correcting q wrong which must have been unin.

The statement is made that the supreme court
denounced his action in allowing 1000 us at
torneys fees, and the insinuation Is that he al.
lowed it out of favoritism to me as his former
partner.
The allowance of 81, 900 was made upon the
testimony of two OF the leading attorneys OF
this city. and their testimony was wholly I'M
contradicted, no testimony whatever being
offered by the opposition. Their testimony
placed il at 81 600, and one of them added to
this amount necessary expenses incurred BY
counsel, and could have been supported by that

lawyers of the city had IL been necessary Tho

way reflect upon or criticize the judgment OF
the court below, but simply say that notvith-
standing the ''proof" they deem 1t proper TO re-
duce the foe TO $500 The standard OF fees
prevailing in the supreme court i
we'll known to every lawyer in ths
state who has had aay practice. aud IL
Is considered remarkably low. The cpin-
ion OF the members Of the bar OF this city AZ
well as the well established rules OF law would
support the judgment of Judge Lichtsnberx
rather than that of the supreme coar; Ia ta.s
case. This is not the only case In which fees
have been reduced by the supreme court IN
the case of Howe Vs. Kenyon. tried before Judge
Osborn, they reduced a verdict OF jury from
500 to 500.
The insinuation that Judge Mchtenberg
duly favored me a. his former partner needs no
refutation at my hands. Every one Who has
had anything to do in his department knows
that he has administered the law ~ he under

THE FIGHT AGAINST KING COUNTY.

Mr.. Nelson Bennett, it seems, is still
marshalling the an:i-canal hosts. Not
content with the resolutions passed by the
Pierce county executive committee, in
which the Republicans are virtually COM
manded not to speak the name of their
candidate for governor above a whisper in
Pierce county. he has now issued the fol-
lowing circular 10 the members of the
county central committee:
NELSON BENNETT.
GENERAL OFFICE,
TACOMA, WASHINGTON.
TACOMA. Oct n. ~
To ........ -......., Esq.
DEAN SIR:
Al regular meeting OF the executive COM
mitiee OF the Pierce County Republican Central
Committee the following was unanimously
passed without a dissenting voice, either from
the chair or other members of the committee:
WHEREAS, The Pierce county Republican con-
vention, 10y resolution, repudiated that portion
OF the Republican platform referring 10 the
Lake Washington canal; aud. whereas, the
present nominee for governor on the Republican
ticket 10 the chief exponent and author OF said
Objectionable clause; therefore be il
"Resop,d, BY the Pierce county executive COM
mittee, that all speakers or advocates in behalf
OF the Republican county ticket be supplied
instructed not 20 assist In the election OF said
McGraw, but TO use ali honorable means for his
defeat"
In fact, as you can see, the resolution is
simply to carry out the intention of the county
convention when IL repudisted the "casal
plank" in the state platform. The condemna-
tion oi this plank was certainly intended as a
rebukc 70 the originators aud advocates of the
canal scheme. as that scheme is antagonistic To

whole state outside of Sesitle and King comfy
The enemy within our ranks have taken occa-
zion TO make capital out of the action of the ex-
ecutive committee aud are telling all sorts of
stories eSaggeratlug The intention OF the reso-
luton, stating that II is a condemnation of the
whole state ticket etc, which you can see
IL absolutely false. They have carried
this TO such extent thst the
chairman and other members of the committee
have deemed IL best TO call the committee to-
rether 80 consider this matter together with
other things. In consideration OF the Fact thar
