himself to be In theory and according
to every sound principle of justice en-
titled to the preference and vindicated
by long trial.
The boldest innovation Of the bill,
says Mr.. Wilson, is it's large free list OF
raw materials. Taxes upon production
are double wrongs. They gather and
cumulate on tho consumer OF the I'm
ished product. They hurt labor by mar
rowing the market for what it produces.
Coal and iron are the foundations of
modern industry. Material progress is
measured by the amount of their con-
sumption. No other country can supply
them as abundantly or cheaply as we
can.
No possible competition can Interfere
with our own producers, few miles in
the interior OF the country. Remote
ness from the sources of supply is in
itself enough disadvantage to any sec
ton Of the country without further
burdens in tariff taxes. Untaxed coal,
lumber, wool and other fibres mast i'm
mensely stimulate production in certain
parts of our country.
The thin edge of American manufac-
turers has entered every country. With
release from taxes upon their materials,
there is no limit to the growth of our
foreign trade, This will moro than
compensate the home producers of raw
material who, tariff or no tariff, control
all the interior of the country,
for any apprehended loss of mar
kets anywhere along the sea Dor.
der. Its incalculable advantage to labor
is apparent. In every great line of
manufacture we can produce in six
months to nine months enough for our
home market We can get rid of our
surplus only by foreign trade. AS long
as we have taxes on the materials of
industry we cannot build up that trade.
Hence the other alternative of trusts to
keep down production to tho heme
market.
The workingman can see whether his
interest Is with a system that represscs
production and robs him of employment
or with system that gives natural and
healthy play to production and protects
him from trusts and like com binations
of capital.

TIE NEW TARIFF BILL.

The tariff bill is now before the pub
lic 1t Is the result OF months of pa.
tient, anxious toll upon the part of the
committee and it most cffectually
answers the demand for 9 revision called
for by the Democratic platform adopted
by the Chicago convention which nom.
mated Grover Cleveland as the standard
bearer OF the party.
1t is the result of an effort upon the
part of men whose actions will be un-
questioned to purge the existing laws of
all faint of ali local or personal favor
itism and the bill as prepared certi6es
that this has been done.
The main features OF this measure, as
Mr.. Wilson states, are two. First, the
adoption, whenever it seemed practi-
cable, OF ad valorem, instead of specific
duties; secondly, the freeing from taxes
of those great materials OF industry
that lie at the basis Of production.
Specific rates of duty are Objectionable
for these reasons: they frequently con-
ceal a rate of taxation too enormous to
be submitted to if expressed in .ad va
loren terms as the duty OF eight cents
on hundred pounds on salt in bulk,
which amounts to over eighty per cent.
on common necessity of life. They
always bear heavily on the common
article used by the masses and lightly
on the expensive article consu med by
the rich.
Contrary to common belief specific
duties lead ito greater frauds in admin
istration, for counting and weighing
at the custo house, are done by the
cheapest and most easily corrupted
labor, while ad valorem rates are
assessed by the best paid and most re
sponsible appraisers. The ad valorem
system has worked we'll in practic is
essentially the fair system because 1t
is tax upon the actual value Of an
article and was declared by Mr.. Clay

boy who has figured so often in police
court affairs, WAS. again arrested last
night for wandering around the streets
John William told several parties that
Acting Chief Gold whipped him when
he was arrested several weeks ago. Ho
was asked at the station house last night
If that was so and he said that Mr.. Gold
had never hit him or maltreated him in
any way. John William. when he was
liberated several weeks ago, was told if
he was ever caught up there again no
would be whipped and this was done
only to scare him, thinking that he
would go homo. The boy, upon the oc-
casion of his several arrests, has boon
treated very kindly by tho authorities.

ward appearances indicate that the situa-
ton in the senate is unchanged and the de-
bate on the repeal bill may continue in
definitely. there are facts apparent TO the
initiated which go TO show that the end is
in sight. There is strong probability
that the senate will be either ready TO ad-
journ or take up other legislation. by the
lst of October. Few of even the staunch-
est silver advocates any longer claim a
majority in the senate. but they are hope
full OF procuring the adoption of an
amendment whicn will give recogni.
tion in some form to silver and
thus avoid the necessity OF TAX
ing a vote upon the repeal bill as
IL stands. Ii may be stated definitely that
no organized determination TO filihuster
has been reached. and the probabilities are
that there will be no extended effort after
legitimate debate has been exhausted to
prolong the session or postpone the time
for action upon the bill. The opponents
of the bill are called upon to face the fact
that they are at the beginning of congress,
with no possibility of forcing adjournment
If the majority should hold out for con-
tinusnce until March 4, 1895. It will rest
largely with the Southern opponents of
the bill in the senate to decide whether the
vote shall be postponed or taken.

GREAT FIRE AT SPOKANE.
The Exposifi building, which Cost
100000 Destroyed.

SPOKANE. Sept IL. - ISpeciai.l The
grandest pyrotechnic display ever seen IN
Spokane was occasioned by the burning
of the Exposition building last night. Not
since the great fire of 1889 has such a con-
fiagration been witnessed here. In ten
minutes after the FIRE was discovered the
flames burst through the immense dome,
lighting up the entire city and the coun-
try for m lies around. The fire was seen
distance of sixty miles. The fire depart
ment was unable to do anything more
than to protect the surrounding buildings.
The exposition building was q wooden
structure three stories high and 100 by 800
feet in dimensions. II was built in 1850,
and cost about $l05, 900. Only one exposi-
tion was held in the building, but numer-
Gus public gatherings have been held
there. The building was taken of the
hands of the exposition company by cred
itors foreclosing liens aggregating s45, 600
and buying the building in through A.
NJ. Cannon as trustee. The larger lien
creditors had their interests insured, the
total amount of insurance aggregating
about So. 900. Kirkendali 4 Co. and Porter
Bros, railroad contractors. had grading
outfits worth 5000 stored In the building.
but were fully insured. The ire was un-
doubtedly incendiary.

WAsHrSsros CRY, Sept. ii.-For the
present at least the trouble growing out Of
the seizure of 5000 sheep by Mexican Gus
toms officials on what is claimed to be
Texan soil has been brought to an end.
After Secretary Gresham and the presi-
dent had several conferences over the
matter an agreement was reached by
which ID was decided to authorize Maj.
Keyes TO surrender the Mexican officials.
This will leave the sheep in possession of
the owners. The question of definite To-
cation of the boundary will, it Is ex-
pected, be referred to a mixed commission
which has had similar problems to I'M
