Milford chronicle., 1893-12-01

for the Cleveland tariff bill-itis misnomer
to call it by ANYBODY else's uame-in The
House, and will probably succeed as well as
with the committee.
But when it comes to the Senate those tao
tics will moi necessarily succeed. The aver
ace Senator is always more independent
than member of the House, His term is
six wears, and if he has lately been elected, |
will extend beyond that of the President SO
that he does not feel that he has any ueed Of
being taken care Of by the administration |
in cnse his action or vote is unsatisfactory to !
his constituents. There is not the slightest
expectation that the Senate will pass the tar
| if bill as it is now, even if Mr.. Cleveland
succeeds in his announced intention to rail-
road it through the House, although, looking
at the matter from purely political stand
point it would be the best thing that could
happen for the Republican party for It to
become a law just as it now is, but it would
be great hardship Oh the wage earners OF
the country; consequently Republicans will
try TO defeat it, or in any event. to have 1t
amended in many respects
Among the long list of articles placed on
the free list bv the new bill are the following
WOOL iron ore coal pig tin, hemp, fax, ,jate, sill
yer. lead ore, copper, salt, crude borax bind
, ing tyiue. cotton ties. and lumber not ad-
vauced in preparation beyond saving. The
) cut on articles left on the dutiable list is
deep and will probably average somewhere
about forty per cent.
No news is expected from Hawaii, unless
it be secured by a special steamer sent by
some euterprising newspaper, before Decem-
2 Der II. The Administration would very
= gladly crawl out of the unpleasant hole in
, which it finds itself but as it cannot its
+ members pretend an indifference they are
+ far from feeling. Secretary Gresham is try
/ ing to sneak out by telling his personal
J. friends that Mr.. Cleveland had determined
= to restore the queen before he was sworn in
5 and that Blounts instructions were prepared
J. in the White House aud given to him by
Il Mr.. Cleveland and that he (Gresham) haC
f nothing whatever to do with shaping tb'
q Hawaiian policy. But even while trying tc
Z, do the sneak act he has proven his compile
r itv in what will be regarded by posterity
/ one Of the most dastardly State crimes il
~ American history by ranseckiug the Stat
Department record aud giving out for publ
>. cation in administration newspapers isolated
: 81 letters which seem to bear out his theory,o
:, as he claims, Mr.. Clevelaud's theory, that th
Il Harrison Administration mad knowledge c
- the intention to overthrow the queen Ion
I before that event took place.
u lust why the Administration thinks th'
its position would be completely viudicate
Ol if this fact were proven is more than I ca
T. see. It is probable that nine intelligent CT
IL liens out of every ten would say that tn
le government did exactly what was right if
su had actually dethroned the queen, as NJ
C. Cleveland would like the country to believ'
~ Not satisfied with controlling the Congress
We men now in office Mr.. Cleveland has eutere
he into a conspiracy with Messrs. Harrit
ps Quincy aud Dickinson, of the Democrat
re National Committee to control the nomin
n ton of every Democrat who runs for IL
House of the Fifty-Fourth Congress, ,throug
I'd the machinery of the National committe
re. which is to open headquarters here sole
IS for that purpose. The Democratic Congress
ed men have Just "got onto" this conspira'
al- and those who are anti Cleveland and a
of making dire threats about what they pr
u, pose doing, not only to secure their renon
ar nation, but to get even with Mr.. Clevelan
