Necessary. to Prevent Repeal OF

pv telegraph 10 the Di.pstch.I

WASHINGTON. December Sl.-Representa-
tive Pierce. OF Tennessee, who, With Re
preventative Bland. led the fight Tor iree-
silver legislation at the last session, an.
nounced to-day the purpose OF himself
and some OF his associates Ito give the
anti-free-silver men dose OF their own
medicine. and flibuster, If necessary. to
prevent o repeal of the Sherman act:
Mr.. Pierce was confident that there would
be nothing further accomplished on the
silver question during the second session,
but gave IL as his opinion tnat tne "a"
vxo,ld be repealed early in the next SEES
sion of Congress in response 70 the oe-
mands of President Cleveland. Mr.: Pierce
sald I'VE will now wait on the other siue
and block its moves"
MAJORITY FOR REPEAL.
"Tbe turn of the anti-silver men has
now come. aud when they attempt any
thing we'll give them what they gave us
last session. / believe bill 10 repeal tne
Sherman law will be reported by the BANK
ING and Currency Committee. Yes. nave
looked INTO the matter. and believe there
is a majority of that committee IN favor Oh
repeal of the law. .
But we do not propose TO let them ac-
cOnDilsn tnelr purpose. We VIII a. w
repeal the Sherman act and return TO the
Bland act If the minimum monthly coin
AGE be fixed at $4,000, 900 instead OF -2'OOO'-
600 as IL was in that act"
Would the silver men he Wiling 70
compromise on S3,0O0,000 month";"
COMPROMISE NOT PROBABLE.
"No, sir, I don't think they would.
This Sherman act is working our way. We
have got the other side on the hip. 1t is
increasing the circulation OF the country
four and half millions a month. and that
is what the banks do not want done. IL IS
the increase of the money of the country
that is at the bottom of the complaint OF
the banks. In my opinion nothing Will DO
done at this session on the silver ques-
ton. but believe next session Will zee the
Sherman law repealed. You see, there are
IDS Republicans in the next House. Near
" ali of them will vote for Its repeal. The
whole Republican press, You notice. -
calling for it's repeal can put my finger
on seventy or eighty Democrats in tho
next House who will vote the same way.
believe President Cleveland will insist on
its repeal even before any tariff Legislation
Is accomplished. and there will DO weak.
kneed Democrats who will fail into llne."

RaiIway-system Federation.


CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, December 31.-A
system Federation" was agreed upon
by the representatives of the organized
railroad employees in conference in this
city. The term Is used in oontradistinc-
ton TO national federation, and means
that the members of the various orders on
any one system offered will DO left to de-
eide for themselves whether or not they
will unite. and such action will DO bind
ing on them alone. Conservative mem bers
of the conference feel they have gained a
point against iil-adyised strikes or hasty
action of any sort. Under the new
plan when members Of any organi-
cation have a grievance against their
road their grievance committee must
first do all in their power TO settle IT,.
When they fail the executive head of the
order must be called in and do his best TO
effect q settlement. Not until both of
these have failed can the executive heads
OF all the organizations in the federation
be called upon. and they must be unani-
nous before a strike can be ordered. But
when astrike is ordered ell must 90 out.
1t will be seen that the organization is
simple and requires no new officers. The
orders interested are those Of the con-
ductors, switehmeD, hremen. trainmen.
and telegraphers. AS the engineers voted
at the last convention for federation
with the same fundamental principles, 1t
is thought they may eventually come In.

DISCRIMINATING.
[Rv telegraph % the Dlspatch.l


OTTAWA. ONT., December 3l.-To-day's
Official Gazette contains three important
proclamatlons suspending certain sections
of acts passed in 1891 and 1892, which I'M
posed different rates of duties on sugars
and molasses, when imported indirectly
from the country of production, from tho
rates charged where the importation ID
direct.
The result will be that during the. con-
tinuance of these proclamatlons molasses
and sugar coming into the country by IN
direct importation will be placed on an
equal footing with direct importations.
The duty on sugar coming in by indirect
importation was per cent. al rdlOrsnl, and
on molssses % cents a gallon, and these
duties are abolished by the proclamations
The result will be to take OF the DIS
eliminating duties against indirect lmpor-
tatiOns.
These clauses Of the acts mentioned have
been quoted by the United States as
evincing a disposition on the part Of Can
ada to discriminate against the United
States, while the United States makes no
such discrimination against other coun-
tries and the Dominion government has.
