What VIII They DO About tho Tariff and
the Sherman Laws
WASHINGTON. Sept. ia curious state OF
things is developing in Congress- A Republi
can Senator says he would like to know how
long brother republicans In the Senate will
continue to pull Mr.. Cleveland's chestnuts out
OF the ashes In the Senate. while he kicks and
cuffs Republicans In tho House. In the Sen.
ate. he says. the Administration has it's policy.
which depends for success on the favor OF Re-.
publcans: but for them Mr.. Cleveland would
not stand the ghost OF . chance in that BODY
In the House. the Administration has its policy
which Cleveland pushes defiant of Republi.
cans. Now. l want to know" continues the
Senator. "how long Republican Senators are
going to serve Cleveland and pull his hot
chestnuts out OF tho ashes in one branch OF
Congress. while he defes and overrldes them in
the other2 1t isan Administration policy. per-
sonally dictated. that Cleveland pursues In
both branches OF Congress: and I'm for letting
him do the best he can with it without Repub-
lican help"
Tho Republican Senator had a good deal
to Cleveland nor tho Republicans. He con-
cluded by saying: I'VE have as much right
to ask Cleveland to help us for protection as
no has to ask us to help him for the repeal of
the silver purchasing clause OF the Sherman
law: and would like to know how Republi-
cans are going to Justify themselves In taking
the opposite course. ! say the country is
quito as much interested in having the tariff
kept as 1t Is as In having the Sherman law re-
pealed. Repeal tho purchasing law and de-
stroy tho tariff. and what would be the conse-
quence2 say the tariff 10 Of more Importance
than repeal by ten times"

Major Mckinley Is Wrong.

In his elaborate speech at Akron on Tues
day Governor MCKINLEY undertook to de
scribe the future OF the TIM plate Industry
under the operation OF tho coming tariff 10
revenue only:
ct assume that tin plate sto be made tree because
the last House OF Representatives which was Demo
cfetic. made It free by party vote. These splendid
industries which have been built in our country.
and which have supplied employment for 80 mani
vorkingmen are closed and this the greatest con-
Stunning nation OF tin plate In tho world will hereafter
buy this product from abroad unless labor
down to the degraded lsvs Of competing labor"
1t Is very remarkable how difficult the
most experienced and able Republican
statesmen find 1t to understand The present
attitude OF the Democracy toward the ques-
ton OF tariff taxation; though We are bound
In Justice to add that certain Democratic
statesmen appear to experience the same
difioulty. for instance, some members OF
the Committee OF Ways and Means. They
60 on conducting q scheme OF hearing man
ufacturers Just as II they were going to
mako their tariff on the MCKINLEY plan.
The declaration Of the Chicago platform
that the Federal Government has no con-
stitutional power to Impose and collect
tariff duties except for the purpose OF reve-
nue. only" constitutes an entirely new de-
parture In American politics and American
legislation. Old doctrines. old methods. old
ideas, old tariff systems and arrangements.
are oil outlawed and pitched overheard by
this new departure. English precedents
and practices. though labelled as free trade.
are all rendered obsolete and useless; and
the votes Of former Democratic majorities
In Congress or elsewhere are no longer Of
any avail as points for hitching arguments
to. We are entering upon new era; and
compared with our whole past, it Is revo-
lutionnry era.
Thus when Governor MCKINLEY assumes
that In the new Democratic tariff Tin
plate Is to DO made free" because In the
last House OF Representatives the Demo-
Gratis voted to make 1t free. he Is
talking without reflection. The new.
the entirely new. principle that there
Is no constitutional power to impose and
collect tariff duties except for the purpose
OF revenue only. makes 1t utterly illogical
and absurd to admit tin plate or any other
imported article free Of duty. The revenue
tax must be imposed and collected upon
every article imported. or else the tariff
will not bear equally upon all citi-
zens and all interests. Why should tho
consumers Of tin plate be specially favored
by the Government? Why should they
not contribute their just part to the ma
tional revenue? Why should other citizens
be compelled to pay more than their fair
share. in order that tho consumers of tin
plate may get of without paying anything2
This principle is as plain as that two and
two make four; and II Governor MCKINLEY
will study the subject. he will understand
that it is not proper to employ the old for.
mulas Of protection in dealing with doc
trine SO novel. go profound. 80 many-sided.
and 80 far-reaching as the present Demo-
cratic doctrine Of o tariff for revenue only.

The White Gaps OF Mississippi who

The White Caps OF Mississippi who
threaten to fire every cotton mill In the State
that gins the STAPLE before It's price rises to ten
cents a pound. have begun operations by burn
ing two big mills and posting notices upon
othors. But they cannot thus raise the price,
not tx they burn every gin house and all the
cotton in Mississippi. or in all the cotton grow
ing States. They cannot burn the cotton of
the Indies or Egypt. or Brazil, or Mexico. The
price OF cotton in this country is regulated by
its price in the other countries in which 1t Is
raised. II good cotton can be bought in India
at six cents pound. cotton Of the same kind
will not sell for any more than that In Missis-
sippi. The cotton planters OF q dozen coun-
tries are now competing with each other in the
worlds markets. and the competition between
them In these years is far closer than 1t was in
former times. Lven II we had a monopoly OF
the cotton production OF the world. We could
not fix its price, and we would have to sell It at
little more than the cost Of production: for the
demand for it would diminish. and other things
would largely take Its place. II its price were
too high. Because OF its cheapness 1t is uni
versally used: and because OF the universally
OF its use its price must be kept down to the
lowest figure at which 1t can be supplied. The
experiences OF American cotton planters for
years past have proved that they can sell their
crop to advantage at far less than ton cents a
pound: and If so. tho White Caps cannot, not
even by fire. raise 1t to that price. BY burning
gins. however. they can promote the interests
Of other countries.
We are pretty sure that the White Caps will
not burn many cotton gins. The planters OF
Mississippi can be depended upon to protect
their property.

outlines programme for perhaps the
most interesting of the series of the ma
tiOnal gatherings that are to form such

touch some Of the most vital questions
in current politics. The congress will
be held at the Airing institute the week
commencing Aug. z. The programme
provides for consideration of the queS-
ton Of compulsory voting, the extent
and manner in which the right to vote
should be extended to women, the ref
erendum, the limitation and regulation
of the suffrage IN communities having
mixed races, such as negro, Indian and
Chinese, the prOprety of an educational
test, state laws permitting aliens to vote,
the time Of residence required of aliens
before exercising the suffrage, the
American system compared with the
parliamentary system, the selection of
senators by direct vote of the people,
remedies for violent and fraudulent
suppression of the popular will. I'M
provements in the Australian system,
the abolition Of the electoral college
and possible better methods for nomi-
Mating conventions. The committee of
arrangements for the congress is as fol-
lows: Thomas w. Palmer, chairman;
William D. Foulke, vice chairman; DR..
n. Won Hoist, William Henry Smith,
Prof. E. w. Hotfcut, Oliver I. Morton.

SUCCESSFUL TESTS.
The Vesuvius Again Demonstrates
Her Usefulness.


PORT ROYAL, S. G., Feb. 1O.-A clear
day enabled the Vesuvins to resume
the tests of her pneumatic guns this
morning. Promptly at 1l:l0 the Vesu-
vius hosted signals announcing that
she was ready TO fire the first SHOT and
would aim it from the 2,000-yard buoy.
The board had gone aboard the Vesu-
wins early i'll the morning and watched
the days experiments from her decks.
With her signals flying the Vesuvius
steamed slowly up tG the 2,000-yard buoy
heading slightly to the north Of the target
line. A mOmentary pause followed while
she swung slowly into position. Then
the signal dropped, and simultaneously
there followed the white cloud of COM
pressed air. indicating the firing OF a
Shot. 1t fell fifty yards short of the tar
get. but exactly in line with the buoy
which marked the 2.00O-yard range.
The target itself had too mnch stray
line, and had drifted forty or fifty yards
away from its station. The Ve5uYiuS
was signalled that the shot had fallen.
short, and in twelve minutes she was
ready to fire again. indicating by her
flags that the same range would be
kept. The Vesuvius this time craWled
close up to her buoy before firing. The
shot was as pretty as its predeceS-
SOr, and more nearly attained it target.
The observers on the Wahneta sig
nailed back to the Vesuvius that the
shell had fallen ten feet short. FL!
a third Shot was fired few minutes
latNr, falling short of the target, but
practically on the buoy line. An inter.
val of an hour followed and then the re-
naming two projectiles were fired. The
fourth shot fell on the buoy line, but the
fifth and last shot of the day fell so close
to the target that the spray thrown up
by the projectile obScured the target.
An instant afterwards an explosion was
heard and the water behind the target
was disturbed. SO far as could be seen
the fifth shell was the only one that eX-
pIoded, though the officers of the Vesu-
vius aud members of the board said that
they had distinctly heard the explosion
of the fourth shot. 1t was learned dur
ing the afternoon that after firing the
first three projectiles the gun cotton
primers had been replaced by gunpOw-
der primer, the supposition being that
gun cotton had failed TO detonate the
powder Many OF the officers maintain
that this view is probably correct. The
second and fifth shots fell 50 accurately
that they would have fallen on an ordl-
nary sloop stationed for u target

principal o. these questions is the silver
problem, or rather the recent heavy alb
SOrptlOn OF gold. This question he Ie
CARDS as one that will require his i'm
mediate consideration, and to fOrtify
himself with all the information possible
he has had personal conferences with
several of the most prominent officials in
the treasurer's office. With these he has
discussed the method the treasury of
tlclalS have employed to protect the
gold reserve. They admitted frankly
that all theories as to the cause of the
outflow of gold have been dashed to the
wall by recent events. The amount Of
imports and exports. which was formerly
thought to exert controlling influence,
seems to operate no longer to any ap-
preclable extent. The rate of exchange
also ceases to operate, as gold continues
to go out. These statements were made
to MI. Carlisle, and the officials were
quite frank in admitting that they had
stopped trying to ind out the reasons
for the outflow of gold, and were instead
bending al their energies to prevent
the gold balance from being entirely
exhausted, and to keep intact the gold
reserve OF $l00,000,00J. To this end Sec
letary Foster has, it is stated, made
satisfactory arrangements with New
York bankers for the exchange of legal
tender notes for enough gold coin suffi-
cient to meet all demands for some time
to come. Secretary Foster expressed
the opinion that the gold output within
the next few months will not be so
great as it has been during the past few
months. The idea is also advanced that
as soon as the tide of travel to the
worlds fair sets this way there will be
a great influx of foreign gold. Some
treasury officials advance the opinion
that, as the house has refused to repeal
the Sherman law, gold will cease to be
exported, Oh the theory that the gold
movement to Europe was intended
mainly to influence legislation.
