WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Sept. lS, 1898.

A majority of the democrats in con-
gress are very near to being in open
revolt against Mr.. Cleveland, and un-
less that gentleman diapl.ys more
conciliatory disposition there may be
permanent split in the democratic
party in the near future. The straw
that has almost broken the back of
the democratic animal is Mr.. Cleve-
lands opposition to the taking up of
the bill for repeal of the federal
election laws by the house, until the
senate disposes of the silver repeal
bill. 1t is said that Mr.. Cleveland
spoke in most dictatorial manner to
Speaker Crisp because of his having
consented that this bill should be re-
ported to the house without having
first obtained permission, and that Mr..
Crisp got nettled and told him that
he was under the impression that the
president was at the head of the ex-
ecutive, not the legislative branch Of
the government. Well, he wants to
be at the head of them all, and he is
openly accused by democrats with hav-
ing influenced democratic members Of
he house to stay away in order to
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1893-09-29

break quorum, Whether he did or
not it is certain that the democrats
tried in vain to get quorum for three
days last week. Today is a holiday,
on account of tue centennial ccle-
bration of the laying of corner stone
of the capitol building, aud it re-
mains to ne seen whether there will he
quorum of democrats in the house
tomorrow. The republicans very
naturally decline to assist in making
quorum Of the house for any such
purpose.
The condition in the senate is prac-
ticaliy unchanged. Senator voorhees,,
althoug he knows that a majority of
the senators-49 senators are claimed,
and the claim is undisputed-will vote
i for his repeal bill if it can be brought
TO Il vote, IS afraid to attempt to force
the fight, although he continues to
threaten to do SO. There is only one
way to force the bill to a vote, and
that is to keep the senate continually
in session with quorum-43 senators
always on the floor. until the oppo
sition becomes sufficiently worn out 20
consent to vote; bat Senator Vor-
hees does not feel certain that he can
do that for the very good reason that
number of senators who are willing
to vote for repeal have said that they
would not consider it their duty to re-
main continuously on the floor in or
der to force vote. Then, there is
another side to this question of en-
) durance. Enough of the rel callers
, may become worn out to enable the
silver men to vote down the bill or te
! amend it to suit themselves. 1t is nc
child's play either way you look at it
and, whatever may be the opinion o
, outsiders, every senator realizes th'
seriousness Of the situation.
The principal reason why Mr.
Cleveland does not wish the house t.
: start the acrimonious debate that i
certain to follow the taking up of th'
bill for the repeal of the federal cleo
;. ton law is that he realizes the neces-
| sity Of having the active assistance O
3 republican senators if the Vorhees bill
is to be passed, and fears that assist
' ance may be lost through the abuse O
republicans in the house. And ther
r are good and sufficient reasons for hi
+ fear. Not that anything any demo-
= crat could say would change the .vot
of any republican senator who upol
principle favors the repeal bill, bu
J: that it might result in causing some Q
f them to absent themselves at critica

We DO not wish to alarm the

the situation of the repeal bill in

duty to arouse them. 1t will not

FIVE spinning companies in
Oldham, England, recently pub
lisbed their balance sheets. Two
of them made an aggregate profit
of $4,235 during three months.
To obtain this result 117,OOO
spindles and preparatory machin-
cry, with a capital of $64O, 900,
were employed. The other three
mills lost $4,s50 among them, en-
ploying 10000 spindles and a
capital of $s15,0OO. Thus for the
five mills, with total capital of
81, 100000, there was loss of
$615 as the result of three months
business. This is the working of
free trade.

We HAVE drawn attention to the
fact that there was loss of busi-

the returns of bank clearings made

enormous loss of $1,179,000,0OO

The free trade party has begun
its active campaign in Ohio by
sending out workers from New

afraid to come out openly on their
free-trade platform, and are, so we
are informed, making use of a
third party through which to DIS
tribute their free-trade dogma.
The good cause of temperance
should not be defiled with a free
trade tar brush. Let the fight be
a fair and square one, honest and
above board. This will be more
satisfactory to both candidates.

ONE of the Alabama iron manu-
facturers was before the commit
tee on ways and means in congress
few days ago and plead with the
committee not to reduce the tariff
on iron manufacturers. He had
voted the free trade ticket last fall
but didn't mean free trade, only
democracy! 1t must be little
humiliating to democratic manu-
facturers and working men now to
ask congress not to give them what
they voted for. Alabama and
Tennessee begin to feel the result
of the election as their factory
doors are closed and their furnace
fires put out. Of the fifty iron
mills and blast furnaces IN these
two states thirty nine are closed
down and more are expected to
follow their example. Of the
10000 men employed by these
works over 10000 are out of
employment. A large number of
these are colored people, very poor
in this worlds goods, and who will
suffer greatly this winter if these
establishments do not resume
work. To hear some democrats
talk, one would infer that all man
ufacturers were republicans, and
everyone wanted the tariff contin-
ued as a monopoly. The above
shows that the tariff protects the
laborer as well as the manu-
facturer.
