TARIFF TESTIMONY.

The Republican members of the
Ways and Means committee wrote
letters to the New York Press Civ
ing their views concerning the Nc
Kinley law. The following is re-
view of what each letter contained.
Mr.. Reed is inclined to think
that the spectacle Of mills shut down
or making half or one-third time
will impress the country in a serious
and sober way. He furthermore,
with characteristic vim, says: "We
are just now paying pretty heavy
wages to our new teacher, and the
result ought to be exceedingly bene-

A SOLUTION OF THE PENSION PROBLEM

An article likely to evoke wide
comment and discussion, as also
some adverse criticism, appears in
the September Home and Country
Magazine, issued at New York.
The writer of it, Joseph W. Kay, is
we'll known advocate of the cause
of the war veteran.
The primary object of the article
is, as its title, "a Solution of the
Pension Problem" indicates, con-
Germs ways and means to dispose OF
the entire pension system with
equity and justice to the pensioner
and incidentally thereto to solve
many other questions of great i'm
portance to the American people.
Among those discussed are "The
Continued Existence of the National
Bank System" and Tariff Reform
the latter to be made possible almost
Immediately. Regarding his plan,
the writer says:
1.-TWO things only are absolutely
necessary to make this feasible, al
else is matter of detail. They are
"First-The authority of Con
gress and the President for the issue
and sale of bonds to raise the money
required.
"Second-That a surrender value
be placed on every pension now il
force or hereafter to By granted, sc
that the certificate may be cancelled
by a single payment. < x y
81 am well aware that persons
lacking patriotism will disap'
prove anything which will require
the payment of large sums of money
to the pensioner, and on the same
principle that those who favor the
issue of wildcat currency by state
banks, such as preceded the present
system, will not favor what is pro-
posed here.

son the other hand, every war
veteran, every patriot, everyone in
terested in the success OF the nation
al banking system, every merchant,
every advocate of tariff reform, and
indeed all the people of the present
generation will welcome the relief
from taxation which solution OF
the pension problem in the way
herein suggested must, as natural
consequence, bring about. x x x *''

Hon. II. B. LINDSAY has been re-
moved from the Office of United
States district attorney and Hon.
James Ii. Bible has been appointed,
Mr.. Lindsey is not sore. Immc-
diately upon receipt of information
that his successor had been appoint
ed, he telegraphed his congratula-
tons to MIR. Bible and proposed to
extend every courtesy to the new
incumbent who will soon enter up
on his official duties. Mr.. Lindsey
has been able and faithful in the dis
charge Of his duties. We have new
er heard a word or a hint to the
contrary from any source. He re-
tires from the Office with the respect
of the court and of the public gener-
ally. His record is one of which he
is not ashamed and in which his
friends take pride. His successor,
Mr.. Bible, is young man of ability,
abundundantly qualified to dis
charge the duties of the office. He
is a democrat of democrats, and his
loyalty to Grover Cleveland ancient
and rock-ribbed. He has made a
long fight for the office, has mani
tested excellent staying qualities
and his many friends extend cor
dial congratulations. - Knoxville

ticial to the country II the price OF
the wages is taken into account"
This must refer to the great kinder
garten object lesson Professor Grow
err Cleveland.
Mr.. Burrows IS satisfied after a
daily attendance on these meetings
and watching the raging free traders
closely that the testimony has had a
modifying effect. He is also struck
with the fact that when cornered the
revenue reform Witnesses either
openly confessed or dropped from
under their clothing their own par
ticular little AK, which they are will
ling to have protected, provided ev-
erything else was put upon the free
list. tits, he thinks, a complete
vindication of the doctrine of pro-
lection.
Mr.. Gear of Iowa, with the prac-
teal common sense which has
characterized his public career, has
come to the conclusion that not only
the manufacturers but the labor in
terests of the country are opposed to
any interference with the tariff.
Mr.. Hopkins of Illinois, a man Of
keen insight into all business legis-
lation, declares unhesitatlngly that
the testimony strongly supports the
Mckinley law, and give it as his be-
lief that many Democrats who APP
pear before the committee are Of
this way of thinking. These Demo
Gratis made strong arguments in ia
vor of at once calling halt. Fur
ther interference with the tariff, ii
their opinion, at this time will bring
only ruin to capital and degradation
to labor.
Mr.. Payne of New York is con-
WINGED by the hearings that no artl
Gle has been increased in price by
the Mckinley law except possibly
pearl buttons. Since its passage
until the Democrats came into pow
er wage earners were enjoying
steady employment and wages wer'
high. From the moment Demo
cratic victory was won uneasines
and distrust began, and finally cul
minated in the present industrial de
preston and panic.
Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsylvania send
the Press one of the very best ant
most comprehensive letters. HI
clearly and concisely points out tina
the evidence shows beyond doub
that the prices have been steadii..
cheapened by the Mckinley law
that home production has been in
creased, that until Democratic sue
cess blighted the prospects gu
foreign commerce improved AM
wages were maintained. 1t ha
furthermore shown what a perfec
sham and pretense the Democratl
platform is. In Mr.. DalzelPs opin
ion the average Democrat who ap
peared before the committee,was a
much of a protectionist as his he
publican brother when it came t
his home interest or his particula
industry.
