TARIFF LIES BY REPUBLICANS.
The Real Cause OF the Existing Industrial
Stagnation.

The Real Cause OF the Existing Industrial
Stagnation.
The long tariff declaration by the
Pennsylvania republicans is a string OF
unmitigated falshoods. 1t begins with
the assertion that the threats and ef-
forts" of the democratic party ''to de-
stroy the system of protection to
American industries have wrecked our
manufacturing establishments. de-
stroyed the value of our farm products,
ruined our employers, beggared our
workingmen, and brought distruss
upon the honesty of their proposed
legislation
The democratic platform of 1902 was
threat" to destroy protcctionism
and give the country a tariff for rev
enue only. On that platform the demo-
cratic party administered tremend-
Gus whipping to the party of protec
tionism. Everybody, including all the
protectees, expected the democratic
party to make long stride toward
free trade and the utter demolition OF
protectionism. And yet the manufac
turing benefciaries of the tariff went
on building factories and turning ont
products with hardly a pause for eight
| months after election. They did not
diminish their output, and, strange to
say. they did not reduce wages, as they
did in many instances soon after the
enactment of the Mckinley tariff
This one fact demonstrates that
radical reduction of the tariff had no
terrors for them. 1t was not until the
business public became profoundly
alarmed at the impending conse-
quences of republican silver legislation
that the trouble began.
1t was that accomplished legislation,
ana not the fear of tariff reduction,
that started the panic and produced
the results described with so much ex-
aggeration by the Pennsylvania repub-
licans. This was freely admitted for
Snonths after the panic began by lead
ing republican organs and conspicuous
benetciaries of McKinleyism. 1t was
year after the election of 1892 before
republican leaders and organs began
to charge the consequences of the re-
publican silver panic to fear of demo
cratic tariff legislation.
AS for the speciticat tions in the Penn
sylvauia declaration-that the demo
cratic assault upon the American pro.
tective system" has reduced to idle.
ness two million workmcn." and so on
they are sheer partisan lying of the
most reckless description. They are o
wild and desperate attempt tc shift re-
sponsibility for the painful conse'
quences of the republican silver panic
from the republican to the democratic
party. They are futile attempt tc
make the people believe that the
natural and necessary effects of actual
republican legislation are the effects
of democratic legislation not yet en-
acted, and which now promises to be
strikingly like the republican legisla,

During The month of May the treasury
sustained net loss in gold for export

While the treasury is losing ground

treasury is gaining.
While there is no present prospect in
the cessation of gold exports, still there
are no indications that a new bond

will soon be celebrated at which the
groom will be in Pottsville and the
bride on the other side of the Atlantic
ocean, more than 5000 miles away.

young people have been lovers for a
long time, but the young man is un-
able to cross the ocean and wed his
sweetheart. A power of attorney was
issued Saturday by n notary pub
lie, which will be sent to Spain. and
which gives JOS. Romero, of Gibraltar,
power to act for Mr.. Thompson at the
marriage. The bride is Romero's
niece. The bride will come to this
country and join her husband after the
ceremony. This is the first case of
marriage by proxy in Pottsvfile's his

that the ceremony would be legal.

HE EXPLAINS.
Authorized Version of Car1isic's Dotnes
with Sugar Schedule.

Authorized version of Car1isic's Doines
with Sugar Schedule.
WASHINGTON, June 2.--Secretary Car.
isles part in the preparation Of the
sugar schedule of The bill is officially
stated as follows:
Senator Jones esilcd upon and in
formed him that the subcommittee had
agreed upon the sugar schedule and
requested that he put it in proper form.
This the secretary did. In the after
noon at Mr.. Jones' request Secretary
Carlisle visited the capital and was in
formed that only changes were under
consideration. and being requested to
do so, made some interlineations in the
amendment.
The committee then decided that
provision should be incorporated pro.
viding that the Hawaiian reciprocity
treaty should not be affected by the
schedule. The book containing the
treaties was obtained by Secretary
Carlisle from the room of the foreign
committee, and he wrote the proviso
which preserves the Hawaiian treaty.
| All this is in the handwriting of Secre-
tary Carlisle. 4rl
This event transpired on Saturday,
May S. That night it occurred to the
secretary that If the bounty should be
repealed July 1, 1894, and duty should
not be imposed until six months there
after, there would be a period during
which there would be neither bounty
nor duty. He desired to save the
committee from the criticism which
would follow so palable u Slunder. He
sought Senator Jones. Finding that
he had gone to the capitol, the secre.
tary drove there and found Senators
Jones, Mcpherson and Vest and Repre-.
sentative Breckinridge, of the ways
and means committee, engaged in GO
ing over the bill.
That visit on Sunday, May 6, was the
only visit made by Mr.. Carlisle to the
committee without an invitation, and
the change alluded to is the only origi-
nal suggestion he made in connection
with the formulation of the bill.
With reference to the giving of a let
ter to Mr.. Havemeyer, introducing that
gentleman to Senator Mills, it appear:
that when he presented himself at the
treasury department he was informed
that he should call upon those whe
were framing the bill.
Mr.. Havemeyer had slight acquaint
ance with Mr.. Mills. and in order t.
save time and insure him conferenc,
with the senator, Secretary Carlisle, a
the request of Mr.. Havemeyer, gav'
him note of introduction.
The story that Secretary Carlisle
called on the committee on his owl
motion and insisted that a certail
schedule for sugar should be adopted
for the reason that the sugar trust ha'
made liberal contributions to the dem
ocratic fund, is denied emphatically b.
the secretary.

A sR,sERy SYSTEM.
The Corrupt Practices Of High Tarin
Advocates.

Advocates.
1t Is not at all strange that direct
bribery has been attempted as one OF
the means to influence the votes Of
senators on the tariff bill.
OF course the attempts at bribery are
directed against democratic senators.
The votes of republican senators have
been secure from the beginning against
any change that would reduce the
enormous rates of monopoly tariff tax
alton. Corrupt influences would be
used, naturally. only to affect the ac-
tion OF democratic congressman.
1t was to be expected that, sooner OF
later. at some stage OF the issue. the
tariff corruptionists would offer direct.
ly to purchase votes.
The entire Mckinley tariff system IL
bribery. Not member of congress
can vote to impose high tariff tax
for purposes OF protection except from
some motive of sordid selfishness and
greed-corrupt political greed or greed
for gain.
Protection bribes the popular vote.
The farmer is bribed by the false
promises of nearer market and bet
ter prices for his products. Labor is
bribed by false promises of higher
wages. Commercial classes are bribed
by false promises of flush times and
big profits in trade.
The panic and wreck in financial af-
fairs, in labor affairs and in agricul.
tural affairs, show how false was tho
corrupt promise which the protection
lists made to the people. The bribe
that they offered was Elusive But the
corruption was real.
| The offer was like that of the being
who promised ''all the kingdoms of the
world" for the service and worship of
the person to whom the temptation
was addressed. The being who made
the offer could not fulfill one of its
conditions. 1t was a false offer. But
it was equally corrupt and criminal az
If he could have paid the price which
he had promised.
Experience shows that the prosper.
ity promised by the protectionist is a
disastrous illusion. The offered bribs
was not Il reality. But the corruption,
the crime of the transaction, though
the consideration failed, is the same.
Failure to pay bribe does not allie.

payment.
The entire process is system OF
bribes by which votes are manufac'
tured against such a tariff as the dem.
ocratic party pledged its faith that il
would give to the people Nothing is
more corrupt in the history of legisla-
tion than the acts of which the sena.
torial gamblers ~ trust certificates
were guilty when they framed the
sugar schedule after raking off their
profits in buying and selling sugar Sc.
cnrities.
The same impeachment holds in re.
gard to every other feature of the tariff
on which schedules have been manipu-
lated by congressional dabblers in
