Gen. SchOfield Elected.

The Army and Navy Club held it's annual
meeting and election of officers last even
ing at its club house. Connecticut avenue
and 1 street More than the usual interest
was taken in the election, owing to the
fact that there was a rivalry between the
two branches Of the service as to the choice
OF president, the navy putting up Capt.
Robley ID. Evans as its candidate against
Gen. Schofeld, the incumbent of the Office.
The rivalry was of the friendliest sort
however. One hundred and fourteen bal,
lots were cast, and when they were count
ed II was seen that Gen. Schofield had been
reelected by majority of thirty. The
other officers elected were: Gen John Glib
bons, vice president; Mai. De Witt Poole
treasurer: Ensign Philip Andrews secre-
tary, and Col. Haywood OF the marine
corps. Lieut. Charles Laird of the navy
and Col. Anthony Heller Of the army, d.
rectors.

The Wilson Bill q Return to the Low
Tariffs of Former Years
senator Gallinger Protests Against
Decided Views ON an Income Tax.

An interesting contribution to the tariff
discussion was made today by Senator Gal
hnger or New Hampshire, who addressed
the Senate on the Wilson tariff bill At the
outset he drew a picture OF the depression
which existed in the country at this time
ana the poverty and suffering entailed upon
the masses OF the people. He referred to
the wide extent Of the interests affected by
the Wilson bill, all of which, he said. the
democratic party threatens utterly to de-
stroy. He attributed the change in the con-
ditions existing in this country to the notice
served by the democratic party of their in
tended tariff legislation. He denied that the
Sherman silver law had anything to do with
the Industrial depression, and referred to a.
speech which he had made at the opening of
the special session, when he had stated this
view. He discussed. what he termed the
fallacy in the phrase free raw materials"
and maintained that there is nothing that
can properly be called a raw material
He referred to the statistics of the unem-
ployed In this country, and then added !:
Mr.. President, was greatly astonished to
near the Senator from Arkansas (Mr. Berry,

words that republican manufacturers are

rejected on his words. Does not the Senator
know the condition that exists throughout
the north in manufacturing districts? Does
ne not know that the petitions which are
pouring In from workingmen come from
democrats as well as republicans, and that
the mass meetings that are being held in
northern cities to protest against the pro-
posed tarin laws are non-partisan? Does he
not know that democratic manufacturer

The Income Tax.

The Income Tax.
The proposed income tax came in for a
share Of attention, and on this subject the
Senator said:
Mr.. President, this country had an in
come tax law from 1868 to 1873, when IL
was repealed 1t was adopted as a war
measure and used to help repair some of
the ravages Of the fierce strife of 1861 e.
1t was found to be inequitable, unjust. in
quisitorial and offensive-a tax Upon the
prosperity of our own people rather than
upon the products and profits Of foreign
governments. 1t is said that such a tax
will yield a revenue of $50 OO0, OO0 and thus
make ii possible to take of and reduce the
duties on some imported articles But how
will this help the laboring man? 1t will
not set single American mill running or
build new one. On the contrary, IL will
by encouraging increased importations.
close American mills, degrade American
labor and build up foreign interests at the
expense OF our own country. 1t will pun
ish the north for its energy, enterprise and
thrift and fasten upon this country a form
OF odious taxation, already once tried and
repudiated-a form Of taxation denounced,
not only by republicans, but by scores of
democrats and democratic newspapers I'm
different parts of the United States
1T is now proposed to revive this odious
and inquisitorial tax, with the certainty
that the north will have to pay the hulk
Wilson tariff bill to strike down our mar
ufacturing interests in behalf OF importers
and foreign manufacturers. 1t Is a mon
strous proposition, and IL remains to be
seen whether the northern Representa-
and Senators will give their support to
such a sectional and unjust scheme of TAX
ation-a law that would necessarily turn n
swarm Of spies and informers loose upon
the country, and pay a premium to tax
lodging and perjury.
In conclusion the Senator said: ''The de-
preston which has settled upon this country
like pail is not an accident 1t is the legft-
innate and necessary result of tariff agita-
ton and the threatened lowering of duties
We might just as well look the fact squarely
In the face that II the assault upon the tar
IN, led by the President, succeeds a long
period of business depression is ineyita bic
With foreign goods flooding our market and
American labor unemployed, our people will
not be prosperous, even IL they do get dress
goods a cent yard cheaper than they do
under existing law.
And yet, notwithstanding all past ex-
perience with low tariffs. il is seriously
proposed to enact another. Today labor is
naces, and the loom and the shuttle are
silent; gloom and misery have taken the
place or cheer and contentment: all as a
result OF threatened tariff changes Why
not abandon the whole thing and stand
by the American protective system, which
has heretofore brought prosperity to our
country and happiness and plenty TO our
people! In behalf of capital; in behalf of
labor; In behalf of national honor ana
national prosperity. 1 appeal to the Ameri-
can Senate to put its seal of condemnatio
on this effort to hand our country and our
people over TO the tender mercies Of for
eign nations"
