Neither Mr.. Brockinridgc nor his

Morris. Her ALLEGATIONS during tho
trial were perfect, She acted her part
vol, and aho Understood hor case thor
oughly. There was no part OF 1t she
did not understand. Ny impression OF
the case was that sho was simply prac.
ticlng for mn entry upon tho stage. Hcr
human passions and stago actions were
among tho tho attractive features OF the
trial.
an my opinion this suit has been
tho most unfortunate thing that has
happened 10 this country. Thousands
will not condono for tho trying OF tho
case. II | had been in Judge Bradley's
place on tho bench tho case should not
have been tried. 1t has poisoned tho
public mind and polluted society be-
yond repair. 1t is most terrible thing
socially. l have received hundreds OF
letters from mothers, wives and daugh.
tors not to permit Mndge Pollard's
standard OF morality to DO the accepted
standard. l had certain feeling OF
sympathy for her, the same as l have
always had for any woman, no matter
how unfortunate. | have hopes that
Breckinridgo will win the case, yet we
had whole houses full OF weapons which
we could not use. II Colonel Breckin-
ridge loses the case he has no money to
pay anybody. Madgo Pollard know
that; all Hhu wanted was to expose
him. She has done that.
NOW the speeches are to DO heard. I
presume that the case will end and tho
jury retire for its deliberations about
"Wednesday afternoon. After tho do.
cision OF the jury I will give my version
OF the whole inside history OF the case.
Ii Breckenridge loses he will ask for q
now trial; unsuccessful in that, he will
appeal. He will not make q speech to
the Jury"

The minister then said: "This ends

One OF tho continuing phenomena OF
tho times Is the competition OF mer-

from mon who in times OF active trade

Senator Mills, who had principal
part In making the senate tariff bill, do
clarcs for al valorcm duties before any
other. In his opinion duty laid on
the value OF an imported commodity is
the perfection Of n fair and altogether
lovely thing, while duty on tho guam.
tity is aa abomination.
In the bill which tho Texas senator
helped TO make arc two or three hun
dred OF those specific denominations, put
there, rs Mr.. Mills explains, to give tho
bill chance to get through tho senate.
II he had his way there would be no
specific duties. Ho would have all
duties laid on tho value.
Under tho bill this value is to DO the
valuo OF tho commodities in the princi.
pal markets of the county from which
they come. Appraisers must know
these changing values and keep tab on
transporting and importing conscience,
which experience has shown to DO a
thing OF wondrous elasticity, accom-
modatins itself TO tho exicencies OF
trade as water seeks its level. Tho i'm.
porting interest much prefers the ad.
yalorem system, by which it is able to
reduce any tariff rate provided by Con-
9ress. Il always has been so and NJ.
ways will be SO.
Until now no secretary OF the treas
ury OF my party, except Robert ]. Wal
ker, Democrat, has favored ad valorem
duties as the general principle OF 4 tariff
system. Secretary Manning aud Secre-
tary Fairchid in Presidents Cleroland's
first term were strongly opposed to it.
Tho specific duty, laid on the guam
tity, is tho sure means OF reaching most
imported articles. In some cases it. is
wise to compound tho duties, laying on
the same article duty which applies
to the quantity and another which ap.
plies TO tho value. Low duties as we'll
rs high duties may DO levied in this
way. \ compound duty may have an
I'D valorem equivalent OF 10 per cent or
OF 100 por cent. In tho Mckinley act
tho duties are arranged to accomplish
the two objects OF raising revenue and
OF protecting home industry, and both
ends were accomplished.
In his denunciation OF specific duties
as being irredoemablY bad Senator Mills
seems to forget that there is no other
kind OF duty in the British customs
tariff, for which he has, OF course, great
admiration and to the like OF which he
hopes his party will come in time,
Great Britain does not lay one I'D va.
lorem duty. OF the nineteen dutiable
articles in her tssitf schedule yielding
sloO,oQ0Ona OF revenue every one is
taxed on the pouDd, the gallon or the
hundsedweiGht Va!ue does not enter
into it in single case. Great Britain
is alter revenue and takes the most d.
rect and sures: way TO Sc. it
1t is significant thatia the pending
tariff bill the duties on sugar, rico and
peanuts are not al raiorem, Every one
OF them is specific The southern Dem
ocrats know what they want With re-
specs to these articles and they take the
most direct ard surNst way TO set it.

In por ted Labor Under Contract.
So far US the facts appear it is not just
to censure those who have made pre-
vious Investigations Of tho charge that
the contract labor law was violated by
bringing to Wheeling German potters
under contract
Tho men alleged to have been i'm.
ported were not ready to make any rev.
Citations. Now. being dismissed from
the company's service, they say that
they came over under contract and had
their passage paid for them. An inves.
tigation which has tho cooperation OF
these men is quite different from one
which finds them on the other side.
The contract labor law is wise meas
ure, one that should be respected by
employers and enforced BY the govern.
ment. The explanation made by the
company, given in another column OF
the 1NTRLuGENcEE, does not show that
the company is culpable. 1t appears
that by agreement test case was to be
made which it was not certain that the
law covered.
