And Incidentally Gives German a Turn

At 2 o'clock Senator Jones called up
the conference report on the tariff bill.
Senator Quay withdrew the sugar
amendments he offered yesterday.
Senator Villas said that on Monday a
democratic senator saw fit to attack the
president. 1t was without precedent,
he thought, or ii there was precedent
it ought to be stunned instead of fol-
lowed. 1t was q personal assault upon
the president aud his character. He
had hoped, lie said. thut the remarks of
Senator German and those who joined
him on that occasion would have APP

Referred to Precedsnta
Senator Villas referred 10 the fact
that President Washington came 10 the
same chamber, accompanied by his Sec
rotary, to urge in person the ratif1ca-
ton of treaty he had negotiated.
President Jackson's course in making
his views met by congress was also re-
ferred to. Mr.. Villas said he was cou-
tent to leave it to fair-minded men
whether the president had wantonly
encroached upon the rights of congress.
The charge was made that the senate
had been traduced. Extracts from the
letter to Mr.. Wilson were read to show
that the presidents purpose was not to
traduce the senate. but to plainly state
bis aspirations toward tariff reform.
The president had stated that the
abandonment of that great party prin-
ciple would be periidy and dishonor.
No one would question that such al
abandonment VI principles would
he dishonorable. The shalt was
not aimed ut any senator.

One Of the Results Of the Illinois State
Republican Convention.
CHICAGO, July 27.-The complete
victory won at the republican state
convention at Springfield on Wednes-
day by that element of the local repub.
lican party that recently controlled
the nominations on the county ticket;
and which holds close rela.
tons with representative east
ern republicans of influence in
national affairs, will tend materially
toward strengthening what has come
to be known as the Harrison machine
in this city, and which, looking ahead
TO 1896. is already laying plans for an
active anti-conventlon campaign in
behalf of the Indiana statesman and
ex-president.
Little i: any secrecy is now mani
tested as to this being the ultimate mo-
tive of the close combine that
has been effected in local re-
publican politics, and, what is
more TO the point, they have 80
far carried everything their own way,
both local and state, with u rush.
With genius as organizers, with con.
troll of the party machinery,
with logged determination 10
whip the disgruntled elements
into the tracs, and with apparently
unlimited command Of funds, the com.
bine may be expected to make some
interesting moves In the national po-
litical field during the next two Yeas.

Tho Senate Refused to Recede From
Those Schedules.
Senator Stewart of Nevada began O
speech on the respective prerogatives
of congress and the executive. He de-
clared the conditions were such that
member of congress must obey the
president or leave congress. The power
and influence of the executive we such
it could control the election or defeat
of a member. 1t was trifling with
great question, he said, for the presi-
dent to reopen it after compro mise
bad been reached for the purpose of
taking 40 cents Il ton off coal and iron.
When Senator Stewart concluded
the president pro tenn announced the
question TO be OH Senator Hilrs resolu-
ton, that the senate recede from the
amendments making coal and iron
ore dutiable at 40 cents per ton. Sena-
tor Hill demanded . division of the
question, SD the vote was first taken on
iron ore. The republicans, except
Senator Hansbrough. voted with the
democrats, and the first half of the
resolution was lost, 6 to IS. The six
affirmative votes were Hill of New
York and Irby of South Carolina. DEM
ocrats, Hansbrough Of North Dakota,
republican, and Allen, Kyle and PETER,
populists.
A vote on that portion of the resolu.
ton receding from the amendments on
coal followed, sharing the fate of its
predecessor, being defeated to GA. The
same senators voted for. this motion as
for the iron ore proposition.
The sugar Matter Went Over.
Senator Washburn of Minnesota
then submitted q motion to instruct
the senate conferrees 10 recede from
that portion of the sugar schedule plac-
ing the one-eighth of cent differential
on sugar above 16 Dutch standard.
Senator Gray of Delaware made the
point of order against the motion that
it was not competent for the senate to
instruct the c0nferrees of full nd free
conference to insist upon or recede
from any particular amendment. To
do 50 would be to prevent the free and
untranmelled confederation of amend
lnents in conference. ~
Senator Hale contended that an in
struclion to the conferrees to recede
from any amendment put upon the
bill by the senate would not trammel
the conferrees 1t would simply elm.
mate the subject of difference. Sena-
tor Mills bolstered Senator Gray's
point of order with another that
the senate could not recsde from por-
ton Of an amendment and therefore
the senate could not Instruct Its con-
ferrees to do that which it could not
do ITSELF Without discussing the
point at order, the senate at 5:45 p. III.

WLASTO THE RESCUE
Defends the President From the
Attacks of German.
RIGHTS DEFINED
For Two Hours Mr.. Villas Holds the Floor
Amid the Wrapt Attention of the
Senate and Galleries.

WASHINGTON, July &c. - Senator
Villas, who was secretary of the interior
and later postmaster general under
Cleveland's first administration, re-
piled today to Senator Germans at
tack upon the president. For two
hours he held the floor amid the wrapt
attention of the senate and galleries,
delivering his scathing rebuke of the
Maryland senator.
Mr.. Cleveland had expressed to the
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee the hope that the result he de-
sired should be accomplished in confer
ence, said Villas. He had a right to
say it after his conversation as detailed
by Senator Jones; he had right to in
sist and urge it by any proper means.
But it was said the presidents letter
constituted an encroachment upon the
prerogatives of the senate. His right
to send it was not denied. Was the
language that of a man who sought to
reach beyond his power? he asked.
Was it not rather the honest outpour-
Ing of genuine democratic address in
support of principles the president had
so nobly carried through two trying
presidential contests.
Senator Villas then quoted and
ranged alongside of Mr.. Cleveland's
utterance the statement of Senator
German that tie senate bill could not
pass if it did not have the hearty sup
port of Mr.. Cleveland. At the very
time the president was writing his
letter to Mr.. Wilson, the senator from
Maryland. and his co-workers were ap-
pealing to Mr.. Cleveland to induce
him to support. them in an effort to
qualify the enactment of democratic
principles by crystalizing them into
law. How utterly wanton is this cry
of interference now; because he has
seen tit to throw the weight of his in
huence with the house in favor of dem
ocratic principles, because he refused to
stand with them, they make his action
ground of complaint here and in horror
cry out against executive interference.
senator from Maryland could mean
only one thing. 1t was All effort to
array the democrats together in a spirit
of resentment and thus carry out the
compromise of tariff reform. The Will
son bill had passed amid public ac-
clamation. The people accepted it as
the honest execution of party and pub
lie pledge, but when this revenue re-
form measure reached the senate, iron
and coal were placed on the dutiabIe
list.

THE NEW TARIFF.
Inc
Big
Comes! Toledo Blade.

ItS Psralyzing Effects on New Branches
 of Industry,
 The new democratic tariff is dis tinctly not a democrati1 tariff in prin- ciple. In important portions it treats all democratic principles and pledges with absolute contempt In spots it is really and highly protective, and the favors granted to few monopolies are all the worse because other industries with which they have relations or com pete are ground into the dust under free trade theories. Thus one manu- facturer of certain kinds of steel is en- abled by high duties to pay his hands IS high wages as they have received, or even higher, while other manufact- urers of steel in the same neighbor- hood, producing different articles. are forced 10 reduce wages 30 per cent. or shut up. The favored monopoly can thus get labor cheaper, because thou sands doing similar work will be thrown out of employment, even while he can realize a great profit without any reduction. But while favoring some interests, the bill of sale pro- fesses to be protective in almost every part, and its profession is generally fraudulent. ....
 The democratic theory that specific duties are deceptive and wrong in principle this tariff disregards wherev- CT it finds particular interest that its framers wish to aid. But a perfect comprehension of the fact that ad valorem duties open the way to fraud, and thus render protection unreal and untrustworthy, is shown in the choice of such duties wherever an interest was to be slaughtered while show was to be made of defending it. Thus the rice of Carolina has the real de- fense of specific duties; the animals and breadstuffs of Northwestern farm CTS have only the bogus defense of ad valorem duties. New specific du- ties are created for favored interests; on round wire, for instance, blasting powder, lithographic plates on card board, cigar labels, red pepper, and the duties on cotton goods are more fully specific than those of the present tar if, while the great woolen industry is lett to destruction with only ad val orem duties, and nearly all the duties on cutlery, flax and linens, leather, buttons, boiler plate, hoop iron, chains, fence and corset wire, nails, firearms and railway fish plates are ad valorem, and leave producers at the mercy of fraudulent importations. The follow inr shows the character of the duties in the present tariff and the character of the duties on the same articles un- der the proposed tariff:

DEMOCRATIC FAILURE.
Distrust and Defeat the Portion of ths
 Party in Power.

Distrust and Defeat the Portion of the
 Party in Power.
 The acceptance by the house of rep resentatives of the senate tariff bill is a surrender of the democratic party to a small coterIe of senators who have been the active agents of the sugar trust. It is the defeat of the just ex- pectations of the people who placed the democratic party in power in both the executive and legislative branches of the government, believing that it would reform the tariff. This disap- pointment has been anticipated, but the contempt and anger which it has aroused will not be the less for that reason. The democratic party has failed to perform what it has itself declared again and again to be it's mission. Is has, therefore, invited dis trust and defeat, and will assuredly receive it's just deserts What hope it has for the future lies in the prom ised blundering of republican politi- clans like eX-Speaker Reid and Sena- tor Lodge, who are endeavoring to nc- SOIdtS dll illIduCS "lIH IHc
 It may be that its defeat and its mis- erable and abject condition will at least teach it the wisdom which it ought to have learned many years ago, and that it will now rid itself Of the leaders who have always invited dis trust of it, retarding its progress, and at last turned its victory into ashes. It must be confessed that so much courage and wisdom are not to be ex- pected of it confidently. The iInbe- cility which attended the steps of the tariff bill does not inspire hope. If the democratic party were wise 1t would not have adopted the populist income tax. If it were courageous ,t would not have accepted the bill with the sugar trust schedule fl it. It would have continued to fight for its principles with such vigor and such sincerity that the Germans, Brices, Smiths. Murphys and Hills would have recognized at last that they could no longer successfully pose as democrats. It has done nothing but yield. There is nothing in the official record of the national demo- cratic party to show that German, Brice and Smith will not again be able to pledge it to Louisiana or any other protectionists with whom they may make bargain.
 What the effect of all this may be on national politics it is too early to determine. The tariff question is at rest for the moment, and there will be no further agitation of it during Mr Cleveland's administration. On other questions the drift of events will set tie the attitude of parties. This much, however, is certain, that for the first time in the history of the country a single monopoly, audacious, insolent and confessedly corrupt, has succeeded in dictating to congress law affecting the general welfare, the revenues of the government and the tariff policy of the country. And for this consum- nation the democratic party is respon- sible. -Harper's Weekly.
