colleagues and the American people in
the eye and tell the truth.
In patriotism the Democrats of the
senate had gone to work to save the
country and keep their party in power,
when suddenly in the midst of the
struggle came the Presidents letter.
1T was the most uncalled for, the most
extraordinary, the most unwise com
munication," said he, in bite. tones,
that ever came from a President of
the United States. 1t placed this body
IN a position where its members must
see to it that the dignity and honor of
this chamber must be preserved.
1T placed me-" said Mr.. German,
lin a position where l must tell the
story as it occurred. The limit of en-
durance has been reached" MI. Cor,
man then proceeded to detail the his
tory of the tariff bill after it reached
the Senate, and the manner in which,
to meet the objections and secure the
support of certain disaffected Demo
Gratis, the changes had been agreed
upon. He stated emphatica1ly that
during the progress of this work Messrs.
Vest and Jones had frequent confer
ences with Secretary Carlisle, and
oftentimes with Mr.. Cleveland himself.
No material sacrifice of principle was
made. The result was, as he had de
clared on a previous occasion, a Demo
cratic measure, which in his opinion,
leaned toward the radical tariff reform
sentiment, and which hethought would
receive the support of a Democratic
House, Senate and President. He be-
lieved then, as he believed now, that
be had authority for that statement.
He charged directly that every n of
the Senate amendments had been seen
by Secretary Carlisle and scanned by
him before they were agreed upon. He
drew upon his desk and had read an
interview with Secretary Carlisle on
April Both, in which the Secretary of
the Treasury gave the Senate bill his
sweeping endorsement,
A SATISFACTORY COMPROMISE.
That interview, said Mr.. German,
softened che hard places for those who
were trying to harmonic differences.
It did much to aid the Democrats of
the Senate in getting together. He did
not believe that the Democrats would
have even gotten together had it not
been for that interview. The Secretary
of the Treasury, necessarily spoke in a
great measure for the President, in
matters relating to his department. On
the morning folio wing the publication
of that interview the papers announced
that the President was in entire accord
with his great Secretary OF the Treas
ury. If that was not true, then the
forty-three Democratic Senators on this
side of the chamber had been misled.
AS a compromise, Mr. German asserted
that the bill, as completed, was salts
factory to not a single solitary human
being in all it's details. But as a whole.
the structure presented, as scanned by
the Secretary of the Treasury and the
President, as looked at by US, was &C
cepted as the best bill that could be
passed.

POSSIBILITIES ARE IMMINENT.

Chinese Troops Leave for Seoul--If
Japan is Firm War will Follow.
SHANGHAI, July 23.-The report that
China has declared wal upon Japan is
premature. War has not yet been for
mally declared, but hostilities are inn
minent.
Troops left Tku Friday with a feet
of gunboats. 1t is supposed they were
destined for Seoul, with orders to fight
the Japanese if the latter opposed
China's occupation of any point in
Corea If war should be declared the
government at Pekin will make a levy
of twenty thousand men from each
Chinese province and send a feet to
attack the Japanese ports. The Chinese
Government has notified foreign con

THR DEMOCRATIC SENATE'S DO
NATION TO THE WHIS-
KEY TRUST.

The Senate has been almost as kind
to the whiskey trust as to the sugar
trust. Estimating the present stock in
the bonded warehouses at 200. 900, 600
gallons, the increase of the tax from 80
cents to 81 10 a gallon will put exactly
$40, 600, 900 into the pockets of the whis
key trust. But the $40, 900, 900 is not
the only gratuity given by the Senate
to the whiekey trust. The bonded
period, three years under the existing
law, is made eight years by the Senate;
that is, the trust gets five years more
from the government before being
obliged to pay the tax. All this time
the whiskey is improving and the
whiskey trust is saving interest. At
$1.1O a gallon, the interest at 4 per
cent. would be 4 4 cents a gallon. On
100, 900, 900 gallons the interest would
be 81, 400, 900, the sum the Senate
virtually gives to the whiskey trust
every year for five years. In other
words, besides making a direct dona-
ton of $40, 600, 900 to the whiskey
trust, it saves that thrifty concern In
five years interest to the amount of
$22, 900, 600. -EcchGnge.

there was a single candid reader of the

an immense sum was raised to bring
about the single gold standard, and the
indications are that money has been
freely used where it would do the most
good. The corrupt money power would
readily part with from $25, 600 to $780,

votes In Congress that would enable
them to tasten more firmly the chains
OF slavery on the great mass of the
people, and at the same time increase
their Ill gotten gains. Are there any

Eighty-nine per cent. of the Repuk-

IKE IN NEW o r
He Unfolds His Plans at a Meeting--Dr.
McGlynn Speaks.

McGlynn Speaks.
NEW YORK, July 23.-General Jacob
s. Coxey, of the Army Of the Common
veal, was at RidgewoOd Park, r. l.,
yesterday, where he was rendered a
reception by the representatives of the
Peoples party, who were holding a
picnic there. General Coxey made an
address at the big afternoon meeting.
II represent a party" he said, ''that
does not want money that is redeem
able in gold exclusively, but money
that is redeemable in everything used
in this country"
General Coxey then unfolded the de-
tails of his good roads scheme, which
he said would give employ ment to
every workman in this country and
would make the United States the most
powerful country in the world.
Hethen took up the railroad troubles,
referring to George M. Pullman as
"King George w." Let the people
of the United States condemn the rail
roads" said he, land compel the gov
eminent to buy them. If the railroad
people can condemn your property
when they are building a railroad on
the ground that it is for the common
benefit, you in turn should condemn
their property and operate the railroads
for the common benefit of humanity"
Continuing, he said: THE only place
for you to strike at is Washington. Go
through your public parks and marshal
the tramps and unemployed workmen,
tell them the cushions down in Wash
ington are as soft as they are here, and
tell them [ have a plan to feed them
down here. / don't mind telling the
plan. When the men get down there
they will be sent to jail as l was. The
jail in Washington can only accommo-
date 300 persons. 1t is full now, so the
men will have to be put to work build
ing iails to imprison themselves in. IF
I cannot get them work at one thing I
can get them work at another"
In closing, the CommonWeal leader
again urged upon his hearers to marshal
the unemployed of New York and
Brooklyn and march in a body to Con
gress and demand that the good roads
plan be put into shape for practical
legislation.
Rev. DR.. Edward McGlynn then ad-
dressed the assemblage.
The following resolutions were then
"ResolUed, That the time has come
when no further hope can be held of
any remedies for our present industrial
distress from either the Republican or
the Democratic party; that they are

A FREE SILVER CONFERENCE.
President Warner, of the BimetalIic
League, Issues a Call.

League, Issues a Call.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-General A.
]. Warner, President of the American
Bimetallic League, has issued the fol-
lowing address:
The country has now had q years
experience under the gold standard
policy since the acts of 1893 closing the
mints of India and the stoppage of the
coinage of silver in the United States.
The results of this experience are mani
fest on every hand in the business de-
preston Of the country, in labor strikes
and In the general discomfort that
everywhere prevails.
Congress will soon complete it's work,
and the general situation and the pros
poets before the country will then be
fully disclosed. Some State elections,
involving the election of United States
Senators, have already been entered
upon, and the campaign for the cleo
ton of members of the House Of the
Fifty-fourth Congress will soon begin.
In view of these conditions, the execu-
tive committee of the American BIZ
metallic League has thought it advis-
able to call a conference of those who
believe that no permanent improve
ment in the condition of the country
can be hoped for as long as the present
gold standard policy is pursued, and
who favor the Immediate restoration
of the bimetallic standard in the United
States, with the free coinage of both
gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1,
to be held at Washington, Thursday,
August 16, 1894, to take into considera-
ton the situation of the country and
decide upon the policy to be pursued
to bring about the change In the none
tary policy Of the government neces-
sary to restore prosperity to thepeople.

THE AGAIN.
Governor Tillman Declares the Law of
1893 to be in Force.

COLUMBIA, S O., July % Governor
Tillman to day issued his proclamation
declaring the dispensary law of 1898 to
be in force, and ordering the dispen
saries to resume business under it's pro
visions on August LIST.
The recent decisions of the State Su-
preme Court we're upon cases arising
under the law of 1892, made no refer
ence to the law of 1893. Hence the
Governor holds the latter law to be
operative, and he declares his intention
to enforce it.
