THE TAMMANY IDEA OF 1T
CROKER AN OUT-AND-OUT
PROTECTIONIsT.
He Talks Like a Disciple of Nc.
kinley, and Probably Does Not
Subscribe to the Democratic
Platform-Ae Fears.

Sr. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Feb. 12.- Richard
Croker in an interview says that, in the
language Of Gen. Hancock, the tariff is
simply local issue. and he thinks it
IS unfortunate that Democratic Con.
gressmen are not allowed to vote for
protection when necessary to the inter-
ests of their districts. He fears that
the removal of the sugar tax will lose
Louisiana to the Democratic party. If
sugar is made free, he says, the in.
come tax must bccome part of
our financial system, and he fears
the effect of this tax on the Democracy in
New York. He fears that free wool will
cause serious damage to many poor
farmers in New York. He believes eyery
American industry should be moderate
ly protected. He thinks that the pres
ent tariff bill is Too severe. and saws if it
were possible for the Republicans to
pare down the Mckinley bill to a mod.
crate basis they would carry future elec.
tions and be hard to dislodee.
Mr.. Croker says Congress should
either pass or defeat the tariff bill at
once. as something must be done to re.
leVe business OF the uncertainty that
now exists.

GALvEsToN's DREDGING.

Texas is a little concerned over

a correspondent of the LIGHT in

a half article from Waco, pub

the request for information as to
the facts and the Galveston lobby.
tits several years since the Editor
of the LIGHT was in the National
Capitol, and he has no knowledge
of what transpires there other
than as an occasional private let
ter informs him, in addition to the
regular press reports. AS to the
Galveston lobby, that is open to
any clothing of the imagination
the individual may desire. AS to
the facts, they are as stated. When
the rivers and harbOrs apprOpria-
ton was under consideration the
sum of 100000 was set down for
dredging in Galveston harbor.
The LIGHT called attention to the
fact at the time and commented
upon the employment of a dredge
boat to scoop the sand out of har-
Dor that was popularity declared to
be Of sufficient depth and area to
float the tonnage of the world. 1t
