WASHINGTON, August 29.-After its
long and hazardous voyage the senate
tariff bill is at last in harbor. 1t becomes
a law today without the presidents sig
nature as predicted. Yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Cleveland wrote a letter to Repre-
sentative Gatherings giving the reasons
for his acting. Among other things in
this letter he said Il do not claim 10 be
better than the masses of my party, nor
40 | wish to avoid any responsibility
which, on account Of the passage of this
law, | ought to bear as a member of the
democratic organization. Neither will |
permit myself to be separated from my
party to such an extent as might be i'm
piled by my veto of tariff legislation
which, though disappointing, is still
charitable to democratic effort But there
are provisions in this bill which are not
in line with honest tariff reform, and it
contains inconsistencies and cruelties
which ought not to appear in tariff laws
or laws of any kind. Besides, they were,
as you and | we'll know, incidents accom-
panying the passage of the bill through
congress which made every sincere tariff
reformer unhappy, while influences sur
rounded it in its latter stages and inter.
fered with its final construction which
ought not to be recognized or tolerated
in democratic tariff reform cOunsels. And
yet Notwithstanding all its vicissitudes,
and all the bad treatment it received at
the hands of pretended hands, it presents
a vast improvement to existing condi-
tons
II love the principles of true demOc-
racy, because they are founded in patriot
ism and upon justice and fairness toward
all interests. | am proud of my party
organizations, because it is conservative'y
sturdy and persistent in the enforcement
of It's principle. Therefore | do not de-
sDair Of the efforts made by the house of
representatives to supplement the bill
already passed by further legislation,
and to have engraftcd upon it such mod
iications as will more nearly meet demo
cratic hopes and aspirations
THE millions Of our countrymen who
have fought bravelY and we'll for tariff
reform, should be exhortcd to continue
the struggle boldly, challenging to open
warfare and constantly guarding against
treachery and half heartedness in their
camp.
"Tariff reform will not be settled until
it is honestly and fairly settled in the in
terest and to the benefit Of a patient and
long suffering people" |
Strong appeals were made to the pres
ident to sign the bill, but all were in vain
and it is expected that his message to
congress when it again assemblies in De
will be very emphatic on this sub
ject. The republicans are circulating his
letter TO Wilson as a campaign document
Bynum says it will act as
a boomerang for them and will greatly
help the democrats, especially in the
West.
Congress adjourned at 2 o'clock this
afternoon.
Senator Carlisle has advertised 5000
reward for the arrest of the supposed
