The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1894-02-03

Representative Bourke Cockran, OF
New York, was charged by his demo-
cratic colleague from the same state,
Amos Cummings, with having, as the
attorney for clique of diamond
importers, used his position as mem
Der Of the Ways and Means committee
TO get that committee to recommend
an amendment to the tariff bill, reduc
ing the duty on diamonds to 10 pei
cent. That charge, which was backed
by documentary evidence, and the
shaming which republicans gave the
democrats for desiring to lower the
tariff on diamonds in behalf of the
toiling masses, resulted in the defeat
of the committee amendment and the
adoption of one making the duty 80
per cent.
The most unique tariff protest yet
seen was that presented by Senator
Cullom, signed by 50 citizens of
Stfeeter, ILL.,, and reading es follows
We cannot feed, clothe and educate
our families and compete against the
poorer paid labor of Europe. We are
proud and don't want to be humil-
ated by asking tor charity. How
would any of you like to 60 to soup
! house and sit down to free soup2 We
have pride as well as you. We ask
you to defeat the Wilson bill, and we
will take care of ourselves.
For some reason the free trade
democrats who have stood together
for free coal free iron, and numerous
other free things, split up on the vote
on Breckenridge amendment -
Breckenridge favors numerous free
things as the country doubtless remem.
Disappointing for putting tin plate
on the free list and that amendment was
defeated, leaving a duty of 5 cents
per pound on tin plate, just hall OF the
Mckinley duty. The most significant
feature of the tin plate debate was the
admission of democrats that the pro-
lection afforded to American tin plate
by the Mckinley law had resulted in
building up new American industry
of large proportions.
The selection of Senator Mills to
take the place on the Senate Finance
committee of Senator Mcpherson, of
N. J. who has gone away in pre-
tended huff because Of alleged bad
health, is only part of the adminljtr
alton programme to force the Cleve-
land tariff bill through the Senate.
Mcpherson is warm personal friend
Of Mr.. Cleveland, but his interests are
such that he is opposed to the tariff
bill, SO he concluded to straddle the
question by going away and remaining
away until the fate of the bill is settled.
Mills can be depend ed upon to obey
orders.

the difference in cost of constructing
this extension Beyond this, it is
claimed the B. & o. has no interest
in the Elkton and Southern.
Nor have we any more definite
information as tC the intention o.
the Pennsylvania Company to con-
struct at an early day the proposed
Elkton, Middletown and Masseys
branch. We are frank to say, that il
we had this information we would
favor that road, as soonest attainable
The fact is, in our opinion, both
branches are at present only pro-
jected on paper, and opinions take
shape as personal interests dictate.
We hope to see one or the other
of these roads finally built, and have
no interest to serve in opposing any
railroad corporation that will soonest
accomplish the needed local improve
ment.

THE ITEMS INVOLVED.

Both the conferences, it is understood
were held at the instance of the Gov
ernor. who is satisfied aud greatly
relieved by the result of Tuesday night
work at Rsnuert's. He invited Senator
Hayes to the meeting and when all she
points in the controversy had been SCI
tied asked him to frame the compromise
bill in accordance with the agreement.
The items involved may be recapituIated
as follows: Valuations of personally are
to be made by the assessors aud rot by
the owners; bonds to be taxed in the
hands of the holders and not by corpora
tions issuing them; the bond scaling fea-
ture is dropped; the jail feature is drop
ped; the special law in regard to savings
banks will not be interlered with; there
will be no interfering with the State tax
commissioner in performing duties now
imposed upon him by law; tunnels will
be taxed according to actual value, as
other property is assessed; provision
for quaGrennial reyaluations By boards
OF control aud review to be appointed
by the Governor.

EXTREME LEGISLATION DEPRECATED,

message he urged 4 system of taxation
which will ascertain approximately the
amount of personal property owned by
each individual residing in the State
without exciting hostility to our methods
In framing such measure he was solicit
GUS that due regard should be given to
the condition OF the business interests,
agricultural and commercial, OF the
State at large and of the city of Baltimore
He deprecated extreme legislation as
dangerous and declared that on the other
hand, conservative legislation produces
as rule, better results and is more
acceptable to the people of conservative
State like Maryland, than harsh and dras
tic measures. He expressed the fear also
that an extreme inquisitorisl tax meas
ure would have the effect of contracting
the money capital of the State and check
ing development. He has not changed
his opinion on any Of these matters, and
says he is satisfied to see in the Legis

THE LOCAL RAILROAD QUESTION

Because the WING desires to see
the property owners of the First and
Second districts of this county realize
the local benefits of railroad as
soon as possible. it favors the con-
struction of the road that will first
give them the desired accommodation.
Without any desire or intention to
provoke a controversy with our
contemporary the Cecil Democrat,
we think it overlooked in its editor
lal of last week, the important action
taken at the recent meeting OF the
lncorporators of the Elkton and
Middletown Company, in asking a
change in its corporate name with a
view to the construction OF a road
from Elkton directly to Massey's.
We take 1t for granted that the
property owners of the lower district
are not partizans either of the Penn
sylvania or Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Companies. That they
will be glad to have either of these
corporations build road south from
Elkton. Nor do we know from
definite information how far either
of these corporations is committed
to, or has promised to construct the
branch roads. 1t has been declared
in general way that the B. & O.
Railroad will, if the $4,000 be
transferred to the Elkton and
Southern, build the road. But no
one seems to know upon what
authority this statement is made.
As an Offset to this, it is quite as
generally stated that the B. & o. is
not interested in the Elkton and
Southern, but is willing to extend
the Oxford and Southern from
Childs to Elkton. That the cost OF
this extension would be about 500,
900. OF which only $4,000 would

a TARIFF POINTER.

The Republicans OF the Fourteenth
Congressional District of New York
City, won big victory on Tuesday,
by the election Of Lemuel E. Ouigg,
a brilliant writer of the Tribune, as
member OF Congress by 1874 plurality
over Col. William L. Brown, the
Democratic candidate. More than
usual interest conferred in the contest
because the debate in the campaign
was confined exclusively to the tariff
question. In the same district in
1892, Col. Fellows, the Democratic
candidate, had a plurality of SS25
over the Republican candidate, the
present result showing that there has
been tremendous change in the
political sentiment of this district.
Outside of the political significance
of this result, it is interesting to know
that Mr.. Quigg, the Republican
member-elect of Congress, is son
of the Rev. ]. B. Qulgg of the
~ ilmington N E. Conference.

unity attending the action is good
ground fer surprising that alreaoy. in
advance, something like cartel Of
agreement has baeu decided upon.
Senator Hayes, in presenting the resolu
ton asking for joint SESSIONS of the
House and Senate assessment COM
mittees, said: am prompted to offer
the message because believe tho time
reach conclusion which will give to the
State an assessment law " hch in its
every part both as to the revenue feature
and machinery part, will be effective III

which has been SO much desired. The
outcome of the deliberations of these

DECISIVE CONFERENCE.
1t is we'll known tina; negotiations have
been going on for some time past to har.
monte disagreeiBg elements in the demo
cratic party on the subject of the assess
ment bill, and that they ali fully apprec-
lated the gravity of the situation. Two
conferences were held by the leaders of
the party, the latest ard decisive one
being at Rennert's Hotel, which was
attended by Senator German, Governor
Brown, Mr.. r .sin, Mr.. Hayes and others
In this meeting the whole situation was
gone over carefully and without any
friction. Conclusions were reached har.
moniously. This was in effect that
Senator Hayes is to modify his bill. Il
was settled that the listing syste N
should be changed SO as to require
assessors to do the valuing. QIadrer-
NAL retaliation is provided for, nos by
the county commissioners, as heretofore
propose1 in the Hayes bill, but by
boards of control and regeiw TO be
appointed when the time comes The
tunnel taxiog features are to bs retained
just as they are in the Hayes bill, as we'll
as the taxing of rolling stock and other
features, except corporation bonds. l.
was agreed that these should be taxed
in the hands OF the holders, as provided
by the Field bill. and not to compel the
corporations issuing the bonds to pay
the taxes. The work of recasting his
bill on the proposed model was under
taken by Senator Hayes at the sugges-
ton of the conference, aud lie will FORK
night aud day with Ills usual application
in order to accomplish it speedily Air.
Hayes shows spirit of concession and
desire to be fair i'll dealing with the
whole matter.
