A TREMENDOUS OVERLOAD.

The senate democratic confer
rees on the tariff bill are Voor-
hees of Indiana, Harris of Ten
nessee, Vest of Missouri, and
Jones of Arkansas, and their
democratic associates from the
house are Wilson cf West Viz
ginia, Mcmillan of Tennessee,
Turner of Georgia, and Mont
gornery Of Kentucky. These are
the men delegated to arrange a
tariff system that is to affect all
the industries of the United
States.
Taking all these seven states
together, that are represented In
this conference committee, which
is constituted to be the final ar
bitter to determine for the entire
United States their industrial
policy, and consulting the returns
of the last census for statistics as
to their own industrial standing,
we find that their direct interest
in manufacturing pursuits is rep
resented by 47,437 establish
ments with S552,94o,o84 of cap
ital, with 469,935 employees who
receive $2o2, 1872, ,O5I annually IN
wages and turn out product OF
$3.50, 16o, 237.
The state of New York has no
voice in the conference commit
tee. But in the state of New
York alone there were, in 1890,
o5, $40 manufacturing establish
ments. The value of their capi-
tai was 81, ,I3o, 1o1,195, and Of
their output the even greater SUN
of 81, III, 1,577o71. The number
of their employees was $50, ,oS4,
and the sum paid annually i'll
wages was S466, 846, 642. In a
word, the concern of the single
state of New York in the issue
of this tariff controversy is twice
as great as that of all the states
represented by the democratic
members of this conference co1n-
nittee from both senate and
house! And equally unrepre-
sented among the democratic
conferrees are the great nlanufac-
turing states of Massachusetts,,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois.
The legislation of the country
affecting its vital interests, is III
the hands of village, crossroads
and backwoods statesmen. Is
there any wonder that the indus
tries and finances Of the country
are paralyzed? Civilization i'll
the United States has been and
still is forced to carry many
heavy loads, chief of which is

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WAsHINGToN, July 23, 1894.

Growers epistle to the free
traders still holds its own as the
absorbing subject of conversation
now before the Washington pub
lie. It was bad taste and an out
rageous assumption of authority
for Mr.. Cleveland to have writ
ten that letter and it only aggra-
waited the case when he compelled
Mr.. Wilson to read it as a part of
his speech OH the floor of the
house; but there is no denying
that the letter has had. at least
partially, the effect it was in
tended to have. 1t has made it
certain that the house will never
agree to the senate amendments
to the tariff bill, because, as Sen
ator Hill significantly remarked,
such an agreement would merely
result in getting the bill vetoed.
1t has had another effect, how
ever, which it is certain was not
intended by it. 1t has wrought
a sufficient number of democratic
senators to control the senate,
with the help of the solid repub-
lican vote, up to publicly declar-
ing that they would refuse to
vote to accept any conference re-
port that puts upon the free list
any article upon which the sen-
ate amendment placed a duty.
That is just the way the thing
stands at this writing. The
house will not accept the senate
bill, and the senate will not ac-
cept the house bill. Now, the
only change that can take place
must involve the surrender OF
either the house or the senate.
1t can be surlnised, without any
great risk of making a mistake,
that Mr.. Cleveland will be able
to prevent any surrender on the
part of the house, and as the
democratic senators who added
the protection amendments to
the bill did so because of the
pressure from the states they rep
resent, it would seem that they
might be counted upon to stand
firm even if they were not
strengthened by their hatred of
Mr.. Cleveland, not only because
of the insulting manner in which
he has tried to boss his party in
congress aye, and succeeded,
too-fron the day on which he
became president. Still, if there
is a break in the lines on either
side it is believed that it will be
on the part of the senate. The
republicans are playing the part
of onlookers at the contest, but
they are by no means disinter-
ested. On the contrary, they

THE prospect for the farmer
this year is anything else but ell
couraging. Earlier in the season
crops gave promise of an abun-
dant harvest, but the little grain
bug got in his work SO effectually
that at least twenty per cent. OF
the grain, where the pest has
made its appearance, will be lost,
While yet the yield may be fair,
the grower stands in danger of
having his grain graded below

cents less per bushel will be
realized. Besides this, the out
look for market is anything but
fattering. Wheat is worth forty
cents, with no prospect of an i'm
mediate increase in the price.
At present oats can hardly be
disposed of at rs cents per bushel

commodity are unusually gloomy.

are SO much interested that Sena-
tor Aldrich has asked that all un-
paired republican senators be
on hand and to remain within
call until the tariff is in some
way disposed of. The republic
cans wish to accomplish one of
two things-prevent any. tariff
legislation, if that can be done;
otherwise to aid in getting as
many of the senate amendments
as possible in the bill that finally
gets Though.
Mr.. Cleveland's alleged argu-
lnents in favor of the sugar trust
and Of the Whit ey Nova Scotia
coal syndicate, in which all the
world knows the money of his
closest personal friends is heavily
invested, have greatly weakened
his position and added to the
chances for nou-action on the
tariff bill. Everybody knows
that Mr.. Cleveland's friends put
their money into that coal syndi-
cate solely because he assured
them that free coal was a cer-
tainty, and, although it is not
absolutely known, there are ex-
cellent reasons for the belief that
other friends Of his have OBJ
tanned options on certain Cuban
iron mines upon assurances that
iron ore was also to be free.
Did some democratic senators
commit perjury when they swore
that they had never purchased
stock in the sugar trust? The
direct charge has bcei1 made
that they did, and the senate
has reopened the investigation
and is again taking, testimony.
1t is keeping the testimony very
dark, too, members of the COM
1nittee claiming to be afraid that
its publication might result in
preventing the committee from
obtaining important evidence.
1t is runored that at least one
witness has sworn to having seen
written order for the purchase
of sugar stock, which was given
by democratic senator and is
now in existence, and to have
told the committee in whose pos
session it is. The gossip con-
cerning this matter has been very
much eillivened by the statement
that certain parties who had been
snubbed by certain senators pro-
posed to ''get even' by furnish
ing the evidence to make a case
of perjury against one senator in
order that the whole business
might be brought out in court,
There is little doubt i'll Washing
ton that perjury has been com
1ni.ted, but there is very much
as to whether it Will be proven.
If written orders for the pur-
chase of sugar stock are i'll ex-
istellce it is more likely that they
will be used to control senatorial
votes than that they will be pro-
duced before the investigating
committee or in court.
The house on Saturday passed
by the necessary two-thirds vote
the joint resolution providing for
a constitutional amendment for
the election of United States
senators by a direct vote of the
people.

THE COREAN TROUBLE.
Probably the clearest stateune1

Probably the clearest statement
of the causes leading up to the
present difficulty between China
and Japan, that has been pub
1ished, was furnished by Judge
Denny last Saturday to an Ore
gonian correspondent. His six
years in the diplomatic service of
the United States in China, and
as many more spent in the ca
pacity of the confidential adviser
to the king of Corea, afforded
him an opportunity of familiar
izing himself with the conditions
of the several countries involved
in the present trouble, that very
few, if any, have ever enjoyed,
and his statement of the causes
leading up to the present diff
Guilty dissipates many 1nisconcep-
tions that have existed regarding
the complicated situation there.
He confirms the prevalent
opinion that the state department
of this government is, with the
assistance of her British ally,
dominated by the Chinese, and
that in the continual aggressions
made upon Corea by China,
Great Britain has been the power
behind the throne. The main
trouble lies in all attempt of
China to maintain a vassalage
over Corea, in which effort she
has been assisted by agents of
the British government. The
vassaIage dogma, set up in SIS,
by the Chinese, is based upon a
claim of tribute which has been
acknowledged and satisfied for
over two hundred years, yet i'll
doing so, Corea did not abdicate
her sovereignty, but ON the con-
trary she has during the past
twenty years managed her own
domestic affairs, and concluded
treaty arrangements with other
nations, including China herself,
in spite of the latter's attempt to
dictate. BY these acts Corea
exercised the fundamental pre-
rogative of sovereignty, and at
all treaty conventions since 1882
when the American treaty was
signed, the subject of vassalage
was never intiuated by China.
Since that time treaties: were
concluded by Corea with Great
Britain, Germany, Russia, Italy
aud France. She also had treaty
arrangements with Japan and
other western powers. Each
treaty convention pledged its gov
ernment to the preservation of
Coreau self-governlnent and to
lend its good Offices and as
sistance in righting- the wrong,
should any nation act uurjustly
with Corea.
China now claims to be the
sovereign of Corea and attempts
to render rugatory the stipula-
tions of all the Corean treaties.
In doing SO the rights, privileges
and concessions promised by
Corea to Japan and other west
ern nations have been greatly
encroached upon, because of the
intimidating influences brought
to bear upon her by the Chinese
This disregard for treaty stip,la-,
tions. is what Japan is now re-
senting with her invading ar1rEy
she intends to compel tie
Coreans to keep the faith already
pledged. Tie jealousy of China
and Great Britain has been
aroused by the advantageous
treaty arrangements concluded
with Russia and Japan and should
the present trouble terminate in
war between China and Japan
there is every indication that the
; British government will lend its
influence to China's cause.
