Favoring the Measure

WASHINGTON, April g. In reporting
the tariff bill TO the senate Mr.. V oTnees
(dem., Ind. }, chairman OF the senate COM
mlttee on finance, addressed the senate
IN prepared speech of several hours
duration. He challenged the attention
OF tine senate and the country to the fact
that by the provisions of this bill the
seeming paradox of a reduction of taxes
ana at the same time an increase of pub
nc -evenues will be reconciled whe~ it
becomes law The reductions, he

Safe Reform.

Passing to a general discussion of tariff
questions, Mr.. Voorhees, said:
"The most needed feature of tariff tax
aticn is permanency, at reasonable rates
for revenue, aud with a due regard to the
business and commerce of the country.
The Mckinley law was necessarily an
unstable, unsafe measure; it was reck-
less, foolhardy experiment on the for
bearance of the American people. Our
purpose is to replace the law of 1890 with
II measure of reform, safe, conservative,
and harmonious in itself and to which
all the wholesome and legitimate indus
tries of the country will speedily adapt
themselves and tenaciously cling for Sc
cure development and unlisturbed
growth in the future. If this can be done
without needless delay, an era Of prosper
ity will dawn upon all the diversified in
teress of the country such as has never
been surpassed in our history"

Wages of Workinsmen.

He said he stood there to deny that it
can be shown any where since the repub-
lican party came into power thirty-thr rec
years ago, that the wages of working
man or woman, in furnace factory, or
de.viug mine, had ever kept pace with
increased tariff rates, or indeed had anv
increase at all, on account of high pro
tective tariff legislation. What the
wage-worker wants and of right should
have, is not the false promise and false
pretense of manufacturers pleading in
his name for their own enrichment, bu
the solid protection of law against the in
stability OF his contracts, the uncertain
duration Of his employment, and the
huctuating rates of his wa ges
Mr.. Voorhees, defended the ad valorem
duties as against the specific tax, and he
discussed at length the Walker tar If and
its effects, and then came down to a
closer view o. the details of the pendin,
bill. He declared that on the subject of
sugar the Mckinley law was a iuygle
and fraud, and was intended as such.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1894-04-05
Sugar Duty.

Absolute free trade in sugar IS an at
tractive theme, but no such thing has
ever existed for a single hour since tie
organization Of this governments Amod-
crate duty has always been impos ID on
sugar, and it has always been a stauncb
revenue support to the government. The
fact that the duty tax on sugar has en-
ured more to the benefit of the revenues
of the government and less to the Profits
of private parties than any other tax
known to tariff legislation may be stated
as the main reason why the democratic
party has never made an issue against II
1t is concede by all parties that the duty
paid on imported sugar goes more fairly
and squarely into the treasury than any
other duty provided by law, and it fol-
lows, as light follows darkn, ,ss, that tar
if taxation can therefore be reduced in
proportion on other things which the
people have to buy and use"
Mr. Voorhees, referred to the reciprocity
clause of the Mckinley law as an un-
paralleled and clearly unconstitutional
piece of legislation.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1894-04-05

AID, the imposing fact that the bill
provides for u full and ample revenue
largely in excess of present supplies,
with which To meet all the require
ments of the public credit.

course, be alleged and pointed out; con-
cess ons are apparent which have been

made dutiable under the duress of u

sret the necessity for these changes, and
earnestly as l opposed them, | do not
hesitate to say that the bill, taken as
whole as 1t now stands, with its com
blnation of lower taxes on the neces-
sar.rs OF lie, and at the same time in

form and relief by the great producing

Frankfort, with letters from engineers and

better results, the cost of operation being
so far below that of electrical or horse

the Liebrig patents have been acquired by

The President and Cabinet Hold m
Late Session

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Secretaries
Gresham, Lamont and Smith and Postmas-
ter-general Bissell were in conference with
the President at the White House this
el ening. The tariff situation was reviewed,
sion was reached. Secretary Carlisle was
at the White House late in the evening
Immediately after the adjournment Of the
Senate, to-day, there was conference OF
the Democratic leaders of that body in
the room of the committee on appropria-
tions. Among those present were Senators
German. Brice, Cockrell. Harris, Ransom
and Blackburn, comprising most Of the
Democratic steering committee. The Sem
atCrS had a long talk, and when they de-
parted no conclusion had been reached as
TO the best way out Of the present delicate
position in which the ma jority finds itself.
The proposition for caucus was dis
cussed, and some of the Senators thought
IL would be wise to have a general confer
ence of Democratic Senators before any
steps were taken or vote had on any OF
the pending propositions. The matter OF
calling a caucus was left for further con-
sideration, and will, no doubt, be discussed
among other Senators and their views ascer-
tanned as to the advisabiity of taking such
action. 1t is understood that a number OF
Senators desire TO say something on the
subject of the tariff conference report and
wish to express themselves publicly before
any definite steps be taken for the dis
posal of the bill or sending IL back 10 con-
Ference. Senator Villas will insist on his
motion striking out the one-eighth OF l
cent differential on sugar, and several Sen
ators will hold that il is incompetent to
instruct the conferees 10 recede from any
portion Of an amendment as though ii were
made that the conferees can be instructed
on any item by the Senate.
