annual message:
And their safety and interest require that
they should promote such manufactures as
tend to render them Independent for essential

He it was, too, who approved the
first tariff act. which set forth that:
Whereas 1t is necessary for the support OF
the government. for the discharge OF the debts
of tho United States and the encouragement
and protection Of manufactures that duties be
laid on goods, wares and merchandise i'm

In that congress there were present
when the act was passed fifteen of the
thirty-nine signers of the constitution
of the United States.
jefferson said in 1916:
Experience has taught mo that manufac-
lures are now as necessary to our independence
as to our comfort"
Madison said:
There may be some manufactures which be-
ing once formed can advance toward perfection
without any adventitlous aid, while others for
want OF the fostering hand Of government will
be unable to go on at ALL"
Gen. Andrew Jackson said:
"In short. sir We have been too long subject
to the policy OF the British merchants. 1t Is
time we should become q little more Amer

we shall all be paupers ourselves"

SUGAR IN. THE SENATE.

Debate Begun. On This Bnl-SsaateP
Vests Bitter Attack On the Presidsat.
WARRINGTON, Aug. 17.-For five
hours Wednesday afternoon tho senate
debated the question Of proceed
ing Immediately to tho consid-
Grafton Of the house bill plac-
ing sugar, raw and refined, ON
the free list. Secretary Carlisle's
letter stating that the free entry of
sugar would deprive the treasury dur
ing the next fiscal year Of $4S,000, 900
revenue and cause . deficit of $50, ,O00,-
600, which was resd in the senate, was
mad the justification of Senator Har-
ris' motion to refer the bill to the COM
mittee on finance.
Senator Vest spoke on the motion to
refer the free sugar and other bills to
the finance committee. He said it
meant the death of the bills, as the
committee was now politically q
tie. with the prospect of the dis
appearance of quorum within
q few days. He declared the po-
sition OF the senate ON the tariff
had been vindicated by the letter of
Secretary Carlisle, which proved con-
clusively that if the house bill had
been enacted it would have caused q
deficiency of $50, ,0OO,O 900. He argued
that the power acquired by the sugar
trust was the result of its fostering by
the provisions of the Mckinley law.
''And yet, said Senator Vest, with bit
terness, 'they call us the creatures of
the sugar trust" The senator paused
for a moment and then, with intense
earnestness, added: Liars, slanderers,
infamous libelers."
Senator Vest then bitterly attacked
the president for his severe criticism
on the action of the senate, claiming
that in SO doing he acted in any
thing but good faith, having assured
those who had given ''almost their
lives in the preparation of this bill"
that he was satisfied with its provis-
ions. In concluding Senator Vest
said:
'Sir, when any man living accuses me OF per-
sonal motives In what have done In connec-
tion with this blll-but my connection with II
is now ended-I simply answer him rs Marmion
to Douglas:
Lord Angus. thou hast lied"
Senator Mills (Tex.) took the floor
and spoke long and eloquently in de-
tense of President Cleveland He said:
II regret to see my friend attack the presi-
dent Of tho United States and the leader of
our party. I believe he is honest; I be-
lIeve he is trying to carry out the will
OF 100000 democratic voters. The let
ter OF Secretary Carlisle Is no condemna-
tion Of the presidents letter to Mr.. Wilson.
The presidents letter to Mr.. Wilson was writ
ten because We departed from the democratic
principles OF free raw materials. The presi-
dent wanted to give employment to the idle
people Of the United States.
I'VE do not accept this as the final settle
ment OF the tarin. We intend to continue the
crusade Of tarin reform until the people ore no
longer ground down by burdens which are
made to enrich the few"

His Dastardly Crime.
LYONS, Aug. 17.-Casario Santo, the
assassin of President Carnot, was exc
cuted at 4:55 this (Thursday) morning.
The news of the decision to execute
Santo in the early morning spread rap
idly, notwithstanding the efforts of
the officials to keep it secret.
Santo trembled violently when
awakened and told to prepare for ex-
ecution. He declined both food
and drink and refused to see
either the priest or his coun-
sci. AS he with difficult
ty walked from the wagon to the gang
way of the guillotine he uttered the
cries, in a voice scarcely audible:
Courage. mes comrades!!'' "Vive
rAnarchie"'
The words were scarcely uttered
when Santo was seized and pushed
toward the bascule. He was securely
fixed in position, offering feeble re-
sistance, and Diebler, the executioner,
pressed the handle The knife shot
downward, the head of Santo rolled
into the basket of sawdust ready to
receive it, and Carnot's murder was
avenged

that there is no hope Of relief until

supreme issue before the country. Voters are
urged to make this issue paramount to all

The Psrversisy lGaaifssesa ~ ~ Ds0e-
cratic ssaaes.
Day by day it is becoming moro and
more apparent that the democratic
party Is swinging back into tho free
trade principles it aroused before tho
rebellion, and which it has 90 loudly
denied for years past. The following
extracts from the Washington Post
show the force Of the drift:
The free trade element in the house
is feeling pretty good over the present
status of the tariff fight, which 10
causing them but little discomfort Of
mind. If the senate persists in its
spirit OF perversity. they soy, and tho
tariff bill fails in conference there 10
still time to formulate . new measure.
According to MIR. Do Witt Warner
(democrat), of New York. they are
making converts among the conserva-
tive element of the house, who are
daily hearing from the people in the
shape of advice to stick to democratic
principles and force the senate to como
to terms. The longer the deadlock
continues" said Mr.. Warner, 1.-The
more the people of the country will
become aroused. and time alone is re-
Quired to teach the senate that it is
hopelessly in the minority in this
fight.
The house has been nearer to q
surrender" he said, than it will ever
be again. Do think that the house
will finally triumph? l do emphatically.
All over the country the county pa
pers-and they represent the people
are coming out editorially against the
position taken by the senate. That
body could not have chosen more in
opportune time to go against the
wishes of the great bulk of the demo-
cratic masses than the present. 1t is
in no position to maintain fight But
if the bill should fail, why congress is
still in session. 1t might not be good
policy for us now to take up new bill
or to pass q series of bills to revise the
tariff. 1t would seem too much like q
desire on our part to add to the COM
plications, but in my opinion this will
be done before tariff reform is aban.
doned. When that time comes the
senate will he called upon to deal with
a measure or with measures, as the
case may be, that will be far more
radical than the Wilson bill.
Representative Champ Clark (dcm.
spoke in the same vein. 1.-The Wilson
bill did not 60 far. enough to suit most
democrats" said Mr.. Clark, but we
thought when we passed that that we
had gone to the limit OF concession.
The action of the senate, if it means
to deadlock proceedings, will leave us
ample time to pass a new bill. There
are seventy-nine free traders in the
house, and it was their work that
made the Wilson bill as liberal as it
is. I'll tell you what could be done
readily-proceed on the Springer plan
and instruct the ways and means COM
mittee to bring in separate bills in the
direction of tariff reform. If this pol
icy had been followed from the start
there would have been none of this
wrangling and the Mckinley bill
would have been reformed just the
same. Something of this sort may
happen yet before congress adiourns' -

THE DEMOCRATIC BADGE.
A Solid Plea for the Furthcrance q
Trust Interests.

President Cleveland's appeal for
'the genuine democratic badge" in
his letter to Chairman Wilson, is al
most mockery of the working men
and farmers of the United States, who
now more generally than ever before
display 1.-THE genuine democratic
badge" every time they remove their
coats, or the wind blows their coat
tails awry. Here is the sentence in
the letter to Chairman Wilson in which
he appeals for the continuation of
''the genuine democratic badge" upon
the seat of the trousers of every farmer,
coal and iron miner, and laboring man
in the north:
1T must be admitted that no tariff measure
can accord with democratic principles or prom
ises and bear the genuine democratic badge
that does not provide for free raw materials"
That sentence was preceded by the
following assertion of the pledges
made by the democratic bosses to the
monopolies and trusts and combines:
I'VE have in our platform and every way
possible declared in favor OF the free importa-
tion OF raw materials. We again and again
promised this should be accorded our people
cratic party was invested with power to deter
milne the tariff policy OF the country The
party now has the power"
He demands that iron and coal be
placed on the free list with "the wool
of the farmer" but that Sin taxing
sugar for proper purposes and within
reasonable bounds, whatever else may
be said of our action, we are in no
danger of running counter to the dem
ocratic principles" That is solid
plea for the sugar trust, of which it is
charged and generally believed that
Grover Cleveland is stockholder! 1t
is plea for free raw materials which
most greatly compete with the prod
ucts of American labor. 1t is plea
for tax to protect the most brazen
monopoly that manufactures foreign
practically non-competing raw ma
terial within the United States! The
president has shown greatly more
courage in behalf of the monopolistic
manufacturers and the trusts and COM
bines than he did in behalf of the gov
ernment during the war of the re-
bellion, but no intelligent person can
read his two letters to Chairman Will
son, read in the house July 10, and be-
iieve that Grover Cleveland is an
honest and patriotic American citizen.
The object of these letters appears to
be mainly desire to increase the pro-
ection and profits of the sugar trust
monopoly.-1owaS State Register.

r. G. DUN & CO.'S OPINION.
Report on the Business Situation In Many
Cities.

Cities.
r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of
trade says:
The new tariff, II signed by the president as
expected provides definite basis for busi-
ness. No supplemental legislation is
thought possible until next year at least.
Large improvement has been expected from
any settlement, the more because OF vast
amount of business deferred from week to
week in the hope Of more definite conditions.
The rush OF such business, or even a part OF II,
might easily double transactions for q time. Il
is not to be overlooked that the enect OF new
duties upon many branches Of industry and
trade is problematical, and mag be deter
mined only after some months Of experience.
and meanwhile the serious injury to corn and
some Of the conditions exercise a restraining
influence 1t is too early to look for effects Of
the new situation in the great industries but
the gradual recovery which has appeared for
some time Is seen In y better demand for
products.
Resumption by iron and steel works which
were stopped by the strikes continues to de-
press prices Of some finished products but
with more furnaces operating prices Of pig
iron are not lower. Comparisons given to-day

sufficiently accounts for the idleness of more
