NEW LIGHT ON THE TARIFF.

The general debate on the tariff ques-
ton in the house prior to the considera-
tion of the Wilson bill is daily giving to
the public new and valuable light upon
protective and revenue tariffs and
the Republican party can welcome most
cordially the fullest and freest discus
sion of the merits Of both systems. Con-
gresham Dalzell of Pennsylvania in his
eloquent speech yesterday in
the house threw very strong
search light upon the Democratic low
tariff theory that the working men
of this country will do well to consider.
In order to have made the revenue
sought ui.der the proposed Wilson bill
meet the expenses of government our
imports last year would have had to
have been increased to the extent of
hundreds of millions to dollars, We
should have had to pay that
amount to foreign manufactures
in order to meet the expenses
of government and taken away from
our own manufacturers just that
amount of support. And the other ef-
fects of thus increasing our exports that
it would take just that much gold out
of the country to pay for those imports.
"There are" said Mr.. Dalzell, 1.-TWO
subjects essential to be considered in
the framing Of wise tariff law; the
subject Of wages and that of
transportation under existing condi-
tions. Human labor, the elemental
factor in all civilization is the factor
that this bill will strike down."
The workingmen of the nation have
awakened to the realization of this fact,
as their written protests pouring into
congress opposing this bill from every
section of our land testi6es.

A NOBLE AND GENEROUS GIFT.

In times like the present when hund-
reds of thousands are idle, when thou
sands are crying for the bread OF charity
and when many are asking If God has
not forsaken His people that He permits
such distress and suffering to come
upon nation, it is with sigh Of relief
and feeling of hopefulness and cheer
that one learns of such noble
gift to those less fortunate as that of
Olney Arnold's of Pawtucket, and the
spirit that prompted the giving sends a
warm feeling of gladness through the
hearts that are rejoicing to see that the
world is not as selfish as is often
thought, and that there are among us
noble hearted men and women who, out
OF their abundance give freely to those
less favored of fortune. Gen. Arnold's
case is not an exceptional one, though
it is more rare than one could wish.
There are many among us who can not
give so largely. but who are yet giving
in proportion their full share to the poor.
There are several hundred men in this
state well able to equal General Arnold's
magnificent gift, who have, so far as the
public are aware. failed to recognize
their obligations to their fellow man.
Yet THE News learned today of one
well known firm in this city, large en-
ployer of men which the day before yes
terday sent its check for $500 to be dis
tributed among the poor at Olneyville.
1t gave in secret and The NEWS will
respect its wish to remain unknown, but
as these evidence of the prevalence
among us of the brotherhood of man are
multiplying one cannot help thinkingtbat
this old world is not as bad as it is
painted, and that men stand with will
ing hands and generous hearts ready to
respond to the cry of distress and the
wall of despair. 1t is the bright spot in
the darkness that cheers the world on
and revives the tagging courage Of
those weary and worn with constant
buffeting with adverse fortune.

Tom Johnson's bitter arraignment of
the Wilson Tariff bill on the floor of the
house yesterday was startling surprise
to his fellow Democrats, although he
has been known as an opponent of the
measure.
Coming as he does from wool-grow-
ing section, it was expected that his
opposition would take the form of
denouncing the free wool schedule, but
ON the contrary he denounced the
bill because it was not more
in accord with the pledges of the Chi
cago platform. He accused congress
and President Cleveland of wasting
time in the distribution of patronage
and the spoils of the victCrs rather than
in actively setting at the work they had
pledged the people to undertake, and
his burning words of reprpach must
have made the sluggish blood course a
triAe faster through the veins of
the president. "Who shall sell
stamps at Stringtown Crossroads and
who shall play ambassador at the court
of Italy have been settled, but tie
burning question of the tariff is still at
sea and in the dark"
He rebuked the administration for its
lack Of decision in neither securing nor
compelling quorum for DAYS when
quorum was actually present
in the house and condemned the
bill for its protection of the big trusts.
1--WE went before this country" he
said, in 1892 asserting that the ex-
isting tariff was wrong in principle and
unjust in operation and pledging
ourselves to abolish il if the American
people gave us the authority. They did
give us the authority and then our
haste TO repeal oppressive taxes
subsidized and instead of flying at the
throats of the protected barons aud
robber trusts, the great Democratic
party began, as 1t were, to 'wag its tail
and look for crumbs"
Mr.. johnson has sized his party up
about right. IL is is grand party TO
howl about wrongs and injustices anl
iniquitious tariff taxes, but given every
opportunity 10 redeem those wrongs and
wipe out the tariff, it contents itself
with devising n measure that neither
gives 1t opportunity to put in practice
the free trade principles II
has so persistently advocated
nor affords any protection 10 the
great industries 1t has attempted 10 de-
stroy. IL can criticsss but cannot
remedy. IL can find fault but IL cannot
govern. II can tear down but not build
up. II is successful only in turning

SIGNIFICANT.

At recent meeting of the Manches-
ter On. H) Board of Trade, purely
non-partisan BODY Of local business men
protest against the Wilson bill was
presented voicing the sentiments OF in
dustries representing $4,000, 900 OF cap
ital. 1t was decided to send commit
tee of three citizens to Washington
to protest against "this tariff
for starvation" as it was aptly termed
at the meeting, and yesterday Hon.
Byron Chandler and Mr.. William
Corey were appointed as two of the
members to convey the protest to con-
gress.
Who are these two gentlemen?

Hardly. Messrs. Chandler and Corey

Gratis of the state of New Hampshire

WILSON WEAKENS.

Mr.. Wilson has, according to the
morning news from Washington, exhib-
tied the first signs of weakening, by
bending before the popular outcry and
making his first concession. The income
tax bill will be sent to congress as
a separate and distinct measure and not
as q part of the tariff bill. He
has yielded because he has recog-
nized that to insist on having it go be.
fore the house as part of the tariff bill
was to jeopardize the passage of his
tariff bill, and he already recognizes
that the tariff bill has enemies enough
of its own to encounter without burden
ing it with the enemies Of detested in
come tax.

Yesterday it bolted up the senate
chamber and swore that no statesman Of
Republican faith should enter therein
and the aid Of force had to be invoked
before the Republicans. who are right
fully entitled to possession, could effect
an entrance.
The history of New Jersey Democrats
has been a shameful one, and their latest
act of lawlessness only sinks them deeper
into the contempt they deserve. Hitherto
they have kept beyond the clutch OF the
law; few more outrages like that OF
yesterday will land some Of the ring

THE BRISTOL DEPOT.

At the annual meeting of the Board OF
Trade yesterday afternoon the chief
topic for discussion was the proposed
new Bristol depot There were many
eloquent speakers present and they
presented the views of the people Of
Warren g. Bristol in forcible and elo-
quent terms. II would hardly seem
as though there was any necessity
for doing more than call attention
to the necessity that exists. That 1T
should take eight years of constant and
unfagging urging TO secure even the
hope that now appears of securing the
coveted end seems incredible. The city
of Providence needs the new depot fully
as much us do the PEOPLE of Warren and
Bristol. Every business interest in the
city is affected by it. The hundreds of
thousands of passengers annuallybrought
into the city of Providence over this line
bring trade and business to our city.
Yet that trade is limited and hindered
by the fact of the remote location of the
miserable hut called by courtesy depot.
The various corporations that have at
times owned this read, have pledged
time and again to give this matter their
attention, but it has never amounted to
more than pledge made only to be brok-
en-, because of the shifting ownership of
the road. The Consolidated railroad has
now become the inheritor both Of the road
and the pledges. 1t is as much bound
to carry out these pledges as it is to
maintain the roadbed. 1t has duty to
its patrons and it should consult their
needs and their wishes. 1t has obtained
much from the city Of Providence and
it has no better paying section in its en-
tire system than the Bristol and War
rem road. 1t should recognize these
facts and at once grant the
very reasonable demands made
upon it. The passengers of the
Bristol road are entitled to be landed
near Market square and to have depot
at least as near the centre of the city as
Crawford street. To grant this demand
no extra legislation is required and no
great expense will be necessitated. To-
night President Clark of the Consolidat-
ed road will be the guest of the Rhode
Island Business Mems association
by special request in order that
this question may be placed
before him in its proper
light by the representatives of the busi-
ness interests of the city and of the state.
1t is a public improvement demanded
by the business men of this city, and by
thousands upon thousands Of people who
daily make business and pleasure trips
to this city from along the route Of the
the Bristol road.
1t is a mere matter of the redemption
of pledges given. aud there ought not
to linger the slightest doubt
that the president Of the Consolidated
will in good faith keep those pledges and
grant the reasonable demands of so
large and so influential tributary to
the great road of which he is the official
head

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING.


N. " Press.
Professor Wilson asserts that in his be-
lief the benefits from free wool alone
would justify the passage of the free trade
measure which bears his name. What
those "benefits" are Mr.. Burrows showed
in his speech yesterday. They involve,
first and foremost, the sacrifice of about
47,OOO 900 sheep, in which 10000 Ameri-
can farmers have invested S100,OO0,OOO. 1t
is no wonder that the Democratic wool
growers of Texas are petitioning the elo-
quent Michigan Republican leader to do
his utmost against free wool and save their
property from confiscation.

All Three Democratic Propositions.
Boston Herald.

There are three dangerous rocks in the
channel OF currency legislation, and the
Democrats, being responsible for the ac-
tion of both houses of congress, must in
some way manage TO steer clear OF them
ell, or the party will run grave risk OF a
shipwreck i'm the congressional elections
next fall One OF these perils Is the pro-
ject for the repeal OF the tax on
the notes OF state banks.
Another is the proposal TO coin the
seieniorage on the silver bullion held by
the government, scheme which has
come to the surface again In connection
with the deficiency OF the revenue. The
third peril lies on the passive side OF the
channel through the unwillingness OF a
number of silverite Democrats TO make
proper provision for strengthening the
gold reserve and meeting the requirements
of the treasury.
