The Tariff and 1896.

Gov. McKinley's Republican foes
are perhaps correct i'll saying that
the Mckinley tariff will no. be in.
dorsed by the Republican National
Convention of 1896 The situation
has changed since that measure was
framed four years ago, and it would
be strange, indeed, if any bill passed
at that time should be in all respects
suitable to the conditions of to day.
Still less could it meet all the re.
qulrements two year hence. The
best measure Of this sort which
could be devised by the brain of
man would need some revision every
few years, and the Mckinley law
was, in some respects, even for the
time Of its passage, far from being
model for future trainers of legis.
lation in this field, as its autho,
doubtless would have acknowledged

Washington, D c., June 29-'.I
am much gratihed," said Speaker
Crisp to representative OF the press,
''at the expeditions and satisfactory
manner in which the present House
OF Representatives has dispatched
its public business. We have been
singularly free from exasperating De
lays" said the Speaker, land the
great questions of tariff and finance
have been acted upon with promp.
ness considering the vast interests
involved, And yet there has been
no curtailment of reasonable debate
and l have heard ,ery little com
plant or critism on that score. On
the other hand, flibustering is
practically thing of the past and
the House experienced little delay"
Asked to enumerate the leading
measures passed by the House thus
far, he said: The tariff bill natur-
ally comes first. It's passage by the
House was attended by few delays.
The extra session permitted the
organization of committees. so that
the ways and means committee was
we'll along on its work before the
date when Congress was usually as
sembled, and the bill actually pre-
sentei early in January, when, as
usual, the committees are Just be-
ginning to organize. Iu the debate
also there was no wasting of time,
and I think Chairman Wilson sue,
ceeded in satisfying both sides of
the House that he desired to be fair
and yet to satisfy the wishes of the
people,so that bills could be brought
to vote.
''In the financial question Also"
he continued, I'VE have avoided ir-
ritating delays. When the business
depression of last summer brought
on the wide spread public demand
for repeal of the purchase clause of
the Sherman act. the House met in
extraordinary session aud quickly
performed its part on the repeal, for
which President Cleveland had Of
ticially convened Congress. Those
opposing the repeal recognized the
propriety of allowing the House to
reach vote without delay, aud an
agreement to that effect was made
and executed
Another measure of great import.
snce passed by the house was the
repeal of the federal election laws
enacted during the reconstruction
period. Three new states-Arizona,
New Mexico and Utah-have been
admitted to the Union as FAR as the
house can accomplish that end, and
it remains only for the senate to
complete the Legislative work The
appropriations bills have all been
passed by the house and most of the
more important ones were passed in
an unusually early stage of the ses
sion. 1t remains for the senate to
complete the work on these bills.
"Altogether," added the speaker,
sit is a record of work done quickly
which must prove satisfactory to the
house and to the public, and it does
to myself"

ST. PAUL, MINI, April 29.-Buslness

situation is unchanged from last night,
although there have been come inter.
esting developments.
The proposition Of the commercial
bodies OF the two cities for submission

cussed, being the chief topic ut tho

men. urging then to accept tho new
proposition for arbitration. Their
suGgeations were fairly hooted down.
At the same hour OF day, that, in an-
other part OF tho city, President Hill
was telling aome business men he
would agree to any fair propositions for
arbitration on the sole condition thu.
the men resume work at once, this
samo proposal was being hissed by the
strikers and their friends at tho Labor
hall meeting.
Mr.. Hill explained that he could not
fight and arbitratc both at tho same
timo, and therefore mado this one con-
dition OF immediate resumption OF work
in case arbitration was agreed upon.
So far as any official action OF the
union is concerned tho proposition for
arbitration has been aTain rejected and

last night-demanding their last wears
pay and admitting tho possibility OF no
compromise.

Secretary Carlisle srnkcs n Statement Re-
Enrding the Part Ho Has Taken.


Enrdng the Part Hc Has Takcn,
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 29.-Secre.
tary Of the Treasury Carlisle has
authorized tho following statement in
reply to an inquiry by an Associated
Press representative as to whether it
were true that he had taken part in the
conference which it has been said were
being held for the purpose OF agreeing
upon certain amendments to the pend
ing tariff bill.
II have had no conferenc e>upon this
subject with any body except the Dem
ocratic members OF the senate commit
tee on finance, and therefore cannot
state Of my own personal knowledge
what has occurred in any other confer
ences that may have taken place. It is
true that an effort is being made to
agree upon such change in tho pending
bill as will secure for it the united and
active support OF NIL tho Democrats in
tho senate. The indications now are
that the support will be secured
without making radical changes
in the rates OF duty or material
alterations in the former structure of
the tariff schedules as they were passed
by the house of representatives. In
fact regard most OF the changes now
under consideration as quite unimpor-
tant.
$50 far as tho proposed amendments
rotate to duties upon important articles
OF consumption now subject to duty,
the rates suggested as tho basis for ad-
iustmcnt are all much lower than in the
present law, while there are only few
instances in which they are higher than
in the bill reported by the senate COM
mittec." After reference TO the sugar
schedule, he says:
IN my opinion, many OF tho OBJ
jectionable provisions OF the income
tax ought to be aud can DO safely
omitted from the bill and other changes
can bo made, which the advocates OF an
income tax can consistently accept"

DEs AloryEs, Iowa, April 29.-Des
Moinos is in state OF excitement to-
night over the arrival OF Kelly's indua-
trial army. The men marched twenty
seven miles last night without food and
were held by the police five miles out of
the city in driving rain storm all day
with no provisions or shelter. Tho ac-
tion OF tho authorities aroused much
indignation among tho laboring people,
and when at o'clock this evening the
army finally marched up Grand avenue
to tho camp on the east side OF the
town wet, haggard and weary, their
pitiable condition aroused sympathy
almost as great as that which was theirs
in Council Bluffs.
A mass meeting OF laboring men has
been called for tomorrow. Commit
tees are at work soliciting food and
money, and threats are made that, un-
less trans portation is secured at Chi
cago, radical steps will be taken. Dur
ing the last twenty.iour hours the army

The start from Van Meter was made
last night in heavy storm, and when
day dawncd the column was still9ttecn

men, wet and hungry, plodded along,

before noon. The men struggled in dur.

Mayor Hills had sont thirty police
men and the sheriff as many deputies
to meet them and inform them that
they would have to pass on through
Des Moincs to deserted stove factory,
where ample food aud shelter were pro.
vided. This Kelly fatty refused to do,
saying that his men must be fed before
they marched tho additional miles.
The officers were obdurate, and tho
