Htils Amendment to the Tariff Rin De-
feat"d .timost Unanimously.
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The iatlica-
tions pointed to lively day in the sen
ate over the lead schedule of the tariff
bill. Twenty-three minutes were spent
waiting for quorum of senators to ap-
pear. For the first time since Mr..
Harris was placed in charge of the tar
iff bill, he was not in his seat. The de-
lay in securing quarum shut out the
consideration of the Hawaiian resolu-
tion. The paragraphs of the tariff bill
passed over We're taken up The first
was i56, relating to the duty on wheels
of iron or steel, car and locomotive
wheels, etc. The original Jones amend
ment increased the rate in the house
bill from 80 to 40 per cent ad valorem.
Mr.. Vest moved to substitute a specific
rate OF Ia cepts per pound. The Nc
hiniey rate Is 2 1-2 cents per pound.
Mr.. Quay supported the Vest amend
ment as preferable to an ad valorem
duty. 1t WIS agreed to. The lead par
agraph was then taken up, and Mr..
Shoup of Idaho spoke.
HnTs Position.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Shoup's
speech Mr.. Hill took the floor. The
tariff bill, he said, had never met his
views, and did not now, but he was in
favor OF speedy action upon it.
Mr.. Hill in conclusion declared that
he proposed to be consistent to himself
In his advocacy of free raw materials,
and he proposed to place those who
We're not on record. Mr.. Vest in reply
explained that the duty fixed was the
rate of the Mills bill, that the question
OF duty on lead ore was a question be-
tween the miners and the smeIters
representing the lead trust and that as
between the two the committee had dis
criminated in favor of the miners. The
vote on Hills motion to place ores on
the free list was defeated; yeas, 3: NAYS
81. Mills, Hill ann Irby were the only
affirmativeEotes. Murphy voted against
Hills motion.

never been any doubt ON the Republi-

land would be found standing for pro-
lection.

The Strikes.

From one end to the other of u
immense country, and from ocean to
ocean, strikes are going On among the
laborlng classes. There are riots in
some places, and the fire tiend ia en-
pioyed here and there in the work of
resurrection The State and local
authorities are in some places power
iess' and the President has been appeal
9d 70 Tor assistance of the army of the
united States. The conclusion is
forced upon the mind that there il a
ueepiy rooted cause of all these stimuli
Caneous disturbances. The laborinc
classes husnber millions OF hardy men
ana they are dispersed over all this
widely extended country. They are
honest and willing to work. They See
their wages cut down and realize that
what Is offered is not sufficient
satlon-that they cannot support their
Iamllles and educate their children by
iaooring TOR such wages as are offered.
lney attribute their troubles to legisIa-
zion or the absence of it and the rulers
are censured. 1t is to be regretted, but
how are the demands of the strikers to
oe net and their turbulence quieted ?
mat Is the question. Our Congress is
still working on tue tariff question, the
agitation of which has closed the
iaStoiiSs anu the mines IN many States
OF the Union or caused them to work
on half time. The consequence is the
laborers are thrown out of work and
will be kept out for an indefinite time
or compelled to accept greatly reduced
wages. 1t the railroads are not per-
mltted to operate, supplies must soon
begin to fail, and prices for them
increase. The full force of the law
or supply and demand will be felt and
realized, and great suffering will follow
and fortunate will it be for us if we
escape riot and bloodshed.
We do not wish to be looked upon as
alarmlsts, but nevertheless feel con-
strained to speak as we do. The
strikers demand work, but they want it
at prices that will support them and
their families. NatUalIy capitalists
will not pay prices that leave them no
possible profits for their Investments.
And so it goes.
