NEW YORK'S OPINION.
HER CoNGRESSMEN REVIEW THE
"SPLENDlD NOTHING" TARIFF.

Payne, Ray and sherman Score the DEM
ocratic Legislation-A Surplus OF Labor
Must Result In Lower wages-The Prices
OF Farm Products Must BE Lower.
The advocates of the new tariff bill
have made two claims in its behalf.
They have asserted that it would great
~ facilitate importations, and that this
would result in reducing the cost of
goods to the consumer. 1t does not re-
quire O prophetic eye to discern that
their claims are the strongest indict-
ments that can be brought against the
"splendid nothing" Here is the logic
in the case: The greater the importa-
ton, the less the demand for home prod
ucts. The less the demand for goods pro-
duced at home, the smaller the amount
manufactured. The smaller the amount
manufactured, the fewer workingmen
required or the less the aggregate paid
by manufacturers.
The more workingmen out of employ
ment the harder the times, and the
harder the times the less money is cir
culated. Therefore what will it profit
the man out of work in this country If
England and France and Germany are
the more prosperous by reason of in
creased expectations, even if as the re-
suit there is a decrease in the cost of
goods at home?

Twenty-fifth District, New York.

1t is difficult to forecast the farreach-
ing effects of the new tariff law. 1t is
certainly to bo hoped that some Of its
disastrous results have been discounted
4 in the past Is months. Ever since Dem
ocratic control of the senate as we'll as
of the house and the executive became
apparent the universal prosperity then
existing has given place to universal
disaster aud distress such as no pen can
describe. This was largely due to the
threatened assault upon American in
dustries. Now that we can see the ex-
tent Of those attacks under the new law
we may at least hope that for the next
Is months distress and disaster will not
be SO universal.
Under the new law it is painfully
evident that wages in many branches Of
Industry must be cut down from 10 to
4 90 per cent, while in other branches the
trainers of tho bill have Numbered into
fair protection. That this cutting down
process will be attended with wide
spread strikes is matter of the most
serious apprehension. Strikes are disas-
troHs though the striking workmen are
in the right They are doubly disastrous
when, as sometimes happens, the work
ingman is in the wrong. There is
abundant reason for the fear that the
strikes in the cotton and pottery indus
tries will be followed by still others.
The mischief of the reduction in
few industries is that wages will go
down in sympathy in other branches of
labor.
For example, if wages are higher in
one industry, those following u less re-
munerative calling will offer their serv-
ices at lower rate, and SO the rates
reach common level. Under tho census
fof 1890 the total wage earnings of our
people reach about $40, 600, 600, 900
year An average reduction of 20 per
cent means loss of 1000, 600, 900 an
nually.
Taking into account the reductions
made in the last 8 months and the fur
Their reductions manufacturers will be
compelled to make under the new bill,
p 30 per cent is low estimate Of the re-
,duction Of wage earnings sure to follow.
Such q reduction would take away one
fifth of the consuming power of our
people, would destroy one-ffth of our
own markets and one-fifteenth Of the
markets of the world. We cannot esti-
mate the loss of our own markets under
this bill. 1t has opened the door to for
'eign importations. Foreign goods will
crowd out the American from our own
markets We cannot see the end, but of
one thing we may rest assured-pros-
.perity will return again only through
Republican success and Republican leg
1slation. SERENo e. PAYNE.

~ The effect of the German Wilson bill
cannot be otherwise than injurious to

PROFITABLE MEETINGS.
Fellowship Meetings at the I3ap-
tisf Church addressed by
Prominent Clergymen

The addresses by speakers from st.
Paul and Minneapolis at the fellowship
meetings of December 4th and 5th were
OF interest to the general public as well
as to those of the Baptist faith, as shown
by the large attendance crowding the
house to it's utmost capacity on both
evenings, with good attendance and in
terest at the day sessions.
Tuesday afternoon RevE. r. Pope, the
superin tendent of Baptist mission work
in the state, spoke on Baptist Unity"
showing the uni ty in effort and purpose
of the 1900 Baptists of the state and
100000 of America with each church
like the one in Sank Centre, and the
strengthening and encouragement in
effort that should come from this unity
in effort and purpose. Tuesday evening
Rev.. w. Conley, pastor Of the First
Baptist church in St. Paul, held the
closest attention while he told what is
a Baptist" Commencing with the BAN
ishment of Roger Williams from Massa-
chusetts for holding Baptist principles
in 1855, and his founding the first Bap-
list church of America at Providence,
Rhode Island, he traced briefly the rise
and progress of the Baptist denomina-
ton until it numbers at the present time
in all it's branches about 4 100000 and
of the particular Baptist faith of which
this church is one there is me mbership
of over 100000. The doctrine of
Roger Williams's first Baptist church of
twelve members was "a regenerated
membership, believers, baptism. religious
liberty and complete separation OF
trinesof the Baptist church founded by
Roger Williams two hundred and fifty
years ago, is that of the millions of Bap-
tlsls OF America to-day. No pope. bish-
op, elder. presbytery or state can exer-
else authority in or over Baptist church
eS.
Following Rev. Conley, Rev. Frank
Peterson of Minneapolis spoke interest
Ingly on Foreign mission work and
the grand fruitagc OF a century of mis-
sions." Wednesday afternoon DR.. O. A.
Williams of Minneapolis spoke Of the
wonderful results of Home Mission
Work in America. E. M. Hulett OF Min
neapolis spoke on Young Peoples Work
and gave blackboard sermon to the
children.
The closing address Wednesday eve
ming was given by Rev. w. H. Geist welt,
pastor ofthe Emmanuel Baptist church
of Minneapolis. His theme was "The
top root of Character, from Christ's
sermon on the mount sho wing that in
morality, integrity and christianity can
alone be found sure foundation for
character that will stand. Four of the
speakers went to Brainerd on Thursday
to give addresses at similar meetings to
be held in the Baptist church at Brain
erd. The singing of Mr.. Geistweit was
a most enjoyable feature OF the meetings
here.

BARBARITY BEYOND BELIEF
Instruments of Torture at Present
Unknown to Exist Except as Rel.
/ les of Dark Ages.

VICTORIA, B. c., Dec. 13.-The report
Of the royal commission appointed to
investigate the provincial insane asylum
at New Westminster was laid before
the legislature. It shows horrible
state of affairs at that institution. Pa
tients were treated with the utmost
cruelty and barbarity, fogging, dark
cells and ice cold water being among
the favorite methods of subjugating re.
fractory patients. A reorganization Of
the staff will be proceeded with imme-
diately.
Some of the Instruments.
A second report Of the commission
contains catalogue and description of
the various instruments of torture that
have been used almost daily in this
10th century institution and which
Superintendent Bregley and his assist
ant refer to as mechanical restraints.
These include handouts, rough steel
anklets, pinion straps. spike studded
steel mits, etc. OF the necessity for
this formidable array of implements,
the like Of which we have never before
seen except in museums, as relics Of
past and barbarous ages. says the re-
port, we are unable to obtain satisfao-
tory evidence at all events as remedial
agents.

MAssACRED IN COLD BLOOD.

Horrible Outrages Committed by the jap
anese Army at Port Arthur.
NEW YORK, Dec. ia special cable
dispatch to The World from Yokohama
says: The Japanese troops entered
Port Arthur on Nov. 10 and massacred
practically the entire population in cold
blood. The. defenseless and unarmed
inhabitants were butchered in their
houses and their bodies were unspeak-
ably mutilated. There was an unre-
strained reign of murder, which con-
tinued for three days. The whole town
was plundered with appalling atroci-
ties. It was the first stain upon Japan
csc civilization. The Japanese in this
instance relapsed into barbarism.
All pretenses that circumstances JUS
tify the atrocities are false. The civil
lied world will be Mortified by the de-
tails. The foreign correspondents, hor-
rified by the spectacle, left the army in
a body.

BANKER CAGES VIEWS
The Chicago Financier Approves Car
isles Plan, But Thinks 1t I'M
practicable at Present.
FIRST THING TO BE DONE.
Issue S250,0O0,OOO Low Rate Bonds
and Allow Banks to Issue Notes
For Full Holdings.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ia letter was
read from Lyman j. Gage, the prom
inent banker and fnancier of Chicago,
at the opening Of the hearing of the
house committee on banking and cur
rency. Mr.. Gage had been invited to
appear before the committee, but as he
was unable to come his views were
briefly summarized by letter.
Referring to the recommendations Of
the president and secretary Of the treas
ury, Mr.. Gage says:
agreeing with the criticisms made
by these officers Of the government as
to the present weakness of our situation
and the great desirability of separating
the government from the direct re-
sponsibility Of currency issues I am
persuaded that the country is not ready
to accept their recommendations as to
the methods proposed. In making any
change the method should be SO
simple that all can comprehend
it and it should be seen
that the incidental effects would not
be in any direction disturbing to trade,
commerce or industry. I believe the
Baltimore plan carries the true principles
of credit currency, but we cannot reach
it by any one step, and years may in.
tervene before it can be realized.
Tho Way to Do It.
In the meantime the way for the gov
eminent to step out of the currency
business and place the burden of re-
demption on the banks is plain.
"Authorize the issue of $3.50, 600, 600
of ~ per cent bonds, payable at such
time as congress may elect Go years
desirable) to be offered to subscribers
at par. Accept in payment United
States legal tender notes or treasury
notes, the same to be cancelled.
"Amend the national bank act SO
that banks can obtain notes Of issue to
the face value of bonds deposited as Sc
curity for circulation. Reduce the tax
on circulating notes to one-half of one
per cent.
'This done, national bank notes
would make good the vacuum caused
by the retirement of government notes.
In fact there would be some expansion
under it, to be followed later by some
contraction through forced redemption
of bank issues if it be true, as some
claim. that the volume Of circulating
media in the United States is larger
than can be maintained and that the
outflow of gold of gold is natures
method of equalizing things"

The Agricultural Department. Has Been
Investigating the Disease.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-With esti.
mated losses Of between 81, 200. 900 and
81, 5OO,O 900 from hog cholera and swine
plague in the United States the discus.
sion of the treatment and means of pre-
vention Of these diseases in bulletin
issued by the agricultural department
is Of great value to the farmers of this
country. The bureau of animal indus
try has been conducting an exhaustive
investigation Of this subject and finds
that the agents which destroy the
germs of one Of these fatal diseases are
also effective in the destruction of the
germs Of the other. Both are spread
by infection and their course varies
from one day to three weeks. Both
are caused by bacteria. The germs of
hog cholera. says the report, are very
hardy and vigorous, while those Of the
swine plague are very delicate and
easily destroyed. The latter are found
to be present in practically all herds OF
swine, but the former must be intro
duced from infected herds.
The Best Remedy.
The most efficient remedy tried by
the governments agents is the follow
ing: Wood, charcoal, sulphur, sodium
sulphate and antimony sulphide, one
pound each; sodium chloride, sodium
bicarbonate and sodium hypo-sulphite,
two pounds each. These are to be
completely pulverized and mixed and a
daily dose Of large tablespoonful for
each 200 pounds weight Of hogs given.
The medicine may be used also as a
preventive of these diseases. It should
be put in the feed Of the whole herd.
To insure successful treatment the ami
mails should be kept in dry and COM
Portable quarters away from drafts Of
air. Five or six months should be al.
lowed to elapse after an outbreak be-
fore new hogs are purchased or any Of
the old herds are sold.
The report recommends Q rigid quar-
antining Of newly bought hogs and the
prevention Of their joining those al
ready on the farm for at least six
weeks. During the warm months of
the year the swine should have plenty
of young grass or clover; crushed or
rolled wheat should be fed to the grow
ing animals.

BUTLER WAS SEEN.

The Iowa Congressman Recognized by an
Acquaintance on . Train.
OELwEIN, Ia, Dec. 1S.-Ex. Congress
man Walter III. Buffers movements
have been traced little further. Word
has been received that he was seen and
recognized by Mr.. Robert Hufschmidt,
postmaster at Lansing, in this state,
on the night following his disappear
ance. Mr.. Hufschmidt, who is an old
friend of Butler. was a passenger
on the northbound Burlington train
and saw Butler going through the train
after leaving East Dubuque, but did not
speak, as Butler appeared to be trying
to avoid recognition. He did not notice
him afterward, as he had not at that
time heard of the ex-congressman's
mysterious leave of absence. The
probabilities are that Butler went
through to St. Paul, as he was not seen
to leave the train.
