THE FREE-TRADERs, PURPOSE.

Next to Mr.. Cleveland. Chairman Wilson,
Of the ways and means committee, is the
most conspicuous representative of the con-
trolling element of the Democratic party
In regard to the tariff. In point of capacity
he is the most conspicuous free-trader in
public life. In a letter to the New York
World, recently. Mr.. Wilson said of his
London speech:
The speech which I made on that oc-
casion fhe London speech) was one of the
few which i have carefully written out in
advance, so as to prevent Justification and
garbling, and was, so far as / could make
it, a plain and full statement of the Posts
ton Of the tariff reformers Of the United
States.
That is, in his London speech, he spoke
for the whole body Of free-traders who
masquerade as tariff reformers. His London
speech was carefully prepared" because it
was a declaration of the future policy Of
the free-trade portion of the Democratic
party. After giving a plain statement of
the objects of the present Democratic tariff.
Mr.. Wilson made an equally plain state
ment' Of what the free-traders have in
view for the future, as follows:
Such nave been the results of the con-
test, in which we have been engaged fer
the last ten years. more or less exclusive
ly, in the United States OF America. Such
was the growth and such, L believe, has
been the overthrow Of the protective system
in that country; for while it would be an
exaggeration of language TO say that the
tariff bill which became n law a month
ago, is in itself the overthrow of that sys-
tenn, it marks the first and the most ditTlcuit
stem in fha reVnluti0n which will RI for
ward from this time by its own nnpe. US.
clear, hear) -
The purpose. then, of the Democratic
party is to overthrow the protective sys-
tenn" The present law is not sucn IN c,er-
throw, "but it marks the first and most diff
cult step in the revolution that revolution
being the enactment of a tariff for revenue
only, on the same basis as the tariff Of
Great Britain. He and those for whom he
speaks, who include Bynum and al tie
Democrats from Indiana in the House,
would wipe out every vestige of protection in
ers on the same plane rs the European,
consequently forcing employees to work
fo- the same wages. 1t also is the declara-
ton that the war for a free-trade tariff
is on and will be on until victory ever AMER
lean interests shall come. It means hat a
contention will be made in every democrat
ic Congress for lower and lower duties until
we have such a tariff as the theoretical
free-trader and the foreigner desires. 1t
means constant uncertainty i'm business and
production such as the country has ex-
perienced since the Democratic purpose was
escertained. With such a menace business
cannot revive.
In view of the great interest British man
ufacturers and merchants have in free mar
kets in the United States, it is the mos,
natural thing in the world that these men
so largely benefited should contribute large
sums of money to the Wilson
Democracy to help the cause. They have
probably lone it already.

States had been able to purchase and con-
sumo as much wheat per capita as they did
in 1892 the surplus in this country when the
crop of 1894 came would have been over
100000 bushels less, which would have had
a powerful influence to better prices.

a powerful influence

Many pensioners are so poor and needy
that they are anxious to get their pensions
as soon as they are due. Consequently, in
order to have their vouchers in the pension
agency the first day Of payment, thou
sands at a distance have been in the habit
of signing their vouchers two days in ad-
vance and sending them to the agent.
Hoke Smith does not like this, and so he
had a bill introduced in the last House
which imposed a fine of $500 upon any pen
sioner who should hereafter sign such
voucher in that manner. The bill i'd not
become a law, but who introduced it at the
request of Hoke Smith? Augustus N. Mar
tin. of the Eleventh district. who is again
asking the votes of veterans.

Bayard's first declaration on returning to
the United States was that the tariff war
on American industries must be kept up.
His second public u~tterance. being a
speech at a welcome reception given hin
in Wilmington on Tuesday night, was
chiefly in praise of the kind treatment he
had received in England and of the cordial
friendship which Englishmen have for the
United States. Everywhere" he said.
81 found the name of an American was re-
ceived with honor and with favor such as
1 believe has been extended to no other
people han ourselves" and this feeling,
he said. extended from the beneficent, the
benign, the venerable lady whose virtues
so illustrate the happy reign over a con-
tented people, through the officials down
into the very heart of the people in the
mass" There was a good deal more Of
this sort of gush, but this will suffice.
1t is evident that Mr.. Bayard has come
home to "whoop up the cause Of free
trade and fire the American heart with
admiration for England and Englishmen.
His head has been turned by the atten-
tons bestowed upon him as an avowed adj
vocate Of free trade. n he has essayed
the unpatriotic task of convincing the
American people that they ought to sacri-
fee their own interests to those of their
great, and good, and disinterested friend
John Bull. From present indications the
people are not likely to be convinced.

The loss Of life at Washington, O., caused
by the firing of the militia on a mob is
most deplorable, and yet the firing seems to
have been clearly justifiable. The militia
were there to assist in the enforcement of
law and the mob was bent on violating it.
1t had battered down the courthouse door
and was making a mad rush to capture a
prisoner in order to lynch him. Fair warn
ing had been given and the order for the
troops to fire was not given until it be-
came absolutely necessary to repel the mob.
Under these circumstances, much as the
loss of life is to be regretted, there is no
ground for censuring the militia. The CEN
sure belongs wholly to those who made the
firing necessary.

Contumacfous Sugar Trust officials
Arrufgued I'm Court.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-The Sugar Trust
~fhcials-Messrs Havemeyer and Searles-
were arraigned in the Criminal Court OF
the District of Columbia before Judge Cole
to-day and pleaded not guilty to the indict-
ments against them for refusing to answer
questions OF the Senate Sugar Trust inves-
tigation committee. The proceedings were
brief and rather informal, since the ar
fragments took place after the usual hour
scented the trust officers. and District At
torney Bierney and T. L. Jeffords, his as
sistant, represented the government. Mr..
Wilson announced that his client would
waive the reading Of the Indictment and
plead not guilty, reserving the right to
withdraw the plea in fifteen days and de-
muir to the indictment. The district attor-
ney assented to this. Bail was fixed at
5000 in each case, a. X. Tingle, formerly
a special agent of the Treasury Department
going on the bonds, and the defendants
were free again.

Loss OF Life by stcnmer Accidents.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1s--Gen j. A Du-
mont, supervising inspector-general OF
steam vessels, in his annual report TO the
Secretary of the Treasury, calls attention
to the exceptional fact that while fires OF
greater or less extent occurred on ninety
four steam vessels during the year. there
was no loss OF life. The total number OF
lives lost by accidents, from various causes.
during the year was 255. an increase OF
twenty-seven over the year 1888. With ref
erence to the inspection OF foreign steam
vessels he suggests the propriety OF amend
ing the foreign inspection laws, by adding
a proviso authorizing a reciprocity in the
acceptance OF the certificates OF inspection
OF other nations that are willing 70 extend
the same courtesies TO steam vessels Of the
unitedStates.
