THE TARIFF BILL.
President Cleveland, Chairman
Wilson and Senator Hill
WAsHINeToN. D. c., July 20,

WAsHINGToN, d. c., July 20,
EDIToR ADVOCATE
The tariff bill. Obi where is il /?
Mr.. Hill says "a theory as well as a
condition confronts us" at present.
The Conference Committee on the
tariff bill has made its report, and the
conferees agreed to disagree. and Mr..
Hill in opening his speech on the
report made use of the above Ian
guage. The President has written a
letter to Chairman Wilson denounc-
ing the Senate job as an utter failure
ON the part of the Senate to redeem
the pledges of the Democraticsparty.
Mr.. Hill is defending the Presidents
position on free raw materials. Mr..
Wilson said in concluding his speech
yesterday: eff it be true that the
great American sugar trust has grown
so strong and so powerful that it says
that no tariff bill can pass the Ameri-
can Congress, in which its privileges
are not adequately guarded, if l
say, that be true, hope this House
will never consent to adjourn. l hope
whatever the fate of the general tariff
bill is, that this House will not con-
sent to All adjournment until it has
passed single bill putting refined
sugar on the free list"
Chairman Wilson has proven HIM
self true and patriotic Democrat; a
Democrat for principle and not for
what there is in it. What we need
to-day is few more Wilson's and
the Democratic party will stand for
ever. 1t is thought that the House
will never agree TO an adjournment
until the bill is disposed of. and ac-
cording to the Houses idea of the
matter.
This state of affairs convinces me
more thoroughly that the Senate
should either be abolished or that
Senator'S should be elected by the peo-
pie. When it comes to few "incor-
porated, ""trust" Senators wanting to
repudiate and destroy the opinions,
the veins and the grand principles of
the great Democratic party, it is time
to call halt. The House of Repre-
sentatives must stand firm, and ger
what the people want or nothing.
The Wilson Bill as it was passed by
the Senate, is simply the Mckinley
Bill with Wilson's name at its head.

HOT AGAINST THE MAYOR.
The Piedmont Exposition Directors
Irate Over the Veto.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb 2S.-The city is still
agitated 0 er the trouble Mayor Goodwin
is causing the projectsrs of the proposed
international exposition. A mass meeting
Of citizens has been called for tomorrow
night for the purpose of sustaining the
mayor in his settle with the exposition
people.
To-day the exposition directors met and
denounced the action of the mayor in re-
fusing to sanction the $3.50, 600 appropria-
ton to buy the grounds belonging to the
Piedmont Company. Several directors
lost their heads in attacking the
/ mayors official action, and said some
very salty things about him. He
was accused by J. J. Spalding Of
deliberately stopping the exposition pro
Ject because he was narrow minded and
prejudiced.
Director j. w. English asserted that
| the mayor had committed himself favor
ably 10 the Piedmont trade before IL was
made, and he did not understand how he
could go back on il.
Capt. English and others who have
figured as leaders in the movement
thought the thing 10 do now is to aban-
don the exposition and ex-Gov. Bullock
introduced a resolution to that effect.
Since the city will not buy their land
the exposition people are sick of the ex-
position scheme.
Mayor Goodwin was sent for after the
hot-headed directors had about spent
the force Of their angry disappoint-
ment in words and he undertook to fur
Their explain his action, but the exposi-
tion people received his speech as if it had
been an Ice water bath. There was talk
then of asking the council to override the
mayors veto, and buy the Piedmont
swamp anyhow.
In order TO further widen the sore,
Director e. p, Howell proposed a confer
ence committee TO see if the deal could
not yet be patched up with the mayor,
and the trouble now rests in this shape
Unless the committee brings the mayor to
terms, the exposition idea will probably
be dropped summarily
