which gave him his first national prom
inence- Schuyler Colfax was one of the
delegates from Indiana, and was made Sec
Rotary of the convention. Preliminary to
the opening of the convention there was a
parade through the streets OF Chicago, Of
which Horace Greeley said in his letter
to the Tribune, 1.-The spectacle was truly
magnificent" The citizens Of Chicago, Of
course he added, furnished the most i'm
posing part Of 1.-THE music, the military,
the ships on wheels. ornamented fire en-

can do better than that now. Edward
Bates, Of Missouri. afterwards Mr.. Lin
coins Attorney-general, was made presi-
dent.of the convention Among the speak
ers was Thomas Corwin, Of Ohio. The fol-
lowing paragraph from his speech as re-
ported by Thurlow Weed, shows the style
of reporting at hat time:
Congress has power to regulate
between the several States. If you send a
cargo of wheat from Chicago to Buffalo, a
distance of one thousand miles, crossing
lake after lake, stretching away in their
magnificent length. would not one naturally
think that this might be called commerce?
But no; that is a mistake, we are told.
h is 1t. then. my brother? Why, that
same cargo from New York to New Or
leans what is ii then? Well, then. II is
Why is 1T not in the first in
stance as well as in the last? oh, 1t is not
on salt water. "a laugh) He begged gentle
men would notice this nice distinction be-
tween commerce and trade. If We are en-
commerce.; IL upon fresh water. then ii is
trade. "a laugh.) Such is the beautiful con-
struction of that clause in the Constitution
as given TO it in various parts of the Union.
II you are DESTROYS of knowing the con-
struction of that clause. r~ecollect you are
not to ask the opinion of some able lawyer
or erudite statesman, but you must seek
some distinguished chemist and have the
water carefully analysed to discover wheth-
er 1t is salt or fresh. "a laugh.)
This was before the day Of shorthand re-
porting or Associated Press dispatches. Let
tiers were read in the convention from Hen
ry Clay, Daniel Webster. Thomas H. Ben
ton, Silas Wright, Lewis Cass and other
prominent men of the time, heartily ap-
proving the policy of national improvement
of Western lakes and rivers, and strong
resolutions were adopted. The convention
remained in session two days. and gave a
great impulse to public sentiment in favor
of the cause for which it was called.
In recent years Congress has adopted a
somewhat more liberal policy. but the i'm
portance of developing inland commerce is
not yet fully appreciated. The lake ports
still have to fight for what they get.

SENATOR GEORGE ON THE TARIFF.

Senator George has written letter Civ
ing his opinion as to the difference be-
tween the senate and Wilson tariff bills.
He gives comparison as to the average
schedule of tariff rates in the Mckinley
bill, the house bill, and the senate bill,
and shows that the calculations put the
average ad valorem duties under the Nc
Kipley law, at 1858 per cent, under the
house bill, at 355 per cent, and under
the senate bill, as amended, at 1919 per
cent.
He says tho reductions made, while
large as compared with the Mckinley bill,
are not as great as he desired, especially
on the cotton wooden and metal schedules,
and that some taxes are not levied that he
would like imposition lumber and raw
wool; nor does he like the sugar schedule.
But the senator says on the whole, the
bill as amended, is large step in the way
of tariff reform, and will, if adopted, re-
lieve the people greatly, duty having
been taken off cotton bagging, cotton
ties and agricultural implements and
other measures. He, however, does not
consider the senate bill as perfect, and
hopes that the conference committee will
correct some of its inequalities and imper-
fections, and that other Democratic sena-
tors have the same hope.
The votes of Democratic senators on
specific items of the bill, the senator says,
do not indicate their preference as to
those items, but rather the concessions
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1894-08-13

made, in many instances, in order to have
any bill passed at all. He has always
regarded the real contest as between the
senate BILL Subject to correction in CON
ference,) and the Mckinley bill now in
force as law, and has all along stated that
he would vote for any bill that might
be framed, if it were a substantial i'm
provement on the Mckinley bill.
Replying to the complaints made that
we have a Democratic senate and the
Democracy is responsible ii a tariff bill
is not passed in all respects satisfacto-
ry, Senator George says that it should
not be forgotten the Democrats have
only three majority, and no more in the
senate. So that it is essential to the
passage of any bill, that it should receive
about, if not quite, a unanimous Demo
cratic support.
Concluding, the senator says:
at is fact, and SO announced by Sena-
tor German in his speech, that the bill,
as it came from the house, could not pass
the senate. He also stated, that the bill
as amended, or proposed to be amended
by the Democratic members of the finance
committee, could pass. These facts should
not be overlooked or understimated,
when You come to consider the course of
the Democratic senators who were quite
willing to accept the Wilson bill as it
came from the house, with only slight
amendments. A tariff bill contains over
1000 articles of commerce, upon each of
which it is to be determined; first, whether
it should 60 on the free list, and if not
then how much it should be taxed. This
SHOWS at one glance how impossible it is
for any one man to have the tariff adjust
ed to suit him. No bill can be passed,
and no bill has ever been passed, except
by compromise of conflicting views. If
we had had Democratic majority, pro-
portionately as great as was the ma ority
in the house, we would have disregarded
the wishes of those who we think made
unreasonable demands. We would not
then have been under the necessity of
compromising to the extent forced on u.s.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY,

Secret organizations having religious
prescription for their objects find no
niche to fill in Democracy's halls. The
Pennsylvania state Democratic conven-
ton put it about right when it gave utter
ance to this sentiments:
ave reassert the old Democratic doc
trine of equal rights and religious liber-
ty; we are opposed to all organizations
which strike at freedom of conscience;
and We declare that no party can justly
be deemed national, constitutional or in
accordance with American princi Piles
which is animated by spirit of political
prescription or religious intolerance"
Democrats in Illinois, Wyoming and
other western states have been quite as
out-spoken on the subject.

SS3.3lS,OOO Acres.

Two-ffths of the entire area of the
United States consists of arid land and
upon G16,00O,OO0 acres crops could be
produced with water. At present only
about one-half of one per cent OF this
land is under irrigation.
Only those who understand and appre'
ciate these facts are aware of the import
ance of the subject of irrigation and of its
connection with the development and
prosperity of the entire country.
All phases of the problem will be dis
cussed at the Third National Irrigation
congress which convenes in Denver, Sep.
TENDER 8, and results of incalculablt
value to every citizen are expected.
In addition to the work performed, the

why Take the Wabash

For ST. LOUISP
Because it is the shortest line; the best
equipped line; runs free chair cars, Buffet
Pullmans and gives you ample time in
Kansas City for supper.
For TOLEDO OR DETROIT?
Because it is the shortest line; avoids
transfer across the city in case you are
going further east, and makes close con-
nections with all trunk lines.
For NEW YORK or BOSTON?
Because it has solid through service
from both Chicago and St. Louis, via
NIAGARA FALLS; gives forty minutes
stop at the falls at seasonable time in the
morning.
FOR ALL OTHER EASTERN POINTS?
Because its service is uniformly good
and you can make no mistake in asking
for tickets VIA THE WABASH.
