John <. Cowan on w. Z. wilson.

y
Mr.. Cowan, the great B. & o. R.
R. lawyer of Baltimore, for years a
leading Tariff Reformer in Maryland,
pays the following high compliment
to Hon. VIM. L. Wilson, in letter
accepting a tender of the nomination
to Congress in the 4th Maryland Dis
trict:
therefore say that if the Demo-
Gratis of the Fourth District desire
me to be their candidate, will ac-
cept the post and peform its duties to
the best of my ability.
In the fight for commercial freedom
1 shall not hesitate to follow where
Grover Cleveland may lead, and it
would give me pleasure to aid, if 1
can, on the floor of the House of Rep
resentatives, Mr.. Wilson, of West
Virginia, whom your letter fifty de-
scribes rs the great champion of
his party in its fight to place >on the
statute-books those principles for
which Democracy stands
/ regard him as the American Peel
and American Golden combined
the scholarly. thoughtful and saga
cious statesman, determined to strike
from enterprise the worst shackIes of
protection, yet feeling that the PERM
cious system has become so entwined
with many industries that first and
moderate steps must be taken before
entire industrial freedom can be Sc
cured. AT the same time he is the
bold aggressive reformer, like Cob
den, to whose tireless agitation
against restrictions on commerce the
England of to-day owes much of her
industrial supremacy.
To follow such leaders of Democ-
racy will not only be my duty, but
my greatest pleasure.
Hon. W. A. Croffut, in address
ing recent Democratic meeting at
Philippi, said:
"The last political speech L made
was in New York. 1 then addressed
Republican meeting. This is my
first Democratic specialize first
time 1 ever faced Democratic au-
dience in this capacity. 1 have
changed my faith. You will wonder
where travelled 1 went to Eng
land, I found that in that country
under free trade they had low wages.
l then thought the protection policy
a good thing. I visited Germany,
and there, where they have our pol
icy of protection, found that wages
were lower than in England. then
went to France, where they have a
high protective tariff even between
different divisions of the country,
and there found wages still lower
than Germany. 1 began to think
then. saw that tariff did not reg
uIate wages. I saw that something
was wrong. found it was the pro-
tective system, and that is one of the
many reasons why I changed my
views and am now Democrat That
is why l am with that great leader
and statesman, Hon. w. L. Wilson.
1 want to see him elected again that
he may complete the work he has so
noblY begun.

ner to representative of the BaIti-
more Sun, on his return from West
Virginia yesterday, "the Democrats
are making steady Roadway and are
sure to carry the State. Tue leaders
are much encouraged. Mr.. Wilson
will certainly be elected"
Representative VIM. L. Wilson
has been making a brilliant cam
paign, and has been received every
where with a perfect ovation. At
Morgantown last Saturday he was
met at the station by 100 students of
the University, comprising the Stu
dents William L. Wilson Club, who
escorted him to the hotel. From
that time he was kept busy receiving
his enthusiastic admirers. At II
o'clock a special train from Fair
mont, bearing tremendous delega-
ton, among them cx-Gov. a. B.
Fleming, arrived, and about that
time three excursion boats from
points along the Monongahela river
brought about GOO people. The
Pennsylvania delegation came in on
two trains and numbered 1920.
Pittsburg alone sent COO, including
large representations from the Car
Isle, Randall and Tiiden Clubs, the
County Democracy and the Cathedral
Band, and Uniontown, Counellsville
and Brownsville also sent large
crowds. The PennsyIvanians wore
badges with Pennsylvania Tariff
Reformers" inscribed on them, and
they were loud and long in their APP
plause for the occasion. A dozen
brass bands, drum corps and thou
sand tin horns kept the town in a
pandemonium until the speaking be-
gan.
The speaking was held in The court
house square. Ex-Gov. Fleming
opened the occasion with splendid
speech, Which in itself repudiates
the statement that he would inot give
AIr. Wilson his active support. he
assured the crowd that Marion county
is all right and will give MIR. Wilson
an increased majority. NIr. Wilson
followed the ex-G Governor and was at
his best His exposition of the prin-
ciples of tariff reform were never
more logically or eloquently present.
ed, and he held the closest attention
of the audience even during hard
shower of rain, which fell for five
minutes during his speech. He could
scarcely proceed at times on account
of the applause.

PETER Continues with Part Three of His
Tariff Speech.

WASHINGTON, April 10 Committee
reports and the urgent deficiency bill
occupied the time of the Senate until l
o'clock The tariff bill was then taken
up al d Ptffer went on with the third
part of his speech.
In the course OF mis- speech he an
nounced his purpose to present Il bsti
tute for the pending bill. That substi-
tute, he said, would be based upon the
principle of taxing the articles used by
the rich and exempting the articles Of
prime NJ cessity used by the poor,
whether OF domestic or foreign produ
ton.
Gallirger (ReP., N II asked whether

the manufacturers in the United States
could continue in business very long on
FREQ trade basis.
PETER replied that he was not looking
after tho interests Of the manufacturers,
but after the interests Of the men in the
West and the South who produced the
raw materials. If there were duties on
the manufactured articles he wanted
duties also on the raw materials.
Gallinger further asked whether, If
free trade were established and il the
manufacturers had to discharge their
laborers or to reduce wages, the con-
sumption Of the agricultural products of
the West would not be largely reduced
and their prices reduced.
PETER replied that the surplus of the
agricultural products of the West was
exported and the prices axed in the
foreign market 80 that the people of
Kansas could stand free trade better
than the people whom Gallinger repre-
sentod. For that reason he asked that
his Repu blican friends would aid him
in insisting on retaining the duty on
wool, in putting sugar on the free list,
and in retaining the sugar bounty.
Gallingsr-I think I can speak for
every Senator from the New England
States when say that We are with the
Senator from Kansas absolutely on
these propositions. 1 think we are with
the Senator on any other reas onable
proposition which concerns the welfare
and prosperity of the great State he
represents.
Yes" said PETER sarcastically, but
whenever we ask anything that you do
not agree to, you call 1t unreasonable.
PETER had not finished his speech at
. p. m, whom, according to agreement,
tho debate on the tariff bill ended for
tho day. The further consideration Of
the urgency deficiency bill was then re-
sumed and continued until 6 o'clock,
when, without action, the Senate ed-
journed until tomorrow.

Work on tho Roanoke government
building hiss at last been commenced.
nj. Il. Normoyle has boon awarded the
contract for opening the test pits, and
yesterday afternoon at o'cloc < with a
force of hands, broke the first ground on
which tho building Is TO be erected, and
it is tho opinion OF the superintendont
OF construction, j. j. Garry, that as
soon as the report of tho work done by
MIR. NormoYle Is sent to the govern,
ment, the active work of construction
will begin.
MIR. Garry only received notice from
tho Treasury Department Wednesday
night that the contract for the test pits
had been awarded TO Contractor Nor
moyle, and tho short time elapsing be-
tween this and the beginning OF the
work is evidence that the construc lion
of the building will be pushed forward
by the superin tendent of construction
as fast as possible.
The new building, which is To be
erected on tho southeast corner of Henry
street and Church avenue, will be lO5X
l24 feet and will be an imposing struc..
ture.
The approprlation for this building
has been made for some tin g, but it h as
been ascertained that just at the close

employees of this department rushed in
