To Tax Indian Lands.

The official views of the Interior Depart
ment on the bill making allotted Indian
lands subject to state and local assessments
and taxation. as any other similarly located
lands. are given in a communication for
warded by the commissioner of Indian af-
fairs to the chairman OF the House COM
mittee on Indian affairs Commissioner
Browning says:
The exemption OF a large body of land
within the limits OF a county works a great
hardship on the white tax payers OF the
county. So far as the interests Of the In
dams are concerned. the enactment of the
proposed legislation would meet with no
possible objection from them. On the con-
trary, IL would result in more cordial rela-
tons between the Indians and the white
citizens. Whether the burden. which now
has to be borne by people in the immediate
vicinity OF allotted lands. should be shIrted
to all the people OF the United States may
be safely left to the wise discretion VI Con-
gress.'

THE TARIFF IN ENGLAND.
WILLIAM WoLSTEMHoLME'S Ex-
PERlENcES OVER THE WATER.

He Once Thought Protection Protected
But Has Changed His Mind-He
Repudiates the claims OF Pauper Labor
aud Affect Poverty There.
William Wolstemholme, a folder In the
]. Bancroft & Sons Company mills, spoke
in the George Gray wigwRm last even
ing, on his tariff experiences IN England,
which were culled during recent visit
to Manchester. There was fair at.
tendance. Mr.. Wolstemholme had
never spoken in public before, but his
talk was very interesting.
He said that be came to this country
In 1864, during the operation Of the hrst
tariff bill and at first thought that 1t
was benefit to the country, but after a
time he began to studysit closer and saw
many things which led him TO reverse
his opinion He had voted the Republi-
can ticket all along until the last time
Cleveland ran for President, and then,
fully convinced that the so-called pro-
lection meant loss to the wOrklngman and
gain to the monopolist, he voted for
Grover Cleveland and had never re-
| GREETED it.
The main reason for his change OF
heart was the fact that 80 much stress

on the other side, which meant the send
| ing Of too many worl1ingmen here.
He referred to the threRdbare claim Of
pauper labor and abject poverty in
England. In Manchester he found his
sister working In the folding room seven
hours a day and making a guinea or
$52 a week His brothers wife run
ming four LOOMS and not only making
enough to pay her helper but earning .
pound, or $4 SO a week. OF the G, ,000
persons employed in those mills they al
made good wages and none complained
In the bleaeheries the hands were making
good time; folders got about SO 90 !
week for days of nine hours. When
there was the abject poverty spoken Of
In nine cases out of ten it was caused By
strong drink
The speaker referred to the cost o
living Glnghams he saw marked at
cents a yard, and other articles of weai
and household furnishings as cheap, Il
not cheaper, than here Bread could b
had for 2 cents for a four pound loaf
meats for and 10 cents pound, ans
other things in proportion. He foun'
many articles manufactured in thi
country sold there cheaper than here
The average Of wages was 80 shillings O
$s a week, and the living expenses woul'
not exceed 80 shillings
The speaker stated that he had mad,
up his mind to vote for the party whicl
! was.most liberal to the worklngmAn, an,
/ that was the Democratic party.
