SENATOR VEST ON THE
TARIFF.

Senator Vest made some significant
points in his speech Tuesday.
"W. kn,w," M. Vest said,' the DIES
perate condition Of the country, the
ruined homes, the blasted hearts. If
prosperity can come from any source
even from our adversersaries, we will
bless the moment. | do not believe the
imposition of hi CHER tariff duties will
dispel the clouds hanging above us,
bringing back the sunshine and illum-
mating the whole country"
1t has been said, Mr.. Vest proceeded
that adversely came with the advent
of the democratic party and prosper
ity with republican party. But that
adversely did not come with the advent
of the democratic party. Mr.. Vest
said that he would summon as wit
ness no less all authority than Mr.. Nc
kinley. The senator read from re-
port made by Mr.. Mckinley April l,
1890, setting forth the distress whichthe
farmers of the country were suffering.
How was it expected, the senator asked
that by increasing the burden of tariff
taxes the farmers would be helped to
buy more goods? All agreed that
there must be sufficient revenue to
meet the requirements of the govern
ment, that the government credit shall
he sustained and her flag honored. But
every dollar collected by the govern
ment beyond its needs is crime
Why was it, Mr.. Vest asked, that
the republican party was about to a
bandon its record and urge tariff, not
for protection, but for the amount of
revenue it will produce! Why does it
abandon its record and propose tax
on tea! The senator said there was at
this time an available balance in the
treasury of $229.35O,65O. De(,ucting
the reserve of 500 900 900 the available
balance was Sl29.350,650. This vast
amount of idle money was now accum-
lated in the treasury. And yet the
Senate was told that it must impose
on our suffering people additional
taxes. When President Harrison turn
ed over the government to President
Cleveland the treasury balance stood
at 24.l2S,0S7. Today there was l05
100000 more than when Mr.. Harrison
turned over government affairs to Mr.
Cleveland. How could this obvious
fact be avoided?
Governor DINGHY admitted it, Mr.
Vest said, and tried to explain it on the
ground that subsidiary coin and Ger
tain deficits were included in this pres
ent treasury balance. But with these
items (about $4,000, 0O0)out, there re
manned about $4,000 900 available tol
the uses of the government TO over
come this Governor Dingley says we
ought to increase the gold reserve tC
$3.50, 100000. Even if there was de
felt of S65 100000 this year-whicf
Mr.. Vest did not admit-yet there was
ample in the treasury to meet that de
felt. Why, then, should we hurry tC
put more taxes on the people, when
every dollar unnecessarily boarded by
the government is 4 crime against the
the people? Mr.. Vest said it was most
unfortunate that the republican side
had offered no estimate of revenue I'M.
til now. Inquiry had been made OF
Statistician Ford as to the promis-
ed comparative statement, and
he had stated that it was turned
over to the senator from Rhode IS
land.

SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT

The resolution appropriating $4,000
for the relief of distressed American citi
zens in Cuba reached the White House at
half Last II o'clock Tuesday. The Presi-
and will proceed at once to consult with
the officers of the State Department re-
specting the adoption of measures of re-
lief in addition to those taken last week
when Consul General Lee was authorized
to draw upon the State Department for
$4,000 for the procurement of immediate
supplies.
The State Department officials are of the
opinion that it will not suffice to send
money to Cuba, but believe that in view of
the high prices prevailing on the island it
will be best to procure at least a portion
of the stores in this country and send
them by freight steamers to Cuba.
Representative McMllin Of Tennessee,
Monday, introduced in the House a re So
luton providing for the consideration of
the Senate resolution recognizing the bel
ligcrcncy of the Cuban insurgents 'tlom
day to day until disposed Of" The reso-
luton was referred to the committee on
rules, but it is not likely the committee will
consider it. The majority leaders will de-
eide for themselves when it is proper to
act on the resolution
