Acknowledges MS fart in the Conway
kidnapping.
Kansas City, Mo, Dec. 15.-A lhert
S. Warnsr, the lawyer arrested yester-
day at Riley, KAN, charged with com
plicity in the kidnapping of young
Conway at Albany, N. y, last August,
was brought to Kansas City.
Warner was found on farm belong.
ing to a man named Goodrich, three
miles from Riley. After chase of
nearly four months in Georgia, Ten
nessee, Minnesota and New Mexico, no
was run to earth by Joseph MCCAIN of
the Albany detective force, together
with Pinkerton detective named
Thomas.
When approached Warner gave bis
name as George johnson and protested
that he htd never worked at any other
occupation than that of farm hand.
On his way from Junction City, whers
be vas taken from Riley Warner broke
down and admitted his identity.
Warmers maka-up as a farm hand
was an excellent one. He was dressed
in a suit of jeans, with yellow canvass
jumper and thick woolen cap. His
face was covered with thick growth
OF red beard. In spite of his Disguise,
however, certain lines of refinement in
his face betrayed him as a man of
education and led to his arrest. When
questioned by reporter, after his ar
rival in Kansas City, Warner said: II
exneut to meet lot of yuu newspaper
fellowa, so I've made up my mind not
to talk. "
Later Warner told briefly how he had

and, becoming tired of his conCeament,
be decided.to give himself up. On the

avenue Of escape. He atole the wheel
and rode to Philadelphia. After shor {

why Increase the Coal Dutye

Under the existing tariff bituminous
coal pays 40 cents ton. The Dingley
bill proposes to make this IS cents. In
1885 the imports of bituminous coal
into the United States were 1,243, $50
tons. The exports were 2, ,246,2S4. The
figures for Canada were: Imported from
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, etc.,
123, ,404 tons; from Quebec, Ontario,
etc., 39,9S7; from British Columbia,
627, ,257; exports to these three divisions
respectively, 413 tons, 1,671, ,302 and
3,094. Canada now proposes in case the
Dingley rate is imposed to retaliate by
a high duty cn our coal, which will
certainly not stimulate exports. Here
is an export business worth twice as
much as the corresponding import bust
ness, and it is proposed to run the risk
of running the former for the sake of
screwing $3.50. 900 taxes cut of the lat
ter, and this on the plea Of reviving
American industry. Can any sane man
fail to see that, even assuming that
imports do not fall off, it is hardly
worth while for the sake of paltry
$3.50, 900 to tempt Canada into running
an established business nearly twice as
large as that which is to yield the tax?
Yet this is the way in which 1.-The old
thing works. .

Champ ClarlS's Wit.

Champ Clark Of Missouri is not only
one of the wittiest men in the house OF
representatives. but he is one of the
best posted on the tariff question.
In ridiculing some Of the rates Of the
Dingley bill that to him seemed subject
to criticism, he recited how a man OF
the name of Goodyear went before the
ways and means committee and secured
the tariff he wanted by some skillful
palaYer about the great statesmen that
Maine had produced Then he said:
'.Mr. Chairman, that piece of soft
soap made it harder for every poor
man in the United States to build a
house. Governor Dingley swallowed the
bait as quick as trout would swallow
fly [laughterl, and next summer some
poor devil out west, living in dugout
100 miles from railroad station, who
voted for Mckinley under the deluded
idea that prosperity would come under
his administration and who has not
heard of this tariff bill, ciphers it out
that be can build him two room cot
tage with lumber and other building
materials at the old rate. He goes to the
station to get the lumber and finds that
the price has gone sky high, and he goes
back to his home and says to his Wife:
My dear, am sorry that we must stay
in the dugout. We cannot build our lit
tie house. A great man by the name Of
Governor Dingley has put the price Of
lumber and other things SO high that
we cannot do it, but, thank God, he
has left dragon's blood free. Laughter. ]
Next year, when my handsome friend
from Iowa (Mr Dolliver} returns to
that fine agricultural district which he
represents, some man who has not been
able to buy coat because Of the high
price Of woolen CLOTH will say to his
neighbor, There comes Dolliver, who
put up the price of woolen goods. But
the successful candidate for the post
cf6ce in that district says, oh, butiDol.
..;ser put divi-divi on the free 1istr
And in chorus they sing, 'Dolliver and
divi-diyi forever. Laughter. Ap-
plause on the Democratic side.

The canning industry and ether indus
sries that flourish by reason Of cheap
tin plate Another blow is struck at
business by abol;shixg the rebate on ex-

ported in cans made of imported tin are

and thus an export business has been
built up in canned sruits, oysters, vege-
tables, petroleum, etc. Over 4, 100000
tin cans are sent abroad annually, con-

protecting the Few woolerowers.


Suppose the Ding,ey duties on wool
would give the woolgrowers all the
protection claimed and that the price
of wool would actually go up the full
amount of the duty, which, of course,
is absurd. What would be the effect up
on the country at large?
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, statistician,
estimates the annual wool product at
S55, 900, 600 out of total Of S13, ,200,-
100000 produced by all the workers Of
the country and the persons dependent
on the wool industry at 800, 900 out of
a total population Of $4,000, 900. The
wool duty then means that out Of every
240 persons 239 are to be ''held up for
the benefit of the other one. This is a
sample of what protection does. OF
course more than 800, 600 persons may
sometimes raise a few sheep, but the
interests of these others are more those
of the consumer than of the sheep raiser,
and they would lose more because of in
creased cost of woolens than they would
gain by the increased price Of wool.
The protective tariff system is farce
when considered in connection with the
farmer or the workngman. Will they
ever fully appreciate it?

WASHINGTON, April 10, 1890.
5; DEAR ME. McKNLEY-It Is great mistake
TO take hides from the free list where they
have been for so many years 1t IS slap In
the face to the South Americans, with whom
we are trying to enlarge our trade. 1t viii

Pray stop it before it sees light. Such move
ments as this for protection viii protect tho
Republican party into speedy retirement
Yours hastily, JAMES u. BLAINE
Hon. William Mckinley. Chairman Ways and
Means
Where is the Blaine this year who
can head off the westerners who want
their share Of protection and foolish.y
imagine that they can get it by duty
on hides? It is perfectly consistent with
the protection system to tax hides, es-
pecially as the bulk CT the tax would
probably go to a few. monopoly butch
ers and ranchmen. But observe some OF
the effects upon our industries:
The importations Of untaxed hides
and skins last year were valued at s2o.-
ZIG, 52S. The goatskins were valued at
SIC, 800, $50. The former were mostly
converted into sole leather, beltings
and such like heavy material, for which
cur native hides are not thick enough.
The goatskins are not produced in this
country.
From this raw material we not only
manufacture boots, shoes and leather
goods for our own people cheaper and
better than they are made elsewhere IN
the world, but we exported finished
products Of the value of $50, ,242, T56.
Without free and cheap raw material
this export trade would have been inn
possible, and our own people, as Mr.:
Blaine pointed out, would be compelled
to pay more for their footwear. The
wages paid to our workers in leather
last year amounted to $50, 542, 1S6.
