The following are some of the com.
ments of a man well acquainted with
linens and the linen industry upon the
senate doctored Dingley bill:
The proposed duties ON linen goods
under the amended Dinlgey bill are
heavier than ever, although it has been
claimed that the senate bad reduced
rates. These goods paid for many years
80 per cent and yielded steady reve-
nue. to the government. The rates now
proposed vary from 80 to 100 per cent,
and the burden falls heaviest on low
and medium goods, which are chiefly
used in the homes of the poorer people.
A cheap tablecloth now selling at re-
tail at % cents per yard will have to be
sold at 3715 cents to 40 cents if the
quality be kept up.
Medium linen for children's summer
blouses will be assessed 991k per cent,
and the retail price will have to go up
accordingly.
Linen forms the raw material for
many American industries, as Innings
for clothing and other purposes where
strength and durability are required.
Such goods will be advanced 90 to 80
per cent.
1t is claimed that this advance is nec-
essary for revenue, but the effect will be
that the people will in many cases substi-
tute something cheaper, and thus be de-
prived Of this useful fabric, and the reve-
nue. will be correspondingly diminished.
1t is said that linen goods can be made

again, and except in the case of few
low crashes has been failure, owing to
the climate and other difficulties, but
even if they could be made here the
rates are unnecessarily oppressive. The
entire cost of weaving linen goods in
Europe is about 2 p to 10 per cent the
selling price of the article here, and in
America the cost should not be at the
very outside more than double this per-
centage, so that, even if Republican
theories be true, a protection of 80 per
cent should be ample TO allow for high
er wages and extra profits for our man.
lfacturcrs.
1t is possible speculators may start
mills on the strength of these excessive
rates, sell the stock, and then step out
leaving the unfortunate laborer and
manufacturer to face the difficulties of
the situation as best they can. The la
borer probably, having been brought
here from Europe (for labor is on the
free lisD, with unreasonable expecta-
tions, will be left to join the army of
disappointment and discomfort. Why
should these exorbitantly high rates be
assessed on an article more or less in
use in every household in the land, and
the cost of living so much increased in
these days of keen competition and |
small profits? Why should the plain peo-
pie be taxed to put more money in the |
pockets of the rich? If the wealthy
want to make expert
ments, let them do so at their own cost,
not tax the poor for that purpose.

ticipation of a visit, but the ground
where the material from the still was
discharged had been recently dug up,
as if to destroy all signs of recent use
and the still and furnace showed signs
of having been recently operated.
The deputy noticed, however, what
seemed to be fresh wagon tracks lead
ing from the still out into field, and
following them after some search he
found a barrel of brandy concealed in
a clump of bushes. Morelli denied all
knowledge of the brandy, but it was on
land rented by him, and other informa-
tion gathered by the deputy decided
the Collector to seize the still, which
was done.
The United States District Attorney
has been Informed of the case, and
Morelli and his brother-in-law Will
probably be proceeded against.

communication to the same board By
myself some days ago, and you give ii
as having been read to the board last
night. That was not the case, for if il
had been read would have replied TO
| it then and there. But as it has been
given to the public in the manner stated

1t will be observed that the Mayor
criticises my communication only as to
the S-street sewer pumping plant, and
says there are certain items for i'm
provements, etc. / desire to say that
I include every item, and the publica-
ton shows for itself
The Mayor then tells of the fuel ac-
count, and how cheap it will be here
after. He gives figures that cannot
be verified in experience in this city on
the part Of the Mayor. If such results
are attainable he should use coal right
now and save the money.
1t is apparent to any one that the
items l referred to were the fuel ac-
counts more particularly, and the fig
ures are from the books of the City
Auditor, and of course are correct In
regard to the Campbell contract and its
figures, l telephoned the City Clerk.
and the figures given by me are the
| figures so received. If there was a
mistake it viii appear from the rec
oris.
Even if it be a mistake, it shows a
saving Of over 800 per month against
the Mayors administration, and those
figures may be verified any time Pos
sibly the figures the Mayor now gives
for future use are contained among
the Information he had when my rep
resentative called upon him for infor-
nation preparatory to my communi-
cation.
The Auditor suggested to my repre-
sentative that the Mayor had the de-
tails all figured out, and he called upon
the Mayor and asked for it. Whereupon
his eXcellency asked who the informa-
ton was for, and upon being informed
that it was for me, said if Hatfield
wanted such information he would have
to dig it out as his clients had been
fighting him Ghe Mayor. The fighting
consisted in resisting his action, and
which the court decided was ground
less, and resulted in taxing the city
with interest and cost without any
benefit.
The Mayor is welcome to any conso-
lation he can get out of anything l
have stated, and my statements were

which can be demonstrated. and not
upon the imagination of rainbow
chasers. Respectfully
