DENOUNCED BY PINGREE.
The Potato Patch Statesman Does Not
Like the Tariff Bill.

DETROIT, July %. An evening news
paper publishes an interview with Governor
Pingree, in which the Governor denounces
the pending tariff BILL He says the duty
on hides means an average increase of %
cents q pair on mems shoes. He asserts
that Armour, Swift, Morris and the Libbys
control the hide market and will coin mil
lions out of it. AS to sugar, Governor Pin
gree said: Il wish somebody would tell me
how sugar duty that makes people pay
more is going to benefit them, or how
higher price for sugar is going to bring
prosperity. 1t seems to me the trust is
going to reap all the benefits. The lumber
schedule hits people of moderate means the
hardest 1t increases the cost 81 per thou
sand. Not much lumber is used these days
in business blocks and fine city residences.
1t is the farmer and workingman who have
cause to complain for they cannot afford
brick and stone. 1t is all for the benefit of
the few who control the remaining pine in
Michigan and adjoining States. L don't
recall that the Dingrey bill imposes any ad
ditional duties on paintings or diamonds.
1t is the necessary commodities that are
made to bear the increased taxes. The pro-
moters of this bill ought TO be proud of it.

Rushing Across the Atlantic.

NEW YORK, July 23.-According to re-
ports circulated around the custom house

the week exciting race across the At

freighters have been striving to make port

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jaly 23.-If the pro-
gramme is carried ont as at present ar
ranged the tariff bin will become a law
within few minutes after it's passage by
the Senate tomorrow Saturday afternoon.
The vote will be taken at o clock A half
an hour should suffice for that formaity.
The BILL which has already been engrossed,
will Immediately rec i've the signatures of
Speaker Reed and Vice President Hobart.
President Mckinley is expected to be at
the Capitol and the President room, north
of the Senate chamber will be made ready
for his occupancy. AS soon, therefore, as
the bill is properly certified by the speaker
of the House and the president of the SEN
ate, it will be laid before Mr.. Mckinley.
The latter has already read the document
carefully and is familiar with its contents.
He will probably sign it at once and the
chances are that by 4:30 the Dingley law
will have taken the place of the Wilson
German law on the statute books. This
sharp action will prevent the passage
through Uncle Sans custom houses of
many millions of dollars of merchandise
which is being crowded into New York,
Boston and other ports to beat the new
law, and it will also head off the brewers,
who have rushed in orders for eight or ten
million dollars worth of internal revenue
stamps in order to take advantage of the
71a-cent rebate on every barrel of beer now
allowed.
The machinery of the Revenue Bureau
and the custom houses has been clogged
with business and if the Dingley law,
which is an emergency measure, can be-
come a law tomorrow, the government will
be ahead millions of dollars. There will be
no incentive for custom officers to keep
open until II o'clock at night, as they did
on one previous occasion in order to let inn
ported goods into bonded warehouses under
the old law, after a President had signed
a new law. Secretary Gage will see 10 it
