TILLMAN ON THE. TARIFF.
The Fiery South Caroiinan Will Fire a
Bomb on the Subject.


New York. May 4.-Senator Benjamin
Tillman said today that a desperate
fight would be made in support of a
proposition to pay a bounty on all farm
products exported to foreign countries.
1.-The prOtectiOniStS," said Tillman in his
inimita BILE way, have boosted much of
what they were doing for the farmer.
They have placed a tax on wheat, and
a tax on cotton. What an INSULT They
take the farmers for FOOLS OF what use
is a tax on wheat or cotton when there
is not a bushel of one or a pound of
the other imported?
We propose to put them to the test
If they are the friends of the farmer
they pirate so loudly of being, then let
them put an export bounty on all pro-
ducts of the farm. That will raise the
products sent abroad to every farmer in
the country. The effect will be felt ev-
erywhere.
"They say that this will vitiate the
bill to some extent as a revenue meas
IRE. Let it do so. If we can't get a rev.
enue by the means proposed by the pro-
tectiOnists, let US take steps for the re-
enactment of a law placing a tax on in
come 1 tell you 1 shall fight against
the Dingley bill till dOomsday, let what
will happen to the revenues, unless
something be done for the farmers and
the masses generally, as well as for
few manufacturers.
We, of the SOUTH" continued Sena-
tor Tillnlan, care little for protection,
out we propose 10 nave our snare OF IL
if any is going. If we can't get it by
tax on importatiOns, we will get 1t by
bounty on expectations. The one is as
fair as the other. We are rapidly de-
veloping. The digging of coal or ore
and the making of iron and steel in the
south are going to be great factors in
the industry and internal economy of
the country in the near future. But we
don't care continental for duty on
any of these things. We don't need
protection. I have some figures on this
feature of the tariff question which will
astonish you. This matter has never
been presented fully, and L shall have
something to say about it that will as
tOnish the whole country"

GREAT BASS CATCH.
Chicago Angler Hooks 200 Pounds
of Fish at Cedar Lake.

Crown Point. Ind, May 4.--The. greatest
catch Of black bass recorded in many
angler in Cedar Lake last Saturday.
In six hours Mr. Noyes hooked 200
an ideal one for angling. Rain fell in
termittently and the clOudiness seemed
to lure the bass from their haunts to
swallow the Chicagoans spoon hook.
Old fishers who have lived at the lake
for 40 years say that this is the best
catch ever made by anyone in single
day.
The fish seemed to quarrel with one an
other in order to be caught. Sometimes
they leaped a foot out of the water to
seize Mr. NOyes' feathered hook as it
da-ngled in the air.
As soon as Mr.. Noyes reached the Sig
Ter he telegraphed here for photograph
er and one a once drove to the lake and
made a picture of the beauties. Black
bass were never known to bite earlier
than those captured by Mr.. Noyes last
week.

SAND STOPS BULLETS.
Government Tests at Sandy Hook
Prove a Surprise to the Officials.

Prove a Surprise to the Officials.
New York, May 4-The tests yester-
day at the government proving ground
on Sandy Hood determined beyond
doubt the superiority of sand as a
cushion for stopping revolving eXplO-
sive shells moving at a great velocity.
The experiment cost the government
about $4,000
The erection of the parapet alone ne
cessitated an outlay of between $4,000
and $4,000, to which the expense invoIv-
ed in firing the big guns, when added,
increases the total several thousand
dollars
1t was the first time such tests have
been made in this country. The expert
mental fortress was mass OF SOIld
concrete, SO feet long, 20 feet thick and
about Is feet high, This was banked in
front with sand taken from the beach
near by and heaped up until it had
reached thickness of about Is feet.
One-haIf of the cement parapet was
protected with sand encased in gunny
sacks, the other half with, loose sand.
The sacks were placed upon one an
other, much after the fashion of build
ing temporary leVeeS on the banks of
western rivers in times of floods. The
range at which the firing was done
30 yards-was a remarkably short one,
when it is remembered that eight, ten
and u inch guns were used. These guns
were mounted on high carriages so that
the muzzles were en- level with the
top of the parapet.
The muzzles We're then pointed down
ward, so that the point of impact was
a bout the middle of the sand heap.
None of the shells fired into the side
protected by loose sand came out, a fact
which demonstrated the superiority of
that method of Construction The loose
sand at the conclusion of the firing was
not nearly SO badly scattered as was
that in the sacks. The cement wall was
in no way injured.
