INCREASE OF REVENUE.
Republican Measures VIII swell Our
Inannse


One of the methods by which the re-
publicans will increase the revenue is
shown by the news that the ways and
means committee has put cotton ties on
tine dutiable schedules of the tariff bill
which is in course of preparation. In
the Wilson law they are on the free list.
Several other important articles, includ
ing WOOL were made free by the present
law, and on all of these duty doubt
less will be placed by the republicans.
It will be remembered that the present
law does not go quite so far in the direc-
ton of free trade as the house of repre-
sentatives which put IL in It's original
shape designed il 10 go. The senate
amended it in ga places, generally in
the direction of greater protection, and
the house was forced TO accept the
by passing the ''popgun" bills putting
sugar, coal, barbed wire and iron ore
on the free list, but none of these meas
ures passed the senate.
In the act Of 1890 the republicans
made a large addition 10 the free list
by taking the duty off raw sugar and
largely reducing it on the refined prod
net. The conditions, however, were
radically different then from those
which prevail to-day. A surplus both
cred the country at that time, while
deficit confronts it now. The very title
Of the law of 1890, which was called an
act to 'reduce the revenue and equalize
the duties on imports" proclaimed the
existence of n situation such as has not
been present in the past four years.
When the law of seven years ago was
framed the purpose was to diminish the
revenues, and IN making cut on sugar
this purpose could be served and the
people benefited, for sugar yielded over
S50,000,000 of revenue a year, and every
family in the country was forced TO as
sist in paying it.
BY placing duty on articles like wool
end cotton ties, which are at present add
united free. ready and certain source
of revenue is provided. An increase in
duties already existing will, of course,
be made on many articles, but this calls
for very delicate discrimination, for
heavy advances would defeat their pur-
pose by cutting down imports to an ex-
tent which would more than neutralize
the increase in rates. Here is where
the framing Of tariff designed to pro-
lide both additional revenue and addi-
tional protection calls for great skill,
Undoubtedly, however, the republicans
will meet the requirements satisfac-
torily. The provisions of the forth
coming bill which have been published
thus far show that the ways and means
committee thoroughly understands the
difficulties which are presented, and is
determined TO overcome
them.-St Louis Globe Democrat.

FUSION EFFECTED.
Democratic, PopuIist and silver Con-
ventions AT Grand Rapids.


Grand Rapids, Feb. is. - The state
convention of the silver democrats, sill
yer republicans and populsts was held
Wednesday to select candidate for JUS
tice of the supreme bench and regent
of the university. The middle-of-the-
road populists under the lead of John
q. label, of Monroe, refused 10 fuse
and held a convention and nominated
John o. label for justice of the supreme
court and Robert McDougal, of Hills
dale, and NJ. o. Graves, of Petoskey, for
regents.
The conference committee labored
three hours before agreeing on terms,
and finally reported that the democrats
be given half vote and the populists
and free silver men each IA quarter of
vote, and that the democrats have
the justice and the others have the
regents. The silver men, the demo-
Gratis and some of the populists ac-
cepted this scheme.
The fusionists adopted resolutions
which reaflirmed the Chicago platform;
declared that the free and unlimited

mount issue and the only solution of
the present business depression: OPP
posed the retirement of the national
paper money and replacing it with

and declared that w. j. Bryan was the
greatest living exponent of Jeffersoni-
on principles, the true friend of the
people and the logical standard-bearer
for democracy in 1900. The convention
then took a recess till evening. At the
evening session the following ticket
was nominated: Justice of the supreme
court, George l.. Yaple, st. Joseph coun-
ty; regents of the university, Stanley

however, laid his case before the An

day 1t was decided to recon-

Ward s case is a rather queer one. He
has for several years been in the en-

refinery He claims to possess all the
secrets of the house in regard to the re-
filming of lard, which is sold by this
company all over the world Several
days ago the managers of the firm told
Ward that there was a man coming
from New York to take his place and
that he would be given another posi-
ton. The man arrived, but Ward who
knew the lard making secrets a bsoIllte-
Iy refused to impart anything to his
successor Several requests for him to
