A LEGISLATIVE RACKET.
Members Afraid to Go ON Record
ON the County Fee Bill.

ON the County Fee Bill.
Bots, Statesman.
There was an exciting scene at
the close of the SESSION of the house
February 10. A filibuster was
started against the bill providing
for care of the state funds and was
at its height when the hands of the
clock on the wall pointed to the
hour of IL, the time fixed by con-
current resolution for adjourn
ment until Tuesday. A motion
had been. made to recommit the
measure and vote was being ta-
ken when the moment arrived, &C
cording to the testimony of the
clock, and Mccarthy refused to
vote, declaring the house was adj
journed. 81
Judge Elder, in the chair, did
not propose to have the bill STAYED
off in that way. His watch show
ed that it still lacked several min
ute to IL and he ordered the roll
call to proceed, amid increasing
confusion. Members in opposition
kept jumping up but the chairman
as regularly pounded them down
with the gavel.
The motion to recommit was de-
feated and then the roll was order
ed called on final passage of the
measure. Many refused to vote
and attempted to consume time in
explaining their reasons. The
chair refused to listen to them, as
their remarks did not come within
the privilege extended to a member
Of explaining his vote.
The turmoil had reached high
point when McCarthy's name was
called. The member from Custer
rose to his feet and sought to ex.
plain. The chairman ordered him
to sit down. He refused to do sc
and then Elder ordered the ser,
geant-at-arms to put him in his
seat. At once there was an omi
nous movement, members jumping
to their feet as though to defend
the recalcitrant and it being made
apparent that there would be 6
conflict if the officer approached
Mccarthy. Fortunately the ser
geant-at-arms was not in the hal
{ at the moment and the critica
point was passed by the clerk pro
ceeding with the call of the roll

Manufacturer, Against Tariff Bill.

One of the most striking indications
Of the growth Of sentiment against high
protection and of a liberal sentiment
upon tariff matters is the movement
against the pending tariff bill by the
Manufacturers Association Of the
United States. Mr.. A. B. Farquhar, an
extensive manufacturer of agricultural
machinery at York, Pa. is at the head
Of the movement.
1t is well known that in the manu-.
facture Of agricultural implements and
machinery Americans are far in advance
of their competitors in any other land
and that the products Of their factories
may be seen in the fields all over the
civilized world. These people need no
protection and are we'll able TO take care
Of themselves. All they ask is to have
uDta1et raw material, so that they will
not be placed at disadvantage.
A great list Of other industries are
practically in the same position and de-
sire free raw material more thar they
desire protection. 1t is also significant
that the manufacturers, in their petit
ton to the senate, declare that their
ability to employ American labor will
be greatly impaired by the passage Of
the tariff bill. They ask that the Chi
nese wall that is obstructing the foreign
trade and crippling American enter
prise shall be broken down.
The plea which has been used for
years by the protectionists-namely,
that protection is in the interest Of
American labor-is shown by census
figures to be sham. OF the 5000, 900
persons employed in manufacturing in
the United States it is shown in the pc
tition that less than 100000 are en-
ployed in occupations subject to active
foreign competition and $4,000 in
occupations subject to moderate for
eign competition. The remainder, over
100000, do not come at all in compe-
tition with foreign labor.
1t is very plain that the Dingley bill
is not designed, any more than any 9TH
er high protective measure was de-
signed, to protect American labor or to
produce revenues for the government.
1t is designed primarily to protect the
trusts and to foster monopoly.-Balti-
