Slayden, Democratic Member From
Texas, Explains His Position.


Texas, Explains His Position.
It is stated OH the floor OF the House
that there Will be some Democratic votes
cast for the tariff bill when it comes up
for passage Wednesday next. Among
those reported 10 be in It's favor are three
of the Louisiana delegation and one Texas
member tSiayJien, of the San Antonio dis
trictl. Explaining his position, Mr.. Slay-
den said today:
The tariff is business matter. L
can see no good reason why the people
of my district should not share in its
advantages. They were greatly outraged
by the free raw material policy of
the Cleveland administration. which they
considered legislation in favor of the
manufacturers and against the producer.
In 1884 the assessors in Texas collected
taxes upon 4,691 00S sheep; in 1896,
upon z 140 $3.50 If this continues we
will soon be compelled to buy all our
wooden clothes abroad. and III the event
of war our condition might become really
deplorable / plainly promised the peo-
pie of my district that if they elected me
[ would vote for free silver and against
free wool and hides, and shall cast both
votes when the opportunity presents if

the civil service rules as will permit the
I'lDlic Printer To reinState in positions
in the Government Printing Office such
persons as, in his Judgment, were dis
charged for reasons that did not affect
their competency or moral character.
This is the first opportunity presented
the printers since the office has been placed
in the classified service, to undo the wrong
perpetrated on SO many worthy men by
the present head of the Government Print
ing Office. The members should now take
advanta ger Of this opportunity, for it will
be the means of silencing the advocates
of the civil service humbug.
The resolution is to permit the new
Public Printer the privilege of reinstat ting

The tariff rate is from DO to 70 cents
per 100 pounds. tits understood The west

The cause of this cut is the withdrawal
