ment that the second year the bill would
yield $1OO,OOO,OOO increased revenue.
WHEELER, FOR THE DEMOCRATS
Mr.. Wheeler, began with the statement
that the bill had been secretly prepared
by the eleven Republican members of the
committee on Ways and Means and
framed almost in the language of the
petitions presented by protected interests.
Since the star chamber measure came to
light on last Monday, he said, the con-
servative press Of the country had de-
nounced it in unmeasured terms. The
bill increased the duty on many articles
far above the Mckinley rates and in
some instances exceeded the Mckinley
rates by from so to 100 per cent. Nearly
every paragraph was changed from the
ad valorem rates under the Wilson bill
to either the specific or compound rates,
the effect of which was to enormously
increase the duty upon cheaper articles
that are purchased by those who work
and lessen the tariff upon the expensive
articles that are purchased only by the
rich
RECIPROCITY HYPOCRISY
The reciprocal clauses in the tariff bill
can never become operative; the PROPOSE
ton will never be accepted by any gov
erment Under the Wilson bill ou excess
of exports over imports far exceed those
enjoyed by our country under the Nc
Kinley law. The proclamation of the
President admits that our receipts last
year were only $25.O00.0O0 less than our
expenditures, and the reports of the
Treasury now show that our receipts ex-
ceed our expenditures, and in the face of
these facts the Republican majority seek
to pass a bill which they say will in
crease taxes S113.000,0O0.
Mr. Wheeler spoke over an hour. He
was followed by Mr.. Hopkins, (Rep.,
Illinois), who announced that the mission
of the Republican party, again placed
in power, was to restore prosperity and
give employment to labor. The tariff
bill prepared for the purpose. he sa;i,
would meet alike the wants of the gov
ernment and the people.
POSITION OF THE POPULISTS.
Mr.. Bell, Populist, Colorado), then
then took the floor as the spokesman of
his party associates. The Populist party,
he said, has not taken any decisive stand
on the tariff as whole, because it has
never believed that the tariff was the
cause of our difficulties. Nevertheless, i
think it can be safely stated that the
Populists in general believe that while the
government raises its principal revenua
by an import tax, such incidental prctec-
ton should be given to all our industries
as will cover the difference between the
cost of labor here and abroad without
discrimination against section or individ-
ua. whether he produces raw material or
manufactured products. But the Popu-
list party. of course, believes in requiring
the wealth of the country to bear its
share of the burdens through a gradual
ed income tax.
At O'clock, when Mr. Bell concluded,
the House under the order took a recess
until 8 O'clock.

SECRETARY GARY'S POLICY.
VIII Follow Practice of Last Admins
tration as to PostmastershipS.

tration as to Postmastershps.
Washington, March 20-Postmaster
General Gary will continue the old policy
as to distributing patronage of the post
offices and he announced to the Associat-
ed Press to-day that he would not de-
viate from the practice followed by past
administrations. This as a general rule
gives to every Senator the privilege of
recommending postmaster for his home
postoffice and allots to each Republican
Senator the largest postoffice in his dis
trict. In case the Senator is not Of
the Republican faith, it will go to the
Republican committee or other referee.
In Democratic districts the selection is
left to a referee or perhaps to Republi-
can Senator.

and we denOunce as Il crime against
the best interests of our people any law
which leaves the consumers of this land
subject to the exactions of reckless and
corrupt combinations formed to destroy
competition and control prices"
Treating of the effect of the bill on la Dor
the report says:
The report of the committee on Ways
and Means is singularly silent upon the
old pretext that these high taxes are i'm
posed for the benefit of American labor;
and the silence may be taken as conced-
ing the Democratic contention that the in
-telligenee and skill of American factory
operative are all the protection which he
needs or desires. The labor argument OF
the protectionist can bc reduced to an
absurdity which makes it amazing that
it should ever have been seriously ad-
vanced
DEMOCRATS WERE GAGGED.
The report concludes: "We are unable
to offer a substitute for the pending BILL
because we have not been allowed a
reasonable time to prepare one. Congress
convened in extraordinary session on
Monday the fifteenth day of March, and
this bill was introduced the same day
and referred to the committee on Ways
and Means which met the next morning,
and on Thursday it was ordered to be re-
ported to the House. The majority of
the committee had spent the three
months of the last session of the last
Congress in the preparation of their bill,
and yet they refused to allow the minori-
ty three weeks in which to prepare a
substitute. We are unwilling to propose
a measure that has not been carefully
matured, and we must, therefore, con-
tent ourselves with protesting against
the passage of the committees bill"

Why Can't the Middleburgh Post
Publish Such a Notice?

The cap factory, so recently To-
Gated in our town, is not able to
fill orders promptly with the pres
ent help. The firm was obliged to
cancel some orders. They now en-
ploy over one hundred people, the
force Of workmen will be increased
to 100 ~ 200. They are taking
new giNs sf1earn the business ev::
cry weeks For the good of the fac
tory ana the town, PersoliP sceNfng
employment will be obliged to
move to town. In the spring Il
number of families will move here
with view of getting work in this
new industry. Competent girls can
find work and time as cap makers.
Self and Lauterstein are now hav-
ing the specifications made to raise
the lower part of the factory as high
the new part. They are young,
energetic business men and thor
oughly understand the cap business.
Before long they will have one OF
the largest and most prosperous in
dustries in this part ofthe country.
Girls who apply themselves earn
over sl.0O per day as cap makers.
Such wages should be an incentive
to young girls to eagerly seek en-
ployment in this factory, which is
equipped with the latest machinery
and modern improvcments.-Nor-

Long Distance Telephone

The Central Pennsylvania Tclc-

commence in Il day or two the cree
ton of Il metallic circuit line from
Petersburg to Greenwood Furnace,
Pa, via Porter's Mills, Cottage,
Nef7s Mills, Mooresvillc, Manor
Hill, Saulsburg, Ennisville and Me-
Alevy's Fort. The principal mer-
chants in all of the above towns
have made contracts for long dis
tance telephones. When the line is
completed, on or about December
ISL the Huntingdon telephone sub
scribers can be placed in instant
communication with any point in the
Shaver's Creek valley.--Hmting-
don Ners.
The Long Distance Telephone
Line will be built through Snyder
county carly next Spring. This
Company needs more wires for bus
mess requirements and instead of
running other wires by way ofHar-
risburg, they will run them through
Snyder county. The revenue from
Snyder county business seems to be
a secondary consideration, though
pay stations will be established and
business men will have the oppor-
tunity Of securing phones for long
distance business.

THE TIMES BRUNSWICK Ca THURSDAY MORNING JUNE g. 1897
A MAN WANTED

1t is announced that the city council,
ia its search for a mayor, has discoy-
cred great dearth of available men.
Although it is hard to believe this iii
city the size of Brunswick it seems
to be, nevertheless, the truth.
However tins may be, Brunswick
must have a mayor, and toe time for
choosing is very short. Tonight the
council must name Mr.. Mason's suo-
cess0r.
There are too many important dut-
les incumbent, just at this time, upon
the occupant of the office of mayor of
Brunswick to admit of hasty or hap
hazard selection. The movements
inaugurated by Mayor Mason for the
benefit of the city require the further
administration of a strong and able
executive.
Brunswick needs mayor who will
be able to devote much of his time 10
the city's affairs; who understands
thoroughly the financial condition of
the city and is in sympathy with the
plan Of eliminating the debt Inaugu-
rated by Mayor Dunwody ard 50 sue
cessfully carried ont by Mayor Mason ;
who is an avowed enemy of sOrehead-
ism and its town killing allies; who
represents no interests inimical to
those of brunswick and its people
who is energetic, hoaest, faithful to all
trusts and responsive to ali calls of
duty.
Such man, combining all these re-
quirements, is, it must be admitted
hard to find in any community, how
ever large. But there must be several
