House Holds a Brief Session.

Washington, March 1S.--It was voted
at this mornings meeting of the full
committee of ways and means to report
the tariff bill to the house tomorrow.
The Democratic members opposed the
action vigorously, pleading for more
time to examine the measure. y large
number of amendments We're offered by
the minority, especially by Mr.. McMil-
Ian. The most important one was that
substituting the wool schedule of the
present law. Another amendment Of
tered Ivy Mr. Mcmillan struck from the
bill the proviso which stipulates that
the Hawaiian sugar reciprocity treaty
shall not be affected by the proposed
new law. Although at least one or two
Republicans are known to favor abrO-
cation Of the treaty, they voted with
the majority, and Mr.. McMillan's
amendment was defeated, as were all
those offered by the minority.
The debate on the tariff bill will be
gin Monday, and the final vote in the
house will be taken March 81.

EXAMPLE, FOR THE SENATE.
BY avoiding complications which
might arise If the legislative mill
should be thrown open to an indiscrim-
mate grind, the house leaders believe
they can materially expedite final ac-
tion in the senate by rendering delay
in the upper branch of congress on the
tariff all the more conspicuous by the
prompt action of the house.
The house was in session today only

sumed in the reading of the journal
The galleries were filled in anticipation
of the opening Of the tariff debate, but
Mr.. Henderson, of Iowa, announced
that the ways and means committee
would not be ready to report the meas

IOWA COMMUNICATION.

Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 20, 1897.
From what has been said in these
Iowa letters it may be inferred that the
middle of-theroad Populists are attract
Ing by far more attention than any of
the other parties. Our bolt from the fu-
sion convention; the resignation of five
of the fusion state committee; our con-
vention of August 10Th, and the filing of
our ticket, together with the attempt
by the Democrats to enjoin us from go
ing on the ballot as the Peoples party,
have formed chapters in our political
history that the people have read with
breathless interest. The Democrats had
first sought by belittling our movement,
to kill it. All the names of county
chairmen, secretary and township COM
mittee men being in the possession Of
Democrat Bellanger, and the names Of
thousands of Iowa Populists being in the
possession of the Farmers Tribune,
which paper has supported the Demo-
Gratis since last election, they were able
to by Misrepresentation, induce many
Populists to believe all sorts of lies.
Their first Misrepresentation was that
the bolt consisted of q men out of 1000,

GRAIN MARKETS,

Wheat-There is little or no change to
report in the market for the past week;
prices are trif1e lower. owing to the heav-
Ter receipts here in the Northwest which
has a tendency to depress prices. Every
thing else outside of this is al bulish as at
any time during the past two months
Foreigners are good buyers of cash wheat
on all little breaks will be seen by the
weekly exports, which amount to about
b,ooo,o0o bu for the past month or two On
the breaks buy this wheat and be satisfied
with small profit for the time being
Corn-The danger being past in the corn
belt from frost, prices have sagged off on
selling by longs and hammering by the
bear element to depress prices to cover
their short lines. We do not look for much
Of bull movement in the corn pit for
little while; exports for the past three
weeks have been over 100000 bu. with
good foreign demand. On the breaks buy
both corn and oats but like wheat we do
not look for much activity or a wide range
In prices, and buyers should be satisfied
with a small profit
Pork-Has held steady. comparatively
with the other markets. Shorts are afraid
to sell short. and buyers are inclined to
wait the outcome Of the yellow fever in
the South Now is the time to buy on all
these little declines.

The facts are that the bolt consisted of
AZ representing 300 delegates, or one
third of the entire convention. Since
that time enough of those delegates who
remained in the convention have joined
our movement to have made almost a
majority. Their second and most bare
faced assertion has been that we were
in the employ of the Republicans and
that our campaign expenses were paid
by that organization. They have in
duced many Populists to believe this and
of course were such the case our move
ment would not deserve success. These
are the two things they have urged most,
but they have taken every opportunity
to misrepresent and deceive, and as un-
til lately we did not possess the names
of the Populists in the state, we could
not reply effectively to their charges.
During the three weeks just passed the
state committee have been very busy
cllecting names and quietly effecting Or
CARNATIONS in the various counties, and
the campaign from now on will be very
effective. Our speaking campaign opens
this week and will be very vigorously
prosecuted, as indicated in these col
nmns heretofore. The Democrats are
suiting their campaign to the peculiar
politics of each district and county.
They are keeping Gen. Weaver and Cy-
clone Davis out of the gold districts and
1Scfc hut
they are not meeting with very warm
receptions from our people and they are
very much discouraged because of this.
Last week Gen. Weaver made a speech
at Alton, Iowa, heretofore one of the
strongest Populist localities in the state;
although the meeting had been we'll ad-
vertised, no hall had been secured for
the speaker and no one met the general
at the depot. The Populists stayed
away from the meeting, the Democrats
refused to father it, hence, private cit
izen had to secure wagon from which
the twice presidential candidate spoke
to small audience. Gen. Weaver went
away very sour and Disguised. 1t is
said that this is fair sample of the
receptions he is meeting. Cyclone Da-
Wis pathway has not been strewn with
roses Davis is taking peculiar attitude
To the writer he stated that upon COM
ing to Iowa. he had informed Gen.
Weaver that he, Davis, would take no
side in the Iowa contest, but would
merely confine himself to making Popu-

list speeches. The writer heard Davis
list address, covering every plank of the
Omaha platform. The audience was
composed wholly Of Republicans and
Populists. The Democrats stayed
away and when asked why
they did not attend, would
say, This is not our meeting The
address made votes for the middle-o Of
the-road Populists, for it showed very
effectively the radical difference be-
tween Democracy and Populism. Upon
the conclusion Of the address we so in
formed Mr.. Davis, and advised him
to continue in the line of his Winterset
speech, and he replied that he would
make the same speech everywhere he
spoke.
Bryan will soon enter this state for
an extended tour, but so far as we have
been able to learn, he will confine his
speeches to the silver districts. One
would naturally suppose that Walsh
would want to send Bryan where he
could convert some of the gold stand
ard Democrats, but such is not the case.
He is arranging to send Bryan to the
Populist and silver districts. All these
things confirm a we'll grounded suspic-
Ion in the minds of our people to the
effect that the Democrats care little for
free silver, but are merely maneuvering
to eradicate other reform organizations
and thus give to them clear field, and
the sole opposition to the Republicans.
They are not trying to convert any one
in this campaign. They are not both
ering the gold men. In the first five
districts of the state they are expecting
and receiving the gold Democratic sup
port, they keep the free silver speakers
out of this territory. In the other six
! where Populism and silver sentiment
abounds they are very radical. Their
campaign is being conducted along the
line of hypocrisy and deceit. Populists
are finding this out and are abandoning
movement that was conceived in in
iquity and brought forth in fraud.

MIR. KEITH FOR SCHOOLS.

II the Country is Kept Ignorant the Big
Cities Will Always Dominate the Coun-
try.
To the Editor: AS my paper CThe New
Era) will not be issued again before a
popular vote will decide the fate of the
school tax, / request you to allow me
little space in your valued paper to de-
fine my position, which seems to be mis-
understood by my fellow citizens.
| do not wish to be understood as ad-
vocating an extra school tax for any city
that has an extra school tax already, and
is thus put into a position to keep eight
or nine months of the year the schools
open But / do believe that an extra
school tax would be the best thing for
the people in the country (who have
neither the extra school tax, like some ci-
ties, or the advantage of an eight months
school term connected therewith).
l believe that he politicians and news
papers who urge the people to vote
against the school tax for the f1ippant
reason that district schools would be
better, will soon find out that they are
misleading the people Gf they don't
know it already, because it is blank
nonsense to reject six or eight months
schooling per year in order to wait on an
uncertain vote for district schools two
years hence.
Railroads, owners Of large tracts of
land, etc., in one word the rich are con-
tributing the lion share toward the edu-
cation of poor children, if the country
districts vote for an extra school tax.
The system may have its faults, but as it
is the only way offered at present to edu-
cate the poor children in the country, it
seems almost a crime to vote against it.
All defects can be mended later on,
when they become apparent and the
legislature meets again. At present the
proposed law would certainly be bless
| ing for the country districts or town.
ships wherever the majority of the COM
mittee are honest and intelligent enough
| to properly manage the schools.
| l am well aware that ignorant partisan
spirit will defeat the measure in most
townships, but the people will soon find
out their mistakes; because if the country
| is kept ignorant the large cities will DOM
mate and rule more than ever, and the
seed Of antagonism and hatred will clog
the wheels of progress, for progress is
only possible when city and country
work harmoniously together.
