Tariff Bill Passed and Congress
Adjourned.

That most abominable of all mi.

the Congress of the United States,

The vote by which this robber Ia
riff was engrafted OH the statutes
of the United States was 40 10 80,
the junior Senator from Louisiana,

cans. The effect of this bill will
not be to restore prosperity, by
heating the furnaces Of anguish
ing manufacturing and other en-.
ierprses, but to still further rob
and pauperize The masses for tho
benefit Of the favored few, by com
polling them to pay increased tax

Condemns. the Tariff Bill.

Detroit, Mich., July 2l.-Govcr.
nor pingree to-day wired the fol.
lowing message in duplicate to
President Mckinley, Senator Bur.
rows and Congressman Cprliss
and Svaul''inG, Of Michigan:
~ regard the duty on lumber,
hides aud sugar as un-Rerub'ican,
unpatriotic aud u fair, Ilo Jun.
hcl now used goes largely into
small homes and farm houses aud
to n class already greatly over
taxed. The l,borer wears twice AS
manly shoes as the millionaire and
must contribute twice as much for
the tax on hides. He must use rs
much sugar and pay as much to.
ward the duty on sugar. 1t is
grossly unfair to make the poor
pay as much per capita as the rich
toward the support of the govern
ment. Property and not human
stomachs should be reached. Pro
perry is protected 10y our laws and
should pay ior its protection.
IL. S. pINGREE."
The above disapproval of the
Republican tariff bill by Governor
Plngree, OF Michigan, no doubt,
voices the sentiment of all except
protected Republicans.

THE WAR GOVERNORS.
Senator Isham G. Harris Was Il Suryi.
yivor of a Celebrated
Group.

UfOup.
In his brief eulogy in the Senate
of the career and achievements Of
his late associate, Senator Isham
&. Harris, Senator Bate, of Ten
nessee, used the following Ian
snage:
"Alr. President-Senator Harris
belonged to that class of historic
characters in this country known
as war Governors. lie is the last
but one Of that class upon either
side, North or South, who took All
active participation and presided
over sovereign State during that
interstate struggle"
Senator Bate did not specify tho
now "surviviug war Governor" to
whom he alluded and there is some
doubt us to whom he meant by
this allusion, but the fact is that
IsIlam Il. Harris is certainly the
most illustlious of the war Cover
,,ors on the Confederate side, and
by reason of his vigor and zeal he
was certainly inclined to take rank
with some Of the best known Of
the Northern war Governors
There were eleven such Governors
in the South: Isham G. Harris, of
Tennessee, for twenty years Uni.
ted States Senator; Hebulon T.
Vance, of North Carolina, a Dem.
ocratic idol in that State, aud for
nearly, if not quite, twenty years a
United States Senator; Joseph e.
Brown, of Georgia; John Milton,
Of Florida; John Gill Shorter, of
Alabama; Harris Flanagan, Of Ar

and Jacob Thompson, Of Mississip.
