BAlLEYS TARIFF VIEWS
BOTH HE AND CULBERSON AT
Tackled By MILLS.
IS OPPOSED TO FREE COINAGE OF SILVER
He Says 1t Cannot Restore Prosperity as Long
as Tariff Taxation is Kept Up.-S Severely
Araigns the State Demo-
cratic Hop,poEIoa
cratic Committee,
Especial to Post.)

Houston, Texas, March THE Texas
papers will tomorrow contain the with
drawal from the Senatorial contest OF
Senator r. O. Mills, senior Senator from
Texas, leaving the field clear to Coy
Culberson, Chairman Blake having to-
day published his withdrawal. The let
ter is full of ginger and severely assalls
the recent action of the Democratic State
executive committee in disfranchising
Democrats. 1t also denounces the tariff
views of Culberson and Bailey, and says
free coinage at sixteen to one where the
ratio is thirty to one is monometallism
and not bimetalism. He says:
Il supposed that the primaries would
he open to all Democrats, to express
their preferences for all officers to be
nominated by our party. The action
of the executive committee in disfran-
chising a large element of the party
was done to dictate the nomination of
certain others. The effect of this action
will be that not only those prescribed
will be excluded, but such discomfort
among other Democrats will be produced
that but few will attend them, and
these few will be adherents of the favor
ties intended to be benefited by the
exclusion.
.1rhe result will be as it was with the
Dudley primaries two years ago. and it
would be useless for me to appeal TO the
people when the Judgment TO be rendered
has already been determined. | therefore
announce to yOu that | am no longer o
candidate for reelection to the Senate.
He then goes ON to deny he has de-
serted bimetalism. and goes into his rec
ord at length, concluding by saying:
CANNOT RESTORE SILVER.
Now that the great body of the
commercial world has taken its stand
against silver. | do not believe it in the
power of the United States alone. by its
independent action. TO restore the value
of silver to par with gold at 10 TO L. !
believe that the United States can re-
store the demand which they with
drew, but do not believe that they can
restore the demand which was with
drawn by other countries when they
closed their mintS against silver
He then attacks the principle of tax
ing free raw materials, which is adyo-
Gated by Gov Culberson and by Con-
gressman Bailey. the Democratic leader
i'll the House. both of whom he mentions
by name. He concludes:
THE coinage of all the silver in the
world would accomplish no good while
exhaustive taxation is eating away the
life of the country day and night. 1t is
taxation that is stopping the wheels of
industry, keeping nmen out of employ
ment, forcing down the prices of farm
31roducts, forcing up the prices of manu-
facturers.. building up a moneyed aris-
tocracy, and tearing down the pillars
of the republic"

MONTGOMERY TO HAVANA.

Fern. an Unarmed Cruiser

Goes There Primarily to Relieve the
Fern, an Unarmed Cruiser
Washington. March THE decision
of the Navy Department concerning the
sending of ships to Cuba was made
known at o'clock this afternoon wheh
the following brief statement was post
ed by the Bureau of Navigation:
Montgomery will relieve the Fern mt
Havana Fern will carry provisions to
MatanzaS and Sagua La Grande"
This conclusion was reached after con-
ferenceS between the officials of the
State and Navy Departments. and Is un-
derstool' to he such an adjustment as
will not lead to further objection by the
Spanish government.
The Fern iS dispatch boat, without
heavy armament or guns, although she
belongs to the Navy and is technically
Il Naval vessel AS she comes rs near
being transport as anything in 0ur
Naval service. her selection will accord
with the Spanish suggestion that a
transport or merchant ship undertake
the carriage of relief supplies.
The sending of the ontgomery to
Havana is primarily intended to replace
the Fern, which is now at Havana. The
Montgomery is an unamOred cruiser of
2,0S9 tons, with an armament of ten
guns.
The plans of the Navy Department are
to have the Montgomery start for Ha-
yana at once. in order that the Fern may
return TO Key West in time To take on
the relief supplies reaching there next
"Wednesday. 1t will be the second visit
Of the Montgomery to Cuba, as she has
only recently returned from a "trip to
Santiago de Cuba and AIatanzas
Capt. Crowningsllield, chief OF the Bu.
tcau of Navigation. says that no time
has been fixed for the stay of th,, Mont
gomery at Havana as the only decision
thus far reached is that she will replace
the Fern there for the present.
The Montgomery Will be the firsr Uni
ted States warsbip at Havana since the

zH1Itle fdUs N. I. news: For
some years past whatever d republic
an paper was hard up for something
to say against the democrats, it
would point with PRIDE" to our
great tin plate industry that was
said to have been built up by repub-
lican foresight and wisdom Probab.
ly no one branch of manufacture has
received SO much attention from the
newspapers as this one, and time
after time it has been used as the
last argument to prove that protac-
4tion was benefit, when every other
proof cited bad failed. But the tin
plate( industry like others, has APP
pa'ently come to grief, and those
who have invested their money in it
are seeking to save themselves from
loss by forming trust and closing
down a large number of the tin plate
factories absorbed by them, throw
ing large number OF people out of
work, and forcing them to seek EN-.
ployment in .ther lines of business
and thus disturb the labor market.
The tin plate industry furnishes one
of the best arguments that can be
pr occurred in proof Of the soundness of
the democratic theory On the tariff
question. Most democrats were quite
willing to have a moderate tariff
placed upon it for the sake OF en-
couraging new industry, but the
republicans insisted that the rate
should be a high one, for those who
were willing to invest in it were not
ready to do so unless they saw a
chance to get rich quick. The re-
publicans carried their point; tin
plate mills went up all over the count
ry at rapid rate and even the low
ering of the tariff by-a democra tic
administration did not check the
growth. Then therepublicans again
took charge of public affairs and
once more the tariff went up and the
number Of mills with it. Now comes
the reaction. The only way to make
money nowis by reducing the number
OF plants which the trust proposes to
do, and then they will make the peo-
pie settle and they will have to pay,
for the high tariff Ike. ps out foreign
competition and places the people at
the mercy OF the home manufacturer,
who will willingly sell his wares
abroad at a much lower price than
TO home consumers. =, .:
