Senator Clark of Montana gave place at

follows:
HELENA, Mont, January 16 1899.
Hon. S. S. Hobson:
Dear Sir: In reply to your valued favor
of this date, requesting me to define my
position on the tariff question. | beg to
state that ! am in favor of a high protec-
tive duty on wool, lead hides and on every
other product of this state in order that
producers of raw material shall get an
equitable advantage in the distribution of
tariff duties. 1t is manifest that the pres
ent schedule is inadequate to discharge the
expenses of the government and there will
necessarily have to be ar. increase and a re-
adjustment.
THE manufacturing interests are entitled
to enough to protect them against cheap
foreign labor, and they should be satisfied
to allow the producers of raw material to
have an equal advantage.
Il maintain that no representative of this
state in the national Congress should allow
himself to be committed by caucus
otherwise to any policy that would be in
conflict with or prejudicial to the interests
of the state.
Yours sincerely,

DISTRICT APPROPRIATIONS
House Subcommittee Commences Preparing
the Bill
officials VIII Urge Against Radical
Cuts on Account of the
Deficit.

The subcommittee of the House appropri-
ations committee having charge of the Dis
trict of Columbia appropriation bill, of
which Mr. Grout of Vermont is chairman
net this morning and commenced consid-
Grafton of the bill. The District Commits
sioners, Tax Collector Davis and Auditor
Petty appeared before the subcommittee.
The consideration of the estimates in rou-
tine order was commenced, and daily ses-
sions will be held until the bill is completed
The question of the deficit in the District
revenues was touched upon today, but the
discussion of this feature of the local stu
alton was brief.

The Lowest bidder.

The Penn Bridge Company of Beaver
Falls was the lowest bidder, at $50, 1877, for
constructing machine shop building
at the Mare Island navy yard, California.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1900-02-19
Against Any Radical Cuts,

1t is understood that the friends of the
District will urge the subcommittee not to
make any radical cuts in the estimates on
account of the deficit. In the first place it
is pointed out that one-hah of the deficit
growing out of the street extension will be
returned to the District revenues, the sums
assessed against the property owners. 1t
is true that five years time may be re-
quired to refund these amounts, but they
will necessarily come back.
1t has been suggested to the subcommit-
tee that it would be possible, therefore. as
an alternative to reducing the necessary ap-
preparations, for the United States to ad
vance the District the amount of the
deficit. to be paid back in five annual in
stallments, one-half of which will come
from the assessed property owners ada
cent to the street extensions.
The Commissioners will earnestly object
to cutting down the necessary appropria-
tions for the support of the District. As
yet, however, the question of the deficit
has not been formally dealt with and all
propositions are but tentative.
