judge Fuckers Great Speech.

! Recently Judge w. w. Rucker of
Missouri delivered an exceedingly
strong speech in the house on the tariff
question. He presented official figures
which completely overthrow several Of
the stand pat contentious. It's pity
that every voter in America cannot
read the judges speech, like old man
Harper Of Kentucky used to run his
horses-"from eend to eend." 1t would
be a great vote getter, because he so
thoroughly buttresses his proposition
with facts which cannot be denied that
his speech would of necessity create a
profound impression on the readers
thereof. OF course / have room here
only for brief extracts. Inter ALA the
Judge said:
Apparently, almost persuaded by the
conclusions of Mr.. Curtis and thoroughly
and unalterably convinced by the irresist-
ible logic of his own argument, the gall
liant leader from Ohio [Mr. Crossword,
/ after hurting deliberate challenge to
gentlemen on the other side of this ques-
| ton, continues:
1T ts the imperlshable record of more
! than lie years that the American people
prosper under high tariffs and suffer I'M
/ der low TARIFFS
| 1 accept his challenge and deny the
propositions so boldly asserted and so
| ingeniously and eloquently defended Sta
| ttsttcs do not and will not justify and sup
port the gentleman's contentious; but, on
the contrary, they conclusively. emphat-
1cally and overwhelmingly contradict
| them, as shall attempt to show.
The Walker, or Democratic, tariff en-
| acted in 1886, was in force until 1857 when
an act was passed reducing tariff rates,
and this act was in effect until 1861 The
gentleman quotes, with approval, the con-
illusions Of Mr.. Curtis that the Walker
tariff was "ruinous" and the act of 1857
was bankruptcy"
In 1861 the Morrill, bill, the first protec-
tive tariff law, was enacted, followed by
various other measures, each in turn in
creasing the rates Of duty and giving
higher protection, which continued until
1870. The gentleman says these We're all
beneficial
In 1870 still higher rates of duty were
! imposed. In 1872 the tariff law was
amended and duties lowered to please .re-
formers" as alleged, by making an 'in-
furious" reduction of 10 per cent.
The act of 1872 was repealed in 1875, thus
restoring the high tariff law of 1870 which
continued In operation until 1885,
The commission appointed by President
arthur IN 1883 reported a measure maxi
Ing slight reductions in the law of 1870,
and this bill was passed and remained In
force until 1890. when the Mckinley bill,
imposing the highest rates up to that
date, was enacted.
In 1887 the Wilson-Gorman law was re-
pealed and the Dingley bill enacted, which
Is the highest tariff measure ever passed
by congress. This law is now In force
and the gentleman says 1t is beneficial"
To sum the whole matter up in few
words, 1 feel justified in saying we had
revenue tariffs from 1916 to 1861 and have
had protective tariffs since that date
In this connection, Mr.. Chairman, 1 will

tics.

Another Primary Measure In.
A new primary bill was introduced
by Representative Flenniken, to go
into effect next year, so that it may
not affect the present contest in any
way. The bill provides for the plu-
rality primary in counties, identical
with the system in vogue in about
half of the counties of the state now.
1t provides for primary election for
governor, treasurer, auditor and secre.
tary of state and for railroad commits
sioners only 1t does not apply to the
other state officers. 1t does not apply
to any judicial officers. 1t provides
that if candidate for state or
district Office receives in excess of one
third of the total vote he shall be
the nominee; otherwise it goes into
the convention. 1t is extremely SIM
pie in its operation and appeals to the
members of the legislature and politi-
clans as being an extremely liberal
bill.

Estimated national wealth.

These figures show that from 1850 to
1860, under alleged ''ruinous" and bank
ruptcy" tariff laws our national wealth
increased over 126 per cent from 1850 to
1870, under moderate protection, it increas-
ed over So per cent; from 1870 to 1880, un-
| DER higher tariff, little over As per cent
from 1880 to $780, under still higher tariff,
only 40 per cent, while from 1890 to 1900,
under the beneficial influence of the
highest tariff we ever had, the increase
was only Do per cent-the lowest per cent
| OF increase in any census period in fifty
years of national life
From 1850 to 1860. under Democratic tar
If, the value of farm property increased
over 100 per cent, but from that time to
this hour the per cent Of increase in the
value OF farm property has steadily de-
creased with each ten years until it was
only " per cent from 1890 to 19OO-the low
est OF any period in the last fifty years,
except that covering our great civil war
Ihese hgures also show that in 1850 the
value OF farm property in the United
states was $4OO, 900, more than one-half
OF the total wealth Of this republic In
| 1850 farm property represented nearly one
half Of our total wealth and in 1870 nearly
one-third. With each succeeding period
since 1860 the tariff has leaped higher and
higher, and the relative value of farm
property has sunk lower and lower, until
In 1900 the value Of all farm property was
only little more than one-ffth Of our
national wealth.
In 1880 over IA per cent Of all the farms
In the United States were occupied and
operated by owners. In 1900, after twenty
years Of the kind of unprecedented pros
perity that comes from high protec-
ton, the small farm owner disappeared
and made way for the tenant, and the
result is that the number of farms oper-
ated by owners was reduced to GA per

is that the New York. New Haven and

OHIO SENATOR IS VERY MUCH EXCITED

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator
Foraker was the first choice this af-
ternOOn and resumed the fight for the
consideration of the resolution direct
ing an Investigation into the Browns
vile affair. He critisized the presi-
dent and declared the executive mis-
construed his powers and misconceived
the testimony. He took up each arti-
Gle of war and discussed the situa-
tion as he considers it at length.
Foraker got excited and said he
wanted the witnesses to testify under
oath before the senate committee.
Lodge said he didn't think the pres
ident, secretary of war or the army
officers should reach such a momentous
decision hurriedly and said from the
documents held in his hand the Twen-
ty-fifth Regiment had "shot up" four
other towns previously.
The senate adjourned to January 8,
and Foraker's resolution went over un-
til after holidays.

had been begging Of different people
this morning before he went into the

this money was the evidence Of Cau-

He informed the officers he was go

they knew a better place for him to
sleep and he was taken to Jail.
The goods were taken this morning
by the Indian who slipped them under
his robe. The clerks became suspi-
cious Of his actions and sent the Do
lice after him.

The rescue party is now directly
