as the gallows were hoisted in the
open streets and in conspicuous
places.

Mr.. Simmons spoke for three and a
half hours in support of the retemsion
of the present tariff, which, he main
tanned, was but a revenue rate.
Washington, April 3O.-The entire
time of the senate again yesterday
was given to the general discussion of
the tariff bill. Senator Rayner OF
Maryland led off with a general de-
nunciation of the protective system
of the Republican party. He was
followed by Senator Nelson of Min
ncsota, who made an earnest plea for
the admission of lumber free of duty.
His assertion aroused a quite general
discussion.
In an eleven-minute session the
house yesterday did not take I'D any
of the important business which will
have to be considered this session.
Washington May Am extended
speech by Senator McCumber favor
ing free lumber occupied several
hours in the senate yesterday His re
marks provoked an extended contro-
versy among advocates of a tariff on
lumber. Mr.. McCumber said that,

duty of congress to again submit the
question of the constitutionality of
the tax to the court.
Washington, May 5. - Notable
speeches, provoking debate of intense
interest characterized the session of
the senate yesterday. Senator Dolli-
yer of Iowa made an attack upon
methods under which protective tariff
bills are formed, and engaged in a
constant exchange of words with Sen
ator Aldrich, who was a careful lis
tener to the address of the Iowa SEN
ator. On the Democratic side sena-
tors remained mute, no member of
the minority interposing a word in
the controversy over the tariff, which
occupied the Republican senators
alone. At times this debate threaten
ed to be acrimonious, but the Iowa
senator was every ready with a hui
morous retort, which called forth
laughter at times when angty words
seemed unavoidable.

lection. Ben Butler publicly remarked
when he was in congress, that Jay Gould
would hang to a Broadway lamp post. II
he lived long enough, and when we recol-
lect the influence OF wealth In securing
favorable legislation for rich people II
is easy to see that spirit Of unrest Will
accompany the spirit OF envy as IL did In
the memorable days OF the French revo-
luton. until a crisis was reached.
AS President Andrew White once wrote:
Many wild doctrines among the poor
may be traced back to senseless osten-
tation among the rich"
A millionaire can buy his way into the
society Of London and Paris, and buy for
his daughter the infamy OF foreign al
lance. for so much cash In hand paid,
and the greedy reporter will add to their
notoriety by clarifying their tiaras and
Jewels. and all this senseless notoriety
adds TO the discomfort Of men and women
who are crowded into sorry. sicl<ly lodg~
ing places, or are burdened with debt and
taxation.
II this state Of things grows and con-
tinues. the institution OF property may
find itself insecure and the property Of
the United States may be checked and
imperiled by the socialistic idea Of an
equal distribution of wealth.
When communal France began its rev.
dictionary crusade. IL had no idea OF
placing the guillotine on the necks Of the
king and queen, and OF sentencing mobiles
to the scaffold because they had wealth
and landed estates. but the idea grew, and
spread.
The political consequences OF such ten
denotes are so plain that he who runs
may read.
This present tariff discussion. where Il
is shown that labor is used TO swell the
enormous profits of the manufacturers
as against the producer with the raw ma
terial. will produce a mischievous re-
suit.
The plutocratic actions of the majority
will stir the envious passions of the poor
TO a flame. II this concentration of cap
ital is not texed or made to relieve the
strain by a tax on bloated incomes anc
inheritances. The end can be seen from
the beginning It will be too late when
the deluge comes.

that It does not have to walk down or
around town. Street railway traffic was
resumed at an early hour and regular
schedules caught up before O'Clock.

poor shuttle steam trains and poorer dray
carry-alls. The poor man walked, the
weIl-to-do walked and the affluent walk
ed There was no alternative.
The serious side Of the two cays
traffic and disturbance lies in the loss to
the car companies in tariff fares, the
loss of wages to the union men, the loss
OF department store trade, salaries for
extra police and the general demoraliza-
ton OF business conditions throughout
the city. 1t has been estimated that
Monday alone brought the total cost OF
the strike close to $250,Ooe. -,

their points, while the car company IS
just as strong in the assertion shat II

BILE between the car company and men
had for once and all been done away

efforts the strike was amicabiy set
