counts In very large measure for the
considerable reduction of 50, 49s, 1855
in the deficiency estimates submitted
and approved by the Executive.
The appropriations made during
the session in miscellaneous acts,
and additional to the sums carried
in the regular annual appropriation
acts, deficiency acts, and under per-
manent annual appropriations,
amount approximate to $3.50, 900,
which sums includes 81 ,239. 1885 for
the relief of sufferers from the floods
of the Mississippi River, $3.50, 600 for
emergency work in protecting the
levees OF that river, and $500 600 for
lifeboats and life-saving equipment
for the transport service Of the
Army. The whole amount carried
in these miscellaneous acts is 81 ,573,-
306.Sl less than was similarly appro.
priated at the last session and is
more than $40, 600, 900 less than was
thus appropriated at the correspond
ing or long session of the last Con-
gress.
The largest reduction made in any
one of the annual supply bills is
that made in the sundry civil bill; 1t
is decreased from SlI2 ,2Gj, 04I.l4 to
Sll2, 03g, 1910, or $50, % ,Sj9.74 less
than was appropriated by the act
for last year.
The fortifcation act shows great
er prOportionate decrease than any
OF the other service acts. 1t is re-
duced 81 ,l37 ,7I2 from "A previous to-
tai of s., 473, SO7, or more than 20 per
cent.
The pension act Is increased more
than any other, namely, from $751;
6S2 900 to 1863, lag, l4j.Si. This con-
siderable increase grows out of the
act passed at this session materially
increasing the rates of pension to
those who served in the Civil War
and in the War with Mexico.

DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.

The following from a speech by
Hon, John J. Fitzgerald of New
York, shows how the Democrats of
the president Congress reduced ex-
penses and kept their promise to re-
trench and reform:
The estimates of appropriations
for support OF the Government sub
mitted by the Executive to this SEES.
sion OF Congress amount in all to
81 ,0lO, 6lS, 22G.5j.
The appropriation made at this
session Of Congress amount to ST.
OBLIGED, 1896.
The latter sum is IA reduction of
S2l ,0l ,SS2.S9 under the estimates
and 81 ,046, 1896 under the appropri-
atoms made at the last session OF
the last Congress, which body was
controlled in both branches by the
Republican party.
Excluding the increase OF Sl2 ,j00,-
600 made under the new law for pen
siOns, the appropriations at this ses-
sion show reduction ofSl9, 546, 49,
O6 under the appropriation OF the
last session of the last Congress and
S33 ,5ll 49, 50 under the estimates ap.
proved and submitted by the Execu.
tive.
A further analysis OF the history
of appropriations at this session
shows that the committees of the
House charged with the preparation
of the regular annual supply bills
for the fiscal year reduced them $40.

The final odtcome in the confer

accepted only S27 ,597, 1860.

mates submitted and recommended
by the Executive. Deficiency acts

for deficiencies arising legitiniately

to carry large sums supplemental to

was held at Flat River last Thurs
day to consider the ACCESSIBILITY OF
placing a county ticket in the field.
No definite conclusion was reached
but the prevailing feeling was that
a ticket would be named. One of
the leaders was asked if he didn t
know that another ticket in the
field would give the county to the
Democrats, and he replied, Yes,

he didn't say expresses the feeling

largely responsible for the rapid
development of Southeast Missouri

The single takers pretend to believe
that by exempting all personal

would punish Mr.. Houck, who has

WASHINGTON LETTER


Washington correspondence of The Times.
Washington, Sept. lG.-F'urther
evidence OF how the multi.million-
aire wooden trust magnates "pro-
tect" their employees In return for
sufficient protection to allow them
to Overchsrge 90,000.0 900 American
consumers on every article OF cloth
ing they buy, is revealed in the ar
rest at Lawrence, Mass, OF William
NJ. Wood, head of the Wooden Trust.
Mr.. Wood Is charged with placing
dynamite in the homes of his So, So
and 81 a week foreign millworkers
in an attempt to discredit their cause
while they were on strike last
winter AS protest against a reduc-
tion of their wages.
Mr.. Woods arrest is worthy OF
the attention of every man, woman
and child in the country who wears
woolens. Because of the fact that
MIR. Wood and his fellow wooden
trust magnates contribute heavily
to Republican campaign fluids, Con
gress has been in the habit of plac-
ing the tariff on woolens high enough
to keep out all competition, so that
the wooden trust could be free to
charge any price they desired, up to
the limit of the ability of the people
to pay. The result is that Ameri.
cans are paying from thirty to one
hundred per cent more for wooden
clothing and blankets than the resi-
dent of Great Britain pays.
The story OF the career Of Mr..
Wood provides a curious paradox.
He is the oppresser of $50. 900 miser.
able New England textile workers;
few years ago he was one of them.
In his youth he felt the sting of
hunger himself, but now he is pitt
less in his thoughts of his employ.
ees. He has grown enormously
rich, but declares that from "a to 80
week IL enough for those who la
Dor In his mills. .-..,.. 80. '.
1t is said of many captains Of in
dustry that they are ignorant OF the
conditions of the workmen who earn
their fortunes for them; that II they
know the distress of their employees
they would seek to remedy il. Not
so with Wood. He knows. Their
distress he sees. Their cries he
hears.
Woods father was Portuguese
Jew emigrant. He labored In "A cot
ton mill and died of tuberculosis, II
disease common to cotton aud wool
spinuers. The fathers name is be-
lieved to have been Alphonse Lee
Hair, or LeNair.
When the wooden mill employees,
which are composed of ~ different
nationalities, most of whom cannot
speak in English, went on strike,
the fathers and mothers decided to
send their babes and little children
away to friends in other cities in or.
der that they might not suffer from
hunger during the strike. Mr..
Woods agents beat the women, and
tore the little ones from their moth
ers' arms when the children were
about to be placed on trains. Thus
did Mr.. Wood "protect" his en-
ployees.
Are the American people willing
to continue to contribute to MIR.
Wood by paying more FOR shoddy than
good wooden clothing sells for In
England? Or do they want the tar
iff on woolens reduced? There is
only one day every two years when
the consumers have an opportunity
to express themselves on this sub
ject. That day comes on November
5.
