CONGRESSMAN WILLIAMS
ON TWO GREAT ISSUES

Hon. w. Eliza williams. one OF the
democratic cougressmen-at-large from
Illinois. has made two notable speech
es on paramount issues during the
present session.
On the tariff Congressman Williams,
in the course OF his remarks. said:
''As the result of the issues Of the
last campaign, the tariff is 10 be re-
vised, and tina. revision is TO be down
ward. The democratic party is charg-
ed with the responsibility, and in keep
ing with its platform pledges and cam
paign promises is now engaged in a
good-faith effort 70 comply with the
mandate of the American people ex-
pressed at the polls. The democratic
party has always stood for u tariff for
revenue only, and insists that there is
no constitutional authority TO impose
taxes upon the people for any other
purpose. We are opposed 20 a protec.
tive tariff-that Is, 20 a tariff tax levied
for the purpose os fostering and en-
riching favored industries. A tax is
burdensome at best, but when that
burden is increased beyond the neces-
stiles Of the government economically
administered for no other purpose than
20 enrich few at the expense of the
taxpayer. Il becomes intolerable and
can not be justified. either legally or
morally. The opposition TO this bill
has not seriously contended that It
does not provide for sufficient revenue,
but It Is urged that IL will remove the
props from under the protective sys-
tenn and materially affect the profits
OF manufacturers. At the same tine

an old man who lived in an Indian Vii

One day the natives, eNaspcrated at his
conduct, put bm into a boat and let the
boat carry him over the falls. The boat
was, tradition says. turned 80 stone, and
is now a large rock at the foot Of the falls.

ter spirit of the murder, the woman
who said to a poor, weak, masculine
creature, "Go." And he went. "KiIl,"
and he Killed. ~'.'
So the Judgment of the brothers
and peers of this poor, weak, mascu-
line creature is that the woman-his
inferior legally be hanged by
the neck till she is dead!
Yet, if this woman stood before
the state of Connecticut, in any as
pect save that of a human being on
trial for crime, the state of Connec-
ticut would assume that the man, her
associate, was the master spirit and
she, the woman, a poor creature sub
iect to his will! .-. 49,
Now it would seem to be a matter
of common justice that if man rep
resents woman when the law is
MADE, he should also represent her
when the law is. BROKEN. It he takes
her place at the POLLS, he, should
take her place at the ScAFFOLD. If
women and men in Connecticut are
equal only before the judgment seat
which passes the death sentence, let
the man GEOGRAPHICALLY if, in order
to hang the woman, you have to
endoW her with SUPERIOR brain
power as the instigator and leader of
the crime done by the man!
1t is my personal opinion that the
state which, collectively takes human
life, whether by electricity, as they
do in New York, or by hanging as
they do in Connecticut, is morally
a great deal worse than any besotted
criminal, who, in the heat of passion,
or from the lure of money or the
primitive call of sex, commits a muir
der. 1t seems to me one of the few
of the humiliation of dis
franchisement that, so long as we
