JOHN WANAMAKER. He Again Arraigns Republicans e for Anti-Election Promise Speeches, which were ‘Only Empty Shells th New York. June 7.—John Wana- maker has no apologies to offer for his recent speech before the busi ness men of Philadelphia, ia which be arraigned the republican spell- - pinders for their false promises of coming prosperity if McKinley should be elected. Onthe contrary, he has rubbed salt into republicap re ye u b paralysie of business and bitter want of the unemploy ci r Fs ni love quietness and peace it is not possible for me to be indifferent or silent in the present condition of af- rf are only empty shells, without ker nels. However well meaning, or whoever it is who thinks he does that a million of workmen and their - children are hungry. The man who Jooke for bread in such speeches * will not have much to eat. The public haart cannot be fired by eloquence in this way just now, for the powder of patriotism is wet with the tears of suffering unem ployed. Give me hold of somebody's hand who will do something and not talk about it month after month. To keep work for the six thousand and more persons in my employ and tarn away from the seyeral hundred who apply daily and beg for the privilege of labor to keep the wolf from the door drives me into a fever and I must speak out. Any citizen has that right. I cannot eit on a fence with a stiff wind blowing and whistle for pros- perity, vanished bird of beautiful plumage, to come back. _ We ought to have a new, & better tariff;,but if we cannot get it, let us settle down on the old one and ad- just ourselves to it as best we can. Ifwe cannot move out of the old - house, we might build a wing to it or add another story.” ' . (This reference to the “old house” iedig at President McKinley, who reminded Mr. Wanamaker in a recent speech that “we cannot move out of “the old house until the new one is teady).” “A republican house has been in session since last December, and its ‘Tiddled tariff bill still tosses about at the other end of the capitol. If to be impatieat is unpatriotic, when the delays are so protracted and seemingly unnecessary in ad- justing these two great questions Uppermost in the public mind, then I must ask to be forgiven for mis- | counting the pulse of most of the | people that I meet. There are not a few who believe that since the war ne such exegency ‘fell upon the country as that which preceded the election of November, 1896. The spirit which moved the ople then is still alive.

TOR. é q The Senate's Daty, The question of Havemeyer's and Searles’s and Chapman's contempt of the Senate is not at all the important question. The imperative duty of the Senate is to find out what these men know. Have they bribed any Senator? If 80, who is he? Has any Serator sold his vote for “tips” on the market’ If so, who is he! Has any Senator secured his elee- tion by Sugar Trust contributions to a State legislative campaign’ If so, who is he! These are questions that involve the integrity and even the decent selfrespect of the Senate. That body has power to compel the men who know to answer. It should use that power resolutely.
