12 THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1894-TWELVE PAGES. THE DEBATE BEGUN On the Wilson Tariff Bill in the House. a HR. WILSON STARTED THE DISCUSSION His Explanation of the Purposes of the Measure. THE NIGHT SESSION After the adoption of the resolution to take up the tariff bill yesterday Mr. Wilson of West Virginia, chairman of the commit- tee on ways and means, took the floor and | started the discussion. After reviewing the disposition of the :ur- plus of $185,000,000 which the former dem- ecratic administration left in the treasury, and which, he said, had been used for the redemption of bonds at high premiums and appropriated by the Fifty-first Congress, he continued: In 180, under the law of 1883, the average tax on manufactures of woolen goods was Gv.12 per cent. Under the law of 1800 the average tax was $iU on the $1W0 worth of | woolen goods consumed in this country. It is charged and never dented in the ¢e- bate on the bill of ISS that the cotton schedule was made by a New England man- ufacturer and an expert appraiser in the custom house in New York. The manufac- turers received what they had asked for; but under the McKinley bill there was a taxation. of 57 per cent—$l7 more on the 100 upon the cotton goods worn by che peo- ple of this country. A great iton master, Mr. Oliver of Pitts- burg, was a prominent member of the tariff commission; and so the tariff of ISX} was perfectly satisfactory to the iron and s‘eel manufacturers of this country. But while they were thus content, while they were al- lowed to Make their own rates, which, in the year bbfore, the McKinley bill averaged 35 per cent on the hundred dollars, the sys- tem adopted in the McKinley bill averaged Jast year 62 per cent on the hundred dollars, | an increase of taxation upon the American people of $27 on every $1) worth of tron and steel goods consumed by them. What the Tariff of 1890 Represented. The tariff of 1890 represented not only a high and liberal protection, but it repre- sented all that greed, and selfishness, and rapacity dared to demand of the American people. (Applause on the democratic side.) To iilustfAte, Mr. Wilson showed a piece ef cloth, worth about thirty-two cents a yard, on which the act of 1890 placed a tax of 363 per pe $3 tax on $i worth of goods. So that the poor woman in New York or anywhere in thts country who,by earn- ing fifty cents a day at her labor, is able to buy $1 wort: of this material must work six days longer to make the McKinley taxes to take it out of the custom house. (Ap- plause on the democratic side.) Today, | notwithstanding the high rate intentionally left in this bill, there had been a call for the woolen manufacturers of this country to meet in New Yerk on Wednesday next to protest against a bill which leaves them a 40 per cent tax on their products. ‘The English landlords, who, when famine was slaying its tens of thousands in Ire- land, made a protest against relieving food from taxation, are the prototypes of the gentlemen who will meet in New York the day after tomorrow. (Applause on the demo- cratic side.) Now, when disease and discontent, when cousumption and pneumonia and grip are stalking abroad in all the land, when there are millions of men, women and children incurring daily risks of death and daily risk of diseases,and permanent loss of their productive energies when thousands and tens of thousands are fighting the cold in their nightly slumber because there is no heat in the tax put on blankets, these gen- tiemen who made the law of 1882 and 1sw are to meet in New York city to protest against your doing anything for the relief of the American people from this cruel, in- human system of taxation. (Applause on the democratic side.) : Free Elemental Materials. The committee on ways and means had endeavored to meet the duty entrusted to them as far as they could by releasing from taxation those great interests on which the industrial prosperity and weil cing of the American people were most dependent. Of all the reductions made in this proposed bill there are none in their beneficence to the labor of our country that ean be compared with the release of tax- ation on the materials of industry. ‘They felt that they could not begin to reform this system, built up story upon story unul it pierced the clouds, unless they boldly and honestly and unselfishly sought to re- lieve from taxation the great fundamental materials of American industry. And so the bill proposed to put upon the free list, among other materials, those great ele- mental materials of industry, wool, iron ore, coal and lumber. (Applause on the democratic side.) Twice in recent Congresses the battie over free wool had been fought and twice it had been gained in this House. All the Yeasons for it, all the reasons against it, had been presented to the American people. it had become at last, during two or three Past campaigns, an acknowledged part of the democratic scheme of reform, whenever they undertook to reform the tariff. He believed that if every other feature of the bill were abandoned or reversed, if we could simply carry through a bill putting Wool on the free list and reducing the taxes en woolen goods, a great, beneficent, revo- Iutionary step would have been taken in the work of tariff reform that would justify all the efférts we have put forth. (Ap- plause on the democratic side and slight manifestations of derision on the republi- can side.) However tenderly they (the democrats) might act now in reversing re- publican processes, he, for one, wanted to see this battle go on in this country until the time should come when no taxpayer should pay a single, dollar that should not | go straight, undiminished into the tax- payers’ treasury. (Applause on the demo- | cratic side.) If that be revolutionary, make the most of it. (Renewed applause.) If ever a protective tariff had full oppor- tunity to display its beneficent working: if it has any, the tariff upon woolen goods and upon wool has had that opportunity. From is67 down to the present time the wool grower on the one hand and the pro- ducer of woolen goods on the other have in union and in accord made their own tariff irrespective pf the interests of all the other people of this country. From the time that they met in New York in Is6é7 down to the present time and adjusted their tariff taxes upon wool and if compensating taxes upon woolen goods, if Baal could send the fire of prosperity, they have calle? upon him and have had free opportunity to te: his power. And yet, he would be a hardy man who weuld arise in this House and say that the wool grower had prospered, tne | production of wool in this country had pros- pered under all the favoritism and all the protection. He would be a hardy man who | would rise in this House and say that even | the McKinley bill, with its increase of taxes on woolen goods and its prohibitory taxes upon everything that it was thought could interfere with the use of wool in this country, had been of any benefit whatever to the American wool grower. The Price of Wool. He did not hesitate to say that even if by protection upon wool the price of that ! appointment raised for the mutton, for the carcass and not for the wool in all sections of the coun- try today where agriculture has become profitable and where the population has be- come fixed. The production of wool, the raising of great flocks of sheep for the wool that they produce has steadily gone west- ward. It had been a pioneer industry, and as population and agriculture have caught up with it it has moved farther westward, and woolgrowing on a large scale would eventually find its home only in those great rainless ranches and ranges of the west which could not be brought under agricultural tillage. There is no country of the world likely to send a pound of wool to these United States that can produce it more cheaply than the people who do have their flocks upon the great ranches and ranges»of the west. Nowhere in the world from which any wool would come to compete with us, could woolraising be carried on more cheaply, under more favor- able circumstances than it is carried on in Texas. - Tron a Steel. If there is any one great industry to which. we could throw down today the tariff laws and defy the world and march forth to acquire new fields, it is the great iron and steel industries of this country. (Applause). The ccnsumption of iron and steel is the test of civilization; the consumption of iron and stee! is a test of the material progress of any country; and all the other countries of the world put together have not kept up to the progress of the United States in the development of these great industries in the last few years. The whole world’s production of pig iron in 1818 was but little over 14,000,000 tons. The United States aione produced in 1502 over 9,000,000 tons. In 1878 our entire prod- uct was a little over 2,WvU,v0U; our entire product in recent years has reached, uf it has not gone beyond, 10,0v0,00U tons. That has been due to the fact that here in this great undeveloped country of ours, where with the little population today that in- habits it we are but running to and fro to find out what resources it possesses we have but found all along the Apalachian branch range of the south, all around the great lakes of the north, deposits of iron ore so rich, so easily worked, so accessible to other materials that we have reached the point where we can produce iron ore, in Minne- sota, in Michigan, in Wisconsin, in Alaska, and perhaps at other points in this country cheaper tnan it can be produced anywhere else in all the world. With the rich deposits upon the surface, close to the seaboard in many places, within a few miles of coal in other places, with the improved methods of mining, with electricity, with the steam shovel, with all the inventions that always accompany the march of a great developing industry, ror ore could be loaded upon the boats on the lakes or upon the cars in other parts of the country at less than one-half the cost of getting it to the pit mouth in most of the countries where heretofore we have looked for competition. So true is it, then, that the tax upon iron ore is no longer needed to protect us who have the largest product of all the world, so true is it, that any little stream of foreign cre that might come into this country from Cuba or elsewhere would only increase the use of our domestic ores in combination with ‘t; so true is all this, that for the timidity and selfishness that comes from thirty years of leaning, or supposed lean- ing, upon a tariff for protection, the great iron masters of this country might today boldly say: “Throw down the wall. Rot only supply this country, but we will go out and build up other great countries in this respect.” It is true today, that 200,000,- oo of the people of this carth use nearly all of its iron. The people of the United States, France, Belgiuin, Germany and Eng- land use ‘ per cent of all the iron and steel that is used in the world, and the other 1,- 200,000,000 of people use only the remaining Ww per cent. We have reached what has been cailed the steel age. We are using steel not only in building up our great rali- way system, not only in building our great ships for transportation on the lakes and on the sea, but as the common structural ma- terial of our dwelling houses, as the bridge material on our country r every Americen village of 5 inhabitants teday has its street railway, and has be- come a consumer of iron and steel. down in South America, off in Asia, off in Russia, off in Africa, among all the other 1,200,000,000 of the world, the coming of the iron age is at hand. Out of our boundless supply, out of our Apalachian range, out of the range of Birmingham and in’ Vir- ginia and in West Virginia, we can get the material by which we can go out into all the countries in the world and build their railroads, build their cities, build ships, und contribute to their elevation and their prosperity and their power to con- sume, which sali make an indefinite mar- ket for all the fabrics of iron and steel and other things that we make in this country. (Applause.) Coal and Lumber. After explaining why coal and lumber were put on the free list he said that the question of wages was the vital question of all this agitation about tariff reform. He expressed himself as willing to base the whole controversy on the consideration of this question of wages alone. If protection increased wages, made work for the iabor- ing peopte and improved the well being of the American laborer he would hereafter be a protectionist. But neither reason nor experience gives maintenance to any such idea. The wages of labor are paid from the products of labor. The general pro- ductiveness of every country’ determines the wages of the laboring people of that country. The generai intelligence of the laboring people of a country aiso in equal measure determines the wages of the lubor- ing people of that country. We have higher nominal daily wages in this country ‘than elsewhere—first, because we ure a great, new country in an era of development, and, secondly, because we have the most intel- ligent, self-respecting laboring man in ail the world, and any industry that cannot maintain itself except by taxation qn the people of the country instead of increasing the rate of wages to the extent of its pro-| tection diminishes the wage rate of all peo- ple of the country. (Appiause on demo- cratic side.) fivery industry that tes for support, that calls upe us upon taxation the law to make the consumers of its products pay more than they would otherwise be obliged to pay for them, whatever we may call it, is a pauper industry supported Ly the self-sup- porting industries of the country. (Applause on democratic side). tven if it were true that the tariff up the protective mentioned in its schedule was made Purpose of protecting the Ame: er, and giving him certain wages, possible that a tari! which ur closest and most accurate analysis only } touches in that way the wages of 5 per cent of the laboring people of the country could | increase the wages of the other 95 per cent? (Applause). So far from maintaining wages, the effect of the protective system has been to lower the wages of all. the industries of the country.

A very slight tariff was left upon the; More expensive wool, costing over 20 cents | a pound abroad, and suddenly there was | such a revival and such a growing prosper- | ity of woolen manufacturing in this coun- try that the price of domestic wool went higher than it had been for years before. He did not doubt that the gentieman from Michigan (Mr. Burrows), with his usual eloquence of lamentation, would dwell on the destruction that is just ahead for the woolgrowers of this country if we release the people from the taxes upon the wool that goes into their garments. Any one who followed the production and the his- tory of wool growing in this country would find that, like the star of empire, it has steadily moved westward. There were, per- haps. not one-half as many sheep east of the Mississippi river today as there have been at previous times in the history of this country. Very few men, indeed, on the tillable in- habited lands east of the Mississippi river Bow raise sheep for wool at ali.

ALEXANDRIA. The Alexandria corporation court contin- ues its session. So little crime has been committed here within the last three months that the grand jury found no ma- terial upon which to base indictments, and adjourned without adding any case to the criminal docket of the court. On the civil side of the court a decree has been made in the case of Violett against Kramer refer- ring the case to Commissioner Callahan to adjust certain accounts. The case of Bal- lenger against Nugent has been referred to a commissioner. In the case of Skidmore against Skidmore A. W. Armstrong has been appointed guardian of infants in the suit. On the probate side of the court the will of Wm. H. Burgess has been probated and Wm. H. Smith appointed administra- tor. Considerable opposition has been mani- fested to any subscription by the city council to rebuilding Hunting Creek bridge. The bridge is, however, a valuable feeder to the trade of Alexandria, and if the city council can afford to do so and the charter permits, the investment would be a good one for Alexandria to make. The annual meeting of the Independent Fire Insurance Company of Fairfax couhty took place here today and Mr. C, Lukens was chosen president and R. H. Havener, secretary, with the other officers and co mittees. The company paid last year $7,211 for fire losses. Judge Norton has chartered the Brown Automatic Car Coupling Company, with A.

HAVOC AT THE FAIR, (Continued from Ninth Page). directly above the French wares, and, fall- ing heavily, buried them beneath the burn- ,ing pile and they were abandoned. Back jof the French was the Japanese exhibit, | and about it clustered a crowd of scared ; 2nd frantic Japanese. This, like many ex- j hibits, has not been released from bond, and the goods could not be taken from the building. Under the direction of some Jap- anese officials, the wares were carted to , the doors and there they stood guarded by natives of the Flowery Kingdom, who sor- rowfully awaited the destruction that seemed inevitable. All of the American exhibits had long ago been removed, but the |formalities of the custom house ‘had de- j tained the goods of the foreigners. i Frantic Exhibitors. All through the great structure frantic ex- hibitors rushed, seeking the safety of their goods. | “Our hands are tied,” said one; “we can- not remove our wares trom the building. We must stand idly by and see them burn. We can do nothing.” The fire department fought with energy and skill, but the conditions were all against success. A fierce wind came over the lake, flinging fiery embers everywhere and tan- ning the fames into fierce life with every moment. Huge billows of tlame rolled northward over the great glass roof, being manfully combatted by the men upon the roof, who were handicapped, however, by the lack of water. A heroic effort was made to get streams to the top of the giant struc- ture, for the only apparent salvation of the structure.lay in getting men upon the en- circling promenade and pouring streams in- to the furnace below. The water supply was fearfully inadequate. Time and again the streams were cut off almost entirely. Scattered throughout the fair grounds are hydrants from which the supply was to be drawn, but they were in- sufficient in the hour of dire need. Finding that it was impossible to reach the roof, — chief ordered his engines into the build- s. About the manufactures buildiag cordons of policemen were stationed, and groups of bluecoats guarded every entrance. But the eager crowds which thronged over the bridges and rushed about the walls of the blazing piles could not be stopped in their course, and thousands gained admittance to the building. They thronged every aisle, and crowded every passageway and pushed forward to be thrust back time after time by the officers on guard. “I can see little hope of saving the man- ufactures building,” said Superintendent Graham, shortly after midnight. “Kor all I can see, the great structure will be by morning a mass of smoking and charred ruins. The French exhibit, perhaps the most valuable of all those left here, is now almost ruined and the Russian is burning. Much of the goods are yet in bond and can- not be taken out until released. We have made every effort to get the officials down here and expedite the work and feel that we cannot be blamed.”” Two Firemen Killed. Shortly after 11 o'clock four tiremen were caught beneath a crush of falling embers just outside the manufactures building. Streams of water were instantly poured up- on the mass, and soon the injured men were removed. Their names could not be ascer- tained by the chief, but it was said that all of the men were unconscious when rescued, and that two of them were fatally injured. As he was being lifted into a patrol wa, on, one of the wounded men revived, and, rais- ing one burned arm above his head, while the other hung helpless by his side, cried faintly: “Fight her, boys; fight her; we must save it. As the wagon rolled away he raised him- self on one elbow, and looking at the de- struction of the beautiful white city pride of every Chicagoan, said, feebly rather die than to live. The climax of interest was reached after midnight when a company of fifty could be seen by the watchers outside the buiiding edging their way along the ridge of the roof. Heretofore all efforts in this direction bad practically failed, and owing to the fright- ful loss of life on the fair grounds before, when firemen were ordered up to face a pos- sible fall of 250 feet, the marshals had been slow to incur the responsibility for dupti- eating such a peril. The L President Higginbotham at midnight tele- Phoned that he had been in the burning building over two hours; that the roof had burned and fallen, bat that, fortunately, few of the exhibits were in the range of the falling embers. “I should say the loss by water would be much greater than by fire. ‘The total loss of exhibits will not exceed $100,000, “Of course, the loss is serious enough. The fire is now tairly under control and there Is no more to fear. “All told the contents of the liberal arts building did not exceed a million dollars in value. As to the casino, peristyle and music hall, there is no loss. We should not regret i i their burning, as it is the cheapest way of removing them. Estimate of Lons, A rough estimate places the loss on the butldings at about $800,000, No estimate of the loss on the exhibits can be given uftil the cases containing the stored goods ,are examined. Smoldering Flames Re: ed. At 11 o'clock jast night the attention of the fire department was turned toward say- ing the manufactures building from the im- bending danger of total destruction. ‘rhe smoldering embers of the peristyle were fanned to lite again by the brisk breeze ard set fire to the piling. Slowly the tlames worked toward the agricultural builting. Four engines were kept busy playing on the burning piles and succeeded in subduing the flames and putting the agricultural building out of danger. When the piling underneath the p. had burned aw: the earth, depri support, gave way and fell into the lake with a crash, leaving a hole 150 feet in length and 20 feet in widtn. ‘The statue of the republic was left un- harmed save for a little scorching by the heat. ‘ When the extent of the conflagration be- came known, President Higinbotham re- paired at once to the fair grounds and put in nearly the entire night direeting opera- tions toward suppressing the spread of the jflames in the manufactures building and minimizing the danger of the exhibits. At midnight he was seen by a reporter and made the following statement: “Reports have greatly exaggerated the value of exhibits stored in the manufactures building, some of them placing it as high as $5,000,000, Even at the most liberal esti- mate, their value will not exceed $2,000,000, and the loss to exhibitors will not be over $200,000, which will be an outside figure. The damage is entirely by water and smoke and none of the exhibits have been injured by fire. Two engines have been inside the | building all night and as soon as fire caught among the cases it was extinguished. “I know little or nothing about the origin of the fire. It is very unfortunate, though. I am mostly concerned about the goods held in government bond. If it were not for the contents we might let this big building burn without any serious loss.” \ | ae LAUREL. The grip, while not so extended in the number of cases, is unusually fatal here, there having been several deaths from that disease and its attendant complications. During the last two weeks there have been more deaths in Laurel and the immediate vicinity than in the three preceding months. The first suicide from the effects of the grip occurred near Laurel yesterday, the victim being E. A. Pearl, a prominent farmer. Mr. Pearl had been suffering for | several days and yesterday morning while laboring, as it is supposed, under a fit of temporary insanity blew his brains out. Symptoms of insanity had exhibited the selves previously, but none of the frien of the deceased expected an attempt at suicide. The Epworth League of Laurel held an election last night and the following otficers were chosen for the ensuing six months: President, J. H. Hopkins; vice president, department of spiritual work, Miss Helen D. Ryon; vice president, department ot mercy and help, Miss Ida Duvall; vice president, department of literature, Miss Hattie Jeffries; vice president, social de- partment, Mrs. L.
