An interesting contribution to the tariff discussion was made today by Senator Gal- linger of New Hampshire, who addressed the Senate on the Wilson tariff bill. At the outset he drew a picture of the depression which existed in the country at this time and the poverty and suffering entailed upon the masses of the people. He referred to the wide extent of the interests affected by the Wilson bill, all of which, he said, the democratic party threatens utterly to de- stroy. He attributed the change in the con- ditions existing in this country to the notice served by the democratic party of their in- tended tariff legislation. He denied that the Sherman silver law had anything to do with the industrial depression, and referred to a speech which he had made at the opening of the special session, when he had stated this view. He discussed. what he termed the fallacy in the phrase “free raw materials” and maintained that there is nothing that can properly be called a raw material. He referred to the statistics of the unem- ployed in this country, and then added: “Mr. President, I was greatly astonished to hear the Senator from Arkansas (Mr. Berry) a few days ago declare in impassioned words that iblican manufacturers are closing their mills so as to create public sentiment against the reform of the tariff. It seemed to me that the Senator had not reflected on his words. Does not the Senator know the condition that exists throughout the north in manufacturing districts? he not know that the petitions which are pouring in from workingmen come from democrats as well as republicans, and that the mass mee! that are being held in northern cities to protest against the pro- posed tariff laws are non-partisan? Does he not know that democratic manufacturers— one of them the member of the democratic national committee from New Hampshire— have been in W: begging and pleading to be saved from their own folly in helping to elect Mr. Cleveland and a dem- ocratic Congress? If he does not know these things he ought to acquaint himself with the facts before making such a serious j upon the republican manufacturers of the country. Does the Senator not know that according to a recent statement from Dun & Co. of New York this reliable house says that ‘Starting with the largest trade ever known, mills crowded with work and all business stimulated by high hopes, the year of 1893 has proved, in sudden shrinkage of trade, in commercial disasters and depres- sion of industries, the worst for fifty years.” The Income Tax. The proposed income tax came in for a share of attention, and on this subject the Senator said: “Mr. President, this country had an in- come tax law from 1863 to 1873, when it was repealed. It was adopted as a war measure and used to help repair some of the ravages of the fierce strife of 1861-65. It was found to be inequitable, unjust, in- quisitorial and offensive—a tax upon the prosperity of our own people rather than upon the products and profits of foreign governments. It is said that such a tax will yield a revenue of $50,000,000, and thus make it possible to take off and reduce the duties on some imported articles. But how will this help the laboring man? It will not set a single American mill running or build a new one. On the contrary, it will, by encouraging increased importations, close American mills, degrade American labor and build up foreign interests at the expense of our own country. It will pun- ish the north for its energy, enterprise and thrift and fasten upon this country a form of odious taxation, already once tried and repudiated—a form of taxation denounced, not only by republicans, but by scores of in different parts of the United States. “It is now proposed to revive this odious and inquisitorial tax, with the certainty that the north will have to pay the bulk of it, thus enabling the promoters of the Wilson tariff bill to strike down our man- ufacturing interests in behalf of importers and foreign manufacturers. It is a mon- strous proposition, and it remains to be seen whether the northern Representatives and Senators will give their support to such a sectional and unjust scheme of tax- ation—a law that would necessarily turn a swarm of sples and informers loose upon the country, and pay a premium to tax- dodging and perjury. In conclusion the Senator said: “The de- pression which has settled upon this country like a pall is not an accident. It is the legit- imate and necessary result of tariff agita- tion and the threatened lowering of duties. We might just as well look the fact squarely in the face that if the assault upon the tar- iff, led by the President, succeeds, a long period of business depression is inevitable. With foreign goods flooding our market and American labor unemployed, our people will not be prosperous, even if they do get dress goods a cent a yard cheaper than they do under existing law. “And yet, notwithstanding all past ex- perience with iow tariffs, it is seriously Proposed to enact another. Today labor is unemployed, the fires are out in the fur- naces, and the loom and the shuttle are silent; gloom and misery have taken the Place of cheer and contentment; all as a result of threatened tariff changes. Why not abandon the whole thing and stand by the American protective system, which has heretofore brought prosperity to our country and happiness and plenty to our people? In behalf of capital; in behalf of labor; In behalf of national honor and national prosperity, I appeal to the Ameri- can Senate to put its seal of condemnation on this effort to hand our country and our people over to the tender mercies of for- eign nations.” MOSES’ Midwinter Reduction Sale AS brought prices in every department down to smaller Gimensions than ever before.

The Army and Navy Club held its annual meeting and election of officers last even- ing at its club house, Connecticut avenue and I street. More than the usual interest was taken in the election, owing to the fact that there was a rivalry between the two branches of the service as to the choice of president, the navy putting up Capt. Robley D. Evans as its candidate against Gen. Schofield, the incumbent of the office. The rivairy was of the friendliest sort, however. One hundred and fourteen bal- lots were cast, and when they were count- ed it was seen that Gen. Schofield had been re-elected by a majority of thirty. The other officers elected were: Gen. John Gib- bons, vice president; Maj. De Witt Poole, treasurer; Ensign Philip Andrews, secre- tary, and Col. Heywood of the marine corps, Lieut. Charles Laird of the navy and Col.

Three bills of more than ordinary interest occupied the attention of the pensions com- mittee of the House this morning. One was to grant a pension of $0 a month to the widow of the late Gen. Hichcock of Vir- ginia. It was represented to the committee that Gen. Hichcock’s service in the army ‘was one of unusual length, extending over & period of forty-three years, including ser- vices prior to and during the late war, It was ordered to be favorably reported. Another private pension bill was that troduced by Mr. Curtis of New York, to crease the pension of Mrs. Dolly E. Vedder, the widow of Capt. Simon C. Vedder, late of the nineteenth United States infantry, from $17 to $30 a month. Mrs. Vedder is now liv- ing at Fairfax Court House, Va. mittee reduced the amount $5, amd agreed to a favorable report, fixing the pension at $25 a month. The bill of the most ance considered this morning, and was also favorably agreed to, is one of pe- culiar interest to the south. its is to repeal that section of the Mevised Stat. utes which prohibits the granting of > sions to any person on account of disebili- ties contracted in wars preceding the civil war, who served in the confederate army during the rebellion. This section, it should be explained, was repealed in part in the case of Mexican veterans who served in the confederate army, and to whom pensions of $8 a month are given without regard to dis- ability. The purpose of the bill in question is to repeal the section without any qualif- cation, so that a soldier who lost an arm @ leg in the Mexican or the Indian and who subsequently joined his fort with those of the confederacy, may be titled to a pension equal in amount to which is given to soldiers of the late who suffer from similar disabilities. ——+ o+—__. + Portrait of Cass. ‘The New York descendants of Lewis Department.
