Value $3.50, been presented, either to the committee on ways and means or to this House, in re- gard to the effect of a tariff tax upon wool as it a! ted the American wool grower. I have not time to go into any elaborate discussion of this subject, except to state the unquestioned facts, that can be verified by a number of gentlemen upon this floor, who, like myself, have been interested every spring in the price of wool. I want it distinctly understood that I do not carry a flock of sheep upon my farm with any idea of deriving a profit from the wool clip alone, nor do I believe there is in the state or Iilinois or Missouri a farmer today—cer- tainly not one out of a hundred—who car- ries a flock of sheep upon his farm for the profit in the wood clip alone. Some Figures as to Prices. Ever since 1870, whenever the tariff taxa- tion has been raised on wool American wool has decreased in price. I will publish, in connection with my brief remarks, the figures taken from a report, No. 501 of the Fifty-second Congress, first session, from | the committee on ways and means, giving the price of medium Ohio wool, in curren- cy and in gold, in the city of Boston, com- mencing with March, 1866, and ending with December, 1800. In 1870 the highest price quoted for Ohio medium wool in Boston was 45 cents in currency, and the lowest 45. In 1871 4 highest price was 62 cents in currency, an so on. I commenced selling wool in 1870, and I have been gradually getting a lower | and lower price for my wool clip, except in | two or three years in the interim, as I will show from this table, down to the passage of the McKinley tariff act. I got less for my wool in 1890 than I ever received for it | before. I got less for it in 1891 than I ever received for it before, and I sold my wool clip in 1892 for less than I ever received for | it before; and in 189 I sold my wool for | | the highest price that wool brought in the | city of Hannibal, at the date I delivered it, | because my wool clip was graded as choice | medium wool, and I sold it for 16 3-4 or 17 cents a pound—the exact figures I have not ig hand—the lowest price I have ever sold it for. | ‘The. point I want to make is this: All| American wool, or at least the great bulk | of it, is bought by the wool manufacturers | | of the United States. They cannot make cloth in competition with the manufactur- ers of woolen goods in the world without | an admixture of certain grades of foreign | wool not grown in this country, and the | higher price you make them pay for that | foreign wool the less they will pay the American wool grower.

Mr. Sperry's Speech Arouses Mr. Talbert of South Carolina, the Two Imve a Lively Verbal | Tilt—Mr. Hatch on the Wool Questi The feature of last evening's session of |the House was the speech of Mr. Sperry, | | @ democrat of Connecticut, in antagonism to the Wilson bill. Nine members, which is about the limit of the number who can be induced to attend a night session, with- out some extraordinary reasons, listened to his speech. The galleries were well fill- ed, and the audience there found considera- ble excitement and amusement in a tilt be- tween Mr. Sperry and Mr. Talbert of South Carolina. Mr. Sperry said that the south- ern states, such as South Carolina, used but a small quantity of imported goods, and therefore knew little about the tariff. Mr. Talbert thought this was a reflection | upon the manner of living of his peopl and became excited. He wanted M Sperry to understand that his people were not in a state of barbarism. He defended their intelligence and familiarity with the comforts and good things of this world, and hurled resentment and defiance the teeth of the Connecticut statesman un- til there was an uproar of applause. Tarif? and Revenue. Mr. Sperry said in the « peech that the only excuse for a tariff tax is to provide a revenue. The require- ments of the treasury should limit the rate There is a most intimate connec- tion between the revenues derived from the tariff and the revenues required by the government. In the preparation of the pending bill the committee seem to have left all revenue out of the problem, and in the discussion of the 4ill unon the floor of the House thus far the only issue raised is one between protection a free trade as a governmental policy. In 1887, when President Cleveland issued “free trade” message, he call- ed attention to the fact that there was a surplus in the ireasury which was soon likely to reach $100,000,000, and earnestly recommended a reduction of taxation to avoid an accumulation of surplus. Tariff reform at that time meant a revision of the tariff upon protective lines under the platform of the first CL nd admi tion, and to the extent necessary to the accumulation of surplus Speeches were made during the evening by Messrs. Hunter of lilinois and Bower of North Carolina. Mr. Hatch on the Wool Question. Mr. Hatch of Missouri spoke on the wool) question in the How yesterday, proclaim- ing himself a wool raiser. I have been a practical wool grower for twenty-four years, he said. T have had on my farm, near the city of Hannibal, a flock of pure Southdown sheep since the fall of 1869. I sold my first wool clip from this flock in the spring of 1870, and have sold it as unwashed wool to the wool buy- ers of the city of Hannibal each year since the spring of 1870. Since I have been a member of Congress, during the different | tariff discussions that have occurred since the Forty. very close ttudent of all of the statistics and all of the facts and figures that have | | |met at Philadelphia recently there was ja ef T.

The troubles ending in the down- | Mr. Sovereign to the office of general mas- | ter workman are not ended by any means. | Though the defeated chief proclaimed his | loyalty to the order immediately after his _ forces were routed his friends have not | been falling over each other in their ef- | forts to secure harmony. In fact, they are at loggerheads with the present management. This is borne out in a secret circular issued to the membership under date of January 14. The original circular purports to be signed by eighteen of the delegates to the general assembly. |The names are, however, omitted from the proof sheets issued for general distribution. The document begins: “For the first time in the history of the has become necessary |to send to the order a statement which |the doings of their representatives in the | |general assembly. This is made. necessary on this occasion partly by the fact that the gentral secretary-treasurer and his as- | sistants have, either from design or be- lutes of the assembly that the official rec- | ord. gives no intelligible idea of what was | |done, and partly by the fact that much | lof the time of the general assembly was spent in committee of the whole so that | |Ro recerd appears upon the minutes.” | After calling attention to the fact that during most of the proceedings the as- |sembly acted as a committee of the whole, the circular continues: Besides his regu- Jar annual report, which will form part | of the proceedings, the general secretary- treasurer read a prepared statement, in which he made a number of charges against the general master workman and two mem- bers of the genera! executive board, Broth- ers A. W. Wright and John Devlin. Should these charges have been mer. ited the signers say these men should hav been expelled, but after a five days’ exam- ination and an investigation by the finance | committee, it was reported that the charges | were without foundation. Attention is then called to the fact that junder section 264 of tne constitution any |member who shall make false charges inst another shall be exnelled. The {signers then deciare that the general sec- retary-treasurer, after admitting his charz- es to be false, was not punished. How it the circular continues, we know why .it was done may never be In explanation, the document declares beep “from the beginning of the session 2 faction composed of the personal friends and followers of the general secretary- | treasurer began to hold caucuses. In num- bers this faction scarcely rose to the dig- nity of respectability, but as the session | advanced it became evident that what they lacked +a numbers they more than made up in unscrupulousness and in determination not to be restrained by any regard for fairness or decent consideration for the jrights of others.

Over 300 people were present, in- cluding besides the members of the associa- | | tion, Vice President Stevenson, Gov. Flower, | Senator Hill, the judges of the court of | appeals, Lieut. Gov.

P. at | only, FEDERAL ELECTIONS BILL Democratic Senators Anxions to Fiz @ Date for the Debate. Mr. Frye Makes a Sharp Attack om tha Majority —He Wants Them “to Say Something. The progress of the debate on the federal elections bill in the Senate is being marked with many curious phases. Though the bill has been the unfinished business of the Senate for nearly a fortnight, not a single Set speech has yet been delivered on either side and there seems a disposition on the part of each party to let the other take the initiative. This condition of affairs led to a remarkable debate yesterday afternoon that developed considerable good-natured sarcasm. Immediately after the bill was taken up as the regular order of the day, on the conclusion of the morning business, Senator Chandler offered an amendment to jae bill in the form of an addition section providing for the selection of a watcher by each candidate in every election for mem- ber of Congress. The question was put by the chair, Senator Jones of Arkansas, and was declared lost, but the yeas and nays were ordered, and before they could be call- ed Mr. Chandler noted the absence of a quorum. When fifty Senators had come into the chamber, Mr. Chandler took the floor to explain his amendment, and this led to a spirited but informal debate be- tween Mr. Chandler and Mr. Gray, and later between Senators Chandler and Alien, Mr. Chandler's Hit. After nearly an hour of cross-firing of a more or less sharp nature between the re- publican and the populist, Mr. Gray forged to the front with some rematks upon the general conduct of the debate and the chances for taking a vote on the bill He urged the republicans to give him some idea of when they would be ready to begin with the debate proper and to go on with it to a legislative conclusion. Mr. Chandler then said that he was unwilling to proceed with the formal debate in the absence of Mr. Hill, He brought a smile to the faces of all the Senators by saying that the rea- sons that took Mr. Hill from the chamber were very well known to Mr. Gray. Mr. Gray appreciated the delicacy of Mr, Chandler in thus considering the wishes of Mr. Hill, but he assured him that Mr. Hill had given the bill into his hands when he left and expressed his desire to have it pushed to a vote as soon as possible, with- out reference to his movements. Mr. Hill would, he thought, undertake io be present when a vote was taken. Mr. Chandler said that there least a dozen republican Senators wanted to speak on the bill and he could not say with certainty just when they, would be ready to begin. Mr. Gray then stirred up the embers of Mr. Chandler's wrath by asking when the republican Senators would be ready to “take up a discussion of the bill seriously.” “I do not wish to take offense at any: thing the Senator has ‘said,” answered Mr. ‘Chandler, mat he does not mean’ to say that we have not been serious in discussing the bill so far? Mr. Gray disclaimed any idea of such an were at who intimation and that point was avoided without bloodshed. Mr. Prye’s Attack. Mr. Higgins then came to the front with the suggestion that perhaps the republicans would be ready to begin their talk on next Monday, and that the’ debate could then continue, day in and day out, to a vote. This was satisfactory to Mr. Gray, who tried to pin Mr. Chandler down to an ac- ceptance or a rejection of the proposition, but the latter evaded a reply by giving the floor to Mr. Frye, who had just entered, Mr. Frye then made a brief but very sig- nificant speech, taunting the democrats with not having anything to say on such an im- portant measure. It was very hard work, he said, to discuss a question ihe affirmative side has nothing to say. Hie said: “We are perfectly dazed here by finding an extraordiuary proposition before Congress and the democratic party . 4 nothing to say to convert each other. the silver bill was under discussion ae was no lack of argument on the other side of the chamber. Democrats had to try to ince other democrats. ow, I am surprised that while on every other question there ts division, there is discussion, there is give and take, there is something said which calls for reply, im this case there is nothing. While the dem- ocratic party is dividea on everything else, whilst now it has immense difficulties with- in its own limits and its own borders on every question of any importance that comes before the Senate, it is very notice- able that when there is a proposition which opens up the ballot box to opportunities for fraud there is no division whatever on the democratic side; they are as one man, of one mind; they are solid; they are enthusi- astic even to the extent of absolute silence, That question is always certain to unite the democratic party. 1 am not entirely certain that the question has not been brought be- fore the Senate for one purpose, and one to unite the discordant ranks of the democratic party.” “The Senator ought not to begrudge us one measure on which we are united,* remarked Mr. Gray. “I do not begrudge it, but I should like to have the Senators on the other side give | Some reasons why they are so united on the question of the repeal of the election laws. in order that 1 may have an opportunity ta reply to a certain extent.” Some Retorts. Mr. Gray quoted some history, and charge the republicans with having failed to put forth any speeches on the “force bill,” | when that measure was before the Senate, Mr. Chandler and Mr. Hoar refuted this ase sertion and endeavored to show that the ree publicans had in reality put forth their speeches, but that the delays of the fillbus- ters had’ caused the bill to be forced from the beginning of the session, taking up the debate where it had been left off the session before. Mr. Gray tried once again to get a definite answer out of Mr. Chandler, but failed, and then he moved an executive ses- sion, and the question was left in the aif, like Mahomet’s coffin. ————— Bomb sion on Shipboard.
