THE TARIFF, Senators Bayard and McDonald on the Great Issue. Special Dispatch to Tin Bxn New York, May £9.—Tae World publiches letters written to Pull{zer by Sonators Bayard and McDonald respecting the tariff question, The Y | former sage: “‘Anything like finesse, or the sppearance of finesse, or trick in dealing with the lssue, as tariff for revenue, or tarlff fur the protection of certaln classes, will eurely weaken the party resorting to it. I know of no position more {mpregn able, and upon which {t {s more important for the democratic party to form its line than that public property ocannot be taken for private use under any pretext. The rate of taxatlon will be easlly measured by publle ex- Igencles and such a tacle as was witnessed at the last session of con- gross, of a hendful of men represent- {ng private Intorests and controlling and moulding the public laws of tax- atlon to suit those interests, will never agala be tolerated by honest public sentiment.” Senator MoDoneld sayr: *‘The tariff is3ue, as connected with the general subjeot of revenue reform, will neces- sarlly be an important question in all fature politloal contests until it is set- tled upon the dootrines of the consti- tation and principles of sound political economy, We may be some time in reaching a solution of the questlon, bat as the public mind becomes en- lightened, 1t will not be satisfied with any tariff that has for ita baals protec- tion, nor with the details of any tar- Iff law in which the dutfes lald upon foreign merchandise shall be above a revenue point,” e —— Indiana Cyoclone.

Special Dispatch to Tum Bus, CH10AGp, May 29.—Bidney Dillon, president of the Union Pacific road, passed through this clty en route to Now York this evening, after a tour of inspection over the road. In an interview he said the company had no intention of extending its live west trom Ogden to San Francisco; that such extension wou'd not pay, as the road’s earnings on California business were only 10 per cent of its entire earnings. As to the extension of the Burlington road to Salc Lake, and the buildiog of other lines into Union Pa- cific territory, he said they had un- doubtedly taken some business, but owing to the growih of the country the earnings of the ' Uulon Pa. cific company had nevertheless in- created. The diversion of traffic via the Bouthern Pacific to New Orleans, thercs by water, he safd, had not materlally ¢ ff:cted his lines. ' He sencrted only aboot 26" per cent of through treffic was® carried liy this route wnd steasdship lnégy Io this vonnection he said the esstern trunk lines could not sfford to carry out the threat not to prorate with the Paclfic ronds, as such refusal would ratse the rate to such an extent that traffic from seaboard to seaboard would be divert- ed to the southern route to a large extent, He eald the completion of the Northern Pacific would increase rather than decresse the business of the Unlon Puclfic, owlng to the traffic it would bring from the far northwest over the Ozegon Short Iine, Prorating on P, Special Dispatch to Tus Bxx, Cuicaco, May 29 — Officlal an- nouncemont was made by Commis- sioner Fink yesterday, that the order to discontinue the present method of treating California business separately from other traffic should not go into effeot June lst. Actlon has been postponed until July 1st, and up to that date the present arrangement should continue as heretofore. It is stated the presidents of the Unlon and Central Pacific have requested COommissioner Fink not to carry ont the new order untll representatives of their roads have had an-opportunity to meet representatives of the trunk lines and see if a more satisfactory arrangement cannot be made. It s stated that the trunk lines are determined to make no compromise with the Central Paclfic people regarding this matter, unless they withdrew thelr line of steamers be- tween New York and New Orleans. ‘When the trunk linas acceded to the demand of the Central Paclfic t» pro- rate on California business at low con. tract rates, it was done upon the un- derstanding that none.of the business should bo diverted by water lines, the Ocntral Pacific alleging that 1t was compelled to discriminate In favor of such shippers as pledge themselves to ship exciusively by rall to keep the business from golng via the Paclfic Mail steamshlp company'slines, Since the establishment of the ocean line the trunk lives have found that the Central Pacific wi divert- ing all business it could via Its new ocean and rall roate, and therefore they came to the concluslon that it was no nse to prorate any longer with the Pacific roads at con- tract rates, as non-contract business was all belng diverted over the new Southern Pacifis route, The Oentral Pacific now finds it- self ina dilemama. It can hardly afford to have itsprorating arrangement with the trunk lines stopped, aud it much less likesto abandon its new ocean line between New York and New Orleans, which, in connection with its Southern Pacific line, gives 1t an independent through line from New York to San Francisco. iflc Businoss.
