Harter of Ohio When the house ing, Mr. Compton of Maryland, of the committee on appropriations, asked unanimous consent for the consideration of a bill appropriating #43,000 for the im- provement of suburban streets in the Dis trict of Columbia. He explained that the appropriation would give emyloyment to many needy peovle. M.

In the course his speech Mr. Breckinrdge likened the advocates of protection to sharks. Mr. Walker of Mussachusetts insisted on knowiug to whom ho applied such an epi- thet. *Idid notmean to hurt the gentle- man’s feelings.” replied Me. Breckinridge, Mr. Walker, however, declared that was not a fair answer. “Well, then,” responded Mr. Breckin- riage. 1 refer to those, who, during the peril and distress of a great civil war, took advantage of labor in the name of patriot- ism, and later, in time of profound peace, in- er these exactions until in the Kifty- firsi congress they wrote a new law that en- riched themselves, I refer to those who ad- mitted new states to retain power, those who purchased ballot boxes and took the scat of William R. Morrison 1n this house by bribery. {Democratic applause.] “Being an American manufacturer and one of those who helped to make those laws, do you refer to me?” inquired Mr. Walker. “If the description fits you, then you have recogmzed your own picture.” [Laughter and applause. | Mr. Richards, democrat, of Ohio, followed with a short speech in support of the Wil- son bill, Mr. Diugley's Speech. M, Dingley of Maine then took the floor in opposition to the bill, Mr. Dingley said: “The pending tariff DBill purports to be a bill to provide revenue. It s in fact u bill to abolish revenue. The democratic majoritywhich has reported it has been accustonied to charge that republican tariffs igrore revenue in order to protect some industrics. They present the so-called revenue bill is a substitute which ignores revenue in order to destroy protection. This revenue bill would yield $67,000,000 less than the tariff of 1800, This large surrender of revenue 1s to bo made, too, ata time when there is a deficit of $33,000,000 in the first half of the present fiscal year, which will be fncreased to more than $60,000,000 by July next, caused by the distrust induced by the apprehension of the revolutionary tarift changes proposed, and when the secretary of the treasury informs congress that if the present revenue laws are unchanged, there will be sufticient revenue for the next fiscal year just us there was in the fiscal yeirs 1502 and 1503, Tn short the pro- posed tariff is not a bill for a revenue only but or a deficiency only. The excuse given for such a surrender of needed revenue 18 the alleged necessity for reducing the taxa- tion of the masses.” What, then, are the articles on which it is proposed to'surrender revenue und reduce taxation? I find a sur- render of about §14.000,000 in duties on im- ported liquors, Havana i foreign cigars und leaf tobacco, sill s and embroideries, kid gloves, ostrich feathers, ete., articles of luxury or volunt e con sumed mainly by the well-to-do. he poor people must be greatly relieved by such re- ductions. Only the Rich Relleved. O the §22,000,000 of revenue surrendered In reduced duties-on imported manufactures of wool more thau half is on_fine goods, con- sumed by men of means, who want Some- thing “Euglish, you kuow,” and who are willing to pay for it. The same is true of the $1.000,000 surrendered on fino cottons and many other goods. Nov far, from 40 000,000 of duties are surrendered on imported luxuries of articles of voluntary use. ‘Then about §,000,000 of revenuo is surre ved by a reduction of the duty on tin plate of 1 cont per pound, which is now large part paid by the Welsh munufacturer. ‘This is shiown by the fact that when the duty on tin plato was rased 1.2 ceuts per pound the tariff of IS0 and the tin plate ustry established here by that tariff, the Ish manufacturers so fav reduced their price to hold our markets that tin plate did not advauce here above a quarter of u cent a pound above the average from 1583 to 1501 n this case it was clearly the manufacturer that practically paid nearly all the tax This {5 also true of hi of articles where the foreigner reduces his prico to meet protective duties and hold our mur kets.

Tuasmuch as the reduced duties aro mainly on imported articleswa can produe or make for oursolves it will requive un in- crease of {mportations to the extent of $260,000,000 Lo make up lost revenue.

No wonder mills ure ciosing, wages going down, and business paralvzed ' at such & prospect, such A blo at theso industrics ou the grouud that the protection *policy under which they have been built up 18 robbery.” And yet, the democratic major- ity claims that it has continued the “rob- bery' in many cases, showing favoritism, 1t is true, and favoritism_gencrally to such s had a democratic backing, Ri for exam ple, is protected by 83 per cent duty, but wany northern farm products are put on the free list. In spite of conspicuous exceptions the general policy of the bill is to €o far re- duce duties as to encourage importations of foreign goods with the purpose of making further reductions in_the futuro. The ob- ject is to overthrow protective duties on the ssumption that they are a tax which in a8es the cost to the consumer of dpmes- tic products A protective duty, i. ported foreign articles, which ave produced equal to the difference in money cost of pro- duetion and aistribution here and abroad, is nota tax which increases the real costof such article to the consumer as the free trader assumes, The effect of such a dut is simply to place competition here on th basis of our high wage and high living ard and the price of the, article 15 mined by the cost of production, paying American wages, and_that price estimited in Inbor service {n which all men ultimately pay for what they get, but 1s less here than ywhere else in the world. Our protective system simply says to the foreign producer or manufacturer “Before vou can sell your products in our markets you must pay into our treasury, us a duty, a s equivalent to the wages that you withheld from your _ laborer and which our mauufacturers paid to our workinzmen, This policy, continued for thirty-one years, gave us almost uninter- rupted prosperity; gave our workingmen in 1802 wages 08 per cent in purchase power in excoss of the wages of 1860 und made us the greatest agricuitural, mining and mauu- facturing nation in the world, 1t is only a year simce the result of the elections of 1802, foroshadowing n revolutionary change in this policy, first began to cause distrust, which has increased from month to month until industry and business are disordered und d and opportunitics for employment ua d and reduced. Will the remon- »s of tho peopie in the recent clec- tions, the remonstrances coming from work- ing men in all parts of the country, be heeded Mr. Springer’s Remark Springer of Tllinois followed. Heo on the tariff question and tried to show that laborers and agricuiturists had not been benefited by the protection. He quoted census office statistics ou the amount of the mortgage indebtedness. “New York has a larger per capita o mortgaged indebteaness than Nebraska,” interrupted Mr. keed.” “Yes, sir,” replicd Mr. Springer. “That shows,” sud Mr. Reed, “what thosc figures are worth as showing the con- dition of agriculture.” [Luughter.] Mr. Springer commended the free list of the Wilson bill, but said if ho had been framing the bill he should have made some material modifications. In concluding, Mr. Springer predicted that with free raw materials the country would become the greatest manufacturing country of the world, as it was now the greatest agricuitural, Mr. Brossius, republican, of Pennsylvania, closed the debate in opposition to the bi He defended the theory of protection.

Senator Davis of Minnesota concluded his spedch in opposi- tion to the policy of the present administra- tion und was particularly emphatic in his opposition to the act ot the president in com- Tissioning Mr. Blownt to Hawaii and cloth: ing him with plenary power, even to the exftent o control of mnaval forces, without such an appointment hav: ing been confirmed by the sen- ate. The defensc with which he paraded to the senate, the spectacie of the opera bouffe queen clamoring for her los throne, was too much for the grave and venerable senate, and the gallerics gave ex- pression to its aporeciation by applause so hearty that it required the usual threat from the presiding ofiicer to clear the galleries to still the enthusiasm. Senntor Turpie’s Surprise. Senator Turpie made an hour's specch that was full of surprises. It was a strong legal argument, based on international and diplomatic laws, and took the position that the provisional government, having been once recognized by the United States and the civilized world, was a fact accomp- plished and recognition could not be with- drawn. When the senate met at noon today Senator Cullom reported favorably from the committee on commerce the sen- ate bill granting to the Des Moines Rapid Power cowpany the right to construct a daam ‘and power sta- tion in the Mississippi in Hancock county. lllinois. The bill was amended by requiring the work to be begun within two vears and completed within four years, but Senator Hawley of Connecticut objected to the immediate passage and it went over. Senator Coke of Texas reported favorably from the committee oh commerce the senate bill making an extension of time to the Aransas Pass Harbor compauy and iv was vassed. Mr. Davis’ Delleate Sarensm. Senator Davis, in resuming his discussion of the Hawaiian question, asserted that the people who were most active 1n_the recent revolution in Hawali, as a necessity of their residence there, had taken an oath of allegi ance to the Huwaiian wovernment and were not aliens in the sense indicated in the pr ident’s message. The landing of Americ warines at the order of Ministor Stovens v only in accordance with the practices cases of revolution, and many times had been demonstrated to be a necessity in preserving the interests of Amorican citizens. If the queen, by her violation of the constitution and her own revolutionary acts vrecipitated a counter revolution, she should not. complain of any indirect milucnce that mignt have been exerted by the necessary landing of American forces to protect Amorican inter- ests. Even while the proclamation was being read by the revolutionists, ouc of them, Mr. Dawon, as evidence shows, became nervous aud sent to inquire of the com- mander of the mavines, whetner the Ameri- can forces would not' protect them. Tt hieutenaut of marvines veplied, saying: I remain pagsive. 1 will not support'it 1n any way.” Fell on the Last Seene, “When this revolution commenced,” said My, Davis, “the farce came to an end. ‘The curtain fell on the last scene of the mou archy.

WasniNGTos, Jan, 11.—Conirary to pee- vious announcement ex-Commissioner Blount this morning wuas before the senate com- mission which 1s investigating the relations of this country with Hawaii under the reso- lution of Senator Morgan, Senator Frye, who is regarded as the special champion on the committee of ex-Minister Stevens, and who it has been supposed would be pleased to have an opportunity to oxamine Mr. Blount, appeared soon after 10 o'clock, the hour of meeting, but excused himself for the time to attend a meeting of the senate com- mittee on commerce. Senator Dolph sat with the subcommitzeo. Nuture of Blount’s Examination. The efforts of the committ more to securing an explanation from Mr. Blount of his various acts while in Honoluln than to obtaining from him an accurate account of his mission, with which the committee was alroady sufliciently in- formed through his report. The anation necessar: or, involved ct allusion to, and. 'in some instances, o full account of his proceedings. He told briefly of his appointment on the 10th of March. 1803, by she presigent as special comn- missioner to Tnvestigate the condition of affairs on the Hawaiian islands which had been developed by the revolution of last wuary. This revolution, together with the part the United States troops haa taken in it, the fact that the minister had established an American protectorate over the islands, and that a provisional government had been formed and was secking to have the islanas annexed to the United States, advised the president to have th> whole matter in- vestigated by someone who had 1o connec- tion with the islands, and_he had been selected for the mission. Mr. Blount said that he considered the appointment as within the bounds of propriety and prece- dent. The trip to the islands on the Rush, the landing in Honolulu on the 20th of March, and Blount’s reception by the peovle on both sides of the question, were passed over almost without mention, as was the fact that both the annexationists and the royal- ists were apparently exceedingly anxious to make his stay as pleasart as possible. Decided to Huul Down the Fiag. The decision to have the American en taken down and the American soldiers re- turned to the man-of-war was next revived. Mr. Blount said that he had found the islands and the government entirely under, the control or protection of the troops. Tho American flag floated over the government building in wnich the ofiicers of the pro. visional_government conducted their bus ness. Everywhere was noticed the influ- ence of this country upon the people of the islands. It was evident, Mr. Blount said, that it would be difficult to se- care an impartial account or opinion uninfluenced by the surroundings as long as this state of affuirs continued, and, conse- quently, he decided on the 31stof March, two d ival, that, in accord: e were divected s after his arri ance with the spirit of his instructions and in the interest of fair play. the American flag should be. hauled down and the troops removed, Of this he informed President Dole, and on the following day, the lst of April, ended the temperory protectorate. This proceeding he defended as within the scope of his mission and as an entirely proper_proceeding under the eircumstances. The subsequent events, he said, proved that the presence of the American 1X00ps Was not necessary to preserve order or to protect the life and’ property of cither Americans or natives. The examination of Mr. Blount also went fnto the various questions concerning the landing of the American troops during the revolution and his reasons for coucluding there had been conspiracy to dethrone the queen and annex the islands to the United States. Mr. Blount was examined in regard to the statements of the Hawaiians to the effect that his examination had been partial, and his methods had been apparcntly in tho di- rection of obtaiuing information against the government aud in favor ot the o this he replied that he took y in his own way and acted upon his own judgment. He had been se- lected to make this examination and had been given entire authority to conduct it in any manner he siw fit_and to obtain the- most accurate and best information concern- ing the revolution. At cnd of the examinntionof Mr. Blount he had a long confercnce in the com: mittee room with Senator Morgan, Mimister Willis' Dispate Interest in the Hawaiian_question ceuters inthe dispatches from Mr. Willis by the Corwin, which were in tne hauds of the State department today. Secretaries (jres- ham, Lamont and Carlisie visited the white house today and were in confercnce with Mr. Cleveland. Attorney General Oluney came later and remained closeted with the president and Socretary Gresham for some time, for the purpose, it is said, of giving advice on some of the points invoived in the news Mmister Willis sent. All that could be learncd of the dispatehes was that the matter they con’ is in about 12,000 words. President Dole’s letter in reply to Minister Willis con- tains about 5,000 words. Tt was thought that the matter would be sent to congress, but the perusal of it by the president occupied considerable time, aud it was found the preparation of the copics to be sent to the capitol would occupy much move, It 15 thought tonight, however, that the matter will go in tomorrow upon the ussem- bling of congress.

Glovernor Jackson in his inaugural address suid: “The stability, as well as tho perpetu- ity of arepublican form of governments,rosts upon the intelhigence of its common péople. Poverty is the natural enemy of education and acvelopment. A republican form of gov- ernment cannot affora to have poverty fasten its clutches upon the masses of its people. Neither can the people of wealth in such a government afford That which most threntens the glory and progress of our coun- tey is the gradual forcing upon the millions of American labovers tho schedules of pau- ver wages paid the laboring classes of the old world. Old world wages areuot suficient to enable an Amicrican laborer to proverly clothe his family, educate his children and make of them good American citizens, Any- thing less than this is a menace to the vory foundation of our system of government. The schedules of wages referred to beget poverty, and poverty begets ignoranco. despotic forms of government can live and thrive with poyerty and ignorance among the mas This | sible with a ro- publican form of government like ours, A schedule of wages that enables the American laboring wan to support his_family respect- ably and to educate his children properly has been recognized as & national necessity during the groater part of our nation's e istence, Patriotism Brouder and Deepor. “To maintain the American schedule of wages in the future requires that the Amer- ican people buy and use the products of the brain and muscle of the American lnbover and producer rather than those of other lanas, even though thoy may costu little more patriotism, A patriotism that resents nsultton nation's flag is highly com- mendable. A patriotism that furnishes halt million men to protect the rights and lib- crties of even a few of its citizens under the flag wherover they may be is indeed chival vous and glorious. The patriotism of an American_citizen should certainly be as broad and deep as this. 1t must be even broader and deeper. It must bea patriot- fsm that shall fusist ehat the purchasing price of a manufuctured article shall be such an_amount that an American laborer whose brain and muscle produced it, who lives under the samo flag, who breathes the same air and whose interest and welfare are the nattion’s interest and welfare, shall re- coive for the product of his brain and muscle such compensation as shall cnable him to live as an American citizen oy 0 live and to educate nis children as American children must be educated.

Notone hes- itated to obey, At this juncture Howard Harris and A, Vincent, prominent business men of Fowler, stepped upon the depot platform and took in the situation. ‘They were about to run away and give the alarm, when the robber espied them through a window.

He sceured 4 little over $70. The daring frecbooter then ordered his six prisoners into the street and made them walk down town through the princival thoroughfare to Kutner Goldstein's grocery. “The robber followed his” six prisouers into the store and it was evidently his inteation, alone and single-handed, to loot the grocery. However, just as ho ordered three men pre- viousty it the store to throw up their hands, the proceedings were interrupted by Cont stables Ochs wnd Nelsop, Then began a bioody shooting affray. Ochis, with his pistol dvawn, rusbed into tho store. The bandit turned upon him and fircd.

This man answers to the de- scription of Chivis Evaus. In the other rob- ber, who wore a bandana handkerchief over his' fuce, the men attacked believe they vecognized 154 Morrel. The robber told them also that his name was Morrel. 1t 1s believed here that the bandits, becoming pressed for food and money, came down from the mountains determined to make a raid. A posse left this city last night to organ- i20 u pursuit from Fowler. Constablo Charles Ochs, who is badly wounded in the thigh and groin, was one of the jurors who convieted Chris Evans of the ‘murder of Deputy United States Marshal Wilson. Ochs declares tnat he wounded the younger of the two robbers. It is generally agreed here und iu Fowler that_the during raid was the work of Evans and Morrel.
