THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. TABLISHED JU ON MEXICAN DOLLARS Jenators Think it Would Be Profitable to Employ Mints on Them, LODGE TALKS ON THE TARIFF BILL Manufacturers Must Make Money or Labor Will Suffer, AGREEMENT ON COURSE OF PROCEEDINGS Bill Not to Be Read at Large for the Present, HAVE AFFLICTIONS ENOUGH WITHOUT THAT ter Hoar Springs a Little Sensation by the Acth York Legisiature Co Senator 11111, WASHINGTON, April 10.—A resolution was introduced by Senator Allen of braska, requesting the secretary of the in- terlor to inform the senate of the names and address of all pensioners of the govern- ment whose pensions had been or cancelled since March 14 reason for sbeh suspension or cancellation Senator Cockrell objected to its present consideration, and under the rules it went over without action. 10 COIN MEXICAN DOLLARS. The Wolcott resolution for the coinage of Mexican dollars at the United States mints was laid before the senate, and Mr. Gal- linger read communication favoring the resolution. He said that while he cast a reluctant vote for the repeal of the Sher- man law, e thought that the time was ap- proaching when some action would have 1o be taken by congress to give the countr ® larger volurie of currency, and when t time came he might have some remarks to make on the subject which would probably be contrary to the views of the people of his state. The resolution was briefly dcbated, when Senator McPherson withdrew the amendment offered by him yesterday to in- sert the words “for export he thought the Sherman amendment agreed to yester- day covered the points of his proposed amendment. The resolution, as amended, was then agreed to, and is s follows Kesolved, That the president of the United States, with a view to encourage and ext:nd our commercial relations with China and other Asfatic countries, be requested, if not Incompatible with the public intercsts, to enter into negotiations with the republic of Mexice, looking to the coinage by the United States at the mints of a standard Mexican dol- far under some agreement with the said re- public of Mexico as to seigniorage, method and amount of sald coinage, and that he be further requested to report the result of his negotiations to the senate. Senator Aldrich announced the senators of the republean side of the chamber were very anxious to proceed with the consider- ation of the tariff bill in an orderly manner, which would not interfere with the comfort of senators. “I would suggest,” lLe went on, “that we are willing, on this side of the chamber, for a wee least, that the senate shall meet at 12 o'clock ‘each day and the tariff bill shall be taken up at 1 o'clock and continue before the senate wntil b o'clock each day, without dilatory mo- tions.’ It was agreed that the proposition should prevail until Monday next. The resolution of Senator Allen to limit general debate on the tariff bill to June 4, and to take the final vote on the 5th of June, was laid before the senate. Several amendments were offered, and finally the resolution was referred fo the committee on_rules. Senutor Lodge of Massachusctts spoke on tho tariff bill In the course of his remarks Senator Lodge said: “It is always weil (o look at things as they are, even if the thing be free trade, to which some persons in beautiful language have consccrated themselves. It 1s best, if we could treat it intelligently, to know that by itselt and of ftself the tariff Is a business question, and protection and free trade only take on a different and fat deeper meaning wlen they are considered as parts of a question between far-reaching principles, which, I believe, involves the tuture of our race and the' existence and progress of the highest civilization. It is in the latter and far graver aspect, as I have already said, that I prefer first to treat them." MUST STAND OR FALL TOGETHER. 1f, he argued, the American manufacturer Roes not make money it is quits certain that ae will not employ labor, and, therefore, the workingmen will not make money either. Dur manufacturers believe that under free trade they must either go out of business or reduce labor costs. They naturally do not sare to do the former, for that is ruin, and they are very unwilling to try the latter, because reducing labor costs means lowering wages, which means in turn vast industrial disturbances, and that is ruin, too, or some- thing very near it. How widely different is our situation today from that of England Hfty vears ago, 8o far as the manufactures are concerned. Most striking of all these diffterences, moreover, is the fact that while the Bnglish Parliament listened to Bnglish manufactures a majority of the American rongress not only turns the deaf ear to American manufccturers, but treats them as If they were cnemies of the countr Turning from industry to agriculture he Inquired:’ “Has English agriculture been benefited by free trade as Cobden and others of his school predicted? It is a matter of public notoriety that the record of agri- culture in England of late years is little but & record of disaster.” Thers was notbing left them of boasted superiority of free trade over pro- tection but the promise to increase trade and to refute this claim he gave the per- centage of increase by decades, of England and the United States, which showed that in the decade of 187050 the trade of ti United States under protection had increase nearly four times s much as that of Eng- nd, while from 1880-80 it was more than even times greater. Such in outline had been the history and results of free trade in_the only eountry which had adopted it He touched lLightly upon the question of reciprocity and showed with pleuity the advautages which had flowed from it and the growth of trade which followed the adoption of reciprocity treatles.' he wealth of a country is in production, and the strength of a country In its producers. It 1s wo than idle to talk about consumers as if they were a vast proportion of the population who ought alone to be considered. The mere consumers constitute not merely an insignificrut, but wholly unimportant fraction of t >’ community. Our first ob- foct should be to hold our own market be- cause it is the largest and best, and that belng done and our own market securely guarded our next object should be to in- trease our outside markets by any posssible dvico. By means of invention and protec- ton we have been enabled thus far to main- tain higher rates of wages in the United Btates, while lowering the price of the nec essaries and comforts of life and ralsing the standard of living. If we abandon pro tection we shall probably in many direc tons*increase prices by withdrawing Ameri- ean_competition from the competition of the world, and thereby Ising the world's price. In any event we shull lower wages. Pro- tection does not make high wages, but it Lelps to prevent their reduction HOW 70 KEEP UP WAGES. In conclusion, Me said: “To malntain high rates of wages and to glve Ahe fullest scope for their increase 1 beliove }o be assential, because 1 believe good waxes Rbsclutely vital to tha seabllity of our in- pended 1803, and the the | defend by N stitutions and of our soclety. Protection In its widest aspect Is something far more than a mere question of schedules or of national bookkeeping. It s an effort to logislation our standards of liv- ing just as the exclusion of Chinese and of contract labor was, The reduction of wages thus far made are trifling to what will come if this bill be- comes a law and men seek to adjust them- selves to the new conditions. There is darkness before and danger's voice behind. While we debate rates of duties the threat of this bill is really treaking down an fm- portant part of a broad general policy on which we must rely unless we are prepared to meet the shock of changes which it would be difficult to portray. 1 have no fear of the ultimate result. 1 believe that the mighty forces which have brought the great races of men to thelr present posi- tion will not cease to operate. 1 feel sure that In the end we shall not cast aside the policies which are to protect us from the lowering deadly competition of races with lower standards of living than our own.” Two o'clock having arrived, the tarift bill laid before the senate, and Mr. Lodge spoke in opposition to it. Senator Lodge concluded his speech at 4:30 with an eloquent peroration, which was warmly applauded from the galleries. Senator Hoar sprung a sensation by stat- ing that e wished to make a speech, which he would have read from the desk. He thereupon sent up an Assoclated press bul- letin, stating the New York legislature had passed a resolution of thanks to Semator Hill_for his speech in opposition to tarift bill in the semate yesterday. This was greeted with some applause in the gal- lerles, which the vice president check Mr. Gray of Delaware explained the action of the New York legislature by saying the legislature of New York was overwhelmingly republican. Yes,” replied Mr. “but not by such maj digpatch. There is a majority of fourtecn on a joint ballot, o at least forty demo- chats must have voted for the resolution.” A harmless looking resolution introduced by Senator Dolph gave rise to a sbarp dis- cussion and some lively personalities, It provided for the discharge of the committee on public buildings and’ grounds from the consideration of bills for the erection of public buildings in Oregon. This called out statement from the chairman of the com- mitteo (Mr. Vest) that no diserimination had Dbeen shown in buliding biils, but no bills had been favorably reported, in consequence of the depleted condition of the country’s ex- chequer. The resolution was referred to the committee on public buildings. Tho senate then went into executive ses sion, after which it adjourned until 1 o'clock tomorrow Aldrich, rity as s smilingly lown by the BRYAN AND REED HAVE A TILT. Denver Specch of the One and Specch of the Other Explaine WASHINGTON, April 10.—There s Question when the house met today as to the order of busin An attempt was made to consider some senate amendments to a bridge bill, when Mr. Reed argued the house must proceed to vote on the motion to dis- charge the warrants issued to the scrgeant- at-arms, under the resolution of March 19, for the absentees. The motion came oy from last Saturday. Mr. Reed contended that the house presented an unseemly spec- tacle, as members were under threat of ar- rest and that the report of the sergeant-at- arms should be disposed of as a matter of privilege affecting its members. Finally it was decided to allow the whole subject to &0 over until tomorrow. Bills were passed for the protection of game in the Yellowstone park and for the punishment of crime in the park by the ex- tension of the law and jurisdiction of the Wyoming United Stutes distriet judges to its territory, and to grant chief justices in the territories power to appoint commissioners {0 take proof of land cases. Boston it possible | The house then went into committee of the whole and resumed consideration of the post- office_appropriation bill. The pending ques- tion was a point of order raised by Mr. Hen- derson, chairman of the postofice committee, against an amendment offered by Mr. Dun- phy of New York to prevent the manufac- ture of postage stamps by the bureau of en- graving and printing under the contract re- cently awarded. The point of order was sus- tained. \E The amendment to reduce ffom $243,000 to $180,000 the appropriation for the manufac- ture of stamps was adopted. An amendment providing that all publica- tions purporting (o be issued periodically to subscribers, but which are really books or parts of books, to be subject to the rates pro- vided for third-class matter when trans- mitted through the muils was adopted. The fight against the appropriation of $196,- 314 for special mail facilities on the trunk line from Springficld, Mass., via New York and Washington to Atlanta and New Or- leans then began. BRYAN TACKLES TOM REED. In the course of the debate which followed Mr. Bryan of Nebraska took the floor, and, ostensibly speakiug on the amendment, made a reply to the recently published letter of Mr. Reed to ¢. L. B. Vaughan of Hutchin- son, Kan., in which he criticized Mr. Bryan for ‘using in his speech made in Denver an extract from one of his (Reed’s) Boston tariff speeches. In that letter, which was given in these dispatches, Mr. Reed complained that the extract taken from its contents con- veyed a wrong impression. Mr. Bryan stated that the extract he used had not been taken from its context; that he had used all of the published report of the speech. More- over, he stated that Mr. iced's letter of ex- planation was written deliberately and reit- erated practically the idea in the speech from which he Lad quoted. Ile proceeded to char- acterize the specch as an appeal to section- alism; an appeal to the seifishness of New England. While Mr. Reed told the west that all the states were equally interested in the preservation of the protect- ive tariff, he told Massachusetts that she was more interested. This was a remarkable ut- terance from the leader of the republican party. He callod attention to the discrep- ancles in Mr. Reed's letter. He spoke of his reference to the Wilson il in his speech, where, as a matter of fact, the Wilson bill was not reported until a month after the speech was delivered. He had called atten- tion to Mr. Reed's letter, bec he did not want some western republican pursuing the | same line to argue that the tarift should not | be wiped ont in order that the west might at least start upon her manufacturing career and finally achieve the power and prestige now enjoyed by New Eugland. He wanted the country to know that Mr. Reed, while he stood up for protection for the whale country In the halls of congress, in Mas chusetts he held up the question, “Ignorance of the south” and the “rapacious west,” aud pleaded for special priviloges for New Eng- land. (Democratie app 8e.) REED REPLIES TO BRYAN. Mr. Reel listened to Mr. Bryan attentively. When he had finished Mr. Reed arose. The incident was of little consequence, he sald, Its only significance was that Mr. Bryan had taken what he had said in Boston and put it forth in Denver us Reed’s positive declara- tion that the passage of the Wilson bill would result in bullding up western manu- facturers to the destruction of those in the east. He was unwilling that this mistaken impression should go abroad until rectified. He found that the newspapers of the west, in the midst of the ruins of the democratic party, needed some startling lie to come and ko on. No man here would have placed a wrong construction on his speech. Every one knew, when It was delivered, although the bill had not besn reported, that free raw materials were to be used to apppease New England. There was no doubt that the course of the empire would continue to moye forward, but it should move westward withs out carrying In its wake the ruin of the consumer as well as the manufacturer. The destruction of the manufacturers would be the destruction of the manufacturing plants. Millions untold would be lost, and when re- built they would go west. If this process went on naturally it would be to the ad- vantage of the whole people, The republican doctrine of protection belleved In no class as In the doctrine of the Wilson bill. It belleved that the American people should do the work. Without acting on the amend- ment, the committee arose, and at § o'clock the house adjourncd, STATE BANK TAX REPEAL Demooratic Congressional Caucus Decides to Favor the Platform’s Promise, RESOLUTION IS UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED Avold Attendance, but Wester: n Men Push the Matter—-Part Taken by Indi- viduals in the Matter, Eastern Members and Sout WASHINGTON, April 10.—The democratic caucus, after a session of two hours and a half this evening, adopted the following reso- lutions without a dissenting vote: Resolved, That it is the sense of this cau- cus that the prohibitory tax of 10 per cent on bank issues be repealed. Resolved, That when the bill known as the Brawley and Spencer bill, which the com- mittee on banking and currency has ordered reported to the house, 1s called up for action an amendment be offered repealing the pro- hibitory tax on state banks; that ample time be offered for discussion, and, if necessary, to secure this the committee on rules be re- ted to take proper action. ctly 102 members of the house were present. The attendance from the south and west was very heavy, but only a few castern men appeared, among them being Cummings, Dunphy and Warner of ork, Piggot of Connecticut, 0'Neil of Massachusetts and_Sibley of Pennsylvania. The discussion of the repeal of the state bank tax proceeded in a desultory way for a_time and took wide range. Mr. Culberson of Texas, chairman of the judiciary commit- tee, made a strong specch in favor of it. After some further falk the above resolu- tions were offered, the first by Mr. Cox of Tennessee and the second by Mr. Culber- son. There was but little diversity of opinion in the caucns on the advisability of taking up for consideration the question of the repeal, but there was some opposition 1o unconditional repeal. The only outspoken opponents of any measures looking to the repeal of the state bank tax came from Messrs. Bryan of Nebraska and Lane and Williams of Illinois. Messrs. Gresham of Texas, Swanson of Virginia, Catchings of Mississippl, Cooper of Indiana and others ardently favored the proposition. Mr. Cum- mings of New York made a ringing speech at the end in favor of the repeal. ~ At the conclugion of his speech the resolutions were adopted and the caucus adjourned. The re- sult of the caucus means that the bill to repeal the state bank tax shall be considered as a rider to the Brawley bill, which is now on the calendar, and that a vote shall be had upen it. It was gencrally admitted in the caucus tonight that this repeal could not be accomplished unconditionally.

EVIDENCE IN THE JENKINS INVESTIGATION Chlefs Wilkinson and Wilson Appear ¥ fore the Congressional Investigating Committee — Thinks Thelr Rights Have Been Invaded. MILWAUKEE, April 10.—The Jenkins in- vestigation did not attract much of a crowd today. One or two attorneys and a few labor men came and got seats early, but except for these and the newspaper men the room was deserted up to the opening of the session. Chief Wilkinson of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen was the first witness, He related facts concerning the conference of the Northern Pacific at the time of the threatened strike. The men had thought they could not leave the employ of the rail- way. After a great deal of discussion as to the right of the chiefs to consult with the men, he and his associates came to the conclusion that they could not advise the men to leave the employ of the receivers, but could advise them to remain. To do otherwise would be in contempt of court. In reply to an inquiry by Chairman Boat- ner as to how the strikes are ordered, Mr Wilkinson said aggrieved trainmen had to make written complaint to their lodges, and these complaints are referred in turn to the local and general grievance commit- tees. The matter finally reached him, if it was not adjusted. It requires a two- thirds vote of the members and the unan- imous consent of the committee to cause a strike. All he can do is to consent to a strike, but a strike cannot be ordered with- out his consent. No steps toward a strike had been taken by the Northern Pacific men. Under cross examination by Congressman Stone Wilkinson said a strike ordinarily required a month's time to start. He de- nied that he had any power to order a strike without action by the empioyes. There are 350,000 trainmen in the United States, and about 50 per cent of them be long to the order. He is not in the employ of any road and was not affected by the order except through his official position. Replying to questions as to whether there had been any violence in the strikes he ordersd Mr. Wilkinson said there had been no violence and that violence does not al- ways accompany strikes, A conference with the receivers had been arranged for when the order was made. During a cross-examination by Mr Curtis, Chiet Wilkinson said a strike had been EXPLAINS HOW T0 STRIKE ordered January 1 and had it been obeyed it would have resulted in stopping the traffic of the road, and that the stoppage would have lasted as long as the men held out. He thought he had a legal right to confer with the employes of the Northern Pacific road to order a strike, but the road being in the bands of recelvers affected his right to some extent.

He id he did not think the court had any more right than a company had to compel the men to work, whether it held power or not. In_ answer to a question by Mr. Terry, Wilkinson said the men considered the labor organizations of very great im- portance; that without them they would be little better than serfs; that thé organi- zntions had improved the condition of the men at least 50 per cent, and that they were of great bhencilt to the company as well as the men.

His testimony was somewhat similar as to th nature of his organization and its reiations to the m. N Pacific.

MEN VOTE TO CONTINUE EASTWARD Question Unanimously Decided in Favor of that Proposition, Even at the Ex- tremity of Walking Across the Rocky Mountains, OGDEN, Utah, April 10.—(Special Telos gram to The Bee)—Ogden never passed through a day when such doubt and appre- hension _have prevailed as throughout the past twenty-four hou The day dawned on 1,200 shivering, half-starved, thinly elad wretches, huddled together on the river flats, hemmed in by armed sentries pacing back and forth on all sides, Chief Justice Merritt and Assoclate Juse tice Miner had fssued a peremptory man- date ordering these men driven back into the cattle cars that had brought them across the desert and thelr return to California forthwith. The men declared they would not return, the Southern Pacific company refused to haul them, while Governor West proclaimed that the order of the court must. be obeyed if at the point of the bayonet. That was the situation this morning, and It continues to be the situation up to the time of this dispateh (11 p. m.). The atti- tude of Governor West fs that these men shall return to California and not be por- mitted to continue eastward, cven should they be willing to walk. Neither the mayor of Ogden nor the citizens seem to be In sym- paghy with this position. i uperintendent Knapp this morning posi- tively refused to take the men out. Furthers more, he threw a bombshell into the gov- ernor's camp by serving a notice on the au- Uiorities to at once rele e cattle cars in which the industrials were loade i Is were loaded this WAITE WILL WELCOME General Kelly, the command, the army, arrived this morning from Reno, Nev., and had an interview with the goy, ernor. He sald his men were wholly with- out means, but that Governor Waite of Colo- rado had ‘extended an invitation for them to come to that state. Later in the day a vote was tuken by the army on the propo- sition of returning to California, and they unanimously decided to contlnue eastward, oven though they were obliged to walk. As these men are all thinly clad, and many of them sick, a_ walk over the range means a walk into (he Jaws of death. Governor West demands that the Southern Pacific Railroad company take the men back. C. P. Huntington wired the governor Inform- ing liis excellency it would be a great mis- take and a grave injustice fo return these poor men, who are going east to better their nditions. The company, he stated, could not move the men west at less than regular rates. The governor sent a very peremptory responge to this message, demanding that thee™destitute California paupers be re- turned at once. Toulght there scems to be some sort of an understanding that the army will go east in the morning, notwithstanding the governor las a force of 300 troops and deputies, which lie vows will be used to foree the Industrials back should they start cast on foot. They will probably not proceed far hefore captur- ing a frelght train. There fs uch sickness among the men, many beiug stricken with colds and pneunonia. SWITCHMEN FOOLED THEM. RENO, Nev., April 10.—The Reno contin- gent of the Industrial army boarded an east- bound train here this morning, climbing on top of the cars. They refused to leave the cars _when ordered. A switch cngine was then sent down to the vards and coupled to the frelght cars and before the Common- wealers knew what was happening the cars were detached from the train and were speed- ing back westward. The ‘passenger tran then procecded, and the switch engine sub- sequently brought the freight ars and the army back to the town. The leaders claim they will fgnore the injunction of the Utah courts forbidding the army (o march into that territory. They say they will call it “A Heaven-on-Hand Army on a Pilgrimage to Washington and will claim the constitu- tonal right " of performuing - (helr religlous duty. CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 10.—If the west- ern wing of the Coxey army comes here it will be taken to the stock yards, a mile easy of the town, and fed by the city. An effort will be made to have the army move on within an hour after reaching here. Special policemen will be employed to keep the men from scattering through the city.
