The Republioan View ot the Wilson Bill Presented.

AS ABSTRACT OF THE LONG DOCUMENT.

It la Declared a Measure That Neither Raises Government Revenue Nor Give* Protection—The tarty

Pledges Unfulfilled.

MINORITY BEFOKT OS THK TARIFF.

WASHINGTON, Deo. 2A—The report of the minority members of the ways and means committee on the tariff bill ^vas submitted to the house Thursday. The first part of the report, discussing* the bill g-enerally, waa prepared by exq Speaker Reed. The other members of the minority-^Messrs. Burrows, Payne, Dalzell, Iiopkins and Gear—^prepared the portion of the report dealing with 6peoial features. The report says:

The most surprising thing about this bill is the faot that this proposition

raise revenue

will lower the revenue of this country 174,000,000 below the revenue of 1093, which was only 12.000,000 above our expenses.

This faot and the otner faot that by thta bill the larger part of the burden of taxation is transferred from foreigners and borne by our own citizens should always be kept In mind during the dlsoussion. Had the oomsnlttee, In making what the obalrman on the floor of the house has oalled a "politloal bill" followed the plain uncompromising declaration of the party which they represent, and abolished protection, giviug us a tariff for revenue only, our task in commenting upon the result of the committee's effort* would have been much more simple. The bill would then have been a straightforward, manly attempt to carry out pledges and would have placed in issue two great principles and have led to a dear and Comprehensible discussion. 80 far, however, have the eommlttoe departed from the demands of their national oonventlon that we should have been much tempted to borrow a phrase from their own platform and designate the bill as a '"cowardly makeshift," were it not that the results have been already too serious for mere epithet* Such a phrase, even thus sanctioned, would be out of place In a discussion which Involves so much /of lm portance to all masses of ottizens. It still, however, remains a faot that the blll«pre*ented can In no way be justified by people who olalm to have obtained possession of all branches of the government upon a dlstloot promise, which they now as distinctly repudiate lr It should be said that the pledges, solemnly made on a yea and nay vote, after full discus* slon, were not Intended for action, then the breaking of the pledges has the additional dlsadvantage of premeditation. If subsequent events have convinced the committee that the demooratio platform Is utterly wrong and indefensible as history will know it to be, then it is a great misfortune to tula country that the committee did not have the oourage to openly abandon the false dootrlne and leave the country undisturbed, ao that It mlffht convalesce from the shook of Its sreat mistake.

But the committee, instead of proceeding in its great work of abolishing proteotion and preserving the people from the load of taxation which they have always averred was the result of proteotion, has presented a bill which is only another tariff tinkering bill, the like of which has disturbed the conditions of business so many times the last thirty years. It is a great misfortune that such is the case, for had tho bill been for revenue only. In the only sense possible for that term, the people of this oountry might have seen at one glance whether they desired the one polioy or the other, and the question might have been settled once for all. and tbe country might have attained to that repose, stability and certainty which our business prosperity so much needs

Why Change a Good Law?

As to the new plan, the very first question one is disposed to ask Is: Why disturb existing business relations if there is to be no change in principle? If we are still to havo protection, why take this time to cause a readjustment when the business conditions are of such a oharacter that the greatest amount of disaster will be the result?

This other and fresher plan has all the faults which tbe framers of this bill oharged upon the old. and very few of its virtue a It Is open to all the derisive and harsh epithets with which the present system used to be overwhehnmi. It taxes the people with tariff taxes. It creates, or rather proposes to maintain, what they used to call privileged olasses, aud is defended by its authors by arguments and expressions strangely like those which they used So hotly to denounce. "Free Kaw Material."

Tho new plan involves anew method of encouraging manufacturers by giving them what Is called "free raw material,'1 so that what oes into the mill pays no taxes and what goes 12to consumption pays all the taxes. The manufacturers pay no taxes on what they buy and the people the equivalent of taxes on all they purchase.

It unfortunately happens, also, that "free raw material" is an elastic term, and what is one man's free raw material is another man's tinisbed product The manufacturer in Massachusetts is told that he is to be encouraged bv havlu* free lumber to build his factory and to paok his goods, but Inasmuch as that very lumber thus made free is the Maine manufacturer's finished product no wonder the democrats of Bangor, the mills on the Penobscot being unable to move a saw, denounoe "olass legislation" with a new appreciation of what class legislation really means. And with the dwellers on the Penobscot sympathize the lumbermen in Wis* consin and Michigan, the Pacltto slope, Alabama, Georgia and Florida No doubt the minors In Mlohigan struggling tnls very moment with starvation realize that the most odious class legislation there can possibly be is the legislation which proteots labor in the mitt and leaves it in the mines to the charity of tie great oltle*

Needs of American Wool.

If the woolens of America need, as this very bill assumes, 30 and 40 per oent. to enable them to have a fair chance in our own markets, where is the unlimited foreign trade which awaits them in countries where thej are stripped of the SO and 40 per oent. proteotion and obliged to pay freight and all other oharges and fight business connections existing for scores of yearsf AH the objections so often urged by the dominant party against the existing system, we repeat, be against this bill. The difference is only one of degree If the present system oe "robbery," as these men have iterated and reiterated, the proposed system Is pre* olsely the same.

It is true the oonsumer will no longer pay tribute to the western farmer for the wool of tbe sheep, but the New England and othermanufacturers are still authorized to lay tribute upon the citizens of the United States who must pay, so these men have always paid 80, 40 and 46 per cent, to the manufacturer on ev ery yard of woolens and worsteds, whlls the country will only receive, by way of revlessened sum, unless increased

igan will be stripped of their so-called robber gains entirely, and tbe railroads must lose the transportation of millions of tons of freight but the manufacturers are thereby stimulated and aided so that they oan, as the committee asseverate, still continue their profitable business here and reach across the ocean for the business of other countries and foreign trade without limit

Labor and the Tariff.

Tbe moral and social well-being of a nation does not depend so muoh. upon Its absolute wealth as upon the yearly distribution of the yearly gain. Whatever oan be said of the people of the United States, nothing oan be more truly said than that tbe distribution of tho proceeds of united labor and capital has been among them more even and fair than anywhere else on earth. There have been great accumulations of oapital necessary for the world's development all over tbe universe, but In the United

THE DAILY JOURNAL.

sure market, bv establishing the organization of Industry under the faotory system, has given to organized labor the material to work up*n, the fund of which It has demanded distribution.

Protection has established the clusters of great manufacturing and working centers whloh have given railroads the possibility of existence whloh no scattered population oould ever have created. The railroads which these great manufacturing towns and their need of transportation of freight have built are sources of enjoyable wealth whloh are not confined to the protected industries, but ars spread through all the business of the United States and in wurope to the comfort and happiness of all the people.

Without being guilty of that attempt %o press the question into a nutshell, which Is the bane of economic discussion, It jinay be briefly said

that every product which goes to market must meet every other like product on equal terms. If in the united States there are higher wages and a higher cost of capital there must be such barriers against goods from abroad as will equalize these higher oosts, or the products of the Untied States cannot be sold exieptata loss. Sales at a loss cannot long continue. It may be flattering to our national vanity to be tola that our workmen, being Americans, arc

much abler than othors beyond seas that ihey can there for do much more work that the higher wages will continue as a mark of their superiority. But much as we would like to believe this there are no manufacturing figures which justify the assertion.

A Demand for Lower Prices. There is also a constant demand for lower prices, which demand has to be listened to 1n a country always striving toward a higher plane of civilization. We have, therefore, before us always three problems—wages to be main* tained, hours of labor to be lessened, and prloos to be lowered. Not one, but all.

It Is true that Invention at once keeps paoe with and regulates the demand for higher wages and lower prices and fewer hours, whloh are the conditions of our higher plane of civilzatlon, butit cannot do mora Itcannetmoet in addition tho lower prices of a lower level of civilisation.

Our Inventions are too quickly absorbed by foreign couuirles to permit this. Hence the result of a refusal to protect our labor at Its present rates must result In lower wages.

Some men soothe themselves with the. thought that perhaps some return will come from the cheapness of things made abroad, without thinking that all that is made abroad by this plan is But labor unemployed and unpaid hore at homo. But while this easy solution of the problem is simple enough on paper, it will prove very uncomfortable in practice. Men who have worked at one rate of wages oannot be easily taught in real life that it Is just as well to work at a lower rate.

Another fjaentlon of Wages. There Is also another view of the question of wages which 1s not to be overlooked. Lessened wages mean lessened consumption. If wages were diminished one half, one-half our market for products would be goo*. But while tins bill In its principle, if it has any. is not uuprotectlve. it will be absolutely so in practioe not only In its direct reduction*, but aisn in its indirect re duotions sure to ootno from the change from specific duties to ad valorem, which is a marked feature of the bill.

An ad valorem duty, as the name implies, is one which varies according to the price. If prices could be exactly determined nothing would seem to be fairer than the ad valorem duty. But, unfortunately, prices are very much matters of opinion, on which honest men may differ much and rogues much more. Inasmuch as the duty depends on the price, a cheat on the price k. a cheat on the duty. If a piece of goods is worth 16 a yard and the duty is per cent, tbe correct duty is tl 50. If the price be lavoiced at 15 a yard ana the fraud not deteotcd the duty collected becomes 91 25, and the ad valorem, which seems to be 25 per cent, beoomes about 20 per oent and not onfy Is tbe overuznent cheated out. of its quarter of a dolar, but the manufacturer Is cheated out of one-fifth of the protection his government has promised him.

This is not theory. It is within the experience of every, merchant that goods which can not be purchased at all in Europe can be purchased, duty paid In New York at lcwer prices than like goods can be puroha'.ed by the hones: meichatu who values them at ttheir true market value and pays tho duty demanded by the government, and yet these ad valorem duties thus objectionable have been increased in number everywhere, being substituted in nearly all the schedules for speeillc duties.

How the bill will act as a revenue raiser, and how It can rfct as an Injury to the government and the producer both together, is well exemplified in the changes mude in the pottery schedule.

Only an amount equal to two-fifths of the amount of the imports are made hero, valued at

tS.S'JO.OOO.

Nine millions and a half arc Im

ported. Under existing law the revenuo obtained is

16,500,000.

Under the proposed bill.

If tbo manufacturers hold their own, and the most sanguine friend would not dream of that tbe loss In revenue would be

F2.000.003.

if the

manufactures were entirely driven out and all our wares should be imported the loss of revenue ovon then would be i832,000. The crookery schedule seems hardly to be managed with a view to revenue.

It would of course be utterly impossible to follow into details tue reasons which have Induced the changes made by the bill. They seem to be the result of information obtained in secret, and in nowise communicated to the republicans on the oommittee. All the public hearings and public testimony have been set aside and the bill has been framed on Information 01 witnesses who have not been oross-examlned and whose testimony has not visited the light of day.

EfTects of the New RU1.

Whtle it would be impossible to spccify the probable effects of this bill, a few of the most important mav be briefly touched upon.

As to the future relations between Canada and the United States, It perhaps would not be decorctus for us to talk fully, but there are those who belleye that what they think is the manifest destiny of this continent Is one natlou and one market and one deveiopififnt

Those who have thautbought In their minds as they scan the bill will see how little this bill compared with existing law. conduces to that end. Those on the other hand who *look upon the Dominion simply as another nation will be surprised to see how freely is accorded to her privileges and opportunities In derogation ol those of our own citizens privileges and op portunlties for which the Dominion would be glad to give ample and unstinted concessions. By this bill they receive them all without money and without prloe.

Another serious general objection to the bill Is that it decreases the revenue according tc the calculations usually made bv the treasury ueuartment as'oompared with 1&3 about 174.000,000. This large deficit, coming as It does upon a depleted treasury, Is rather appalling in a bill for revenue only. How this great hole In our resources, as a nation, is to be filled, no one knows. At this date not even the committee knows Itself, unless the president, anticipating In his message to congress the report of the committee on wavs and means, shall afford to the committee Itself Its wished for clew.

Against the consideration of suoh a bill creating suoh a defiolt and leaving It unaccounted for, the minority vainly protested when the bill was laid before the committee. Who would dare, if of sound and statesmanlike mind, to create a deficit of

174,000,000

and blindly vote it

with no plan in sight whereby the government could meot Its expenditures? That same protest we make to the house and to the country.

While as party men we might roioloe at its passage, as citizens of the United States we think the exigencies of the present time are superior to even the most desired politloal advantage, and advise that tho bill do not pass.

THE MIDWINTER~FAIR.

Flrsl reparations for the Opening: at San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Deo. 22. —Final preparations are being made for the greatest erent erer witnessed on the Pacific coast. On January 1, 1894, the gates of the California midwinter international exposition will be thrown open. Visitors will be entertained amid a profusion of palms an flowers. The exposition, which, in its inclpieney, was looked upon by many as nothing more than a side-show to the Columbian exposition, has developed into one of far greater magnitude than its mest sanguine supporters dreamed of. When the idea was born iu the minds of its promoters it was thought that five buildings would cover all the requirements, but to-day over seventy building's are to be seen in the 160 acres set aside in Golden Gate park for the purpose. As a special attraction the services of the Iowa state band have been secured to play during the continuance of the exposition.

CHICAGO,

Deo. 22.—In the L'oughlin

trial on Thursday the. morning's session was taken up by Judire Wing's cross-examination of l)r. Charles k\ Perkins. The doctor could not say whether the wounds fotind on Dr. Cronin's head were mude before or after death. lie gave as his opinion that the cause of Dr. Cronin's death was concussion of the brain oausud by blows on the head.

Mrs. Foy Cullrtl.

The sensation of the day came during* the afternoon, when the state called Mrs. Andrew Foy to the witness stand. She is expected to tell of the negotiations for the Oouin munier whioh were arranged at her residence, and in which Dan Coughlin played a prominent part. Her appearance was a surprise to the defense and to Judge Tuthill as well, as no intimation of their intention had been given by the prosecution. Coughlin's counsel were at once on their feet with abjections to the testimony of Mr*. Foy being given until they had time to preparo for lier cross-examination.

Kays She la In Danger.

The assistant states attorney replied that for months the prosecution had had Mrs. Foy under their charge, but that during all of that time she was in danger of being murdered or abducted. Every effort had been made to prevent her appearance as a witness, but without avail. She had determined to testify even though it cost her her life. It was the fear of the state that unless her evidence was placed before the jury very soon some of the threats would be carried out. They had no assurance that she would be alive to testify even if the giving of her evidence were postponed for one day. Judge Tuthill said he desired to still further investigate the question of the admissibility of her evidence, and after some further discussion the state agreed to a postponement until to-day.

A Guard Pl*c«l Over Her.

Mrs. Foy stepped down from the witness stand and Judge Tuthill left the bench and held a consultation with her. lie was informed that she had dueiug the day received au anonymous letter beseeching her not to turn informer, and threatening her with death ii siie should testify iu the case. Judge Tuthill thereupon ordered guard to be placed at her residence and when she left the courtroom an oflicar walked by her side.

Thursday night two big policemen kept watch in the house of Andrew Foy, at No. 338 North Franklin street, with orders to respond to any call from Mrs. Foy.

Her IIusbADd Plead, with Her.

A number of rumors passed about th« courtroom relating to the extent which Andrew Foy'a "pleading" with his wife has gone. It was given out that only Wednesday night the life ol the woman was threatened, and it is known that until 4 o'clock in the morning Andrew Foy uaed every puaceable meant in his power to prevent her from testifying. Despite hor sleepless nights and weary days she left home at 11 o'clock to be present and tell all she could about the conspiracy which resulted In the murder of Dr. Cronin.

A BIFF Bribe Offered.

It is said that an attempt to bribe her has been made within the last few days, and that she has been promised $10,000 and powerful friendships for herBelf and family during their lives if she would decline to go on the stand. With this money she has been told she and her husband and little ones could lead a quiet, comfortable and respectable life, while if she refused poverty and persecution would be her fate in all coming years. She resisted the bribe and is prepared to face all consequenoes, she says, for the sake of truth and justice.

RESTORATION IS TO BE RESISTED.

AU the Horrora of War Are Tlireateaed —I'resldeut Dole's Ultimatum Minister Willis Keeps a

Close Mouth.

HONOLULU IS IIRKAD.

SAN FHANCISOO, Dec. 83.—The steamship Mariposa, which has just arrived from Honolulu, reports the arrival at that port of the United States outter Corwin with dispatches to Minister Willis, the contents of whioh had not been declared. The general belief at Honolulu was that tho minister was instructed to make every effort to restore the queen short of force. The provisional government at Honolulu has prepared an ultimatum declaring its intention to resist with military force all attempts to overthrow it.

The provisional government is confident and will flght if attasked. Americans and the government are prepared for the flght which may be precipitated at any moment. The government insists in the belief that no trouble will occur. This is not the general opinion among Americans. The militia are all iu readiness aud within twenty minutes 1,000 men could be in the field to defend the provisional government.

Interpreted Cleveland's Message.

Interviews with the cabinet show that the government Interprets President Cleveland's message to congress to mean: "I will restore the ex-queen peacefully, if possible, and in case I find this cannot be done I will refer the matter to congress for settlement" "The provisional government," said President Dole, "has arranged every detail for protecting life and property, and is also well prepared to resist with force the overthrow of the provisional government if attempted by external means. If the worst catnes we will make a stubborn resistance." The very latest order which has been issued has been to the citizent' reserve guard to be on the alert.

OnTerumcut Ready for an Attack. The provisional government has been carrying out the planB of defense ilready reported and the last 5,000 land-bags are being filled to be placed in position upon the upper verandas of the executive mansion in case an attack is made.

Dole's Ultimatum.

The government has framed an ultimatum in which It declines to negotiate for the restoration of the erown and declares that it will resist with military force any and every attempt to overthrow the provisional government This ultimatum is held ready to be sent to Minister Willis should he tnter upon the falflllrueut of his Initructions.

View* of Rgftllila.

Conversations with leading royalists develop the belief that President Cleveland will endeavor to carry out h's policy of restoration and that he will receive sufficient backing in the present congress to enable him to do so. They admit that the entire dependence ot their cause rests now upon the flrmoess displayed by Mr. Cleveland. They adn)it that without the armed support sf the United States they have no hopes jf reestablishing the monarchy, and that without foreign aid they have no tiope of overthrowing tbe provisional government

The royalists claim that if congress refuses to settle the matter in favor of the ex-queen, as proposed by Mr. Cleveland, the Hawaiian affair is liable at iny moment to assume international proportions and hint that both England *nd Japan will take a hand. Little jredence is given this view.

All efforts to find out the position be taken by the British in case trouble sccurs have thus far failed. Everybody jonnected with the British legation is ominously silent

Minister Willi. Ia silent.

Minister Willis has absolutely nothng to say on the situation beyond a reiteration that he is awaiting further 'nstructions from Washington, which bave been made necessary by certain :ontingencies which have arisen since ais arrival. What those contingencies ire no man knows officially.

The Ex-Queen'. Policy.

Inquiry into the ex-queen's polioy in :he case of her restoration is outlined by several of her leading politicians to be one in which general amnesty will be granted to her opponents, with few exceptions. After careful inquiry among the leading royalists these exceptions were earned to be President Dole, Minister Thurston, Attorney General W. O. smith and Chief Justice Jtiddof the lupreme court The annexationists ilnim that the ex-queenwill never have a lhance to display either her good will or hatred against these men, or any others, IO long as there is an American alive in Ffawaii.
