WY IT WASN’T SIGNED President Cleveland Writes Another Letter on the Tariff Bill. DEFENSE OF HIS POSITION. Mr. Catching. Make* Public Intonating Corre*|»on<ienc«—Mr. Cleveland Disappointed, but Unwilling to Impliedly Heparate From Hl* Party by a Veto. Heathlng Criticism of Party Traitors. Washington, Aug. 28.—The president yesterday sent the following letter to Representative Catchings of Mississippi, who later consented to its publication in view of its public character and importance: Exec utive Mansion, Washington, Aug. 27. To Hon. T. C. Catchings: My Dear Sin—-Since the conversation I had with you and Mr. Clark of Alabama a few days ago, in regard to my action upon the tariff bill now before nte, I have given the subject further aud most, serious consideration. The result is, I am more settled than in the determination to allow the bill to become a law without my signature. When the formulation of legislation which it was hoped would embody

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND. Democratic ideas of tariff reform was lately entered upon by the congress nothing was further from my anticipation than a result, which I could not promptly and enthusiastically indorse. It is therefore with a feeling of the utmost disappointment that I submit to a denial of this privilege. Cause of Disappointment. I do not claim to be better than the masses of my party, nor do 1 wish to avoid any responsibility which, on account of the passage of this law, I ought to bear as a member of the Democratic organization; neither will I permit myself to be separated from my party to such an extent as might lx*, implied by my veto of tariff legis- ■ lation which, though disappointing, is still chargeable to Demottlftife effort. But there are provisions in this bill which are not in line with honest tariff reform and it contains inconsistencies and crudities which ought not to appear in tariff laws, or laws of any kind. Besides, there were, as you and I welL know, incidents accompanying the passage of the bill through congress which made every sincere reforriier unhapjjy, while influences surrounded it in its latter stages and interfered with its final construction which ought not to be recognized or tolerated in Democratic tariff reform councils. And yet. notwithstanding all its vicissitudes and al! the bad treatment it received at the hands of pretended friends, it presentoa vast improvement to existing conditions. It will lighten many tariff burdens that now rest heavily upon the people. It is not only a barrier against the return of mad protection, but it furnishes a vantage ground from which must be waged further aggressive operations against protected monopoly and governmental favoritism. Deadly Blight of Treason. I take my place with the rank and file of the Democratic party who believv in tariff reform and who know what it is; who refuse to accept the results embodied in this bill at the close of the war: who are not blinded to the fact, that the livery of Democratic tariff reform has been stolen and worn in the service of Republican protection, and who have marked the places where the. deadly blight of treason has blasted the councils of the brave in their hour of might. The trusts and combinations—the communism of pelf—whose machinations have prevented us from reaching the success we deserve, should not be forgotten or for given. We siia.ll recover from our aston ishment at their exhibition of power, and if then the question is forced upon us whether they shall submit to the free legislative will of the people’s representatives, or shall dictate the laws which the people must obey, we will accept and settle that issue as one involving the integrity and safety of American institutions, I love the principles of true Democracy, because they are founded in patriotism and upon justice and fairness toward all interests, I am proud of my party organization, because it is conservatively steady and persistent in the enforcement y»f its principles. Therefore I do not despair of the efforts made by the houswf representatives to supplement the mil already passed by further legislation, and to have engrafted upon it such modifications as will more nearly meet Democratic hopes and aspirations. Free Raw Material a Basis of Reform. I can’t be mistaken as to the necessity of free raw materials as the foundation of logical and sensible tariff reform. The extent to which this is recognized in the legislation already secured is one of its encouraging and redeeming features; but it it vexatious to recall that while free coal and iron ore have been denied, a letter of the secretary of the treasury discloses the sic-t that both might have been made free oy tue annual surrender ot only about §IOO,OOO of unnecessary revenue. lam sure that there is p common of Underestimating the importance of free raw materials in tariff legislation, and of regarding them as only related to concessions io be made to our manufacturers. The truth is, their jnthiencq is so far-reaching that, if, disregardt •01 complete and beueiicivut | scheme of tariff reform cannot be successfully inaugurated. When we give, to our manufacturers free raw materials we iimdmckle American enterprise anti ingenuity, and these will open the doors of foreign markets to the reception of our wares and give opnurt unity

for ttir eoiitnmoiis ana vei.uuwrutlve employment o< American labor. Urged F> Continue the Struggle. With mati'rlals cheapened by their freedom from tariff charges the highest of their product must lie correspondingly cheapened. I'hereiqxui justice and fairness to the consumer would demand that the manufacturers Im- obliged to submit to such a readjustment and modification of the tariff upon their finished goods as would secure to the people the benefit of the reduced cost of their manufacture and shield the eonmimer against exactions of inordinate profits, ft will thus be seen that free raw materials ami a just and fearless regulation and reduction of the tariff, to meet the changed conditions, would carry to every humble home in the land the blessings of increased comfort and cheaper living. The millions Os our countrymen who have fought bravely and well for tariff reform should be' exhorted to continue the struggle, Wildly challenging to open warfare and constantly guarding against treachery and half-hearted neas in their camp. Tariff reform will not be settled until it is honestly and fairly settled in the interest and to the Iteneflt of a patient and long suffering people. Yours, very truly, Grover Cleveland. PULLMAN'S DEFENSE. His Eble of tlie Strike Story Not Strengthened by His Admissions. Chicago, Aug. 28.—George M. Pullman repeated to the strike commission yesterday afternoon his oft repeated views of the strike and the incidents leading to it. Judge Worthington brought out the fact that the company had all along paid dividends, accumulated $25,000,(XX) surplus, and that, taking the whole year through, the company had made money. The $2,800,000 paid out in dividends, Mr. Pullman claimed, were from sleepingcm - profits, and he saw no reason why that should have been taken to pay men higher wages in the manufacturing branch. He did not know that the company had ever voluntarily advanced wages. His opposition to tlie proposition to arbitrate was gone over, he making the old claim that there could be nothing to arbitrate when he knew matters were thus and so. Judge Worthington wanted to know wherein it was wrong to take the money of the stockholders and pay higher wages when the management was ready to take contracts at a loss, or take the stockholders' money to keep the plant going. Mr. Pullman said the execution of contracts at a loss was better for the plant than to let it lie idle. “So,” interrupted Mr. Kernan, “you had that in view as well as the employment of the men? You did not want to stop the plant because you knew that would be a loss to stockholders, and yon did not want to scatter your men because you knew it would be difficult to get a force together again that would do economical work?” “Yes.” “Was your salary reduced, Mr. Pullman?” The witness replied that it had not been. “Nor the salaries of’superintendent or foremen?” “No.” “Why?” • ' Mr. Pullman said it was not good policy tp reduce the'salaries of high officials, because men of their caliber were not easily replaced. Vice President Wickes was called. He rehearsed the story of the strike and corroborated Mr. Pullman.

wNEmmw It Goes Into Operation Without the President’s Signature. HIS VIEWS MADE PUBLIC. Adjournment of Oongrew* Thl* Afternoon Marked by but Few Play fa! Scene*. Reciprocity a* Effected by the New Tariff Meanure —Other Affair* of the Capital. Aug. 28.—The tariff bill, passed after a struggle which has excited more of public interest than any proposed governmental policy in years, became law at midnight without the signature of President Cleveland, the 10-day constitutional limit having txpirdd at that hour. Late yesterday evening Congressman Catchings of Mississippi made public a letter written to him by the president on the subject of the tariff, and this was the first authentic knowledge of Cleveland's intd&tipn which had come to the public since the bill’s destiny was <• >ll- - to the chief executive. In this letter (published elsewhere) the president set forth his reasons for failure to sign or veto, and took occasion to pay his not much to be enjoyed respects to the “traitors” who donned the “Republican coat of protection.” The action was--just what had been predicted for several days, and it is probable that the interesting letter was at least partially prepared during the recent visit to Gray Gables. It was practically a year ago that the preparation of the new tariff law was commenced. The extraordinary session of congress was called Aug. 7, 1893, for the purpose of repealing the Sherman silver purchasing law. Two weeks later the ways aud means committee of the house was appointed, and almost immediately the work of framing the Democratic tariff reform measure began. Months were spent in its preparation, and it was not reported until after the holidays. For three weeks it was debated in the house, passing that body Jan. 29 by a vote of 204 to 240. Seventeen house Democrats voted against it. The bill went to the senate and after being considered until March 20 was reported, greatly changed from the house bill. The debate which began in the senate April 2 lasted until July 20, when the bill passed by a vote of 39 to 34. The crisis occurred when the bill reached conference. On Aug. 13 thi' house yielded and accepted the senate bill in toto. Everything is bustle about the treasury department, upon which devolves the duty of putting the law into effect.

CONGRESS CLOSED. End of the Scission Mark <! by tint Slight Deinonstrat ion. Washington, Aug. 28.—At 'fo’elc.ck this afternoon .congress adjourned after its most remarkable session. There was an attempt to enact the playful incidents usual to such events, but there were not enough members present in either branch to make the occurrence one of especial interest. Those, however, who had not run away at the first sign of a cessation of business seemed cheerful in a knowledge of duty performed \so far as presence was concerned), and in many instances conducted themselves like schoolboys being released for summer vacations. Alcohol Io the Arts. Washington, Aug. 28.—1 t is believed that the new tariff bill making alqohol used in the arts free of internal revenue canfiot-be enforced, as there arc' 200,000 druggists who use it to some extent foisuch purposes. As there are certain provisions to be complied with and ni> appropriation for the small army of collectors necessary to enforce them, the secretary will probably issue no instructions ou the subject. Japanese Minister lu Washington. Washington, Aug. 28.—Shitinichro Kurino, the Japanese minister, reached the city late yesterday afternoon and at ouce proceeded to the legation residence. The minister will, it is ejepwted, assume his duties very promptly, its he hopes to be formally received by the president before the latter's departure from the city, as without it he, has no ofi'.eial standing.
