RENSSELAER JASPER COUNTY. INDIANA. FRIDAY FEBRUARY 1. 1889

Close of the Senate Tariff Debate. Ou Senator Reagan’s amendment to the wool item, Senator Turpie spoke as follows: Mr. Turpie. Mr. President, I voted for fiee wool, and therefore I can not consistently vote for this amendment. 1 voted for it notwithstanding the pretended claim made upon the other side of the Chamber in behalf of protection. The party seeking what is called protection now are divided into three classes: First, the bulk es dealers and jobbers; the second class is the manuiaßturers, some of whom are said to be opposed to free wool and some of whom are said to be in f-ivor of it; and the third party appearing to be the wool-growers, estimated by the honorable from Ohio to be 1,000,000. There is a much more numerous class, however, of the American people who are interested. The persons who wear and use woolen clothing and woolen fabrics embrace, I think, th© whole population of the United States, 65,000,000. They exceed in numbers the wool-growers, or the woolen manufacturers, or ny other parties who are interested in the product of wool. I think they a v e also the parties who most need protection, aud that we, in voting to take the tax off wool, are thus the true protectionists affording protection to the most numerous class and those who most need it. I doubt very much the circumstances recited here about the decrease in the number of sheep and the decrease in the amount of the> wool piocluct. I doubt whether if the faet exists it has had any connection with the tariff legislation upon this subject. These statements are antiquated fallacies long ago exploded that two things contemporaneous mus necessarily bear the relation to each other of cause and effect.

Vicious as I believe a high prohibitory system to be to all the industrial interests of the country, I would not yet thinK that the chol•r the yellow fever, though both of those plagues have visited us during the regime of prohibitory tariffs, are in any measure to be attributed to that system. I believe, indeed, that tariff legislation had no More to do with those pestilences than it has had to do with the fact stated by the honorable Senator from Ohio. Even if it were true it would not change my course. I believe a large amount of the revenue paid upon imported wools will be added immediately to the price of th=> domestic article —that the wool of the factors and the most numerous, will be to that extent benefitted bj untaxed wool. Even if that <vere not so I do not think that men, women and enildren should be scantily or meanly cl d for the sake of clothing sheep better or for the sake of increasing the number of sheep or clothing them with fine and long wool instead of coarse or short wool.

I believe the sheep was made for man, not man for the herd or flock, and that therefor® if the interests of the herd and floak collide with the interests of humanity, the former must be subordinated. But 1 do net think there can be any collision. No legislation can bring it abovt. The great industry of sheep culture and all she factors dependent upon it will find their profit, not by virtue of legislation, but in spite of hostile to it in the necessities of the country. The question was «sked by the Senator from North Carolina [Mr. Vance], and by the Senator from Missouri J" Mr. Vest], with reference to this wool schedule generally, and with reference to the metal schedule, and with . eference to all the schedules in this bill, why is the highest rate of duty, or a very high one, placed upon the cheaper and coarser articles? In this case the cheapest and the coarsest fabrics of wool are subject to the highest rate es duty and the finer fabrics are subj et to a lower ono. That is a question

every way worthy of an answer. — It h*s not been answered. It remains without answer. The reason is obvious. These monopolists now in existence, protected by the high protective tariff, and the monopolists by the passage of this law to be protected, under which I have no doubt a new species of thia vermin will appear who will crawl to*the surface like grubs an worms after a rain-storm in -ummer—both these classes know very well that to place the highest rata of dnty unon an expensive article will give them the command simply of a limited market the tribute-payers (and these are very few)—will be composed only of a number of oar people who are wealthy and well-to-do, whu can buy or use such articles of fine or refined manufacture.

But when you impose the highest tax upon articles of coarse material, then, the tax or tribut ?- payers being coexis ent with the pepul tion ©f the Republic, every man, woman, and child becomes subject to that exaction and the monopoly becomes universal. — This is undoubtedly the reason of this discrimination. Therefore, dividends aocrue to the owners andj holders of shares as manu? facturing corporations and large fortunes are made within two or three year j and the often retir©. Such persons udder the provisions of this bill may retire from active business in a very short period.— They have become men of wealth, men of capital. They subscribe liberally to the Home Market League; they pay penny-a-liners to malign the Demecratic p <rty as an English party, as a French party, as a German party, as an Australian party. They eat, drink, and are merry. They have solved the alchemy of life, itself — solved it bv ap act of Congress merely to extract from the earnings of others the abundant means of their own luxury and fashionable display. I very much regret that the consideration of such a,measure sho’d not only occupy the day but should have fallen to a night session and a session before 12 o’clock. Ido not think it would have hurt the measure to have had a fu’l sessiwn in all the consideration given to this bill.

I suppose all hffve concluded now for several weeks that this magnificent scheme of eclectic plunder will reach here its consummation, and will to the extent of the action of 4 this body receive the sanction and force of law.— Th • victim is bound securely to the altar. There is no way or hope of escape. Why should there be any unseemly or unusual haste in* offering thd sacrifice? Is it indispensab’y necessary that the stupendous holocaust of the interests of land and labor should be offered up on a day certain? For notwithstanding what is said about diversifying interests, I remind honorable Senators that taxation can not be diversified. All these taxes will come from the j roduct of land and labor.

Again, sir, there may be other considerations. How far, sir, will the high prohibitory features of this bill, those features which distinguish it from the original bill, which distinguish it from every other measure ever reported to the American Congress—those features which propose absolutely to destroy the American protective system and to substitute in its place the Chinese system of prohibition and of prohibitory duties and rates of commercial exclusion —how far will these gain acceptance outside of this body ? The presiding officer. The Senator’s t me has expired.

A Scotch clergyman lately in a temperance address said: “ft Paul had recommended to Timothy Epsom salts instead of wine, less would be h°ard of the advice to drinkwinefor the stomach’s sake.” Not a single baby has been born in Liberty, Ky., for thirteen years. Liberty has a population of 700.

VOTED BLOCKS OF FIVE.

DUDLEY’S ADVICP WAS THEN ONCE. Fvidenc' Produced to Show That the Instructions in th© Celebrated Letter Were Carried Out in Detail —A Good Prospect for the Indictment of Dudley. 1 [lndianapolis Sentinel.] After all Col. “Doubleu” Dudley may be indicted by the federal grand jury. Judge Woods made a pretty big loop-hole in the law, but the great corruptionist’s guilt is so patent that he may not be able to crawl through. In other words, it can probably be s own that somebody acted in accordance with his instruc tious. Even after “resolving all doubts in favor of the accused,” in accordance with Judge Woods’ last instructions to he grand jury, there will probably )e evidence submitted that w’ll make Col. Dudley, as well as the rest of republican politicians, e - ceedingly apprehensive. Late Monday night Deputy U. 3. Marshal Chris Stein arrived lere with dames and Übert Woods, of Kempton, Tipton county, who had been placed under arrest for violation of the election hits. The specific charge is a wholesale buying of voters. On the eve of Nov. 6 last the two ran thirty or forty floaters into an old building and kept them there until the next morning, the door of the building being locked and guarded.

The next day it was notorious that these “floaters” were marched to the polls in ‘blocks of five.” — As they were taken along Ue streets the citizens of Tipton became excited and hooted the procession continually. Circumstances indicate that J osephand Albert Woods acted in accordance with the instructions contained in the Dudley letter. One of the ‘‘blocks of five” had been offered $lO a head for their votes. The failure of the Woodses to comply with th dr part of the contract has led to developments

that will render their conviction very prohable Suit was brought in the squire’s court by Joseph Bridget, member of one of the blocks of five, in vhich Joseph and Albert Woods and others were made tne defendants. The case, however never came to trial, as the defendants effected a compromise, paying the costs.' The prisoners gave bond in the sum of SSOO each, but they may be detained here to give testimony before the grand jury.

As the grand jury work proceeds, the majority for Harrison in this state grows less and less. With a few months more of investigation Cleveland v ould probably have a majority of 5,0 X) or 10,000. Samuel B. E asminge ’, of Danville, Hendricks county, chairman of the committee of his district, iwas arrested by Deputy U. S. Marshal Ward for swearing man illegal vote —Amos Walker. He gave bond in the sum of SSOO. William Blakely and James Thomas were arrested for illegal voting. Th«y gave bond in the sum of SSOO.

If there is a probability of the indictment of Dudley in spite of the late supplemental instructions, it will behoove Judge Woods to prepare further “suppiementals’’ in order to save the inventor of the “blocks of five” plan.

Romance in a Spool of Thread.

[New York Truth.] The er gagement between young Ur. Coates, the son of the famous Coates, of Paisley, Scotland, the big cotton manufacturer, to Miss Clark, daughter of the equally wealthy and famou j American manufacturer of Newark, N. J., has a charming bit of romance about it. For years the houses of Coates and Clark have been at bitter loggerheads, and a commer-

cial warfare of considerable dimensions has raged constantly constantly between them. Soma little time since it entered the head of Coatea pere that a littl© diplomacy might possibly a stop to the absurd and bitter feeling exisling between himself and his lival m America, and so he seat his son to this country armed with an olive branch and full powers to patch up the difference between them. How well young Mr. Cos es has played his p->rt it isnot, necessary to say. The immediate outcome of the engagement is, however, a little unfortunate for the public, as the price of thread has been advanced, “to meet the expenses of the wedding,” as Mr. Coates hims?lf facetiously puts it.
