Saturday, June : , .0, 1834. | The tariff discussion in the IT. S. • " - — —-- - I Senate has called forth many sharp - °** e Pollar per Year j rejoinders. Recently a Protectionist Entered .t th. Pottofflc, ar..acMtie, md. I Senator twitted Senator Allen forvot»s second-class mail matter. j ing for the tax on sugar, and Allen’s We want a Rood correspondent at each explanation was: “I voted for the rifg a's^^rresponde'ntTwu'i^pieium’^ouTj'^is sugar ta x in the new tariff bill betoiVardAe^s'amc'to'uie^uTrt'mpUy I caus0 Republican profligacy under

the Harrison administration liad bankrupted the treasury and it became necessary to raise revenue from

The financial condition of the country now as compared with its condition a year ago is most promising. Then banks were closing their doors, with liabilities generally far in excess of their assetts; now the bank« are doing a healthy business, with plenty of money on deposit, and no failures are reported. There is bound to be a revival of business, and it will come rapidly, as soon as Congress settles the tariff. Every indication

points this way.

The Republican-Protectionist dismal cry about putting wool on the free list is only noisy wind. The facts take all the point out of their arguments. Wool is worth fifteen cents a pound now, after thirty years of protection and over three years of McKinleyism. This is twenty one cents less than its highest quotation during the last twenty years. In li-57 farmers had no trouble to get sixty ccuts a pound for wool, which was then practically on 'he free list In the face of these facts a staid old Republican Senator rises in bis seat and calls the placing of wool on the free list the “culminating atro-

city” of the new Taritf Bill.

Hee’s richness: The BannerTimes of this week asserts editorially : “The McKinley bill made them (times)

good here at home.”

This discovery is on a par with Brother Jasper’s discovery that “the sun do move.” The B.-T. and Bro. Jasper are unfortunate, however, in having public opinion and the demonstrations of science aganst them Their assertions are weak and erratic, because it is well known by an intelligent public that they are not founded on fact; that they are de void of spissitude. Every farmer, mechanic, professional and business man who has read and observed, is

The coal miners strike has been settled and work has been resumed in the Clay county coal lields. Only 25 cents tor the Star-Press for the campaign of IH'.'-l—take advantage of this low rate now. The Post, of Washington City, comes out in a strong editorial, urging that Oov. Claude Matthews be made the Democratic candidate for President in 18%, and avers that failure to nominate him will be an inex-

cuaeable mistake.

The most promising entry in the Democratic Presidential contest for 18% is Indiana's farmer Governor, Hon. Claude Matthews. His record as the Chief Executive of this State lias won for him an enviable record, ■while his private life is above reproach, and his personal fitness is be-

yond question.

Another silver coinage bill has been introduced in Congress—it is tainted with tliat same old Republican feature of buying silver and Coining it at the rate of 000 per month. What the people want is a silver coinage law that will place silver just where it was before it was demonetized by the Republicans in 187;5. The men who are fighting the in--come tax with most bitterness, are the capitalists of the East, who hold the world’s record as successful taxdodgers. They wish to enjoy all the benefits of government; all its protection, all its bessings ; but they do not wish to contribute to its support in proportion to their wealth. They

i The Tariff Bill Still Occupies the Time In the Senate- Various Matter* I'mlcr DisciiHitlon in the

In a dozen line paragraph in our last issue we proved beyond controversy, by an editorial from its own columns, that the Banner-Times had been guilty of prevarication in that it had attempted to mislead its readers in regard to tarifl matters. In brief, the B.-T. had asserted all along that the people did not pay the tariff tax, and then in a fit of ahsentmindedness it acknowledged the truth by confessing that a tariff tax levied on sugar would increase the price of that article to the consumer. It had been caught in its own trap, and unsuccessfully sought a way out by publishing a column of “rot’’ which is supposed to be an explanation, but it falls short of everything save acknowledgment of the fact that the tariff is a tax levied for the benefit of the privileged manufacturing class, collected from the general public, for which they receive no consideration save the knowledge that they are being impoverished to enrich the tariff barons. The Banner-Times would better remain silent—its confession weakens the cause of Republicanism.

A Tribute. On the morning of June 19, 1894, Arthur W. Bowen, of New Maysville, after an illness of but a few days, passed from this life to that mysterious bourne from whence no traveler returns. Deceased had been in failing health for some weeks, but nothing serious developed until Friday, June 15. From tliat time he grew steadily worse until Tuesday morning, when he closed his eyes on the scenes of this earth, to open them on the beauties of heaven. He was a young man of true and conscientious principles, supported by an energetic, amiable nature the index to a successful life. To him life was not a dismal, monotonous probation to an eternity still more foreboding, but rather a joyous, sunny preface to a future life whose joys are innumerable—that life beyond the grave. Though early in life he has been summoned before Him. who shall judge mankind, yet he responded to the call with a willing heart and a spirit submissive to the will of God. How Arthur's genial countenance will be missed in the home circle, and in the society of his friends, can tie realized only by those who knew him. His remains were interred in the New Maysville Cemetery, Thursday morning. “I can not say, and will not say That he is dead. He is just away! With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand, He has wandered into an unknown land And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there. And you O you, who the wildest yearn For the old time step, and the glad return, Think of him faring on as dear In the love of There as the love of Here. Think of him still as the same, I say; He is not dead—he is just away.” N. B. Fincastle.

THE SENATE. Washington, June 33.—After some routine business the tariff bill was token up In the senate yesterday, the pending question being on the income tax. Senator Hill (dein., N. Y.) addressed the senate in opposition to the tax. He said the income tax was a war tax; it hail never been approved by a vote of the people and there was no genuine emergency calling for its adoption. He spoke of the unfortunate tendenoy of the times to drift toward adopting English laws and ideas and said the highest ambition of every American dude was to ape English manners and customs. In conclusion Senator Hill said: “I repudiate the spurious democracy of these modern apostles and prophets who are part mugwump, part populist, and the least part democratic, who sceU to lead us astray after false gods, false theories, and false methods. I object to our restoring a war tax which the republicans themselves rejected years ago with our approbation. ■ This is a tax the Imposition of which will drive New York. New Jersey and Connecticut Into the republican column, there to permanently remain; a tux the Individual feature of which has not been recommended by any democratic president or secretary of the treasury or commissioner of internal revenue, but a tax suggested, advocated and now persistently pushed by a majority which Is temporarily In the saddle In this congress and is driving the democratic party with reckless and headlong speed Into tne abyss of political ruin." WAyyxGTON, June 28,—Bills were passed in the senale yesterday to incorporate the supreme lodge of the Knights of Pythias and making the first Monday in September of each year (Labor day) a legal holiday. The tariff bill was discussed. Washington, June 25.—The senate on Saturday, by a vote of 18 yeas to 43 nays, refused to adopt several amendments to the tariff hill offered by Senator Hill looking to a reduction of the limit of taxable incomes. Amendments exempting the salaries of the president and United States judges from tlie income tax were adopted. Washington, June 36.—The assassination of President Carnot, of France, was the sole theme in the senate yesterday, and after adopting the following resolutions an adjournment was taken: "Resolved. That the senate of the United States unites with the American people In expressing to the people of France their sorrow and sympathy In the national bereavement they are suffering from the cruel blow of an assassin, which was aimed at the peace of France and fell upon the heart of President Carnot. And as a mark of respect due to the memory of the wise, virtuous and patriotic president of the republic of France the senate will at the close of this proceeding stand adjourned until Tuesday at 10 o'clock. Resolved. That the president of the United States Is requested to communicate this expression of national sorrow to the government of the republic of France and to Mine. Carnot." Washington, June 37.—Among the nominations sent to the senate yesterday was that of Charles De Kay, a New York editor to he consul general at Berlin. An amendment to the income tax provisions of the tariff bill to exempt state, county and municipal bonds was offered by Senator Hill, but defeated. Senator Peffcr gave notice of an amendment to the bill levying a duty of S50 per head upon every alien arriving in the United States. TImj House. Washington, June 32.—Several hills and resolutions were passed in the house yesterday and the anti-option bill was fuVther considered.

The people would rather have no house built at present than have it put out wii* I in the country. Putuainville is peculiarly blessed with one of the best locations for a school house of any little town we know, and the people refuse to be outraged in this manner.
