WASHINGTON LETTER. Fjom our rr£ularcorr««jKmdont. Washington, D. C., Jan. 27, ’04. fhe free trade democrats are in tbe saddle this week, and they have ridden rough-shod over their democratic colleagues in the House who wanted protection for the leading industries of their districts and 1 fee. trade for the rest of the country. The adoption of amendments to the Cleveland tariff bill, abolishing the proposed sliding bounty on domestic sugar and placing all grades of relined sugar on the free list, were apparent, but not real, defeats for the democrats of the Ways and Means committee. It is plain now that •the democrats of the committee intended from the first to betray tlic -sugar industry of the country, and that they knew perfectly well when they adopted the sliding bounty clause of the bill that a majority of the House, would strike it out. The free traders of the House also won victories by defeating the amendments to put a duty on coal and on iron ore. That the object of the free traders is to force the income tax through the House, in spite of the democratic opposition, is now as plain as the nose on your face, and, although the democratic "kickers" are making a lot of noise, it looks as though they would succeed. Republicans are calmly looking on while these, progressive steps toward free trade are being taken, believing that the nearer the Cleveland tariff bill is to an out and out free trade measure when it is sent to the senate, next week, the more certain it is that it will be torn all to pieces, if not actually defeated, in that body. Democratie members of the House who do not like the bill are discussing the proprobability of carrying a motion to •recommit the bill to the committee when the time comes to vote, but they cannot possibly do that without the solid republican vote of the House, and that cannot be had for any .suc h purpose. The republicans will help to defeat (he bill, but not to continue the uncertainty by recommitting it. Congressman Sibley, of Pennsylvania, a democrat who lias populist tendecies, remarked to Congressman Hendrix, of Brookly, N. Y., a detnomocrat who has protection tendencies, just after tin' House had voted to put refined sugars on the free list. ‘ Well, this is free trade with vengeance.’’ "Free trade nothin*,” said Hendrix, angrily; ‘‘it’s h-11." If the. administration has no better expectation of financial help from Congress than that which is based upon the bill Senator Voorhees says he is preparing it is to be pitied. Dan Voorhees has been a member of the Senate committee on Finance for nearly seventeen years, but he has never in all that tim •. fathered a single financial idea that was sound and practical, and a man doesn’t often change his ideas after lie reaches Dan's age, although they sometimes pretend to do so, in order to get something. Senator Teller, who has been ■quoted by some democrats as favoring the democratic program, sat down very heavily on such statements when he spoke as follows: "The industrial depression at present is fearful. The situation, I fear, will become still worse, for there is hardly a ray of sunshine the whole world over. That is what makes the present program of the democratic party so ridiculously absurd, and the issue of bonds amusing. The Secretary of the Treasury estimates the year deficit to the about *78,000.000, and he proposes to issue $50,000,000 Worth of bonds to meet the present need of the government. It is but a temporary expedient, a drop in the bucket, and only means further increase in the public debt, with no provision for its payment. The tariff tinkers propose to cut down the revenue of the government almost to a free trade basis. The effect of this will be to make bonds, and therefore the further increase of ■the public debt in a time of peace. The way that the deficit can be fpade up, according to democratic

theory, is by increasing importations.” Senator Cullom, of Illinois, in a carefully worded speech went over the Hawaiian policy of the adminisfrom its secret beginning to its inglorious and humiliating fizzling out. He called Mr. Blount spy and the whole business a succession of blunders. varying for tragic to ridiculous and farcical, and concluded with this reference to Mr. Cleveland: "‘No >ther President of any party in our history of nearly a hundred and twenty years has ever put this people in an attitude of contempt and shame, subjected them to popular derision 'and made us a laughing! stock before and enlightened world.” i The cuckoo Hawaiian resolution j approved by the democrats of the ! House committee on Foreign Affairs! is a rather fareicial attempt to ex- j trieate the administration from its \ present unpleasant predicament and ! democrats who are not cuckoo say that it can not be adopted. It says “that we heartily approve of the principle-announced by the President of the United States that interference with the domestic affairs of an indepent nation is the contrary to the Spirit of American institutions," thus misrepresenting Mr.Cleveland’s position and then approving the misrepresen ting. Ai.kxis. Uunicauic Service lu liii^luiid. I've kept a sharp eye on the young women in domestic service over hero, having a fellowfeeling for them, as you can well understand, madam, and since I have been in the country I've watched the poor folks and me i how they live, and it’s just as plain to me as can be that the young women who arc maids and waitresses over here are the kind who would have tried to be shopgirl and dress-1 makers and even school-teachers in j America, and many of the. servants | we have would be working in the fields if they lived over here, writes “Pomona.” under tire guiding hand of Frank R. Stockton in theFebuary Tadics’ Home Journal. The fact is the English people don't go to other countries to get their servants. Their way is like a factory consuming its own smoke. The surplus young woman,, and there must always be a lot of them, arc used up in domestic service. Now- if an American poor girl is good enough to be a first-class servant she wants to be something el’se. Sooner than go out to service she will work twice as hard in a shop, or even go in a factory. 1 have talked a good deal about Jooe, and he says 1 in getting to be a philosopher, but I don't think it takes much philosophizing to find out how this case statics. If house service could be looked upon in the proper way it wouldn't take long for American girls who have to work fur their living to find out that it's a lot better to live wi h nice people, and cook and wait on the table, and do all those things which come natural to women the world over, than to stand all day behind a counter j under the thumb of a floor-walker, j or grind their lives out like slaves ! among a lot of steam engines and | machinery. The only reason the English have better house servants ' than we have is that here any girl who has to work is willing to be a house servant, and very good house servants they are, too. !

That people judge by appearances rather than conditions, and that the time when people don’t want to buy is when you should hold forth your inducements? Do you know that the building prospects for 181)4 are most gratifying; that money is easy, old stocks pretty well used up? Don't be lamenting. Believe in your town, believe in your town's en'eprises, talk cheerfully, advertise your business, boom your town and all wLI 1 prosper, Sit down on croakers wherever v ni find them, v—'Valparaiso Messenger,
