TIIEY DRAW BIG SALARIES

About All the Democrats in Congress Have Dono or Are Likely to Do. Not an Important Measure Yet Passed Mr. Burrows Closes the Debate on the Free Wool Bill Seal Fcachera at Work. ' A 1JODY OF DO-NOTHINGS. The Country "vTonld Have Been as Well , Served If This Congreis Had Not Met Cj-rriAl to the InliauaiKIls Journal. "Washington, April 2. It is now generally believed that Speaker Crisp. Senator Hill and the other Democratic bosses who are running the House of Representatives, will closo this session by the end of July. It was the Loans of the Speaker, when he succeeded in announcing the standing committees before the holidays, that the session would end early in June. If he winds it up six weeks later he will have accomplished much. But what will he havo accomplished? The defeat of silver legislation cut short the session at least a month. No ono now expects a single tariff bill to get tbrongh to the President. Ud to this time not a solitary general measure of any consequence has been finally passed, and nono is expected to be passed. The appropriation bills will be passed and about 29 per cent, of the usual nnmber of private pension bills will be adopted; then adjournment. At the last session there had been twice as many measures passed after this Ion at h of time us will be adopted in all of this session. Any session can bo rnado short i nothing is to be done. The customary Friday night sessions of the Houso tor pension bill has become it farce already. A quorum is never present, and Colonel Kilgore of Texas, late of the confederate army, raises the point of "no quorum present." and the Hons adjourns without passing any bill. At one Friday night session of the last Republican Congress moro pension bills were passed than will be. pns?ed at this entiro session. J in t for the appropriation bills this Congress might just as well never have been. CLOSK OF THE TARIFF DEBATE. Mr. Burrows Fires a Final Shot at the YVould-lIe Industry Destroyer "Washington, April 2. The general discussion of the tarifl bill closed to-day. If the present programme, as agreed upon by the leaders, is carried out consideration of the free-wool bill under the live-minute rule will h,egin Monday and the measure bo passed by the Ilonse early in the .week. It is generally desired by the Democrats to rass Mr. Springer's bill before the Rhode Island election of Wednesday, for the political eilect that it may have in that State and unless the Republicans make a vigorous opposition and insist upon consideration of the various amendments under the five-minute rule the final vote on the passage of the measure will probably be taken not later than Tuesday. Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, a member of the committee on ways and means, closed the debate in opposition to the free-wool bill. He said that the party of free trade. encouraged by the temporary success of 1S90, and. mistaking the significance of the verdict, renews its asaault upon the American industries with a boldness and vigor worthy a better cause. It is most unfortunate that this agitation should occur. It disturbs business, alarms capital, preventing it from embarking in now enterprises to which it was invited by the tariff of 1800, deters the employment of labor, destroys confidence, and prevents the full realization of that industrial prosperity which the act of lb90 was intended to promote, and tvhicb, if undisturbed, it wonld sorely secure. But it seems the contest, regardless of public interest, is to be renewed inZ the issue again submitted to the judgment of the American people. Instead of proceeding to an intelligent and comprehensive adjustment of the whole schedule of duties, making a systematic revision, even while conforming to the theories of free trade, it is proposed to strike here and there at isolated industries, regardless of the effect upon other interests with which they ore inseparably connected and interwoven. Some one has said: "Onr tariff system is like a spider's web; touch a single thread of it and the whole fabric trembles." But the plan cf assault agreed upon by the majority of the committee on ways and means ignores this harmonious system, and proposes to tear down by piece-meal any portion of the fabrio which they believe popular prejudice approves, local interests demand or party expediency requires. The first point selected for assault is one of the growing industries of the United States, but the party of free trade has a 'method in its madness." The adherents of that party need no one to advise them that if tbev can succeed in placing wool on the free list that it is the beginning of the end of tho protective system of the United States. They have removed the key-stone. Iron-ore. coal, salt, lumber and a hundred other articles which they are pleased to denominate raw material, will follow in rapid succession, and every deserted industry will be a recruiting station for the forces of free trade, which will be rapidly augmented until they are sufficiently powerful to wipe out the last vestige of the protective policy of the United States. In conclusion he said: "The adherents of the free-trade Democracy lose sight of the greater needs to be attained through the instrumentality of the protective tariff. You seem to bo chieliy concerned about rates; we are more solicitous about industries. You are contending for dnties; we are battling for higher development. You question the propriety of increasing rates of taxation; we answer you with new-born industries throbbing with industrial life. Yon would narrow the field of the laborer's occupation; we would eularge ittoembraco every source of profitable employment. And while you are standing in the open way to every new indnstry, warning the people not to go therein, crying. the tariff is a tax,' 'the people are being robbed,' your senseless cries are drowned in the exultant shouts of laborreturningwith rich trophies secured from new fields of industrial triumph. We believe in diversifying mid defending our industries by a protective tariff, and so availing ourselves of every instrumentality which a bountiful Providence has placed within our reach; that we will attain the fullest possible development of all our resources, secure the greatest happiness and prosperity to the citizen, and to the Nation its highest destiny," Applause. SLAUGHTERING SEALS. -Canadian Poachers Heaping a Harvest on the YYaters of the Northern Pacific. Washington, April 2,The Department of State has received detailed information of the operations of the sealing vessels sow engaged in killing and taking 6eals along the American coast. At latest adVices the Heat was off Cape Flattery, keeping company with the herd as it moves up the coast on its way to its breeding grounds4 on the Pribyloff islands. On the 21st ult. the American steamer Michigan passed them, and reports the water fairly alive with seals, and the vessels had their boats out busily shooting them, Between March 14 and 24 reports from fourteen vessels fixed their catch at 2,252 Boals. Tho steamer Mystery had been engaged at Victoria by the poaching fleet to meet them at Cloquet sound on March 21. take oil their skins and furnish them with a new stock of supplies, thus enabling them to prosecute their work without the loss of time necessary to put into the port of Victoria. Tho same steamer is engaged to meet the tleet again, later in the season, at taud Point, on Kadiak island, and receive their skins and furnish them with fresh supplies, preparatory to the entrance of th tleet into Pehring sen. On March 17 the lirenda arrived at Victoria, from Nova Scotia, being the first of the thirteen sealing ichooners on the way from there, and the is now being fitted out for sea. Seven moro British vessels are now in Victoria, and our or rive are in process of construction destined for this year's sealing operations,

making the total British fleet abont seventy, as against fifty-one last year. Secretary Ulaine has so far recovered' from his recent illness us to bo back at his desk at the State Department to-day. This, is the tirst time in nearly three weeks that he has been at the department. Within that period tho crisis in the Behriugsca matter was reached and passed. He was kept informed of tho progress of tno negotiations and it is understood is now de-

voting a portion 01 nis time to aesisting tho President in his correspondence and conferences with the British minister looking to an early renewal of the modus vivendi. It is probable that there will be no formal reply to Lord Salisbury's note of the 20th of March. It is the general understanding that this government will accept the proposition -in that note, which provides for a suspension of pelagic sealing, with provision for indemnities. Iteyoml this there is nothing new in the situation to-dav, especially as it is understood that the Cabinet took no definite action in the matter at its meeting yesterday. rUTUKES AND OITIONS. . The YYords Defined In a Substitute for tbe Senate Measure on the Subject. Washington-. April 2. A bill was reported from the committee on agriculture today as a substitute for the Hatch bill and other measures before the committee defining futures and options and imposing special taxes on dealers therein. The bill is a voluminous document, comprising fifteen sections.. Its provisions may be briefly stated as follows: The word "option" is to be understood to mean any contract nnder which a party acquires the right or privilege, but is not thereby obligated to deliver at a future time or within a designated period, raw or unmanufactured cotton, hops, wheat, coin, oats, rye. barley, grassseed. rlaxed. pork, lard, bacon and other edible products of swine. Tho word futures is understood to mean a contract whereby a party agrees to sell or deliver at a fnturo timo or within :i designated period any of the above named articles when he is not the owner of the articles or has not acquired by purchase- tho right to their future possession: provided, that this is not to apply to government. State or municipal Contracts, nor to a contract made by a farmer for future delivery of articles belonging to him or in course of growth on his lands. The difference between this bill and the Washburn bill, already described, up to this point, is to bo found in the inclusion in the presontbill of cotton and iiops among tho articles which may not bo dealt in through futures and options. Tho remainder of this bill is substantailly similar to the Washburn measure. It provides for tho same tax upon dealers in futures and options of Si, 000 as a license feo and 5 cents per pound or 20 cents per bushel upon each of the articles dealt in. and also provides the necessary machinery for the collection of the taxes, tho publicity of the records of transactions and the enforcement of the law in other respects in even greater detail than the Washburn bill. The report submitted with the bill recites the well-known objects sought by the proposed legislation, attacks "short sellers." bucket-shops and dealers in puts and calls, and asserts that the bill, if enacted into law, will add to the general prosperity. MINOR MATTE IIS. Free-Coinage Democrats Threaten to Block Legislation Unless Crisp Givos In. Special to tho Iiinianapolls JonrnaL Washington. April 2. It was stated at the Capitol to-day that tho free-silver advocates on the Democratic side of tho House had agreed upon a plan by which it was intended to force Speaker Crisp to give the free-coinago bill another hearing. The plan is to blockade all legislation excepting tariir and appropriation bills until a cloture rulo is reported by whicli action' upon tho silver bill can be had. There is no doubt that some such course is being batched by tho free-coinage advocates, and it is the opinion of many that there are lively times ahead, although there is Kood reason to believe, that tbe President will not have nn opportunity to veto a freecoinage bill at this session of Congress. Ilaum Examined Again. Washington. April 2. In the Pension Office investigation, to-day. Commissioner Raum said that he knew of one ease, and there might be several others, in which relatives of pension attorneys were employed in the Pension Office. Whenever he knew' of such relationship be wonld keep the claims of the attorney from his relative, because this kinship might perhaps cause inside information to reach an attorney. The Commissioner said the record showed that he had been absent from the office 137 days in the last two years and four months. Mr. Enloe having asked a question Implying that the Pension Oflice had atono time last year "slowed up" on account of tho condition of the public treasury, the Commissioner replied" that he had never felt any embarrassment as to tbe state of the treasury; Secretary Foster had never made any suggestion on the subject, and that be bad never held back a single pension case, and did not intend to do eo. While he was Commissioner he intended to allow just as many certificates as could be property adjudicated with the force of the office. Mexican Convicts Responsible. "Washington, April 2. General Stanley, in forwarding to the War Department a report in regard to the Garzacampaign, says: "It must be remembered that a very largo percentage of the population along the Texas border is made up of escaped convicts and murderers from Mexico, and of Moxicau citizens who havo no regard for law and order, and who readily join anything in opposition to tho government authorities. A singular feature of the case is that tho Mexicans who own and control tbe large ranches in southern Texas and claim every protection from tho American government, givo their inlluence and furnish means to support almost any measure against our government or that of Mexico." In conclusion he says: "All bands of organized forces in violation of neutrality have been wholly dissipated.'7 Hill's Man Itockwell to lie Ousted. Washington, April 2. The report of the house committee on elections iu the case of Noyes against Rockwell from the Twenty-eighth New York district, was submitted to the House this afternoon. Tho minority also submitted a report dissenting from the views of the majority, Tho majority report takes up and discusses at great length the question as to whether Rockwell had a prima facie cr.eo which entitled him to the seat in the first instance, and decided that he never was entitled to tho tcrtiticate in tho first Instance, nor to the eeat, and neither should have been given bim. The committee also throws out tbe claim of Rockwell that he gained votes on the recount. The report further shows that the certiticato issued to Rockwell to his seat was given him illegally and should never have been issued. General Notes, g racial to the Indianapolis Journal.

BEVOLTS IN TWO REPUBLICS

Tho Venezuelan Rebels Reported to Be Doing Pretty Much as They Please. Stale of Siee Proclaimed in Argentina Owin to the Discovery of a Conspiracy Against the Government Ringleaders Arrested. VENEZUELA'S REVOLUTION. Everything in Favor of the Insurrectionists Thus Tar Orinoco Oun-Iloat Captured. Caracas. Venezuela, April 2. The government troops commanded by General Roderiguez have been repnl&edxuiax Ortise. They met tho forces that were marching from Orinoco to reinforce General Crespo, the leader of the revolutionists. There was a sharp engagement, in which General Roderiguoz was compelled toretreat, though the loss was not heavy on either side. The revolutionists occupied' Ortise, a town of seventy-five thousand, in tbe State of Gnarico, and then began, an advance on Cura, a city of ten thousand inhabitants, sixty miles southwest of Caracas. The success at Ortise was followed by the seizure of the national gunboat Nueve de Julio, which was stationed at Esmeralda, on the Orinoco river. This success gives the revolutionists command of tho upper end of tho river and will be of great advantage in future operations. News of these reverses has greatly dopressed tbe followers of President Palacio. Advioesfrom Mcrida and from the State of Seamoria show that the people are enlisting in great numbers under the banner of General Crespo. General Araufo has organized a force of S.5C0 men at Mcrida nnd is preparing to join the troopt under the revolutionary leader. General Batista is marching from Soamarias- with 1,000 soldiers to fight for the revolution. Trouble In Argentina. Paris, April 2. Word received here from Buenos Ayres states that a state of siege has been proclaimed by the government in consequence of the threatening state of aliairs growing oat of tbe political situation. It is rumored that extreme Radicals have planned dynaraito explosions in various parts of the city. It has been discovered that there existed a conspiracy to murder President Pellegrini, General Roca and Genoral Mitre, and proclaim Dr. Aietn dictator. Dr. Alcm, Dr. lrigoyen, Senator Leandro and a number of leading Radicals ' nave been arrested. Several bombs bate been found in the possession of Radical clubs. The army and navy remain loyal to Pellegrini, and eonudenoe in the government is reviving. Another and later diSDatch from Buenos Ayres says: The leaders in the plot to overthrow the government have been arresreoV There is no disorder here. Telegraph wires to tho provinces have teen cat. GENERAL FOREIttX NEWS. A Soldier Demonstrates tlra Killing Power of the New German Rifle. ' Berlin, April 2. At midnight last night a man who was passing the barracks of the Third Regiment of the guards in this city made derisive remarks to a sentinel. The latter ordered the man to go about bis business. This order infuriated the man and he made a most desperate assault upon the sentinel, drawing a knife and threatening to stab him. Tho soldier attempted to arrest his assailant but t lie man fled, wherennon the former took deliberate aim and, bred. The fleeing man throw up his bands, staggered a fow feet and fell upon his face mortally wounded. The bullet was one of the new small caliber used in the rifles of the German army. It went through tbe body of the man. it was aimed at, and inflicted quite a severe wound upon another man who was walkine along ahead of the man first hit. As a rule, whenever a citizen is injured by a soldier thore is much indignation expressed. but in this cao it is generally believed that tho soldier did no more than his duty in shooting down tho man who threatened to kill him. ;- An English Traitor Causes a Scare. reclal to tbe ln!:naiolls JonrnaL London, April 2. The revelations in regard to the treachery of Edward Ifolden, formerly of the royal engineers, who is shown to have betrayed tbe plans of the fortifications at Malta and Gibraltar to France, have cansed the biggest fright that toe British War Oflico has seen in a generation. The authorities have letters which; passed between Holdenand a Frenth agent named Foinet, showing that the plans of Malta had been sold and those of Gibraltar were about to be handed over, when Holden was arn ated. Holden obtained his knowledge of the plans while serving us a draughtsman in tbe government service. There is no doubt that a description of every fort, every battery and every gun in tbe island of Malta has been given to France, and that tho latter has nnw,in .its possession the most ample particulars as to the armaments of all the defenses of that huge eea-girt fortress. Demands of London's Unemployed. London, April 2. A deputation of unemployed workmen waited on Lord Mayor Evans to day. The leader asked that the balls of tho city companies bo turned into labor bureaus. He wanted land to be purchased by the government on which the unemployed could bo set at work, and ho wanted relief works to be started. The Lord Mayor replied that he would require time to consider the novel proposals laid before him by tho deputation. Ho assured them that he sympathized with them, and said ho was sorry to learn of tho widespread distress among workingmeu. ' ' -", , A meeting of the unemployed was subsequently held nt Tower Hill. It was presided over by Wade, who during the past few days has oome prominently boforo the public as a leader of the men who are demanding work. The meeting decided on a public parado of the unemployed Sunday. Poked Fun at the Kaiser. Frecfnl to the IiMhanapolls Journal. London, April 2. Tho Kaiser is said to bo greatly aggrieved by tho remark mado in tho Reichstag by Herr Richter, the great loader of the Radicals, who went so far as to poke fun at his Majesty an unheard of thing in the annals of Prussian history. On the vote for a grant to suppress the rebel chief Witboi in southwest Africa Herr Richter remarked caMially that be saw no reason to interfere with the dusky "ruler. "Ho is a sovereign in his way. He considers it his 'divine mission' to steal cattle. He 'steers his own course,' and he holds any one who does not agree with him in southwest Africa 'had better shake the dust of that country oil his feet.M' Deeming Denies Everything. Melbourne, April 2. Deeming had an interview with his solicitor to-day. He absolutely denied tho .various "crimes imputed to bim. He said ho had never made any confession, and bad made no admissions to anybody. He could prove an alibi in the case of tbe murder of three men in Johannshurg. outh Africa, of which there is a strong suspicion that bo istheman who killed them. Tho doctors who have examined Deeming declare that he is in good health and wants no medical treatment. G'ahl Note. The great chemical-works at Hocbspcys, in Rhenish Bavaria, havo been burned. Three French war ships have sailed for the liieht of Benin. They will probably land a force to occupy Wbydah. Dahomey.

The damage caused by the three fires that occurred at Mandalay, Burnish, in the past few days amounts to 1.000.000. Another firo broke out yesterday between the Seagyoe bazar in that eity and the river bank, and is still burning. The frequency of tho fires gives strong confirmation of the belief entertained in many quarters that they are of incendiary origin. The grand jury of Dublin county, Ireland, to which the venue of the case of Mrs. Annie Margaret Montague was changed from Coleraine, Londonderry county, has returned a true bill of manslauahter against the accused for killing her three-year-old daughter Helen.

BIG SCHOOL-noCSE FIRE. Crawfordsvillo Water-Works Failed and a $75,000 UaildiDff h Gone. Erecial to the ImUanpolis Joura&L Ckawfordsville, Ind.. April 2,At 4 o'clock this afternoon an alarm of fire announced the burning of the central sohool building, containing the High-school. Two liremen were injnred. John Boll was pinned down by a falling wall and inhaled steam and fire, aud James Kennedy was hurt by falling timbers. The origin of the tire was from burning soot, the janitor being at work cleaning furnace fl uos for natural gas. The structure was of brick, three stories, with eighteen school-rooms. The firemen, when they arrived, could not reach the flames, then in the cupola, and by the time the ladders were socured the entire roof had fallen in. The water pressure was only thirty pounds and a stream could not no thrown to tbe second story. This left the building at the ireccy of the flames and when tho fire fas filially checked it had reached tbe first p.try. The trouble with the water was that tho steam in tho water-works boiler having been allowed to run down the direct pressure could not bo used until over a half hour after the alarm. There is great indignation among insurance men and they threaten to suo the water company. The building cost $75,000; insured for &5.000, as follows: Threo thousand dollars in each of the following companies Liverpool, London and Globe, Continental of New York, Northern of London, Pbcenix of Brooklyn, Royal of Liverpool, German of New York, Pennsylvania of Philadelphia, Glenn Falls Underwriters and the Queen; $1,000 in each of tbe German-American, Franklin -of Philadelphia and North British; $2.C03in the Uurmsnj of Freeport. 111.

EXPONENTS OF PROTECTION

Thomas R Reed and Major McKinley Talk to Rhode Island Audiences. Hot Shot Fired by the Ex-Speaker at the Dontle-Dealing Majority in Congress Good Honey and Good Markets. RKED AND M'KINLEY. Two Big Republican Rallies Addressed by the Kx-Sprakpr and Governor. . Providence, K. I April 2. There was a very large Republican gathering at Music Hall to-night, those present including a number of women. At 8:50 there was a blai.e of red fire in front of the ball, and a few minutes later the Garlield Club, of Pawtucket, which had escorted, ex-Speaker Keed aud others to the hall, entered. Following Mr. Keed came Governor Ladd, Lieutenant-governor Stearns, the Hon. BoBwell Horr, Isaac L. Goff and other prominent Republicans. Tho meeting was called to order by Colonel Goff, who presented Governor Ladd as chairman. Gov. Ladd introduced Mr. Keed. The ex-Speaker was received with tremendous applause, and, led by the Hon. lsaao F. Williams, of Bristol, be was given throe rousing cheers and a tiger by the gathering. He said in part: "To think that we havo to tight for Rhode Island seems to be something grotesque. Here is a State, small in area, but full of success and prosperity owing to the fact that its manufacturers have secured by proteotion tbe markets of tbe United States. Yet some people are simple enough to listen to this wandering collection of Western and Kentucky Congressmen who are trying to persuado you that tho best thing for Khodo Island is to give up its manufactures and let England have her market Here you are. built np by the system of protection, and j'et it is coolly disputed whether vou are going for your interests or against them. Tbe Democratic orators from the West and South in Congress a week ago were speaking for free silrer. Bat while here they tell you nothing on that point. For the past thirty-two years the Democratic party has simply been turning over things. Two years ago every one of their leaders was shouting like mad for free silver. "The people, as a general thing, know what they want, and in 1590 did not wish anything done, so they elected a Democratic House. The people were right; nothing has been done. They marched up to the seventy-cent dollar and then they marched baok, temporarily. They were going to reduce the tariff- Whv didn't they do it! They want to catch the Rhode Island manufacturer's vote by giving him free wool. They say it will be better to have wool cheaper. In the same breath they tarn around to the farmer and say wool will be higher. Democratic legislation always works both ways. It catches the peoplo both going and coming. That's why it never becomes a law. They want to take the tax oil binding-twine on the great principle of vote-catching. They want lumber on tho free list to catch the lumbermen's vote. When they have got these things they will abolish duties all over the United States and crush out high wages. Great Britain is on the same footing with ns on all matters save wages. It Is surprising that those most interested in the contest cannot see the tariff has an influence in bettering wages. I make this assertion and defy contradiction. The laboring man to-day has higher wages than he had iu i860 by 50 per cent. Everything the working man buys to-day he can get 23 per cent, cheaper on an average than thirty-two years ago." competition lowers prices. Mr. Reed said if he was competing with a man in Nova Scotia he wonld temporarily drop prices and drive him out of business. Great Britain has always done this. When you have a tariff she cannot do this. He proceeded to quote figures showing that, nnder protection, our iron product has been multiplied by twelve, while the population has multiplied onlv by two. Taper handsaw files in 1&06 cost $1.51 per dozen. In 1801 their price was 41 cents per dozen. In 1S06 the files cost thirteen cents apiece; in 1S01. 8 cents apiece. The protective tariff has robbed the tile of three-fourths of its price. Tbe material of which these files were made iu 1SS6 cost 17Mt cents a pound, while to-day the cost is under cents a pound. In other words, the protected raw material has been robbed of its price too. The great principle that cnts down the S rices is competition. Competition also evelops. Henry Graham, in New York, an importer of pearl buttons, since the McKinley bill passed, with its tariff on pearl buttons, has already reduced the price of protected pearl buttons. Such buttons as are sold for 8125 a gross have been reduced to $50 a gross. Congressman Reed concluded his remarks amid great applause. "Three cheers for Grover Cleveland," came from the rear of tbe hall. The three cheers were given and then followed hisses and cries. Hon. Roswell G. Horr, of Michigan, was then introduced, and spoke threo quarters of an hour on tariff issues. Governor MoKinley, of Ohio, was the last speaker and was greeted with prolonged applause. He said: 'I have seen this single day three meetings of this character. If Rhode Island does not roll up a bandsomo Republican majority all signs have failed. I am here to express to you the interest in your election felt in the whole country, which will be disappointed if you do not chooce a Legislature to return Senator Aldrich. Wo want in this country good money, good wages and steady employment. Many Democrats ate opposed to the coinage of silver in tbe East, but the majority in tbe country are not with them. If a man is in favor of sound currency there is bnt one tioket for him to vote that of the Republican party. Yon have seen within threeweeksin the llouseof Representatives more than three-fifths of the Democrats voting for a dollar worth but 70 cents in the markets of the world. The Republican party has made gold, silver nnd paper equally legal teuder. We want no false dollars to cheat the world. After good money we want good markets. We cannot draw wages unless we do work. And wo cannot do work unless there is a market for our product. Without a protective tariff. if we continno to bold the American market, we must reduco our wages to tbe level of those paid in Europe. You cannot have Chinese prices unless you have Chinese methods. We cau have free trade when tbe other countries of the world bring their labor np to ours.'' The speaker closed by referring to tbe condition of the business in the last eighteen months. The meeting then adjourned. AX OTHER BIG RALLY. There was another big Republican rally at Infantry Hall this evening. Folly 5.000 people crowded tbe building to bear McKinley and Reed. Brown University students were prominent auditors, and there were many women in the hall. Hon. W. W. Whipple, Hon. A. K. Goodwin, Hon. R. C. Taft, Hon. Nelson W. Aldrich, D. Russell Brown, nominee for Governor, and one hundred others were present. Major McKinley said: "This splendid audience is the greatest possible tribute which can be paid to the great cause in which we are engaged to-night. Yen cannot have wages until you have work, and vou cannot have work unless there is a market for the product. Tho revenue taritl takes that market from American people. The protective tariff provides that market to tbe American people. It takes fcl.UX),01o every twenty-four hours to run this government. Vou Tan raise it by direct taxation, by taxing yourselves, your property, jour labor, your farms and your factories or by a tax on the products of other countries seeking a market in the United States. The Republican party believes we never ought to tax our own people so long as we can find others to tax. A revenue tariff is advocated by the Democrats. It is always paid by the consumer. A protective tariff is paid by the consumer only so long as we are learning to manufacture. Products whose manufacture have been built up by the tariff are cheaper by from 0 to t'O per cent, than before. Cheap things are well eminh. but revenue taritl secures cheap things

at tbe expense of labor. Protection saves, and ele?ates labor. Wo never sold so many products to Europe in the same time as in the last eighteen months. Yon will never get wool ana lrou'oa the free list, because the Southern Confederacy controls the Democratic party. Since we have had protection we hare red nerd the national. State and municipal dbts. Protection injures only tbe foreigner. They eay it is sellish. Every independent government is organized for taking care of itself, and if there was no selfishness wo might as well all live nndor one flag. The Democratic Congress has been in session four months and has not destroyed a linu of the tariff law yet. Ho closed with an appeal for a solid Republican vote. At the close of Governor McKinlev's address Attorney-general Burbank re'adtha following letter, addressed to A. G. Goodwin, chairman of tho Republican State committee: Dear Sir It will not be practical for me to attend your meeting In Pm vMence April 2. but I wish to unre upon the ritlens of Rhode Island the importance of retaining henator AUrlcb In his place. lie is a henator who has constantly grown iu the edeexn of hir colleagues and In his Influence In the Senate. It would be a great loss not only to Rhode Island, but to iiepublipAns throughout the Union to los him from tne public service. Vrr tmlr your. Jamls g. Blaine. Ex-Speaker Reed then spoke briefly on tbe tariff issues and closed with a enlocy on Senator Aldrich. Hon. Rosewell A. Horr. of Michigan, was the last speaker and also discussed tbe tariff at some length. In an interview Governor McKinley said he thonsht Harrison wonld be nominated by tbe Republicans and Cleveland by the Democrats. When asked if the silver Question wonld enter into the coming campaign he said: "I do not very well see how it can be kept out. With a majority of the Democratic party in favorof the free coinage of silver, as evidenced by the vote in tbe House of Representatives, and the Republicans united foi a good dollar, I should say it would be au issue."

INDIANA REPUBLICANS. Grant County In Favor of Either Chase or Steele for Governor. Special to tho InditnapoUs JonrnaL Marion, Ind., April 2. The Republicans of this concty selected delegates yesterday and last night to the State, congressional, senatorial and judicial conventions.

So far as may be seen tbe drift of sentiment appears to be decidedly in favor of Governor Chase, unless ex-Governor George W. Steele should decide to be a candidate. In that event the county would be solid for him. The impression prevails that unless something, now unforeseen, arises, the present Governor will have a decided majority of the delegation from Grant.
