WIDOWS

PLACE.

In the very heart of the city some time during last night, and the police are baffled for lack of a clue. James B. Caven. general freight agent of the Valley railroad li. & O.). wan shot and killer! by an unknown assassin. Five bullets pierced his body, and. he fell weltering in his blood. "When picked, up shortly afterward he was dead. Persons living near the scene of the murder heard the shots and a woman's ecream. No one was found near the body, end the police are eo far unable to secure the slightest clew. Mr. Caven was a widower, about fifty years old. and resided with a daughter on Kennard street. He was a man of exemplary habits so far as known. The coroner- decided that robbery was the motive.

GENKUAL ZETA'S PLANS. He W.U Assist Mexico in the Formation of One Central American Kepablic SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23. The interest of President Diaz, of Mexico, in General Ezeta is said t be due to Mexico's desire for the formation of a general republic of Central American countries, believing that with it would end revolutions which injure commerce and retard development. "Ezeta Intends to get aid from the Mexican government to regain his prestige in San Salvador," said Colonel Clenefugos, who talked about the matter to-day. "Most of his old soldiers will turn to his standard, for he is confident that he can overthrow his enemies. A revolution in San Salvador is always welcome, and the people will fight for Ezeta when they get the chance. Dut the General will go well prepared, and when he enters San Salvador it will be at the head of troops to force his way as he desires. Yes, President Diaz, of Mexico, will support Ezeta as far as he can, and thpre Is no doubt that all the circumstances are In his favor. The people in Mexico thoroughly understand the San Salvador affairs, and they believe In the cause cf Ezeta. If the General succeeds in this campaign (which he proposes to carry on vigorously after his arrival in Mexico) the result will probably be. the organization of one common republic of all the Central American States. That plan has been under consideration for a long time, and all the governments except Guatemala are favorable to it. Unfortunately. Guatemala stands in the way geographically as well as politically, and nothing can be done without her consent. Ezeta is confident that even Guatemala will accede to trie proposition, and the result will be a strong and prosperous republic, in which the little wars and petty strifes of the several nations will be forever lost." Attorney Charles Page, discussing Ezeta's sudden departure for Mexico, says: "V advised General Kzeta to leave at once, ior chkfly because of danger of other charges being brought against him." When the steamer St. Paul sailed for Mexican ports, to-day, she carried as steerage passengers General Bolanos and Captain Bustamente, the San Salvadorian refugees. When Ezeta left the two here, last Sunday, it was with a promise to meet them again on the Salvadorian frontier. Lustamente received 110 from his chief, with instructions to meet him in Mexico, "lo Polanos Ezeta intrusted over SU.OOO. His destination is Guatemala. Witti this sum it is said, Bolanos is to begin to raise an army an1 prepare to co-operate with Ezela. Mexican Consul Coney accompanied the men to the steamer and Introduced them to Captain Yon Hales. Instead of being put into the steerage, they were given a cabin on the upper deck. Near their quarters was the stateroom of General Martinez, of the Mexican army. Martinez Is a great friend of the President of Mexico, and he and the refugees at once fraternized. Martinez is one o the leading generals of the Mexican army, and ii. was said on the St. Paul that he wa3 F?nt up here to render whatever assistance he could to the refugees. IS THIS A DEMOCRATIC SCHEMK? Closing- of Surar Keflucriei Charged to 'the New Tariff Law. NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-President Havemeyer, of ih? American Sugar Refining Company, has tesued orders for the closing down at once of one-half of the refineries under its control, and next week the other refineries will be ordered to shut down. This actloa, la taken because of the large amount cf refined sugar on hand, and also, if is said, because of the operation of the new tariff. Henry O. Havemeyer said to-day: "The operation of the new tariff law has already closed half the refineries in the country, throwing the men who worked in them out of employment and it wlil probably clo all the rest of them next week. Th.'s will jnean putting at least ten thousand men out of work. The price of sugir is below the cost Of production. For some time pist the company has treen working the refineries at a considerable loss."' CONVOCATION OF MOTHERS. Women Meet and Di?euss Jlethods of ; Training Their Little Ones. CHICAGO. Sept. 25. At the initial session of the national gathering .known, as the Mothers Convocation, at the Kindergarten College, to-day, a large audience was addressed by Dr. W. W. Jaggard, who spoke on prer.?.tl influences. Dr. Norman Bridge follow 1 v iih a lecture on babies' foods. Mrs, rcu f, presiding, stated that the object in ceiling the congress was a desire to Pf-ure wfU-dlrect?d training for the children who are some day to be citizens. The influence of the mothers upon the Nation was a wonderful one, she said, and kindergarten methods in home training would result in inestimable good. To-day's gathering was the first congress of Its kind ever held, and there were women present from all over the country. Tae rush was so great that an overflow meeting was held, in charge of Miss Elizabeth Harrison. ALTGELD AFTER PULLMAN. He Wants the Car Company's Tax Assessment Increased Millions. - SPRINGFIELD, 111., Sept. 25.-Governor Altgeld to-day addressed the State Board of Equalization on the assessment of the Pullman Talace Car Company's property. He showed many figures and facts concerning the company's manner of escaping taxation in this and other States and In the Dominion of Canada. The company, for Instance, gave in $3G.Ono,(HW as Its capital stock, when.it should be $61,000,OCO. The Governor, in concluding, begged the board to make a proper and just assessment of this property in justice to the people and the State. The speech has caused a sensation. Ilnnk Robber Captured.

M'KINLEY'S BIG DAY

Thousands of People Jammed Into Tomlinson Hall. Ohio's Governor Makes a Masterly Address, Holding His Immense Audience Spellbound for an Hour. GEN. HARRISON "PRESIDES He Makes One of His Characteristically Strong Speeches. Seven Thousand People Are Brought from Neighboring1 Towns to Hear the Great Protectionist. HIS ADDRESS IN FULL The Ills of Democratic Tariff Tinkering Score;! at Length. On His Return Trip to Ohio He Is Greeted by Immense Crowds at All the Stations. The McKinley meeting, yesterday afternoon, at 1 o'clock. In Tomlinson Hall, is to, be compared to that of Vhitelaw Reld In 1892 iij point of size. It wi3 incomparably better and larger even than that in temper . and enthusiasm. There was packing of people from pit fo 'the. last standing space of the lofty and capacious third gallery, so far In the rear that the features of the distinguished speakers were not plain. The five long, 'wide aisles of the great auditorium were 'packed so closely that the audience seemed rolling In rounded waves. The character of the audience was remarkable. It was composed in ninetenths part of visitors from the villages, towns and other cities of the State. The Indianapolis worklngman was not present In so large a number as was desirable, as the meeting was In, the daytime, but the farmer tvas there he who owns the discredited sheep, and he was present to. put in his defense of this valuable frequenter of the brambles in the pasture. There were hundreds of ladies, not alone seated, but standing in the aisles, being too late to get seats. For two hours the people stood attentive and enthusiastic. None could leave if he desired, unless at the doors. The second gallery, filling three sides of the hall, and the foyer were filled to the last Incn. The eighteen doorways, leading out to the wide stone corridor were jammed. Such was the size of the crowd. The tremendous volumes of sound and roar showed its character. The windows rattled and the timbers of the btg structure trembled when the three cheers for .McKinley, for which General Harrison called at the close of the speech, rang out. There were Inspiration, encouragement and exultation in the day for the Republicans of the State. It is not often that two such leaders thunder from the same platform. I OX THE STAGE. The same crowded conditions ruled on the stage. The mass there rose from the sitting posture inthe front row to the height of men standing on chairs in the rear. There were manjl well-known faces there. One of the most interesting was that of General Manson, an ex-Democratic State official, a brave Mexican and Union soldier, holding high rank. He is a member of the Soldiers and Sailors' Monument Commission, but feeble In his venerable years. He was a Democrat after the war, but no man was ever freer of the charge of disloyalty under which his party had so long rest. He stands well An the hearts of the people of Indiana, and It 13 hinted now that he has become so thoroughly disgusted with the administration's betrayal of the veterans that he will this year vote the Republican ticket. When he appeared, feebly advancing to a chair on the stage, the audience broke out in applause. It was a patriotic tribute to long years of honorab'.e public service in war and State. The General was sensible of the honor done him. He was the only man who shared the applause with Harrison and McKinley, an honor worthy of entablature by his family. Among the other well-known men on the stage were ex-Gov. Albert C. Porter, ex-Attorney-general W. H. H. Miller, Charles L Henry, who is to be Bynum's successor in Congress; George W. Faris, candidate for Congress in the Eighth. district; ex-Gov. Ira J. Chase, Charles B. Landis cf Delphi, ex-Lieut. Gov. Thomas Hanna, Thomas Nelson of Terre Haute, General McGinnis, S. N. Chambers, Francis Murphy, Dan Ransdell.v ex-mar3hal of the District of Columbia; W. F. Kenworthy, of pskaloosa, la.; Charles F. Griffin, ex-Secretary of State; John M. Butler, General Coburn, R. O. Hawkins, W. J. Richards, Gen. R. S. Foster, George L Knox, Marcus L. Sulzer, president of the Indiana Lincoln League; Lewis C. Walker, R. M. Seeds, secretary of the Republican State committee; Chalmers Brown, president of" the Columbia Club; George B. Elliott, president of the Marion Club; Thomas E. Potter, president of the Commercial Travelers Republican Club; J. Q. Hicks, president of the Railroad Men's Club; C. B. Case, Mayor of Greencastle; J. B. Cheadle, ex-member of Congress; Lawson M. Harvey, candidate for judgeof the Superior Court; Justus C. Adams, condidate for the Legislature: Ed Leonard, a prominent citizen of Richmond. The State of Ohio furnished a distlnguished list in the person of W. T. Cope, . Treasurer of State, and possible candidate for Governor; Sam M. Taylor, secretary of State and candidate for re-election at the head of the State ticket; C. V. F. Dick, chairman of the State central committee; Mr. Boyle, private secretary to the Governor, and Hon. II. L. Morey, ex-member of Congress. The hall was in charge of Sergeant-at-arms H. M. Mounts, and had been handsomely relieved of its vast bareness by the novel and graceful use of bunting. From diagonal corners of the lofty walnut paneled ceiling hung a long, broad streamer of white and one of red looped in the center of the hall by a transverse band of blue. To the rear of the loop hung a larse flag downwird, with the lower line relieved by a graceful loop. Either end of the proscenium was draped with a monster flag, and over the speakers' heads, hung another national emblem as the background of large portraits of 'McKinley. Lincoln, Grant and Harrison. In the rear there were more flags It was truly an American day. A BURST OF APPLAUSE. When the crowd saw Benjamin Harrison and William McKinley advancing from the rlsht stage door there was a burst of applause that rose in volume as U swept over

the hou. It took all the thousands an instant to understand the immediate occasion and to center attention. But when the speakers reached the chairs assigned them the audience was In mind and form for instantaneous and - spontaneous greeting. It was of such a nature as to leave nothing to be desired. Men threw high their hats and canes, and women waved their fans and kerchiefs. The reception to two of the great statesmen of the country was naturally an ovation to which even

the recipients, accustomed to public demonst ration. cOuld not but be more than ordinarily sensible. It was a matter of triumphant vindication; only an earnest, however, of what history has in store for their part In the famous industrial period of 1889-93. The good will shown these two noted factors in the prosperity of that Republican administration could "only be taken that the substitution of the Sugar Trust tariff law for that bearing McKinley's name was a trade in which the people had been defrauded, their peace and self-respect shocked and their prosperity laid in the dust. The rising of ex-President Harrison to present the chief orator was the occasion of applause so instantaneous, of such volume, so forceful that only the excitement of a war time could probably exceed the tension of feeling. The man whose features are so familiar to the people of Indiana and the country stood smiling calmly while the cheering was on, and when it had spent itself one could have heard a pin drop in expectation of the first words. The ex-President was evidently in his best form. Few ever heard him speak with more confidence or with a sense of power greater than that with which he was invested yesterday. It was a triumphant Indorsement of the administration of which the men now present on the same stage were leaders of in two coordinate branches of the government. The first words of ' General Harrison were facetious, at his own expense, and the next were charged up to the Democratic county chairman amid a hearty laugh. 'This was the reference to the experience of the Democratic manager last Saturday night when two if his party orators were to speak at Masonic Hall. The hope of a crowd was not satisfactory. The chairman sent a messenger to the hall to see if there was anybody in it, and when the speakers learned the size of the audience they refused to attend. The fiasco was well enough advertised to become a matter of general laugh when General Harrison referred to it. GENERAL HARRISON'S SPEECH. The speech was received with repeated expressions of favor, sometimes reaching a mighty stram. His remarks were as follows: . . "My Fellow-citizens The delightful duty has been assigned me bv the State central committee of the Republican party of Indiana to preside over this great meeting. I am to be Its chairman; not its speaker, and I congratulate you on that fact. (Laughter.) I brought the distinguished gentleman to whom you are to listen to this hall this afternoon without sending any courier in advance to find whether there were enough people here for him to speak to. (Cheers.) "I notice in the audience here to-day, with great satisfaction, the presence of many of our older fellow-citizens. The old men ere fond of telling of the 'good old times. but the times to which they look back with so much delight are glorified In the fact that the processes of nature and of Providence have covered the things that were hard and brought out in the memory those thiners that were sweet and pleasant. But the good times which I have in mind are not good old times, but very young good times, so young that only the un weaned babes have no memory of them. Only two years ago this country was not onlv the most prosperous country In the world for that it had been before but It stood upon the highest pinnacle of prosperity that it had ever before attained. (Cheers.) This Is not the verdict of politicians; it is the verdict of the commercial reporter: it is the expressed opinion of those men who make a profession of studying bus'ness conditions. The last two years have been years of distress and disaster. EOSSES DEFY CALCULATION. "The losses of them defy the skill of the calculator. It has been said. I think, not without reason, that they exceed the cost of the great civil war. These losses have not been class losses; they, have been distributed. The holder o! stocks and bonds has found his wealth shrinking, and so has the farmer, and the worklngman hs found his wages shrinking. There has been a general participation In the calamities of the last two years as there was a general participation In the prosperity of the preceding years. The great national debts, like .those of the civil war, have sometimes their adequate compensation. Gren as was the cost of the war for the Union, we feel that it was adequately compensated in the added glory that was given to the fiag and in the added security that was given to our civil institutions and the unity of the Nation. (Cheers.) "But the losses of these last two years have no such compensating thought. There i ro good to be gotten out of them, except for guidance. They seem to be of retributive nature, like the swamps into which the traveler has unwarily driven, that have no ameliorating circumstances, except as they teach htm to keep on the foot hill and to follow the rOad that Is on the hill tops. Our people-seem to be inclined to make the most that can be made out of these years of disaster. We were told in the old times the rich were getting richer and the poor poorer; and to cure that imaginary ill our political opponents have brought on a time when everybody is getting poorer. (Great . applause.) I think that 1 remember to have heard of an inscription once upon a tombstone that ran something like this: 'I was well; I thought to be better; I took medicine, and here I lie (Laughter and applause.) A BILL WITHOUT FRIENDS. "Our Democratic friends have passed a tariff bill that is approved so far as I can learn by only six Democratic Senators and nobody else. (Laughter.) Wee hear of the little coterie of Senators whose names I could not mention, perhaps for they have not been well Identified, but their numbers has , generally been fixed at a round half dozen-rwho decided what the tariff bill should be, and they are pleased with It, and nobody else. (Applause.) Mr. Cleveland has repudiated It and has declared that it involves 'perfidy and dishonor; that it was shameful in its character and in the influences that produced it; that he would not even put his name to it. All of the leading Democratic papers in the country have condemned it bath of the old stalwart variety and of the mugwump variety. The Democratic chairman of the ways and means committee has condemned it, and the. entire Democratic majority in the House of Representatives. Now that is a great misfortune. It Is a misfortune that the Democratic party was not able to evolve a tariff bill that that party would accept as a settlement of the tariff question. But it is not accepted as a settle""In the very nature of things, a bill thus passed, and thus characterized, cannot be a settlement; and already we have the proclamation from Mr. Cleveland, and from Mr. Wilson, that this Is only the beginning of the crusade against American industries; that the war is to go on. Now that Is a great misfortune. If we could prove by our Democratic friends that we were in the bottom of the well, dark, and damp, and dismal as it was, we would have begun to look tip and see whether we could not find some star of hope: we would have begun to anoint our bruises, and try to build some scaffold by which we might try to climb out. But we are told Jhat there are greater depths yet in store for us. And so tMs country is to be held in a State of suspeL:ie upon this question. ONE RESULT OF DEPRESSION. 'It can be ended in just one way, and that Is by overwhelming Republican victories In November. (Great applause.) When New York ulves Levi P. Morton 73.000 majority (applause), and Indiana her State ticket 25,000 (applause), and Illinois and those States that have wavered, fall again Into line, and the next Congress is Republican, there will be an assurance that we have found the end of this disastrous condition. (Cheers.) "I think the OhJo Democrats the other day declared that all these disasters of which we speak came upon the country

under the McKinley bill. Well, to be sure, the McKinley bill was a law until thu 29th day was it of August, when the Gorman bill was passed, but it was a law in restraint. It had been arrested. We were listening from day to day to the prophecies that In two weks, or three, or four it wxwld be repealed. It was not a raw in the sense that any merchant or manufacturer oould act upon. It. It was dead In a business sense, though alive In the statute. Why, sir. It would be just about as reasonable to complain of a man who had been seized, handcuffed and locked up in a cell for not supporting his family as to complain of the McKinley bill during this period of suspense. And then we are told that under the McKinley bill the price of wool went down under protective duty and since It has been made free it is going up; that sugar on the free list was higher than sugar with a forty-per-cent, duty. All this notwithstanding the old doctrine that the duty wa always added to the cost of the domestic article. "But, mv friends. I do not want to detain you "from that enterta'ning feat to which you are invited. I afn. felad that Indiana to-day gives so royal a reception to Governor McKinley. He has endeared himself to all bv his record as a gallant young soldier, battling for the flag. He has honored himself, his State and the country by Ms conspicuous service in high legislative and executive places? No man more than he is familiar with these questions that now engage the public thought. No man is more able than he lucidly to set them before the people. (Applause.) I do not need to invoke your attention to what ie shall say. He will command it. I have now the pleasure of presenting him to you. (Applause.)" Governor McKinley being the guest and the chief orator, met with a royal reception. The people refused to subside in their enthusiasm. The orator's first words could not be heard. The voice was low and clear, but not until the merely formal words of the first sentences were uttered did the volume of the speaker's voice make itself apparent. He then spoke as one inspired with the. truth of the doctrine he advocates. There was the blaze of the eye, the masterful bearing of the massive head and the strength and firmness of truth in the lines of the smooth-shaken face. The sight of the glowing orator w itself sympathetic. There is something ir. the face of McKinley that recalls to' the student of the oratory of the couhtry the descriptions given of Webster. McKinley' s eyes are not so deep set, his voice has not the volume or resonance of the Olympian oracle of constitutional exposition, but the periods have an earnestness, his voice has an inflection and a force, his dark eyp has the glow of the living: coal of fire. No one can hear . McKinley and doubt that his soul is touched with the living truth of a rule of Action which has for its object the upbuilding of America and the highest welfare of every American citi-' zen. Sincerity, which is one of the first requisites of an orator, belongs to the chief exponent of protection in perfect fullness.. It was no wonder that men well advanced in years and women of tender strength stood through his speech of an hour and fifteen minutes without apparent sense of weariness. There was restfulness and oblivion of fatigue In the magnetic presence and refreshing wealth of fact and argument,' as well as in fhe eloquence of the speaker. GOV. M'KINLEY'S SPEECH.

For ' Over nn Hoar He Arrnlns Democracy Mismanagement. - Governor McKinley spoke as follows: "Mr. President and fellow-cltlzins of Indiana, ladies and gentlemen In November, 1S92, the Republican national administration, able, efficient and patriotic, which had managed the government with exceptional zeal end ability for nearly four years, at the head of which was one of our greatest Presidents, the illustrious citizen from Indiana (applause), he who presides over this meeting to-day, was, by the voice of the American people, voted out of power. Those who assisted In that decree and those who were opposed to it have been regretful and unhappy ever since. (Applause.) In obedience to that decree the Democratic party has been in supreme control of the government for now nearly nineteen months. ancL ror the greater part of that time it has been engaged in trying to revise the tariff. It musu have been apparent, even to Congress, that Ion before it h?.d concluded the consideration of that subject the people had already revised their opinion and were filled with anxiety to pass judgment uon. their work. It dldr.'t take the peode of this country asMong to revise their views as it took the Democratic party to revise the tariff. This hni been a period of sober reflection studied by the discipline of adversity, and, after all, that form of Instruction which is most effective and enduring is experience, and, we have had that in treat abundance for the last eighteen months, but have been blessed with little else, and the country to-day is ready to speak upon the work of the Democratic party and the Democratic administration. 'The;c has never been. I think. In the history -of the 'country a greater revolution in public sentimeht than the one which has occurred in the last eighteen monthr., and. since the November election of 1532, commencing in New York, thence to Pennsylvania, thence in the two congressional districts in the great Empire State of, New York, thence to Iowa and Ohio and a half a dozen other States in the year 18T. pnd then coming down to the elections of 1S0I. commencing with Oregon and ending with Maine, gives to the people some realization of the wonderful revolution that has taken place in the public sentiment of the country within twenty-four months. What, my fellow-citiz?ns, has been the cause of this remarkable change? The Democratic party has been running the government for eighteen months, during which time little else has been running. (Laughter and app'.ause.) We have had very little to employ us but observation and reflection. Business has been practically stoppea. iaDor nas ueen little employed, and, when employed, at greatly reduced wages. The decrease in wealth. In property and wages is beyond human calculation. Government and people have been draining their reserves and both have been running In debt. The government has suffered in its revenues ar.d the people In their incomes, and distre? s has been everywhere universal. No bright rays of hope have been manifested anywhere and the appeals to charity were never co universal and never so incessant p.nd their necessity never more manifest than in the last two years. RESULT OF PARTY PERFIDY. "Congress has trifled with the sacred trust confided to it by the people, it hai disgusted its own constituents, imperiled their enterprises and their investments, and the people have been thinking about it; and those who have not been thinking have been feeling the stress of the times wrought by the greU change. And whaL my fellow-citizens, in all these months have they .done? They have given us a revision of the 'tariff, mich as it is, a revision which the presiding officer. General ILuriscn, has well said, nobody approves of, everybody is ashamed cf. Even Mr. Mills, of Texas, declared in open debate that the GormanBrtce bill, which "has just bect me a law. was not approved by a thousand people within the limits of the United States. I ordinarily disagree with Mr. Mills, but In that I quite agree with him. A law, my fellow -citizens, which never had the consideration of the committee on ways ami mean; a law which was never considered by the finance committee of the Senate; a law -which was never considered by the conference committee of the two houses, and which was only left In the conference committee and not withdrawn by the Senate, because of the hurried action of the House of Representative? in adapting that law under the threat of the agen-ts of the trusts that it should be that bill or none, and In all human probability, none. A bi'.l which has- received the ccidtination of the President of the United States. A bill which he condemned before its passage, and, when it was passed. unJer the mightiest pressure of his party, he refused to give to It his fclgnature. A law which he declared was the result cf pirty perfidy and party dishonor, and which, since Its passage, he declares the very communism of pelf. And It Is this law, this tariff legislation, that the people cf this country are asked to approve by their votes In November next, and they are asked to return to Congress from the great State of Indiana and other States the very same men who helped to make this law. Will you do it T (Cries of 'No, No.') You have an opportunity here In Indiana to show your disapproval of that law by leaving at home the men who helped to write it. (Cries oT We will do It.') There are about six in Ohio who will be left at home. "My fellow-citizens, the manner of making thte law should condemn it if nothing else. It was not made by a deliberate House. It was not madei by a deliberate Senate. It was traded through in violation ct u-Jy erinclnle. tiyJ!3 interests; c4

public morals, ail I want to slow that, not by Republican t"tinio.iy. but by Democratic testimony. The litstorr of nri tariff legislation Is interesting and Instructive. The Houe, which clor.i? has the power to originate revenue h passel what is known as the Wilson Wil. & measure which has the unenviable distinction cf being the only tariff bill that wr

-indorsed by a PrekJ?nt of ttn United states in nis annual message to Congrrs. before It had ever l-ft submitted to th House, before It had ever been cens-i derc-t by the committee on ways and means anl before it had ever been adopted trr any official committee of either the House Senate of the Unite! States. That bill dii not raise sufiiclent revenue to mcvt the ex rnses of the government. Every estlmato have seen of its revenue raising power created a deficit of from forty to seventy millions of dollars. That bill wer.t o thm Senate nnd took me usual course of reference to the committee en finance which bis charge of the revenue legislation of th Senate. After protracted consiJeration bv the committee the Wilson bill, with mor than four hundred amendments, waj re ported to the Senate, but. after mirh talk, ing and wrangling, it was soon made raar.i fest that neither the Wllon bill nor the Wilson bill with the Senate committee' amendments would pass that body. And. so, taking the bill out of the hands of th committee, taking it out of the har.ds of the Senate, taking it out of the control of the finance committee of the Senate, a elfconstituted committee known a the ad Justing committee, consising of Mr. Joni of Arkansas. Mr. Vest of Missouri and Mr. Harris of Tennessee, on which there wasn't a single Northern Senator, -vva? made an adjusting committee to fix up n. bill that could command forty-three voir. cr a majority of the Senate of the United! States. THE SENATORS' DISHONOR. "The Senator from Arkansas himself best tells how It was done. Speaking of thr bill of the finance committee not -hiving been signed after its passage, he a'.d, an I I quote from the record: " 'We knew that to pass the I 'll in this form at that tiii.e was impossible. With that fact staring us in the face we saw the necessity of parsing some sort of a tariff bill while we had the power. Th Senator from Tennessee, the Senator from Missouri, myself and other members of tho committee, and Senators not on the committee,' discussed the situation freely. I began a conference with Individual Senators, one after another. I carefully noted down the objections and criticisms of each, and to each particular paragraph throughout the bill, noted the objection made to it. I went from the beginning to the end through the bill, with man after man on this kIJ of the chamber, spending days and days in tha work. After I had talked with each, mm who was opposing the Mil and had noted on the margin of the bill what waa said I had every objection protested by each of them, and after I had gone over the marginal notes and made up my mini exactly what were the smallest modinca tions which would at all imet the difficulties which were in the way. I consulted the Secretary of the Treasury and th President, and thus we made the bill.' "That is to say, he said to the several Senators who were not pledged, and who refused to be bound bjr party caucus. 'What do 3'ou want? What is your price for voting for this bill? What is your requirement, that I may put you down amony the forty-three Senators necessary for th passage of this bill? Name your consideration.' He. didn't put the question. What Is for the best interests of the countrv? He didn't ask, what is for the best interest of the wage earners? He didn't atk. What is best for the farmers and the agriculturists? He didn't ask. What would carry out the pledges and principles of the Democratio party? He asked, 'What must b the price to be given to the unbound Senator tx get him to pass by his vote some sort or a bill while the Democratic party had the power.' And that is the way that bill was made. That, my feilow-citizens, of Itself ought to condemn It. The voice of Indiana, was not heard in the making of that bill. Three Senators from three touthern States made the industrial law for sixty-five millions of people, and I give notice hve now, speaking for my fellow-countrymen, that we do not propose to be oound by legislation made in that way. (Applause.) "But, my fellow-citizens, this bill givef some protection. Rice is carefully protected by a duty of more than 8) per cent., and sugar is not wholly neglected; it ha ome tree iraue in u nere ana some there, but principally here. There is a taxifT on peanuts, but free trade In hoop Iron -that goes to bind the tale of cotton. There is a tariff on sumach, but free trade In wool. There is a tariff on mica, but free trade in lumber. There is a tariff on the grain bags of the Northern farmer, but there is no tariff on the cotton bagging of the Southern farmer. In every schedule there1 is tie grossest exhibition of sectionalism and unjust discrimination. Is it any wonder that even Mr. Cleveland condemned it. and in his letter to Congressman Catchings deClares: 'There are provisions In this bill which are not In the line of tariff reform, ad it contains inconsistencies and crudities which ought not to appear In tariff laws or laws of any kind, while inliuences surrounded it in Its late stages and interfered with its final construction which ought not to be recognized or tolerated in Democratio reform rc m(lc A ri 1..I - . . . . . ........ . A . me i r i i , iiiJlifc have added, nor any other councils. But they were accepted; they were recognized; they were tolerated, and the people of thi country are asked to approve .by their votes what Mr. Cleveland hirmelf so strongly condemns. THE LOUISIANA TRADE. "But, my fcllow-cltlzens, this Is not the whole history of this remarkable bill. Senator "Gorman, in his rpeech of July 2D, 1S31. disclosed facts never before given to the public when he said: " 'Louisiana, through Its two Senators, then the tate distinguished mm who occupied a scat in this body. Randall L Gibson, and Edward D. White, waited to know, before they entered upon the campaign of 12. wuwi the policy of the party was to be under the apparently free-tra1e resolutions adopted at Chicago. After a great deal of talking, after a most cartful consideration, the candidate of our partr (that Is. Mr. Cleveland) trld them. t-,ll thex two gentlemen, that he Democratic party was not to destroy Indi'siries; th.it it should place a fair duty upon dutiable articles, a revenue duty; that the MJ which had met the approval of the Democratic partr was the Mills bill, and on the liiof the Mills bill the Democratic partv would act.' .It will be remembered; thut (!.. Mills bill gave a high duty to suc.ar. Tii Junior Senator from New Jersey.' flM Mr" Gorman, 'the Senator from Ohio. Mr. Brie, and myself, were then clving our time, and our money, and every tiling that miri tan give for the success of the party. We conferred with all these dtlnjuishM gentlemen. We were not at the conference with the candidate. Mr. Cleveland, but had It from both sides what had occurred. They wanted to know then of us If the Democratic organization of which we were, and particularly at the head of which we wer put the same construction upon it and would be in favor of that line of procedure thereafter. They said to us frankly "We want to tell our pec pie the truth. We don't want to pres- you to give a sjng! fraction of a cent to Louisiana, but we only want to know the truth;" and at that solemn conclave we all Fall. "Yes, It is a dutiable article, and you shrill have It." No man, no living being, has ever charged me with perfidy. No soul can say that I hav ever made a promise about rublic or private matters that I did no: carry out if I had the power to do It. These two Senators and myself, Brice and Smith, carrying out our riedge with the Iouis:ar.a Senators made before the campaign, have fdood here and been gibbeted as three men w.io wert in the Sugar tru5-t.' "This, my fellow-citizens. Is the plain ctory of the transact'on In the campaign Of ISDStold In opvn debate, told In public session, told to the country, x uhlUhed in the enduring record of the United Mates, that the candidate of the. Democratic party and the managers of the Democratic party coatrollin;? the organization made a private contract with the Senators Iron LruifUna, tho conrideratlon being the electoral vote of the State of Iouisiana, that they null take care of sugar. They inclined tluir platform. You never heard of frt f-i-gar in the campaign of lfl from the lips of u. Denvcratic orator. It wasn't In the Democratic platform. It warn't spoken of in the Democratic in--s cf the country, but there were three leaders of e Democratic party making a private contract with a great Southern State of the Union that they would modify the platform of ttuir party privately and necretly In consideration of the electoral vote of the State, Tact is the way thai law was made. LOWJTAUIFF, EOW WAGES. "It reduce i duties, but evtry time It reduced a duty It reducel the wages of labor. Why, they talk about having reduced duties from CO to 1) pr conk: they go all over the State telling aUut the average per rL cf reduction cf the tariff they have made. Tell me. men cf Indla-na. in wnose interests is the reduction of duties mad? by the Gorman-Uri law of 1S4? What does reduction of duties mv-an'.
