THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 10, 1892 TWELYE TAGES.

BY A TARIFF SAGE,

The Springer Policy of Attack Commended. David A. Wells Favors the Tentative Plan As the Best Means of Remedying Existing Evils. SOME HISTORICAL FACTS. How the English High Tariff Was Reformed. Under the Leadership of Sir Robert Peel. A Policy That Will Bring About Good Results. Representative Fithian of Illinois Takes Steps to Have Agricultural Implements Placet! on the Free List A Measure That AVill Receive the Support of the Independents in Congress Sub-Committees of the "Ways and Means Committee Appointed. "Washington, Feb. 5. The Springer pol)cy of attacking the republican high tariif by separate bills has found indorsement from the great political economist and tariff reformer, the Hon. David A. Wells of Connecticut. At the next conference of the democratic members of the ways and taeans-committe a letter will be read, not only indorsing the Springer policy as the wisest party course at this time, but intimating that, even if the democrats controlled both houses of congresa and the executive, tho eeparato bill plan, father than a measure for general revision, would be the wiser course. That the gentleman whose works and essays for years served aa the chief democratic literature in the agitation for tariff reduction ehonld approve the plan now adopted by the democrats of the ways and means committee is naturally a source of preat gratification ' to Mr. Springer and the other members of the houoe who have Etood as advocates of the Eeparate bill policy aa opposed to the demand for attempt at general revision. The letter of 2dr. "Wells is addressed to the chairman of of the ways and means committee and is aa follows : Norwich, Conn., Feb. 1, 1892. ily Dear Mr. Springer: I have given considerable thought to yonr question as to the best method of procuring tariff reform by legislation and find myself more and more incliceJ to the opinion that even if the democratic party was in full control of both branches of congress and of the executive, the wisest and most practical plan would be what might be termed tentative rather than radical. To frme a new tariff bill wisely embodying: reform ideas even if the plan of the 7alker tariff of 146 is adopted aa a structural model will require much time, creat labor and almost superhuman wisdom. The best exferts can rarely te.l wherein our complicated nduitrial and commercial organization, the final incidence of any tax, will fall. No bid can be framed that will not contain Incongruities, inexpediencies, errors and, perhaps, absurdities, which oniy time and experience will reveal. In that hot 'partisan political discussion that will follow &ueh a bid all tbeie weak points wilt be picked out, exaggerated and used to obscure more important issues and confuse the public. Suppose, for examf)ls, the proposed bill puts' works of art, pai Dings and statuary, not ordinary merchandise, on the free list, as would be desirable. The argument in favor of such legislation is that uch product" do not need the protection of any tariff, that all civilized countries make a point of encouraging such importations and of bot restricting them, and that their presence in the country develops artistic tastes among our people wnico. in turn creates demand for artisticproducts and so calls into existence new domestic industries employing highly skilled labor at high wages, both of men and women. Bat how much would this plea avail before the great mass of voters in the agricultural districts with a political opponent's counterassertions that pictures aud statuary were bought only by the rich aa pure objects of luxury, and are, therefore, eminently fit subjects for taxation. Can we afford to give the enemy any advantages in discussion or opportunities for befogging the real issues? Again, with a complete tariff bill the friends f reform would have to meet the entire force of the proteetionicts, active and compact, through the attraction of further opportunity for public plunder. On the other hand, under the tentative plan that is, of comparatively Tew issues the tendency of those interest, not immediately aSected, would be to sluggishness and indifference. The old maxim, "divide and conquer," seems to be, therefore, most pertinent under existing ciroumstances. I would also ask your attention to a matter of historical experience, full of suggestion which thus far seems to have been entirely overlooked, and that is that Sir Robert Peel in dealing with exactly the same problem as now confronts tariü legislators, but from a British Standpoint, adopted the tentative method, and owed all of his great success to the fact that he did adopt it At the time Mr. Feel took office In 1341 the British tariff was in every feature extremely protective, or better, extremely restrictive on British foreign commerce as it bad keen for centuries. It was more complicated sod taxed a greater number of articles than the McKinley bill. The first measure or bill for tariff, reform introduced by him in 1812 was very conservative and proposed little more than the removal of duties from crude materials and essential to tnanufacture with a view of cheapening the tost of mennfacturing to British manufacturer! and has been since characterized in history as aa elaborate attempt to foster trade by reducing import duties, at the same time cont uuing protection. The measure encountered the piost violent opposition. Precisely the same rgnments were brought forward in favor of he continuance of the McKinley tariff as were advanced in support of tho then existing British tariff. The same predietions of impending disaster to domestic industries as are now made were showered upon parliament and the public. The bill proposed by Sir Robert Feel became a law. No farther import tariff legislation was proposed tin til 145, but in the three preceding fears the beneficial influence of the tariff reductions of had been so manifest in reviving industry and commerce that Mr. Peel's chief opponents in the former year became his thief supporters in the latter and voiced a general pnblio sentiment in demand. ng further and greater reforms. A bill was accordingly Introduced and passed in IHj removing or reducing the duties on a large additional number f articles, bat still maintaining protective daties both upon manufactured articles and agricultural product, and it was not on til 115 that Sir Kobert Peel directly attacked the protectionist system by introducing and passing the bill which repealed the eorn laws and greatly reduced or entirely removed the duties on manufactured producta. After this, although Sir Robert Feel did not remain in Hire, his policy was continued, but it was not until lio2 when the last relie of the British avagation laws were swept from the statute book, that the policy of Great Britian became wholly antagonistic to the maintenance and enaetment of laws restrictive to freedom of exchange or the imposition for any other purpose than revenue. From this brief review of British experience It is clear that Sir Bobert Feel in 1342 had at

tempted to reform the British tariff as a whole and adopted any course in dealing with his problem other than tho tentative one, be would not have been successful. And I venture to predict that if we adopt the same polioy, history, on a grander scale, will repeat itself. Every relaxation of the existing restriction of trade will increase trade and the blessings of freedom and of exemption from all unnecessary taxation will be so understood and appreciated by the masses of the people that retrogressive action will not be tolerated. A brief word further. By adopting the tentative method and sending to the senate few simple bills enacted by the house bills removing duties on wool, salt, coal, lumber, tin plate and the like the democratic party will define and formulate the plan and a scope on which tarift debate in the coming presidential contest shall be conducted. General debate will to a great extent be dispensed with and discussion will be concentrated on the essentials. Every senator who votes in opposition to the removnl of taxation from such articles as above specified puts himself at once on the defensive and in a position sure to be politically uncomfortable. The masses have been and probably always will be slow to comprehend the taritl' question when discussed generally, but they will not be slow to recognize and appreciate the e"ect of the taxation on commodities that enter directly and largely into their consumption and increase the most of their living and prodcots. It is assumed, and none of the reforms in the tariff which it is proposed to embody in separate bills.'can receive the sanction of the senate and executive and become enactments. This I do not regard aa altogether certain. But suppose the assumption is to be fully warranted by experience, and that in the coming presidential contest the people indorse by their votes the action of the house. Then in the next congress, or the next session of the Fifty-second congress it would be wise to renew the detailed measures in question rather than a general bill; for in the faceof decided ratification of them by the people, it would be difficult to see how they could be rejected. And if accepted, even in part, the future work of reforming the tariff, either by a general bid, or in detail, would be comparatively easy, for every interest deprived of further opportunity to plunder the public would follow the example of the quinine manufacturers, when this community was put on the free list, and become ardent tariff reformers; so suggesting the fable of the old fox, who, when he lost his tail in a trap, was most anxious, for general considerations, that all the other foxes should have tbsir tails cut off. Such are some of the reasons which indnce me to prefer and recommend the attacking of our existing taritl system in detail, or by what I have termed the tenative method, rather than by a general bill which involves a contest all along the line and in respect to every particular, both of tax and administration. I atn very respectfully, David A. Wells. FARM IMPLEMENTS ON THE FREE LIST.

Congressman Fithian's Resolution With Tlila Knd in View. The first attempt to enlarge the ecope of the democratic policy of the ways and means committee came today in the form of a resolution introduced by Congressman Fithian of Illinois directing the ways and means committee to report a bill placinz all kinds of agricultural implements upon the free liit. Mr. Fithian thinks his proposition should have the support of every democratic representative from an agricultural district and he has already received assurance of support from Conjires-raan Watson and his colleagues of the people's party in the house, Mr. Fithian's resolution w somewhat voluminous and opens by aseerting that it has been established by satisfactory evidence that manufacturers of farm implements in the Uniled fcftates aro tellim farm implements in foreign countries and to jobbers for export for less than the same implements are sold to the farmers of this country. The fact, it eays, has been conclusively established by the following answer of A. 1). Farquhar, an agricultural implement maker of York, Fa., to the Home Market club : We do sell goods cheaper to customers in foreign countries direotly and to jobbers for export than we do to the domestic trade. This I could not truthfully deny or csadidly conceal. You would like to learn the process by which the manufacturer can afiord to sell the foreign buyer goods for less than be can the home customer. Tee reply is simplicity itself. We receive the prices current on the market on which we sell. We can not get more and can not be expected to take less. The resolution concludes: Whereas, Under this system of plundering the farmers of our country, they are compelle1 to pay more for their implements than the same instruments are sold for to the farmers abroad whose products are marketed in competition with the products of our farms; and, Whereas, The duties upon farm implements are an unjust discrimination against American farmers for the benefit of manufacturers who do not need it and is therefore legalized robbery; therefore, Kesolved, That the committee on ways and means are hereby instructed to report a oill to this house at an early day placing all kinds of agricultural implements on the free list. "My reason for the introduction of the resolution," said Mr. Fithian, "is indicated by the resolution itself. It has often been asserted, and never successfully denied, that implements manufactured in the United States were sold to foreign trade for less than the same are sold to our own farmers. During the last campaign in New York etate I was informed by many farmers in St. Lawrence county in that state, which is the hotbed of republicanism and protection, that implements manufactured in the United States, each as were used by the farmers of the whole country, could be purchased much cheaper in Canada, just across the St. Lawrence river, than the same implements cost on the American side. There is no class of people of our country that have felt the unjust burdens of our present tariff system more than farmers. They are compelled to sell their products in the free markets of the world and buy all their necessaries in a protected market. I do not believe in attacking the McKinley bill piecemeal, but if that is to be tbe policy I know of no better way to attack it than by placing farm implements on the free list. A. B. Farquhar, an implement manufacturer of York, Fa., has submitted what has often been asserted by the democratic party that American-made implements are sold to foreigners cheaper than they are sold to our own farmers. He eays, in answering the questions submitted to him as to Be Sure II! you have made up your mind to buy Hood's Sarsaparilla do not be Induced to taka any other. A Boston lady, whoso example is woithy Imitation, tells her experience below M In one store whero I went to buy Hood's Sarsaparille tho clerk tried to Induce me buy their own instead of Hood's; he told me their's would last longer; that I might take it on tea To Get days' trial; that if I did not like it I need not pay anything, etc. But ho could not prevail on me to change. I told him I had taken Hood's Sarsaparilla, knew what it was, was satisfied with it, and did not want any other. When I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla I was feeling real miserable with dyspepsia, f :.d so weak that at times I could hardly Hood' s

stand. I looked like a person in consump tion. Hood's Sarsaparilla did me so much good that I wonder at myself sometimes, and my friends frequently speak of It." Mka, Ella. A.

Gef rid of it, if yon have Catarrh. Don't merely relieve it for a time with poisonous, irritating snuffs and strong caustic solutions. While you m m to 1 petting help, you may be petting harm. Stopped in thu wey, it's usually only driven to the lungs. ou're worse off, than ever. But you can get rid of it completely, with Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. That's been proved over and over again, in thousands of tho most hopeless cases. By its mild, soothing, cleansing and healing properties, Catarrh in tbfl'llead and all Catarrhal alleotions are perfectly and permantly cured. Some physicians will tell you that Catarrh can't be cured. They mean that Uiei can't cure it. Dr. image's Remedy can. And to prove that they believe it, the proprietors of this medicine will pay JöOO for an incurable case of Catarrh. They don't see one often, but they'll pay the money when they do. how this was done: 'We receive the prices current in the markets we sell. "We cannot get more and could net be expected to take less.' "If it is true, as Mr. Farquhar asserts, that implements made here are sold for less to foreign iarmers than to our own farmers, does it not demonstrate that our manufacturers of implements are not in need of protection. I believe that all raw material should also go on the free list. If cur manufacturers of implements are now competing with foreign made implements under our present tariff laws if they had free raw material they could supply our own people with implements much cheaper and capture the markets of the world in the implement trade." In regard to the resolution of Mr. Fithian, Mr. Watson of the people's party said: "I think that it is a proposition that will have the support of the people's party representatives if it is reported from the committee. It eeems one way within the reach of congress to afford the farmer partial relief and we would naturally be in favor of the free list, being as far as possible extended to all articles except luxuries. For that reason we would favor this proposition." Chairman Springer of tho ways and means committee was not prepared to eay that the cominitteo would receive favorably Mr. Fithian's resolution as an independent proposition. "The revision of the metal and lumber schedule," eaid he, ''is involved in dealing with tbe rates on farm implements, as iron and lumber are the materials from which farm implements are manufactured. If lumber and the raw material from which iron and Fteel are made aro put on the free list there ought to be a large reduction in the duties on farm implements. It would not do, however, to put finished products on the free lint and leave the raw material ptill subject to a tax. This would pimply drive tho manufacturers of such products out of the country." ABDUCTED BY INDIANS. Terrible Fate of a Sixteen-Year-Old Girl. Fkescott, A. T., Feb. b Further information received today from Verde valley in regard to the alleged abduction of Alice Packard, a eixteen-year-oldgirlby two Indians, confirms the report received yesterday. At the ranch bouee, where the Indians stopped with their captive, there was no one at home except a half-witted boy, and he did not tell the btory until three days after tho occurrence. While his story was not believed at first, the neighbors made an investigation and discovered moccasin tracks together with tracks made by the giri's ßhoes. It is now thought that the Indians were Navajoa and Apaches, and, as they had three days' start of the pursuers, there is little hope of overtaking the girl alive. The Indians are probably now back on the reservation and it is feared the girl is dead. Forty armed men are scouring the country in every direction. At the time of her abduction the girl was on her way to her uncle, and her parents, supposing her to have arrived there, did not know of her terrible fate until several days after. THE MAILBOX ROBBERS. One of Them Convicted of Forgery at Denver. Denver, Feb. 6. Klmer Beck, alias J. K. Stratton, was convicted in tho criminal court here today of having forged a twelve-thousand-dollar check. Stratton is one of the famous gang of street letter box robbers who have operated in nearly every city in the United States, and who were arrested at Atlanta, (ia., in October last. Stratton escaped from jail at Chattanooga and came West. Thomas C. Iioalen. another of the gang, escaped from the Nashville jail and is tili at large. Harry Armstrong and Charles Hubbard, the rest of the gang, are in jail, the former at Indianapolis and the latter at St. Louis, awaiting trial. Stratton has four more charges of forgery and burglary against him, and by the time he gets through he will have time enough to serve to take up the balance of his life. He is also wanted in the Last. TRAMPS ON THE ft AM PAGE. Battle "With Trainmen "Wreck Caused, by Misplaced Switches. Sax Francisco, Feb. 4. Conductor Trethway and three brakemen of an eastbound freight on the Southern Facific were attacked at Colima yesterday by five tramps whom they put off the train.

FOR CARRYING ON THE WAR. t

MR. MILLS DECLARES HIS POSITION ON THE TARIFF At a Dinner Given by th Reform Club at New York II Ia Heady to Follow tho Flag of Fair Trade o Matter Who Carrie It or Where It Goe Other Political Now. New Yoek, Feb. 4. A dinner was given to night at the Keform club to Koger Q. Mills by President Emory Andereon and Thomas G. Shearman, ex-Secretary Charles S. Fairchiid, Jrrancis L. tptson, Congressman A. P. Fitch, Everett P. "Wheeler, Louis B. Windmiller and other well known Cleveland democrats. Mr. Mills was tbe speaker of the evening and for the first time indicated in a public speech the line of action to be followed by himself and friends in the present congress regarding the tariff. His first words were in reference to the check which tariff reform had received in the house of its friends at a time when to waver is dangerous. Iledeciared bis intention to oppose the proposed half-way and stand-still measures that some democratic leaders advocated, lie scouted the idea of goin? back to the tariff of 18S3 and accepting that as a final settlement, lie said that the democrats had been fighting that tariff for thirty years, and he was for carrying on the war eternal, uncompromising war. At the close of his speech Mr. Mills said: "I follow wherever the flag points to fair trade; I will follow wherever the flasr goes, no matter who carries it, and I will fight wherever the battle is pitched." PREPARED FOR TROUBLff. Aruii and Ammunition for the Louisiana Democrats. New Orleans, Feb. 5. The steamship El Paso arrived yesterday from 'ew York, her cargo including forty cases of Winchester rifles and fourteen boxes of cartridges addressed to "V. A. Crandall, Chairman Democratic Campaign Committee, New Orleans, La." In an interview concerning these arms Col. Crandall says: "Yes, it is a fact that these arms have come to New Orleans addressed to mo as the chairman of the democratic executive committee. There has been absolutely no attempt made to conceal their shipment, and there is likewise no effort being made by us to disguiso why the arms have been secured. We are providing ourselves with them simply to protect ourst-lves against any scheme, armed or otherwise, to deny us a free ballot and a fair count in the coming election. Sinco the nominating convention at Batou Kouge, we have been met on all sides with statements from the friends and eupportera of Mr. Foster that it was war to the knife and knife t the hilt, and that the machinery in the hands of the existing state administration was to be u:ed in counting in the Foster ticket and in counting out the McEnery ticket, lielieving. therefore that the state militia and the election machinery under the control of the present state administration are to be employed in frustrating, if necessary, a free expression of the public will, wo determined, on the principal that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, to take such means as would protect us from an illegal and unwarranted interference with our rights under the law. As I sail before, , we are not endeavoring to conceal anything whatever. The arms have been openly shipped and there will be auother consisrument shortly, of which our friends may take notica if they desire. There is no intention on the part of the regular democrats to precipitate trouble. STOPPED BY THREE BULLETS. Man Shoots His Mistress Who Had Deserted Him. Chicago, Feb. G. Michael McGuire, a St. Louis restaurant keeper, toDight shot and fatally wounded his mistress, Lizzie Massangale, who had abandoned him for an advertising agent named Frank McLain, and had lied to this city. The girl is a handsome brunette, formerly a waitress in McGuire's restuarant. She received a teleerram that McGuire was on her trail and secreted herself, but tho restaurantkeeper found McLain and intimidated him into showing the way to her "hiding place. McGuire attempted to force the girl to go with him, and she, trying to rush away, was stopped with three bullets, one of which struck her in the forehead. It is said that in St. Louis, McGuire, shortly after he had become intimate with her, began drinking heavily and treated her with great cruelty, but that for a time she protected herself by a plan that soon lost its force. He had told her in a moment of confidence that after the Adams express robbery he harbored two of the thieves in a dive in St. Ix)uis. Thereafter when threatened with violence at his hands she would say, "I have it in my power to send jou to the penitentiary." The result was a mortal dread on his part lest she expose him. According to the woman's statement McUuire harbored three of the men implicated in the Adams express robbery from the time they committed the deed for three weeks following. The men were Sly, lledspath, alias Woods, and some other one whose name she said she conld not remember. McLain declares that at the muzzle of a revolver he was forced into a cab by McGuire and made to show the way to the restaurant. He claims that he did not think McGuire intended to kill the girl. McGuire was etill at large at midnight. THE NEW YORK CONVENTION. Address Inaued Opposing the Early Date Set for It. New York, Feb. C. The following has been issued by a committee of members of the democratic party who are oppo-ed to the calling of a party convention in February ; The state committee has called its convention for Feb. 22. for the manifest purpose of forestalling public opinion and of influencing the political action of other states by an apparent unanimous delegation of New York in favor of the preferred candidate of a majority of the committee. This action of the state committee we have opposed and shall continue to oppose to the end that all democratic electors of the state shall have full opportunity to be represented. The notice concludes as follows: In ear judgment you should fight at the primaries to eleot delegates who regard tbe "snap" convention as detrimental t the true interests of the party and who in taking their seats will move that the convention dissolre without taking any action at all. Above all we oounsel constant and earnest devotion to the great issues which carried the party to victory in 190, and absolute loyalty to the candidate who shall be declared by the national convention of the party to be the best and truest representative of those principles. The peon'e are happy because they can buy Salvation Oil for 25 cents. The only sure method to cure an obstinate cough ose Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. 2ö cents.
