It Is clear that It was not designed for temporary relief merely, but If once enacted will M.iml, like every other portion of the t ill, until repealed. The plain tss.io which we are to meet is Indirect versus direct taxation Ho proceeded to declaro his belief that tho complete substitution of lnternul. direct or Income taxe- for tariff taxes would prove utterly ruiaous to the business Interests of this country under existing conditions abroad, and that a partial sus dilution at this time would bo proixirtlonately disastrous 'This Mil." he .-aid. proposed a suicidal policy when it -eeks by Its extreme provisions to discard numerous reasonable tariff duties, and thereby imperil many Industries and .rente n detlclency In necessary revenues, simply for the purpose of affording an opportunity or excuse for the sub.-tttuilon of an income tax. The substitution of internal or indirect taxes for customhouse taxation, means the reduction of the waxes of American workmen to the Kuropean standards. It means the degradation of American labor; It mean- the depri vation to our workmen of the comforts and luxuries of life to which they have teen accustomed. IVny and disguiso It as wo may. no other resu.t is possible under existing Kuro p"n conditions -Let me not In- misunderstood." hendded.

For mv own Part, as a democrat. I prefer In direct taxation and tariff reform at-ove direct taxes and tariff extinct ion. I prefer taxing foreign products rather than taxing homo products. I follow Jefferson tn regarding even the species it Indirect taxation on homo products by internal revenue war taxes as not gocd to tie extended and thu first to bo rid of when thoir ned is past Speaking ot tho european advisors ot mo United Mates, he made some pungent re marks. " The non-migrating European feels a parental superiority and duty toward us. European professors unnounce to American professors, who Bul lish and believe it. the birth of a braml-new political economy for universal application From the midst of their armed ramps, between tho Danube and the Khlne. the professors with their books, thp socialists with their schemes, th" anarchists with their bombs, are all instructing the people or the United States In the orgaalzatlon of society, the doctrines of democracy and principles of taxation. Little squads of anarchists, communists ntul socialists t ross the ocean and would have us learn or taeta. i wonder ir their preaching can Und ears in th Whito House. An editor residing in Europe, of Hungarian birth, tn his Now York newspaper ndvocates an income tax designed ultimately to put upon nine slates between ( ae Cod an.l tne Missis sippi 77 ir cent., nnd ujion New ork alono 30 per cent, oi tne expenses oi lue leuvrai Kovvru ment. If McKlnloylsm Is socialism for the benefit of tho rich, and incotne-tnxing Is socialism for the benefit of the poor, no true American democrat will look to the hair of the dog to cure his idte. American democrats will reject socialIsm of both kinds." Hrtetly referring to the sugar tax. ho said: The sentit- finance committee. In their effort to modify the house bill so as to realize a sutUctoncy rather than a deficiency of revenue, selected sugar as one of such articles deemed proper for tariff taxation. and pro tided for a mo.lor-.te duty thereon. I do not question the wisdom of their present action. Hut sbch conclusion should have t een followed bv ati elimination of the Income tax. rendered donVly necessary t y tho Imposition of a sugar duty." He vigorously defended the wealthy men of New York frcm the charges of -narrow and corroding selfishness, brutal dictation and Insolence," etc , which, ha said, had been hurled anntuat them by the -senator from Indiana Mr. Voorhtes. and said: "I have yet to lenru that poverty Is a cardinal v'.rtuu and that .vunltli Is an abominable rrtme. All cln-ses have th-ir rights, ami one cla-s must net no permitted to encroach upon the other. 1 1i demagogue who seeks to stir up class prejtnh.es ami class reseniments In order to wi i t.. gratitude or tho applause of the nitschl-vous anil the unthinking who aro .ssontlallv hts dupes, deserves niy execrations at the hands of all rightmlmbst men. ' In conclusion he s.ilil: T Maml ready to support any reasonable measure for tariff reform framed within the lines and based upon th- principles which I have hero partially Indicated. Mr. 1'resl.ient. tills Is an Important crisis in tho historv of the democratic party. The failure of tariff revision at this time means the de feat, the oemorallzation. if not the division and annihilation of our party. Moreover. It means as we believe, Injury to tho liest Interests of the country- Let those who Insist upon Injecting Into this bill this odious and undemo cratic feature of an Iniomc tax-a relic of war legislation pause and reflect upon the possible lOtiserjuences of their unwarrantable demands They should realize that It means tho bus of the tontrol of this senate, now nearly equally divided be tween the two great parties; It means tho loss of the electoral votcsof New ork New Jersey, t'onnectlcut.atid probably every northern stat and finally. It means the loss of the next presi detn-v a'id all that that Implies.

A VERY TAME AFFAIR,

WAMtixtnoN, April HI. The pnv eeihire of presidontinl proelunmtions is altogether a very tame ntVnlr compared with the importance) which is uttaehud to it by those who are unfamiliar with the ways of government. Tin? prevailing idea that the president proclaims something, tn the generallv accepted sottse of the word, i wholly erroneous, especially in the case of such :t proclamation tis that relating to Hehring sea. In many foreign conntries where olllcial gazettes are published proclamations are literally proclaimed; but in the Tinted States, If it were not for the wide publicity given to presidential action, it i exceedingly doubtful if more than forty people would have ever heard of the ritKStllKXT'.S WAltNINO TO THU SEAL ro.vt'ituns. When congress passed the bill placing the decision of the lirts tribunal on the I'nited States statutes, and it became a law by presidential signature, it was binding on every American citizen from that moment The pleading of ignorance of that statute would probably have been considered worthless in any court iu the land. Some of the ablest adviser.s of the government held that no further action was necessary to insure the punishment of anyone found violating its provisions. There were others, however, who contended that additional security was to be found in a formal proclamation of the new law. as IXTKItNATIONAI. OTHSTIOXS WKKK IJJvoi.vin; and in order to forestall any possible Haw that might be raised to cau.se future trouble the proclamation was decided upon. Then one of the great red tape machines of the government was called into action. There is a printing establishment in the unknown retrions of the state department where some of the best typographical work in America is produced. Secret documents are primed there surrounded by more precautions; than are observed in making bank notes. To this establishment was tnlten a c.vr.KrrM.v-coiiPAni:!) typk-wkittkx rorv of the presidential proelamation.whieh consisted of an ordinary print of the act of congress with a couple of perfunctionary phrases "Proclaiming" its provisions nnd stating that the resident had hereuuto set his hand and caused the seal of the United States to be atHxed. all of which was "done at the city of Washington, the ninth day of April, iu the vear of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninetyfour and of the independence of the United States of America the one hundred and eighteenth," with an abnormal number of capital letters, punctuation marks, and varieties of types. Proofs were COltUKCTKIl A DOZr.X TI.MKS by a dozen different men and women, who, nevertheless, overlooked at least seven typographical errors, and. finally, several hundred copies were printed upon the heaviest blue bond paper. A few of these were Hied away in the archives of the state department, while the remainder were delivered to tho secretary of the navy to be distributed among the commanders, of the twelve vessels which are to patrol the forbidden waters, and by them handed to the captains of vessels in otlicially WAltNINO Til KM NOT TO TAKK SEALS. No one will ever see the actual proclamations, or be officially aware of their existence, except these warned skippers and the few otlicers who handle the documents before their de livery. Probably less than 100 copies will be used altogether. Xone of them will be posted in the customhouse or along the wharves of the Pacific coast, where the interested persons could see them; in fact, the utmost secrecy lias been and will be maintained regarding them. orriciAi. m;Tici:xci Although the act was signed on April G, and the proclamation was sealed and "done" on April l, it was not until April 10 that the officials of the White House and slate department could be induced to confess that .such a thing as a proclamation existed, and even then mi interest in securing its wide publicity was manifested. NARROW ESCAPE. A Cur Loud of Dynamite Wrecked At Memphis, Telin. Memphis Term., April 1 This citj narrowly escaped a terrible catastrophe Wednesday afternoon about I o'clock by the wrecking of a car loaded with dynamite on the mer front An engine nnd three cars of the Newport News ,t Mississippi Valley road ran into an opt-r. switch and were derailed. One of the cars contained 110,000 pounds of Mick dynamite and was broken all to pieces. So complete was the wreck that the sills of the dynamite car were broken and the trucks knocked off, the ear itself being thrown over on its hide against the track. The dynamite was packed in 50-pound boxes, many of which were broken open by the shock. lint bv a miracle ati explosion was averted.

Fifteen years ago the extent of the infant en terprise was measured by a daily con sumption of but 500 bushels of corn. l rotn this small beginning it has at tained gigantic proportions, which have at times involved a capacity of over 'JO.OOO bushels of corn in this city alone, and although the westward movement of part of the trade necessi tated the transfer of a portion of its capacity to western Heids, yet the Uuffalo works have been operated continuously at a capacity never less than 5,000 bushels of corn daily. The annual product of the works, including grape sugar, glucose, scraps and animal products, reached 150,000,000 pounds.
