Mr. Carlisle told the committee that he had drawn a proposed schedule for the committee while he was at one of the meetings of the democratic members, but that it was not adopted. In doing this he said he acted in an advisory capacity, and gave the committee facts und data such as they asked for. and which, as the secretary of the treasury, they would

A l-ater Account. I'rntl.o. Col.. May .11. The cloud-bur-1 which last night sent a vast torrent of water down the valley and into this city, caused many deaths and rendered widespread destruction. The work

of rescue had just begun to-day. when a recurrence of the Hood caused a suspension of the work, and it is feared to-night that many bodies which were washed away and under debris will never be recovered. The list of the dead and missing, compiled shortly bofore midnight, is as follows:

PKAI). Dave Uafferty. steel worker, .V years, single; body at morgue. Joseph Coopa, smelter employe, '.13 years, married: body at morgue. One body reported one mile above town and another two miles Inflow; not yet recovered.

Prof. Alger, of the bureau of ordnance, testified as to the part he had taken in the investigation ordered by Secretary Herbert. He reviewed generally the work of the

board nractically the same matters

covered by the testimony of Capt, Sampson, also a member of the board. Ueplvinir to a question by Mr. Dolli-

ver he said that it was impossible to sav from a physical test what a plate

would do under a ballistic test. He was of the opinion that the tests made bv the investitratinir board had abso

lutely established the charges made.

The second charge made was that the

frauds extended over a longer period of time and were more extensive than

at HrA supposed. He was satislied

from the tests made by the board that

this was true. They probably existed

from the beginning of themanufacturc

of plates by the Carnegie to.

Prof. Alger expressed the opinion

that there were probably plates among

those accepted that would not pass the

ballistic test. He reached tins conclu

sioti from the careless manner in which

the plates were made, and from the re

treatment of plates selected lor nai

PROTECTION EXPENSES.

Trut nnd .Monopoll On I'atteiieil by thi

McKinley Tu r I IT. How much may bo collected by the

proteeteil tariff ring of manufacturers, und how much actually is collected, are two different question. One trust

will collect all Iti protection, another trust w ill collect only one-half, or perhaps only one-quarter. The amount collectc'il'dependa upon the number of

peoplo In tho trust, ami now thor

oughly they hang together. cry

often a member, to make a fortune at

once, will brealc all ins agreements,

sell under the trust price and the trust will be broken and have to reorganize, 1'or example, the sugar trust collects the whole amount of its protection. The salt trust collected tho whole amount until it broke. Then it reformed, and now it is collecting about Ü0 per cent. The woolen men have altogether about twenty private selling agreements, or trusts. In some of these trusts, thoy collect nil their protection, and in others only 10 per cent. The collection of the protection is a matter of organization. In all tho United States there are about l.r,000 protected mill-owners, who arc organized into 4,"i0 to -100

private trusts. The par value of their

protection before tho McKinley bill went into effect was8t.fl','O,O0O,00O year

ly. That was tho aniountthatthc.se

trusts were authorized by law to collect from the people in taxes annually if thoy could. The amount that they did collect from the peoplo in the year ISM was very carefully estimated. Tho inquiry took many months, and the lowest possible figure that represented their actual collection of taxes was SflSO.000,000. The McKinley bill raised the par value of their protection, in other words, the amount of tnxes that they were authorized to levy upon the people and compel them to pay yearly, from Sl,y-.O,00O,OO0 to Sl,Wl),000,OQO. How much they collect, how much they pocket and how much tho people pay is, as Mr. Prick says, tho business of nobody but those who collect tho money. In 1S00 the people paid at tho custom

house S'J.000,000 in taxes that went into the federal treasury at Washington, and was returned to them in tho form of services rendered. That samo year they paid to -150 trusts i3SO,O00,00O taxes, not one cent of which was returned to thorn in tho form of any service whatever. Tho tnriff taxes paid by the peoplo for 1S0O exceeded S.iu'.'.OOO,000, of which one-quarter was fur the

public good, and three-quarters of which was bald and naked robbery.

l'liat the treasury got SCtW.OOO.OOO was

fortunate, for tho McKinley bill put a stop to such a large proportion com

ing into the treasury. lulu it increased tho potential tax on the people, it decreased the amount they paid

to tho government, and increased tno amount thoy paid to the trusts.

For the benefit of four men alone,

for example, tho McKinley bill added SJ to the previous duties on every gun costing 81-. IN'ot a cent of this duty would go into tho treasury, for this

ninde the duty on foreign guns 100 per cent., and barred them out. A man

who wanted r. SI- shotgun had to buy

from one of the four American makers

and pay SIS W moro than it was

worth. Protection gave him moro work. Ho had to work overtime to cam this extra SO. Hut ho was work

ing fot the gun, and ho had to pay nine days' wages for it under protec

tion, against six days' wages without.

The four gnnmakcrs took from him

three days' labor, or gave him three days' iMrn labor, us you like. Tho object of tho McKinley bill was to increase the tariff taxes levied upon

the people, but decrease tho amount they paid to tho treasury, and increase

tho amount thoy paid to the trusts,

All this was done by the manner in

which the taxes wero levied. It was not done through tho amount or tho

percentage

Tho McKinley tariff was lower than that which it succeeded. It might have

been the lowest of low tariffs; it might

not have turaed any money into tho treasury, and yet it might have boon

of oven moro benefit than it was to the

Had they not htopped tc construe this announcement it mighl have been accepted as asserting au honest desire to still further enlighten themselves and the nation on the subjeut under consideration. They would have at least avoided confession of a purpose involving tho direst disaster that legislative treason could at this thnu inflict upon the peoplo of tho United .States. Thoy boldly avow tho adoption of dilatory tactics as a nieaiii cf killing tho measure for which every, material Interest of tho country is appealing as the one means of averting impending ruin. In this cold-blooded avowal there is a depth of treachery, a contempt for popularrights.a cruelty toward suffering Immunity, a wanton sacrifice of the moans to restore prosperity, such as has no parallel iu tho annals of civilized government. Tho shallow pretense of "reasonable debate" is worthy of men who thus hold party superior

to country, and for tho attainment ot political ends will go to a length that

imperils our national existence, xnoro is not a ray of light that they can throw upoii thc question under consideration. Thero is no point of view from which it has not been approached, no argument which has not been advanced times without number and for its full weight. Yet these men who hold in trust tho highest interests of tho people deliberately propose to extend the dreary wasto of talk and drivel until tho bill is killed, though the country share the same fate. If they can, prevent it there will be. no longer sessions nor will they discommode themselves by meeting at night. Their policy is not to hasten legislation, but to prevent it. With the demands of tho people in their cars and a scene of universal disaster about them, from which there is no escape, save through tho deliverance of remedial legislation, they assume the part of Xero. as he watched tho contlagratlon of Homo. Wedded to the idols of protection, intrenched behind tho wealth of combines, trusts and monopolies, they aro deaf to the popular appeal and sacrifice patriotism to the same monstrous iniauitv which has

brought calamity upon a free peoplo. Their mendacity is that of tho system thev represent. Their cruelty is that

which has legalized robbery and exacted tribute from masses to fatten tno coffers of favored beneficiaries. It is difficult for a free people, vested, with the sacred right of self-govern

ment, to tolerate such a conspiracy as

this. In times of general prosperity, with the people employed and com

fortable, a line of policy inspired by political consideration, might bo ne-

quiesced in, though not approved of.

Conditions do not permit of sucn an acceptance of tho situation at this

time. Jlusmess is stagnant, liiotisands are out of employment. Capital wants to know tho legal restrictions under which it must operate before it will come out of retirement. Thero is a spirit of unrest that should bo soothed, not aggravated. There is a just and reasonable appeal mado by the people to their representatives, which should bo speedily granted, not scorned. The republican senators have assumed a responsibility that only the insolence of protection would daro to suggest. Detroit Free Press. POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Tariff reform will como forward again and will keep on coming forward until tho peoplo forco their senators and representatives to obey their will and dissociate this government for

ever from tho Idea that it is a part of a government's functions to "protect" one bet of Americans at tho expense of another st of Americans. Our government is founded upon tho idea that all men are ecpuil before the laws, and that tho laws shall bear emially upon all. To legislate so that one set of Americans must pay another set of Americans two prices for all that they buy in order that tho latter sot of Americans may mako fortunes is a total negation of this Idea, and Is tyranny pure and sluiplo. Wo repeat that tiio corrupt senators may beat tariff reform in this congress, hut il will coiuo back and will never cease its cry ulitil that cry is heeded. lt'oh mond Tlmca-
