NEW TARIFF GOES INTO EFFECT. Washington, Aug. 28.—At 12 o'clock Monday night the McKinley tariff law, which had been in operation since October 30, 1890, practically four years, died on the statute books and the new democratic tariff bill passed by the Fifty-third congress became a law without the signature of President Cleveland. “Executive Mansion, Washington, Aug 27 —Hon. T. C. Catchings My Dear Sir: Since the conversation I hail with you anil Mr. Clark, of Alabama, a few days ago in regard to my action upon the turlU bill now before me I have given the subject further nnd most serious consideration. The result is, I am more settled than ever in the determination to allow the bill to become a law without my .signature. “When the formulation of legislation which it was hoped would embody democratic ideas of tariff reform was lately entered upon by this congress nothing was further from my antiefputton than a result which I could not promptly and enthusiastically Indorse. It Is therefore with a feeling of tho utmost disappointment that I submit to a denial of this privilege "I do not claim to be better than the masses of my party nor do I wish to avoid any responsibility which on account of the passage of this law I ought to bear as a member of the demooratla organization; neither will I permit myself to be separated from my party to such an extent as might be Implied by my veto of tariff legislation, which, though disappointing, is still chargeable to democratic effort. But there are provisions in this bill which are not in line with honest tariff reform and It contains inconsistencies and crudities which ought not to appear in tariff laws or laws of any kind. “Besides, there were, us you and I well know, incidents accompanying tho passage of the bill through congress which made every sincere reformer unhappy, while Influences surrounded it in its latter stages and interfered with its final construction which ought not to be recognized or tolerated in democratic tariff reform councils. "And yet. notwithstanding all Us vicissitudes ami all the bud treatment It has received at the hamls of its pretended friends, it presents a vast Improvement to existing conditions. It will certainly lighten many tariff burdens that now rest heavily upon tho people. It is not only a barrier against tho return of mad protection, but it furnishes a vantage ground from which must be waged further aggressive operations against protected monopoly and governmental favoritism. “X take my place with the rank and file of the democratic party who believe in tariff reform and w ho know what it is, who refuse to accept the results embodied in the bill at tho close of the war, who are not blinded to the fact that the livery of democratic tariff reform has been stolen uad worn in the service of republican protection, and who have marked the places where the deadly blight of treason has blasted the councils of the brave in their hour of might. "The trusts and combinations—the communism of pelf, whose machinations have prevented us from reaching the success we deserve, should not be forgotten or forgiven. We shall recover from our astonishment at their exhibition of power, and if then the question is forced upon us whether they shall submit to the free legislative will of the people s representatives, or shall dictate the laws which the people must obey, we will accept and settle that issue us one involving the Integrity and safety of American institutions. "1 love the principles of true democracy because they are founded lit pa: lot tain and upofi justice ami fairness toward all interests. 1 am proud of my party organization because it is conservatively sturdy ami persistent lu tho enforcement of its principles. Therefore. 1 do not despair of the efforts made by the house of representatives to supplement the bill already passed by turther legislation and to have engrafted upon it such modifications as will mure nearly meet democratic hopes and aspirations. "1 cun t be mistaken as to the necessity of free raw materials as the foundation of logical and sensible tariff reform. The extent to which thus is recognized lu the legislation already secured is one of its encouraging ami redeeming features, but H is vexatious to recall that w hile free coal and Iron ore have been denied a letter of the secretary of the treasury discloses the fact that both might have been made free by the annual s .rrender of only /ffua.uio of unnecessary revenue. "1 am sure that there Is a common habit of underestimating tho importance of free raw materials in tariff legislation, and of regarding them us only related to concessions to be made to our manufacturers. The truth Is, their Influence is so far-reaching that If disregarded a complete and beneficent scheme of tariff reform cannot be successfully inaugurated. tg •When wegivetoour manufacturers free raw materials we unshackle American enterprise and Ingenuity, and these will open the doors of foreign markets to the reception of our wares amt give opportunity fur the continuous and remunerative employment of American labor. “With materials cheapened by their freedom from tariff charges, the cost of ti.elr product must be correspondingly cheapened. Thereupon justice and fairness to the consumer would demand that the manufacturers lie obliged to submit to such a readjustment and modification of the tariff upon their finished goods us would secure to the people the benefit of the reduced cost of their manufactures and shield the consumer against the exactions of inordinate profits. • it will thus be seen that free raw materials and a just ami fearless regulation and reduction ol the tariff to meet life changed conditions would carry to every humble home in the land the blessings of increased comfort and cheaper living. The millions of our countrymen who have fought bravely and well for tariff reform should be exhorted to continue the struggle, boldly challenging to open warfare ami constantly guarding against treachery and halfheurtedness in their camp. Tariff reform will not be settled until it is honestly and (airly settled In the Interest and to ihu benefit of a patient and long-suffering people. Yours very truly, “tluovEH Cleveland." The placing of the bill upon the statute books ended one of the longest and most remarkable struggles in the parliamentary history of the government. It was practically a year ago that the eomnilutlon of tho new tariff was commenced. The extraordinary session of congress was called August 7. 189:1, for tho purpose of repealing the Sherman silver-purchasing law. Two weeks later the ways and means committee of the house, with Mr. Wilson, of West Y'irglniu. as chairman, was appointed, and almost Immediately the work of framing the democratic tariff-reform measure began Mouths were spent in Its prep.iration, ami It was not reported until after the holidays during the regular session beginning in December. For three weeks It was debated In th" house, passing that body January W. Seventeen bouse democrats voted againstlt. The bill went to tho senate, and. after being considered until March 20. was reported, greatly changed from the house bill. The debate which began In the senate April 2 lasted until July «. when tho bill passed by a vote of 89 to 34. The crisis occurred when tho bill reached conference. On August 13 the house yielded and accepted the senate bill in toto. Two days afterward, Wednesday. August 15. it went to the president, ami .Monday night at the expiration of the constitutional days (Sundays not counted) it became a law without Mr. Cleveland's approval , FOR A NATIONAL PARK. lien. Sickles Wauls the Coverniuent to Acquire 4,000 .Acres at Gettysburg. New York, Aug 1 . 28.—Gen. Daniel E. Sickles has a scheme for the creation of a grand national park which will include the battlefield and other historic points of interest at Gettysburg.

CARNEGIE COMPANY SCORED. Report of Mr. Cummings' Com m it tee on the* Armor-Plate Frauds. Washington, Aug. 25.—Representative Amos J. Cummings, chairman of the house committee on naval affairs, presented to the house the preliminary report upon the investigation of the armor plate and billets furnished to the government by the Carnegie Steel company. The investigation has been in progress for weeks and during its course testimony has been given by the principal officials of the Carnegie company, by workmen and by government officials. The repoi t is a remarkably complete review of the case. The committee finds that charges of fraud have been sustained, scores the company severely, and recommends that fifty-nine suspected plates in use should be tested as the only method of proving their fitness or unfitness. It only finds that the government inspection was negligent, but no charge of dishonesty rests upon the inspectors. Accompanying the’ report was a joint resolution to authorize and direct the secretary of the navy to remove the Monadnock, the monitor Terror, the ships Oregon, Indiana and Massachusetts and the eruiser Monterey certain specified armory-plates and to subject them to the ballistic test at the ludiau Bead proving ground.

The Greatest Medical Discovery

of the Age.

KENNEDY’S

MEDICAL DISCOVERY. DONALD KENNEDY, of ROXBURY, MASS., Has discovered in one of our common pasture weeds a remedv that cures every kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula

down to a common Pimple.

He has tried it in over eleven hundred cases, and never failed except in two cases (both thunder humor). He lias now in his possession over two hundred certificates of its value, all within twenty miles of Boston. Send postal card for book. A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, and a perfect cure is warranted

when the right quantity is taken.

When tlie lungs are affected it causes shooting pains, like needles passing through them; the same with the Liver or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being stopped, and always disappears in a week after taking it. Read the label. If the stomach is foul or bilious ’t will

cause squeamish feelings at first.

No change of diet ever necessary. Eat the best you can get, and enough of it. Dose, one tubiespoonful in water at bed-

time. Sold by all Druggists.
