CLEVELAND TAKES A HAND He Asks the Honae to Bund by tit Original Bill Washihcitok, July 19. Intense Interest waa created by Wllsoii't announcement In tlie House today that lie had a letter fro President Cleveland which the latter bad permitted to be made public. The letter was read amid profound silence: It waa In the president's Vigorous style and was a stir- dug tribute to the Wilson bill, and a direct blow at any surrender to the senate bill In his letter to Wilson, Cleveland says he cannot rtd himself of the feeling the tariff conference will present the best. If not the only hope of true democracy. The bill in tts preseut form, he declares falls far short of the consummation for which the party labored, and "our abandonment of the cause or principles upon which it rests means perfidy or party dishouor," He con' tinues: "It mast be admitted no tariff measure can accord with democraUo principles and promises or bear the genuine democratic badge that does not provide for free raw materials. In these circumstance it may well exoite our wonder that democrats are willing to depart from this most demo oratic of all tariff principles and that the inconsistent absurdity of such a proposed departure should be emphisised by the sug gestion that the wool of the farmer be put on the free list, and the protection of tariO taxation be placed around the iron ore and coal of the corporations and capitalists. How can we face the people after indulging in such outrageous discriminations and vi olations of principles? It is quite appar ent that this question of free raw material does not admit of adjustment on any mid' die grounds, since their subjection to any rate of tariff taxation, great or small, is alike a violation of democratic principle I hope you will not consider it intrusive if I say some thing in relatiqn to another subject, which can hardly fail to be troublesome to the conference.

It will keep democrat io congress men and their populist allies very busy when they return to their constituents for their summer vacation, explaining what they have not done during the past ten months.

I confess to sharing in this feeling and yet it seems to me we ought, if possible, suf ficiently to free ourselves from prejudice to enable us to coolly weigh the considerations which, in formulating tariff legislation, ought to guide onr treatment of sugar as a taxable article. While no tenderness should be entertained for trusts, and while I am decidedly opposed to granting them, under guise of tariff taxation, any opportunity to further their particular methods, I suggest we ought not be driven away from the goo. But much to the surprise of democratic principle and policy which lead himself and everybody else one John I to the taxation of sugar, by the fear qnite C. Arnold, of Pendleton, pocketed the persimmon. The difference is Thorn has been an ardent worker in the ranks of democracy and Arnold has not. likely aggravated that in carrying out this principle and policy we may indirectly and ordinarily encourage a combination of sugar-refining interests. I know in the present conditions this is a delicate subject, and I appreciate the depth and strength of the feeling which its treatment has aroused. I do not believe that we should do evil that good may come, but it seems to me we should not forget our aim in the completion of the tariff, and in taxing sugar for proper purposes and within reasonable bounds, Francs was profoundly moved by the murder of its president, but its ' emotion did not take an impetuous form.'

Those ar strong words, which the president of the United states would not use towards a measure which he expected to approve." Gorman Attacks the President, Wash i kotow , July 3S. When the presi dent's letter to Wilson was taken up in the senate tins morning touching upon the tariff bill, Senator Gorman (dem) of Mary land addressed the senate. He said: "Mr President, the infamous calumnies heaped on the heads of the senate forces from me a plain , unvarnished statement I will make it with malice toward none, but will look my colleagues and the Ameri can people In the eye and tell the truth. In patriotism the democratic senate had gone to work to save the couutry and continue the party in power, when suddenly, in the midst of the stmgglo, came the president's letter. "It was the most uncalled for, most ex traordinary, most unwise communication that ever came from a president of the Unitod States. It placed this body In a po sition where its members must see to it that the dignity and honor of this chamber be preserved. It places me in the position where I must tell the story as it occurred." Gorman then proceeded to detail the manner in which, to meet the objections and secure the support of certain disaffected democrats, the change had been agreed upon. lie stated emphatically that during this work Vest and Jones had frequent con ferences with Secretary Carlisle, and often with Cleveland himself. He drew from his desk and had read an interview with Secretary Carlisle on April SO, in which the secretary gave the same bill his sweeping indorsement. Gorman then led up to one of the most dramatic episodes of the day the summoning of Vest, Jones and Harris as witnesses to his statement that the pres ident approved the senate compromise by making the following remarks: Such waa the declaration of the secre tary of the treasury that the statement from him hail probably a wonderful effect. It softened the bard places with which we met when we came to confer and to act. series of questions to Jones. Ha asked: had ued their Influence to Indues him to "In your interview with the president, interpose In behalf of the senate amend were the subjects of" . menu to the tariff bill.

"One more question," said Vilas. "Did not the president express the hope at all times that coal and iron would be on the free list?" "At all times, but it was the expression of hope that the circumstances would per mit realisation," Gorman next summoned Mr, Harris who left the presiding officer's olialr for the pur pose of tttsliflytng as a witness. Harris stated that in conversation with Clevelund he (Harris) had been led to conclude that the prvsldeut favored the passage of the compromise senate bill, not beoause he ap proved of it, but because it was the best that could be secured. Gorman then resumed. "As I have satd, this is an extraordinary proceeding, for a democrat, elected to the highest place in the government, to traduce the senate of the United States, to blacken the characters of senators who are as hon orable as they dure to be, who are as patri otic as they can ever bo, who have dono a much to serve their party as the men who are now the beiietlolarlos of yuur labor and mine, to taunt and jeer us hoforo the coun try as advocates of trusts, as being guilty ol dishonor and perfidy. It is time to speak The limit of enduranoe has been reached, The senate owes it to itself. "We will not be traduced longer, Mr, president; the farts must come; we have seen how this bill passed the senate; how only it could pass the senate. No man, whether in this or any other place, no mat ter what his position may be, who styles himself a democrat, who believes in his party, ean change materially this measure without defeating it. Who dare take that responsibility f I can imagine no man who will dare do it unless be was consumed with vanity and desired to put his judg ment above that of his fellows, who desires to keep an issue before the people that he might ride into power rather than give con to death at the toot of Poinpey's statue in the Roman senate.

I am not prepared to defend the propriety or wisdom Of the promulgation of this letter at this par ticular time.

I repeat that but for it 1 do not believe we should have ever succeeded in getting together. But it did not stop there. It wa not alone the secretary of the treas ury, who necessarily speaks for the presl dent in matters concerning bis department. The president was not ignorant of what we proposed to do. Nothing was concealed from him. The papers announced on the day following the interview with Mr. Car lisle that the president himself concurred with his great secretary. So we understood, and if it is not true, then forty-tnree sena tors on this side of the chamber have been misled. Every prominent amendment to this bill was as well known to him as to mo, While neither the president nor his secre tary was in love with all the provisions of these amendments, I may say in fairness that there were many of them to which they were opposed, as the senator from Missouri and the senator from Arkansas and the distinguished chairman of the fin ance committee were opposed to many of them. As it was a compromise measure, was not satisfactory to a single, solitary human being on this side of the chamber in all its details; but I assert, as a whole, the structure as presented and passed by the gentlemen was satisfactory and was recog nized as the best possible bill that could As Gorman made reference to the presi dent there was a commotion in the galler ies, which compelled the presiding officer to impose constant cautions against further demonstration. Gorman next turned his attention to Senator Hill's speech endors ing Cleveland's letter. "That letter," said Gorman, "was a Godsend to the senator from New York. It was the only comfort he had from this administration." (Laugh ter.) as toe laugnter continued, Hul arose. and with good natured deliberation said 'In the last proposition I will say that the senator from Maryland Is entirely correct. Gorman asserted the New York senator had throughout attempted to thwart his party. Never before since the Declaration of Independence had the president of the United States been guilty of such a viola- tun of the spirit of tha constitution as had Cleveland in writing his letter to Chairman Wilson. Gorman hud Blackburn read an extract from Washington's farewell ad dress ubout the encroachment ot the exec utive on the powers of congress as subser- sive of the principles of the republic. He referred to the great political excitement attending the Hayes-Tilden controversey and the concentration of the army in Wash ington. Forms of law averted the catastro- pass through this body, and that from no phe then, and there bad been, he went on, quarter, high or low, neither from the president, through his cabinet, nor by any member of this body, was it ever suggested or intimated that there was any violation of democratic principles in anything we did. Now, Mr. President, this is a very broad rtatement. I call npon the two gen tlemen who have the immediate control of the bill, the senator from Missouri (Vest) and the senator from Arkansas (Jones), and ask them if I have made a statement which vanes a hair's breadth from the troth, and it is due to the senate, it is due to themselves, it is due to me, it is due to the country, that the truth shall be known. Let the people have the truth. I pause for a reply from my friend from Missouri. no further concentration of power since. Conference committees had been free from outside influence. He then said "The liberty cf the senate has been In vaded, but the truth will rule, though a thousand hirelings write us down and tra duce ns. The president had said It would be dlihonorable to tax coal and Iron. The bouse, parrot-like, repeated the cry. Men who set up high standards should come to us with clean hands." He said that the bouse, if it bad been contistent, would have placed all raw ma terials on the free list. He enumerated other raw materials which the house had placed a duty on. He denied that it was either democratic doctrine or in accord with the democratic platform to place coal itis slate ot JUisaiMippi has gone Into the counterfeiting busiuess. At the lust session of the legislature th stale auditor, governor and treasurer were authorized, if they deemed it necessary, to issue treasury warrants iu denominations of $5, The issue was limited to 1200,000. It was the intention to have the warrants pass as money all over the slate. To tide over the financial difficulties the state auditor sent an order to a St. Loui engraving house for 150,000 of the warrants and they were immediately put in circulation in Mississippi. But no sooner was this done than papers were served on the proper authoriliti requiring them to return all warrants together with the diet from which they were made to the United States secret service bureau at Washington on the ground that it was counterfeit ing and therefore was contrary to the lawsot the United citatee. The result will be closely watched. In speaking of the railroads the Eugene Guard says: "Oregon is pay ing exorbitant freight charges fixed ana endorsed by a commission nrao iicauy owned ty me railroads. It is to be hoped that the next legislature will give the people relief from rail road exactions, by the pstsage of maximum freight and fare bill." If we are to have a railroad commis sion at all itjthould be elected by tbs oeople and at the general election in steaa oi oy tne legislature, in our opinion me rauroaa commission as well as the food inspector and fish and game protector should be abol isbed, particularly the two latter. A railroad commission properly constitu. they should not also be allowed to march aide by side with all classes of men to the polls and deposit their preference. It would be no more de grading than the acts participated in at Pullman the other day. There still remains one more thing for women to do along this line. When women de clare themselves ready to shoulder the musket and march to the front against a waring foe the question of woman suffrage will be for all time settled.

Upon the question of free raw materials the president ia right, and you know it. You cannot answer his argu ments. You cannot successfully dispute bis propositions. You cannot doubt hi sincerity and patriotism. You must yield in the end to his views. You cannot stand up against the sentiment of the great dem ocratic masses of the country which will rally around the president in his contest with yon upon this particular branch of the subject. The tiae to yield is now, before there is further humiliation, embarrass ment and discord. "Mr. President, having demonstrated that the true democratic theory of revenue reform requires that free raw materials should be its distinguishing feature, let ns now inquire what is the condition which now confronts ns. The senate bill, which was passed, violates this democratic theory and while it reduces the duties on iron, coal, lead, and some other raw materials, from those imposed under the McKinley Jaw, and in that respect is commendable. it, nevertheless, imposes some duties there on and thereby fails to redeem our pledges, It is not a question of the amount of duties which may be imposed. A question of principle is at stake, and a single penny's duty violates our promises and places us in a false position. Tbe president well says there can be no compromise on a matter of this character, where tbe vital principle is at stake. Tbe house of representatives, fresh from the people, which represents more distinctly and peculiarly than we do the taxing power of the people, repudiates our bill, and a democratic president has emphisised that repudiation, and the condition which con fronts us is one of extreme embarrassment. Shall we surrender to the house, while we can do so honorably, or sball we wait nntil we are driven to ItT In the light of the letter of tbe president tbe house cannot honorably retreat.
