Mck. iTbe following statement
from Harris, senator from Tennessee,
is about as Intelligible as any that
have been given out : .
"I Lad several interviews with
the president during the pendency of
the tariff bill In the senate. I have
understood him throughout the sen
ate's dlscuittlon of tho bill to prefer a
strictly revenue tariff measure, such
as I would have t referred mvaelf.
When tho bill came to the senate the
democrats of the finance committee
cotMldered it, and prVmred sundry
amendment iu the line of reducing
ratHi of taxation, but wheu we had
prepared our amendments to the bill
we asccriaineu mm absolute cer
tainty that neither 'the bill as it
came from the house nor as the
flnancecominittee proposed to amend
it could possibly pass the senate.
MVe, the democratic members of
the committee, set about to ascertain
Die ultimatum of the four or five
democra tic senators who refused to
take the bill as it came from the
senate committee, and having learned
from those senators their smallest
concesaions which, would secure their
support of the bill, and alw having
ascertained that when the conces
sions were made the bill in that
form would be a vat improvement
upon the McKiuley law, we decided
that, as objectionable as were these
concessions, even with them, the
(tending, bill greatly reduced tariff
taxation, and that we had butter
accept ithe bill with all its objection.
able features than to periaHunte the
MrKiniey law with its much higher
rates and multiform obnoxious
lea tores.
"The democrats of the finance
committee reported tliexe conceNrilons
to the deiiKx-ratic senators in caucus,
and the reason why they had lieen
made, all the llouiocrats Mug pres
ent except Mills ami Irhy, and with
the exception of Hill, the democratic
senators unanimously agreed - to
make the concessions and tstss the
bill. The j concessions thus agreed
upon were incorporated into tlio bill,
and in that form it Hewed the senate.
1 had two Interviews with the presi
tieni since tnene concessions were
agreed to, and before the passage of
last UuVwndtuiexvJej
bill hud pushed and Jiaul goun to the
conference committee of both houses,
and my most distinct understanding
was that, while the president re
gretted, even as I regret, the neces
sity for making such concessions, he
thought it wine to pass the bill, and
so advised, inasmuch as It materially
reduced the rates of tariff taxation
imposed by the existing law." .
Referring to Cutlery and Blanch
srd, w ho are demanding further con
eewlons and threatening to defeat the
bill If they are not granted, Senator
Harris said, emphatically: "They
have secured their utmost limit. If
they MrslNt In their demands they
will be the sufferers. While they
might delay the final passage of the
bill thereby, they can not pursue this
course, that certainly will lone their
differential sugar bounty altogether.
The finance committee will now fight
It out on this line if the present ses
sion is prolonged indefinitely."

would live very happily, and from
their very nature wisild, in ts-ing
self-governed, be little governed and
well governed. But unfortunately
the law has to ileal with all clan
of men. America esi-cclally hna
been recwiving the outpourings of

a strong feeling that the class of

The law throughout It briMil on
the doctrine of expediency. A coun
try governetl by Htrictly loglml luw-w
would be far from practicable, at
least under prcneut condition. The
object of government Ix-ing the pre
servation of order and cace and the
prevention of crime, the law ahould
secure tlierw euils by the simplest
and most efficacious means po-wihle.
Thus in a large city, if a given pro
cession of innocently disposed people
would be the occasion of a riot, no
complaint could be made if the
police took the practical though il
logical step of prohibiting the strade
and preventing the riot.
The great strike w hich has occu
pied so much of the attention of the
country duriug the last few weeks is
apparently on the ioint of colluise
and illustrates the above points.
The federal troops have gono Into
action and seem to have done gissl
work at the expense of very few-
lives. A vast amount of projs'rty
has been destroyed, striking work
men have lot an immense sum in
wages, aud Cook county, Illinois,
together with other railroad centers
where rioting has taken place, will
probably be burdened with a very
heavy tax bill for tho payment of
damage to property incidental to
thit. rioting,' 'Incalculably harm, has

States will have to foot the bill. It
Is easy enough to criticise the use of
tho federal troops in tho matter, it is
natural for local militia to object to
fight their own noiglilmr and
friends, it is well for the upholders of
the strong arm of the law to exult in
the thought uf the suppression of
mob violence by military force, hut
a question of the utmost difficulty of
practical olitics lies buck of it all.
How are strike with incidental riots
and destruction of property and Idle
ness of thou.tn I of workmen to be
prevented In future.
The evils of a strong government
for the repression of riots on the one
side are confront l with the evils of
weak government unable to cos
wlth tho evil-disposed classes. In
the United Htates, by general con
census, the federal power is recog
nized as the strongest element, one
to he called on as seldom as possible,
and whose direct Intervention is
looked on with disfavor and as an
unfortunate necessity. The individ
ual states are less powerful and ls
arbitrary in their governmental ac
tions. Both have united in coping
with the rioters. But until strikes
of the magnitude and evil effects of
the present one are made lniosiblc,
until the paralysis of a country's
business by enforced idleness of
workmen supplemented by rioting
becomes a matter of history never to
be repeated, the laws of the country
will not be perfet.
We may object to being too much
governed, but a comparative desst-
ism is preferable to a condition of
things involving the calling out of
soldiery to cope directly with what
should be a peaceful tMipulaee of
workmen. War with a foreign
power Is held to be a not unmi xed
evil; civil war, and fighting with
mobs, are bail In every sense In
cause, In prosecution and In results.
Today millions of tieople are suf-
fering from .the strike. Its conse
quences may last for ;many months
to come. Pittsburg is still paying
for the damages done during the
riots of ls"7. Expediency calls for
the prevention of such occurrences,
and an evasion of the strict laws of
logic may be excused if such preven
tlon can be brought about by a law,
even If it be one of expediency only.
