TiiE WAYS AND MEANS
1'ho ways and means committee ought to
begin work at once. It is an aMo and it
ought to be an effective body. It is cuarir
r.1 with the dutvof formulating a tariff
bill that thall keep the pledges of the de-n
ocratic paity.
The task canjue entered upon without
Mr. The material is at hand. The
eiperience and studies of most of tho dent
ocratic members will enable tltfra to pro
ceed without waiting for advice and infor
mation from the outside, it has been the
recent custom of ways and means commit
tees in preparing tiiriff legislation to invite
the co-operation of manufacturers, im
porters, merchants and wgo earners in
composing the schedules relating both to
special and general industries. Two-thirds
at least of the testimony given by these
witnesses has been useless, so far as the
object of the committee was concerned.
Most of it has been intended m?rely for
campaign material in aid of the cause of
protection. The arguments and assertions
of protected monopolists have been printed
day after day in the newspapers as the
proceedings of the committee.
The present ways and means committee
should not follow this evil example." It
does not need to listen once again to the
oft repealed tale. Not only has the essen
tial material for its work been gathered
but its chairman is more familiar with it
than any man in the country except, per
haps, Secretary Carlisle. Some of his
associates helped in the framing of the
Mills bill and sat by while the manufac
turers built the McKinley bill. The com
mittee can secure all the aid it needs and
the information it lacks in the treasury
department. It can and Bhould make a
completo bill and be ready to report it at
the regular session of congress.
The work of the extra isssio n is the
repcaPotjhe Sherman law. That should
not be complicated with thcltariff question
or anything else. If the ways and means
c.ommittee'goes'tjuietlj' to work framing a
hill (0 reduce taxes and relieve consumers
of unnecessary burdens it; will not only
expediate the reform it is commissioned to
carry out, but will spare the business of the
country an additional disturbance which it
can hardly standjunder existing conditions.
New York H'orW.
Thomas Dolan, lYsshknt of the Manulac-
Club of Philadelphia, a Republican.
of course. an.1 a protectionist, ha. published
ale.terin which he takes Itsi-e with Hie
hide-bound partisans who have been Indus-
trlmiilir misrepresenting the causes ol me
....( .-.million, lie declares his belief
thit "confidence will lie restorjd to the
financial community by the repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman ac'," anJ
scouts ihe I'iea that tear ot tariff legislation
has occasioned the loss of confidence. His
own language Is:
I bel.eve t'nt the expression is almost
wholly due to the silver policy. If the
alarm was dut to the victory of the l)em.
ocrals, why was It not manifested last
November? The people kntw then as wen
as thev know now that it was within the
power of the new Administration to repeal
the tariff laws, yet no uneasiness was felt.
In fact, in the woolen business everyi nine
went alone swimmingly until the 't ot
July. Orders came in good and strong
lor fall goods. Tne situation was like this:
manufacturers had ihe benefit of tho Mc
Kinley act, which kept out foreign compe
titors, while they were able to buy raw
material at lower prices than during the
nrvroug vear Conditions were rnus isvui-
able, and with the gocd demand everything
was prosperous until the silver craze upiel
the country.
He asserts also that the depression in the
iron trade Is caused not by fear of tariff
revision but by cverproduciion. He warns
his own party of the probable consequences
of its foolish scare policy and takes a hope
ful view of the future.
It appears to me that it is entirely wrong
for the Republicans to keep harping aay
upon the same old campaign tactics. The
democrats have fully three years In which
to right matters, and if the Republicans
insist that the present depression is due to
fear regarding the tariff, when business
becomes blighter the Democrats will claim
all of the credit and assort that better times
are due to whatever changes In the tariff
laws they may have enacted. This country
is just as rich as It was six months ago.
The harvests are bountiful, the needs of
consumers are just as great, snd as soon as
Congress enacts the proper laws I look for
a complete restoration cf confidence which
will cause ihe We of prosperity again to
sweep over the land .
When tho house was about to vote on
the silver question Dailey of Texas asked if
in case all the amendments as to the ratio
wcro defeated it would be in order to pro
pose an .additional amendment. The
speaker thought not but would hear the
gcnlleiran 01 the subject when the time
came to formally present it. McMilliu of
Tennessee wished to offer an nmendment
for the free coinage of the products of 1 he
silver mines of the United States, lihind
objected e-en to the reading, saying it was
not free coinage nt all. The free coinage
leaders have lecn objecting to this propo
sition all the time the question has been
underdiscussion in,'. the hou. In this I
they have exhibited the rule or ru'.n spirit. I
The free coinage of silver bullion, tho pro
duct of our own mines is the only step that
could now bo taken to rehabilitate silver
and Ibis stop Ihe free coinnge leaders refus;
to take. Such a measure with a heavy duty
upon'importedilter would enhance theval
U9 of our own without increasing the price
of foreign silver and this would soon lead
to free coinage in foreign countries.
Catarrh Cannot be Cared
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot
reach the seat ol the disease. Catarrh is a blood
or constitutional disease, and in order f-o cur
it you. must take internal remedies. Ball's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts
directly on the blood and mucous surfaces.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is not aauack medicine. It
was prescribed by one of the best physicians in
this country for years, and is a regular pre
scription. It is composed of the best tonics
known, combined with tho best blood puriilers,
acting directly on tho mucous surfaces. The
perfect combination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results in curing
Catarrh, Sena for testimonials, free.
