POLITICS IN HIOH TAXES.
MESSRS. VEST AND ALLISON BEAR
THE BRUNT OF THE DEBATE.
The Former Assorts that the Senate’s
Bill Was Framed as a Masrnet to
Catch Votes in the Last Election—
Mr. Allison Professes a Willingness
to Vote for All .Just Amendments.
Washington, Dec. 1L —A conference of
democratic senators was held last evening
at which the Senate substitute for the Mills’
bill was under consideration. The confer
ence was called to 1 arn whether or not any
senator had any suggestion to make of a
chango in the manner of treating the
measure heretofore pursued in the senate,
but there was none. No vote was taken at
any time during the meeting, the gathering
being merely a conference and not a caucus,
but it was unanimously determined to
make no factious opposition to the bill, and
to let it take its regular course. The views
of the democratic senators will, however,
be made known as each paragraph is read
and amendments whic i are deemed neces
sary and just will be offered. There was a
full attendance of senators at the confer
ence.
DEBATE OF THE SENATE.
The Senate at 12 :40 o’clock to-day re
sumed consideration of the tariff bill, the
pending question being the Harris amend
ment to reduce the duty on beams, girders,
etc., from 1.1 cents per pound to 0.6 of a
o*jit. Mr. Vest referring to Mr. Sherman’s
speech yesterday denied the assertion that
the late election had settled the question of
tariff legislation. Mr. Vest was not dis
heartened by that resolution. If the
senator from Ohio and his party
thought that the election had set
tled the tariff question, a greater
mistake had never been made by mortal
man. The question would last as long as
the country endured, because it involved a
fundamental difference in the cjnstruction
of the constitution. Aside from tho poli
cies of the government, if the position of
the republican party to-day was the
correct one, that of unlimited taxa
tion for tbe purpose of protection,
the war would never cease, because it 'as
in his judgment,subversion of the principles
of ttie government and of its autonomy.
Unless he was very much mistaken in the
American people and had studied human
nature in vain, the result was just as
sure, in the course of time, as that be stood
in the Senate chamber to-day. But what
he had particularly wished to say was that,
although the senator from Ohio" might bo
right in slating that the election was a
triumph of the protective principle, he
absolutely denied in most emphatic terms
that it settled the question as to the details
of the bill.
THE STEEL TRUST.
Mr. Vest proceeded with his argument on
the metal schedule, and referred again to
the steel trust, cnaracterizing it as “a
gigantic devil fish of a combination,” which
put an immense amount of money into the
pockets of its members in the name of
American labor and of protecting infant
industries. He quoted from a trade
journal to show that American
manufacturers sent their products to
Canada to the amount of $36,000,000 yearly,
nnd were there able to compete with the
products of British manufacturers (paying
the same rates of duties), and he asked why,
if they could do that, they needed such
enormous protection at home. He would
lie obliged to any senator who would
answer that simple question.
GORMAN NOT AN EXTREMIST.
Mr. Gorman said that he had never taken
an extreme view either as to the reduction
or increase of duties. The country had ex
pected, however, that there would have
been a moderate decreaso of the revenues,
so as to remove the inequalities in the pres
ent tariff without interfering with the capital
invested or with the labor em-doved in manu
factures. But in the midst of the presidential
campaign and for political purposes, the
Senate substitute had been framed —its pur
pose being a reduction of taxation on two
or three article! (principally sugar and to
bacco) and an increase of taxation on all
other p roducts for the purpose of increasing,
unduly, the profits of certain manufactur
ing interests in the north.
THE SENATE’S MAILED HAND.
And the Senate, he said, was now met
with the statement that there could be no
modification or reduction of the rates pro
posed, and that the republican side of the
chamber would vote solidly to keep
the substitute as it is. As to the item un
der consideration, he had no question (from
his knowledge of the iron and steel business)
that 1 cent per pound would be an ample
duty on steel beams. Probably that rate
would be more than was necessary to pro
tect that industry and all the labor em
ployed in it. His impression was, however,
that the rate proposed in Mr. Harris’s
amendment, 0.6 of a cent per pound,
would be too great a reduction.
ALLISON’S DISCLAIMER.
Mr. Allison—l entirely agree with the
senator from Maryland tnat this bill should
discussed in detail on the merits of each
item, and so far as I am concerned as a
member of the finance commit
tee, I disclaim any idea that
the hill is immaculate in its details. I ex
pect that the finance committee itself will
offer a good many amendments to it. I
think there are several defects in it. I
think that these steel-beam people can get
along with a duty of 1 cent per pound
on steel beams, and at some proper time
1 shall be glad to offer that amendment.
For myself I disclaim presenting a bill that
is to be put through on party lines or for
party purposes. I shall listen with pleasure
to any criticisms on the details of the bill
The bill, in its general framework, is in
tended to protect American industries and
American labor, but as to its details I stand
ready to listen to amendments and to vote
for them if they convince my judgment
that the rate is either too higii or too low.
I think that gome of the rates proposed are
too low, and I have no doubt that I shall
vote to raise them. I think that some are
too high and 1 sh ill vote to reduce them.
GORMAN GLAD.
Mr. Gorman—l am very glad, even nt
this day, to have that statement from the
senator from lowa, Wo all understood why
this Senate substitute was framed. We nil
understand that it was framed for political
Purposes. lam not complaining of that.
> "u (reb rring to tho republicans) succeeded
in the election. You carried tho country.
It \as well and magnificently done on your
pat t, and i have no right to complain of it.
hut, now that the election is ovtr, now that
your pai ty has succeeded and is soon to
come into possession of every branch of tbe
government, it is the taight of unwisdom
to insist on these unduly high rates. There
j R ll( > excuse for the senator from lowa vot
ing his party (as he has done for tbe Inst
throe days) as a uult on every item. If the
senator is convinced that Ills bill is imper
f® ‘; if he believes that, there are items in it
winch ought to be amended, why
not recommit tho bill, aud bring
*ll a measure that is somewhat perfect;
’'by does he vote down every amendment
offered by democrats, whether it i>e right
or wrong, and hold out to us only tho hope
trot hereafter the finance committee may
offer amendments covering those cases? I
do nit think that any inter
*?* of the country dotnaiids that
"us i in should be passed iu amero partisan
du. it. [am ready to take up every item in
tno hill und co sider it, and vole for it. 1
"'intiot vote for the amendment offered by
’ Senator from Tennessee, tor I conceive
; that amendment is too radical,
nut I do want a reduction of the
UjJ r U in that particular article.
" e will go to tho country again on this
subject, und I hope that nur sldo will bo
■hie to show that pr Lection to American
industries to the full extent of providing
lor the difference in the co-t of labor here
jmd elsewhere will he made by this side;
out that the sharp distinctions advocated
oy the republicans here and elsewhere
would buiiu up monopolies away beyond
anything that has ever been dreamed of,
even during war times.
PARTISAN AIMS DENIED.
Mr. Allison disclaimed the idea that the
Senate substitute had been prepared for any
political purposes. There never had been a
time, he said, when the finance committee
did not know that revision of the tariff and
reduction of the revenue were ab
solutely necessary. The bill hud
been prepared by the republican
members of the finance committee on
their responsibility as senators, and not for
the base purpose of making party capital.
Referring to Mr. Vest’s statement as to the
immense profits of the steel association, Mr.
Allisou ridiculed it as an exaggeration, and
asked why, if it were true, competition
would not be set on foot in Alabama, Mis
souri and other states.
VEST GIVES THE REASON.
This question was answered by Mr. Veit’s
recalling the case of the Vulcan iron works
in Missouri, which were closed down some
vears ago. and had, he said, received $500,-
00 i a year as consideration for remaining
idle. That, he said, was the ordinary mode
of procedure of trusts anil combinations.
In further discussion, Mr. Allison again
repudiated the idea of the Senato substitute
being got up for political purposes, aud
threw back the charge upon the Mills bill,
which, he said, had had an indorsement of
the democratic national convention, and
had been framed on the lines of tbe Presi
dent’s message; and he said that there had
not been an amendment ffered yesterday
that had not been taken “body aud
breeches” from the Mills bill.
RESULT OF THE CAUCUS.
He also roferred to the democratic sena
torial caucus last evening, and said that the
result of it was seen to-day in ail attack
upon tho bill ‘‘all along the line.” If the
object of the democratic senators was to
prevent t e substitute being sent to tho
House of Repr sentatives, he gave them no
tice that be could stand early adjournments
as long as they could. If they wanted to
argue items in tho bill, so be it; but if they
wa ted to run the debate as a party
machine, ho gave them notice that, so far
as he had authority with reference to the
measure, he should a.-k for its consideration
every day, in the morning hour and at 2
o’clock, until it was disposed of.
A PERTINENT QUESTION.
Mr. McPherson a ked Mr. Allison whether
he thought that higher rates of duty were
required now than were required in 1861
and 1562, to meet war expenses.
“Of course, I do not," said Mr. Allison,
‘ but whatever duties are necessary to
maintain our industries in competition with
similar industries in other countries are
necessary now, if we believe in fostering
our own industries.”
Mr. Vest, commenting on the remark by
Mr. Allison that the democratic par;y was
dying hard, said that that might bo true;
but he took great encouragement from the
example set by that distinguished senator
who had been “killed” twice in republican
presideutial conventions; but if there
was ever any livelier corpse
than that senator to-day, he, (Mr.
Vest) had never seen it. [Laughter.]
He assured his friends that the ol l Demo
cratic party, though slightlv disfigured,
was still m the ring, and that it would he
ready to enter the lists in the next presi
dential canvass and meet the Republican
party on this identical question.
Finally, after a long debate, a]vrte was
taken ou Mr. Harris’ amendment, and it
was rejected by a vote of 20 yeas to 29
nays. Aii the votes of the republican
senators were in the negative, and with
them voted Messrs. McPherson ana Payne.
Mr. Gorman did not vote at all.
Mr. Vest then moved to fix the rate on
steel beams, etc., at 1 oent per pound. Mr.
Allison assented to that on the part of t.e
finance committee, saying that he bad been
instructed to offer the amendment, and
would have done so if he had been recog
nized by the chair. The amendment was
agreed to, without division, and the rate on
steel beams, etc., stands at 1 cent per pound.
THE RATE ON TRACE CHAINS.
An amendment offered by Mr. Vance to
reduce the rate on trace chains from 3 cents
to 2 cents per pound was, afterjdiseussion,
rejected, but on the suggestion of Mr. Alli
son the item was passed over without
definite action.
An amendment offered by Mr. Jones of
Arkansas to make cotton tia3 free of duty,
gave rise to a long discussion, which was
participated in by Messrs. Jones of
Arkansas, B?rry, McPherson and Vance ou
one side, and by Messrs. Dawes, Aldrich
and Stewart on the other. It was not dis
posed of, the Senate going into executive
business, and adjourning at 5:10 o’clock.
SUGAR SCHEMERS.
The Cargo at ’Frisco to Be Released
on Receipt of $62,401 More.
San Francisco, Dec. 10.—The United
States appraiser has reported in the matter
of 3,800 tons of Java sugar consigned to ati
American refinery and which was seized,
together with the steamer Westmeath, Sat
urday, that, after fifteen experiments, he
has found that the sugar has been arti
ficially colored, and, instead of being below
Dutch standard. No. 13, as reported, should
bo classed between grades No. 13 and No. 16
Dutch standard, whi h pays a duty of
'2\ cents per pound. In accordance with
till! finding, the refinery company to-day
paid $62,401 additional duty, and as it
cannot be shown that the refinery compauv
is at fault. Collector Hager states that the
cargo will be released, but will be sampled
frequently while the vessels are unloading.
LOVED LIB LANDLADY.
The Result Was That He Killed Both
Her and Himself.
Chicago, Dec. 10.—Andrew Martin,
a young engineer, aged about 21,
to-day shot, his landlady, Mrs. Merrill, who
had advised him to seek other quarters, and
tuen shot himself. Martin died instantly,
and Mrs. Merrill died in a few hours. Mar
iin had fallen in love with his landlady,
and his attitude toward her had become
unbearable and she advised him to depurt.
Martin attempted to kill aservant girl who
lie believed had bellied to thwart his de
sires, tut she escaped two shots tired at her
nnd called the polic<> who found Martin
dead aud Mrs. Merrill dying.

TRAY’S UNFORTUNATE SNEEZE.
It Is Followed by a Series of Mishaps
Both Ludicrous and Grave.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Allenville, Pa., Nor. 30.—James Troy
of this place got on a train at McVeytown
to go to Lewistown the other day. The car
was warm, and Tray raised the window at
which he was sitting. Soon afterward he
had to sneeze. The concussion of the sneeze
hurled his false teeth out of his mouth.
They shot through the open window and
went bounding along on the ground. Tray
had just got the set from the dentist’s. They
cost him $25. He got out at tbe next
station, five miles from where the teeth
had escaped from him, and walked
back to regain them. He found them.
Then he started to walk tho five
miles back to the station to get the next
train. As he was crossing the railroad
bridge over the Big Run, a west-hound
freight came along. He was walking on
that track aud stepped over on the beams
of the east-bound track. As he did so he
glanced back and saw a freight train from
the west just ooming on the bridge toward
him. There was no time for him to get
across the bridge before the train would he
upon him, and he did not dare stand on the
narrow space between the tracks until the
two trains passed. Both locomotives
sounded their danger signals. Thero was
but one thing to do. Tray seized a bridge
beam or tie with his hands, and drop: i ig
quickly down, hung by his fingers uutil the
long train had passed over. He then
dragged himself back to the track.
The engineer of the train was bringing it
to a stop, evidently to see what had become
of Tray, but when be reappeared and tho
conductor saw be was all right, the signal
was given to go ahead, and the train went
on without taking Tray aboard. A mile
further on another east-bound freight came
along. Tray thought it was runuing slow
enough for him to get On the caboose.
When the rear of the train was pa-sing ho
threw his overcoat on the platform of the
caboose and grabbed the rail to swing him
self on. The train was going faster than it
looked, and Tray could not get a footing.
He had to let loose of tho rail, and he was
thrown twenty feet down the bank. The
skin was scraped off of his face, hands and
legs, and one ankle was dislocated. The
train went on, taking Tray’s overcoat, a
brand new S3O coat, along with it.
In spite of his injured ankle and muti
lated face, hands and legs, Tray managed
to get over the remaining two miles of his
journey, reaching the station just as his
train came in. Without waiting to have
his injuries attended to ho boarded the
train. When the conductor esme around
Tray remembered that the conductor of
the first train had taken up his ticket for
the entire journey. He could not i duce
tho second conductor to pass him either on
the strength of that fact, or of the story of
his many mishaps, and Tray had to pay
his faro over again. He is now in bed,
wondering whether it isn’t more than likely
that the ceiling will fall ou Him.
