hits were vociferously applauded. Among
other sayings with a Johnsonian flavor was
his assertion that he was a thorough-go
ing monopolist, and he believed in mak
inp as much as he could out of a business.
“But our duty here," he said, “is to at
tack them < the monopolies. The chair
man had preat difficulty in checking the
laughter which followed this sally.
THE DEMOCRATS TOO SLOW.
This was his exordium “We. of the
Democratic party, went before the coun
try in 1592, asserting that the existing
tariff was wrong in principle and unjust
in operation, declaring the policy of pro
tection a fraud and robbery, charging it
with creating trusts, stifling commerce,
throttling industry, causing enforced idle
ness. lessening wages, imjtoverishing la
bor and creatine a few monstrous for
tunes. and pledging ourselves to abolish
it if the American i>eopie gave us au
thority. They did give us authority,
and— then—our haste to repeal oppressive
taxes subsided, and instead of dying at
the throat of the protected barous and
robber trusts, the great Democratic
party began, as it were, to wag its tail
and look for crumbs. It was the duty of
a partycoming into poweron such pledges
and at such a conjuncture to have pro
ceeded without a moment's delay to the
radical revision of the tariff.
waKtep an extka session.
“If Mr. Cleveland had shown the sa
gacity and courage the situation de
manded. the ink would not have been dry
on the commissions of his secretaries ere
congress would have been calied into
extra session to relieve the country of ils
burdens of taxation. But, instead of that
we proceeded to rest on our laurels and
divide the spoils, and the na
tion was treated to the spectacle
of a President and a congress
having power to remove crushing burdens,
devoting their energies to tlio discussion
of personal claims to petty places.
And as the climax of this delay come the
shameful days we have just passed
through in which .the House has stood
paralyzed, because,* despite our over
whelming majority, we democrats would
neither furnish a quorum to be counted,
nor count the one that was really present.
But at last the committee charged by this
House with the duty of bringing in a bill
for the abolition of a system which the
majority of us have declared a fraud and
a robbery, have been heard from. They
have given us a democratic report arid a
republican bill. ‘The voice is Jacob's
voice, but the hands are the hands of
Esau.’
WILSON'S BILL TOO MILD.
“ ‘The American people,’ say the com
mittee. ‘after the fullest and most thor
ough debate ever given by any people to
their financial policy, have deliberately
and rightly decided that the existing
tariff is wrong in principle and grievously
unjust in operation.’ And then tho com
mittee go on to present to us a bill based
upon this same wrong principle, and per
petuating this same grievous injustice—a
bill for which they have taken the Mc-
Kinley bill as a model, and of which the
best that can be said is that it is the Mc-
Kinley bill shaved down; or a redistribu
tion of the spoils of protection. lam like
the man who could cat crow. I will vote
for this bill, if I can get nothing better.
But I do not like it.”
HURTS ONLY O NE TRUST.
Air. Johnson proceeded to show that the
bill, if enacted into a law, would injure
but one trust, the sugar trust. The fail
ure to touch the steel rail trust was par
ticularly exasperating to tho speaker; ho
is a manufacturer of steelruils himself,
and he declared that the duty fixed in the
bill, albeit a reduction of 50 per cent,
from the McKinley rate, would enable the
trust to maintain prices as snugly as did
the present law.
“But it is useless now to take up the
time of the House with details. X pro
pose at the proper time to offer some
amendments to the bill in the effort to
get some of the protection out of it, and
some real reduction of taxes into it. I
object to its whole spirit, to the timidity
and cowardice that breathes through it,
to its tenderness with trusts, and its re
luctance to reduce protection.
PROTECTION BUNCOMBE.
“All this talk about injuring industries
Bud depriving workingmen of employ
ment by reducing taxes too fast is pro
tection talk, and the true place for the
man who believes it is in the Republican
party. We heard it all before election,
and if we did not believe it then, why
should we believe it now f The majority
of the American voters did not believe it
then, or Mr. Cleveland would not lie in
the white house, and we would not have
a majority here. I believe the result of
the next election hangs on the action of
this House iu this matter. What would
the result of a similar election be to-mor
row? The November elections have told

nothing to redeem our pledges, nor shown
My disposition to do so.”
JOHNSON’S PATENTS ON KAILS.
In tlie course of Mr. Johnson's remarks,
While he was pleading with the House to
put steel rails on the free list, Mr. Dalzell,
of Pennsylvania, interrupted to ask if lie
[Johnson], was not manufacturing rails
under the protection of patents.
Mr. Johnson lam glad you asked that
question, for otherwise I could not have
got the facts into this discussion. I did
have three patents upon processes used in
our mills at Johnstown. The courts very
wisely, I think, declared two of them
void ; the other has been rendered useless
by a change in the fashions.
Mr. Dalzell—ls not Mr. Moxley presi
dent of the company with which the gen
tleman is connected, and does he not pos
sess 102 patents?
Mr. Johnson—Mr. Moxley is president
Of our company, but I think the gentle
man underestimates the number of
patents he holds. It is nearer 202 than
102, I should say. But not one of them
has been taken out abroad, and there is
nothing, so far as they are concerned,
which would prevent any rail whatever
made abroad from coming into direct com
petition with our product.
PAYING EMPLOYES IN BCRIP.
Mr. Dalzell, displaying a certificate,
Ssked Mr. Johnson if his company was
sot paying its employes in scrip.
Mr. Johnson—Well, I will answer that
question. We pay our men highor wages
than they can get elsewhere, because we
oelieve it pays us to have the pick of the
trade. Hast summer we found our cus
tomers, the street railroad companies,
lufferinefrotn the effects of bad republican
legislation. They had bonds, but no money
ind could not get any. We agreed to
take bonds in payment for rails in case
we could get our men to help carry the
ourden. We presented the case to them
ind asked if they would prefer that we
hut down, or that, they taka one-third of
their iwages in cash and two-thirds in
scrip, you may call it, but really evi
deuces of their part ownership of the
nds. They unanimously said they
would rather continue work on that basis.
We borrowed the money and went ahead.
Mr. Dalzell—lsn’t this scrip selling to
day at a discount in Johnstown?
Mr. Johnson—That can hardly be pos
sible, for we took up the first issue last
week at a premium.
A STEEL KAIL POOL.
Turning upon Mr. Dalzell, Mr. Johnson
isked if lie denied the existence of a steel
rail pool?
Mr. Dalzell —There is no steel rail
trust.
Mr. Johnson—Any quibble about the
words pool and trust?
Mr. Dalzell—There was a combination
>f steel rail makers [Derisive laughter
in the democratic side]. But it foil of its
iwn weight. Its purpose was not to main
tain prices for. us a matter of fact, the
prices of steel rails fell continuously
.hroughout its existence; and the gentle
man knows how many steel rail concerns
are to-day in the hands of receivers.
Mr. Johnson -Well, [displaying at his
desk a legal looking document], here is
j the proof of the existence of anew trust
organized since the dissolution of the old
one.
A PECULIAR CONTRACT.
He then recited the petition of the re
ceivers of the Sparrowspoint. Md., steel
rail mill, filed in court at Baltimore on
Nov. 22 last, to be |ierinitted to sell 300,-
000 tons of rails to R. F. Kennedy at #25,
with a provision attached that if for any
reason Mr. Kennedy did not want the
rails, he was to be relieved of his con
tract to take them b.v the payment of #1 a
ton. Mr. Johnson said he was curious to
know who the gentleman was that could
contract for so many rails at #1 more
than the market price, and agree to for
feit #1 a ton if he did not take them. So
he investigated, he said, and
learned that Mr. Kennedy was
an officer. stockholder and
director of the Cambria Iron and Steel
Company, a rival concern, and secretary
of the new’ steel rail pool. The #1 per
ton provision in the contract was simply
a blind to cover the payment of #1 ,000 a
day to the Sparrowspoint concern not to
make rails, just as the pool was able to
pay another concern #30,000 a year not to
make rails weighing over fifty pounds a
yard. The tariff of 25 per cent, enabled
the pool to do this. Turning to his demo
cratic associates he continued: "Do you
wonder that just before Mr. Carnegie
went to Jerusalem, the other day he
stopped long enough to say that he was
perfectly satisfied with your bill?”
Throughout this episode the democratic
members manifested their appreciation
of Mr. Johnson's retorts by frequent ap
plause.
THE VALLEY OF DESOLATION.
At 1:55 o'clock Mr. Dalzell addressed
the committee in opposition to the bill.
Mr. Dalzell is a member of the ways and
means committee. He said the election
of the democratic candidates and con
gress in 1892 resulted in a crisis among
the most appalling in our economic his
tory. AU our industries suffered immedi
ate collapse; trade, foreign and domes
tic, became paralyzed; the ghost
of distrust stalked threateningly in
all the avenues of commerce,
and fear fell on all men, rich and poor
alike. Asa people, we walk to-day in the
valley of desolation. The doubts engen
dered by democratic accession to power,
have been justified and aggravated by ex
perience of democratic rule. In the few
months that the dominant party has held
the reins of government, it has proved it
self conspiciously incompetent to deal
with a single importaut question pre
sented by the responsibilities.of civil ad
ministration.
THE PLAN OF RELIEF.
“In this deplorable condition of things,
clouds and darkness all around us, what
do those who rule our destinies propose
by way of relief. A tariff bill, that if
enacted, I predict posterity will pro
nounce the most infamous legislative
crime of our history. Instead of relief it
brings aggravation. To the man whose
idle capital is bringing him no returns,
whose plant by disuse is depreciating, and
whose income had been badly narrowed
or entirely cut off, it offers tho deceptive
lure of free raw materials and the ignis
fatuus of the world's markets, while it
strips him of the ability tocompete in any
market and lie Just to his employes. To
the farmer it offers, instead of protection,
an enlarged competition from abroad in
the products of his farm; instead of a vast
and growing home market, a market
abroad in which his increased surplus can
not but degrade prices.”
Mr. Dalzell concluded his speech at 3:55
o'clock.
The remainder of tho day’s session was
occupied by Messrs. Warner and Coombs,
of New York, In speeches in favor of the
pending bill.
At 5:20 o’clock the committee arose and
the House took a reoess until 8 o’clock.
JERRY SIMPSON IN THK CHAIR.
At the evening session there wore only
about ten representatives present.
Last week, when the democratic caucus
was in session, a tender of recognition
was made to the populist party, and to
night. for tho first time in tho history of
the House, a populist, in tho person of
Jerry Simpson, occupied the chair.
Mr. Snodgrass, dem., of Tennessee, was
the first speaker iu favor of the Wilson
bill, but a large part of his remarks were
given up to a criticism of tho pending
measure. Mr. Snodgrass' position on tho
Wilson bill was not very clearly stated,
and Mr. Van Voorhis, rep., of New York,
was impelled to ask whether Mr. Suod
grass was “for the bill or agin it.”
Mr. Snodgrass was followed by Mr.
Mahon, rep., of Pennsylvania, who
attacked tho pending bill, as also did Mr.
Curtis, rep., of Kansas. Mr. Cur
tis' constituents being nearly all engaged
in sheep raising and farming, he chiefly
arraigned the wool and live stock sched
ules of the Wilson bill. These three gen
tlemen occupied all the time of tho even
ing session, and at 10:30 o'clock the House
adjourned.
SESSION OF THE SENATE.
Two Senators Tell Why Public Build
ings Have Not Been Commenced.
Washington, Jan. 10.—There was noth
ing else of interest iu the Senate proceed
ings to day except a little discussion that
sprung up on the question of why the
erection of public buildings, for which
past congresses have mado appropria
tions, haR not been commenced and car
ried on. Mr. Peffer assigned as a reason
the inadequate force in the office
of the supervising architect of the
treasury, and Mr. Gorman giving the
depleted condition of the treasury as the
real reason. He stated, in that connec
tion, that the aggregate appropriations
made by congress in the last three years
exceeded the aggregate revenues of the
government during the same period by
more than 00,OtK).(K)0, and said that if
the senators wanted public works to be
carried on, they must either authorize a
treasury loan or increase the revenues
from taxation.
The resolution which Mr. Frye offered
in the Senate a week ago, and which has
since been lying on the table, declaring a
policy of non-intervention in the govern
mental affairs of Hawaii, was taken up
and was made the basis of a three hours’
speech by Mr. Davis, rep., of Minnesota,
in which the action of Commissioner
Blount and tho administration was criti
cised, but without asperity, the action of
Minister Stevens commended and the
overthrow of the queen’s government de
fended and justified. The speech was
not concluded, aud will be continued to
morrow.
A SHOE COMPANY PAILS.
The Concern In Business at Atlanta
for About a Year.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 10.—The John
M. Moore Shoe Company, which
began business about a year ago,
filed n lot of mortgages to-day, which
practically announce the failure of the
concern. The largest mortgage was to
Mrs. Kuphemia Moore, wife of the presi
dent and principal stockholder, and is for

the claims of foreign creditors. The con
cern did a shoe manufacturing business.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1894.
HARDEMAN NOT IN A ROW.
The Treasurer Denies the Trnth of a
Sensational Yarn.
According to a Story Afloat at At
lanta He Was Going to Make It Hot
for the Georgia Railroad Bank—The
Alleged Course of the Bank in the
Depository Investigation the Cause
(liven for the Imaginary Tilt.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 10.—For several days
past there has been a report in circula
tion that correspondence of a very lively
nature had passed between State Treas
urer Hardeman and the officials of the
Georgia Railroad Bank, growing out of
the investigation by the recent legis
lature of the state depository system,
and the criticism of Col. Harde
man by the legislative committees. Ac
cording to the report Treasurer Harde
man was expected to submit a report on
the affairs of the bank that would create
a commotion, to say the least, this report
being precipitated by the alleged action
of the bank in stirring up the depository
issue.
The bank, it was said, had some time
ago applied to the treasury for the
privilege of handling a large slice of the
stato’s funds, something like the amounts
on deposit in the Columbus and Lagrange
banks, and when Col. Hardeman declined
to grant such an accommodation, tho baim
people thought to even up by instigating
the treasury, investigation by the legis
lature. This story has been going around
in business circles.
THE STOKY DECLARED UNTRUE.
To-day the report was laid before Treas
urer Hardeman by the Morning News
corres,tondent. Col. Hardeman had evi
dently heard the report before, but did
not appear to be worried about it.
“Why,” said the treasurer, “there is not
a particle of truth in that. In the first
place there is not a solider financial insti
tution in the country than the
Georgia Railroad Bank, and in the
next place the relation between the olli,
cers of the hand and myself could not be
more cordial. I went to school with the
president and we graduated together.
That report must have originated in
some mischief maker's fertile imagina
•tion.
Treasurer Hardemah stated further
that there is no trouble with any of the
depositories upon which such a report
could bo based, but when questioned
about other banks that might be made
the subject of official report, he declined
to talk further than to say that in that
event the matter would come out in due
time.
A FAILURE TO CHARGE OFF.
There is a report current that one of
the best known banks of the state has
been returning a large amount of bad
paper for years to keep up its appearance
of solvency, and that this fraud lias been
discovered by the department, and a cor
rection ordered. The bank has been un
able to make good this deficit, and it is
probably this that has furnished the re
ports of the trouble at the treasury de
partment.
CAROLINA’S THIRD PARTY.
A March Convention to Nominate a
Candidate for Governor.
Columbia, S. C., Jan. 10.—There is to
be another “March convention” this year,
and Congressman Shell is again the man
to call it. The Cotton Plant, the official
alliance organ, will say to-morrow: “The
people should meet in their neighborhood
clubs and send delegates to a state con
vention, which will adopt a platform and
nominate a candidate for governor, to
represent our people on that platform. A
lieutenant-governor should also be put up,
but the remainder of the state
officers cuti bo nominated by the
delegates to the September conven
tion. The state convention for this
purpose should be held not later than
the month of March, before the farmers
get too busy in their crops to attend to
it, and lie fere bad blood rises between the
friends of the aspirants for the governor
ship on the reform side. We believe that
the last president, Capt. Shell, and the
executive committee of the Farmer’ Asso
ciation of this state, ore the proper ones
to issue, such a call, and we are confident
that the people would res,>orid promptly
and unanimously to a call issued by them.”
Ilditor Bowden goes on to say that he
does uot agreo witli the alliance resolu
tions adopted in Laurens recently.
There is now no doubt that there will
be an interesting factional squabble in
the reform ranks, and the line is now
drawn between Senator Irby, Larry
Gantt, Stauyarne Wilson and John Gary
Evans, on the one side, and Messrs. Botv
don. Shell and Tindall on the other. The
leaders here say that Senator Irby is po
litically dead.

it? If not. for experiment's sake, when
you go to buy soap again ask for “Sea
Foam." The experiment will only cost
you a half dime, hut it will be worth a
great deal to you iu days to come. You

and after once trying It you will take no
other. Don’t forget the name,

CONSULTING OPTICIANB.
A STARTLING FACT,
That very few persons have perfect eye*. It
must be evident that It requires both knowl
edge and skill to know what the eyes need
and to fit them properly with glasses. Those
who trust this work to uninstructed dealers
are criminally careless of the most valuable
of all the senses, their sight. In addition to
graduating In Germany and my thirty years’
practical experience I have taken a course
and graduated in a school of optics la New
York and learned the latest and best methods
of ascertaining tho different defects of the
eyes and their proper correction, so that I
can fit you properly with glasses that will
strengthen aud Improve youreyeslght instead
of rapidly ruining it, as poorly fitted glasses
will always do. No charge for examination.
