"GROVER CLEVELAND."
IN CONGRESS.
Washington, Aug. 27—President
Cleveland has written the following
letter to Representative Oatchings of
Mississippi, in which he sets forth his
views of the new tariff law and gives
his reasons for not approving the bills
"Executive Mansion, Washington, D.
C„ Aug. 27, 1894.—Hon. T. C. Catch-
lngs—My Dear Sir: Since the conver
sation I had with you and Mr. Clark
of Alabama, a few days ago, In regard
to my notion on the tariff bill, now be
fore me, I have giveu the subject fur
ther and more serious consideration.
The result Is, I am more settled than
ever in the determination to allow the
Dui to become a law without my -fea
ture.
“When the formation of the legisla
tion which It was noped would embody
Democratic ideas of tariff ruform wtis
lately entered upon by the congress,
nothing was further from my antici
pation than a result which 1 could not
promptly and eudiuslslludlly endorse.
"It la 'therefore wl^h afeelitig of the
utmost disappointment that I submit
to ai denial of this privilege.
"I do not claim to be better than the
mosses of my party, nor do 1 wish to
uvold ally responsibility which, on ac
count of the passage of this Mw, 1
ought lo bear us a member of the Dem
ocratic organisation. Neither will 1
permit myself to be separated front my
party to such an extent as might be
Impaled by any veto of the tariff legisla
tion, which, though disappointing, la
soil charge,uie to Democratic effort.
But there ure passages n the toil which
ure not In the direct Hue of honest tar
iff reform, and It contains uninsisten
cies and orudltlea which ought not to
appear In tori laws or laws of any
kind. Besides, there were, as you aud
1 well know, Incidents accompanying
the passage of the bill through the
cougress watch made every slueeve tar
iff refoMuci uiilmppjf, while inKtieoceS
surrounded It in its tenter stages, and
interfered with Its final construction,.
wu.cn ttught not to be recognised or
tolerated in Democratic term reform
councils.
"And yet, notwithstanding all its vt-
cissuuaes ami all the i>«d treatment 1;
received at the hands of pretended
friends, It preseuts a vust improvement
to existing conditions. It will certainly
lighten many a tanxf burden that now
rests heavily upon the people. It Is
not only a barrier against the return
of mml protection, but It furnistwe a
vantage ground from which must be
waged l>ur.uer aggressive operations
against protected monopoly U ud gov-
crum.'Uiui favoritism.
"I think my place is with the rank
and file of the Democratic patry who
know how It is, and refuse to accept
the results embodied In thla bill as the
floes ot the war; who are not blind
to the fact that the livery of the Dem-
ocraiyr has bee stolen und worn In the
lor vice of Republican protection, and
who have marked the deadly blight of
treaaoa than has blasted t-he councils
of the brave In their hour of night.
The trusts and combinations, the com
munion of pelf—whose machinations
have prevented us from reuohlug the
success we deserved, should not be for
gotten or forgiven. We shall recover
irum our aetuulahmont at their exhi
bition of power, and If then the quea-
tiou Is forced upon us whether they
I hall submit to the free legislative
will of the people's reprcsentatlvees, or
•hail dictate laws which the people
iiiu-n observe, we will accept aud set
tle that Issue as one Involving the In
tegrity and safety of American Institu
tions.
“I love the principles of true Democ
racy, because they an founded In pa
triotisss and upon Jntatce and fajm~<
toward an Interests 1 am proud of
any party organisation, because It la
In the enforueiutiu of its principles.
Therefore, I do no: despair of the ef
forts made by the house of represent
atives to supplement the bill already
passed by further legislation, and to
have engrafted upon it au -h modifica
tions us will more nearly meet Demo
cratic hopes aud apiratlons.
"I cannot be mlsiakcu as to the ne
cessity of tree raw materials ns the
foundation of logical aud sensible tar
iff reform. The extent to whk-h this Is
recognised In the IcglshtUon already
secured Is one of Its encouraging uud
redeeming features; but fc is vexatoua
to recall that while free coal and iron
ore have been denied us. a recent letter
of the secretary of the trttisury dis
closes the fact that both might have
been free by the annual surrender of
ouly about 17.000000 of unnecessary
revenue.
"I am sure that there ts a common
huWt of andereetomating 'V- imparl
ance of free raw material In legisla
tion and regarding them as only relat
ed to cotKKMtons to be made to our
manufacturer*. Tim truth Is their in-
Ituence is ao far-reaching that, if disre
garded, a complete and beneficent
scheme of tarlfl reform cannot be in-
ousuratvd .
"When we give to our manufacturers
free raw material* w* unshackle
American enterprise and Ingenuity, and
these will open the door* of f.
market* to the reception of our
aud give opportunity for the
ous and remunerative employment of
American labor. With materials cheap
ened by their freedom from tariff
■ barges, the cost of their
must be correspondingly c „
Therefore, Justice and fairness to tb*
consumer would demand that the man
ufacturers be obHged to submit to
auch a reudjuitment and modification
of the tariff upon their finished pro-
duet ns fputd secure to the people
the benefit of the reduc'd cost of their
manufacture and shield the conso
against the exaction* of Inordi
profits, it will thus be seen that free
raw materials and a just and feurtcas
regulation and redaction of the tariff
to meet Ui* chanced conditions would
ratre to every bumble home In the
Itnd the blessings of increased enm-
forisnd cheaper living.

Washington, Aug. 27 —The Pythian
hosts and their friends now gathered
at the capital were fully reepreanted
in the galleries of the house today,
their numbers filling them to overflow

was occupied by not more than sixty

observed, will not avail the member.
Mr. Holman, with the preftt'tory re
mark that It had been many years
since he had asked the house to con

Mr. Holmau made a brief statement
of t-he claim and the facts upon which
It was based, showing that it hud been

congress.
Several members Interrogated Mr.
Holman respecting the facta, and
finally Mr. Marsh (Republican) of Illi

surprised that the gentleman from Illi

cougress. ask the house to pass a bill
appropriating over t5,000 of the peo
ple's money to pay an old claim of two
constituents of his, whether Just or

man (Mr. Holmn) says has not been

This was greeted with laughter,which

the aisle to appeal lo Mr. Marsh to

we had cotton at our mill doors, fuel

knew whan they had a good thing and
would not allow any new competitor*
In the field If they could help It, and as
they control the manufacturing of cot
