IT IS A DECIDED STEP TOWARDS
REFORM
AND SHOt CD RECEIV E JUST CON¬
SIDERATION FROM THE PEOPLE.
An Evil ill :::! leu IN Cun not lr c
Hulled ill II* Day.
Washington, Aug. 14.—Senator Pat¬
rick Walsh, of Georgia, to a reporter
of tlie Southern Associated Press today,
said:
"The Senate hill is essentially a com¬
promise measure. It represents the b -st
that could he attained daring the pres¬
ent session and the atlaiinaible should
always lie accepted by conservative men
in mat ten) of legislation. This bill is
sindi an improvement on the MeKiu’ey
law that there ought to be no question
among the tariff reformers as to its
beneficial- effect ui*m .the business in¬
terest* of the country. The Senate Hill
is a long step ill the direction of the
removal of protective duties. It is the
beginning of the eml of the fight for
tariff reform. It is a compliance with
the spirit of the pledges of the Demo¬
cratic party, and the contest will go on
until the letter is also fulfilled. No
Democrat should fail to accept the Sen¬
ate bill as the very best thing in the
shape of tariff legislation that could be
obla ; ied from the Senate as at present
constituted. With the parties so evenly
divided in .the Senate, we should rejoice
that even such substantial progress
should have been made in Hie reduction
of duties and the removal of commercial
restrictions.
“Had the Democrats not been irniitea
it was possible that the Republicans
could have filibustered during the present
session. In place of damning the Semite
bill with failnt praise and bringing it
into ridicule and contempt, the Demo¬
cratic press should use its influence to
create a just public opinion as to the
real merits of the Senate bill. When
properly presented as the best measure
of tariff reform attainable tlie conserva¬
tive sentiment of the country will settle
down to the conviction that very sub¬
stantia^ direction progress has been made 4 ’
of real tariff reform and freer
trade among the nations.
’’t hose who have been denouncing the
Senate bill as McKmicyism in a modified
form should bear in mind that it is
impassible for the Democratic majority
to do otherwise than adopt a compromise
measure. Great reforms are not accom¬
plished in a day. Protection inis been in
existence for thirty-three years and it
win take time to remove it. The tree lias
been topped of its branches-. The trunk
and the roots will be cut down and up-
inoted before the administration of Pres¬
ident Cleveland draws to a close.- The
Democratic Congress represents substan¬
tial progress and will ask the people for
leave to sit again . The Democratic party
will go before the country on the record
it lias made, anu it is confidently believed
that it will be triumphantly endorsed by
the popular verdict at the polls in the
el hs this fall for members of Con-
THEY ALL APPROVE IT.
The Georg-iii Delegation Interview¬
ed on tlie Tariff.
Washington. D. C-, Aug. 13.—(Special.)
The Democrats in both Houses have,
in less than forty-eig-hf hours, buried
all their animosity, anil are anxious
that Mr. Cleveland may, through pre¬
conceived opinion, veto the bill. As
stated in these dispatches last night
lie will either affix his signature or
else allow it to become a law without
signing it.
The Georgia delegation feels that a
great victory has been gained for the
cause and -that by the action of yes¬
terday the next House is saved to the
Democratic par y. The sentiments ex¬
pressed by the members of the Geor¬
gia delegation are similar in substance
to those held by nearly every Demo¬
crat in either House, showing that the
bitterness engendered over tlie bill dur¬
ing the past month was merely of a
personal nature between the two
Houses rather than on account of any
great divergence of principle. Senator
Gordon said:
rThe Senate bill is a good one; bet-
pij , ^han is any bill ever radical framed in the
j It not as as some of
us would have had, but when consider-
el and compared with the Mills bill
n rid other measures, it is a most ex¬
cellent measure.”
Senator Walsh said: “The bill has
never been put properly before the
country, nor has It ever been fully un¬
derstood. The bill cuts the taxes of
they people more than fifty per cent,
frpro the McKinley act. Its passage
u, ’ *s in a brighter future for Amer-
it- ommeroe, and gives new life to
t 1 .eriean masses.”
Black sayis in regard to the bill:
country, of course, knows tha
’mate bill as an original proposi-
/as not acceptable to the House,
but ft knows as well that there are
two <jo-orilinate aitld equal bill bodies that

bie to have rejected the bill when 11
became apparent that nothing better
could be done. The public have been
led in o two mistakes tn this matter:
the first is in the assumption that we
have a clear working majority of Dem
ocrats in the Senate, and the other in
comparing the Senate bill with an ideal
one, and not with the existing law. One
thing is certain, the Third Party in
Georgia cannot criticise us for voting
for the Senate bill, because Senators
Allen and Kyle voted for it, and on the
resolution in the House yesterday to
agree to the Senate amendment a'.i of
their party who were present voted for
it, anl Mr. Pence announced that if
three absent members were present
they also would have voted aye.”
Col. Livingston says-: “The Demo¬
cratic. House took the Senate bill from
necessity, and it is by no means as
undemocratic as it has been represent¬
ed to be. It was perhaps the bitterest
pill 10 the Republican side of the House,
that has been administered b> them
this Congress, and this fact should go
a long way to commend it to the Dem¬
ocratic masses. it makes a reduction
Including raw materials, of aliout fifty
p -r cent, under the McKinley bill. With
the bills passed immediately thereafter,
especially the sugar bill, (he Republi¬
can party will have no advantage be¬
fore the people in the fall elections, and
if the Democrats stir themselves as
they should >ve will undoubtedly con-
trol the next House. The masses should
remember that ihe Senate bill retains
the tax on incomes, which Is clearly
an offset in favor of the people against
whatever tax the bill may contain in
favo-r of the Sugar Trust. The Demo¬
cratic parfy should and can win under
tiiis bill.”
Mr. Cabaniss says: 'It was the best
d: y’s work that has been done in tIn-
House this session. The Senate bill is
not what I wanted, nor what I thin’.
the country ought to have: but it is
the best that we could get, and it is
a great deal better than the McKinley
bill. Taxation under it is a great deal
less than under Ihe present law. More¬
over we passed bills to put sugar, coal,
iron ore and barbed wire on the free
list. If the Senate will only pass these
bills the taxation of the people will be
reduced 175.000,000 per annum. Yes,
we did a good day’s work, and the peo¬
ple will appreciate it.”
Ben Russell says: “Yesterday was a
glorious day for the Democratic party.
The passage of the tariff bill, as amended
by the Senate, with the income tax, was
the beet that could be done, but it was
a long stride on the road of tariff re¬
form. Our adtion yesterday repealed the
McKinley law, which has burdened our
people since 1890, and gives us one
which will relieve many of the necessi¬
ties of the people from taxation. The
passage by the House of bills putting
iron, coal, barbed wire and sugar on the
free list was the proper thing to do.
Say what you please about the tariff hill
passed yesterday, hut the Republicans
fought it bitterly, which was to its credit,
anil it is the best given to the country
in over forty years. It insures the con¬
tinuation of Democratic supremacy. The
next House will be Democratic”
Mr. Tate says: “The tariff bill, while
1 do not approve some of its features,
goes far toward.reducing the tariff taxes
on the people. It was the best hill we
could get from the Senate. Even our
Populist friends realize the great bene¬
fits of the Senate Mil by giving it their
support.”
Judge Turner’s advocacy of the Will on
the floor spoke for itself. Col. Lester
says the bill is one which he can fearless¬
ly present to his people during his com¬
ing campaign.
Judge Maddox, .iu previous interviews,
has endorsed fully the Senate bill, and
has on more than one occasion expressed
the hope that it would become a law.
Judge Lawson said: “The enemies of
tariff reform can claim what they rail
imagine, but the bill passed is a goed
one and should receive the hearty sup¬
port of every true Democrat."

from the Committee on Pensions.
ANARCHISTS AHRESTEI1.

Rotnc, Aug. 14.—Several anarchists were
arrested yesterday at an open air meeting
in the suburbs. The poliee searched their
lodgings near the centre of the city today,
and found bombs, explosives and tools and
chemicals for the manufacture off, such
articles. The Italian Government has ex-
pelled the’ F'l-encti socialist, deQuetcliy, for
some time a member of the French Cham¬
ber off Deputies. Their object Is to arrest
any anarchist suspect against whom they
can get sufficient evidence for conviction.

THE TREATY
WITH CHINA.
THE IN I TED STATES MAKES UNIM-
POUTANT CONCESSIONS.
AND THEREBY GAINS IMPORTANT
POINTS FROM CHINA.
It In Practically the Same ,as the
Ilayard Treaty.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 14.—The
new Chinese treaty, to the ratification
of which the Senate agreed yesterday
without amendment, is practically the
same convention as that negotiated dur¬
ing President Cleveland’s administra¬
tion by Mr. Bayard, and which the
Senate at that time so loaded .down
with modifications as to render obnox¬
ious to the Chinese Government, and
caused its failure. The action of the
I Senate yesterday is therefore regard
ed by the Department of State as a
comp’.e e vindication of Mr. Bayard’s
attempt to provide a fair basis of un¬
derstanding between this Government
and the Chinese, and is taken as fairly
indicative of the advanced stand the
American people have taken on the
Mongolian question. The important
point about the treaty is that it takes
f the place of 1 he one-sided exclusion
i laws adop'ed by Congress, an-l in sat¬
isfying China, inaugurates a better
feeling between the two interested coun¬
tries. While it avoids (he string of ex¬
clusions, it accomplishes more seclu¬
sion than existing laws, in that it se¬
cures the cordial co-operation of China
to the end of absolutely prohibiting
ail immigration of Chinese laborers for
ten years, and in the second article
gives the United States Treasury De¬
partment authority to make restrictive
regiuiatiiKns for - the future which will
permanently prevent undesirable im¬
migration and specifically prohibits the
naturalization of Chinese.
The only clause of the treaty not
contained in the Bayard draft and the
one that has aroused the greatest.op¬
position is the fifth article, tn which
the. United States recognizes the right
of China to enact and enforce laws sim¬
ilar to our own exclusion acts again.*'
United Slates laborers in China, and
provides that the United States shall
furnish the Chinese Government reports
giving -he name, age, occupation and
place of residence in China of all Amer-
can citizens, including missionaries.
The apparent opposition to the ques¬
tions readily disappears when it is
known that this information has been
regularly furnished to (he Chinese Gov¬
ernment for many years, it being tile
custom of Americans to register at out
consulates, and of consuls fo furnish
these lists to the local authorities m
order that protection might be afforded
to such missionaries and travellers in
case of necessity. When such lists are
furnished, Chinese authorities assume
full responsibility for the safety- of such
persons. Tin-re is nothing humiliating
about this regis-ration, as all Ameri¬
ca?! travellers well know under the
Swiss taw an alien can reside only a
fortnight in the country in public ho¬
tels with governmental permission, and
the laws of Germany and France are
extremely stringent in the samp direc¬
tion, every alien being under surveil¬
lance continually in both countries.
It is a maxim of international law that
an alien Is amenable to the laws of the
country in which he resides, and by
the present treaty the United States
has, by apparent concessions to China,
secured that country’s friendly assist¬
ance 'o the enforcement of our Chinese
'exclusion 'laws, and to the protection
of Americans in China without making
a single practical concession.
The fact that the Senate agreed to
the treaty without amendment, and
by an overwhelming majority, indicates
the confidence of that body that the
interests of the United States are fair¬
ly protected.
TENNESSEE DEMOCK ATS.
Tlie Danger of Populism Bring*
Them Together Ilnrniodiously.
Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 14.-The Demo¬
cratic State convention will meet here to¬
morrow to nominate a candidate for Gov¬
ernor. There is no opposition to the re-
noinlnaHon of Governor Peter Turney,
which will doubtless be made by acclama¬
tion. There is much division among Ten¬
nessee Democrats on the Mirer question,
but tlie disposition among the delegates
who Have so far arrived is towards com¬
promise rather than contention. This makes
it probable that the financial plank in the
platform will declare for the coinage of
both gold and silver at such a ratio as will
preserve the parity of the two metal-s, or
some other indefinite phrase that both fac¬
tions can claim as an expression of tnelr
views. The Democratic majority in the
recent Supreme Court judge’s election over
tlie Republican and Populist fusion was
only about 16,000, and the Republicans
olalm that they could have won if their
forces had, been thoroughly aroused. They
will make a determined effort, to elect the
Populist nominee for Governor in Novem¬
ber, -ancT this state of affairs has awakened
tlie Democrats fo the necessity of pre¬
serving party harmony.

ALL ABOUT A REPORTER.
Tue Mayor and the Fire Chief Have
a Set To.
Detroit, Mich., Aug. 11.—Mayor fili¬
gree this afternoon swore out warrants
against Bruce Goodfellow, president of
the fire department, Secretary Try on of
the committee, and Assistant Fire Chief
Ellett, charging them with conspiracy
and assault, and they have been arrested.
The trouble arose over an order which
the Mayor gave a local reporter to ex¬
mine the books of the fire committee.
The reporter was refused access to the
books by Secretary Tryon last evening
and the Mayor went in person with the
reporter to the office of the fire commit¬
tee and demanded to see the hooks. The
office was closed and President Good-
fellow refused to reopen It. An alterca¬
tion ensued when Goodfellow -called on
FJlett. to throw the reporter from the
building. Mayor Pingree internoaed and
several firemen were called up from be¬
low. While two or three of them held
Mayor Pingree, the rest ejected the re¬
porter. The city lawyers advised the
Mayor that he had a right, to examine
the hooks at any time, and that the
obstructing commissioner and employes
could be charged with conspiracy, hence
the warrants. Goodfellow. Tryon and
Eilett were arraigned in police court and
bail fixed at $1,000 in each case which
was promptly furnished.
Ex-Czar Reed did not cut much of a
figure yesterday. Speaker Crisp and
Congressman Turner put him in his
place with the ease of polished parlia¬
mentarians.

THE REV EM I,,
What Wilt lie tin- Income Fuller the
Present System.
Washington, Aug. 14.—The passage of
the tariff bill had led to various esti¬
mates to the effect it will have, should it
not meet with a veto (which, lof course,
regarded as altogether out of the ques¬
tion), upon the national revenues, T lie
following figures from official doevments,
are at once of interest:
Treasury estimate for the fiscal year,
1895, aggregated revenues of $454,427,-
748 from these sources: Customs, $190,-
000,000; internal revenue, $160,000,000;
miscellaneous items, $20,000,000; postal
service, $84,427,74S. The estimate of
revenue under the tariff bill, as it passed
the House, made a total of $442,085,-
177.32 divided as follows: Customs,
$124,657,429; internal revenue (under
present law), $160,000,000; internal rev-
enue additional (under House bill), $73,-
000,000; miscellaneous Items, (under
present law), $20,000,000; post >1 service,
.(under present law), $84,427,748.
The estimate of revenues under 'the
House bill, as amended and passed by
the Senate July 3, 1894, exceeds iu the
aggregate both the two previous esti¬
mates, and gives the following show-rig:
Customs, $179,251,142; internal revenue
(as above Stated), $213,000,OtX); rr..scel-
-laneons items, (as above stated.,, $20,-
000,000; postal service, as above suited),
$84,427,748. Total $496,678,890. Under
the House bill the ad valorem tales of
duty showed a decrease of duty amount¬
ing to $73,716,023. In this < oulpi’tation,
articles that are free from duty are ex-
I eluded. The following table in this con-
shows the dutiable value under
the present law af $100,060,658.48 with
a duty of $198,373,452. The ad valorem
rale being 49.58 per cent, under the
- House bill; dutiable value, $351,(841,963,

BUTTER A NiD CHEESE.
There is money in butter and chess*,
and all it requires to abstract 10 is a little
Intelligence and skill.
“While on my Hancock farm,’’ says Gov¬
ernor Northern "1 sold all the butter I
could market at to cents a pound. The
earn? thing can be done again.”
Just think of the thousands of pounds of
butter daily consumed in Atlanta. Add to
It the butter consumed In Augusta, S«j'-
annah, Maoon, Columbits and other cities
and towns of Georgia.
For this cash has to be paid, and th©
unfortunate part of it is that the cash
goes, not Into the pockets of Georgia dalry-
men, but into the pockets of farmer. In
Illinois and New York. One wholesale
grocer tn Savannah reports that he takes
the entire annual product of an Illinois
dairy of nvo hundred cows. Beside* the
eonsumpiion of Butter there is that of
cheese. The money spent in this artlcl*
must reach into the hundreds of thousands
of dollars. No wonder 1* It that the man
with a magnificent crop of cotton cries ont
before he picks it up that he Is bankrupt.
Who would not be bankrupt when he neg¬
lected all the diversified possibilities of the
farm for one article?
There are'shine men In Ui-orsm. pioneers
In Industry, who have made fortunes in
butter and--cheese. One of the largest
fortunes nr Georgia today is built upon
that foundation. A wealthy cotton dealer
In a neighboring city got on the wrong
side of the market, and lost all he had. He
was already 3n aged man with an Invalid
wire-. Disappearing from the scene of
their misfortune, It was only to appear five
veers later richer than ever. The couple
had gone to the sulturbs of another city,
where they were not known. With two
(■mix fficy began life afresh, The ex-cot-
ton dealer peddled his butter and milk from
dour to door. Of course, he succeeded and
made money, and, a« he increased hi*
stock, spread out his business. The name
of that man would surprise the people of
Georgia today, would he consent to it*
use. Georgia
Col. Redding, rhe director of the
Experimental farm, recognizing the great
