Speeches of His G. O. P. Colleagues

WASHINGTON. Sept. 6—Senator
Hoke Smith spoke in tM Senate to
day In anirwor to the charge by the
ReptibMeAn* tha* the Wilson tariff bill
»f twenty year* a*o contributed to
the panic of 1898.
Senator Smith showed that the
/ante of that year was due to several
fausee. one of which was the unset
tled conditions growing out of the
Baring failure The high tariff law
of that time had prevented imports,
thus reducing the receipts of the
Government, while excessive appro
priations exhausted the Treasury re
sources. At the same time the silver
purchase law had resulted In the ex
portation of great quantities of gold
and the places had already been pre
pared for an issue of Government
bonds when Mr. novel and was Inau
gurated on March 4, 1893.
The worst of the panic of that year
was oveT by September, and the Wil
son tariff bill was nol passed until
the latter part of 1894.
Senator Smith said:
"Many times during this debate
Senators upon the Republican side o!
the Chamber have made the claim
that the passage of this tariff bill
will probably bring the country to
financial distress. They have appealed
to the history of tariff legislation to
sustain the claim. They have sought
to show that the reduction of tariff
taxes wiH flood this country with for
eign products, and they have cited
the panic during the last administra
tion of President Cleveland to sup
port their suggestions of hard times
as the result of tariff reduction.
References Are Inaccurate.
"As this bill is to pass substantially
In its present shape, it is well for the
public to understand that the histor
ical references made by Senators on
the Republican side are inaccurate,
and their fears utterly without foun
dation.
"Before dealing with the panic
from which this country suffered dur
ing the la«t administration of Presi
dent Cleveland, let me call attention
to the fact that the tariff legislation
of 1846 can Justly be compared to the
present bill The reduction of the
tariff taxes In 1846 whs followed by
unprecedented prosperity. Bo that we
have a record of substantial tariff re
duction accompanied with improve
ment and progress upon all lines of
♦activities.
"One of the severest panics from
which this country ever suffered was
in 1873 At that time we had a high
protective tariff with no suggestion
of its reduction, so that we have had
a severe panic under a protective tar
iff In all the woeful speeches made
during this debate especial stress has
been placed m>on the panic during the
last administration of President
Cleveland, und with general terms,
bnt without logic or reason, the ef
fort has been made to connect the
tariff legislation passed during his ad
ministration with the panic and to
charge tariff tax reduction as the
cause of the panic.
Panic Preceded Cleveland.
"Mr Cleveland wa-s Inaugurated the
second time on March 4, 1893. The
panic was already In progress before
his inauguration and before his elec
tion. The extreme period of the
panic was during the year 1893, and
the Wilson bill reducing tariff taxes
was not passed until during the last
half of the year 1894. No gTeat In
crease of importation followed the
tariff reductions of 1894. Our tariff
importations were less in 1895 than
they were in 1898, and less In 1896
than they were in 1 92. The total Im
portations for those four years were
as follows:
1893 $844,454,000
1895 731,162,000
1892 818.601.000
1896 759.694,000
WHAT HEFLIN THINKS OF SUFFRAGE:
This woman suffrage movement is-the greatest peril now
threatening the English-speaking people.
The family is the social unit, the harmonious whole, with
one head, not two heads.
Sex antagonism will spring up in the wake of woman suf
frage, and the sentiment betwen the sexes will be destroyed.
In the mad clamor for the ballot, women are hazarding
much, and entering on a perilous journey.
Upon the home-loving, man-trusting, consecrated Chris
tian women of the United States rests the safety of our insti
tutions and the perpetuity of the republic.
WHAT HEFLIN THINKS OF DRESS:
The evil genius of lustful fashion through immodest dress
is playing havoc with a certain class of women, and setting
a bad example for others.
The woman who teaches her daughter modesty and good
sense has done more for her day and her generation than she
ever could by active participation in polities.
WHAT SUFFRAGISTS THINK OF HEFLIN:
Ignorance in some people may he excused, but not in a
member of Congress, and I think every Congressman and Sen
ator ought to be made to take a course in constitutional his
tory before being permitted to speak in public.—Mhs. JESSIE
HARDY STUBBS, prominent suffrage leader.
"The panic of 1893, which began as
I have already stated, prior to that
time took place under a high pro
tective tariff If it 1b urged that in
1893 It wa* known that the Democrats
contemplated reducing the tariff, and
that this brought on the i*inio, we
may well reply that a majority of the
Senate wa* opposed in 1893 to tariff
legislation in full compliance with
Democratic principle*, and this fact
was generally known.
"To-day, a majority of both Houses
of Congress are known to be thor
oughly In aocord with the Democratic
principle of tariff reduction. Th«y
are on the point of passing legislation,
yet the business record of our coun
try for the past twelve months has
been one of prosperity and progress.
"I long for the prosperity of the en
tire country, for a prosperity which
will bring wealth not alone to a few,
but furnish a broad opportunity to
the gTeat masses of the people. The
doleful misrepresentation of rhe panic
of 1893 should cease. It has no hear
ing upon the present. To-day the
Treasury of the United States con
tains one billion, two hundred and
fifty millions of dollars In gold.
"It Is amply supplied with funds to
meet the wants of the government.
The Treasury Is so strong that it Is
able to furnish a hundred millions of
dollars to move the crops In the West
and the South. Conditions are reas
suring in all parts of the country.
Splendid crops are being gathered,
the exportation of which in part will
bring additional wealth to our people
and add to our gold supply. Doleful
countenances should give way to
smiles. The time has passed when
the people of this country will sub
mit ot the inexcusabaly high protec
tive tariff which even President Mc
Kinley condemned.
"It la true that some of our manu
facturing Industries will feel the spur
of competition where heretofore they
have been without it, but there is no
reason why they should fall to con
tinue in lines of prosperity with
broader trade Given no longer the
privilege of arbitrarily taking the dol
lars of their neighbors, they- will reach
still further into the markets of the
world for the sale of their commodi
ties.
"We may turn to the future with
confidence. The wrangling over the
bill is practically ended, and the busi
ness of the country will resume
norma! conditions with the passage
J. TltOMAS HEFLIN
Alabama Orator Stops Eulogies On King Cotton
to Deliver Philippics Against Suffrage
and Slit Skirts.
1 Lured by Promise of Title, Pater
son Woman Confesses She
of the bill."
Congressman J. Thomas Heflin, of
the Fifth District of Alabama, is the
silver-tongued, lusty-lunged spell
binder of Democracy. He is the By
ronic, Bryanic orator whose voice has
been raised in the hall of Congress
on every subject from the extermina
tion of the boll weevil to xne anni
hilation of the trust octopus. He has
gained national fame and the undying
love of his Black Belt constituents by
shooting at a Washington negro who
"sassed” him. It is plain that "Cot
ton Tom” has done much.
But the gentleman from Alabama
is nothing if not energetic, and so
pined he for new worlds to conquer.
Back he thrust a raven lock, and with
a glint of determination in his eye, he
sallied forth on a deed of new em
prise. Woman, frail woman, her fads
foibles, her faults and fancies, was
the windmill against which he would
shiver his lance. He would make his
war against the slit skirt, the diaph
anous dress, the equal ballot, and
other lunacies of the new woman.
And he has. They heard from him
first In Washington, when he said the
dress of the day was inspired by
"the evil genius of lustful fashion."
The big guns of his eloquence, that
once were trained on the bulls and
the bears of stock gambling, were
directed then with no less sincerity
against lighter things.
Find* Her New World,
Then he went to Lyn-chburg, Va.,
where he spoke before a Y. M. C. A.
gathering And he said:
"This woman suffrage movement
is the greatest peril now threatening
the English speaking people."
It seems that the doughty gentle
man from Alabama has irdeed found
a new world to conquer. The tongue
that once proclaimed the glory of
King Cotton is consecrated to the
crusade against woman, silly woman.
The accents that once awoke the
echoes in hill and dale of the Fifth
District, as it proclaimed falteringly
"Oh, My People,” now faltqjcd on a
new mission.
Not that the gentleman is without
chivalry. Listen:
"I stand with uncovered head at the
shrine of a gentle, modest woman
hood," he said In the Lynchburg
speech. "They are golden links if.
the endless chain of the Almighty’s
plan to people the earth with be
ings whom God with His own image
blessed."
It is worthy of Heflin at his best.
Can’t you hear the voice quaver, with
the same old tremolo effects? Mr.
Heflin is still the gallant Southron,
for all his mission agalns the frall-
tiesYof the gentler sex.
Suffragettes and modistes, they are
saying in Washington, w'ould do well
to run for cover, for "Cotton Tom”
is tireless. And these purveyors to
woman’s fancies are not the only sor
row-stricken multitude. Congressman
Thomas Heflin’s new crusade does
not lend Itself to anything that is
known of his repertoire of rather ex
cellent jokes.
Heflin Best Story Teller.
A plantation story Heflin-told is
the best remedy for dullness. Prob
ably further than on his eloauence
has Heflin traveled on his knack of
telling tales. But w ho can rehearse a
nigger camp meeting in a philippic
on fashions or a speech against suff
rage? It is duller now' in Washington,
they say, since "Cotton Tom" sallied
forth in vindictive quest of the mode
and the suffragette.
And how, they say, when he gets
back home in the Fifth, can he shout
at barbecues and schoolhouse rais
ings, as w'as his wont:
"Ah. mv people! I have worked
long and faithfully in your interests."
But he has found a new world to
conquer, and fearlessly has set out
to conquer it.
However, he is not going unchal
lenged. Already an answer has come,
an answer so heated and indignant
that it seems a sad day indeed for
the gentleman from Alabama when
he framed his new campaign, and
pulled down thereby the capable in
vective of American suffragettedom
on his head.
The answer comes from Mrs. Jessie
Harcly Stubbs, of the Congressional
committee of the National Suffrage
Association. It is Just such a clinch
ing answer that a confident suffra
gette would be expected to make, a
smiling, supercilious, "pity-the-mere-
man" kind of answer.
“Brother Heflin doesn’t mean any
harm.” says Mrs. Stubbs. "He’s just
ignorant."
Suggests Examination.
Take that, you foolhardy knight
errant, who would go out to fight the
noble causes of suffrage and slit
skirts.
Mrs. Stubbs suggests that Mr. Hef
lin. together with other Congressmen,
be forced to take a course in consti
tutional history. Certain incidents to
which he referred in his speech, she
said, were dead and done away with
years ago.
"Somebody ought to inform Mr.
Heflin that the world has moved on,"
she says. "I don’t believe he willfully
intends to misrepresent things.”
And so the Ciceronian gentleman
from Alabama is not going unchal
lenged. And not all suffragettes are
running to* cover.

An amendment was agreed to post
poning until September 1, 1914, the
time when the provision taxing all
cotton futures shall take effect.

police of Paterson, N. J., on a churge
of swindling Mrs. Charles Wolf, of
No. 232 Vernon avenue, that city. She
declares that, under his hypnotic in
fluence, she gave him $1,200 In cash,
jewelry valued at several hundred
dollars, her $300 piano, and was on
the verge of poisoning her husband
to get his $2,000 life insurance for the
bogus nobleman.
Peplnski claimed to be a Polish
count, and, according to Mrs. Wolf,
baited his trap for her with a prom
ise to make her a countess when her
husband was out of the way. She
has confessed that, with the assist
ance of Helen Jochnicwicz, a beauti
ful young woman companion of Pep-
inski, his alleged nurse, she actually
placed poison in her husband’s coffee
and his life was saved only because
he failed to drink it.

Economical
Piano Buying
Economy in buying- a piano consists of getting the best in
strument that can be made to sell at tlie price you want to pay.
It does not necessarily consist in obtaining an instrument at
a low price, because some pianos and player-pianos are expen
sive at any figure.
But there is a limit beyond which you can not go in the pur
chase of an instrument without paying too much.
You should expect to give what the piano is worth, but you
should also expect to get the full equivalent of your money.
That principle is the basis of our selling policy, and we are
prepared to show our patrons that every instrument is marked at
a fair price.
You can pay as much as $1,250.00 for one of our pianos, or
as low as $195.00. In any case you get the full value of your in
vestment. In other words, you buy economically.
Reliability is the key-note to be considered. The W. W. Kim
ball Company, of Chicago, are the world’s largest manufacturers
of pianos, player-pianos, residence and cliurcli pipe organs, and its
product is sold direct, eliminating the middleman’s profits,
through this Branch Store.
Our one, absolutely one, price insures the buyer of receiving
full value for his money. We wish to emphasize the fact that the
fixed price at which all of our goods are sold is based on an output
of 30,000 instruments yearly.
Our Exchange Department offers many attractive bargains
to those wishing either slightly used player-pianos, pianos or or
gans. Prices, in some cases, even less than actual cost of manu
facture.
