Colleagues Are Without Foundation—Sees a Reign of Plenty Throughout Nation. 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. PEW MOMENTS!

The Kimball Player Makes Each Mem ber of the Family a Musician 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.
