i Conversations with leading royn'.lsts do-
vclop the belief that President Cleveland
will endeavor to carry out his policy of re
storation , und that he will rccolvo sufficient
backing In the present congress to enable
him to do so. They admit that the entire
dependence of their cause rests now upon
th firmness displayed by Mr. Cleveland.
They admit that without the armed support
of the United States they have no
hopes of ro establishing the monarchy ,
and that without foreign nid they
have no hope of overthrowing the
government.
\VHlli Keeping Illfl Mouth Mint.
Mini-tier Willis has absolutely nothing to
say on the situation beyond a reiteration of
the statement thut ho Is awaiting further
Instructions from Washington , which have
been rendered necessary by certain contin
gencies which have arisen since his arrival.
What these conttugcncles arc no man
knows nflloinlly.
The royalists claim that if congress re
fuses to settle the matter'in favor of the ox-
queen , ns proposed by Mr. Cleveland , thu
Hawaiian affair is liable at nny moment to
assume International proportions and hint
that both England and Japan will take a
hand. But little credence Is given this view.
It Is le.irnod upon authority coming directly
from the cx-quccn's residence that after
her recent interview with Minister Willis ,
she at once went to British Minister Wode-
house ami thanked him for the advice ho
had previously given ns to how she should
conduct her negotiations with the United
States government through its Hawaiian
representative.
All efforts to find out the position to betaken
taken by the British in case trouble occurs
liavo thus far failed. Everybody connected
must bo lowered on our side , and in the last
analysis it will bo labor , and capital , in
the long run ; the loss of capital is also a loss
of labor ; for capital employs labor , and lost
with the British legation is ominously si
lent. Within the last iow dajs the British
cruiser Champion steamed out ostensi
bly for target practice , but she kept
within two miles of shore for over two
hours , taking Inland bearings and finally
Bteamo'i ' out about seven miles and began
target practice , after which she returned
suddenly to the harbor , having been away
p bout one-third of the usual time occupied
by British vessels upon such occasions.
This procedure has been variously com
mented upon by the royalists and nnnoxa-
tlonlsts.
IIII U Itnvcngefiil.
Inquiry into the ox-queen's policy io the
case of her restoration is outlined by several
of her leading politicians to bo ono in which
general amnesty will bo granted to her op
ponouts with few exceptions. After careful
Inquiry among the leading royalists these
exceptions were learned to bo President
Polo , Minister Thuraton , Attorney General
W. O. Smith nnd Chief Justice Judd of the
supreme court.
The annoxatioimts claim that the cx-
quean will never have a chance to wreak
revenge either on ; heso men or nny others
so long as there is an American nllvo in
Hawaii.
Considerable nnxloty hns been felt lately
owing to the renewed poor health of Presl-
'ilcnt Dolo. During the past week ho has
been resting at home and has not appeared
ut the foreign ofllco except In cases of ur
gency. His physician says that his health is
not seriously impaired.
Vi'heh last soon by the ropresenlatlvo of
the Associated press , the president expressed
the hope thut the congress of the United
States would aid Hawaii in reaching her
ultimate destlnv , from which ho believed
neither diplomatic Intrigue nor force could
long dotcr her , nntl ulllnncd thut
ho believed such steps would betaken
taken 'on thouponiug of that body as. would
douwnywith the , necessity of ihd provi-
ilonal government meeting the proposed
policy o ( restoravlon with force , which must
cortnluly result , if Cleveland's administra
tion .attempted to again -saddle a native
monarchy upon the white population of
Hawaii.
Among the annoxatlonlsts the idea of the
establishment of u commonwealth in Hawaii
in case the present government is left upon
its own resources seems to be taking deep
root. In case such plans should materialize
In the future the American model will prob
ably bo followed.

Dr. Charles F. Perkins completed today

the numerous wounds upon the head nnd

whether or not the large wounds on the
tcmplo and behind the oar had been made
before or after death ,
A scns.Ulon was caused in court during
this i1 ftcrnoon's session when the prosecu

it was oxpcctcd that she would be asked to
tcstlfv today. The defense immediately ob
jected to her testimony , nnd the Jury was

Attorney Scanlan , for the prosecution ,
begged the court to allow the witness to

is a question of only whether this woman
can testify nt all or not. Slnco 4 o'clock this

grandeur , attendance nnd good fellowship ,
far exceeds nny similar demonstration in
this city. The representatives of eory
class anl of both the great political parties

man who , so recently -was the
executive of the nation. Both houses of
the federal government were represented.
the Pennsylvania--executive nnd his official
colleagues , members of the legislature , prom
inent private eltizens , the mayor of this
city and distinguished visitors from many
states and municipalities were among the
throng of 1,500 people who crowded the hall ,
parlors ami reception rooms to grasp the
hand of General Harrison. Whitelaw Held
unu other men of world-wide fame , already
gathered hero. The house was profusely deco
rated with flowering plants and bunting and
various colored electric lights added to the
brilliancy of the scene.
At the end of the collation which followed
thu reception , District Attorney Graham of
Philadelphia county called upon Mr. Harri
son for u speech previous to which three
cheers had been given for the ox-p.rcsl.cnt.

If prices could bo exactly determined .It
would bo fair. But unfortunately prices nro
very much matters of Opinion , on which
honest men may differ much nnd rosrues

on the price , a cheat on the price is it clic.it

per yard nnd the duty is 23 per cent the cor
rect duty is fl.50. If the prlco bo Invoiced
ut $1.50 n yard the duty collected becomes
proportionately lower , and not only is the
Rovormnont cheated out of Its property but
the manufacturer is cheated out of the pro
tection his government has promised. This ,
therefore , is no theory. It is within the ex

cannot bo purchased at all in Europe can bo

Against the consideration of such a bill ,
malting such a deficit und leaving it unac
counted for. the minority vainly protested
when the bill was laid before the committee.
Who would dare , if of sound ami statesman
like mind , to make a deficit of ? ,000,000 and
blindly vote it , with no plun in sight to rroot
tno expenditures { That same protest wo
make to the house and to the country. The
bill ought not to bo reported without the in
ternal revenue bill , which is to make up the
deficiency.
llus Stirred the Cntlro Country.
Are we to pass the bill and then bo coerced
into the other ? Who knows if they wore
presented together that wo might not prefer
to stay where wo are ? The progress of this
attempt at what has boon called reform has
Already created such feeling that the coun
try is stirred all over. "When the scheme of
revising taxes by methods used in the. time

imposed , there may bo such further revul
sion of feeling us will accomplish the work
of defeating this bill.
While , ns party men , wo might rejoice at

in the commlttfPji ,1)111 , " is in some
respects the , imwt { reprehensible. It
proposes to destroy I at , a blow the
great Industry ot wool growing , which now
ranks as sovcntn iivtho'vuluo ' of Its products
umong the several' ' brtilchos of agriculture ,

Nothing short ofilhbtotal destruction of
this Important industry can bo counted upon
as the consc < iuotice'6.f.lAclng ' \ both wool and
mutton on the free list. It Is a fact , estab
lished by experience''that at the prices for
wool now prevailing ) u tliu foreign market
farmers cannot coajluuo the business of wool
growing without absolute yearly loss. Dur
ing the past year , owing to the impending
throat of free , wool uud a radical re
duction in woolen goods , ttio prices
of domestic wools of all descriptions
have fallen from SO to SO per cent below the
prices that prevailed u your ngo. Kven at
those figures there has been little market
for wool , and many farmers have still on
their hands this season's ' clip , whlph ut this
time of the year was being rapidly converted
into goods by mills which now stand Idle.
Offered a n Uacrlllce.
The value of the sheep has fallen equally
with the value of their clip. The deprecia
tion in the value of this spades of agricul
tural property from the two sources may bo
consorvatlvcly stated at $5,000,000.
The bill deal * with the wool manufacturer
In terms scarcely lens radical than , those ac
corded the wool growing industry , upon
which It so largely iloponds. It proposes to
revolutionize the manufacture , of woolen
good * by transferring It trom the bash of
dutiable materials to free wool , a chnngn
more radical than any toxttla Industry in
any country was over forced to make
without the most careful provision
for a sifo nnd gradual readjust
ment. Ignoring this fonturo of the
situation the majority would compel
our wool manufacturers to mnko this leap In
the dark divested of the safeguard of
specific duties nnd subjected to lower ad
vnlo-oms than will offset the difference Incest
cost of production. Wo have secured in the
United States n magnificent wool manu
facturing Industry , in which over ftOJ.UOO-
000 Is Invested , making every variety of
woolen goods nnd employing moro than
2.0,000 oporatlvQS. This Industry the maJority -
Jority offers up ns a sacrifice on the altar ot
"tariff reform. "
Tim time allowed by this hill Is of no moro
service than no Interval at nil , The manu
facturer must lose an entire season , for If
ho manufactures goods his loss will bo
greater than though ho kept his mills
closed , The terms of the bill are equivalent
to nn edict from the committee commanding
ovcry woolen manufacturer to shut down ,
nnd keep shut down until the bill becomes a
law , and turning thousands of operatives
into the streets.
The bill has bcon icarofufly devised , ap
parently for the purpose of crippling the
domestic manufacturer In advance of a now
tariff , so that ho will bo loft brulsnd and
broken when the time arrives for him to
begin competition for the market uudor
duties of from GO to 75 per cent loss than nt
present. The punishment meted out to our
wool manufacturers for daring to invest
their capital in this useful and important
industry is severe and condign.
lllnglcitl Churactor of the Hill.
The metal schedule presents some features
that illustrate in a significant way the illogical
"
ical character of the bill. Among these may
bo mentioned the substitution in almost all
cases of ail valorem for specific duties ; the
making free of a numoor of articles called
"raw material ; " the disregard of the rela
tions that exist between moro and less fin
ished products nnd the totally Inadequate
duties named upon cortim leading articles.
Some ideas sconi to have prevailed In the
minds of the majority to the effect that
duties should be adjusted in proportion to
The advance of the article In manufacture ,
the idea does not seem , however , to have
boon very successfully worked out. For
oxnmplo , iron ore is nuida f rcc , nnd reckoning
00 per cent of the tnotallle.lrot to a ton of ore ,
the manufacturer of pig iron Is given nn
advantage ns t6 duties of $ l.t5 ; a ton on his
product. But on the other hand , the
amount of protection thereon is reduced
about $1.50. The ingots , which are the raw
material of steel blooms , are made to boar a
duty ofo per cent nd valorem ; the blooms ,
which are the raw material of steel rails ,
bear the same dutv , and- the stool rails , the
last finished product , bear the same duty
also.
also.Such
Such Incongruities run all through the
schedule and , are apparent to any one
familiar with the processes and products of
iron nnd steel manufacture.
That which lies at the base of our iron and
steel Industry is iron ore. The existing duty
thereon Is 75 cents per ton. The revenues
from its importation , aggregated the
last fiscal year over 5500,000 , $507UTO. 19. It Is
proposed under a "tariff bill for revenue
only" to throw away absolutely every cent
of this largo reveauoby putting iron ere on
the free list.
Another Source of Revenue AfTectoU.
Having sacrificed over $500,000 per annum
of revenue to the vagary of free trade , the
"tariff bill for revenue only1' proposes to
affect another largo source of revenue by
serious reduction of the duties on pig iron.
That duty now is $ G.7a per ton. The duty
proposed is _ _ 54 per cent ad valorem , oir
about fl.CO to $1.00 per ton , a lower tariff
than was over before proposed on this arti
cle. That suggested by the Mills bill was ? 0
per ton. Under the tariff of 1840 the duty
was BO per cent ad valorem.
There are two provisions in the bill ,
which , when brought side by sldo , disclose
In a significant way its sectional character.
HOOD or band iron or steel bars , an ad
valorem of 3ft per centum'except ' as other
wise provided for. " The "othe.nvlso pro
vided for" has reference to iron or stool for
baling cotton , which are placed on the free
list.
list.Under
Under the existing law the duty on tin
plates Is 2.2 cents per pound. The duty at
first proposed by the committee was 40 per
cent ad valorem , but has bcon changed to a
specific duty of 1.2 cents per pound.
It will be observed that the proposed duty
is 1 cent per pound less than that of the
present law. This means a severe Dlow to
an enterprise which , undrr existing con
ditions , has grown to immense proportions ,
and which promises , under proper protec
tion , to bo one of the great Industries of the
country.
Duty 011 Steel Halls.
The present duty on steel rails Is $13.44 ,
and undcroxistlngconditions might safely bo
reduced , but the proposed duty of 25 per
cent ad valorem is indefensible. Some com
manding reason ought to bo presented for
such an immense cut in duty , greater than
any other proposed -by the bill. If stool
billets merit n uuty of 25 pnrcent , and
steel blooms n like duty , it would * seem to
go without saying that rails should bear a
higher rate.
In harmony with the doctrine of protec
tion the Fifty-first congress deemed it its
duty tn give protection to the growers of
cane and sorghum sugar by way of bounty ,
i'lio bounty provided by the law of 18'JO was
in the nature of a contract made with congress -
gross with each and nil persons who should
engage ; in the production of beet , cnno or
sorghum sugnrof certain saccharine strength
which shouldunder that contract , receive the
bounty provided for by an appropriation
from the treasury. Under the provisions of
this understanding largo amounts of money
have been invested and u larger amount of
sugar lias boon produced tn the United
States during ttio past three years than in
any similar number of years before in our
history. Especially is this the case with
boot sugar ,
liltuuiinnuH Coul.
Ono of the most amazing propositions of
the bill is that bituminous coal shall bo
placed on the free list and the millions of
dollars per annum ( almost ) that we recclvo
from its importation by way of revenue is
absolutely tin-own away. Coal has little
value snvo as it gets it from labor. It Is
worth almost nothing in the hills ; would bo
worth absolutely nothing wore It not for the
prospect of being mined. It is not n raw
material , for it is not wonted into any
further shape , but is consumed and done
for nt once. Call It raw material
in the hills , if you please ; it then
cuts no figure in n tariff bill , ICxcopt for a
bhort period , it has always borne a duty.
Under the revenue tariff of 1840 it bore a
duty of SO per cent nd valorem. No change
has boon made In the duty since 1872. The
Mills bill provided the sumo , rate as the
present law 75 cents per ton. Now It is
proposed to muko it froo. It is the most
universally prevalent of nil subjects of
American industry. There nro few states or
territories that an interference with It will
not affect.
