Tavenner Washington, June 26.- "The trusts and combinations the communism of pelf whose machinations have prevented us from reaching the suc cess we deserved, should not be for gotten nor lorgiven." These are the words of Grover Cleveland. He was referring to tiie tariff lobbies which prevented the Democratic party from living up to its oampamn promises of 18U2. President Wilson no doubt had in mind what the lobbyists did to tiie Wilson democratic tariff bill in the Senate in 1894 when lie recently de nounced the lobbies operating in Washington. A review of what happened to die last democratic tariff bill as a ra suit of the work of the lobbU-3 v. h i. the msusure was In the Senate, is especially interesting at thia time when special privilege Is trying o perform the same old trick of rob bing the consumers of the fruits of their victory at the polls. On December 1!. IS!;;, Chairman Wilson of the Democratic Ways and Means Committee reported his tar iff revision downward bill to Hie House of Representatives It wa a fulfillment in nearly every particultr of the promises made by the do, no crats in the campaign of 1892, which brought about their election. Al though denounced by the more par tisan republicans as a free trade measure It was In reality but a con serv-tive step in the direction of freer trade, and was well recei . ej by the democratic party throughout the country. It made rather oioder ate reductions in the duties on wool en goods, cottons, linens, silks piK Iron, steei billets, steel rails, china, glassware, and earthenware. It re moved entirely the taxes on wool, coai, Iron ore, lumber, aud on sugar bo'h raw and refined. The bill passed the House Febru ary 1, 1894, by a vote of 182 to 106, sixty-one members not voting. But In the senate, special privilege attacked the bill ferociously, power ful lobbies being conducted day and nlgjy Certain democratic senators, foremost among them Gorman of Maryland and Brice of Ohio, forgot the solemn pledges of the democrat ic convention of 1892 and rendered most efficient services to the pro tected interests. The work of the lobbies had their effect. The special interest servers in the senate obtained one amend ment after another, each one restor ing a part of the remitted duties. In ail, the senate made 634 changes m the House measure destroying en tirely its original character. The people were cheated out of their victory at the polls. Special privil ege had stepped in, and, via the lob by route, had defeated the interests of the people. The bill was passed but President Cleveland refused to sign It, allowing It to become a law without his signature. EPISCOPAL CHURCH TO BE CONSECRATED Next Sunday morning Rev. Wm. H.
