Representative from Ohio Give In
terview to United Press
(By the United Press)
WASHINGTON, June 26. Repre
sentative Buckley, of Ohio, a veter
an Democrat of the house bunking
committee, in an interview this morn
ins; with the United Press stated
that the explanations given to the
people of how the Wilson-Glass cur
rency bill would effect them have
not been simple enough to be wide
ly understood.
He gave a blrddeye view of the
results which will be achieved by
th measure, in which he said, "The
Wilson-Glass measure will free the
credits of the nation from the dom
ination of any business group. It
will place the ba-rk reserves where
:' y will do i dp most good. One
f 'ts most iuini.rtant effects will be
that it will prevent the piling up
of the country bank's resources in
Wall street, to support the stock ex
change operations and will enable
the small business man to obtain
credit as his business character will
merit. The national board of con
trol, provided for in the bill, will
prevent artificial panics, caused by
any group of financiers, for the
purpose of enriching themselves at
the expense of the laboring classes
and small buyers of securities.

THE TARIFF
By Congressman Clyde H. 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.
