The Wilson bill pissed the house
Thursday by a vote of 203 to 140. Let

the Wilson bill is tie only measure
which will afford the desired article.
That month of a republican mayor
in Chicago has left a deficit of nearly
$2,000,000. At least the deficit was
there when Mr. Hopkins came in, and,
according to the Washington logic of

responsible for it.

corded in the negative. The Wilson
bill is as certain as fate to pass the
senate.
WilliamL. Wilson has endangered

CAI'ITAI. CORRESPONDENCE.
Washington, I). C. Feb. 3, 1894.
Political skies have greatly cleared up
hereaways since the passage by the
house of the Wilson bill with the in
come tax I ill attached. It is conceded
that the latter is a great saving clause
in labor union circles, aim it must like
wise be popular with faimeis, who, for
thirty years, have been systematically
rot bed by the tariff barons, who have
become prodigiously rich off their plun
dering. The scene in the house on the day of
its passage was the grandest ever seen
on the floor, and attracted the largest
crowds ever seen on the occasion of
legislative action. The great names,
Reed, Crisp and Wilson, together with
the termination of a debate of a month's
duration, were the drawing cards, and
all the members brought their wives,
daughters and sisters and they were
admitted to the floor filling every pos
sible seat, desk, nook aud corner of the
house. The galleries, too, were crowded
to snffication, and literally thousands
filled the corridors, unable to get in.
Mr. Reed opened with a speech of an
hour and a half, Speaker Crisp follow
ing for an hour and Chairman N ilson
closing in a half-hour's effort. The
scene that took place at the close of
Mr. Wilson's speech beggars descrip
tion. The whole audience seemed to
have gone wild with enthusiastic ex
citement, and cheered and shouted
themselves hoarse in their demonstra
tions of delight, and amidst it all Mr.
Wilson was picked up on men's
shoulders and carried out. Then came
the voting on amendments, and in the
course of two hours the bill was passed
the sugar democrats of louisiana
and the anti-income taxers of New
York, Massachusetts and Connecticut
being the only bolters from their party
ranks seventeen of them altogether.
In voting on the income tax amend
m nt, thirty-two democrats voted
against that, but nearly half of them
fell into line for the bill including
Cockran. From this out interest on
the tariff will center in the senate,
which body now has charge of the bill.
There the republican members will try
to delay action by insisting on and en
deavoring to secure bearings on behalf
of all the tariff beggars in the country
just as action in the house was de
layed a month by virtue of the same
process. These hearings are unreliable
at the best, and only result in wasting
time as was so clearly shown in the
casa of the coll-tr and cuff makers of
Troy by Mr. Bryan in his tariff speech.
That industry sent its representatives
before the house committee, and they
made long written state m nts of the
capital invented, the value of the pro
duct turned out, the number of em
ployes, the rate and the amount of
their wages per year, for the year end
ing October, lS93,and on investigation
Mr. Uryan learned that these concerns
had been before the seDate in 18S8,
when that body was considering the
Mills bill, and gave precisely the same
state of facts, including the number
employed, the amount of wges i.id
and value of product for the year 18S7.
The fraud thus perpetrated is no doubt
on a par with many others of the
"facts" piesented before these con
gressional committees. The whole
thing is a farce, only intended to furnish
campaign thunder and to put off the
day when the tariff barons will have to
give up their rpecial perquisites or
privileges of having laws passed for
their especial benefit.
Hawaiian matters have received at
tention in the house for the past three
days, and the debate has proven much
more interesting than on would sup
pose. At first the republicans had it
all their own way, but lately, like a

sleeping lion, the democrats have
awakened aud pi'.en their opponents a
taste of their metal. It has teen show n
that the scheme of Stevens and the
promoters of the "provisional" govern
ment secured con'rol of over 99 per
cent of the laud on the islands, and
that the scheme of annexation was
hatched by the owners of these lands
and the sugar-growers, who, under the
McKinley act, had been deprived of the
advantage of free trade in sugar with
the United States, while sugar from
Cuba paid a duty of 2 cents a pound
These Hawaiian sugar kings saw that
by annexation they could get the
benefit of the siuar bounty afforded by
the McKinley act which would afford
the ring a benefit of some $5,000,000 a
year.
Another fact was brought out that
the missionaries, who went there some
fifty to seventy years ago, and their
sons, have been so thrifty as to become
very wealthy and are largely the own
ersof the soil, while the native element
is in a condition of extreme poverty
and are really in slavery to the whites.
The committee has reported against
annexation, and congress will favor al
lowing the Dole government to conduct
its own affairs and work out its own
salvation.
This week Wednesday the evangel
ists. Moody and Sankey, will begin a
series of meetings, lasting probably a
month, in the convention hall, which
seats 9.000 people. A local choir of
1,500 voices has been organized to lead
the music.
The president is still slow about fill
ing the postoflices with democrats.
The postmaster general has recom
mended 7.50O postmasters, w hose com
missions are in Mr. Cleveland's hands,
but he is holding them bacn for reasons
best known to himself. I am led to be
lieve the Plattsmouth appointment
will be made within a day or two and,
unless I am deceived, it will be Mr.
Butler. I really expect this appoint
ment to be made public before this let
ter reaches the public eye. C. V. S.

The placiDg of sugar on the free list
will crush the sugar refining trust,
one of thf greatest monopolies, if not
the -.re itest, on the face of the earth.
The trust was of benefit to the whole
salers and jobbers because it protected
them from a fluctunting market, it
having such control over the trade as
to arbitrarily fix and maintain prices.
Some jobbers complain because the
trust is to be smashed and talk as if it
was a blessing to the people as well as
to themselves to have such a trust.
The sugar trust has grown fat on
somebody and as the jobbers are stand
ing up fr it it did not grow fat on
them. The deduction tp therefore that
it has grown fat on th pet pie. And
how fat? In 1S02 the m gar trust de
clared a dividend of 9 per cent n the
common and 7 per cent on the pre
ferred stock In Mi.rcb, 1893, an
extra dividend of 10 r er cent was de
clared, besides a quarterly dividend of
3 per cent was declared. The next
special dividend, which is due and
would have been declared but for the
fact that congress is in session, will no
doubt be still greater. This dividend
is declared on a capital stock watered
up to $80,000,000, when in fact the
plant is not worth over $20,000,000.
Basing the earnings on the actual
amount involved the sugar trust has
earned over 32 per cent upon its stock
annually. This enoimou profit is not
legitimate, and could only be realized
by the absolute dissipation of competi
tion and arbitrary control of the mar
ket and trade. The sugar refining
trust is a hydra-headed monster and
its destruction must of necessity mean
a great deal for the people. And it is
doomed.
The most painful strain in all the
hard time politics is the effort to make
a Moses of Tom Reed.
a uor.i s democrat.
The attitude of the New York Sun
and its editor toward the democracy
has not ordiuarily been that of an open
assailant, but of vn asss'ii . It is not
often that Dr. Dana breaks loose in
such manner as the following, which
.appears in the Sun of Saturday:
"The democratic representatives from New
York who Ntood up in the house against the
communistic sentiment of the populist nd so
cialist majority were rewarded for tneir fidelity
to democratic princlle by the jeers of thut
1 mob of democratic traitors. No true democrat
and no true American would have received the
applause of that communistic gang. Its favor
was an insult and Its reproLntion was an honor
able distinction. The Wilson bill is
not a democratic measure. From top to bottom
it outrages democratic cotivictit us and betrays
the democratic pledge. To tuppoit it is to for
feit the title to the nume of iem rat. To spurn
it is to deserve that glorious title. The in
equality of its discrimination aud class taxation
is communistic, not democratic, it is a scheme
of legislation against which the whole history
of the democratic party is arrayed; against
which every vital principle of the democratic
party makes war. It flouts the American con
stitution and subverts the political principle of
this republic. Ii is rotten in its foundation and
in its whole structure. There is not a democratic
stone in the monstrous edifice. Happily the
senate stands between the democratic purty and
the ruin which would follow the enrollment of
that iniquitous measure on the statute book of
the republic."
Dr. Dana's rage aud disgust with the
democratic party afford to him an oc
casion for severing his connection vith
that partyr if, indeed, a connection can
be severed which never had an exis
tence in fact. He can well be spared
For nearly twenty years the kindliest
service he has done the party has been
to stab it in the back; his friendliest
word a sneer to be quoted in the repub
lican press and credited to the 'New-
York Sun (dem.)" Who, the younger
generation of voters may well ask, is
this Dana who instructs the demo
cratic party in democracy, who talks
o' broken pledges, who calls the ma
jority of the people's representatives in
congress a '"mob ot tiaitors" and com
munists ?
He is a politician and a philosopher
who in a long and active life has tried
about every school of politics and
philosophy except the democracy. He
is the man who began life, alter
graduating at Harvard, in the com
munistic colony of l5rook Farm. Sub
sisting for a reason on herbs and
wearing transcendental linen trousers
with Bronson Alcott and other cranks
of that ilk, be imbibed the principles
which ruled his life so long as he re
mained hones-t. Eatei he cast in his
lot with the whig and afterward the
republican party. He supported Hen
Butler, the gieenback anarchist, in
18S4, having in the previous campaign
knifed Geu. Hancock and covered his
canvass with ridicule. Not since 1S"6
has he given aid or comfort to a demo
cratic candidate for president. Not in
all bin life In he drawn a democratic
breath or defended a democratic prin
ciple. His latter days have been given
over to the most shameless harlotry
with the scarlet women of Wall street
and the defense of the worst elements
in Tammany hall. He moved for a
public statute to VV HJiaui M. Tweed
and has extolled a succession of public
robbers, all of whom have died iu exile
or in the penitentiaiy. Boss C rcker is
to him a model of all the private and
public virtues.
It is this suckling communist,
turned federalist, turned whig, turned
republican, turned greenbacker, turned
corruptionist, who rants at the Wilson
bill and presumes to read out of the
democratic p arty men who weie demo
crats when he was still taking lessons
in federalism of Horace Greely. He
has done his best to betray the party
into the hands of the enemies of the
people, and he has failed. The demo
cratic party takes its instructions from
the people, not from treacherous
hirelings of Wall street; those instruc
tions they have carried out. Though
Dana may have his thirty pieces be
cannot consummate the betrayal.
Realizing this he breaks out in this
mad and incoherent ranting which is
quoted above.

supposing all senators to be present
and voting. There are forty-four
democratic senators and three popu
lists. The latter may reasonably be
expected to vote for the Wilson bill,
with the income tax added to it, and
their votes will more than offset any
probable democratic defection. That
there will be some votes cast against
the measure by democratic senators is
highly probable, but it is probaMe too
that some republican votes may be
cast in its favor. There will he long
and stilted debate in the senate, bn
the chances are that the measure will
become a law substantially as it now
stands.
It tr:ay be that C nressman Bryan
is so Rcaall in ashington that he can
not dictate any postoflice appointments,
but he is bis. enough to draw the big
