lumber tho whole northwest would
fcav Tone democratic.
Mr. Clark, amid &rcat democratic ap
plause, closed with reiteration of bifl
Btatemont that tho Payne bill, Instead
of lowering tho Dlnglcy rates, raised
them. Ho was on his feet ilvo hours
and seven minutes.
In a brief speech Mr. Washburn of
Massachusetts gave notice that should
an opportunity bo afforded ho would
submit an amendment striking from
tho bill tho provision for an inherit
ance tax. Its imposition, he dcclarod,
meant an extraordinary burden on the
country.
a general attack on the protective
Sollcy of the republicans was made by
Lr. Adamson of Georgia. What they
called protection, ho said, simply meant
meant fixing duties so high as to de
ny all tho markets of tho world to
the people of the United States, and
depriving them of the opportunity to
sell to all tho world their tnulti-mil-lions
of wealth, but on which they
could not realize on account of tho
tariff wall orected. Upon conclusion
of Mr. Adamson's remarks, the house
adjourned.
M
IA
SECTIONAL AND PROHIBITIVE
The one democrat on the ways
and means committee who agreed to
the republican tariff bill was Brous
sard of Louisiana. It will be remem
bered that he was one of the twenty-three
bolting democrats. Six
members of the minority of th com
mittee signed a report on the bill
which report Champ Clark present
ed to the house.
In concluding their report the
democrats say:
"Tho bill is in many respects crude,
Indefinite, sectional and prohibitive. It
seems to us, from our examination,
which was necossarily hasty, that on
tho whole it increases tho cost of liv
ing. For example, it will incrcaso the
price of hosiery about 30 per cent, and
certainly nobody will claim that
hosiery is a luxury in this day and
generation.
"All tho reductions, both apparent
and real, fall far short of the substan
tial relief which tho people were led
to expect. We do not desire to delay
the passage of the tariff bill and do
not propose to waste an hour, but,
having had no opportunity whasoever
to modify or amend it before it was
reported, wowill insist on having full
opportunity to amenI and debate it
paragraph by paragraph under tho
flve-mlnuto rule."
Consumer Pays the Tax
Mr. Clark's report starts with tho
assumption that the consumer pays the
tariff tax, and that tho function of a
tariff bill is to raise revenue for tho
support of tho government. It declares
that the bill should be so arranged as
to bring Into tho treasury the largest
result with tho least taxation on tho
necessities of life. The views of the
minority contemplate tho deficit re
ported by Chairman Tawney of the
appropriations committee, and recog
nize tho necessity of an increased tariff
revenue.
The report represents that, while
the republican members of the com
mittee spent three months In executive
session to frame tho bill, tho demo
cratic members wore allowed but five
days in which to draft their report
on it.
Tho minority regard the reductions
and redistributions of the tariff on
wool and woollens as not of particular
benefit to the people. Like tho reduc
tion In sugar, tho minority members
assert, the reclassifications in wool
will be of benefit to no ultimate con
sumers. Standard Handsomely Cared For
"The Standard Oil company," tho ro-
fort says, "is as handsomely cared for
n the Payne bill as in the Dlngley
bill, and by reason of the proviso pop
ularly known as 'the joker' continues
to be protected by a tariff duty of
about 99 per cent, which enables It
to dominate and exploit the American
market and to levy" tribute upon the
public, thereby piling up millions of
dollars of ill-gotten gains. Surely tho
Standard Oil, which openly and con
stantly defies the law, needs no pro
tection from tho government to enable
It to take care of itself: and the coun
tervailing duty ought to bo repealed."
"That the bill Is a sectional one," the
report continues, "is shown by tho fail
ure of the majority of the committee
to lift any burden whatever from the
shoulders of the southern farmer. The
grower of cotton must sell his product
in tho open markets of tho world. In
order, however, to benefit the manu
facturer of cotton the republican party
makes him pay a heavy tax, on every
pound of it that is exported and comes
back into the United States in tho
shape of manufactured goods. Thus
ho sells in free trade markets and
buys in a protected market.
Burdens Added
"Not only havo these burdens not
been lifted, but additional ones have
been placed on him. By a lately dis
covered process a fabric known as
nercerized fabric is now beinsr mad.
This la a very fine artido of cotton
goods, looking very much Ilk silk,
and Jui largely worn. In order to
furthsr enrich the manufacturer and to
further tax tho masses of the people
a $x.!,as V0Gn la,d upn these gooflB.
Cotton hoso havo fallen under tho
greedy gazo and tho tax on them, al
ready too much, has been greatly In
creased. Cotton goods aro moro gen
erally used than any other class of
goods by tho masses of tho American
people, and overy cent of duty laid on
such fabrics is an additional tax on
tho poople least able to pay It."
The reductions in Iron, steel and
giass aro not taken as bona fldo by
tho democrats, and their analysis of
the figures shows that the reductions
Jfl tho P.iu w111 not be of material bene
fit to the people. Tho minority mem
bers Insist that tho bill is still a pro
hibitive bill and that tho benefit of
reduced duties on steel will bo folt
neither by tho neonlo who huv stool
nPr by the government, which might
otherwise enjoy a revenuo from tho
importation or iron and stool.
Farmer GcIh AVort of It
Tho report addresses itself to tho
farmer, and tells him ho is getting tho
worst of it in tho bill.
,'ThJ?,Are.atmcnt ot tho farmer by
this bill," it says, "is along tho samo
linos as havo characterized republican
methods In tho past. Ho gets practi
cally no relief, and tho laborer and
producer have greater burdens Im
posed upon them, Tho cost of living
for tho average man is Increased; tho
advantage of wealth and power is also
Increased. Heavy taxes aro laid on
coffee, tea and substitutes for coffee,
which, with cocoa, .butter, mustard,
pepper, cinnamon and all sorts of
iiavors ror food, aro declared to bo
luxuries, wniio figs, lemons, etc., aro
raised in price without hopo of in
creasing tho revenue, barley Is re
duced 15 cents and barloy malt 20
cents, the reason for which it would
bo Interesting to know. Every artlclo
of food tho laborer must havo to Hvo
comfortably is heavily taxed; oven tho
salt on his table Is not exempt. This
schedule was evidently prepared by tho
same mind which has dominated the
bill a mind certainly not unfriendly
to tho great trusts."
Tho reductions In glass aro not re
garded as genuine by' tho democrats.
rnoy point out that tho revenues will
not bo increased by tho changes in 1
mo scneuuies, and that the people will
continue to pay high prices for tho
glass for their homes.
IIoiiHohoId Taxation
Getting down to household taxation,
tho report says:
"Tho tea tariff Is a tax of 8 and 9
cents per pound on consumption, and
is in direct contradiction of that 'frco
breakfast table,' about the blessings
or wnicn wo heard so much when raw
sugar was put on tho free list in tho
McKInloy bill. If a free breakfast
table was a desirable thing in 1890,
and it undoubtedly was, It Is an
equally desirable thing now. This tea
tax will probably bring into the treas
ury something like $7,000,000 per an
num, and it Increases the cost of liv
ing by the same 'amount. That sum,
or twice or thrice that sum, could have
been added to tho revenues by reduc
ing tho exorbitant rates on woolen
manufactures alone, and at tho same
time reducing the cost of living, which
has been Increasing to an alarming
extent in tho last few years.
Will ColTce Really Re Free?
"In paragraph 533, as to coffee, wo
find another Joker similar to tho one
as to petroleum. Ostensibly, coffee is
placed on the freo list, but by reason
of tho provision as to countervailing
duties it really places a tariff on cof
fee equal to tho export duty levied
upon it by tho exporting country from
which It comes. For example, if Bra
zil levies an export duty of 8 or 10
cents per pound, then wo must clap
a tariff rate of 8 or 10 cents a pound
on all coffee imported from Brazil,
which arrangement really authorizes
Brazil and other coffee-exporting coun
tries to fix our tariff duties on coffee.
This will not bring joy to the heart
of tho American coffee consumer, who
must pay both tho export duty levied
by tho other countries and tho import
duty levied by our own government."
At the first meeting, of tho, new
finance committee of the senate top'oy
It was agreed to tako up tho Payne
tariff bill tomorrow and consider the
various schedules In tho order In which
they appear in tho bill. Chemicals
como first. Tho indications are that
the republican majority of tho commit
tee will adopt Senator Aldrich's sug
gestion that rates of duty agreed upon
by them shall not be Incorporated in
the bill until the week in which the
bill is to be reported.

$655.20 From Two
Acres of Beans
On Sept. 11th, last, Mr. W. H. Rowell
planted 2 acres to winter beans, at Sof
bastion, In the Gulf Coast Country of
Texas. On Dec. 16th tho last ship
ment was made. From the 2 acres ho,
sold 840 1-3 crates at 78c a crato, or
$656.20, and kept $42.50 worth for
seed. The total expense of raising!
gathering and marketing the crop
was $228.80, leaving a clear profit
of $426.40.
Not bad for 3 months work and all
out of tho way in time to plant a crop
of onions or some other profitable
vegetable on the same land.
Aro you doing as well? Think what
you could do on 10 acres. It Is easy
you simply "mako garden" on a larger
scale any one can do it.
You can buy a fow acres on easy terms,
and tho first crop, if properly cared for,
should moro than pay for tho land.
Life in tho Gulf Coast Country of Texas
is pleasant the winters are mild the
summers aro pleasantly cooled by Gulf
breezes.
Investigate this proposition while the
land is within your reach next year it
will cost more.
Let me send you some further Informa
tion about the big profits growers are
making In the Gulf Coast Country of
