resolution, with instructions that an
official copy be transmitted to Sena
tor Van Wyck :
Jlesolved, That it is the cense of this
house that the Hon. Charles H. Van
Wyck, for his manly and able effort
in the United States senate in favor of
free lumber, is entitled to the thanks
of this house and the country at large.
Virtue has been rewarded. The
Rev. James Morris has been appoint
ed register at Valentine, Sioux coun
ty. Mr. J. Wesley Tucker, who was
an able lieutenant of Mr. Valentine in
the late campaign, has been appointed
receiver at the same place. Peace,
like a dove, hovers over our outgoing

al congress.
A call has been signed by parties
from all parts of the country for hold
ing a conference at Chicago on the
4th of July, ?S3, on a basis of four rep

four from the District of Columbia.
The principles announced in the call
are "opposition to confederated mo

tective tariff", favoring the election of
the president and vice president and
senators by a direct vote of the people."

The break occurred at midnight.
Mauy houscH were destroyed, and
thope who escaped only saved their
lives.
Ji'Dging from the testimony taken
in the investigation of the ill treat
ment of patients in the insane asylum
at Lincoln we have uo hesitation in
pronouncing the attendants and su
perintendent unsuitable to have
the care and management of the un
fortunate inmates. There is no valid
excuse on the part of the superin
tendent that he has not witnessed
such cruel treatment. No superin
tendent should fail to know that bis
attendants at the asylum are in the
habit of kickiug, punching in the
stomach and bowels, choking, knock
ing down and slappiug in the face
and on the head ; we summarize one
of the cases an unfortunate patient
had a fit; two of the attendants jump
ed upon him, one of them straddling
him, sitting down on bis breast, the
other having hold of him by the
knees, the one who was straddling
him taking both thumbs and putting
them on the patient's throat, the other
meanwhile pinching and striking bun
- wherever he could get a chance ; the
"one who was straddling him jerked J
him up and told him to put on his
slippers; the patient could not stand
alone ; the attendants put on his slip
pers and pushed him up to the door.
Then he slung the patient down again.
There was blood on the patient's
mouth and noBe. Should the super
intendent fail to know of such things
transpiring in the institution under
his control, it shows criminal neglect
on his part. We cannot bolieve that
Dr. Mathewson ib a cruel, heartless
man, but he may leave too much to
subordinates.

Extract from Speecke ol'IIoa.
7. H. Taa Wyck, .lebnw-
ka,iH the deaateofthe
Uaited States.
( Continued from last week's istue.)
My friends say they have reduced
the duties on iron and steel and Borne
other things which he enumerated;
and yet I ask him if it is not the fact
that that quality of steel from which
agricultural implements are made,
which enters into machinery, has not
been increased instead of being re
duced by this bill which my friend
from Vermont proposes here ? I ask
him if the duty on the wire from
which the barbed fence is madu,which
the farmer must use on millions of
the acres of the West, is not really
increased by this bill ? I ask him if
on other articles this very same bill
does not increase the duty, though
they are matters of prime necessity.
Lumber is a matter of prime necessi
ty ; barbed wire is a matter of prime
necessity ; steel which enters into the
manufacture of machinery is a matter
of prime necessity; and yet lumber
has not been touched or reduced a
farthing, and the duties on the other
articles ot prime necessity havo really
been increased in this bill.
I was saying that it cost probably
as much to manufacture lumber in
Canada as in the United States, be
cause I thought that they had not ad
vantages of machinery equal to ours
in America. I find in that am cor
roborated by the commission's report.
The report presents good, sound doc
trine not particularly of the Republi
can party. We are not speaking of
this in a partisan sense. This is a
question which reaches beyond all
party and all party considerations,
and I only alluded to such' matters
incidentally.
These gentlemen in this report ar
gue juBt as I am arguing to-day, that
there is a necessity for a reduction of
the tarifl rates upon articles of prime
necessity ; aud if 1 stand there with
them, certainly I ought not to be
questioned, nor ought I to be ques
tioned from a political standpoint,
because I am acting iu full accord
with the Republican platforms of
1870 aud 1880; and the platform of
1872 not only says 1 am correct in
what I am now saying, but that the
main purpose of the tariff was ree
enue. I would understand from the posi
tion of the Senator from Michigan
now that he is for protection. The
Republican party has nowhere sub
scribed to the. doctrine of laying tariff
duties for the sake of protection.
Revenue is the first primary consid
eration, and gentlemen must not find
fault with me if I choose to stick as
long as possible to the old tenets and
the old doctrines of the Republican
party. The very poiut I
was making a few moments ago in
regard to the bill proposed by the
Tariff Commission is that they
Keen the word of promise to our ear,
And break it to our hope.
After the Tariff Commission plant
ed themselves on the doctrine which
the American people believe in, then
they present a bill and the Finance
Committee present a bill which in fact
increases many of the duties upon
articles of prime necessity. 1 was
undertaking to illustrate that, and I
may do it more hereafter. With this
declaration on their lips they bring in
the bill before us ; and in their report
they content themselves with speakr
log of the subject of lumber in four
lines, which I read on Saturday. All
they Bay is that the. duty should be
untouched, and standing upon their
own argument in their report wp fftU
to understand bow, in the matter of
lumber, tncy could consistently say
that the duties ou that should not be
touched. That is the very point I am
making to show the inconsistency of
this commission.
Mr. CONGER. After all their con
sideration they 6aid that in their
judgment the duty on Inmber should
remain as it was.
Mr. VAN WYCK. Precisely.
There 1 arraign the commission for
inconsistency and incongruity. While
they, argue the necessity of reduction
they faU when it is to bo put into ex
ecution. They have so framed this
bill aa to increaso the duties of the
former tariff on articles which are
actually absolutely necessary.
Mr. CAMERON, of Wisconsin. The
Senator will observe that he is at the
same time arraigning the Committee
on Finance, which considered the bill,
considered this whole matter, and re
ported the bill to the Senate. That
committee agree with the Tariff Com
mission. Mr. VAN WYCK. I do not go
quite so far, I will say to my friend
from Wisconsin as to arraign the
Committee on Finance, for I do not
understand the Committee on Finauce
to subscribe to the doctrines laid
down in the report of the Tariff Com
mission. Mr. CAMERON, of Wisconsin. No
matter what doctrines are laid down
in that report, the Finance Committee
reported the bill to the Senate, retain
ing the present duty on Inmber.
Mr. VAN WYCK. Certainly, that
is so. I was talking of the Tariff
Commission. I wad justifying my
own course not only by the platform
ot the Republican party but by the
report ot the Tariff Commission itself,
and I wanted to show that I was try
ing to carry out what I believe, and
that the Tariff Commission were not ;
and if the Finauce Committee of this
body subscribe to the doctrines laid
down in the report of the Tariff Com
mission then they are as inconsistent
and as guilty of incongruity as the
Tariff Commission itself. Faith with
out works is dead. That was the
point I was trying to make ; that this
was intended as a blind, merely a
sort of subterfuge intended to show
"how not to do it," pretending to re
duce the tarifl' and not doing it.
Now, I say to my friends unless we
make a substantial reduction of the
tarifl duties wo had better close this
bill. Taking this bill, the people at
home can not see that there is any
reduction of the tariff when they sup
posed we were pledged to it, and they
can not put their finger on a reduc
tion to benefit them. I ask my friends
what'answer shall we make when the
people undertake to arraign us again
as they have arraigned us in the past,
and call us to account for what we
may have done ? Sir, let us have a
tariff bill that will substantially re
duce duties whereby the people shall
be benefited; but this is so glaring
that it illustrates the very point 1 was
trying to make, that in the very mat
ter of lumber more than any other
single article, more than in barbed
wire, more than in any species of iron
wire, more than in any other article
in this bill from the beginning to the
end, the people imperatively demand
a reduction of the duty upon lumber.
Therefore when this commission have
said what they have, and presented
such a bill as they have, and when the
Committee on Finance have presented
the bill and stricken off not a farthing
from this hard, unjust tax, I have a
right to arraign the commission and I
have a right to give the reasona why
I insist that there shall bo a reduction
here.
My friend says there is no appre
hension ; they will last fifty years ; the
Census Bureau says eight, but my
friend says fifty ; there is no cause for
apprehension, yet the President of the
United States says there is cause for
serious apprehension
and their total extinction can not long be
delayed unless better methods than now
prevail shall be adopted for their protec
tion and cultivation.
1 am fortunate to stand on the plat
form of the Republicau party three
time6 enunciated ; 1 am fortunate to
stand on the report of the Tariff Com
mission ; and I am still more fortunate
to stand on the declaration made in
regard to this matter by the President
of the United States. Let these gen
tlemen, if they will, tear themselves
away from the Administration which
they helped to create and which they
profess to love. 1 say, then, there is
danger, there is serious apprehension ;
and we are spending thousands of dol
lars a year to preserve the forests of
this country. We arc doing more, we
are giving away our public domain ;
we are giving away land valued at
$1.25 or $2.50 per acre to men who
will go and agree to plant a few rows
of treeB upon it$200or $400 iu value.
We give $400 in land to an individual
if he will undertake to go and actually
will go and plant a few trees upon it.
And yet gentlemen Bay there iB no
cause for apprehension ; but the Pres
ident of the United States says there
is a cause for apprehension.
1 desire any gentleman to give one
reason why this tax on lumber should
be retained. The price of lumber has
been increasing from year to year.
Mr. CONGER. No, sir.
Mr. VAN WYCK. In what year
did it not increase?
Mr. CONGER. It has been de
creasing. Mr. VAN WYCK. When did it
commeuce to decrease ? Take the last
crop of lumber.
Mr. CONGER. The last crop was
between now and last spring.
Mr. VAN WYCK. I do not think
auy persons who bought lumber were
aware of the tact that the price had
decreased. I can say without fear of
successful contradiction that the price
ot lumber has increased year after
year until now it iu almost enough to
prevent persons who have gone out on
the prairies and made the Northwest
ern States what they are, who have
made Iowa and Wisconsin, too, not
withstanding its pineries, what they
are, aud made Kansas aud Nebraska
what they are from purchasing to the
extent of absolute' necessity. The
men who have gone out lately have
been under the necessity of putting
themselves in dug-outs or mud cabins,
until they can save enough possibly
to buy a thousand or two thousand
feet of boards to put up a building to
protect themselves and families from
the storm. It is one of the absolute
necessities of lite, and when men in
Kansas, Nebraska, or Iowa are com
pelled to pay from one dollar to three
and a half dollars duty on lumber they
use in building their houses aud out
bouses it is a hardship that should not
be tolerated. We are asked to adopt
tariff laws to protect infant industries;
and yet this ba6 almost passed away
and soon will be obliterated as an in
dustry of the American people, and
yet with it all no reason can be found
by the Tariff Commission or Finance
Committee why its protection should
be reduced even a farthing so that the
people may haye the benefit of this
article at a less price.
My friend says they have a tariff in
Canada. There are a great many
strange things about all this matter.
In the first place we must have a tariff,
they 6y, to keep Canadian lumber
ont because it can be manufac
tured cheaper than ours; and then
the Canadians must have a tariff to
keep American lumber out. Why?
If the Senator is correct, why does
Cauada want a tariffon lumber? Why
does Canada want a tariff on lumber
if it is true that lumborcan be manu
factured more cheaply in Canada than
in the United States? Will the gen
tleman tell mc why Canada wishes a
tariff on lumber to keep out American
lumber, if it be true that lumber can
be furnished cheaper in Cauada than
in the United States? 1 pause for a
reply if the gentleman will be so kind
as to give it.
Mr. CONGER. I suppose the Sen
ator must know if not I am very
much surprised that a very large
portion of the Canadian lumber ex
cept whatsis needed for consumption
within the provinces is shipped to
Europe. The effort heretofore has
been for lumber contiguous to the
Saint Lawrence or the lakes to be
purchased by Canadian purchasers to
be shipped to Europe as a Canadian
product. Canada saw fit to impose
tariff duties upon many such products
as came in. There has always been
some tariff upon lumber and there has
always been an export duty upon
Canadiau lumber. They have trans
ferred now the export duty on lumber
shipped from Canada and made it an
import duty upon American lumber.
But this is the maiu reason why
lumber from the States should go into
Canada: In Manitoba, where there
are great settlements and a large num
ber of buildings going up there is no
pine accessible except what comes
from the United States by any means
of transportation available there. The
lumbermen of Minnesota have to pay
20 per cent, upon their lumber taken
into Manitoba to supply the market
where there is no home production.
It must come from the States, if at all.
In the southern portion of Canada
West there is no pine ; it can be ob
tained from the States, from the Saint
Clair River, cheaper than it can from
Georgian Bay. They put on a dnty to
get a revenue and protect their inter
est. We put it on to protect our iu
terest and for the revenue.
Mr. VAN WYCK. The Senator
says Canada imposed thte duty tor the
purpose of revenue, when, if his other
position be true, it is utterly impossi
ble they can ever get a dollar of rev
enue, because he says they can turn it
out more cheaply than iu the United
States. I said my opinion was it
would cost probably as much, and the
facts justify me in the assertiou. The
fact that Canada imposes a duty to
keep out American lumber from Can
ada except on the payment of a duty
establishes that fact clearly, so that I
am sustained in what I say, that the
manufacture of lumber in America
costs about the same as in Canada.
I uudcrstood one proposition the
Seuator (Conger) made, which was
that the laborers, the men who came
from Canada in his pathetic picture of
the winter midnight scene, with their
axes strapped ou their backs, and his
neighbors in Michigan barely got
enough to keep the wolf from the
door; but when I ask him as to the
condition of the owners of pineries in
Michigan and the other States, my
friend has not discovered that ex
treme degree of poverty, or I know
he would have expressed it. There
is where all the trouble is. There is
where it is in your heavy iron estab
lishments. Men use the pretense of
giving the laborer a few pence more
a day for his labor. I notice on all
these questions that these gentlemen
are very patriotic, very philanthropic,
and very generous on that branch of
the case; all their interest is centered
in the benefit of tbo laboring man ;
and they look on him as Lazarus.
They think the way to save Lazaros's
life is to see that the rich man's table
is full, becauso then the crumbs that
fall therefrom go to Lazarus. That is
about the way it is; keep the rich
man's table well filled, my friend
says ; oh yes, and then the Lazaruses
big and little in the pineries of Michi
gan can get the crumbs from the rich
man's table.
I was trying to show that there was
no necessity to continue this duty
where it stands. The Senator docs
not 6eem to know what the tariff is
intended for in Canada. Do yon
know what it is intended for in the
United States? For the life of them
they can not tell what it is intended
for in Canada; but there it is. It
seems to be a game of open and shut
in the case of the owners of pineries
in Canada and the United States. The
owners of pineries in Canada hold the
Canadian Government by the throat,
aud the owners of pineries in the
United States hold the United States
Government by the throat.
My friend from Maine Mr. Hale
very triumphantly said on Saturday
that the log comes in free. When I
was telling him of the hardship ot
some poor man on the plains of the
West who had not money enough to
buy a thousand feet of lumber, my
friend from Maine said "Ob, the log
comes iu free." I asked him what
sort of comfort or consolation that
was; bow the lone citizen on the
prairie could appreciate the great care
and consideration of h)6 Government
for him in helping him to go into the
markets of the world and buy what
he could the cheapest, when it told
him if he did not like to pay the duty
on a thousand feet of lumber he could
go to Canada and bring the log in
free. I find on looking at the Cana
dian laws that the thing has been
fixed ; that matter is settled ; Canada
has fixed it that the log can not come
out free. Now, will my friend from
Maine say the log can come into the
United States free? My friend from
Maine said it came iu free, but he is
not here. Will my friend from Mich
igan tell me whether the log can
come in free?
Mr. CONGER. It is in the bill
right before the Senator that the log
shall come in free.
Mr. VAN WYCK. Yes, the log
Bhall come in free, and that is another
mysticism of the tarifl system. When
I ask my friend if the log can come in
free, he can answer yes or no; but he
says the tariff allows it to come in
free. I say to him the log can not
come in free. You say that the man
who is building a little shanty can go
and get his logs free ; bnt I say he can
not get bis logs free. The lumber
man of the United States and Cauada
have fixed that. The Canadian Gov
ernment BtepB in and says, at the in
stance of her pine-owners, that logs
taken out of Canada shall pay a duty
of $1 a thousand feet, Now I ask
again the question of "my friend, can
the log come in free. By this tariff
manipulation you have it so that a
man can not even go and get his log
free. Therefore the theory of my
friend from Maine is gone, and the
argument of my friend from Michigan
is gone. The log does not come in
free. As I have said, there is no sort
of pretense of any necessity to con
tinue this enormous duty.
Mr. President, I think I have said
all that is necessary on this poiut. I
kuow I have not delayed the Senate
Finance Committee. I ask pardon of
the Senate for having spoken so long,
but I have been doing a favor to the
Finance Committee, because I under
stand that the gentleman who is the
chief instrument of the commission
op the iron interest has sot got
through yet, and therefore I have uot
iuterfered with the committee or de
layed them while I presented these
few considerations to the Senate.
Gentlemen talk about protectiug
labor. It is well to protect labor, but
when you are considering a few
thousands engaged in the lumber dis
tricts of the North I .ik you to think
of the hundreds of thousands of labor
ing men in all the praiiie States. Do
you protect labor? The hundreds of
thousands in the prairie States are
not considered iu the making up of
this bill, men to wln.m the nation is
more indebted than to all your rail
roads and other corporations, men
who have taken the flag of the coun
try and gone into its wilderness in
advance and planted it on every
prairie and by every water-course.
These men have gone from the old
States; they have gone by thousands,
having many of them but shattered
constitutions after service in the
Army ; and I ask you in the name of
American industry whether we shall
consider their case, whether we shall
protect the industry which has. made
Iowa what it is, which has made
Kansas what it is, which has made
Nebraska what it iB, which has made
Wisconsin what it is? I ask you if
we shall protect the pine interests, or
enable the people now wheu the piue
interests are nearly gone to have the
advantage of the markets of the
world where they can buy the
cheapest?
