MR. WILSON'S WORK FOR TARIFF
REFORM.
Wo have loug regarded Mr. Wilson's
appearance to close the debate ou his
tariff reform bill as one of the finest in
cidents in the history of the house , and
probably equalled by nothing since Wil
liam Pitt was carried to the House of
Commons to deliver his speech denoun
cing the war on the American colonies.
Mr. Wilson was still weak from the
ravages of fever. In addition to that ,
ho suffered a most painful neuralgic
attack. But on August 15 , 1894 , he was
helped to the House of Representatives ,
and he made the closing appeal to his
colleagues in favor of reduced taxation.
With his throbbing head swathed in
bandages , and with his eyes covered
from the light by a handkerchief , and
with every fibre of his -body either weak
ened by disease or palpitating with pain ,
ho stood in the house and reminded his
colleagues , in the words of Burke , that
the "battles of civilization were fought
around the question of taxation , " and
summoned the democratic members to
answer the roll-call of freedom which
the Wilson bill , with all its imperfec
tions , granted the American citizen.
The scene was one that will not be for
gotten by anyone who witnessed it. He
sat down amid the wildest enthusiasm on
the floor and in the galleries , and sub
mitted himself to the almost hysteric
embraces of his friends. He had done
something for human freedom. He had
lifted some of the burden of taxation
from the shoulders of the American
people. He had led congress in a step
towards civilization. What a pity that
sordid and selfish interests have con
spired by the aid of accidental circum
stances to reverse that step. Utica Ob

Ex-Congressman Geo. E. Adams of
Chicago advances the following explana

it kept the gold democrats down. He
would be glad to have the rank and file
of the gold democrats come back and
vote for him. He would rather not
have the gold democratic leaders like
Cleveland , Carlisle , Eckles , Morton , and
the rest , come baok if he oould win
without them , and he thought he could , .
If they came back they might make
him trouble. He did not need them as
leaders. He had leaders , enough. He
had himself and Altgeld , Oroker and
Tillmanand a few young and rising men
of destiny. There was not room for
more. "
"Besides , Bryan , as a good politician ,
may have felt that if the Cleveland
leaders came back they might hurt him ,
not only after the election , but during
the campaign. It is a fact that when
Olney and Bourke Cockran did straggle
baok the reasons they gave and the ar
guments they used made Bryan wince
and made republicans chuckle. "
