A HM't'ttMCAft CRITICISM.
The speech of Congressman Huttor-
worth of Ohio In criticism of the McICln-
ley tarilT bill will undoubtedly attract
great attention. Mr. Uutlerworlh Is ono
of the lending republicans of his slate , n
man 01 tiblllty and long experience In
public life , and has always boon , as ho
Htlll Is , nn advocate of the policy of pro
tection for American industries and
labor. Hut ho Is not ono of those who
bellcvo In perpetuating a war tariff
and consider that the best way to reduce
revenue IB to increase duties all
nlong the lino. lie thinks on the con
trary that what the condition of the
country demands , in the interest both of
the homo and .tho foreign market , IB a
revision of the tariff downward , and ho
also thinks that this is what the pledge
of the republican party to reform the
tariff meant.
Consequently Mr. Hutterworth cannot
support the McKlnloy tariff bill. Ho
makes no war upon the protective sys
tem , but ho refuses to bo a
party to the continuance of the
inequalities between Ainerlcnn'citizans
which are snllloiontly numerous under
the existing tariff and would bo greatly
multiplied under the bill which the ma
jority of tlio wnys and means committee
of the house have proposed , A policy
that will protect and cherish American
interests and industries in competition
with the rest of the world can be up-
proved , but ono that contemplates shut
ting out all Importation , and thereby
enabling the beneficiaries under it to
lay heavier tribute upon the people can
not bo defended on any principle
of justice or sound policy. A
protective system , said Mr. But-
tcrworlh , should deal with con
ditions and not , save in exceptional cir
cumstances , with national boundary
lines. What conditions are there which
now require a general advance of tnrilf
rates In order to protect American in
dustries ? Is there a single industry
which really needs to bo fostered by
higher dittios'i' Certain interests were
nblo to make the majority of the ways
and means committee believe that they
require additional tariff nufsing , but as
Mr. llutlerwortli wisely observed ,
It is not always safe to rely
altogether upon the testimony
of the bonoliciaries under 'a
law , and it waa simply as n matter of
courtesy that the Ohio congressman said
the committee had tried to do the best it
could in framing the law. At any rate ,
the fair inference from his remarks must
bo that he thinks the committee did the
very worst it could so far as the general
interests and welfare of the people are
concerned. It framed a measure which
proposes to favor Paul at the expense of
Petur , as Mr. Hultorworth put it , Paul
representing the classes whose tribute
would bo increased by the higher
duties , and Peter the great body
of the people who would bo com
pelled to submit to the additional ox-
actions.
There will bo a very general and
hearty response to the declaration of
Mr. Hutterworth that the time has
come when .some little concern should be
shown for American homos and Ameri
can ilrcriidos , and this the Molvinloy bill
does not do. It is hardly in a single re
spect a progressive measure , but in
nearly all that it proposes is retrogres
sive. Tliis is not in accord with the spirit
of the time , the demands of the country ,
nor tlio promises of the republican
party. There was never preached a
greater or more misleading sophistry
than the claim of the supporters of
higher tariff duties that they will stimu
late'enterprise and increase the pros
perity of the country. Relief from taxa
tion is what is required to improve the
condition of the people , and every addi
tion to duties that will increase the
tribute paid by Peter to Paul must in
evitably diminish the general prosperity
and retard 'material progress , however
profitable to the few beneficiaries from
it ; Mr. Butterworth is to bo commended
for his courage 'in warning his party
against a threatened false step that
would bo full of danger to it.
ATTITUDE.
The spirit that at present pervades
Now England is ono of dissatisfaction and
disaffection. Her people feel that the
rest of the country has no concern for
their interests and no sympathy with
their wishes. They appealed to con
gress for free raw materials to save their
iron industries from ruin , but the appeal
was disregarded. They hail to fight hard
and persistently to retain hides on the
free list. Said one of her representatives
in the house , speaking on the tariff meas
ure : "Ono thing especially con
spicuous in the bill is the marked
success with which it absolutely ignores
the interests of Now England. What
Now England wants the most has been
denied , and what she desires the least
has been forced upon her. " This feeling
Is not universal in that section , but it is
widespread. Another source of trouble
to the Now England people is the propo
sition that congress shall enact some
legislation for restricting the competi
tion of Canadian with American rail
roads. The investigation of the semite
committee demonstrated that thorn is an
almost universal sentiment there against
any Interference with this competition ,
and it appears to bo as strong now as
over.
Commenting upon the report of the
senate committee , recommending legis
lation lo give American roads at least an
equal olmnco with these of Canada , and
suggesting a toll or lleonso for the latter
doing business In the United States , the
Boston Aili'erUscr said , if the proposal
were carried out , "nothing will be loft
to this section of the country of advant
age ; if our only resource of unimpeded
freight traflle through the Cnnadasis
cut off , Boston and Now England will be
unalterably saddled with the extra
freight charged between hero - . < md
the west now exacted by the roads lying
wholly within Uie limits of this coun
try. " This expresses the very general
fooling of the merchants and manufac
turers of Now England. A few sea the
manifest injustice of a syc > toni of foreign
protection at native expense involved in
hampering domestic railroads by re
strictive law and allowing foreign com-
potltott ? complete freedom of interstate
transportation , but the number taking
this view Is a very small minority. Yoi
It is probable that the legislation
BO much feared by the people of
Now England In this particular
will bo enacted and there Is very little
likelihood that.that section will obtain
any of the relief It has asked for under
the larlff.
What may bo the effect of this upon
the politics of that section is an inter *
cstlng question. There are Intimations
that some of the Now England repre
sentatives who Imvo signified their ap
proval of the tariff bill may find it an
uphill work to bo ro-olectcd , and it Is
suggested that the republican party will
hereafter look In vain to the manufac
turers of Now England for campaign
contributions If the McKlnley measure
is adopted. Much of this sort of talk
may have no substantial foundation , but
it cannot be questioned that the state of
popular sentiment in Now England "at
this tlmo is n matter for the serious con
sideration of the republicans in con
gress. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
itr CONSMHATORS.
Mayor Gushing frankly admits that
ho is in the hands of the Omaha
Tammany , bossed by Broatch and man
ipulated by Vandorvoort. Ho admits
that the council combine which notori
ously forms nn integral part of the Tam
many gang of conspirators swings a
club over his head and dic
tates whom ho shall appoint
and what olllces he must
fill with their creatures and tools. In
other words , Mayor Gushing has simply
become a puppet in the hands of tin oath-
bound association of spoilsmen banded
together for the purpose of dividing
among it members every position of
profit or trust within the gift of the
mayor and council and to plneo and
keep upon the city pay roll
a horde of supernumeraries and tax-
oators. These barnacles and heelers
render little or no service to the city ,
but hold themselves ever ready to do the
bidding of the Tammany bosses in ex
ecuting their plots to manipulate cau
cuses , primaries and conventions.
Under this government by conspirators
our council meetings simply ratify
officially and publicly what has been
agreed upon and decreed by the conspir
ators secretly oath-bound conclaves.
This is a state of affairs never Ixjfore
witnessed in this city. Twelve or fifteen
years ago a promiscuous job-lot of bro
ken-winded politicians organized what
was known as the Ko-opKhin , with grips ,
passwords and signs , but thoito-ops wore
comparatively harmless. They were
broken up by ridicule and disbanded be
cause they had no common center to hold
them together. But the Tammany
twenty-eight club that now dominates
this city through a rotten council and a
backbonoless mayor is a dangerous ag
gregation of desperadoes who > o solo aim
is boodle and plunder and who if
permitted to rule this city will
promote jobbery and swindling in our
public works and inaugurate a reign of
Twccdism that will bankrupt this city.
This is no overdrawn picture. It is
based upon the record which Broatch
and his combine made during the last
months of his term and since his retire
ment. Tlio manipulation of the city hall
plans , the Dodlin granite swindle , the
four thousand dollars paid out of
the city treasury for Broatch * u
horde of repeaters and vagrants who
were paid oil' 'under the street commis
sioner's orders , although they had done
no work for the city , show what the con
spirators are capable of doing unless taxpaying -
paying citizens roue themselves and
call a halt to their operations.
As was expected , the senate commit
tee on pensions recommended non-con
currence in the service bill which the
house substituted for the senate depend
ent bill , and this action of the committee
was unanimous. A conference was or
dered , and the matter will bo deter-
vy n coiuuiuiuo ui mu two nouses.
According to the dispatches the senate
conferees will insist on the dependent
pension bill and will refuse all proposals
of compromise , no that if the house
adheres to the position it has
taken there will bo no pension legisla
tion at the present session. The atti
tude of the senate is right and should bo
maintained. Its bill provides for sol
diers who are dependent and for their
widows , and while this will bo univer
sally approved it is all the government
should be asked to do under present con
ditions. It is estimated that this
measure would increase the annual
pension obligations of the government
between thirty-five and forty mil
lion dollars , whereas the house bill
would add perhaps two or three times
that amount , it being In fact quite im
possible to estimate with any degree of
certainty what the increase would bo
under it. The views which prompted
the action of tlio senate committee , and
which are said to bo hold by the con-
forces on tlio part of the senate , are in
accord with the disinterested judgment
of the country , and it is to bo hoped
will bo firmly adhered to.
TIE | whoolhorses of democracy in
these parts have reason to rojolco over
the mayor's selection for chairman of
the board of public works. Mr. Blrk-
hauser is ono of 'em. True ho is a re
cent recruit in the local party ranksbut
no ono will deny that what ho lacks in
length of service ho has made up in an
active , porsihtent hunt for spoils. No
ollleo was too poor for him to decline.
In fact ho has at all times been ready to
sacrifice his personal comfort to servo
the public , If there was any money In it.
Such patriots deserve recognition.
While the olllco is the richest
at the gift of the mayor ,
we are confident that the men
who have kept the party camp-fires blaz
ing when lUrklmuscr was chasing the
greenback delusion in South Nebraska ,
or posing as an anti-monopolist in the
legislative halls , will holht their hats in
wild goo } over the promised promotion
of such a distinguished and life-long
democrat. Dr. Miller particularly will
rejoice over the selection of a man whom
ho admires so much. For further par
ticulars see back files of the Omaha Her

Softly through the aspen tree

So sing I in minor strain.

Minor strains are moro complete
Love and joy my being gladden

And my song is right , 1 ween ,

Continuation of Mr. Mnuuuo'H Argu
ment Favoring the IMcklor 15111.
WASHINGTON , May 14. Mr. Macunc , rep
resenting the farmers' alliance this morning
continued his argument begun yesterday before -
fore the ways and means committee In favor
of thoPickler bill to establish sub-treasuries
for the receipt of agricultural products. Ho
wiis questioned by the members of the com
mittee respecting the details mid probable
effect of the bill. Mr. Bayno wished to know
if one effect would not bo to encourage over
production. Mr. Macuno replied that it
would not , for just as soon as the farmers'
business became more profitable than others
there would bo an influx of men into that
business which would result in a reaction
and the final restoration of nn equilibrium.
Mr. Macnno proceeded to explain the pro
cess proposed to regulate nn Issue of produce
cortilicatcs. He said that the necessity for
excluding imports of agricultural products
was obvious if the quality of the certificates
was to bo preserved. The certificates would
constitute thu soundest and best currency in
the world. Probably not onc-hulf of the iiiO-
000,000 appropriation asked for to put the now
machinery in action would bo required , but
the sum should not bo absolutely lixed ut a
minimum , us in tlmo it would be necessary to
extend the system so as to include nil of the
products of labor not covered by patents.
In conclusion Mr. Macuno said that the
national alliance hud not sent out a single
printed petition , mid that these
fictitious and demands now pour
ing in upon congress vrero
the spontaneous offerings of the farmers of
the United States which were convinced that
they know what they wanted and were going
to have it.
Mr. Flower feared that thn plan would load
to the banking of live stock , iron , lead mid
silver oro. Thc-y were getting along now in
the latter direction at the other end of the
capital , In the course of ten years the gov
ernment would bu nursing children mid
women working in the field. The true rem
edy for the funnel's' ills was the manufac
turers' plans. They should regulate produc
tion , ruining only enough produce to meet the
people's wants and thereby get fair prices.

E. E. Philco , an artist formerly located
here , owned a lot in Brace & Hart's addition ,
and , it is alleged , was induced by Ports Wil
son to trade it for realty in Minneapolis and
East Ked Willow , that existed nowhere ex
cept on paper. Wilson required n number of
pictures and paintings in addition , and the
artist worked for months painting pictures ,
whilei visions of wealth to bo acquired from
liis imaginary lots spurred him on. It is said
that Phileo discovered the fraud after the pic
tures were painted and delivered. When
Wilson was confronted with facts gleaned by
the artist he offered him eighty acres of land
in Wisconsin and fourteen acres in Indiana
instead of the imaginary lots. This did not
satisfy Phileo and the result is that the two
have submitted their imbroglio to the courts
for settlement. Judge Chapman listened to
day to ttie stories of the opposing parties in
the suit.
