EFFECT OF THE NEW TARIFF ,
Beneficial Results of the law Already Ap
parent in the South.
HEALTHY STIMULUS ' TO INDUSTRIES.
What a Distinguished Party of North
erners isnw on a Itccont Trip
to Virginia mul Ten
nessee.
WASHINGTON , March 18. [ Staff Corre-
pononco of THE BUK. ] If anybody has nny
doubts ns to the effect the now tariff law Is
having upon American industries bo lias
only to visit tbo natural gns fields of Indiana ,
Ohio and certain portions of tbo south. Tbo
effect Is truly magical.
Last week Senators MandQrson , Ilawloy ,
Banders , Fryo , Carey nnd Representatives
Alien , Cannon , Henderson of Illinois , Mo-
Kinloy , Post , Cogswell , Osborh and others
accompanied Secretary ofVnr \ , Proctor nnd
Attorney General Miller to Chattanooga ,
Tonn. , upon the Invitation of Representative
Henry Clay Evans of that city for the pur
pose of not only visiting the battlefields of
Chlcamaufin , Missionary Kldgo and Looltou
Mountain , but of witnessing some oftho
practical effects of the now tariff law- Everyone
ono vas ? amazed. They all expected much ,
but they did not look for such marvelous
things.
No sooner did the special train bearing the
distinguished party roach the interior of Vir
ginia than the worker the new regime began
to reveal itself. A number of tbo party sut
'
In 'tho smoking ap.irtmont of ono oar as tbo
train rolled Into Hoanoko , Va. , which has
more tlmn doubled in population since it became -
came apparent that the republicans in con
gress intended to Uocp their promise and ro-
vlso 'the tariff upon tholr party platform
linos. Senator llawloy , who is ouo of tbo
most sterling republicans tn the country ,
turned to tbo author of tbo present tariff law
and said :
' 'Virginia is a republican state now. Such
marvelous improvement could only came
from republican effort I Imvo never scon
anything like it In n domocratie community.
Those hundreds of beautiful brick and stone
buildings and factories for tbo manufacture
of Iron nnd wooden articles and this develop
ment of iron nnd coal mines must ho
the handlwqrk of republican enterprise.
U afore tbo war , when the state was demo
cratic beyond question , wo saw uotblug of
this kind ; Now Virginia shows as much hum
of industry In proportion to population as
Pennsylvania over did that is in republican
localities , for tbero are republican and demo
cratlo strongholds in the stato. "
"Yes , " said Major MoKinloy , "Virginia is
n republican stuto. All wo need is a fair
count and a full ballot In nil parts of the state
to make It as reliably republican as Ver
monU"
"Hut will not tuoso men who have put m
no much capital for the development of the
state demand a full vote and a fair count ! "
inquired Senator Hawloy. "It Is necessary to
the perpetuation of tholr financial Interests. "
"That Is what I now contend , " replied
Major McKlulcy , adding : "It is a pity that
wo over hear anything of the war in the
south. "
"If there ivas not BO much strife Vlr
glnla would appear republican , oven from
the count as It Is nuula now. I wish wo could
never hear more nlxmt the color line and the
war. "
"That Is exactly tie ) Inward secret of the
force which makes half the southern stales
democratic , " mid HopresonUitlvo Cogswell ,
who Is a Massachusetts republican.
"Tho elections bill ftlrrcd up much moro
itrlfo than thcro win any excuo for , and
Virginia veiled about U till her facowas
red , " said Senator Sanders , \vbobrougbt Into
congress aomo of Montana's ' best -republican-
IspiV "Up to a v ory short time ago a inaubl
the LusiuM * InteUlgoncoof todiy wculU hnv'o
been hooted at In Virginia. Had the manu
facturer of this day located in the ola Do
minion a dccado ago ho would have been
recorded as a lunatic. Now business enter
prise stands as an index at almost every
cross roads. By the asslmulntion of the
northern blood and enterprise with southern
crude resources wo have brought about a
revolution of sentiment. But it will take a
few years to got thesn natives down to terra
llrmn.Voraust wlpo out their prejudices
and heresies. Thov regard the intentions of
the republican party north as very violent.
Wo should show them that they nro mis
taken. I wish the elections bill hud passed ,
if for no otbor reason than because it would
have shown the people of the south that wo
have no designs against them , socially or
politically. Wo have to send missionaries
Into heathen lands to teach our Christian
doctrines. The republicans will have to force
somoof their good thlngsjuponthosouth , Just as
they hnvo their tariff laws , which are revo
lutionizing their affairs. Wo are forciuir
prosperity upon thorn now , despite their pro
tests. They huvo said by their actions that
they do n'ot want these factories und these
mlmi developments. But then if wo had
passed the elections hill it would only have
Leon a monument to mark a principle. It
would not have wrought any change in con
ditions. "

"Thoro was John Randolph of Hoanoko , "
said Major McKiiiloy. meditatively ; "I wonder -
dor if ho came from HoanoaKo , Va. 1"
"I > fo , " said.General Hooker of Mississippi , ,
who won fame on confederate battlefields
and who is a strong free trader ; John llnn-
doiph was famed as coming from the Roan-
oako river. "
t'AVoll , " continued Major Mo'IClnloy ' , bo ,
that as it may , ho was a typical native of the
stato. Ho espoused principles nnd croatoa
those which bccatno maxims and doctrines
for the people which are now the bouo and
slnow of Virginia's democratic party of to
day. I remember that John Randolph pro
claimed tils unalterable opposition to the es
tablishment of manufactories in Virginia.
Ho said they produced smells and fevers , and
finally cholera. And ho Instanced Philadel
phia to show what demoralisation manufac
tories had upon towns. Tbo democratic
party of Virginia clung tolhose doctrines till
the republicans or the nortli forced thorn out
with protective principles ) . "
"Yes , " replied General Hooker , reflect
ively , nnd sighing as the facts fell upon him ,
' but John Randolph said ono tnlng which
was true and which should have immortal
ized him. It should huvo made him very
treat. Ho said that if wo want to Keep a
man great wo should never go In half a mile
of him. "
Chattanooga at the election last fall gave n
fair oxoiupllllcation of what a pcoplo can do
la political frenzy to tear down their best in
terests , politically , morally and financially.
The city of Chattanooga has grown beyond
all calculation during the past dccado. when
the battle was foueht unaor .tho clouds on
Lookout Mountain , twenty-eight years ago ,
Chattanooga was hut 1,500 , In population.
Ten yean ago it had grown to bo n plodding
city of 10,000 or a llttlo over. Flvo years ago
the ropuollcan spirit which made eastern
Tennessee ono of the crcotost boons the
union had in 1SOI came to the front. It
elected a city government for Chattanooga ,
donned enterprise , aud she is today a city of
about fifty thousand population. It is a
llttlo Plltsburg in all the term Implies.
11. Clay Evans , ono of the most
starling republicans and best business
men In the country , was sent to congress.
Ho got appropriations f or Imnroving the navi
gation of the Tennessee river which have
made It u splendid channel pf commerce. Ho
got appropriations for a mng'ilflccnt stouo
public building , where the postoftlco nnd cus
tom house nro to ba localo.1. Ho secured the
adoption of a hill to buy all of the ground on
which are located tbo battle Acids of Look
out mountain , Chlcamauga , Mission Ridge ,
etc. . and they are to bo conveitcd into a great
national park. Ho gave the entire congres
sional district a national standing and pres
tige , and such enterprise as is being shown
under his influence now was not drompt of
four yours ago. Ho made for Chattanooga a
name hero and throughout tbo country , from
which tic | property owners are reaping finan
cial rewards.
Henry Clay Evans voted for the election
bill. The rebelling iplrlt pf the people arose' .
Ho was defeated. An. Inexperienced man
was elected , who under the conditions can da
nothing for his constituents. Chattanooga
la a word , aud the district top her , did in
the name of prejudice wbut it will take years
to overcome , and cut off an Impetus given by
a distinguished man's efforts which was
worth moro than all the hatred In existence.
It was a crcat misfortutothnt 'powonul and
political 'prejudice for a general principle
could not uo repressed In the Interest of pros
perity and the present and future genera
tions.
Not only has the mnnufnctnro'of tin oeen
given n llrm footholu in Plttsburg , Chicago
and St. Louis , ana other points In the cast and
west since the last tariff bill became a law ,
but It has opened up the industry at Chatta
nooga. A banquet was tendered the visiting
statesmen last week , durlntr which courses
wore served on tin plates , wino in tin cups or
goblets , nnd the speakers were encored with
tin whistles made m the city.
Tin is made from steel. It Is rolled the
proper thickness , then dropped into boiling
vats of moulten tin , which gives the plate a
coat , the rust-resisting and bright coat which
looks lilto new lend. The thin , tit.-coatcd
steel plates is commercially known as tin-
plate. The pig tin or coating material Is
now mined in the Black Hills of
South Dakota , enough to < supply
tbo world , almost. The steel plntos
from which ttnpluto is made is naw being
manufactured in largo quantities in Chatta
nooga , ami soon enough will ho m.ido at the
various volnts of the country to drive out all
foreign tlnptato , nnd in less than a half dozen
years there will bo no need of u duty on tin-
plato. We can produce It clieapor ttmn any
country in the world. The encourago.nent
by way of a duty must , como in the time for
development , of the tin mines nnd the manu
facture of the steel plates from which tinplate -
plato Is mado.
When Chattanooga returns H. May Evans
to congress In the place of n democrat nnd
gets moro hotels she will bo on thq road to
perfect prosperity. It is the best point in the
United States today for a largo , first-class
hotel. The present hotel capacity is ineftl-
cient and inferior to demands. The develop
ment of Iron and coal Industries , under the
now tariff faw is simply marvelous , It can
not ho described on paper.
A democratic representative Is reported to
have had the Impudence , the other day , to
nsk Mr. Mills of Texas what , his grounds
were for asking his colleagues to make him
speaker of tlio Fifty-second congress , "Be-
causn of my services generally1 ! was the reply ,
' and the compilation of the Mills tariff
bill in particular. "
"The lust statement , " said the democratic
congressman to your correspondent , "has put
mo to thinking. Did it over occur to you
that the Individual and collective member
ship of the committee on ways and menus nro
robbed of the crodlt duo them for compiling
tariff bills } Well , it is true , all the same.
When the tariff was lust revised , for many
years prior to this congress , the successful
measure was known as the Ivolley bill , be
cause Mr. Kclloy of Pennsylvania was
chairman of the committee that reported
it to the house. When Mr. Mills
reported the next tariff measure which
passed the nouso it was named uftcrhlm , nnd
so far as the country knows hotoui piled it.
The last congress passed a tariff hill named
after the chairman of the committee on ways
and means , nnd so far as popular credit is
concerned , the able and well known republi
can member of the committee might'as ' well
have never becir In congress. The foot is , a
half-dozen members of the majority on the
committee each do as much hard work and
put as much Individuality into a tariff bill as
the chairman , and I wish the country under
stood this fact , which is so well known in
congress.
"It has been the custom for the minority to
present a tariff hill to combat the ono pre
sented by the majority. Two measures on
the same subject ttiercfore como before con
gress. They must have names. Custom has
given the majority bill the name of tbo chair
man on ways aud means , nnd tbo minority
bill has been named after the bend of ttio
minority. Why , the country never heard of
anybody hut Morilson of Illinois when the
horizontal reduction olll was roporjod live
years ago. It ought to ho known Unit there
were two or three momhors of the majority of
tbo committee who gave the bill moro genius
ant ! woik than ho who got tba credit , nnd
further tltat ono of the ; principal features of
desirability in the chairmanship of ways and
means is this unfair credit for bills Which at
taches to the position.
"Certainly there is great responsibility
connected with the chairmanship of this
great committee , " continued the democratic
congressman , "but In doling out crodlt for
work and ability it U not Justice to labo from
those who do as much , all crodlt for the work
a committee accomplishes. It ! all duo to
an old-time custom which ace > I credit
for all the work of a committee u > . . head. I
dislike to sco men posing as the genius of an
entire committee. "
"It is very inconvenient for mo to sleep on
trains. " said Senator Sanders of Montana
the other day , "for the reason that I nm too
long for sleeping car berths. My feet stick
outof the other end of the berth , " continued
ho , good-naturedly. "But , ' ho added , "n
sleeping-car berth beats the bed I slept
on when I went to Montana a quarter of a
century ago. Wo all carried our beds with
us thii , when going about the country. Abed
then consisted of two or three heavy blan
kets. Wo made them up on tbo Hears of inns
or on the ground under the blue canopy of
heaven , according to the weather. Ourllrst
bedstead arrived about 1800. "
It nppcawfrom the thousands of letters
being received from every section of the
country , that the average pension claimant
has overlooked the fact that congress during
its last hours passed an net which curtailed
the fees of pension claimants considerably.
There was some important legislation on the
subject of agents' fees in the regular pension
appropriation hill as approved March a.
Hero is the law us it stands at this time , ap
proved March 3 , 181)1 ) :
"No ngent or attorney shall demand , receive
or bo allowed any compensation" under exist
ing law exceeding $3 in any claim fjr increase
ot pension on account of the Increase of disa
bility for which the pension has been allowed ,
or for services rendered in securing
the passage of any special act
of congress granting a pensioner
or an increase of pension in any case that has
been presented at the pension olllco or Is al
lowable under the general pension laws.
Violating of this act Is punishable by a fine
not exceeding ? 500in each case or Imprison-
incut fora term not exceeding two years , or
both , in the discretion of tbo court. But
the provisions of this law do not apply in cases
where contracts have already been mado.
Another provision reduces the fees of exam
ining surcgons on.ponsion boards to ? . ! in each
case , but whenever there are live cxnmlnu-
tlons In ono day the charge shall not exceed
$1 In each case.
It should therefore be known that In all
i.ow contracts it Is unlawful to give more
thim ? i fur attorneys' fees and that appli
cants can save money in examinations ny
clubbing together and applying to examining
boards in numbers of live persons or moro.
An American Kvperlin.uit.
[ CuMinunfeaicil ]
As I write those words there lies before
mo an old book < irrltton by Jacob Boebmo , a
German shoom&lcor who was vary religious
and oxtraordlnavy man. His book Is called
"Forty Questions on tbo Soul ; " it wag
printed In ISngUiW in the year 1IW7 , and was
only ono of thoxmmy books ho wrote. In nil
of these ho callrf himself a ' 'theosopher , ! '
which in these days was the sumo as "tho-
osophist , " the tlUB really belongs to one who
bus put all. , thai thcosophical principles into
practice. Still , , popular usage It always
stronger thaa line distinction , and it is
almost imposslbla'to keep before the mind of
the pubtlo tbaifdet that a mere member of
this society is aotilnccossanly thereby made
Into a pertect Dtirig , und is indeed only one
who Is on tvlhl. Tbo famous Madame
lilavatsky made itbls clear ono day in Lon
don to a vlsltorvrlio asked If she was a the-
osopuUt , to whlbh she replied , "No , but 1
nm trying to bo ono. " So in my use of the
title "thoosophlst" I mean ono who is trying
to put thcosophy into practice and that too
withoutregard to membership In the society.
But this old Teutonic thcosophor Boohmo
was , I think , in all senses n thcosophlst , for
ho ever lived up to his doctrines and came ut
last to have a great Influence , which may bo
considered proved from the auger ho aroused
in the hearts of certain dogmatic priests of
his day who caused him to bo persecuted and
driven from his town.
There was nlreadv beginning to snrend
among the minds of the pcoplo of Europe in
the time of Boohmo a. revolt against the ter
rible orthodoxy which would not allow u man
to believe that the earth was round or that it
could not ho possible that the glebe and all
thdroon wore created In six small solar day * ,
This discontent nt last led to tbo pllprlmazo
of the puritan fathers to America and tbo
great nation now on this continent as a con
sequence.
Among the descendants of those strong
men were such as Franklin and Jefferson and
Washington nnd their friends. But at the
suiuo time tbcro was also another man in
England who did not como hero until the
revolution had begun to bo whispered lu the
air , though ns yet not broken forth. This
personage was the well known Thomas
I'nlno , than whom no other man , perhaps ,
has been so unjustly libeled slow his death.
Washington said of him that tbo American
colonies owed him a debt of gratitude , forte
to him more than nny one , in Washington's
opinion , did the pcoplo ewe the Impulse to
strive for liberty. These prominent ligures
In the history of this * nation Washington ,
Franklin nnd JolTorson wore the freest of
tuinkor.s , and all the wild efforts of interested
persons since then have not been able to
show them ns only church going ploui souls ,
but solely as men who lived Justly and did
right in the eyes of men nnd the sight of the
ono God In whom they believed. Certainly
as to Paine and Franklin it is clear that they
were liberal and wholly untnmineled by any
church or priest.
These men , with their friends anil support
ers , osinblished the United Statoj on a foot
ing of absolute freedom from dogmatic in.
tcrfcronco , and as a revolt against tyranny
They took core to leave God out of the con
stttution and why ? Vor the reason that
every man nai his own conception of that
Being , nnd if God wore mentioned in that
great instrument , then bigoti nnd sectaries
would enforce their notion of God oil everyone
ono else , drawing their supreme warrant
from the constitution , And so the great
American experiment como on the world's '
stage ; to bo a success o ? miserable failure ;
to hold out to humanity for nios to como the
hopoofnn ever-widening horizon of liberty
and truth and right. Whether these hopes
will bo fulfilled Is a mystery yet in tbo womb
of timo.
"What , " you may ask , "has all this to do
with thoosonhyr' A very great deal ; for
the latest and host organized attempt to rc-
VIVQ true thcosophy and sptcad it among the
people of the earth was begun In the United
States , the land of experiment and of re
form. Fifteen years ago nnd a little over the
sages ot tho. cast convoyed to their friends
the intelligence that the time had now como
to start the preparations for a new wave of
thought nnd a now revival of belief In the
soul and Its powers , together with a new
building up of the breastworks nosded to
stem the on rush of materialism , which had
been growing under the diligent , fostering
cnro of the scientillo schools , whose masters
and pupils care not for the Immortal and bo-
Hove not in the inner self. The result of
this communication in itself a command
resulted in the forming of the theosophlcal
society In the city of Now York , with the
avowed object of forming a nucleus of a uni
versal brotherhood In fact , a repetition , on
thu purely moral side , of the declaration of
Independence. Unlike other bodies with
broad alms , this ono had from the first a
basis which has given it solidity and will
over keep it alive.
The founders of the organisation , believing
in the intelligence sent to thorn that n wave
interest in the powers ot the soul was about
to rise and that a now seeking for the philoso
pher's stonn upon nn entirely different basis
from any in the past would soon begin , wisely
directed the attention of the members to the
acciont stores of learning , to the end that all
the superstition of ttio centuries might bo
stripped oil from the doctrines nnd beliefs
held from immemorial time In respect to.man ,
his power , bis origin and hi * destiny. This
attention resulted in a belief in the ranks of
society that thcro existed n key to the pu/ilos
of the Inner self , and soon upon the belief
there followed n wide promulgation. But
such a dlvulgcmont inevitably draws
down nbuaonnd ridicule from nil who will not
take the trouble to know what it Is all about ,
and bravo men nnd won.cn are icouircd to
carry the struggle forward until mlssunder-
standing disappears. Such men and women
have been found , and now a little moro llgnt
begins to break , Increasing the probability
tbut the people nro almost ready to glvo n
hearing to expositions of such satisfying doc
trines a * these of karma and reincarnation ,
which are two out of many that tbo members
of the society endeavor to place before think
ing people.
These two doctrines are In fact the founda
tion stones of all theological cdlllccs , for
without them the universe is a hopeless Jum
ble , while with them hardly a question of
cosmogony or anthropology remains uuun-
sUvorcil ,
Kvolution. so widely accepted , Is admitted
us an empiric doctrine only , for thcro Is no
connection , between tbo links o ( evolution ,
nnd scientists are obliged to ossupio many
things , many of thorn hunting forever fortho
misting link whether It bo between thoapo
and man , or batween the mineral and the
vegetable moro highly organized. But with
karma and reincarnation the link appears ,
may bo without nny visible representative ,
but plainly seen as aphilosophlcal conception.
And in the great question of the evolution of
man ns a reasoning being all doubts disap
pear nt once when we master the thcosophi
cal Idea of his origin aud destiny. Thcosophy
docs not deny evolution but asserts n reason-
nulo ouo. It shows man ns coming up through
every form from the very lowest known to
science , and postulates for him a destiny so
inucQ higher and greater than any permitted
to him by cither church or science thtutho
pen of comparison gives up the task. But
It goes further than science , as the human
nomad the immoital spark according to
thosophy , comes outof the eternities , und in
each evolutionary course It emerges upon the
piano of matter as wo know it in the form of
an Immaterial ( If wo may say BO about that
which although Invisible to our sight is still
matter ) being called by some nn elemental
nnd by others a spirit. Hut of these things
moro nt another timo.
For the present it Is sufllcient to know that
the thcosophical experiment of the present
century Is a product of the soil of America ,
although engineered nt the beginning by a
Russian subject , who at the same time gave
up her allegiance to the Czar of nil the Hus-
sias and became an American citizen.
