of foreign und American prices contained In

of Aucust , 20 and September 1 , nro Incor
rect and without foundation In fact. In
reply to this , Mr. Justice has the following
to say :
"Tho wool circular * alluded to are those
which give the quotations slue by sldo ol

"Mr. Springer says that to show the utto
unreliability of this table , the figures of whic

that American prices between ISI13 aud 137-i
bofrn specie payments were resumed i
this country , are given In American cui
rency , then depreciated. Ohio mcdiui
woof brought 7-i coats m the United Slate
In 1872 because of tbo protective tariff , u hie
duties hud to be paid in gold , which ut thu
timoyvas at u premium , mid this promiui
tvus equivalent to so much additional nrulci
tian. This wus ut u tlmo wh'-.n the A us tr :
_ iiin } wool grower was getting less iban i

cents under protection here for Iho turn

Mr. Springer's figures furnished to congrus

wool in London at that time was worth la

In reply to this statement Mr. Justice sai
bo had ample proofs to back up the slat
inentb made In the circular.
A * to tbo statement of Mr. Springer tha
according lo the olllclal records , protcctlc
did not protect the wool growers , ho nu
posted that the congressman submit the inn
tcr to Iho wonl growers themselves. Ho nli
nskcd what , if not protection , caused tl
wool clip of the United States to Increase 1
per cent between lit : ! aud 1SS1 , Contlnuti
thn reply soys :
"Relating lo Iho circular of September
Mr. Sprlugor stales Hint In referring lo h
bill wo say thut If passed into law it wou
largely Increase the imports of shoddy. I
further says Unit the bill which ho Intr
uuccd lixod a duty of 23 per uont ud vrtlore
upon shoddy. Under tbo law of Itib311
duties upon shoddy , mungo , Ilocl ;
waslo , etc. , were 10 cents per poun
Under that bill there wcro Imported

Tbo Mi'lClnloy law Increased ilia duty i

full year under that bill Iho Imporls

IK ) per cent. There is little or no shcddy Ii
ported under the picscnt McKlnley law. T
Spilngcr bill pl'iced the duty on sboddv
25 per cunt ud valorem , and as the avera
value of bhoddy In Europe Is about 7 cants [ i
pound , tbo ' - . ' , " > per cent duty on sbuddy valu
ut 7 cents would be under 2 cents per poun
The Sprlnror hill , tboioforo , proposes tola
over S cents par pound off ol tbo prose
duty on shoddy , nnd for what purposel .
there Is no shoddy now Imported , there c
bo but ono object In reducing ; the duty frc
UO to" centaud that object can only bo
stimulate Its importation ,
\Vlmt Slinilily In.
"Now what Is shoddy I Shoddy , as Is w
known to most people , is woolen rugs grou
up and converted as ncnr as possible to t
original condition of raw wool r.nd that ll
used as n eheuu substitute tor wool. The
rags are gathered up from the gutters , In
jiltuls and wherever else they can bo four.
The rug platoon of Kuropo are u numoro
nnd familiar class to these who go abro.
Tbn clothing of these who die of infoctlo
discuses ia timbered In and shipped us ru
tu London or Hamburg lo ba converted Ii
shoddy. They are beaten und nustod , I
not otherwise cleaned by any process tl
would destroy microbes. Tuo shoddy whi
is used In the inanufacluro of forolcn carpi
Is hardly oven dusfd and Is oiio of the mi
dangerous forms iu which discatecun
carried.
"ll Is fair to assume that the ohangoi p
iiosi'd by the Springer bill would load to I
Importation of many million pounds ot
annually , and ouch pound of ihoddv used
tbo manufacture of cloth lakes the place
throe pounds of unwashed wool. This
what Mr. Springer proposelo do for i
American wool growers , inc effects of wh
would be. not only to muko thu London pr

sioner Peek and his stenographer , IClbort

afternoon at II o'clock , the tlmo sot for thorn
to plead to the Indictments found against
them for destroying public records.
District Attorney Galen nnd his assistant ,
Mark Cohen , uppoared for the prosecution
and Elward J. Meepan for the defense ,
Commissioner Puck and a largo number ol
In tores ted spectators were present , Mr ,
Meopan opened tbo arguments , asking that
the Indictment bo sent back to the police
court , so that the case can ho legally triud ,
In support of this contention he read an nfli-
davit or Mr. Pock and Mr. Uogur-i , rehears
lug tholr arralgnmor.t in Ihe pollcj court and
their subsequent indictment by the grand
Jury on the same charge , and saying :
"Tho secret action In the police court anc
before tha grand Jury on the pirt of the dU-
ti let attorney wai prejudicial to deponents
Deponents were prepared to establish tholi
entire Inr-oconco when examined be Ton
1'nlico Justice Uuttm in , but they were do
nlcd that right und indictments were found
ns deponents believe , to embarrass them it
their defense nnd to disgrace thorn lu thi
public ore , wltn a view to alTect result
Thai by' reason of this secret action , si
covertly done by the district attorney , tk <
deponents have been deprived of thaii
challenge to the grand jurors whofound sucl1
Indictment uud verily believe that they hat
som > ) ground of challenge- against a majority
of the grand Jurors ; thut it is unjust t <
permit nn indictment to stand against then
when so found by Incompetent andimpropei
grand Jurors ; that deponents believe- thai
If said grand Jury was not moved by per
Juuico and of Incited , inflamed and of biasoi
mind' , no indictments would have beet
found against deponents. "
Mr. Meegun then began his araumont t <
show that the position taken by Mcssri
Peck and Uogevs in their anldavlt was up
held bv law. Ho said :
"Tho llnding ot the Indictments wn :
clearly Irregular , while the same matter 01
which the Indictments wore round was pendIng
Ing on examination lu the police court. Thi
action of the district attorney in presontmi
the case 10 Iho grand Jury wns iu the natun
ofnn aci of persecution. Tno case Miouli
not have been presented to tha grand Jurj
under the circumstances , unless to save thi
case trom the statute of limitations. Tin
court should not sanction such persocutioi
aud should not allow the enemies of Air
Pock to use the courts to vent their spit
against him. "
Mr. Katon said the charge against Peel
wasja case wbiob the grand jury could com
'potently"cinsldor. ' * Tno Indictment "shouU
'
stand. The proceedings in court in this cas
had been regular. Tnoro could be no ques
tlun that thri grand jury , as an indonendon
body , could inquire into every matte
brought lo Its notice. f
Mr. Meogan replied , saying tbo author !
ties he bad cited showed thai no indlctmon
ought lo bo allowed to stand in n case 111 !
this , and that thn matter should bo sentbac
to tbu police court , where a proper examine
tion could bo had.
Judge Chile suid that points raised by th
defense would necessitate his examining th
aathoriuos ( marine on the case , und h
therefore named Monday morning as th
timii for the defendants to plead to the u
dlctnicntH in cuso they wera nut quashou.
