Tillman Wants Congress to Help South
Carolina Control Rum.
SENATE _ T0 INVESTIGATE.
During the Consideration of the Tariff Bill
Senator Jones 'Scores Several Great
Combinations—Proposed Scheme
to Retire Government Bonds.
Washington, June 3.—In the absence
of the vice president Senator Frye
of Maine occupied the chair in the
senate. The bill appropriating $100,000
for a public building at Nashua, N. H.,
was passed. Mr. Tillman of South
Carolina then asked consideration for
a resolution reciting the circumstances
of the enactment of the South Carolina.
dispensary law, its effect in reducing in-
temperance and the recent decision of a
federal judge overthrowing the law and
requiring the state to “reopen the bar-
rooms." The resolution then directs
the judiciary committee to consider
and report what legislation is necessary
to restore to South Carolina its right to
regulate the liquor traffic in its own
way. -
Tillman Defends the Dispensary.
Mr. Tillman spoke briefly in support
of the resolution, saying the public im-
pression that the dispensary law was
a money making device was erroneous
and that it had accomplished much
good in regulating the liquor traffic.
Mr. Faulkner of West Virginia. felt
that the senate should not be commit-
ted to the lengthy preamble reciting the
effect of the law, etc. Mr. Tillman
modified the preamble so as to avoid
the term “judicial legislation" in char—
acterizing the recent decision and sub-
stituting “judicial interpretation.”
Mr. Hoar (Mass), chairman of the
judiciary committee, proposed a sub—
stitute, omitting all the preamble and
simply directing the judiciary commit-
tee to consider and report, by bill or
otherwise, what legislation, if any, is
necessary to carry out the statute of
1890 relating to commerce between the
states.
Mr. Tillman accepted the substitute,
and it was agreed to. The South Caro-
lina senator secured the insertion of
the dispensary law in the record for
the information, he said, of senators.
The Tarifl‘ Bill.
The first formal notice of a tariff
speech was made by Mr. Mantle (Sil.
Rep, Mon), who said he would address
the senate Friday on the wool schedule.
The tariff bill was then taken up. Mr.
Aldrich, who has been in charge thus
far, was not present, and Mr. Allison
(1a.) and Mr. Platt (Conn) sat togeth—
er and directed the course of the bill.
Mr. Stewart (Pop., Nev.) preceded the
debate by offering an amendment p-ro—
posing the maintenance of a treasury
reserve of $125,000,000 and the retirement
of bonds out of the surplus above $125,-
000,000. Mr. Stewart stated that a. pre-
vious amendment offered by him might
lead to injecting the silver question into
the tariff debate; so that he preferred
to strip the question of everything be—
yond a regulation of the treasury re-
serve. -
The consideration of the tariff bill
then began with schedule C, relating
to metals and manufactures of metals.
The paragraphs on iron in pigs and on
bar iron were the same in the house
and senate bills.
Mr. Jones of Arkansas took occasion
to make a. statement to show the at”
surdity, he said, of keeping up the taxes
on these products when the Am:rican
producer had absolute control of the
market and shipped large quantities
abroad. '
Concerning Great Combinations.
Mr. Jones reviewed the dissolution of
the steel rail combination. This re-
duced the price of steel rails 50 per cent,
he said, and why should a law protect
producers who could by combination
double their prices on steel rails? ’He
spoke also of the effect of this combina—
tion and that on wire nails in raising
the price to American consumers while
the same goods were being sold at lower
prices to foreign consumers. It was a
condition, he asserted, which should
arouse the people from ocean to ocean
until they stamped to pieces these com-
binations. Mr. Jones said the iron trade
was no longer an infant industry, but
had grown to giant proportions until
the United States led the world in iron
production.

Our Gold Production.
Washington, June 3.—Mr. Preston,
director of the mint, has completed his
estimate of the gold production in
South Dakota during the calendar year
1896, and finds it to have been 235,413
fine ounces. This is a gain over 1895 of
48,226 ounces, and places South Dakota
third in the list of gold producing
states. Director Preston says that if
the present rate of gold production con—
tinues through the year, the total out-
put for 1897 will reach $60,000,000, which
would be a gain over last year of $7,-
000,000.
