The Much Talked of Schedule Come
Before the Statesman.
TILLMAN ON THE TARIFF
He Pleads For the Farmer and Says H
\Vants to Help the South—Mr.
Cannon’s Agricultural Export
Bounty Is ‘Defeated.
Washington, June 11.—The senate be
gan work at 11 a. m,,.and the tariff bil
was taken up as Mi as the routim
business was out of the way. Mr. Till
man (S. C.) took the floor on the pend
ing amendment of Mr. Cannon (Utah)
prox‘ziding an export bounty on agricul
tural products. He said he desired tht
attention of his associates, and as tht
attendance was meager he noted tln
absence of a quorum. The call dis
closed 54 senators present, nine more
than a quorum, and Mr. Tillman pro-
ceeded. He said the tariff debate hac
disclosed a nebulous condition in the
minds of senators. The Republican sen
ators sat quietly, apparently controllec
by the caucus, refusing to discuss the
iniquities of the bill and unanimously
voting for the exactions in behalf 0.-
trusts and monopolies.
“Don’t Know “’here They’re At.”
“On the other hand,” proceeded Mr
Tillman, “the Democrats are in a pe~
riod of transition. They don’t know
where they’re at. The older, more ex
perienced proclaim their allegiance to
the old time honored doctrines. ‘Ve
had an impassioned speech W'ednesday
(by Mr. Mills) in behalf of the W'alkei
tariff principles, brought forward at
this late day as Democratic doctrines
Secession, nullification and other issues
which have passed out of the minds
of men might s well be brought here.
“The tariff is merely a question 01
policy as to how the government will
raise its revenue. I say without hesi-
tation it is to the best interest of the
American people that the articles con
sumed by our people should be pro
duced by our people. If that is Re-
publican doctrine, well and good. II
that is not Democratic doctrine, it
ought tobe.”
Mr. Tillman went on to show that (li-
versified industries gave diversified
means of labor. As to the farmers, the
need was not for more farmers, but for
a. tariff which lT-O longer would rob the
farmers we have. The. farmer stood,
his skinny, bony hand outstretched, ask—
ing this export bounty to overcome the
robbery of the present system, and yet
senators sat in stony silence expecting
this idotic farmer, with the mortgage
gnawing on his home, not to know that
they refuse to give him relief.
Prepared to Throw Rocks.
Mr. Tillman vehemently pledged his
word to his colleagues that they would
not deceive the farmers and that the
9,000,000 followers Of the plow “will set-
tle with you at the ballot box.”
Referring to any bill not giving ade—
quate relief to farmers, Mr. Tillman
exclaimed, “I am prepared to throw
some rocks that will stagger some of
you men.”
The senator analyzed the extent of
agricultural interests throughout the
country, including the south, “the Ish-
maelite, the section that has had no
rights since the war.”
While that section had labored under
the ban of secession, paying billions as
a result of its attempt to secede, it was
still face to face with the demand of
the horse leech, crying “More, more,
more.” This section and the agricul-
tural interests always had been at the
mercy of tariff bills, which found their
genesis in the benefits conferred on New
England.
As Mr. Tillman spoke the galleries
filled in anticipation of a lively time.
T‘Vhile speaking with his usual vehe-
mence of voice and gesture, the senator
adopted an argumentative style to show
that the farmer was receiving the bur-
dens without the benefits of the tariff.
When he referred at one point to the
.Chicago platform declaration on the
tariff, it brought Mr. Vest to his feet in
explanation. He voted in the Chicago
convention amid great uproar and con-
fusion, said Mr. Vest, for the long and
in part nebulous platform.
That Little Word "Only.”
He never kneflntil it had come out
here that the word “only” had been left
out of the declaration for a tariff for
revenue. “If I had known it,” proceeded
Mr. Vest, “I would have risen in my
place and moved to insert it, for it is in
the. creed of the Democratic party. And
I believe a majority of the convention
did not know of the omission, as all our
attention was concentrated on the mon-
ey issue.”
Proceeding. Mr. Tillman turned to his
Democratic associates and said they now
had a chance, with the votes of a few
Republican senators "‘not lost to all
sense of shame and decency,” to give
some measure of relief to the farmers.
They would'receive little or no benefit
from the duty on cotton and cereals.
They asked for bread and were given a
stone. They asked some relief, and
Democratic senators set up a mummy
and labeled it “tariff for revenue only."
,“Great God! Such Democracy!” ex-
gejmed Mr Tillman with dramatic em-
phasis. ' " "
. DemOCI‘atic senators had spoken of a
“new evangel,” he said, and had twit-
ted him and others for leading the Dem-
ocratic party into the Republican camp.
These senators, instead of offering the
cardinal Democratic doctrine of equal-
ity, gave the Sodom apple of “Tariff for
revenue only” to their constituents.
“You are holding the telescope with
the big end to your eye," declared Mr.
Tillman, addressing his associates,
"and at tl’e little end you see the leg-
end, ‘Tariff for revenue only,’ instead
of that great doctrine of Democracy,
equal rights for all, special privileges
for none."
To Help the South.
In conclusion, the senator said he be-
lieved in securing for the south as
many benefits as possible.
He arraigned Republican senators for
the inequalities of their legislation and
for “keeping Cuba under the heel of
V‘Veyler.” They claimed, he said, to be
followers of Lincoln, “but you are un-
worthy to tie the shoe latches of that
great man,” he said. The Democratic
senators claimed to be followers of Jet-
ferson, while they were abandoning
Jefferson’s cardinal principle of equal
rights to the people.
Mr. Allen (Neb.) briefly spoke in favor
of an export bounty.

readiness to support the export bounty
amendment if modified so as to confine
the bounty to goods exported in vessels
flying the flag of the United States and
documented in custom houses of the
United States. He proposed an amend-
ment to this effect.
There was some opposition to this
from Mr. Tillman and Mr. Allen, but
Mr. Cannon, author of the original
amendment, said he was disposed, as a
means of securing the support of Mr.
Perkins and others on the Republican
side of the chamber, to accept this new
proposition if 75 per cent of the bounty
should go to the agricultural exporter and
25 per cent to the American vessel. Mr.
Perkins declined to accept this sugges-
tion, saying he was not seeking a sub-
sidy for the vessel men, but merely to
limit the bounty to goods, carried in
American ships. The Utah senator
could, Mr. Perkins said, either accept or
reject the amendment as a whole. Mr.
Cannon declined to accept the amend-
ment, and Mr. Perkins thereupon with-
drew it.
No Agricultural Export Bounty.
The discussion became general, many
senators engaging in a “crisscross de-
bate,” as Mr. Tillman termed it, as to
the effect of the bounty on shipping.
The vote was then taken on the Cannon
amendment providing an export boun-
ty for agricultural products, and it was
defeated—yeas, ‘10; nays, 59. The af-
firmative vote was given by Messrs.
Allen, Butler, Stewart, Harris (Kan),
Heitfeld, Populists; Cannon, Mantle,
Pettigrew, silver Republicans; Roach
and Tillman, Democrats.
Mr. Tillman announced that his col-
league (Mr. McLaurin) would have
voted for the amendment. This closed
the consideration of the cereal para-
graph of the agricultural schedule, and
Mr. Allison, in charge of the bill, asked
that the further consideration of the
agricultural schedule be postponed and
that the senate go back to the sugar
schedule. There was no opposition, and
the senate thereupon entered upon the
consideration of the sugar schedule.
The Sugar Schedule.
Mr. Pettigrew (S. D.) gave notice he
would offer his amendment to admit
free of duty goods made by trusts, in
connection with the schedule. The
original amendments of the senate
committee were withdrawn by Mr. Al—
lison without objection. The house
provisions were then taken up. In con-
nection with the first paragraph of the
schedule (206), Mr. Allison asked that
the proviso relating to the Hawaiian
Islands go over. He said in this con-
nection that the action of the senate
committee relative to the Hawaiian
proposition was not due to any pur—
pose to exclude Hawaiian sugar. The
committee had never considered the
question and had let it go over for fu-
ture consideration. Later, he thought,
a proposition on that branch of the sub—
ject would be presented, but for the
present he asked that it go over. Mr.
Allison, in behalf of the committee,
then moved an amendment striking out
1 875—1000 and inserting 1 95—100 as the
duty on refined sugars. Mr. Jones
(Ark.) was recognized for a speech on
the general features of the sugar sched—
ule.
The senator had before him small
bottles showing the various grades of
sugar, raw and refined, and with these
illustrated his argument as he proceed-
ed. He asserted that the new sugar
proposition would increase the profits
of the sugar refiners in every point. If
that was the purpose of the managers
of the bill they should let it be kfiown.
He was in favor of a tax on sugar, but
he believed that it should be made as
light as possible and should give no
special benefit to anybody by the way
in which the duty was arranged. He
said there should be a single r33 on
raw and refined sugar, giving One-
eighth of a cent additional,which would
make the rate plain.
O‘Connell For Solicitor.
Washington, June 11.—The president
nominated Maurice D. O’Connell of
Iowa to be solicitor of the treasury.

Turkey \Vill Leave Thessaly.
Constantinople, June 11.—Since the
last conference between the embassa—
dors of the powers and Tewfik Pasha,
the Turkish minister for foreign affairs,
the Ottoman officials have been more
conciliatory on the subject of Thessaly,
and it is now believed Turkey will yield
on that point and agree to withdraw
her troops. This change of front is said
to be due to counsels from abroad.
Indian Trouble Probably Over.
Washington, June 11.—Officials of the
Indian office believe the disturbance
among the Cheyennes at the Tongue
River Agency, Mon., is over. No report
has been received from Captain Stouch
since last Sunday, which is taken as an
indication that the braves have quietly
acquiesced in the arrest of the Indian
murderer and dispersed.
A Corner In Beef?
New York. June 11.—Another rise in
the price of beef is predicted by the re-
tail dealers, and they and the whole-
salers are indignantly denying that
they could prevent the increase if they
wished. They say the “big four” com—
bination Of packers in Chicago has cor-
nered the market.
Tragedian Taylor Dead.
Philadelphia, June 11.—James Hughes
Taylor, a veteran tragedian of wide
reputation, is dead at Downingtown,

who was a native of Philadelphia, was
73 years of age.

ing with great sympathy and support
