The placing. of the bill on the statute books ended one of the longest and most remarkable (struggles in the parliamen- tary history of the government. It was practically a year ago that the preparation of the new tariff law was commenced. The extraordinary session of congress was call- ed Aug. 7, 1898, for the purpose of repeal ing the Sherman silver purchasing law. Two weeks later the ways and cleans committee of'thc house, with Mr. Wilson of West Virginia as chairman, was ap— pointed, and almost immediately the work of framing the Democratic tariff reform measure began. Months were spent in its preparation, and it was not reported until after the holidays during the regular session be ginning in December. " For threo'wtoeks it was debated in the house, passing that body July 20 by a vote of 204 to NO. Seventeen house Door ocrats voted against it. The bill went to the senate and after being considered un‘ til March 20 was reported, greatly changed from the house bill. The debate, which began in the senate April 2, lasted until July ii. when the bill passed by a vote of 89 to 34. , The crisis occurred when the bill roach- ad conference. On Aug. iii the house yielded and accepted the senate bill in toto. Two days afterward, Wednesday, Aug. 1:3, it wont to the president, and at the expiration of the constitutional it] days (Sundays not counted) it became a law without lilr.

"lion. ’1‘. C. f‘atchings: "MY limit Stu—Since the conversation I had with you and Mr. (‘lark of Alabama a few days ago in regard to my action upon the tariff bill now before me i have given tho subject further and most serious consideration. The rcsult is I am more aettlcd than over in the determination to allow the bill to become a law without my signature. "When the formulation of legislation which, it was hoped, would embody Demo cratic ideas of turf! reform was lately entered upon by the congress, nothing was further from my anticipation than a re suit which I could not promptly and en- thuaiasticnllyindorsc. "It is therefore with a feeling of the utmost disappointment that I submit to a denial of this privilege. “I do not claim to be better than the masses of my party, nor do i wish to avoid any responsibility which on account of the passage of this law I ought to hour as a member of the Democratic orgaulra. tion. Neither will I permit myself to be separated from my party to such an or tent us might be implied by my veto of tariff legislation which, though disap- pointing. is still chargeable to Democrat in oflort. "But there are provisions in this bill which are not in line with honest tariff reform, and it contains inconsistencies and crudities which ought not to appear in tariff laws or laws of any kind. lie- sidss there were, as you and I well know, incidents accompanying the passage of the bill through the congress which made every sincere tarifl reformer unhappy. while influences surrounded it in its lot or stages and interfered 'with its final construction which ought not to be rccog nlzcd or tolerated in Democratic tariff rc- form councils.

"1 am sure that there is a common habit of underestimating the importance of free raw materials in tariff legislation and of regarding them as only related to concussions to be made to our manufac- turers.

'i‘hercupon justice and fair- ness to the consumer would demand that the manufacturers be obliged to submit to such a readjustment and modification . of the tariff upon their finished goods as would secure to the people the benefit of the reduced cost of their manufacture and shield the consumer against the emotion. of inordinate profits. “It will thus be soon that free raw ma- terials and a just and fearless regulation and reduction of the tariff to meet the changed conditions would carry to every humble home in the loud the blessings of increased comfort and cheaper living. “The millions of our countrymen who have fought bravely and well for tariff ro- form should be exhorted to continuethe struggle, boldly challenging to open war- fare and constantly guarding against treachery and half heartcdncss in their camp.

Sid—Japan has at last succeeded in an object very dear to her people and for which the government has strlven with all efforts of diplomacy for mauy years. News has been received here by the diplomatic corps that a new treaty has Just been negotiated between Japan and Great Britain by the terms of which the claim "of extra territorial iiuris» diction by the latter is abandoned. Negotiations looking to the ratification of similar treaties are going on between Japan and the T'nltod States and other European nations than (trout liritain, and it is assumed that they will now speedily follow the cxamplcsct by the lat- ter and fully recognize the right of Japan to administer justice in her own territory. The importance of Great Britain's ac- tion, which, by the way. rather tonds to discredit the stories that she is Milo to Japan in her present war, lies in the fact of the recognition of Japan as a fully civ> ilizcd power, The assertion of extra territorial juris diction has always been confined to bar- barous and semiclvilizcd countries whose ignorance of the first principles of justico and law secured to render imperative the retention by tho civilized nations of the power to administer justice where their own citizens were concerned, even as against natives of a somicivilized country and within its borders. This has been done through the medium of consular courts, and the system obtains in Egypt, China, Japan. Turkey and many other, countries In be nato Ind House.

Cmcaco, Aug. 28.-—Goorge M. Pull man was before the labor commission for nearly three hours. Vice President Wicker, who followed his superior, occu- pied two hours and will appear again. At the outset of his testimony Mr. Pull. man made a careful preliminary state— ment of his position toward the commis- sion and defined the motives which had moved the company to establish its plant and homes for workingmen as it had. In- answer to queries by Chairman Wright. Mr. Pullman told of the con. tracts for work undertaken by the compa- ny at a loss in order that the men might be kept at work; He said: “I found we were being underbid by other companies even where we had figured the work down to cost. I finally put in bids below cost rather than to have the men idle. Up to the timo'of the strike we had lost more than $50,000 in pursuit of this policy. I explained this personally to the men when they were holding their conferences with Mr. Wickes." . Mr. \Vlckos Would Toll. Herc Mr. Koruan interrupted to ask, if the company had not promised to dis» charge none of the committee that waited on Wickcs and whether the promise had been kept. Mr. Pullman said he did not know, but Mr. Wickcs'wcuid tell. Mr. Kernun then asked, “Were the books shown to the men?" "No. they Were not because the men did not apply to see thorn. and the strike came Friday. " "There Were old grievances, were there not?" “There were, but Mr. Wickcs and Mr. Brown had promised tho men to take them up and remedy them wherever there was Just cause for complaint.” Judge Worthington asked, "As to this reported declaration of yours that you had nothing to arbitrate, were you cor- rectly reported?” "I have already explained my views on that subject." . “Now, Mr. Pullman," said Commission- sr Worthington, "taking the whole year through, has the Pullman company made or lost money?" "It has made money, " was the answer. “You have paid your regular divl~ deeds?" "Yes, sir—8 per cent.” "That is something like $2,800,000 you have paid out in dividends for the year?" "Yes, but that includes tha'latter part of the World's fair season which was ex- coptional. ” "Let me ask you, Mr. Pullman, whether you do not think acompany that pays div- idends of $2,800, 000 could not afford to share the losses of its employees who have worked for it so long?" “The manufacturing business is sepa- rate from the sleeping our business. I see no reason why I should take the profits of the 4,200 stockholders in the Pullman Sleeping Car company and pay men a higher rate of wages than was paid in other parts of the country for the same work or than was paid by other companies for the same work. Because we have been careful and accumulated a surplus I do not see that it is a reason we should take the surplus now and pay it out for excep- tionally high wages." "Has the Pullman company during the years of its prosperity ever advanced the wages of its employees voluntarily?" Nover Advanced Wages. "I do not know as to that. it has al- ways sought to pay fair wages. and the fact that we have nevorbad but. one strike is pretty gw‘evideuco that the men have been satisilou. " “What do you see that is objectionable in submitting a difference like this to ar- filtration?" "There are some matters that are prop‘ or subjects for arbitration, but I cannot arbitrate on a question where I know the facts to be thus and so. The question as to whether our shops should continue to run at a loss is a thing that could not be arbitrated. ‘ ’ "Why was it impossible?" “Because it violates the principle that a man has a right to manage his own busi. ness. " "Suppose that arbitrators were to say to you: 'l'i'c see you are losing money, but those mcn have been with you along while. You can afford to share their losses. We think that you should at least pay them a living wago.’ What would you say to that?" “My point at the time was to work with the men and secure the disbursement of thelnrge sums involved in the contracts and lose money for the company if the harm would agree to bear their share in a reduction of 20 to 2.3 per cent in their wages." Officials' Salaries Not Retiuced. .lutlgc Worthington wanted to know wherein it was wrong to take money of the atmtkholdcrs and pay higher wages when the management Was ready to take contracts at a loss or to take the stock» holders' money to keep the plant going. Mr. Pullman said the execution of con. tracts at a loss was better for the plant than to let it He idle. "So." interrupted Mr. Kornmt, “you had that in view as wall as the employ- ment of the men? You did not want to stop the plant because you knew that would be a loss to stockholders, and you did not want to scatter your man because you know it would be difficult to get a force together again like them?" i t Y“. t I ‘ “Was your salary reduced?” The witness replied that it was not. “Nor the salaries of superintendents 1w forcmsul" “N0.” ‘ li“'hy"7‘ lilr.
