Tariff Schedule.

. HIGHER RATES DEMANDED.
Senator Mantle Champions Their Cause
In Congress -— Manufacturers Versus '
Producers—Senator Butler Makes
a Plea For in Income Tax.
Washington, .June 5.—When the sen-
ate met, the tariff bill was immediately
taken up to allow Senator Mantle (Sil—
ver Rep., Mon.) to deliver his previ-
ously announced .speech on the wool
He said there had been no
opportunity‘for presenting the wool-
growers’ side of the contention in the
othér branch of congress for the reason
that, owing to the br1ef't1me allowed for
debate, the wool schedule never had
been reached in that body. He present-
ed fully and supported with numerous
tables and statistics the woolgrOWers
side of the controversy, contending that
enormous losses had been sustained by
the woolgrowers in the depreciation in
value of sheep and wool during the pas-t
six years. By reason of the enormous
importations in anticipation of the en-
actment of the tariff law, the wool-
grower would not receive much benefit
from a protective tariff for four years
to come. He continued:
Woolgrowers Indignant.
“Whenever a tariff law is to be en-
acted the powerful manufacturing in-
terests of the country, with their com-
pact and effective organizations, are al-
ways in the committee rooms pressing
their claims and pushing their inter-
ests, while the farmers‘and woolgrow-
ers and producers of raw materials
generally are an isolated and scattered
class and are lacking in effective .or-
ganization. Hence in the past their in-
terests have been neglected, and they
have not received their just share of
protection
“The great majority of the wool-
growers of the country are protection-
ists and Republicans. Most of them
are believers in the free coinage of gold
and silver independently by this coun-
try, but the question of protection and
free coinage having been divided in the
last campaign, the woolgrowers, ac—
cepting the pledge contained in the Re-
publican national platform in form of
fample protection for wool,’ and beliv-
ing protection to be the paramount is-
sue, cast their “votes in the doubtful
states for President McKinley and
elected him.
“The tariff bill as it passed the house
and as now amended by the senate ut-
terly fails to meet the expectations of
the woolgrowers,
them largely as a repudiation of the
Republican pledge of ‘ample protection
for wool.’ The woolgrowers of the
country are indignant over this treat-
ment of their interests, and warn the
Republicans that they must change the
proposed rates or they will lose the
support of this numerous element in
ensuing campaigns.”
The McKinley law, the speaker said,
did not afford the necessary protection
to the woolgrowers. It was full of
lOopholes permitting fraud and eva-
sions.
‘ The W'oolgrowers’ Objections.
The senator quoted Senator Aldrich's
statement that the proposed senate
rates would give from 10 to 20 per cent
more protection to the woolgrower than
he had ever received under any former .
tariff and produced statistics to show
that the proposed rates were much
lower, instead of being higher. He enu-
merated the objections of the wool-
growers as follows:
First.——To the Skirting clause.
Second—To the ad valorem duties on
third class wools. _
Third.-—-T0 the admission of washed
wools of the second classwithout pay—
ment of additional duties.
Fourth—To the admission of washed
and scoured wools of the third class
without the payment of additional du-
ties.
Fifth—To the imperfect classifica—
tions which permit evasions.
Referring to the large importation of
cheap Chinese and other wool produced
by like cheap labor, and Which comes
into competition with American grown
wools at rates of duty which Mr. Man—
tle said afforded no protection what-
ever, he inquired if this policy were not
quite as hurtful to the American wool-
grower as Chinese cheap labor to the
industrial wage earners of the country.
The bill was passed appropriating
$225,000 for a‘public building at Wilkes-
barre, and the house amendments to
the relief resolution for the sufferers
by the Rio Grande river overflow were
agreed to.
While Mr. Mantle was referring to
the opposition of the wool manufactur-
ers against the woolgrowers, 'Mr. Platt
(Conn), who, with Mr. Allison. was in
charge of the bill for the day, arose to
state that he'did not regard the le-
marks fair to the bulk of the wool
manufacturers. Some wanted. free
wool; some did not. But he believed
that the general sentiment of wool man-
ufacturers throughout the country was
favorable to a sufficient duty on wool.
Mr. Mantle answered that he did not
mean that there was an active warfare,
but experience had shown that there
was a hostility by the wool manufac-
tur ers against the growers.
Mr. Butler (N. C.) followed Mr. Man-
tle with a speech-on his joint resolu-
tion to amend the constitution so as to
give congress the power to impose in-
come taxes.

I. Altgeld Denies the Charges.
Chicago, June 5.—-—Former Governor
John P. Altgeld denies the charges
-brought against him in the report of
'the special committee of the state sen-
ate. The charges related to the failec.’
Globe Savings bank. The former gov-
ernor says: “So far as Senator Berry's
report is concerned, It is not simply un-
fair, but- is absolutely untruthful. The
testimony on which the report is based
was shown to be untruthful. It is in-
tended simply for political effect."
Hawaii Not For England.
London, June 5.—-—Minister Damon of
Hawaii, in an interview relative to the
report that his mission is connected
with the proposed cession of Hawaii
to Great Britain in the event of the
United States congress abrogating the
reciprofity treaty, said the report was
utterly ridiculous, and added that he
was here solely to represent Hawaii at
the queen’s jubilee.

Badger, the Cheyenne, Thus Explains the
Murder of Young Hoover.
Miles City, Mon., June 5.——Captain
Reed, commanding the Fort Custer sol-
diers at the reservation, has sent out a
long document for publication, telling
the families to return and that the troops
are sure. to protect both the Indians
and white people. This statement is
claimed by the whites to be absurd, for
it is a fact that 200.1ndians are off the
reserva ation and not under submission.
The settlers on Otter creek. east of
Tongue river, are gathering at the Cir-
cle Barr ranch and are building a stone
fort in which to protect their wives
and children from the Indians. It is
learned that the Sioux have declined to
come and aid the Cheyennes.
It is claimed that the Indians are
supplied with government arms and
ammunition, and that the Indian agent
and his subordinates are endeavoring
to keep the sheriff and his deputies
from going upon the reservation, which
is necessary in order to secure evidence
to convict the murderers when brought
to trial. This is causing a strong de-
mand for the removal of Indian Agent
Stouch by the authorities at Washing-
ton.
The Indians implicated in the murder
of young Hoover are Philip Badger,
now under arrest; Sam Crow, Standing
Elk and' a. half brother of Chief Red
Bird. The last three are still at large.
Standing Elk is a graduate of Carlisle
Badger, since his arrest,
has confessed to the interpreter at the
reservation. When asked why he com-
mitted the crime, Badger said he did it
just for fun.
