Middleman They Are Not Pleased With the New Tariff Schedule. HIGHER RATES 'DEM‘ANDED. Sena-tor Mantle Champions Their‘ Cause In Congress —— Manufacturers Versus Producers—Senator Butler Makes a Plea For an Income Tax. Washington, June 5.—W’hen 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 schedule, He said there had been no opportunity for presenting the wool- growers’ side of the contention in the other branch of congress for the reason that, owing to the brief time 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 past six years. By reason of the enormous fmportations 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 an'd 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 protectidn. “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 ‘aniple 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, and is regarded by 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 “'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.-—To the admission of washed wools of the second class without 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 permitevasions. Referring tothe 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 Grand’e'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 re- 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- turers 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. ‘ , Altgold 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 ls'not simply un— fair, but is absolutely untruthful. The testimony on which the report is based was shown to be untruth’ful. 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 reciprmity treaty, said the report was utterly ridiculous, and added that he waslhere': solely to represent .I-Iawaii a. .now under arrest; Sam Crow, Standing reported his arrest, and the department the queen's jubilee. .. - p - . ’ gmlHErvjEm-N GAGA-2E T TE. u..- -n. _ THEY su, And Thousands: Echo Their Sentiment. ‘ ~.

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 Indians are off the reservation 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 irl the murder of. young Hoover are Philip Badger, Elk and a. half brother of Chief Red Bird. The last three are still at large. Standing Elk is a graduate of Carlisle university. 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. No Word From Stouch. Washington, June 5.-—The Indian of- fice has had no word from Agent Stouch at the Cheyenne agency.
