EDITORIAL LETTER.
WASHINGTON, J uly‘30, ’88.
DEAR GAZETTa:——The Republican major-
ity of the Senate after a careful view of
the situation have decidedto prepare and
at least report a bill, making such modifi-
cations of the existing tariff laws as shall
correct conceeded errors and abuses and
while discriminating as directly in favor
of Protection to American manufacturers
as the Mills bill does for the benefit of
English manufacturers, will at the same
time tend to a reduction of our hourly in-
creasing surplus. It is well understood
that any bill formulated by the Republican
Senate that does not incorporate as its
fundamental idea the free trade features
of the Confederate Constitution will be
voted down by the free trade majority in
the House.
This decision means a long tariff debate
in the Senate and a prolongation of the
Senate far into August if not into Septem-
ber. This will be patiently borne by Scri-
ators, but many democratic members of
the House, whose rc- elections have been
put in joepardy by their having voted for
the Mills bill, will be terribly i'estivc till
they can get released and on to the stump
to try and lie away the one indisputable
fact that the Mills bill is a long, long step
on the downward road to free trade. In
the meantime all our Ct. manufacturers of
whatever name or nature affected in any
way by the proposed changes in the Mills
bill should send to our Senators at
once all the facts in their possession or at.
tainable as to the" effect any change will
have on their business and interests.
Especially should our hattm do this. The
long and respectful petition scnt J udgc
Granger, to have the present tariff on bats
raised, was promptly shoved into the pig-
eon holc of the Ways and Means Commit-
tee of the House and probably no human
eye ever even glanced over its pages after
Mr. Granger submitted it. At all events,
it. is a fact well known that now on many
styles of hats, England can manufacture
them, and pay duty and place them in our
markets and drive out American made
hats of same grades, for the simple reason
that the English manufacture has paid to
his workmen not quite one Ital)“ the wages
paid to the American J our Hatters.
This matter of forwarding petitions and
information, by practical dealers, and
manufactures to the Senate, should not be
postponed a single day but be forwarded
here with all possible dispatch.
The Republican members of the Senate
Committee on Finance are working day
and night to complete the tariff bill, ex-
pect to have it ready to lay before the full
committee at the next regular meeting to-
morrow. Until then nothing will be posi-
tively known about the detail contents of
the bill.
If the people of this country do not be—
come thoroughly informed on the question
it will not be for want of tariff literature.
There have already been distributed a
million and a half copies of President
Cleveland’s last Message, three-quarters of
a million of Chairman Mills’ tariff speech,
half a million of Carlisle’s, a quarter of a
million of Scott’s, and so on. To this will
probably be added several tens of Repub-
lican speeches and tracts on the same sub-
ject. '
A WARNING.
chll~k uown Brooklyn Democrat speak-
ing of the bill which recently passed the
Senate adjusting the claims of laborers
arising under the Eight-Hour law, said :
“There appears to be a disposition on the
part of certain democratic members of the
House to smother this bill. If that pro-
gramme is carried out I think Cleveland
will lose 15,000 democratic votes in the
cities of New York and Brooklyn.
PENSION m1 Ls.
Republican Mr. Burrows persists in not
allowing unanimous consent to be given
for any resolution setting aside days for
the consideration of special measures, un-
less a provision is included setting aside a
day for the consideration of the dependent
pension bill. The fbi'eign affairs commit-
tee tried Friday to have a day assigned
them for the purpose of considering the
bills for the centennial celebrations pro—
posed to be held at Washington. Mr.
Burrows said he had not the least objec
tion—if the resolutions could be amended
so as to give the invalid pensions commit-
tee a day. This (as democrats voted solid-
ly against it) was objection enough to de-
feat the proposition. This dependent pen-
sion bill and the arrearagc bill, stand on
the calendar to frighten off every attempt
on the part of democrats to take up mat-
ters they are anxious to act upon. They.
do not want to pass these bills and many
are afraid to vote against them, and thus
are hedging and dodging the issue in a
most ludicrous way.
INTERNAL REVENUE.
The above, which is the only ”war tax”
against which democrats have hurlcdthcir
bitter-est anathems and fairly howled for a
repeal, upto the moment the Chicago plat-
form recommended its extinction, is now
laid before the people in the Commission—
crs’ preliminary report just out of the
operations of the Internal Revenue Bureau
for the fiscal year ended J uric 30, 1888.
The total collections for the year were
$124,326,474, as'against $118,837,301 for
the previoris fiscal year, being an increase
of $5,489,173. The cost of collection for
the year was $3,983,000, exclusive of the
amount expended for the printing of in—
ternal revenue stamps. In case this amount
is not increased by items yet to be settled,
the percentage of cost of collection will be
about 3.2 per cent. of the amount eollcct—
ed. The collections we're made up as fol-
lows: On spirits, $68,306,166, an increase
of $3,476,845; on tobacco, $30,662,431, an
increase of $554,364; on fcmcntcd liquors, '
$23,324,218, an increase of $1,402,031; on
oleomargarinc, $864,140, an increase of
$140,192; banks and bankers, $4,203, a
decrease of $86,- on miscellaneous, $165,—
316, a decrease of $84,172. The collections
were greatest in Illinois, New York, Ken—
tucky, and Ohio, in the order named, and
smallest in New Mexico, Alabama, South
Carolina and Arkansas in the order named.
There was an increase of 278,220,900
cigarettes and 56,421,207 cigars manufact-
ured in the year.
FRENCH SPOILATION.
After waiting nearly a century before
consenting to do anything in regard to the
money which the United States assumed
to pay to those of its citizens who had
been despoilcd by France in the Ncpolc—
onic period Congress three years ago rc—
fcri'cd the matter to the Court of Claims.
This court passed upon and approved a
certain number of the French claims and
all Congress has left to do is to vote the
money to discharge the debt. The House
Committee on Appropriations now raises
the objection that the claims are stale and
it is opposed to granting the money. This
is as infamous as for a solvent man to
stand off his creditors for six years and
their plead the statute of limitations.
Ex-Senator Cagin has several eastern
Ct. cases allowed. I’Iis Norwalk and
vicinity cases are all ready for trial. but
the determination of the Democrats in the
House not to appropriate for the judg—
ments granted by the Court of Claims.
adds a new and disheartening feature to
cd claims. Would not the average demo-
cratic congressman now howling himself
hoarse about the surplus, do well to aid in
the payment of the Nation’s thousands of
unpaid, but honest debts. '
THE PRESIDENT'S JI'NKET.
It is criticised by democrats more severe-
ly than by republicans here that the Presi-
dent should have skipped off on a fishing
frolic when so specially nccdcd hcrc to_sigu
bills. He could find no time to give a few
hours to the Soldiers’ Memorial services,
nor could he, for want of time, as he said,
attend the reunion at Gettysburg on the
4th. But here at the end of a long ses—
sion, with scores of bills awaiting his
signature, he slips off “like a. thief in the
night,” on a most inopportunc and frivol-
ous excursion. The stories which come
back here from him are to the effect that
his voyage after the elusive blue fish was
“choppy and nasty” and that the Presi—
dent threw up about everything except his
rcnomination. Of course the regulation
stories of his catching the most and big.
gcst fish are current. Seine of his friends
are so indiscrcat as to excuse his discredit-
ablc absence from Washington‘ 'on the
ground that his physical naturcis abnorm-
ally such he must seek relief betimcs, in a
junkct. If it be true that he is the victim
of such physical infirmity it is to be hoped
that hereafter he may be able to restrain
his “periodical” till :i more convenient
season. It is also stated that he is to give
birth to his long delayed letter of accept-
ance and a lot of his close friends methim
on shipboard to help him ‘ hedge" and
trim sail on the tariff issue, as it 18 feared
his free trade message is becoming a fatal
bomerang.
Chief J usticc Fuller is in the city irn—
patiently awaiting the President’s return.
He was invited hero by Exceulive order
to receive his commission and when he
arrived was not a little chagriued to learn
that the President “was all at sea."
SUBMITTED To A REFEREE.
The claim of $120,000 against the. gov”
eminent of I-layti, growing out of the im—
prisonment and death of Charles Adrian
Van 'Bokkclan, a citizen of the United
States, has been submitted by agreement
of the two governments for decision to A.
Porter Morse, of this city, as i-cfcrcc. It
is a pity our Worthy Mr. [latch could not
have had a similar reference of his claim
against the black republic of 8211110 Domin-
go.
PERSONAL.
Hon. Wm. H. Barnum was here last
week “for the good of the cause."
Mrs. Senator Hawlcy expects to go to
Newport the present wcck.
U. S. Treasurer Hyatt left for Noi'walk
Friday to remain till Monday.
Treasurer Ilyatt’s youngest brother
George of San Francisco, is here, enjoying
the city with master John.
“Al.” Relyea is back at his official desk
again. His short trip home did him good
if he could not restore any political fences.
He has now fully recovered from the dc-
moralizing effects of his Texas trip and
bath.
Rev. Dr. Childs expects to be gone “all
summer” on his visit to the “altogether
lovely” Utes of Southern Colorado. We
fear the good Doctor, on his return will be
obliged to console himself largely as Mr.
Lincoln’s swine raiser did. The hog-
cliolera devastcd his animals utterly, but
he remarked to a sympathizer, that while
it. was a terrible blow yet he should ever
cherish the recollection that he had the
pleasure of their company up from the
time they were little pigs.
“Mental, moral and physical wreck "
Black, Commissioner of Pensions, denies
the rumors to the effect that the President
has asked for his rcsignaiion,to take effect
after the election in November. It will
be regretted that the rumor is not true, by
every friend of the Union soldier.
There is a “bitch" in the reported sale
of the Edison Telephone for a million of
dollars. This is the wonderful invention,
previously sold to the company which had
its headquarters at Norwalk and of which
Senator Chandler, Gardiner Hubbard, the
father-in-law of Prof. Bell, and other Nor-
walk citizens are directors.
Mr. Edward Haywood returned here
from Hartford on Friday, with his father
in a very precarious state of health.
Senator Platt left Friday for Ct., spend-
ing Saturday and Sunday With his family
at Mcriden. Mon day night he is to ad—
dress the Republican club of Pautucket,
R. I.. where he will be the guest of Rev.
Mr. Walley, returning here on Tuesday.
Mr. Geo. W. Seavcr of Vt., who was
Senator Platl’s secretary and stenographer
for several sessions, and recently Enrolling
Clerk of the Senate, was burr-led on Satur-
day. 110 was a most worthy and highly

0 Honest Democracy.
The following facts taken from the
Congressional Directory, show the man-
ner in which honest dcnrocracy secures a
majority in the House of Representatives.
The State of Alabama sends eight con—
gressmen with a total vote of 71,704;
Arkansas sends five with a total vote of
52,637; Georgia sends ion with a total
vote of 27,525; while here in the little
State of Connecticut it takes 123,105 votes
to elect four congressmen, or 28,761 votes
less than it takes to elect twenty-three
Congressmen in the South.

Charles E. Stevens, a life-long and old
time Democrat, a devoted follower of Hora-
tio Seymour and a gentleman of high social
standing, who has been a democratic candi-
date for Mayor of Syracuse, and who has
filled many local offices, publishes a letter
in the Syracuse Journal, in which he gives
his reason for denouncing the Democracy of
the Cleveland era, and for giving his sup-
dort and vote to the party of protection and
its candidate, General Harrison. Mr.
Stevens plainly states that he “cannot fol-
low his party this fall in its crusade to estab-
lish and carry into (affect its doctrines and
practices of free trade in this country.”
Among those who have left the Demo-
crats and joined the Harrison and Morton
column at Hornellsville, N. Y., are the fol-
lowing: Simon ’1urk, a leading clothier;
J nines Gray, retired business man; A. L.

ofiice; F. Falkenberg, druggist; Charles and
Michael McGuire, hardware merchants;
John Kennalys boot and shoe (merchant;
Dennis IIefi‘erman, hotel proprietor; John
McCrcvy, merchant. It is an undisputed
fact that a revolution in favor of protection
has taken place all along the Erie road.from
NY. city to Buflitlo,mauy of the most prom-
inent Democrats openly proclaiming for the
Republican platform and candidates.
S. Clive of Belmont, Mass, a democrat
of the old school, publicly denounces
Cleveland and his free trade message.
Several members of the Grand Army of
the Republic of Gattaraugus, N. Y., who
earnestly supported Cleveland for Presi—

and a veteran of the war, denounces Cleve-
land, for whom he was a worker in the
previous campaign.
Gen. James A. Walker of Wytlrcvillc,
Va., who was lieutenant-governor of the
state under the democratic rule of Gover-
nor Holiday, lras come into the republican
ranks. He says that he cannot stand free
trade and cannot vote for Cleveland. He
declares that Southwest Virginia will go
for Harrison and Morton.
The Saturday News, Lewisburg, Pm,
heretofore an independent journal, with a
.dccided leaning toward the democracy,
declares for Harrison and Morton. It
says: “The time has come now when
party prejudice must be laid aside and the
American people should vote with the
party that has built up this grand country
and sustained it against the encroach-
ments of free trade and foreign interfer-
ence." .
Thomas [1. Marvel of Kennct Square
Philadelphia, who has voted the demo-
cratic ticket for twenty-five years, has.dc-
clnrcd his intention of supporting Harri-
son :iud Morton and protection. He is
extensively engaged in mining koalin,
and says that he cannot support a party
that wants to ruin his business. William
Griffith, another old democrat near Ken_
net Square, says he will not support
Cleveland.
Le Grand B. Cannon of New York,
who is a large iron manufacturer in the
Champlain valley, says he is stacking up
iron waiting for a better market. “My
men," he says, “perceive how disastrous
to {the iron business the action of the
democratic house of representatives upon
the Mills bill is. I am convinced that
democrats as well as republicans among
them will vote for Harrison this fall.”
F. M. Breeze, treasurer of the Norfolk
and New Brunswick Hosiery company,
which suspended Saturday for a period of
several weeks, in speaking of the situation
recently, said: "‘I have been a lifelong
democrat, but I know where my interests
lie, and I propose to vote this year for
Harrison, Morton and protection." The
800 employes of the mill are strong in
their condemnation of the removal of the
tariff advocated by the pending Mills bill.

the return of a copy ofcthe GAZETTE ad-
dressed to a subscriber in Leadvillc. The
lctterl in Colorado had evidently dropped
out of the form and the address on the
wrapper read, Leadvillc, Co. The postal
authorities returned the paper for better
direction, proving beyond a doubt that
they did not know where snclr a place as
Leadvillc was located, even though there
is but one post office in the United States
of that name.

LIFE OF BEN HARRISON.
BX THE AUTHOR OF BEN HUB.
Gen. Lew Wallace we hear has removed
to Indianapolis, and is busily engaged writ:
ing :1 Biography of his old friend, Gen. Ben.
Harrison. I
Rarely has so happy a combination been
known as that resulting in the issue of this
work. Gen. Lew Wallace, known the world
over as the author of “Ben Hur,” is one of
Gen. Harrison’s life-long and trusted friends
and is also a distinguished soldier, a trained
statesman, and a diplomat of high nati-' rial
reputation.
His name as author gives at once the as-
surance of a biography of extraordinary
merit.
His long and intimate acquaintance with
his distiugiiisbcd subject will enable him to
prepare rapidly an authentic and deeply in-
teresting biography.
His large experience in national and in-
ternational affairs fits him to treat under-
standingly and ably of Gen. Harrison's su-
perb record as a statesman, and clearly to
unfold the principles held by him respect-
ing the science of good government, and the
weighty issues at stake in the present great'
contest.
Gen. Wallace at first declined this task
but upon the earnest solicitation of many
eminent men of'the party, and Gen. Harri-
son‘s assurance that everything ueedful
should be placed at ‘his disposal, so as to
make it the strictly authentic, and only an.
thorized Biography, he yielded ,to the call,
and has agreed to complete the work for
publication by Hubbard Brothers of Phila-
delphia, early in August.
