EDITORIAL LETTER.
\VAEHINGTON, D. 0., April 14, ’90.
DEAR GAZETTE :-—Again the half-masted
fiag above the capitol tells the mournful
storylhat another of the n‘tion’s states—
men has passed from earth to life eternal.
Samuel J. Randall, the foremost repre-
sentative man of his party, is no more.
It is unprecedented in our history that two
such prominent, long experienced and
able congressmen as Kelley and Randall.
and both from the same state, should die
at the same session. In the pail of death
that has enshronded the nation’s capital-
thus far in this brief session of the Fifty-
first Congress is enough to make the most
thoughtless pause and realize how vain
and small in such a presence is human
ambition, human exaltatiou and human
greatness. The great state of Pennsyl-
vania and the nation are to be couimiscr—
ated in the irreparable loss of tthc two.
of her pro-eminently great sons.
TiiE RANDALL onsuoniEs.
Both House and Senate, after a short
session today, adjourned in honor of
Pensylvania’s great statesman. His funeral
is to be attended on Thursday at Dr.
Chester’s church, of which he and Mrs.
Randall were members. It is, at his
request, to be made as modest and quiet
as possible, befitting .his own manner of
life. His remains will be sepulchred in
the family vault at Philadelphia. Samuel
Jackson Randall was for thirty years'a
member of Congress from Pennslyvania,
and his achievements in statesmanship
constitute an important part of the legisla-
tive history of the nation. He had those
qualities Of Courage and integrity that won
the confidence of people of every political
faith. He fade l away quietly and pain—
lesslythrough Saturday night, and with
all his family at his bedside, and the
supreme moment of entry into eternal
rest came to the sufferer for two years at
5 o‘clock Sunday morning
THE TARIFF
Washington hotels are crowded with
individuals and delegations drawn here by
the various changes proposed in the new
tariff bill. The New England shoe manu-
facturers have induced McKinley to re-
ccde and place hides on the free list.
This has enraged the western crittle men,
who are here in force claiming that the
hides they put in ma. livt represent labor,
while the imported hide is stripped by
semi-savages from the wild herds of
Bucnos Ayres and Patagonia, and that
our countrymen in the cattle raising in-
dustry are entitled to the same protection
that is accorded the wool grower and iron
and steel manufacturers of the nation. In
point of fact many changes are expected
to be and must be made before the present
bill can ever pass either House of Con-
gress. Many paragraphs in last year’s
Senate bill have been left untouched with
the purpose] of drawing expressions of
public Opinion on them before final action
is taken.
THE FARMERS.
Among the most violent “kickers” ancnt
the McKinley bill are the farmers, or
rather that large class of demagogues and
agitators, who always stand eagerly ready
to exaggerate any grievance the agricul-
turist may be called on to bear in the way
of the low prices of his products and the
high prices of the labor he is compelled to
employ to raise and market his crops.
The canting band of British free traders
are ever on the alert to magnify such
depressions, and charge all the ills a
farmer’s life is IlCll' to to our protective
tariff, which these false teachers ever
avow is designed to aid the manufacturer
and ruin the producer, i. e., the farmers
of the land. On this point Mr. R. J.
Porter, our highest authority on protec-
tion, in a recently published letter says :—
_Tlicy never tell the farmer that the
direct benefits hereCeives from the present
tariff are far in excess of the benefits re-
Cieved by any other class. They do not
tell him that last year the agricultural
products imported on which duty was
ICVled aggregated in value over $250,000,-
000: They do not tell him that our total
agricultural imports amounted to nearly
$350,000,000. No one can deny the direct
advantages of the present tariff, or the
incalculable benefits which must follow
the passage of such a tariff bill as that
.now under consideration. This bill pro-
poses to strengthen the protective features.
of the schedule of farm products. Few
realize the vast importance of this to the
agricultural interests.
How many farmers know that the
aggregate importation of fruit, hides, eggs
and vegetables is about equivalent in value
to the importation of manufactures of
iron and steel? How many know that
the aggegate importation of raw flax and
hemp, breadstufls, eggs, vegetables and
wools, allproducts of the farm, is about
the same in value as the importation of
manufactures of wool, or nearly $53,000,-
000 ? Changing the combination and add-
iug hops and hay to flax, fruit, etc., and
we have an aggregate far exceeding the
imports of chemicals, while the importa—
tion of the last two items would equal in
value the annual importation of manufac-
tures of silk. Is the American farmer
ready to calmly listen to attacks on the
greedy robber barons who manufacture
glassand glassware, when the imports of
of his own protected breadstuffs and
barley exceed the importation of glass;
when the importation of seeds, not medic-
inal, are about the same as the imports of
earthenware ? - . .
The farmer looks the situation over and
begins to figure out how much of the
product represented by this vast sum of
nearly $250,000,000 he might produce at
home if the tariff was only tightened a
little. “The manufacturer looks on the
other side of the picture and he begins to
cipher out how much of the $250,000,000
of manufactured goods, which are annual-
ly pouriugiuto our ports, could just as
a
NORWALK GAZETTL,‘WEDNESDAY ARPIL-‘lG. 1890..
well be made at home by American labor,
if the inequallties of the tariff Were only
corrected and under-valuations and fraud-
ulent invoices stopped. The McKinley
tar-ill bill is intended to meet both the
demand of the American farmer and the
American manufacturer.
Surely the industrial and agricultural
progress of the country during the last 30
years will justify this conclusion. Willi
the enormous increase of production natur-
ally come lower prices. The manufacturer
who not long ago was paid $75 and even
$100 per ton for his steel rails, must now
sell them for $27 per ton, or exactly what
they bring in free-trade England. 1 he
same is true in every other line of marin-
facture. Clothing, carpets, blankets, boots
and shoes, glassware, earthenware, agri-
cultural implemeus, in fact everything the
farmer consumes, has steadily decreased
in price. And why ? Because under a
protective tariff ihe production has been
greatly increased. The increase in the
product of our farms has been just as
great. The 600,000,000 bushels of corn
produced in 1850 has to-day reached 2,-
000,000,000 bushels; the 100,000,000 bush-
els of wheat approximates 500,000,000, and
the 146,000,000 bushels of oats then has
now become 700,000,000 bushels. During
the 40 years from 1850 to the present time.
the cotton product increaScd from a little
over 2,000,000 bales to more than 7,000,000.
Cattle [rave also increased very rapidly;
cows from betwuen 6,000,000 and 7,000,000
to about 16,000,000 ; other cattle from
scarcely 12,000,000 to more than 36,000,-
000. White sheep haVe doubled in niim-
her, the wool production has quadrupled.
While the niilch cows are almost three
times as many, their average rate of
yield of milk has probably doubled. And
with this increase prices have naturally
declined. Says Mr. J. R. Dodge. in his
able report Oil agricultural depression ‘-‘iii
wheat over-production has destroyed the
grower's profit. Wheat growing has be-
came a philanthropic mission for supplying
cheap bread to Great Britain, and encour-
aging her manufacturers to keep wages on
a low plane. The area of the crop of 1889
included about 10,000,000 acres more than
the home consumption of the year will re-
quires; and the price in Liverpool has of
late been the lowest for a centuey, We
cannot force foreigners to buy our bread.
Less than a fourth of the people of the
world eat wheat. Half of the people of
Europe scarcely know its taste, while few
of the nations of Asia and Africa have any
knowledge of it.”
Yet Mr. Gladstone says the people of
America should grow more corn (meaning
wheat) and more cotton, and manufacture
less iron and steel and less woollens. And
that is the tree-trade doctrine. Continue
our philanthropic mission for the relief of
the labor and capital of Great Britain.
Mr. Porter does not c3ver the whole
ground of agricultural depression and the
best remedy for its improvement in this
exceedingly interesting cpistle, but, as he
has promised another article on the same
subject, may we not hope that he will
explain why farms in Connecticut and all
New England are tO-day worth on the
average per acre not more than two~thirds,
if not more than half, they were twenty
years ago? Will he tell us why it is that
the Kansas farmer can get but eight cents
per bushel for his corn, and finds it
cheaper to burn it as fuel than to pay
excessive railroad freights on the coal he
preferably ought to consume? It is an
exceedingly interesting problem to solve
and, if we mistake not, the high prices
the farmer is forced to pay for laborers,
and the commendable disinclination of
himself and wife to work and delve and
live as poor and stinted mentally and
physically as in a generation gone by; the
eagerness with which his sons and daugh-
‘ ters leave the farm and hurry to the town ;
the overproduction of the vast machine
cultivated acreage of the west, with the
exactions of a class of middle men,” which
has in recent years grown up to grasp and
devour every margin of profit the delving
farmer may have to sell. Yet above and,
beyond all the admitted depressions now
experienced by the agriculturahsts of the
country, theirs isalife of peace and en-
joymcnt compared to the corroding care,
the rasping, harrowing anxieties and
vicissitudes of trade that beset and wear
out the life of the average merchant and
manufacturer involved in the mad rush
and turmoil of our fierce modern compe-
tition now necessary to success in all
commercial enterprises.
SILVER.
Two or more caucus sessions of repub-
lican congressmen are to be held for the
purpose of harmonizing conflicting views
in the party anent the larger coinage of
silver. The chief desire seems to be to
relieve business and agricultural depres-
sion by making money more plenty.
The representatives from the silver states
see clearly that the way to have more
money is to increase siliier coinage. How
the millions of silver dollars already near-
ly bursting the enormous treasury vaults
are to get. into general circulation is the
more immediate and important problem.
How to get Uncle Sam’s boarded millions
into the hands of the people is the ques-
tion for solution most worthy of our
statesmen and of the highest statesman-
ship. Liberal appropriations for payment
of the public debt, for public buildings,
for pensions, ship building and the like,
would set the wheels of enlarged money
circulation into quick and healthful and
rapid motion.
THEATRICALS.
To-morrow evening, at Lincoln Hall,
“Hamlet” is to be given by a company of
local players for the benefit of the Wash-
ington newsboys. Their home is sustained
by voluntary contributions. A reading
room, a room for entertaining games are
provided free to the gamins, and once a
week some sort of lecture, concert or
other attractive entertainment is provided
them. Rev. Dr. Childs is secretary of the
board of trustees, and Miss Mary Ferry is
secretary of the society. Mrs. Senator
Teller is a vice-president, while Mrs. Dr.
Childs and her daughters and niece, and
Mrs. 0. S. Ferry are among other active
“members of the Newsboys’ Society.
,Mr. George Clark, Norwalk’s famed
and talented actor, is playing here this
week in Daly’s company of bright theatri-
leigh and Charles Fisher, who made their
first trip to America with your corres-
pondent a generation ago in the old side
wheeler Atlantic, Captain West of blessed
memory. Tliey are both now true
Americans in'every particular and aniOng
our most noted actors.
Last week Palmer’s Madison Square
Theatre company player] here to Well
filled and enthusiastic audiences. “Cap-
tain Swift” filled the bill and the boards
the entire week. Among this talented
company was Mr. Wright Huntington,
knOWn to many of our Norwalk readers
as a graduate at Dr. Fitch’s Hillside
Institute. He acted the role of Mr. Gard-
ner, and by his easy, graceful and win-
ning rendition of his part showed himself
to be destined to reach crc long stars of
the first magnitude in the theatrical heav-
ens. It is a rare pleasure indeed to wit-
ness such conscientious and appreciative
work on the part of any young actor, and
we predict a bright future for Wright
Huntington.
PERSONAIS.
Judge Sidney B. Beardsley, wife and
daughter, Friend IV. Smith, George B
Ednionds and Mr. Strong, of Bridgeport,
were here last week. .
Hon Samuel Fesscnden and Colonel W.
W. Skiddy, of Stamford, and Colonel H.
W. R. Hoyt, of Greenwich, were before
the patent committee again last week
Charles S. and William A. Keeler, sons
of Smith Keeler, the Iiidgefield merchant
of former years, were here last week
These gents are now enterprising and
thrifty merchants at Jamestown, N. Y.
Mr. George B. Edmonds, of Bridgeport,
was confirmed as collector for the District
of Fairfield at Friday’s executive session.
Representative Miles returned here last
Wednesday from his Visit to Connecticut.
The “society” reporter of the Post here
gives the following personal :
“The beautiful Mrs. English, wife of a
prominent Connecticut politician, a near
relative of the late Governor English, is
with Senator and Mrs. Platt at the Arling-
ton, and is much occupied socially during
her visit.”
Mrs. English is the wife of New Haven’s
recent postmaster and an annual visitor at
the capital, where she has many social
friends and admirers. . She is at the same
hotel and pleasantly seated at Senator and
Mrs. Platt's table, but in no sense special-
ly their guest. Hon. Benj. R. English
joined his wife here on Saturday.
P. IV. Wren, of Bridgeport, and Mrs.
Samuel Colt, Miss E. H. J. Beach and Dr.
William D. Morgan, of Hartford. are here.
Senator Edmunrls joins the list of dis-
tinguished congressional invalids, and left
on Stiturday, with his family, to stay until
he regains his accustomed health; His
colleague, Senator Morrill, is 81 years old
to-day.
The legislature, which the Rhode Island
voters have made such a desperate eflfort
to elect, will not choose a United States
senator. Senator Aldrich’s term expires
in 1893.
' ‘he river and harbor bill is completed.
though few of its provisions are known, as
it was prepared in the secret sessions of
the committee. It grazes very close to
$20,000,000, and will be reported to the
House on Wednesday. Our Connecticut
delegation will keep a sharp lookout for
our state's interests in this bill.
Senators Hawley, Squire, Allison, Hale,
Gray, Gibson and Manderson, sent con-
gratulations to Henry M. Stanley through
the phonograph, which will be repeated
to Stanley at a. dinner to be given him on
his arrival at Paris. The little wax
cylinder was scaled up and will be read
off in the words and natural tone of voice
of the senders at the Paris banquet. Gen.
Hawley is personally acquainted with the
African explorer, who used to he a Tri-
bune correspondent from the far West.
Mr. Randall’s death recalls one of his
quick repartees fired at present Speaker
Reed on the floor of the House some
years ago, and which has gone into our
political literature: “Both wings of the
democracy will flap together whenever
necessity requires,” quoth Randall in re-
ply to Reed’s question as to which wing
of the democracy he, Randall, was speak-
ing for.
Bright, witty, but irreverent Colonel
Robert Ingersoll was here last week, and,
in reply to the question of a somewhat
demoralized republican as to what he
thought of the democratic victories all
along the line, promptly answered: “Oh,
the democracy is the devil and all .in
drawing a full band when nobody is
betting.” '
Schuyler Merritt, of Stamford, is in
town to-day. .
The celebrated Neagle habeas corpus
case from California_was decided by the
United States Supreme Court to-day, the
judgment of the Circuit Court being con-
firmed. This finally disposes of all pro-
ceedings against Neagle for the shooting
of Judge Terry to prevent him from
taking the life of J udgc Field.
Lewis S. Cox is the name of the man
who filched about $300,000 cold cash from
Editor W. M. Singerly, of Philadelphia.
This should admonish all N orwalk editors
to have a care and never risk more than a
quarter of a million on any one individual
without the most undoubted security.
