On political and economic questions
Cel. Rebert 0. Ingersoll is a keen
observer. He was recently asked
whether he thought the new Congress
and the President would redeem the
pledges made in the Chicago platform,
and replied: "The Democratic Congress
will And that it will be called upon te
raise sereral hundreds of millions of
dollars in seme way, and in order te
de this it cannot unduly interfere with
the Tariff without reducing the
rovenue or destroying manufacturers.
Consequently there will be a great deal
of talk and nothing dene. The duty en
articles is the result of a combination
covering the entire country. It Louisiana
wants the Protection of a sugar bounty
she must help Pennsylvania about her
iron, and be It gees through nearly all
the States of the Union. I am a
Protectionist. I believe in multiplying
the industries of the country, in develop
ing the brains of the people, and nothing
will de that like festering the develop
ment of thoser industries of which our
great land has but dimly conceived thus
far."
Ten times since the war Tariff was
passed have the Republicans revised or
amended it In general bills. They have
been persistent Tariff tlnkers. Dut
always, with ene exception, the duties
have gene up, up, up! The avcrage duty
of 82 per cent. in the original war Tariff
of J8C2 had increased te 83 per cent, in
1874. Under the "referm of the Tariff by
its friends" in 1883 the average rese te 4'J.
Then, with a surplus revenue of nearly
$100,000,000 annually, came the McKinley
revision of 1800 covering every schedule,
and last year the avcrage duty en dutiable
articles Imported for consumption was
48.71. Ifeie Yerk World.
The above was sent te The American
Economist by n Republican with a
request for the truth.
The World, with its usual disregard for
fairness, only gives half the story. The
average ad valerem rate of duty en
free and dutiable goods, under the Tariff
of 1802, was 2S.2S per cent. In 1874 it
had decreased te 2(5.88 per cent, nnd in
1883 it was 29.92 per cent., while in
1S92, under the McKinley Act, it was
only 21.20 per cent.
The average duty is the average upon
free nnd dutiable goods both, ami is
se stated in the statistics of the Treasury
Department, but The World, which never
steps at a lie in order te gain a point,
gives the dutiable rate only. A Protect
ive Tariff is designed te be a Tariff equal
te the difference in wages between this
and competing countries en manu
factured goods that we can make in this
country or which are luxuries, but ad
mits free all non-competing raw materi
als that will nid our manufacturers. In
making an average of the duties upon
all our imports it would be manifestly
unfair te emit the value of the raw
sugar that we import nnd which is
free, while including the values of for
eign manufactured goods.
It will be seen by the foregoing that
the McKinley Act has reduced the aver
age ad valerem rates of duty en both
free and dutiable goods te 21.20 per eeut.
last year, as compared with 28.28 per
cent, in 1803, and 20.8S per cent, in
1874. The per capita of duty collected
in 1874 was 3 74, whereas in 1S92 it
was only $2 00, a decrease of 78 cents
per annum for every man, woman and
child in the country.

ELECTION LAWS.
The Republicans Are Going te
Fight its Repeal,
And Say They Want at Least a Menth
te Discuss the Matter.

Washi.noten, Sept 1-L -Though the
bill te repeal the federal election laws
is te be presented Thursday in the
house it Is net at all probable that the
debate en the measure will begin be
fore Friday. Hew long the dlscuBskm
will last k nn unsettled question. The
republicans say that they went at hmnt
a month, and Mr. Tucker, of Virginia,
who has the bill In charge, says that
there will be no limit placed upon
spoeolios which ere in the line of legiti
mate discussion, but that na seen as it
is apparent the minority is filibustering
the committee en rules will be in
voked for en order which shall compel
a vote.
There is a geed deal of opposition
manifested even en the democratic side
te the present oenskVoration of n propo prepo
sition te "repeal the federal election
laws. It is claimed that H will detract
attention from the senaUi, and iu this
way, as well ns by angering the repub
licans, will endanger the eutw of re
peal The auswer of the southern dem
ocrats te this comment is brief but te
the point They s.iy Uiat they have al
ready sacrificed their opinions en the
silver question te the position of the
administration, and thL'y can net go
book te tlK-'tr constituent, unless some
thing Is dene that is directly desired
by their section.
Apart from this there is a
general desire en the part of the
democratic leaders te liave some
questions brought forward upon
which the political line6 can be visi
bly drawn. They point out that the
democratic party is ivet u unit upon sil
ver or the state bank tax, the income
tax, and there are differences of opin
ion us te Ue extent te which tariff re
vision should go. On the question of
abolition of federal fore at the polls
there is no division of sentiment The
leading democrats are unanimous In
the hope that thee will be a very live
ly political fight en the repeal of the
ejection laws. It has been se long Binee
there has been a genuine political fight
m the house that it will be welcemed
net only by the democrats but by the
republicans.
The exact pregrumme which the re
publicans will fellow in their opposi
tion te the repeal of the federal election
law has net yet been made known. As
a matter of fact the secrecy which is
being observed is net without a pur
pose, the minority being afraid of dis
closing its plan of campaign te the en
emy. All that they will say is te re
peat their determination te fight until
they can no longer held out The de
bate as already indicated premises te
be very bitter.

TRAIN ROBBERS AT LARGE.

Itoen Captured.
Chicago, Sept. 14. Up te an early
hour Wednesday morning there had
ljcen no developments of Importance
in connection with the train robbery at
Kesslor, Ind. Se well did the robbers
cover their tracks that as yet the pelice
of this city and the special detective
foree at work in conjunction with the
sheriff's posse are absolutely without a
clew. A few arrests have been made
In the vielnlty of the scene of the rob
bery, but the men taken in thus far
have been apprehended merely en gen
eral principles. There is no evidence
connecting any of them wi.th the rob
bery. After sueh oletie investigation as it
has been possible te make the detec
tives In charge of the case say that
there were Beven men in the gang.
It is still bolleved, despitc denial by
the eillcers of the express company,
that the amount secured was in the
neighborhood of 8100,000. Although
Vice President Cresby says the less Is
less than $10,000, the report from the
Chicago oftlee te President Piatt in
New Yerk, places the amount contained
in four bags in the looted safe at $10,
100.00. It is Bald also that besides this
amount there were in the safe several
packages of currency shipped by Chi

Washington, Sept 14. The commit commit commit
tee en foreign affairs held a meeting
Wednesday morning te consider the
Chinese oxcluslen matter. Chairman
MeCreary kvid the bill introduced by
Mi. Everett, of Massachusetts, which
is understood te be an administration
measure, and suggested that inasmuch
as several amendments were deemed
advisable, it had better be referred te
a sub-committee. After seme discus
sion tills action was decided upon, and
the bill was referred te a sub-oemmlt-tee,
consisting of Chairman McCreary
and Messrs. Everett, Hitt and Harmer.
The-sub-oeinmlttoo will meet en Thurs
day. Tlie Everett bill simply provides for
the extension of the time for registra
tion for one year. It is probable that
the sub-oemmitteo will reduce this time
limit te six months, and as there is
some question about what constitutes
"a Clilne.se laborer," that term will be
specifically defined. The ether amend
ments will leek te the perfection of the
bill, and will net allect Its importance.
