AROUND THE CIRCLE.
In swinging round the circle of his
few Western appointments, Mr. Blame
reached Grand Rapids. Mich., yesterday,
and proceeded to deliver himself of a
very remarkable speech, which is print
ed in the Globe this morning. It seems
that Postmaster General .Dickinson
said, the other day. that the tariff was
principally maintained at the expense
of the West for the benefit of- the East,
and that New England was its largest
beneficiary. This home truth was so
severe, and withal so perfectly just, that
it has put Mr. Bi.aim: in an rcstacy of
indignant expostulation. And he pro
ceeds to prove by statistics ___ New
England buys every year a large amount
of Western produce, including bread
stuffs, lumber, meat and wool. Admit
ting that all this is true, it docs
not relieve the force of Mr. Dick
inson's charge in the slightest de
gree. On the contrary, it shows that,
fattening upon the tribute paid her
manufacturers by Western farmers ami
workingmen for clothing, agricultural
implements and ___________ tools, she
can afford to spend a tithe of this gigan
tic robbery upon the people whom it
impoverishes by tariff exaction. And
if New England bought from the West
ten times the amount it does, the fact
would be no excuse fora revenue policy
which maintains New England in
wealth and luxury while it impover
ishes the West. Mr. Blame remarked
incidentally that New England bought
largely of Minnesota lumber. True;
ami it is equally true that it is also the
holder of all the mortgages which cover
Minnesota farms. These mortgages
represent the annual tax which the
tariff levies upon the farmer and the
workinginan for the benefit of New
England manufacturers. The money
got _ East in the shape of tax extortions.
It comes back as a loan, accompanied
by a mortgage which weighs upon the
neck of the farmer like a millstone.
With this mortgage to carry, and tariff
taxes to pay, which are gradually trans
muted into new mortgages and new in
debtedness, the shadows of a hopeless
life deepen year by year around the
struggling tariff bond slave of the West.
Mr. Blame can afford to cajole the
people of Michigan, if by that com
placency he can win their consent to
prolong their serfdom to the tariff pil
lagers.
■*__■

CHEAP BREAD. .
The English manufacturer holds his
own against the world, and commands
the world's markets against the United
States; but the Eglish land monopolist
cannot compete with the American
farmer. Our grain forces down the
price of his. and he cannot maintain his
earner on the "home market." In con
sequence of the fact that the English
people are no longer taxed on their food
for the benefit of the dukes, earls, bar
ons, baronets and squires ho monopo
lize the land of England and Ireland,
rents have declined; and, while a great
many honest English and Irish farmers
are thus made more comfortable, num
bers of the aristocratic land monopo
lists have been forced to go into trade
and find some way of making an hon
est living. The attentive reader
of English papers is frequent
ly reminded of the benefits of
cheap bread for the people by the refer
ences to Lady Blank's millinery shop,
or Lord Chumley's brewery. Accord
ing to the latest reports, Lady Blank
is amassing a fortune in her millinery
business, and the Lord Ciiimley's
small beer is achieving a wide reputa
tion. Thus, the repeal of the corn laws
and the consequent cheap bread and
low rents diversified the industries of
the aristocracy in England, just as a re
duced tariff would do for America. The
plebeians who could not afford to •___
neat bonnets in the days of the corn
laws now save enough in buying
American breadstuffs to be able to pat
ronize Lady Blank; Lady Blank's
tenants arc happy over lower rents, and
Lady Blank herself is prospering be
cause she sells hundreds of bonnets
she never could have sold .when
bread was so high that plebeians
had to put all they made in food. But
with a natural perversity Lady Blank
objects to selling bonnets, as Lord
tin mi.ey does to selling small beer.
They wish to live off their rents, and
they cannot do it if their land monopoly
is subjected to the competition of hun
dreds of millions of acres of wheat
growing laud in America.
So it is with the American monopolist.
lie lives off of the tax he levies on
clothing, iron, sugar and salt: and as
the farmer, the mechanic and the
laborer nay high for these things, the
monopolist's income is enormous. But if
the tariff were lessened, if his monopoly
were taken off, this beneficiary of the
tariff would be compelled to work, as
Lady Blank and Lord Chumley do.
The parallel could be carried out in
definitely.
■*»■
TRUSTS.
Rhodes** Journal of Banking begins
its leader on trusts as follows: "The
growth of trusts in the last five years
has attracted much attention. These
manifestations of business enterprise
are the result of a desire to Overcome
the injurious effects of competition." A
newspaper writer who can express him
self in these terms (and the sample
quoted is in line with the whole writ
ing) has mistaken his calling, unless he
has voluntarily sold himself to monop
oly to deceive the ignorant. To call
competition in trade injurious is an ex
posure of utter ignorance, or worse. For
competition is the only condition in
which trade can possibly excercise
itself in any of its functions healthfully
to itself or beneficially to the public;
and whatsoever monopoly effort seeks
to thwart it in such exercise is a public
enemy. Competition is as essential to
commercial economics as the law of
gravitation to the harmony and conserv
atism of the physical elements of the
universe, and the law should crush any
and all combinations that seek to resist
or hamper it.
THEY DO DIFFER.
There is something ludicrous in ex-
Speaker GIBBS' statement to the Globe
that there is really no difference be
tween the Republican and Democratic
parties on the tariff question. If they
are agreed we would like to ask Farmer
______ what all this hubbub is about?
If the two parties are of the same mind
on the tariff issue, why didn't the Chi
cago convention adopt the St. Louis
platform instead of denouncing it?
It is clearly evident that Mr. Gibbs
either hasn't read the two platforms, or
he has mistaken the people of Minne
sota for a set of boobies.
The two parties do differ on the tariff
question— just as different as day and
! night— and even a partisan of Mr.
Gibbs' ability can not obscure the fact.

Joe.lf.kfeksox. the actor, has gotten

Democratic position on the tariff. "It

Democrats advocate,'" says Mr. ________

form in a nutshell. 7.. *

The Democratic party is the fair trade
party— fair to the manufacturers and
fair to the consumers. ,7f
_■_■_
Alt. the Republican organs and
speakers talk glibly about "expanding"
trade as created by the tariff. But how
our opportunities are to be expanded by
building a Chinese wall around our
country, and by preventing our indus
tries having cheap raw material, none
of them have ventured yet to tell. We
ought to extend our commerce into
South American countries, where Eng
land now monopolizes trade, but we do
not. The reason is, our high protective
j tariff cuts us off from competition in the
i world's markets. Our people ought to
' have goods at fair prices, and work at
I living wages; but they do not. The
reason for the one is high taxes, and for
the other, imported competitive labor.

Representative Wheeler Gives
. the Senate Tariff Bill Some _
Hard Knocks.
Special to the Globe.
Washixgtox, Oct. B.— Discussion of
the substitutes for the Mills tariff bill
was the feature of to-day's senate pro
ceedings. Among the resolutions and
bills passed were the following: House
joint resolution for an inquiry by a
committee of three senators and three
representatives into the contracts and
work on the Washington aqueduct
tunnel: house bill to restore certain
money to the fund for the erection of a
public building in Detroit. Mr. Blair
ottered a resolution calling on the presi
dent for information as to the trial, con
viction and execution for treason in
Canada, on November 16, 1885, of Louis
David Kiel, who claimed to be
a naturalized citizen of the Uni
ted States. Laid over until to-morrow.
Reading of the tariff bill repoi ted from
the finance committee was dispensed
with, and the senate substitute was or
dered to be first considered. Mr. Harris
asked Mr. Allison to fix a time when
general debate should close. Mr. Alli
son said that he could not tell when
senators would resign their right to
speak on the bill. Be thought the sug
gestion rather premature. Mr. Harris
asked that general debate might close
in ten days, but Mr. Allison refused to
consent to this proposition. Mr. Allison
took the floor, and entered into a long
explanation of the finance committee's
substitute. He spoke of the length of
time it had taken the house to prepare
a bill, he said, for the purpose of
strengthening the industries of the
country, but with the effect of greatly
_____t___M THOSE __________
From the report of the secretary of
the treasury for the first quarter of the
present fiscal year he calculated that
there would be a reduction of $8,000,000
in import receipts as compared with
last year and a reduction of $17,000,000
as compared with the secretary's esti
mate. He thought a reduction of . _■,
-000,000 to $70,000,000 as great as could be
safely made. The senate bill contem
plated that for the current fiscal year
and years to follow there should be no
surplus. for the sinking fund, certainly
none beyond the amount necessary to
redeem bonds falling due Oct. 1, 1891;
He could not understand by what pro
cess of financiering so great a surplus
should have been allowed to accumu
late when the government could have'
purchased bonds so as to have made 2,
per cent on the money. Coming
to the features of the bill he
said that the senate bill differed,
from the house bill in that i.
proposed to deal with all the schedules*
of the tariff while the house did not*
The senate committee had sought in this
bill to care for every industry in the
country. He spoke of the divergent
action of the minority of the committee.
He said that the report of the three
Democratic senators who were unable
to agree, was full of misinformation. !
The calculation of the reduction to be j
made in the Mills bill was based on the
assumption that the importation of ar-"
tides, on which the tariff was increas
ing, would be correspondingly reduced.
This was problematic; but there was no ? t
question of the reduction to be made by
the senate bill. It was between $t .1,000,
--000 and 918,000,000. Speaking of the
tobacco question Mr. Allison said that
the committee had yielded to what they |
had supposed was a universal senti
ment in favor of taking the tax from
that article. As to the abolition of
Tils: TAX OX ________
for use in the arts, Great Britain and
Germany had had that principle in their
taxing systems for many years and
found no difficulty in preventing frauds
in that connection. Coming to the sugar '
question, Mr. Allison said that even
with the proposed reduction of 50 per I
cent the duty would remain at 41 per
cent ad valorem. He tiered that suf
ficient encouragement for the produc
tion of sugar from sorghum or beets was !
left in this protection. The effect of the
house bill in regard to the sugar
schedule, he said, would be to legislate
16,000,000 a year, or 12 per cent on their !
capital, into the pockets of the sugar !
trust. The effect of the proposed ad
vance in duty on imported cigars would
not be much felt, as they were a luxury.
As to the schedule of "provisions,*' he
said the senate bill proposed specific
duties as far as possible. The com
mittee was considering a rate on im
ported eggs. The committee had sub
stituted specific for ad valorem duties
on silk and silk goods, following the j
recommendation of Secretary Manning. !
This, be thought, would increase some
what the duty on silk. In conclusion
Mr. Allison said that the senate bill
was a
DISTIXCT __________ OF _____'______.
to American industries; while the house
bill was a long step in the direction of
what was known as free trade. Mr.
Vance, a member of the minority of the i
finance committee, took the floor. He |
said that the government of the United |
States had entered into a partnership j
with the manufacturers of the United I
States at the close of the war to estab- !
lish an unholy and iniquitous system of I
taxation upon the many for the benefit
of the few. The house bill made a total j
reduction of $78,000,000. How did the
senate substitute divide its reduction of I
duties? lt took dollars from the gov- j
ernment for every dollar it .took from I
the manufacturer. Mr. Vance contin
ued at some length to argue that the
senate bill was framed in the interest
of the favored classes. He said that if
Henry Clay were alive he would de- '
nounce the senate bill most bitterly. It
was nonsensical, he said, to hold that :
high tariff meant high wages. If it did. I .
wages would not differ in every state of "
the Union. He denied that the manu
facturers furnished a home market for ; '
the farmer, and said that
THE DECAY OF AGRICULTURE
was most noticeable in manufacturing
districts. He accused the Republican
party of thwarting the efforts of the
Democratic party to reduce taxes. They
would have the president pay a pre- <
mium of 30 per cent to their friends, the .
bond holders to reduce the surplus, he ><
said, but the president did not choose c
to do it. Nobody would be deceived by [
the charge that the Democratic house *
was responsible for the delay in sending .
a measure to the senate, for it was well 8
known that the Republicans of the >
house bad resisted every step in that
direction, and the Democrats who had
helped them to defeat the efforts of the
Democratic party had been landed to
the skies. In conclusion he said that
the house bill had been framed to
relieve the people and the senate bill to
relieve the treasury. To correct a
statement of Mr. Vance, Mr. Aldrlch
said th. t the bill did not recommend
that opium be added to the free list, but
prohibited its import . tion. Mr. His
cock took the floor, and the bill was
then laid over until to-morrow. After a
brief secret session the senate at 4:50
adjourned. •

SURPRISED AND SHOCKED.
Little Phil's Widow Will Not Wed
a Titled Britisher. . 7 .
Special to the Globe.
Washixgtox, Oct. B.— London
journal of gossip, under date of Sept.ls,
stated that the widow of Gen. Sheridan
was to be married to an English noble
man. Mrs. Sheridan and her friends in
this city were both surprised and
shocked by this publication. Col. Kel
logg, who was an aide on the staff of tlie
late Gen. Sheridan, says that the story
is absurd. "There is not a word of
truth in it," he adds, "and 1 can not
imagine what could have given rise to
it. There is no titled Englishman, and
for that matter, no Englishman of any
kind, who has been on such relations
with Mrs. Sheridan as to give rise to the
slightest rumor of the kind. You can
say on authority that the story is abso
lutely false.
ERRORS IN THE LIST.
The Senate Committee on Finance
Explains Its Substitute Tariff
Measure. '-'7 ; ""
Washixgtox, Oct. B.— By an error
made by the committee in preparing for
publication the„ additions to the free
list, contained in the substitute tariff
bill reported by the senate committee
on finance, it was made to appear that
opium for smoking had been freed from
duty. As a matter of fact, the substi
tute bill expressly prohibits the impor
tation of such opium. The committee
also desires to have corrected an impres
sion which prevails that it had added
eggs to the free list. Eg are made
free of duty by existing law and the
substitute bill does not change that pro
vision, although the matter is now un
der consideration and undoubtedly an
amendment will be reported from the
committee imposing a tariff on eggs.

TO BUST A TRUST.
An Action Begun to Forfeit the
Charter of the Sugar Mono
poly. .
New York, Oct. B.— Judge O'Brien
to-day granted permission to States At
torney Gen. Charles F. Tabor to bring
an action againat the Havemeyer &
Elder Sugar Refining company to annul
its charter. This company, with thirteen
others, is a member of the sugar trust.
The attorney general has appointed
Gen. Roger A. Frier as counsel to repre
sent him in this matter. Edmund H.
Senterne makes the principal affidavit
In the case. He recites that the
sugar trust was formed in August,
1887. for the purpose of arbi
trarily controlling the manufacture
ami sale of sugar increasing its price
and controlling the management of all
refineries. In October last the trust
deed was executed. .-Havemeyer 's re
finery under the trust passed under the
control of the trustees of the
combination. The affidavit states
that the combination has sus
pended and closed several refineries
connected with the trust, and has
thrown out of employment and reduced
to want a large member of workingmen.
The combination, it is alleged, is an
illegal monopoly and a criminal con
spiracy under the laws of the state of
New York, and is oppressive to us peo
ple and detrimental to the welfare of
the state of New York aud of the
United States. By becoming a
party to this combination it is alleged
that the defendants have violated the
law. transcended its powers, forfeited
its charter and become liable to be dis
solved. The object of the suit is to
annul the corporate existence of the
company and to vacate its charter upon
the ground that it has violated the act
under which it was incorporated and
has exercised privileges and franchises
not conferred upon it by law.

ing the Wisconsin Central of violating

Passenger association. It. appears that

chased a second-class ticket at the Wis

good to Chicago, for $8, which is $1 less
