Mr. MeKlnloy refrained from presen!

m'kinlky'b speech.
Mr. McKinley took the floor in sup
port of the tariff bill. "In the laat po
| litical campaign the tariff had been tin
absorbing question beforo tho people
It seemed to him that no extended dis
cuftfinn of this great principle wa^ex
pected or required or necessary undo
existing conditions, for, if any one thinj
WAS Settled bv the nnlitinnl frtn
test of 1888, it was that the pro
tectiva policy oh promulgated bj
! the Republican party in its plat
form, aa maintained by the Repabli
can party through a long aeries of years
should bo secured in its legislatioi
which was to be had by a Congresj
f chosen in these great contests and it
this mastering issue. He interpreted
the victory to mean, he interpreted th?
majority in tho House to mean, he in
terpreted the incumbency of the Prcs
idency of the United States of tho present
chief executive to mean, that i
revision of the tariff was demanded bj
tho people and that revision should be
along the line and in full recognition oi
the principles and purposes of protection.
[Applause.]
The people had spoken and they ask
edthis Congress to register-their wil
and embody their verdict into a publ'n
law. Tho bill presented by the Com
inittee on Ways and Means to th<
! House was a thorough answer to tha
demand. It was in full recognition o
the principle and policy of the protec
tivo tariff. The bill had not abolishei
the internal revenue tax, aa the lie pub
lican party hail pledged itself to do, in
tho event that that abolition waa neces
sary to preserve the protectivo system
because the committee had found the
abolition of the one was not necessary
to the preservation of the other.
Sl'KCIAL TAXES.
The bill recommended the abolition o
all special taxes and the reduction of thi
tax on tobacco aud snuff, and it movec
tho restrictions upon tho growers o
I tobacco. With theso exceptions tin
I Internal Revenue laws stood as at pres
ent. If these recommendations wen
agreed to internal taxation would be re
duced a little over ten millions of dollars
The committee also recommended n pro
vision requiring all imported articles t<
bear u stamp or mark indicating th
country in which such articles are mac
ufactured.
The reason that actuated the commil
tee was that it had become too commo
in some of the countries of the world t
copy some of our best known brant
and sell them in competition with ou
home made product. '
DRAWBACKS.
The next provision recommended wi
one extending and liberalizing tho drav
back sections of the laws. Under th
existing statutes any citizen of tli
United States could import an nrticli
pay duty upon it, ranko it into ? con
plete product, export it and the goveri
went refunded ninety per cent of th
duty paid on the retail xuanufactur
The comraittco recommended tin
hereafter the government shoul
retain only one per cent instead of te
percent. This gave to the people of tli
United States practically free retail mai
ufactory for the export trade. Thocon
xnittee paid to the capitalists of thecoui
try: "If you think you think you can m
into tbo foreign market with free ra
. material, we give you then ouo por cox
of free material and you try and seo whi
you can do." [Laughter.]
Tins provision completely disposed <
what had sometimes seemed almost ui
answerablo argument, urged by gentl
men on the other side, that if the mam
facturers only had free raw material the
could compete in the markets of tl
world.
f Mr. Springer, of Illinois, inquire
f whether this provision applied to woe
MISLEADING STATEMENTS.
Mr. McKinluy replied that it opp!i<
to everything. It was asserted by tl
Minority that the bill would not redui
tho revenue ol the government, butth
on tho contrary, it would increoso tl
revenues. This statement was misleai
ing. It could only be valuable on tl
assumption that the importations of tl
present year under this bill would 1
equal to the importation of like articl
uuderexistiug law. Tho instant duti<
were increased to a fair protective poir
that (uotant the importation diminishe
And the revenues correspondingly dimi
Ished. Nq one oould dispute that prop
?itiou. If the bill should become a hi
the revenues of tho government wou
\rn diminished S'iO.OOO.OOO to S60.000.0C
After discussing the bill more id ti
tail. Air. JIcKiulev said that under tl
duties offered by tho bill that the annu
imports of $25,000,000 of agricultui
products would bo supplied tjip peof
t of the United States by tho Americ
| farmer, rather thou by the Oanadi)
farmer, and that ?25,000,000 dUtribut
among tho farmers would relievo aor
of the depression prevailing and gi
them confidence and courage and j
creased ability to raiao tho mortgaj
upon their farms. [Applause.]
Mr. McICinley explained and c
/eruled t/je woofschedule, and the pa:
graph in the jjaetal whpdule concernl
tin plate, and thon passed to tho pppsi
oration of tho freo list. He said tl
tho committee bad taken from the f;
list and placed ou tho dutiable li
eighteen articles, ten of which wore;
tides of agriculture, If the same quj
tlty fthotiM bo imported this year as wi
imported last year, thin would increai
tho revenues $2,400,000. It bad take

i- What was the complaint against th(
0 bill? Was it that it would aiopexpor
) tation and interfere with our foreign
a markets? The foreign markets were at
3 accessible under tho bill as under exist
ing law. They were as accessible undei
b the bill as they would bo under absolute
freo trade.
3 Much had been said about our foreign
1 trade and commerce and our vast do
1 meatic commerce had been ignored,
What boots it that tho products of the
t great West found their markets in New
5 York or Chicago rather than in Europe 1
Why should we pass over the best market
of the world?our own markets
Notwithstanding all of these makings,
however, we are now exporting more
* products, than at any time in our history,
B UNDER PROTECTION.
in isou, niter lourieon years of revenue
tariff, tho country was in a state ol
depression. We had neither money noi
credit. We had both now. Wo had a
eurpluB revenue. Under the Morrill
tariff confidence was restored and courage
reanimated. With a great war on
hand, with money flowing into the
Treasury to save the Goverumeut, industries
were springing up on every
hand under the beneficent influence of
protection. The accumulations of the
working classes had increased; their
depoBits in savings banks exceeded those
of the working classes ,of any other
country. Ttiese deposits told their own
Btory. The public debt of the United
States per capita*was Ices than that
of any^ nation of tho world. We lead
all nations in agriculture aud mining.
Could any nation furnish such evidences
of prosperity? Yet men were
found to talk about tho restraints we
put upon trade. Tho greatest g00,i
the greatest number; the largest opportunity
for human endeavor, were tho
maxims upon which our protective system
rested. [Applause.]
At the conclusion of Mr. McICinley's
speech, he was warmly congratulated
personally by almost every Republican
member present, while the cry of
"Vote," "Vote," was heard all over the
western side of the hall.
FOB Fit EE TKADJ5.
Mr. Mills Talks About the Iniquities of the
Protective Tariff.
Mr. Mills, of Texas, followed:
He declared that this was the first bill
* that had come before the American
3 people with its mask torn off; like a
' highwayman, demanding their puraes.
* [.Applause.] To check importation, was
~ to check exportation. Split hairs as you
3 may, no man could show that wo might
- sell without buying. When we refused
to take the products of other nation!
j that refusal was an interdiction ngains;
0 our exports, and as we. removed the
[m barriers to free exchange, we increases
our trade. Protection, boiled down
ij meant more work and less result; and
q carried out to its conclusion, it meant
0 all work and no result. Pig iron wat
1 the base of all our iron and steel manu
j factures. In 1871 prices were raised afte;
a period ol depression and the import
of pig iron were increasing. From 2,
500,000 tons in 1870, the imports of pii
is iron rose to 7,000.000 tons in 1873. 1
the Republican doctrine was true thei
l0 every ton imported displaces a ton o
1 American iron. But the tigureB showe<
ie that our domestic product rose from 52,
e? 000.000 tons in 1S70 to 119,000,000 ton
in 1872. That showed conclusively tlia
the Democratic position was right?tha
16 increased imports increased the demaut
for American labor. Following outthi
, tigures, it was seen that from 1880 t<
" 1885 when the{iranorts of pig iron drop
n pbd oil, the domestic production fell ot
ie more rapiddly. These figures preseutei
an argument, absolutely overwhelming

ir They had placed a duty on cabbago
and that wan to be the panacea for all ills.
The farmer could stand in liia cabbage
| patch and dofy the world. [Laughter.]
This was a cabbage head bill, [Applause,]
The .Republicans must uo
something more than this in order to
fool the farmers. The farmers understood
that they needed markets for their
product*. This bill would almost stop
the exportation of agricultural product*,
t- and then the Republicans would hear a
is storm worse than "a Nebraska cyclone.
I- In order to increase the homo market

A Democratic Sow ou Hand?'Warden Dyer ^
AiwuuiUig Arbitrary Power*.
Colum uus, May 7.?The Board of Peni- J,
tentiary Managers met in regular session 0
to-day, and transacted only routine business.
The oilicers elected at the last
mceting'have assumed their'duties, but c
those subsequently appointed by the t
Warden have not as yet been confirmed t
by the Board, and the informal discus- fl
sion of somo of these appointments made a
the atmosphere so warm that the Board t
was forced to adjourn over till Thurs- t
day to give it a chance to cool some- t
what. Jj
The Board is in a thoroughly disor- i
ganized and disgruntled condition aud B
, the bitterest feeling is manifest, and unless
something is doue soon t?o reconcile v
1 matters there will bo an open rupture 0
- that tiuio will not heal. Warden Dyer a
i is assuming arbitrary powers, and has v
already locked horns with Manager j
y Stnuten over the appointment of a mat- j
| ron. Mrs. Kate Naughton was appoint
: uu temporarily io mi.ine vacancy caus- j
1 eil by the removal of Mrs. Fitzgerald {
? for insubordination. Manager Stanton j
; insists Mrs. Naughton'a appointment \
' shall be made permanent, while Warden ,
1 Dyer demandB that the place shall be N
' given to Mrs. Marshall, of Georgetown, j
r and the resultant controversy is r bitter c
3 one. Jt iaalHo^stated that the Warden
" is scheming to lift- the scalp of Cory .
Brady, the new Assistant Deputy War- (
' den. Another cauao of discord is found ]
iu the case of the appointment of a t
j guard from Coshocton county. Thomas '
1 Weatherall was appoluted by the War- j
* den on the recommendation of Kepre- ,
3 sentative Forbes, and now a strong dele- \
' nation is here from Coshocton county, j
J and representing the anti-Forbes ele- j
1 rnent, protesting- against Weatherall'fl j
9 contirinatiou. ,
3 A remonstrance bearing the eigna'
tures of nearly a thousand Democrats in
Lawrence county was filed with the
I board to-day, protesting againBt the ,
treatment accorded Valentine Newman, ,
. late candidate for Warden or deputy, 1
{ and threatening to make their disap* J
J poiutment felt.
But the moBt shameful thing that baB <
0 marked the chaugo of management of i
II the penitentiary was the re-establish*
v ment to-day by order of the Warden, of :
1 that instrument of torture known as the 1
'a "Humming-bird," which was abolished :
, as cruel and inhuman ton years ago by i
J Warden Thomas. The "humming- i
? bird" is a zinc-lined tub connected with <
V electrtc batteries. After tho unfortu.
nate offender is immersed the current is j
lJ turnod on, two hundred.volts being the
* maximum-force applied. This puuishe

RUINS OF TIIE ASYLUM. ^
The ruinB of the asylum were next J
risited. Nothing but heaps of smoking t
tricks and mortar could be seen. No j

ear of the asylum are stables, where 1
ibout 100 men patients were quartered I
oat night under the supervision of the a
iBters, and four Montreal policemen.
?he scene ia not ouo to bo easily de- f

t made ono shudder to pass down bo- v

It was remarkable to see the
oolnees with which the good sisters
oothed the raving, cheered the deceased
and ministered to the wants of

The laundry was the next place visit- ^

patients, mostly quiet persons,

new system of co-operation with the j
men employed in their manufactories at
West Newton, near Pittsburgh, and at 1
Brunswick, Me. The system was put \
into operation April 1, and tho division !
of the profits will be annonnced in about
sis months, as the amount of profits can
not be determined accurately more than ,
twice a year. First to receive the
benefit will be the employes of the
Westmoreland Paper Company, at .
West Newton. Sometime this fall
tho system will be established at '
the Brunswick mills. The plan of 1
co-operation is described as follows by ]
Mr. Hicks, one of tho firm: 41 After the
ieterest on the capital invested has been
deducted from tho net profits, a percentage
of the remaining profits will be di- '
vided among the employes in proportion ]
to the amount of wages of each. *
"We have always paid good wages and .
1 havft never hnd n ntrilrn in ?.? '
toriee. There will be no decrease in the (
scale of wages now paid and there will '
be, therefore, a cleur gain to the em- 1
ployes. As soon as possible, probably
some time in October, some system of 1
mutual benefit will be established. The *
employes' profits will bo deposited to ]
their account in a savings bank, or what- 1
ever may be the form of the' mutual '
benefit. Our object is to eucourago tho \
employes to Bave money and at the same
time benefit ourselves, by making them 1
faithful to our interests." 1 1

0., special to tho Herald sayB: Tho inquest
over tho body of Willie Lenphar',
who was shot to death in his cell in Lexington
by a mob of men, was held in
Lexington yesterday. During tho progress
of tho inquest sovon of tho mon in
the mob were identified ns having assisted
and taken part in the assassiniition.
Tho jury remained out ten minutes
and roturned with tho remarkable
verdict that William Leahart caiue to
his death by ruu shot wounds at tho
hands of persons unknown.
Tho Governor will probably offer a
large reward for the conviction of the
murderers. Tho Solicitor will present tho
names of tho seven men ho has to the
IIMHll !?? ?
Among the evidence in the hands of
the Governor, which caused the Judge
to recommend a respite for Leaphart
and Governor Richardson to Kraut the
same, was to the effect that the girl ho ,
was supposed to havo raped had been
ruined recently, that exposure would
come in time und that tho scheme of
charging tho negro with tho assault was
arranged and planned by those most interested
in tho matter, so that they
would gain more time and perhaps ultimately
prevent exposure. Leaphart was
convicted solely upon Rosa Cannon'u
testimony.

New YojtK, May 7.?The following
Shanghai correspondence under tho dato
af April 7, was printed to-day in tho
Herald:
The young Emperor Kyang Ilsnn ,
md tho Dowager Empress aro much ai."
noyed at the notice which foreigners in
Jiiina aro taking of their domestic
jickerings. A Chinese newspaper would
not dare to hint at such matters, but
many uniuamen can read English anil
ind much entertainment in tho foreign
newspapers at present.
The foreign, press was officially assured
that tho Emperor and his mother wero
:ho best of friends, but this assuranco
carried little weight. For tho present
.he Empress has little authority, and tho
railway boards, her old enemies, have
:ome to tho front. In tho Emperor,
However, is vested the only valid power
n tho State. He is supposed to wield
lespotic power, but is really a "strong
nan in chai s." The reactionary party
?uides him at present, but many people
hink that he will Boon shake off all con.rol.
For decency's sake a format truce has
aeen patched up between tho Emperor
ind tho Dowoger Empress, and it is announced
that ne will visit her in her
palace aa often as possible.

London*, May 7.?Senor Predigal, who
presents the curious anomaly, especially
for such a country as Spain, of being a
Inancier and an enemy to the established
monarchy under which ho lives,
loes not think that the disturbances in
Barcelona and other places will have a
disastrous effect upon tho fato of tho
luiversal "suffrage bill not before tho
Spanish Cortes.
He thinks that the bill will probably
become a law before the recess of tho
Cortes in July. Tho affiliation of tho
jivil guard with thestrikers in Barcelona
ae thinks, is a sign of the times, but ono
which would bo more significant if it
bad taken place in a more conservative
community, ilarceloua ia not only tho
tnoat enlightened and progressive city ia
Spain, but its increasing wealth haw
mado it tho envy of other municipalities
and tho conservative leaders will not
fail to take advantage of provincial jealousies.
Still if tho monarchy can be
austained at all, ita powers will be greatly
abridged, and it does not seem as iC
retrogression would be again possible.
