(TILLMAN'S RETROSPECT IN CONGRESSIONAL
RECORD
SHOWS GREAT PROGRESS
+.
Senior Senator Tells of Hostile Attitude
of Many Towards Him Kighteen
Years Ago, Hut Since Then
The Things He Advocated Have
Become Bart of the Law.
Stating that when he came to the
senate 18 years ago ho was looked
upon as an ultra-radical and semianarchist
and that the plutocratic
press has never ceased to hold the
prejudice they then had a ainst him,
i hough some have become more liberal
and eenernns. Senator Tillman
Saturday secured consent of the senate
to publish in the JiocoM and to
have printed as a public document nil
article he prepa;cd at that time giving
his impressions and beliefs about
Wall street and the money power.
"I am asking for its publication,"
Senator Tillman said, "because so
much that was mere surmise and
prophecy then has come true, and I
feel it very appropriate for me to reproduce
it. 1 shall incorporate in it,
it the senate will permit me, statistics
and facts to make the picture a photograph
of present conditions, to be
compared with conditions which existed
in 1 896 something on the order
of 'before and after taking' or Tillninti
on conditions on 1S96 and those
conditions now brought down to date.
My retrospect is only for IS years.
"When 1 came to the senate 18
years ago 1 was looked upon as an
ultra-radical and semi-anarchist, and
the plutocratic press have never ceased
to hold tho prejudice they then
imbibed against mo, though of recent
years they have become more liberal
and somo of them oven generous in
their comments about my personal
characteristics.
One point that will strike everybody?and
it is a most importnat one
?is that, the income tax which the
supreme court then declared unconstitutional
lias just been enacted into
law, the constitution having been
amended so as to make it legal for
congress to do it.
"We have bad a great bowl in the
senate about the inequality and injustice
of the income tax. Rome eastern
senators have lamented the
wrong done to their constituents, the
well groomed and well fed millionaires,
who will have to contribute to
the expenses of running the government
because of this tax. They have
spoken about the injury done their
'people'?'my people' collectively?seemingly
unconscious of the fact,
which is very patent to any one, that
while the well-to-do in New England
and the middle West will bear most
of tho burden of the income tax,
these very men have been robbing
their fellow citizens, the working
men, and keeping them poor. These
rich men have systematically milked
the poor man's cow in tho east just as
they have milked the farmer's cow
in the West and South, but they have
been shrewd enough to make him believe
tho contrary. They have appealed
to tho poorer classes to vote
with them to keep the Democrats out
of power, and have succeeded until
the last election.
"1 do not believe that these poor
men can be bamboozled Into voting
against our Democratic president and
his policies by any such claptrap or
illogical appeals. The time is coming
very rapidly when the poor men
everywhere will line up at the ballot
box against wrong and oppression
without regard to party, and a demand
for laws which will secure
equality of opportunity with equality
of burden will be made in thundren
tones.
"Hut we have just begun to undo
the deviltry which has been perpetuated
by the Republican party in the
past 25 or 4 0 years. Let us continue
the good work until we enact laws
which will insure the country against
m an u feet u red panics such as was
produced in 1007.
"The 'silver craze' as it was called
in derision, has quieted down. The
'goldbugs' promised all sorts of blessings
to the country if the gold standard
was maintained. But somehow
the high cost of living continues to
climb and the poor people are getting
more and more restless. Some of
mem are annosi desperate and Hopeless
of any relief.
"I do not know myself what Is
wrong with the world, but I do know
this: The unrest is growing daily and
Socialists multiplying apace, and congress
should set itself honestly and
earnestly to the task of righting
things and furnishing relief. Charles
Francis Adams' address will throw a
great flood of light from the viewpoint
of that distinguished publicist
and patriot now verging on 80. The
essential parts of the Democratic
platform of 189G are going to he enacted
into law sooner or later.
"The people have chosen a wise
and patriotic, leader, who will neither
betray nor sell them out. Woodrow
Wilson is 'making good' every day
of his life and will go down in American
history as one of the greatest of
our presidents. Lett all laggard Dcm

Taking (he People's View, Says Mr.
llryan, is the Distinguishing Feature
of (lie President's Stand.
Secretary of State B.ryan spoke to
an audience of 1,501) people at Spartanburg
Tuesday night in Converse
college auditorium and afterwards ho
and Mrs. Bryan held u reception and
shook hands with practically every
person in the audience. Ho was introduced
hv Former (Jov. John Gary
I'iVans. Mr. Bryan took as his sub!ect
"President Woodrow Wilson's
Point of View". Ho paid an eloquent
tribute to the president, shownig
how upon every issue ho takes the
people's views. His address was said
by many to have been the greatest
they had ever heard him deliver.
lie touched upon tlie four great issues
that the present administration
lias had to deal with the tariff?he
said the hill just passed was a better
bill than lie had ever hoped for, particularly
commending the income tax
feature ?tho currency question, the
attitude of the administration toward
lie Phillipines, as just announced by
Francis Burton Harrison, tho newly
appointed governor general of the is
.atids, and the administration's peace
program, contemplating investigation
and report upon all questions of difference
arising between the nations
of the world.
Upon each of these questions Mr.
Bryan spoke at length, making particularly
clear the provision of the
currency bill now before congress and
advocating its passage. Answering
the demand of certain banking interests
of the country that they be tillowed
to have the naming of members
of the commission or board, that is,
to have supervision of the banking
business, under the provision of the
hill as it now stands, he asked why
the bankers should he more entitled
to name such a commission than the
railroads to elect the members of the
interstate commerce commission, lie
aid the people trusted the government
in everything else and would
have to trust it in handling their 11scal
affairs.
Mr. Bryan closed with an account
of administration's efforts in furthering
the cause of world-wide peace,
saying that four-fifths of the nations
or the world have indorsed the policy
advanced by the United States, lie
regards this as a great step toward
making wars improbable. Mr. 'Bryan,
accompanied by Mrs. Bryan, arrived
in Spartanburg Tuesday afternoon
at 0:30 o'clock from. King's
Mountain, N. C., making the 4 5 milo
trip in an automobile. Tuesday niglit
lie and Mrs. Bryan were the guests of
Former Gov. John Gary Evans. They
loft Wednesday morning for Ashcvillc,
where they spent a day or so.

.Many Corn and Tomato Clubs Arc In
the Land.
Tho department of Agriculture
Tuesday announced that winners of
the State prizes in the boys' corn
club, contests in the Southern States
would visit Washington and he welcomeed
by the department on December
11. It is proable that winners
of Stato prizes in tho girls' tomato
raising contests will visit here
at the same time. There now are
about 70,000 hoys in the corn clubs
in tho Southern States and about34,000
girls in the tomato clubs. The
Northern States have just started organizing
this year, hut it is thought
that altogether there are about 100,000
children in the club work.
Present indications are that there
will he something over 2 00 hoys in
the Southern States whose corn crop
will average more that 100 bushels
to the acre, although this was a had
year for corn in the South. Twenty
five bushels an acre has been the av
im age 01 ino united states lor several
years. The department is workin/;
out a plan for crop rotation and
hop; raising by which, with two acres,
it is believed a boy will be able permanently
to improve the fertility of
an acre of ground and make enough
to keep a family of five. The officials
arc not yet ready to give out the details
of tho new club plan.

expressing confidence in his ability '
to defeat Coventor Colo L. Blease in '
the primaries next summer, United
States Senator 10. 1). Smith, when in
Columbia Tuesday would comment
no further on the race than to say,
"1 will succeed myself." He listened
to questions about politics and show- 1
ed that ho is keeping up with every '
development, but would a Id nothing '
more, lie had nothing to say when '
told of the conference of tho Blease
lenders, which has been called for (
Fair Week to outline tho 1 Mease program
for capturing the State Con- 1
vontion, and Iho Democratic execu- 1
live committee next spring.
Senator Smith would not say anything
on the tangle over the appoint- 1
ment of a United States district at- 1
torney and marshal for South Caro- 1
Una. He gave it as his opinion that
the bill, which has been introduced
in the Senate by Senator Tillman and
in the House by Congressman Aiken, (
providing for the division of the State
into two Federal districts would he- !
come law. '
Senator Smith talked interestingly
on national matters, and is satisfied '
the pasago of the new tariff bill will
work greatly to the advantage of the 1
country, and especially to the farmers.
He thinks the banking and cur- (
rency bill will he passed by the Senate,
and that along with the reduction
in the t.'iriff duties the farmers 1
will benefit greatly. (
"The outlook for the agricultural ;
interests is brighter than I have ever '
known it, and thoro is more general
interest manifested in farming and
farmers along practical lines than
ever before," he said. "With the '
tariff adjusted and with the banking 1

give the farmers equal facilities for

war banking and currency measure.
The farmers have waited long enough 1
and borno the burden long enough '
to tie recognized,' said the Senator.
Senator Smith thinks the present
session of Congress will run rigitt in- 1
to the regular session. He believes 1
the currency bill will get through tIte 1
upper branch lit time for the regular
session. The junior senator has only
praise for the Wilson administration '
and warmly commended (lie work of 1
Secretary McAdoo in depositing Government
money in Southern and
1
Western banks to assist in moving
the crops, which prevented a panic. '
The Senator was greeted by scores 1
of his friends. Many men called at ^
his room in the hotel to shake hands
with and assure him that he would f
be re-elected United States Senator.
Senator Smith was accompanied by
ltis wife, and they are attendinig the 1

Thomas Touhesky, prisoner Blnce
Friday of last week in an abandoned ?
chamber of the Continental mine of
the Lehigh Valley Coal Company at
Centralia, Pa., walked into the open
lir a free and comparatively well man
fit 22 minutes before 8 o'clock Saturday
morning. He was taken to his
home in Centralis, three miles away,
from his underground prison, and at
3nco put to hed, apparently none the ^
worse for his remarkable experience. ,
It was 7:15 o'clock when the last ;
barrier of coal was driven away and ^
Toshesky crawled through the open- j
ing from his prison chamber into the ,
tunnel which had been steadily driv- (
m toward him by eager, willing res- t
cuers. Seven minutes later the first t
Intimation was given to the outside \
world that the big task was complet- v
?d and the prisoner was free. This t
was when a miner crawled to the ^
mouth of the tunnel and called to the ]
top of the pit for blankets and hot \
?van-1 10 uo Belli, down.
Toshesky climbed the path to the (
rim of tlio pit almost unaided. A v
stretcher had been taken to tho foot
and thcro were plenty of willing c
hands to carry him, but he would x
have none of it. llis whole attitude (
from the time of the rescue until he j
disappeared beneath the blankets in .
his own bod at home was one of semi- \
stolidity. Tosheskv was glad to get <
ant of liis prison, but he acted as if it r
were an old story to him and nothing ,
over which to make a great fuss. I
Once before in his career as a min- (
cr he had been entombed for nearly f
4 8 hours. Half way up the pit Tosh- i
?8ky was stopped anil posed for a
photograph, together with Dr. H. ft. ^
Fortner, who had been in almost con- \
stand touch with him since communi- \
nation was established Tuesday night, 7
and to whom is largely duo to good j
healths of the man. Toshesky wore (
I ho broadest smilo of any person in (
the vicinity when brought out. 7
Describing his experience, Tosh- |
r?sky said when he was closed in he j
thought lie would bo crushed to N
death, as there was several thousand ?.
wagon loads of coal piled towards (
him from the hotton of tho breast. t
In faet, two breasts of coal ran away.
Continuing, Toshesky said through p
in interpreter: 7
"My dinner bucket and coat at the v
bottom of tho breast were lost as the f
coal rushed in. I had all my tools f
with me and my lamp was burning, j
T had a half quart of oil in a can by \
my side. Sizing up the situation, I j
found T was entombed in a space sev
cn by fifteen feet. i
"I had been entombed twice before g
uul rescuers soon got mo out. I felt t
lliat they would again take care of f
me. From Friday until Tuesday I i
was without anything to eat or drink <
mil on the last day my oil gave out. (
1 was in darkness. It was a dismal f
period from then until the rescuers a
lrove tho boro hole through. After
1 got several drinks of eggnog I felt ^

his candidacy for tho Senate.
THE NEW TARIFF BILL
??
SOME OF MANY GOOD THINGS
CLAIMED FOK IT.
?
It Will Deduce tlio Prices of Many of
the Necessities of Life to the Consumer.
President "Wilson's signing of the
Underwood-Simmons hill brings into
effect one of the most far-reaching
revisions of tariff rates and revenue
laws enacted for many years.
A new income tax, appling directly
to the incomes of citizens; the abolition
of all tariff on scores of
items of immenso importance to
American industry and American
consumers and a heavy reduction of
tariff rates on most of the articles in
general use in this country aro its
chief features.
While certain portions of the new
law do not take effect at once, most
of its provisions and almost all the
direct tariff reductions, do.
At every port collectors of customs,
appraisers of merchandise and
hundreds of other emplyoees of the
treasury department will plunge at
once into the task of collecting the
nation's revenue on a new basis, and
with hundreds of new classifications
and new provisions of law to complicate
their activities.
The Federal government lias been
spending nearly a billion dollars a
year and the new tariff law will raise
less than one-third of that sum. Recent
estimates by tariff experts in
Congress predict that the rates will
raise $24 9,000,000 a year; and that
the income tax will raise $1 22,000,000.
The remainder of the government's
rrreat income is made nn nrln
cipally of internal revenue taxes ami
postal receipts.
The income tax probably will bring
the new tariff law most forcibly to
the attention of citizens. President
Wilson and Democratic lenders in
Congress believe, however, that the
reduction of duties on clothing, foodstuffs
and other necessaries of life,
and the complete removal of the duty
from many like articles, will eventually
bring a reduction in the "cost
of living" without materially affecting
business prosperity.
A brief summary of the tariff
law as prepared for the Senate follows:
Average percentage of tariff rates,
as compared to the value of all imported
merchandise, old law 3 7 per
cent; new law 27 per cent.
Value o&annual imports added to
the free list $14 2,000,000.
Estimated revenue from all import
rates, old law $3 05,000,000; new law
$249,000,000.
Estimated revenue from corporation
and income taxes, old law, $37,000,000;
new law $122,000,000.
Altogether, consumers in the United
States probably will receive from
abroad free of all tariff, more than
$1,000,000,000 worth of merchandise
during the next year. During 1912
the amount of "free imports" was
more than $3 80,000,0 00, and when
the tariff is entirely removed from
wool, sugar, iron ore and plionn imn
and other Important items, (lie total
Is expected to increase notably. Under
the old law more than 53 per
cent, of all goods brought to the
United States from all parts of tbo
world paid no tariff, and that proportion
will be Increased by the new law.
The free wool provisions of the
new law takes effect December 1,
1913; the free sugar provision May
1, 1910.
The new tariff law, passed four
years after President Taft signed tho
existing Aldrich-Payne law, is tho result
of more than nine months of
work in Congress. Hearings were
started January G, by the House ways
and means committee. Chairman
Underwood introduced the tariff bill
April 7, immediately after President
Wilson had convened the new Congress.
It passed tho House May S
and the Senate September 9.
In the opinion of its makers tho
Democratic leaders of Congress, the
most important features of the new
tariff are:
A reduction of nearly one-half in
the average tariff on foodstuffs and
farm products.
The placing of raw wool on tho
free list, and a reduction of nearly
two-thirds in the tariff on woollen
clothing, especially of tho cheaper
grades.
A reduction of one-third (average)
on cotton clothing.
Reduction of the sugar tariff and
its ultimate abolishment in 1910.
A reduction of one-third (average)
in the tariff on earthenware and
glassware.
Abolishment of all tariff on meats,
fish, dairy products, flour, potatoes,
coal, iron ore, lumber and many
classes of farm and ofllce machinery.
General tariff reduction on all important
articles in general use.
