VOL. XXI, NO. 35 DARLINGTON, S. C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 30,1894 WHOLE NUMBER 1,021 MESSAGE ON TARIFF. Why Cleveland Withheld Hie En dorsement of the Bill. PASSAGES NOT IN THE LINE OF REFORM The Good and Rad Features of the Measure That Have Gone Into Effect—Presi- / dent’s Opinion of the Legis lation and its Result. Washington, August 28. -There has been much speculation as to the rea sons why Mr. Cleveland withheld his official approval from the new tariff bill. In the following letter, written late yestenlay afternoon to Represen tative Catchings, of Missouri, bis posi tion is pearly set forth : “Executive Mansion, “Washington, D. C.,' August 27, 1894. “Hon. T. C. Catchings: “My Dear Sir—Since the conversa tion 1 had with you and Mr. Clark, of Alabama, a few days ago, in regard to my action on the tariff bill now before me, I have given the subject further and most serious consideration. The result is 1 ani more than ever in the de termination to allow the bill to become a law without mv signature. “When the formation of legislation which it was hoped would embody dem ocratic ideas of tariff reform was lately entered upon by the congress, nothing was further from my anticipation than a result which I could not promptly and enthusiastically endorse. “It is therefore with a feeling of the utmost disappointment that I submit to a denial of this privilege. Contain. Inconsistencies and Crudities. "I do not claim to be better than the masses of my party, nor do I wish to avoid any responsibility which, on ac count of the passage of this law. I ought to bear as a member of the dem ocratic organization. Neither will I permit myself to be separated from my party to such, an extent as might bo implied by my veto of the tariff legisla tion, which, though disappointing, is still chargeable to democratic effort. But there are passages in this bill which arc not in the direct line of hon est tariff reform, and it contains incon sistencies and crudities which ought not to appear in tariff laws or laws of any kind. Beside* there were, as you and I well know, Incidents accompany ing the -passage of the bill through the congress, which made every sincere tariff reformer very unhappy, while influences surround it in its lat ter stages, and interfered with its final construction, which oughfr not to be recognized or tolerated in democratic traiff reform councils. “And yet, notwithstanding all its vlssioitude and all the bad treatment it received at the hands of pretended friends, it presents a vast improvement to existing eonditions. It will certain ly lighten many a tariff burden that new rests heavily upon the people. It is not only a barrier against the return of mad protection, but it furnishes a vantage ground from which must be waged further aggressive operations against protected monopoly and gov ernmental favoritism. Good Features of the Bill, Now Law. I take my place with the rank and file of the democratic party who be lieve in tariff reiorm, and who know it is, who refuse to accept .the results embodied in this bill as the close of the war, who are not blinded to the fact that the livery of democracy has been stolen and worn in the service of re publican protection, and who have (narked the deadly light of treason that has blasted the councils of the brave in their hour of night. The trusts and combinations—the communion of pelf— whose machinations have prevented us from reaching the success we deserved, should not be forgotten or forgiven. We shall recover from our astonish ment at their exhibition of power, and if then the question is forced upon us whether they shall submit to the free legislative will of the people’s represen tative^ or shall dictate the laws which the people must obey, we will accept and settle that issue as one involving the integrity and safety of American institutions. “I love the principles of true democ racy beoause they are founded in pa triotism and upon justice and fairness toward all interests. I am proud of my party organization because it is con servatively sturdy and persistent in the enforcement of principles. Therefore, I do not despair of the efforts made by the house of representatives to supple ment the bill already passed by further legislation, and to have engrafted upon it such modifications as will more near ly meet democratic hopes and aspira tions. *" Necessity of Free R«w Materials. " I cannot be mistaken as to the ne cessity of free row materials as the foundation of logical and sensible tariff reform. The extent to which this is recognized in the legislation already secured is one of its encourag ing and redeeming features; but it is vexatious to recall that while free coal and iron ore have been denied use, a recent letter of the secretary of the treasury discloses the fact that both might have been made free by the annual surrender of only about $700,000 of unnecessary revenue. “I am sure that there is a common habit of underestimating the impor tance of free raw materials in tariff legislation, and of regarding them as only related to concessions to be made to bur manufacturers. The truth is their influence is so far reaching that if regarded, a complete and beneficent scheme of tariff reform cannot be in augurated. When we give to our manufacturers free raw materials we unshackle Amer ican enterprise and ingenuity, and thsee will open tha. doors of foreign markets to the reception of our wares and give oBnortvaitr for Uts oobVuiupus ana remunerauve employment oi American labor. With raw materials cheapened by their freedom from tariff charges the cost of their product must be corresponding!}’ cheapened. Tlie Benefit!* Practicable. Thereupon justice and fairness to the consumer would demand that the manu facturers be 'obliged to submit to such a readjustment and modification of the tariff upon their finished goods as would secure to the people the benefit of the reduced cost of their manufacture, and shield the consumer against the exactions of inordinate profits. It will thus be seen that free raw material and a just and fearleas regu lation and reduction of the tariff to meet the changed condition, would carry to every human home in the land, the blessings of increased comfort and cheaper living. “The millions of our countrymen who have fought bravely and well for tariff reform, should be exhorted to continue the struggle, boldly challeging an open warfare and constantly guarding against treachery under half-hearted ness in their camp. “Tariff reform will not be settled until it is honestly and fairly settled in the interest and to tile benefit of a patient and long suffering people.” (Signed.) Yours very truly. Gbover Cleveland. THE WAR IN THE EAST. Ilntlghtrnment of Japan Waged Agaln.l Ignorance tn China. Baltimore, August 29.—Rev. A. R. Morgan, in charge of the Methodist Pro testant missions in .lajian, writes from Nagoya under the date of August 4, that on July 29 Ja’ianese gained a complete victory over the Chinese at Soughvan, and on July 39, at 7 a. m. marched on San, the headquarters of the Chinese forces in Korea. Mr. Morgan continues as follows: “What in America might be termed the jingo section of the nation are jubilant over the first news of the conflict and the soberer part of the people are set ting about rendering practical assis tance. The names of persons making private contributions of money, etc., appear in the native press by the hun dreds daily. One man has already given 810,000, and the leading bankers and financiers are holding meetings to develope plans for rendering effectual assistance. Internal political strife seems to all have been buried for the time in one common cause. “The Japan Mail yesterday gave a circumstantial report of a poor man who has saved from his meager earn ings just 82.50 a year for the last forty years, making in all a total of 8100, ail of which he has tendered to the author ities for use in the war. “This is a war between enlightened progress, as represented by Japan on the one hand, and whatever anyone may terra China on the other. It will most likely mark an epoch in the his tory of the orient, if not of the world. And of the determination of Japan and the magnitude of her officers on the one hand and a refusal of 1,500 men in a merchant ship to surrender to three modern Japan men of war on the other, and if the mutual hatred of the two races may bo taken as an indication of the conflict, it will be bloody.” THE EFFORT OF HIS LIFE. McKinley Freparlnc for the Opening of HIs Fr«*sl(!rntht! Campaign. Somerset. Pa., August 28.—Got. Mc Kinley, of Ohio, is spending two weeks in this sequestered spot, ostensibly for rest, but in reality to put together the greatest effort in his life in the way of a political speech. He has been ex pected to resent most forcibly and elo quently the appeal of the McKinley law and the passage of the new tariff bill; but. deaf to all questioning, he abso lutely declined to be interviewed or to gi“e a single sentence of encourage ment to the millions who, he thinks, arc panic-stricken at the so-called blow at American industries. He declares that he Is here to rest and not to dis cuss the tariff. Gov. McKinley is the guest of Abner McKinley, a brother, who iives in New York, but has a summer residence here. Si ice his arrival the governor has been feted and serenaded in a small way. but even when a concourse of citizens call ed upon him with a brass band and nominated him for president the other ni ;ht he declined to make even the smallest mite of a speech, simply bow ing his acknowledgements, without a w< rd. Even to his intimate friends he de ’lines to give his views on the death of the law which bears his name. CROOKS CAUGHT AT LAST. Tv. o of tti«* Members of m Bold Pang Ar rested tn Clileago. Chicago, August 28.—Two of the five men who created such a furore in the town of Lake last Saturday by riding round in a cab and tapping the tills of various saloons, were captured last night by a clever plan of Detectives Miller and Cummings, of the Thirty- tifeh street police station. The two men were recognized as two well known crooks named John, alias “Birdie” Dorney and John Burgess. As the tactics used were similar to th we used by Slater and Malloy, who were held over yesterday by Justice Wallace, the police are of the opinion th it they are members of an organized gang, and that in the arrest an !m)> >r- tant bit of police work lias been ac complished.

Miss Reed’s trosseau is being made in Brussels The Marquis de Biliotte is considerably older than his fiancee. It was once thought that his engagement would be announced to a wealthy young woman of New York, whose sister is married to a man of title. Mr. and Mrs. Bradley-Martin will sail for New York early in December, and will open their house in West Twentieth street, and will take a box at the opera. Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt will, in all probability, take a house in Ixmdon for next summer, when her daughter. Miss CYrasuelo Vanderbilt, will be formally introduced in society.

The father, who spends most of his time on the road, is now out of town, but the fact that the train robber is his son was confirmed at the office yesterday. Young Griswold was always wild, and ran away from home some years ago to become a cow boy.
