Views on Morrison's Tariff Bill
Touching " Upon Bice Arcn
menu for and Aealnst. :-
WASHraaTOK. March 8.-Civil Ser
vice commissioner Trenholm ap
peared before the ways - and means
committee tosday " to express i his
views upon the sections of Morrison's
tariff bill touching . upon rice. He
said that the duty on rice imported
into the Pacific : States was paid by
Chinese laborers who were the con
sumers, and almost the only tax paid
by the r Chinese. -" Trenholm told of
the ill eiiects on the rice plantations
in this country, resulting from its
disuse during the war;' and said that
if the production should be checked
at this time, it would be ; difficult, or
almost impossible, to re-establish the
sources or supply . within a lone pe
riod; theland was fit for no other
purpose and tne laboring people
would drut away and could not be
recalled. . Secretary Folger had made
a ruling assimiiaune ' broKen rice
meal under the name of granulated
rice, and that ruling had the effect of
increasing the 'importation of that
class of rice from eleven million
pounds to two hundred and seventy
five millions, and prices ; had fallen
from four to two cents per pound
The law should - contain a provision
against the introduction, of j any rice
at a-rate ot i autyinat was notius
tended to be applied to it. ..If it was
the intention to let in this ' rice at a
lowerrate of duty, it would be "better
to state it specifically m the tans.
and not" leave theTate to be fixed by
unstable treasury rulings. ; Almost
the entire cost of rice production was
in the labor 90 cents on the dollar.
he should say. Trenholm ; told of a
planter who had abandoned his plan
tation because he found : that cross
road storekeepers were selling East
India rice to nis laborers. Trenholm
admitted that we had free trade in
the East, but said that if the protect
ive system were maintained, then he
should deem tne tramc as a necessity,
Protection enhanced the cost of all
labor ' and - this -country could
not competed in i rice . ".cul
ture - with ; Asiatic F l i nations,
with their - crop labor,- without ins
eluding rice in the list o protect
ed articles. ' in answer to Hewitt be
said that there should be a uniform
duty on rice, and another to cover
rice flour. ... : '
Hewitt pointed out tnat that was
the present la w. in effect ; the - diffi
culty seemed to be in the interpreter
tion of the law discrimination bes
tween true nee flour and rice. :
Trenholm suggested that rice might
be graded by its size to be determin
ed by screens: all above certain size
be graded as rice and all below that
size be graded as rice flour, i
Representative Dibble, : of South
Carolina, discussed the mattar from
the laborers point ot view, saying
that the labor employed in the rice
culture formed an "appreciable part
ot tne country s laboring population
and was entitled to consideration at
the hands of the committee.1
Representative Gay, of La,, spoke
of the excessive cost of hornest labor
on rice plantations, in his state, as
compared with : cheap East India
labor. He said that it had become
the practice for European exporters
yj imiLa auvautage oi tne low tarin on
that grade in this country.
JMLornson, represeniiag i the rice
dealers, said that the brewers con
sumed broken rice to the extent of
several million bushels per month.
and that the production of this coun.-
try was too small to supply the de
mand. It had been shown that the
southern dealers bought! foreign
broken rice, mixed it with their whole
grain and sent it West for sale. Bice
was a necessity in brewing light
colored beers, as our native barley
was too oars in color tor the purpose.
eariy an oroKen rice was used in
brewing, and not one respectable
grocer in New xors could be found
who would state that broken rice was
sold by them for fuod. Louis Schade
said that one brewing firm in the
West usel an amount of broken rce
equal to the entire production of the
country
. EL B. James, ' representing a firm
of New York nee dealers' also con
tended : that the . native production
was coo small to meet the brewers'
demand. : c -
T. S. Wilkinson, of La., a planter
and miller, denied j that Louisiana
dealers mixed foreign broken rice
with home product. He declared
that there was an opportunity for
fraud; imported broken rice was fit
for food and two thirds of the; Louisi

For Bef asinar to Contribute to an
OldTeaenera' Belief.
St. Louis, March 7. Mrs. Cather
ine Scales, 70 years eld, nearly blind
and poverty stricken, was a - teacher
for nearly fifty years . in the public
schools. An effort is being made by
the teachers to get up a fund for her:
In furtherance of this object, Mrs.
Jane Anderson, 'a teacher, wrote a
note to General Sherman, on Februs
ary 26, asking : him to contribute to
the fund. The following is the Gen
eral's reply: 'j
Mbs. J. Andersojt Dear Madam :
Your feeling appeal in behalf of Mrs.
Uatherine ttcales,ot the Jenerson pub
lic school is before me, and,': though
you are a stranger fo me, I will ven
ture to offer a few facts- which I hope
will convince you that Gen. Sherman
ought not to be expected to contribute
to this chanty, though most worthy.
I have 'owned real ! property f in ; St. '
Louis since 1850,-on ' which I have
paid thousands of dollars in taxes,
and I havn't received a cent in return.
My family is Catholic, and Mrs. Sher
man would no more consent to have
her children enter a public school
than a common tavern. Theretore,
in addition -to my school taxes, I have
been compelled to pay large prices
for education in private schools.
Again, for the patt twenty years I
have been taxed heavily by old union
soldiers, who are sent to me by neigh
bors, or naturally come to me in their
distress. JL believe 1 am thus taxed
$5 to SI paid bv any of the most
wealthy citizens of St. Louis, and this
is one of the causes which drives me
from St. Louis. : , ' . " 1
I sympathize, of course.' with Mrs.
Scales, and believe the school board
can and would provide for her in her
old age. They can and must em
ploy her in some nominal capacity.
They 'have no right, after forty
years' 1 faithful service, to turn her
out on the cold charity of the. world.
They would not treat a horse in that
brutal fashion. I expect to continue
to pay over $200 a year to the school
tax of St. Louis, and -cheerfully offer
to dedicate the whole or a part of it
for a fund to maintain worthy teachs
ers who have given the best years or
their life to teaching, over and above
my school tax.' I cannot - afford
more, and must beg you to excuse
me. With respect, your friend.

A (Good DogrJStory.
Setter "Van, of Macon, (Ja. t is well-
known as one ot the best bird-dogs
of the land, but now he has immors
talized himself. His master was ex
ercising him in a field where a droye
of cattle were grazing, and Van
came to a point in beautiful form,
While his master was "walking slow
ly up, enjoying the sight, a big bul
walked out from the drove, and ads
vanced upon the motionless dog with
great conndence. To bis astonish
ment the dog didn't stir. The bull
stopped.looked surprised, and took a
few more steps. Then he stopped
and looked and again advanced, and
so by degrees he peached the dog and
brushed the extended tajl with his
nose, i Then Van gave evidence of
being ahye by tucking 'his tail deftly
between his legs, but otherwise re
mained as motionless as a graven
image.- Somewhat emboldened by
his success, v the bull, apparently still
in doubt, slowly put his horns under
Van's hind legs and carefully lifted
him a couple of feet from the ground
Van never flinched. Just then the
birds arose and the master fired
whereupon the dog turned on that
bull with fury, and chased him until
he had i uljy avenged the insult.
