If people will think for a moment,
common sense will teach them that
the merchant who buys goods on time
and tells on time must sell his goods
higher to coTer his losses. All lines of
merchandise go through a regular chan
nel of trade. There are distinct profits
charged and to each of them am extra

ten per cent is added to xover the losses
by credit. Count this up: ten per cent
' by the manufacturer who sell to the job

Now you can see the difference between

at. -During the transaction of routine
morning, business (the pceseptation of
reports from committees,' etc.i) Mr.
Blackburn said : " Mr., President, I am
directed by the committee on naval af
fairs to report favorably on the nomina
tion which I send to the desk. "What
is that?' said Mr. Harris, "A nomina
tion?' 'Mr. Sherman's breath seemed
to have been taken away, , After a mo
ment's hesitation he said, in something
of an undertone, "It will be withheld."
Mr, Blackburn begged pardon of the
chair.! I j . i j -:
Tbi chair laid ibefortl the Senate Mr.
Logan's resolution, offered yesterday, to
refer to the committee ion rulesi for in
vestigation, the letter of Mr, Eads de
nying that he (Eads) had any' represen
tatives oh the floor of the Senate.
Mr, Rlddleberger found in the" reso
lution and . Eads' letter to Logan, as
printed in today's Record, an attack
upon hiinselt' for which he held Mr.
Logan responsible and against which
Mr. Logan protested. The controversy
between these two gentlemen Occupied
the greiter' part of the time until 2
o'clock, when the matter went over
without f action, the chair then laying
before the Senate; a resolution from the'
judiciary committee concerning the re-
lations of the Senate and the President.
Mr, Pugh said he hid expressed his
views fully upon; the subject of the de
bate m the' report made fronj the ju
diciary .committee by the minority, and
the main object he had in what jhe had to
say in-'reply to the Venator from
Vermont was to prevent, if it was in his
power to do so, (which he admitted was
difficult undertaking) to prevent the
Senator from changing the character of
the question between the Senate and the
President. The real character of that
controversy could not be misunderstood
or misrepresented, as it had arfeen upon
theacts apparent upon record and re
ported by the majority Of the judiciary
committee. When the Senator from
Vermont was at the wheel he Bteered by
his own chart; he never ran on straight
lines; ha never consulted other sailors,
and be lost his temper when there was any
question! of the skill of, his seamanship;
and when the officer of the ship under
took to select a crew to man it without his
advice and consent he instantly headed
mutiny. At the risk of incurring the
displeasure of his honorable and distin
guished friend he should call k reckon
ing so that we might understand where
we are , and whither we are j drifting.
What were the facta by which it is the
duty of ; all of us to be; guide! ? They
were few and simple. : On the, 17th of
July, 1885, George M. Duskin, being
d is tr lot :, attorney
of the southern d's-
trict of Alabama, was suspended by the
President and on the same day John DA
uuxuet wu ucBiguaieu to uiacuarge ue
duties of that office. On the 14th of
December, 1885, the Senate being in
session,' Burnett was npmniated to the
Senate,, to get its advice and consent to
his appointment.; That nomination was
referred to the judiciary cominittee and
it lay there over a month- Ini the mean
time, on the 20th.of December! 1885, the
term of .office of George M. Duskin
expired the 25th of.January,I886. One
month after the term of Mr, Duskin had
expired he was no longer an incumbent
of office. A resolutioq was sent by the.
Senate: to the attorney general. (The
Senator here read the resolution of the
Senate -calling for the papers in the
Duskin case and for what purpose he
asked.fwas that the information sought
by the Senate of the attorney general. )
The m.-jorjty of the committee stated
distinctly the purpose, for which the
Senator read from the; majority report
a passage ending with the declaration
that publio interest and public duty
would require that the facts be made
known in order that the Senate may un
'derstandingly and promptly advise
their removal. It was useless Mr. Pueh
continued (for i him to read other
passages in the report . On making
the same statement mat tne use
the Senator intended to make of docu
ments and papers sought from the attor
ney general wad to enable, the Senate to
exercise the power of revising the act
oi uie rnoTai OI sain oy e rresi-
dent 3 What was the character of the
information sought by the Senate from
the office of the attorney general ? The
resolution spoke for itself on that sub
ject f
"Resolved, That the attorney gen
eral of the United States 1 be and he
hereby is directed to transmit to the
Senate copies of all documents and
papers."
Not public ; documents ; r not official
documents ; not public or official papers;
but private documents and private p
pers, relating exclusively to an official
aot of the President in the suspension
of Uuskin as district attorney. The in
quiry proposed by the cenate was to he
made with tne Knowledge of tbe fact that
more than four weeks before the resolu
tion was offered to the senate the term
of Duskin had expired, j Then what
possible use. could be made of infor
mation sougat. in mat case 1 it was a
pure .fiction. ; Why the report of the
majority declared that information was
wanted to enable the Senate to discharge
the great duty imposed uppu it of mak
ing inquiry as to the propriety of an
official act by the President, the power
t6 do which was expressly conferred
upon him by law to be exeroised within
his ; discretion. If they ; had decided
that the removal was improper or un
wise, what would have been the effect of
the decision ? Could it have restored
Duskin? Was he still a suspended officer
awaiting the adjournment of the Senate
to be restored to the duties of his office ?
The Senate was today engaged in an in
quiry 'about the matter from which
there could be no practical result.- It
was a moot question merely, and the
Senate was turned into a moot court to
discuss purely an abstract proposition.
The refusal of the attorney general, five
weeks after the expiration of his term of
office, in obedience to the express
order of the President to send in the pri
vate documents relating to the suspen
sion of Duskin, was criticised in a reso
lution of the majority as a violation of
duty and a violation denounced as
being subversive of the principles of
government and of good adminis
tration, an act so characterized
as to make it sufficient ground for instant
impeachment. What was the relation
between the President and hi cabinet
officers ? Mr. Pugh would let Mr.
Edmund's own words answer that anes-
tion. He quoted from one wfddr.
Edmunds speeches on tenure of office
act, to show that Mr. Edmunds held
that a cabinet officer should be gen
tleman personally agreeable to the
President, being one of his confidential
advisers. Yet the Senate was asked to
pass resolution condemning the attorney
general for obeying the President whose
adviser he was, who stood in that re
lation of trust and confidence in him in
dicated by the quotation from the speech
of the: Senator trom Vermont. The
attorney general was asked by this reso
lution of the Senate to disregard the
position and order of the President, and
thereby make himself liable to in tan t
dismissal from the cabinet. The terms of
that relation were stated by the Senator A
from Vermont himself. The President1
could not with self-respect have held
mat attorney general in nis cabinet
a single moment after obeying the reso
lution of the Senate Was that the
way for one co-ordinate department of
the government to treat another ?. Was
not that a request from thi sgreat; law-making-power
to the chief magistrate
or his attorney general that ' would re
sult in breaking up their relations of
confidence and trust and making the at
torney general liable to instant dismis
sal from the cabinet ?
What did the President say about the
action of the Senate asking the attorney
general for these papers ?
Mr. r Pugh read at length from the
President's : message: amone other
things ' the statement that there ; "had
been no official papers or documents
filed in his (attorney general's) depart
ment relating to the case within the
period stated in his resolution."
There, said Mr. Pugh, "is a state
ment by the President of the matter of
fact within bis personal knowledge, and
the Senator from Vermont controverted
the truth of that statement, having no
foundition whatever for denial. There
a square issue made in 'he
report: of a majority of the ju
diciary-committee with the President
upon matter oi fact that is within
his personal knowledge.
&e attorney general such as this 8enate
Are these papers called for from
nai the rieht to have in the discharge of
its duties?
The President had stated that the papers
were private and unofficial, and related
to nothing over which the Senate had
jurisdiction. : The ' majority of thti ju
diciary committee and its distinguished
chairman, the Senator from Vermont,
said that although private and unofficial
they would enable the benate to dis
charge the duty it had to perform tho
power it claimed of revising the oincial
act of the President in suspending
George M. Duskin as district attorney.
That was the undisputed basis of the
claim to these private unofficial papers.
It was in the power of the Senate to
exercise, the same control and revision
over the 'act of suspension or removal
that was claimed and exercised and given
to the Senate expressly by the constitu
tion, of advising and consenting to the
appointment. There was no mistake
about that being the claim asserted by
the majority of the judiciary committee
and there was a mistake that the resolu
tion reported condemned the official act
of the attorney general for the reason
that he had withheld, on order of the
President, information that he stated
was private ; documents and papers that
he said were unomcial and private aua
withheld from the Senate on the Presi
dent's positive orders; first, because
they ' were ; private and unofficial, and
secondly, because they related to no
constitution or law imposed
"It. aJJ- ..t- ,v.. m
svid Mr, Puh, "In the history of the
govenment to support this claim? The
distinguished Senator from Vermont has
presented a long array of what he calls
precedents, 1 undertake to say ana 1
challenge denial on the fullest test that
there is no case in the history ot the
. . ... ...
government for the last eighty years
where any such documents as these
called for in this resolution were ever
transmitted to the Senate in execu
tive or the public session on the order
of the Senate upon an attorney general
or a President. My honorable and dts
tinguuhed friend paraded, in a manner.
that indicated that he was about to
achieve a great triumph over the Presi
dent inthe production, the letter to
the Senate from the judiciary committee
and signed bv Allan if. inurman as
its chairman, to the attorney general,
I endorse all: that the Senator has so
well said about Allen li. Thurman.
Yesi Mr. President. Allen G. Thurman
is the greatest and wisest and purest
American statesman now living. I Ap
plause in the galleries, whose occupants
were notified by the occupant of the
chair (Harris) that any further demon
strations of applause would result in
the galleries being cleared. I was
surorised that the great Senator from
Vermont in this peat law-making de
partment of the government should in
voke the name and fame and authority
of that great statesman to sustain the
claim now made en the attorney general
for those documents. What bad; Sen
ator Thurman said on the floor of the
Senate in relation to this power
of removal?" Mr. Pugh read from
Senator Thurman's . speeches on the
debate on the tenure of office act, in
which he express the conviction that the
power t of removal was an executive
fower exclusively, residing ini the
resident alone, i Yet the Senator from
Vermont invoked an order signed by
Mr, Thurman as chairman of the judi
ciary committee, addressed to the attor
ney general, which Mr. Pugh would
read to the Senate.' Mr. Pugh read a
letter, which was read yesterday bv Mr.
Edmunds, calling for the papers bearing
on tne removal :of judge Shaffer, of
the Territory of Utah. That person,
Mr. Pugh said, had been a judge of a
Territorial court and in the provision
conferring the power of suspension on
the President there was an express ex
ception of judges of the United States
lne . question
torial judges
that language.
Vermont kfcew
was whether Terri
were embraced in
I The Senator from
that the question was
now before the judiciary committee. He
knew that a great Senator and lawyer
from New Yrk (Mr. Evarts) was a
member of the sub-enmmittpp with &
splendid lawye Jackson, from Tennes
see, and that after two weeks or more
of consideration they had made no re
port oc the question submitted to them,
of the power of the President in vaca
tion to suspend a judge of a Territorial
court. The ; Senator from Vermont
knew the Senator from New York (Mr.
Evarts): had expressed the opinion that
these Territorial judges were not subject
to the power of suspension by the Presi
dent, That was today an open question
before the; very committee of which the
honorable Senator was chairman, with,
the declaration by one of the most . dis
tinguished lawyers that ornamented the
judiciary 1 of the country, declaring
it to . be bis opinion that .- this
power of suspension given the President
in sejtion 1768 of the Revised Statutes,
did not apply - to Territorial judges.
Then why was it that Senator Thurman,
as chairman of the judiciary committee,
sent that order or request to the attorney
general! fie sent it under section 167,
making them subject to removal, but
only by and with the4 ad vice and consent
of the Senate. There was a predicate
for the Order of chairman Thurman upon
the attorney general to send in all in
formation, and papers relating to re
moval; not to i appointment. (Mr.
Pugh here read Section 1767 and con
tinued) Under that section the power
of-:j removal was ; to be exercised
by and with the advice and consent
of the Senate. It was in obedience
to the provision of that section that the
order was sent by chairman Thurman
to the attorney general, calling for
information in reference to the removal
that required the advice and consent of
the Senate just as in a case of ap
pointment. There had been other Presi
dents besides Cleveland who sent mes
sages to the Senate, and he (Mr. Pugh)
would read some Of these messages.
Mr. Pugh read the messages of Presi
dent Andrew Jackson, dated December
12. 1833, and January 13, 1835, assert
ing the co-ordinate power of the Presi
dential office. Mr. Pugh inquired what
was the explanation of the opinions of
the Senator from Vermont? .Where
would the foundations of those opinions
be found; the opinions expressed in
his very remarkable speech of yester
day? The foundation of that opinion
was that this power of removal was not
vested 4 in -the President by the
constitution, either expressly or by
implication, 'but it was a legis
lative power vested alone in Congress,
and that the President had no power
either of; removal or suspension except
such as he derived from an act of Con
gress. That was the precise issue made
in the first Congress under the constitu
tion in 1789.' That was the precise is
sue made by Clay and Calhoun in the
contest with Jackson in 1835. If this
power of removal was a creature of law
and-there was no power to make a law
except by the two houses, then we could
find a predicate for the statement of the
Senator from Vermont,' that either house
of Congress could call for the papers
under that view of the constitution
Under that view 4f the power 'of re
moval the Senator from Vermont Was
fully justified in stating that either
house by virtue ot the power it
possesses over this matter of removal had
a right : to call for this information
Mr. Pugh read from speeches of Mr,
Edmunds during the debate on the tenure
of office bill, to show that Mr. Edmunds
then maintained that removal was a leg
islative act. In that debate, Mr. Pugh
continued, there was no doubt the be
inning of this view entertained by the
enator ; today. He (Pugh) had no
doubt that it was the legal opinion of
that distinguished lawyer (Edmunds)
that under i the law-making power of
Congress this power of removal could
be vested in the House of rlepresenta
tives alone, or the Senate alone, or in
the speaker of the House or the Presi
dent of the Senate alone, or that i could
be vested in the two houses jointly
That it was a pure creature of law and
under absolute control of Congress. Mr
Pugh read from the speeches of Calhoun
and Clay, to show the views entertained
by those publio men. He supported the
view of Mr. Edmunds, that removal,
was a legislative function and under con
trol of Congress. He had Senator Walthall
read for him from the speech of Senator
oprague in tne senate in the debate On
the tenure of office bill. The v careful
statement of the question here involved,
Mr. Pugh said, (which statement was
known to have been written by chief
justice Chase) expressed the conviction
that the only function of the Senate In
cases involved in discussion Was merely
One of assent or dissent, and strongly
controverted the point that i the func-i
tion of removal wasj a legislative one:
He (Pugh) boldly challenged a reply
to that paper as direct authority to sup
port the views of Madison and the view
that was understood to be that of chief
justice Chase, just read., Mf. Pugh
read from a report of the minority opin
ion of the supreme court delivered by
justice Miller in the case of Kil-
bourn vs. Thompson. There was.
he said, in that opinion; a recog
nition of the proposition that when
one co-ordinate department. entrusted
with special powers, called upon.another
co-ordinate branch for information in
gelation to the exercise of power belong
ing exclusively to the other department
it was the duty of the first to inform
the other of the use intended to be made
of information so it might appear to the
department having it in its: possession
whether it was a duty to transmit in
formation in order': to promote the exer
cise of constitutional functions of the
government That was precisely the
question involved; in this case. Now,
he continued, let it be true that this
was not the substantive executive power
vested by the constitution in the Presi
dent alone. Let it. be true that like the
power of appointments the Senate
shared with : the President the
power of removal. Let it. ; be
true that the power of removal was
a legislative power and not an executive
power and that it belonged alone to
Congress under the constitution. Let
all that be true and he would now call
the attention of the Senate to the expe
diency and practicability of such power
being exercised by the Senate. He
read from the report of the minority
bearing on the point, and a portion ; of
ah extract from a message of President
Grant, in 1869, calling attention to the
embarrassment likely to arise from leav
ing on the statute-books the; tenure-of-
office act and asking what faith the Pres
ident could put in the subordinates
forced upon him and how such officials1
would be likely to serve an administra
tion knowing it had no faith in them. The
information Bought of the attorney gen
eral by the resolution of the Senate, he
said, was to enable it (so said the ma
jority report) to decide whether it would
advise and consent to the removal, of
these suspended officers so that if they
did not advise and consent to - the sus
pension or removal of these officers they
might by operation of the tenure-of-office
act go back into their offi
ces when the senate should adjourn.
What was that but exercising power by
the Senate of selecting agents for : the
President to exercise his constitutional
duty ? What was it but compelling him
to take into his; trust and confidence a
man whom he had suspended from office?
Mr. Pugh further read from the , report
of the minority and from the journal pf
Congress extracts from speeches of Sen
ators Morton and Sherman upon : the
proposed repeal of the tenure of Office
act, and from those of Calhoun and Clay
upon the powers of the senate in : the
matter of removals. In conclusion,
Mr. - Pugh Said his object had
been to define tbe character of this con
flict of authority between the President
and the benate and to fortify the view
that had always been taken by the
Democratic party and to fortify it by
authorities, commencing at the first Con
gress and running down to the latest
period. Mr. Cleveland had no fear of
an appeal to the people. He was re
sponsible to them. He supposed the
majority in the senate had no fear of
ppealing to. the people in favor of the
omnipotence of the constitution and the
integrity of President Cleveland's ad
ministration. Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, was recognised
by the chair, but gave way to a motion
to take up an urgent deficiency bill.
The part of this, appropriating $30,000
to pay the expenses of Gen. Grant's
funeral, was agreed to. j An item
of XLSd.UUU for witnesses' and ju
rors fees nearly brought on a new dis
cussion of the issue between j the Presi
dent and the Senate. The bill finally
went over. The Senate adjourned, leav
ing Mr. iidmunds' resolutions the un
finished business for 2 o'clock, Mr.
Wilson, of Iowa, having the floor. -
BOUSl.
Mr. Herbert, of Alabama, from the
committee on naval affairs, reported 1
bill to increase the naval establishment
Committee of the whole. : .
Mr. Pulitzer, of New York, from the
committee on civil service 1 reform, re
ported adversely the Seney bill to repeal
the civil service law.
: Mr. Stone, of Missouri. ; asked that
the bill be placed upon the calendar and
that he have leave to hie a minority re
port. So ordered.'
At the expiration of the morning hour
the House resumed, in committee of the
wJhole, the discussion of the Indian ap
prooriation bill, which lasted until
o'clock, when with the Indian bill stil
pending, the House adjourned.

St. Louis. Mo , March'lO. The Mis
souri Pacific railroad todky issued the
following circular to the strikers : "You
are hereby .notified that your action in
withdrawing from the employment of
tho. Missouri Pacific railway company
was a voluntary abandonment of the
service of the company and that you are
no longer in its employment, and - that
your names have been stricken from the
rolls. '. All such who are now about the
company's premises are hereby notified
that they must at once leave the same,
to tbe end that this company - may re
sume its traffic. (Signed) Wm. Kerri
gan, general superintendent."
This order includes the delegation of
men appointed by the Knights of Labor
to guard the company's property.' AI
though the officials will make no state
ment concerning the affair, it is gener
ally believed that they are now employ
ing new men to take the place of the
strikers and that a movement of freight
wilj be attempted tonight. Should this
prove true, the Knights of Labor will
undoubtedly offer resistance.
