THE TAKIFF HEIJATE.
The tfoiH-ral discussion of the
Tariil' bill in the House of Iiepre
si'iitalives has developed the usual
amount of acrimony ami partisan
debate. The brilliant opening
made by Mr. Wilson on one side
ami Mr. liurrows on the other
quickly degenerated into regulation
speech-making, and the discussion
is proceeding in the most common
place, not to say trivial manner.
It is likely that much valuable
time will be consumed in this way.
Members of the House of Repre
sentatives, like other mortals, are
tilled with vanity, and each one of
them feels called upon to make a
speech on great public questions,
and the result is that the period of
talk is often extended beyond all
reason.
In the case of the taritl bill noth
ing is to be gained by a long period
of wrangling over what one admin
istration or one party may have
done over another. No one is be
in; convinced by the set speeches
made during the past few days.
Some of the speakers present inter
esting arrays of statistics and their
arguments are more or less logical
ami conclusive. Hut those who are
opposed to the Wilson Tariil' bill
are in that state of mind upon
principle, and no amount of speech
making upon the floor of the House
is going to change their opinion.
On the other hand, those who favor
the bill favor it on principle, and
the speeches will neither convince
them that they are wrong nor in
duce them to vote otherwise than
they have already determined up
on. A long period of talk, also, on
the Tariil' bill does little toward en
lightening the people of America.
Now and then a speech is made of
more than ordinary eloquence which
attracts attention, but the majority
of them are not eagerly read or
thoroughly studied, and the im
pression is growing in the minds of
thoughtful observers that too much
talk does no good even in Con
gress. It is well that the Wilson Taritl'
bill should be discussed on both
sides. There are citizens of the
Republic who earnestly desire to
have its principles enunciated and
their logical conclusiveness proved
or disproved, as the case may be,
but the wrangling and vituperation
which has marked the progress of
the discussion for the last few days
are neither dignified nor useful in
arriving at a conclusion as to the
utility of the proposed law.
THE FINANCIAL FR0I5LEM.
Secretary Carlisle has asked Con
gress to take the initiative and or
der the issue of sufficient bonds to
relieve the United States Treasury.
His recently published report gave
notice that a crisis in Treasury af
fairs was impending, and the coun
try is now face toiace with the
fact that money is needed during
the next 20 days, and needed very
badly.
Careful financier that he is, Sec
retary Carlisle would much rather
that Congress would clothe him
with special power to act rather
than force him to resort to some
extraordinary expedient for temporal-'
use. In his letter to the
chairman of the Senate Finance
committee Mr. Carlisle., simply
states the urgent facts and laconic
ally adds that unless Congress acts
he will be "obliged to do some
thing. ,"
AVliat that "'something"' is the
secretary does not state, as there
are several things which he might
do. lint all the possibilities within
the discretion of the officials of the
Treasury could not meet the issue
squarely. Revenues have fallen elf
amazingly, unprecedented demands
are resting upon the Treasury, and
the only permanent way out of the
crisis is to issue bonds, increase the
national debt and wait for better
times to clear up the financial diffi
cultv into which the nation has
fallen.
Lnder the circumstances Con
gress should act promptly and
wisely to relieve the situation, and
to bring back the period of pros
perity which is too long delayed.
We would advise our esteemed
contemporary, the Richmond Dis
patch, to provide itself
with
National Capital Matters.
From our Uvular Correspondent.
Washington', D. C, Jan. V., 18! tJ
President Cleveland lias just given
a practical demonstration of his earn
estness in turning tlie settlement of
the Hawaiian complication over to
Congress, by putting the official dis
patches just received from Minister
Willis at its disposal. No one in
Washington seriously believes that
any danger is to be apprehended
from the reported probability of
British marines being landed at Hon
olulu. It is well known to the Brit
ish government that the United
States will not tolerate any interfer
ence by any foreign government with
Hawaii.
The Democrats of the House have
much more than held their own in
the tariff debate this week, although
some of their best posted men have
purposely made no speeches in favor
of the Wilson bill. With the excep
tion of Representative Tom Johnson,
of Ohio, who opposes the bill because
it retains too much protection and
who favors free trade without any
if's and's or but's, no Democrat has
spoken against the underlying prin
ciple of the bill, even Representative
Haines, of New York, who repre
sents the Troy district and who has
been quoted as being strongly op
posed to the bill, admitted in his
speech that he would vote for it if
the schedule affecting the industries
of Tror was amended to meet his
wishes. Next week he and others
will have an opportunity to offer any
amendment they may desire and the
House will decide whether they shall
be adopted or rejected. It is not
thought probable by any member
with whom I have conversed that
any material amendment will be
adopted before the bill is passed by
the House on the 20th of January. It
is in the Senate that the friends of the
measure fear it will be amended al
most beyond recognition. Washing
ton is now full of parties interested
in having the bill amended and they
are all basing their hopes of success
on the Senate and not on the House.
The Senate Finance committee will
begin to give hearings to those in
terested as soon as the bill passes
the House.
The Republican leaders of the
House were very cleverly taught a
little lesson by the Democrats this
week which would convince men with
less conceit that Reed, Burrows &
Co., have not secured a corner in
parliamentary knowledge. It was
the intention of the aforesaid Repub
lican leaders to get at least two days
debate out of the questions of the
power of the House to have members
arrested, and of the right of mem
bers to vote while under arrest.
when the motion for the discharge of
the arrested members came up. This
waste of time that properly belonged
to the consideration of the tariff bill
was not countenanced by the Demo
crats who easily defeated it by hav
ing the Sergeant-at-Arms make his
report at a time when the Republic
an leaders were off their guard. It
did not take a moment for Represen
tative Catchings to ask unanimous
consent for the discharge from cus
tody of the arrested members and
for Speaker Crisp to declare them
discharged, there being no objection.
By that time the know-it-all Repub
licans had discovered what was going
on, but it was too late.
Senator McPherson, of New Jer
sey, who has been widely advertised
by Republican papers as a tariff
'kicker,'' has been compelled by a
troublesome throat affection to take
a trip to Florida in search of relief,
but before going he addressed a let
ter to Senator Voorhees which ef
fectually disposes of any doubt as to
his position towards tariff reform.
He says in that letter: ''In order
that you and my other Democratic
colleagues on the committee may
know what to expect from me I here
state that the Democratic side of the
committee on Finance must make
the tariff bill and then every member
of said committee must stand by the
work done. To do otherwise is to
confess that we are not fit to govern.
I write thus plainly, as I see the
newspapers have placed me in the
list of those called obstructionists.
I have not denied the report, as I
never deny anything the newspapers
say of me, but I will always try to
speak for myself when the time
comes."
Secretary Carlisle explained this
week to the members of the Senate
1 inance committee and those of the
House Ways and Means Committee
the immediate necessity for legisla
tion to provide the money to meet
the $50,000,000 deficit now starin
the Treasury in the face. His object
was not to argue in favor of the re
commendations made in his annual
report, but to impress upon the
minds of his hearers the necessity for
action, leaving them entirely free as
to the nature of the legislation and
asking only that it provide the money
to meet payments and preserve the
credit of the government.

We Recommend Quinine-Whiskey
r You know the effects f QUIXLNE? You know the medicinal virtue of WHIS
KEY? Combined they make one of the most powerful remedial agents ami ton
ics that the medical profession can devise. One grain of Quinine is scientifically
combined with each ounce of Whiskey, and in this form is equal to two or three
grains taken in the ordinary way.
IT IS A STIMULANT THAT STIMULATES!
Xot only stimulates, but overcomes the various weakening and wast in if dis
eases of the body. It is pleasant to take: the bitterness of the Quinine is dis
guised.
Quick in its results, its special action gives health and strength to the whole
constitution.
TRY IT. It's a sure cure for Cous, and also for Ack. Chills. Fkveus. and
all Malarial attacks. For convalescence from exhausting diseases it will Ik found
unrivalled.
Positively no substitutes are used in the preparation. Only the In-st and purest
old Kentucky Whiskey and the very !e-;t grade of Quinine is usil. together w ith
