Hickory, Sortti Carolina.
Extract Frm Speech by Hon. E. J. Mill, of
Connecticut.
The House having under considera
tion the bill to repeal Sec. CI of the
Wilson Bill admitting alcohol used in
thaaris free of duty Mr. Hill said
among other things:
This proposed legislation is in utter
violation of every Republican princi
ple, and, however strongly urged by a
bankrupt Democratic administration,
snould be opposed by every Republi
can here, as it has already been by
nearly every one in the senate. Ap
plause on the Republican side.
This is not a question of individual
members of Congress being affected by
the action of the House, though in the
aggregate, perhaps, that is more im
portant than the geographical loca
tion of a Presidential nominee. It is
simply and solely a question of the
principles of taxation. If the Repub
lican party is right in its teachings, its
members here cawnot vote for the un
conditional reeal of section 01 If
free trade is the best policy, this i a
firm in that direction, and a long
step in advance of even the English
system. As for me, I am ready to tax
alcohol when used for drinking purpo
ses, as I would wine or any other .lux
ury, but I can see no more reason for
taxing alcohol when used purely for
manufacturing and the arts than for
putting 700 per cent tax on the grain
from which it is made, or on pig iron,
lepther, wood, or any other domestic
product. Rather than reverse the
principle involved in section CI, I
would vote to abolish the entire inter
nal revenue system, with its spies and
detectives and the infamous brood of
parasites that have fastened them
selves upon our courts because of it,
and by so abolishing it take the Gov
ernment out of the rum business and
'dissolve forever its unholy partnership
with the whisky trust. Loud Ap
plause. -
"Wood alcohol, the poisonous pro
duct of the wild woodlands of he
country, is distilled and put upon the
market free of tax, while the corn of
the South and wheat and rve of the
west, the laborious products of hon
est toil, are punished by putting upon
grain alcohol the largest tax known to
our laws.
ilr. Chairman, the House will soon
adjourn and its members will engage
in the discussion of the issues of a na
tional election. One of the two domi
nant, overshadowing questions will be
again, as it was in 1894, protection or
free trade. Pass this unconditional
repeal and every Republican speaker's
mouth is stopped and every argument
gone,- for deeds speak louder than
words and recorded votes outweigh
fair promises. I vote for free Ameri
can alcohol in the industrial arts and
sciences and for giving it at least an
equal chance with the foreign pro
duct.
Wlure is the Republican that can
.dispute the justice of that vote?
Where is the Republican that can ex
piaiu to his constituents a vote for the
exact reverse of this? On the one side
U a free trade-President, a' Democratic
Senate, and a minority of this House;
on the other the disheartened and dis
cou raged industries of this country,
and joined with them the thousands
of men and women who are only ask
ing the poor privi ledge of an equal op
portunity to compate on' equal terms
with the labor of other lands. On
which side will this great Republican
majority be found? "
Mr. Chairman, no man can hold in
- higher esteem than I do the distin
guiheil gentlemen who compose the
Ways and Means Committee of this
Republican House. - Charged with
the grave resionsibility. of providing
revenue for the maintenance of the
Government, at the same time they
-must guard with jealous care the wel-
fare of that magnificent system of
manufactures which under RepubTi-
ccc protection'has made the United
States the leading industrial nation of
the world. To the one solitary, lone
ly representative of those interests up
on that committee my colleague Mr.
Russell, of Connecticut who through
.all this session has stood for right and
Justice in the consideration of this bill
I have only words of hope ana cour
je. To the six lawyers upon that
committee who represented the Demo
cratic party I ' extend my congratula
tions bpon the ability and skill by
which they have in this report, won a
strong endorsement for the underlying
principles of the Wilson bill, for
which they are responsible. To the
ten remaining lawyers who make up
balance of the Republican com
mittee I have this to say: If the un
conditional repeal of section CI is a
foretaste of what you have in store for
the industries of this land when the
Republican host shall have marched
again to a hard won victory in No
vember next, see to it that you write
it clear and large upon the party plat
form at St. Lonis ou June 1G that
high internal , revenue and low cus
toms duties will be the guiding prin
ciple of the next campaign, foran hon
est declaration is better far than any
false pretense. But if you would have
us uht again the battle which we
fought and won in 1804, send back
this bill to the Democratic administra
tion from which it came, or better
still, amend it to an enforcement on
protection- lines, -and frt-ui each so
cial led doubtful State every Republi
can nominee, from governor down to
sheriff, will once more give to you a
true Republican greeting, as they do
now. Prolonged applause.

A Child's Caprice.
A bridge which the Sultan ordered
to be constructed in Constantinople
was to have been finished by a partic
ular day, but the contractor found
that this would be impossible with
Turkish workmen, unless he worked
day and night. This he obtained leave
to do, and the necessary light and
torches were supplied at the Sultans
expense.
All went well for a time, until the
unfortunate contractor was told that
he must open the bridge to let a ship
from the dock -yard pass through
some time before the bridge was fin
ished, i
He said j it was impossible,, as he
would have to pull everything down,
and it would take two or three months
to replace ttie scaffolding and pile
driving machines. But the Ministers
of Marine aud Finance said: "IL the
Sultan says it must be done, it must,
or we shall lose our place, if not our
heads." j
So the ship came out at a cost of a
little over f500,000 aud a delay of
three mouths of the bridge, all because
the Sultan found his small boy cry
ing in the harem one day, the child's
grief being that, though he had been
promised to be an Admiral, he could
not see his flag hoisted on this partic
ular ship from the nursery window.
So a large ironclad was brought out
from the dockyard and moorod in
front of the palace, to gratify his in-
fanjt mind, thus causing enormous in
convenience to the town for months,
of which the Sultan paid very little,
and for the loss of of which, I imagine
he cared still less.
The man with a weight on his leg
can't hope to win in the race. A man
with a weight on his health can't ex
pect to compete in life and business
with those who are not handicapped.
If his brain is heavy, and his blood
sluggish, because of constipation, he
will not succeed in doing anything
very well. Constipation is the cause
of nine-tenths of all sickness. Symp
toms oi it are shallowness, listlessness,
poor appetite, bad taste in the mouth.
dizziness, biliousness, and lassitiide.
Constipation can be cured easily and
certainly by the use of Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They are not at all
violent in their action, and vet they
are more certain than many medicines
wnich are so strong that they put the
system all out of order. The srreat
advantage of the "Pleasant Pellets" is
that they cure permanently.

ENDLESS CHAIN RACKET.
Mow a. Sedalian Might Have Raised $170,000,
000,000,000 at Ten Cents a Subscription.
Sedalia, Mo., May 25. A sensation
of large proportions was created here
this morning by the publication of the
following Associated Press dispatch
from Washington:
'Postmaster General Wilson has
denied the privileges of the mail to E.
C. Mason, of Sedalia, Mo., who com
inenced a chain system of letters ask
ing subscriptions for a preacher in
need, and who, it is charged, kept the
the uioney received.''
E. C. Mason is one of the most "prom
inent young business men in this city,
holding the important position of
superintendent of agencies for the
Midland Savings and Loan Company,
and Supreme Scribe of the Royal Tribe
of Joseph, and the charge that he was
engineering an unlawful scheme startl
ed his friends and associates.
Mason frankly admits that he start
ed a chain system 06 a large scale for
the benefit of an aged and worthy
clergyman, but declined to.make pub
lie the name of the proposed benefici
ary. He sent out on May 7, a batch
of 9,500 letters, asking each person ad
dressed to send him a dime and to start
a chain by writing to three personal
friends, and so on. The scheme, if it
had worked successfully, each one re
sponding, in the course of time, wauld
bring in the sum of one hundred and
seventy trillion dollars.
Post Office Inspector Johnson called
upon Mr. Mason a few days ago and
when his report was received in Wash
ington the "fraud" order Was issued.
The intended beneficiary, it is learned
from reliable authority, is General Van
Patten, a local Methodist minister;
who resides in the southern part of
this State, who is a step brother-in-law
of Mason, and is in poor circum
stances. In order to assue the per
sons to whom the appeal was sent that
the project was a worthy one, the
names of Rev. P. A. Cool, pastor of
the First M. E. Church,' and Judge J.
N. Dalby, president of the Third Na
tional Bank, were given as references.
Judge Dalby says he was not consult
ed in the matter and did not know
anything about the scheme until sev
eral days after the letter had been
mailed. The receipts had just com
menced to pour in, $5 in dimes having
been received up to the time Mr.- Ma
son's letters were stopped.
"I have never had a day's sickness
in my life,1 said a middle-aged man
the other day.
"What a comfort it Avould be,1 sighs
some poor invalid, "to be in his place
for a vear or two. ' let hair of the
invalids we see might be just as heal

er food and digest it.
It's so strange that such simple
thinsrs are overlooked by those who
want health. - '

Serum For Diphtheria.
At the Am Urban Hospital, in Ber
lin, 411 diptheria patients were treated
in 1894-05, 255 of whom were discharged
cured. Of 245 treated, with serum, 28
per cent died, while 'among the 146
who were treated otherwise the mor
tality was 42 per cent; 53:2 of the. se
rum cases were serious, 23.7 severe,
and the rest slight. No evil effects
were observed to follow the use of the
serum, and its effectiveness was pro
portionate to the erlines of its ap
plication and the strength of the first
doses. The hospital authorities infer
from this that it is not an infallible,
but a highly valuable remedy.
