BROWNSVILLE TEXAS
CONGRESSMAN
COOPER'S views:
The Tariff Law Will Fail to
Raise Enough Revenue and
in Eighteen Months Bpnds
"Will Have to Be Issued.
Galveston News.
Wooaville Tyler Co. Texas
Ang. 1. Congressman S. B.
Cooper returned home from
Washington yesterday and was
heartily welcomed by his many-
friends here. Th9 News cor
respondent met him this morn-
ing. Among other things he
said:
"The work of the last session
of congress will result in injnry
to the country but in benefit
J to the democratic part'. The
tariff bill passed will prove
more hurtful and vicious than
the 'obnoxious and repudiated
McKinley bill. It will be hurt
ful because the rates of taxa
tion are higher and more in-
jurious!7 discriminating than
in any former bill. The con
sumers will have to pay more
for what they use than hereto-
fore and its inequality is pa-
tent and painfurfrrnie dmiVs
placed upon necessaries and
luxuries. The tax on neces?a-
ries and articles used by the
great mass of people is almost
crdminally high' while tftef:x
aoluxuries is-notproportidn-
j alely rafsed a n&4yfeas on of
the inequality and high pro-
tec ive duties I predict that the
revenue raised by the bill wiil
be less than that raised by the
Wilson bill and in consequence
in less than eighteen months
you may look out for more
bond sales. Thi3 result would
be certain were the treasury not
protected by a surplus of about
8140000000 now in the treas-
ury and put there out of the
proceeds of Mr. Cleveland's
bond sales. The secretary of
rea snr bas been trvj
to impound the greenbacks to
protect thegold reserve but he
will find with the small revenue
brought in by the present bill
that that this can not be done
and the government will again
be at the merry of the rapacity
of the money changers.
"The protective duties are
so high that they will be pro-
hibitive and hence importa
tions will lesservand interna-
tional trade will dwindle. A
very vicious feature of the bill
is its tendency to encourage
and support trusts and com-
bines aud the vice seems to
uave Deen intenaea 07 tue re
publican party because they
persistently and consistently
with their purposes refused to
let the bill be amended so as to
hamper prevent or destro-
trusts."
Congressman Cooper was ask-
ed why there was no currency
legislation passed by congress
and he said:
UA farcical effort was made
in that direction in the'closing

ling that he and his party had
subrogated this paramount
question to the tariff proposed
to cast a sop to the people by
sending in a message asking
authority to appoint a commis-
sion to deal with the currency.
While the house was held up
by the committee on rules and
the minority gagged by the
majority and the bill passed
in theiiouse' still no one not
even the president expected it
to become a law. The idea is
un-American and the law would
be inneifective. The people yet
believe themselves capable of
self government in wisely selecr-
ing representatives to legislate
for them and they will not ab-
dicate their power or relegate
to commissioners appointed h-y
their agents the duties and
power intrusted to their rep-
resentatives. We have seen and
had enough of commissions.
We had one affecting the pres
idential office the ntench of
which rose to heaven."
"What is the future outlook
for the 'democratic party?"

not pardon treachery and rob-
bery. The republican party has
been treacherous to the voice
and command of its supporters
at the last election and has
passed a law that will rob them
of thn product of their toil for
the benefit of a few and will
therefore justly receive the
sigual condemnation of the peo-
ple at their first opportunity."
Mr. Cooper's friends feel that
no representative for years has
done as much for this district
as he has done.
JAPANESE GETTING
THEIR MONEY.
Drew 250000 From the Bank
Of England Yesterday.
New York July 31 The
Evening Post's London corres-
pondent telegraphs the follow
iug to-day: Two hundred and
fifty thousand pounds in Japan
ese money was released from
the Bank of England today.
This neutralizes any effect of
the extra demand for money at
the end of this month. It is un
derstood that the first portion
of the Japanese bonds recently
issued here have just been ship-
ped from Japau " to London.
Coming thus in installments
it looks as thougli the four mil-
lions ordered may be removed
gradually from the bank and
not suddenly bur I can not saj'
definitely.
The Austrian demand for
gold is still strong All arrivals
of sovereigns for nest Tuesday
from Australia have already
been bought no.
The United States Alaska
gold company with a"n autho-
rized capitaL of $1000006 has
been incorporated in New Jer-
sey It is formed for the pur-
pose of mining gold ill the
Klondike fields.

attack. They were well armed
with dynamife rapid firegnns
and met with but slight resist-
ance The engagement was
short and desperate. Forty-nine
Spaniards were killed and 120
wounded; two Cuban weVe kill-
ed and forty wounded. The in-
habitants of the town fled for
their lives leaving the insur
gents in complete possession.
They stayed in the place and
secured $40000 in gold besides
a large quantity of snpplies that
they could store away.
Other passengers tell about
the same story of the affair.
Senor Calbarjer says the
wildest terror reigns in Havr a
and that the well-to-do inhabi-
tants are leaving as fast as local
law3 will permit.
