 MR. HAyNE's SPEECH Coatjnaed.
 The Senator from Massachusetts in ,alluding to the Tariff becomes quite ia cetious. lie teils us that she hears of nothing but 7anG, iarif, Idrilff, and fl word could be found '' to rhynse zuith it, he presumes 1t would be celebrated in verse, and set to music" Sir, perhaps the gentleman in nsoekeyy of oa. com. p5oitts may be himself disposed to sing the praises ofthe Tariffin doggrel verse to the tune of < Old Iundred.9 am not at all surprised, however, at the aversion of the gentleman to the very name of Ias8. l doubt not that 1t must always bring up some very un- pleasant recolleetions to his mind. If am not greatly mistaken the Senator from Massachusetts was leading actor at 2 great meeting got up in Boston ill Is29, agai1sSt tte Tarif:: It has gene rally been supposed that he drew up the resolutions adopted by that meeting, deaouncing the Tariff system, as une- qual, oppressive and unjust, and if am not much mistaken denying ats eoasstittt- tionatly. Certain it is, that the gentle man made speech on that occasion in support ofthose resolutions, denouucihg the system in no very measured terms. ] and if my memory serves me, calting Us eonstitutioaality ia question. regret that 1 have not been able to lay nY hands on those proceedings, but 1 have seen them, and cannot be misaken n # their character. At that time, sir, the Z Senator from Massachusetts entertained E the very sentiments in relation to the I Tariff which the South now entertains. E We next ind tae Senator from Massa- chusetts expressing his opinion on the Tariff as memoer of the House of Representative from the city of Boston in 1891. On that occasion, sir, the gen tlenan assumed position which com manded the respect and admiration of his country. He stood forth the pow erful and fearless champion of free tra,te. He met in that conflict the advocates of restriction and monopoly, aad they fled from before his face.' With pro- found sagacity, filllness of knowledge, and a richness of illustration that has never been surpassed, he maintained and established the principles of com mercial freedom on foundation never to be shaken. Great indeed was the victory achieved by the gentleman on that occasion; most striking the contrast between the clear, forcible and conyinc- ing arguments bywhieh he carried away the understandings of his hearers, and the narrow views and wretched sophis- try of another distinguished orator, who may be truly said to have aheld up his farthing candle to the Sun.'' Sir, the Senator from Massachusetts, on that, (the proudcst day of his life,) like a mighty giant bore away upon his should CTS the pillars of the temple of error and tlelusioa, escaping himself uahurt, and leaving his adversaries overwhelmed in its ruins. Then it was that he erected to free trade beautiful aud enduring xnonlment, and sinscri5ed the marble with his name" :" Mir. President, it is with pain aad regret that now go for ward to the next great era in the poli- tical life of that gentleman, when he was found on this floor, supporting, ad- voeatiig, aid finally finally voting for the Ia riffoflS3S-tIlat z billo abomiaations. ,
 By that act, sir, the Senator from Mas sachusatts has destroyed the labors of his whole life, and given 9 wound to the cause of free trade, never to be healed, sSsiir, when recollect the position which that gentleman once occupied and that which he now holds in public estimatioa in relation to this subject, it is not at al
 surprising that the Tariff should be hateful to his ears. Sir, if had erect
 ed to my own fame So proud a monu
 Tnent as that which the gentleman bull
 up in 1921, and ] could have bee
 tempted to destroy it with my owl
 hands, l should hate the voice, tha: should ring "the accursed Tariffa in m, ears. Idoubt not the gentleman feel
 very much in relation to t the Tariff as certain Knight did to "instinct,' ant with him would be disposed to exciain .Ah, 10 more ofthat Hal, an thou lov's me ,. But, Mir. President, to be serious what are we, of the South, to think Q what we have heard this dayf Tn
