MIR. Corwin's Great Speech
AGAINST THE
COMPROMISE BILL.

COMPROMISE BILL.
Delivered in tho Uaed Senate, Monday, July 81 1913
lRepoHed expressly for the N. Y. Tribune.l
Mr. PRESIDENT: | ehould scarcely undertake
to assign to the Senate reason for proongng
this debate, especially afler the very elaborate
and lucid exposition of the bill now before us
which has been given by the Senator from Yer
mont | feel compelled however, from various
considerations, with which will not trouble the
Senate, to state IN very few words, if that be pos
slblc, what myA objections are to the passage of
the bill /; and, it may he, to offer some few OBJ
serva,ions in reply to such propositions as have
been announced at various times daring this de-
bate, by Senators on the other side OF the Cham
Der. ! have listened with great eagerness, since
the commencement of this discussion, to every
thing that hus been said, with The NEST sincere
and unegucd desire TO make myself acquainted
with at least the primary elements and principles
which cner into the composition of the BILL
Aud think may say, without * posing myself
to the charge OF cgdllsm that feel as little the
influences which have been spoken Of by the
Senator from Vermont as ii is desirable that any
gentleman, acting in the capacity of a legislator
should ieel. do not participate, however may
advertise, gentlemen, ~ the belief which has
been so constantly expressed during this discus
SION, that this is "A subject which is likely to pro-
duce that terrible and momentous excitement
that is spoken Of ! believe If this principle
were discussed solemnly aud so to speak abslrac-
tedly from those eXtraneOus circumstances too
