Mr.. Kelly concluded as follows: If, instead
of trying to promote political agitation on
both sides, We will turn to the condition of
the country, study the great lessons which
France, Italy, Germany and England ex-
pose to our view, strive I'd reanimate the in
dustries of the country, to enable capital to
be invested in productive pursuits, to give
~ LABOR TO THE PEOPLE,
Then we shall be able to reduce that debt,
the existence of which, by Offering better
terms than private enterprise can, elsewhere
earn, is absorbing, and placing in the vaults
of the treasury what should be the life blood
of trade and production. If we do SO we
will give content to the people, and will en-
able them to reduce that debt out of their
suplus profits as rapidly as they did before
Hugh Mccullough began his internal work
of retiring legal tender money, and driving
the enterprise of the country to the banks
for accommodation at unholy interest.
REPRESENTATIVE CARLISLE.
Mr.. Carlisle said during the domination
of the Republican party in the House it had
been constant practice to incorporate
legislation in the appropriation bills, and
part of the very law by which the Iowa
members now held their seats on this floor
had been passed in the sundry civil appro-
priation bill approved June 1Othp 1872. It
was admitted that the right was established,
and existed, to place legislation on appro-
priation bills. but gentlemen on the other
side claim that right ought not to be exer-
cised in this particular instance, because it
was known, or presumed, that the legislation
proposed would not meet the approval of
the executive. It seemed to him those gem
tlemen were in
FAR WORSE POSITION
before the country than if they had taken
bold and manly ground, that all preoedents
establish ed by themselves were bad, tlat the
right to place riders on appropriation bills
did not exist. To say that the practice had
been established and now existed, but that
it ought not to be exercised, because the
President might not approve of the legisla-
ton incorporated in bill was to say that
the President was master of the representa-
tives of the people and that Congress was
to abandon an Admirable, justifable prac-
tice and surrender right at the dictation of
the executive. One gentleman, .(alluding to
Mr.. Frye, of MaineD had been honest
enough to declare on the floor amidst the
applause of his political friends,
that Congress should not repeal
these election laws until in some manner the
present executive had been removed from
Office. That presented a square issue from
which his side of the House could not shrink
without dishonoring themselves and degrad-
ing their constituents. If there had pre-
viously been doubt as to the propriety of
their course, that declaration, with the en-
dorsement of the party of the executive on
the flooor, ought to have dissjpated it, and
it had dissipated it. He believed that to-
day the
DEMOCRATS STOOD AS THOROUGHLY UNITED
in their determination to assert the suprem-
acy of the popular will under the constitu-
ton, and to redress popular grievances by
lawful means, as any body of men had ever
stood since the first struggle for free govern
ment and individual liberty. In regard to
| the repeal of the election laws there was no
sectional question involved. 1t ought not to
be even party question. 1t was question
of vital importance to every friend of con-
stitutioual liberty, and every lover of free
government in the land. 1t was question
affecting the North more than the South. Out
of sixty nine cities to which this law applied
only fourteen were in the South. He longed
to see the time come when the patriotism OF
public men and fraternal feeling of the peo-
pie would be broad enough to acknowledge
but one border, the
| LIMITS OF THEIR BROAD UNION. .
Mr.. Frye briefly denied the statement
made by Mr.. Carlisle, saying that he would
speak upon the subject more at length if he
could obtain an opportunity.
Mr.. Carlisle, in conclusion, said: sDis.
