Thompson, OF Kentucky, while advocat-
ing general system of reductio Of taxes,
complained of permitting the bill, because
it took a tax off the wealthy and didn't re-
lieve the poor laborers in the slightest
degree. II was shaped and framed wholly
in the interests of bankers and capitalists.
The other things were put in merely
as make-shift to carry it through. Af,er
declaration of his opposition TO reducing
taxes upon the luxuries OF life, he passed
to the discussion and denunciation of the
existing tariff laws. Thompson spoke
Tor over an hour and elected
good deal OF laughter by
his criticisms OF the civil service of the re-
publican party. In conclusion he said that
whatever democrat voted for the bill, voted
against the interest Of the people and
might as well subscribe himself a republi-
can from this time on.

The amendments offered affect every pro-
vision in the bill, either as an amendment
