Mr.. Hammond made a speech ridiculing

In the list of these products

Mr.. Dunnell, member of the ways and
means committee, expressed his surprise
at the undated interest in the pending
bill, in the light OF; the fact that here was no
earthly hope of its passage. Members
had been debating the provision of the
bill and at the same time admitted here
and elsewhere it was not to be passed.
Mr.. Mckinley deny that so far as

Mr.. Dunnell-The next few days will
verify the truth of my statements. Re-
ferring to his appointment on the tariff
committee, he said he had opposed his ap-
pointment, because he saw just what was

with one-third of an enormous bill passed
over, everybody was pressed with the con-
viction that the bill could never pass. It
was utterly beyond his ex-
pectations, as most sanguine
supporter, that the bill would pass. The
house had been deluding itself, deluding
the country and unsettling the great bust
ness interests of the country with the
secret fiat gone forth and cherished that
