M. NELSON EXPLAINS.
On being asked for IN explanation Of his
v0te, Mr.. Nelson replied:
s'In the first place am not free trader in
full sense Of the term / believe in reduc-
ton of the tariff, and believe Q majority Of
people IN my district are in favor Of reason
able reduction. The resolution and addresses
Of the farmers convention which lately met in
81 Paul indicated that the sentiment Of the
farmers IL for reduction Of the tarifi, and tho
platform upon which was nominated and
elected was also in favor Of the tariff reform
voted to take mp the Morrison bill
because that was the only way OF
getting the question Of tarin reform before tho
house am not prepared to say that tt is
perfect bill in all respects, nor am prepared
to say ct present that shall vote for It; but
do feel that the people Of the west are entitled
to reasonable and equitable reduction of the
system Of tariff which leaves surplus OF $780,
QUO, GOO in the treasury every year
ssBut it viii be said that tariff reform bill
cannot pass the senate, and what Is the use to
vote to do something that win amount to moth
ing?" was suggested
/ have every reason to believe thatour sena-
tors viii support q proper tariff reform bill
The bill that was passed last spring came from
the senate and not from the house, and feel
that the senate will be equal to the occasion.
Our present high tariff was an incident to our
great war debt and our extensive pension list,
and now that our national debt and expenses
are reduced, and We have . surplus in the
treasury, there is every reason In the world
why taxation should be reduced / would not
vote to strike outth enacting clause Of the BILL
for the reason that it might cut OF a oppor-
tunity to vote for any tarin reduction I think

. dozen Republicans who voted as they did
under protest, because they were persuaded
1t was in the interest of the party to 80 vote.
ssIf the Morrison bill as n is should be sub

you do!"

do not want to decide the case until it is
brought before me to decide. was very sor-
nv the Republican side did not decide upon
some kind Of tariff bill, and eitintroduced,
for should have preferred to vote for meas
ure introduced by the Republicans; but, as no
opportunity of the kind was offered, had but
one alternative and that was to vote to take up
this bill feel that the farmers and producers
Of the west are entitled to some consideration,
