The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1886-07-08

Mr.. Holman thought the gentlemen
could not indulge In style Of Oratotk
that was quite so mean and cheap.
Mr.. Randall presented In greater n T.
all the Items In the deficiency for the
last fiscal year ending yesterday In
order to show that Of the $13,500,0O0
only $2.270,0 900 was what might be call
cd the usual deficiency. For the year
following the last session Of the Forty
seventh Congress In which the Republl-
cans had control, 1t was necessary to
make a deficiency appropriation Of
$8,721 600, The gentleman from Penn
sylvRnia, (Mr. Bayne). had seen fit to
repeat language used In another cham
Der. He only wished to say in answer
that there was not sclntilla Of war
rant or justification for the criticism,
whether 1t was applied TO any commit
tee Of the House or to the body of the
House on the Democratic side. [Ap-
plause on the Democratic side. He
thought that that was clean-0u reply
and he need not say another word.
Mr.. Reed, Of Maine, remarked that the
other side had, with sounding phrases,
made a pretense Of economy all along
the lihe, while the gentleman from
Pennsylvania (Mr. RsndalD knew that
pretense consisted In making lower ap.
prOpriatiOns than the public service re-
quired, and demanding that the Senate
should stand up In defence Of the
Government. The gentleman had said
that his iron was going to control the
Democratic party.
Mr.. Randall did not say that; said
the iron Of this side of the House.
"0h," replied Mr.. Reed, Everybody
knows that yours is the only iron will
there Is there Qsughter); aud gentlemen
are smarting under 1t too much not to
know that such Is the fact. What other
iron will could have fOisted on this
House, year after year, without expla-
nation or argument, such arrangements
az we have had that have been called
appropriation bills?"
Mr.. Randall, acting under instTuc-
tiOns from the Committee Oh ApprOpria-
tiOna, offered an amendment apprOpri.
ating $4,000 to meet the expenses of
the Inauguration of the statue of Lib
erty EnlighteniDg the World.
Mr.. Hewitt, of New York, offered SUBJ
stitute appropriatiRg $lO6,l00 for that
purpose.
Mr.. Bland. of Missouri, raised a point
of order against both propositions.
Mr.. Hewitt argued against the point,
and coming down to the merits of the
proposition, he said that the time had
come when the unparalleled evidence Of
the sympathy and good will of a sister
republic was to be inaugurated by the
President Of the United States IL the
presence Of the donors and the civilized
globe, which would look on the mOnu-
ment as one of the grandest achieve
ments OF art. and as q proof that free
people retained for each other q feeling
of regard and sympathy higher than all
mercenaIy considerations of trade and
commerce. 1t was a tribute from the
heart Of the French people to the heart
Of the American people. Mr.. Bland Op-
posed the amendment, and Messrs. Bel
mont, Hammond and Springer supported
1t. The point of order was Overruled.
Finally Mr.. Hewitt's substitute,
slightly modified, was agreed to, 116 to
40, The committee then rose and re.
ported the bill to the House.
The amendments were agreed to In >
bulk except those relating TO small
greenbacks and small silver certificates,
which were agreed to without divis-
ion, and the BarthOldi statue amend
ment, which was rejected-yeas, 1903;
nays, 106. The bill was then passed and
the House adjourned.
