Whoever in this country had a just cause
knew where to find his remedy. Regard
Ing Mr. Van Wyck's questions about the
Knights OF Labor, Mr.. Hawley would not
lie about that organization, nor anything
else, nor would he permit himself to be
He'd about, He believed that the existing
condition Of affairs throughout the civil.
lied world was the result In an enormous
men. Machinery had been dis
placing labor 6y hand and many
hands had been displaced. Stil the la
boring men Of the United States to-day
could buy more now with the product Of
days work than they could twenty
years ago. With all the advantages OF
progress, however, there was cause
enough for the enormous uproar and dis
turbance, the trembling of the whole indus
trial earth, but let us be patient and lust 10
each other. DO not be impatient with
the agitation of the striking labor
ers Wait, God lives yet Out of
all this would come more prosperity for
the laboring men and ulster, more
peaceable and more honorable relation
betNeen capital and labor This was not
to be brought about by machine leglsla-
ton, though legislation might help.
When the capitalist should come to rec
ognize the rights Of labor by advancing
wages when they could he advanced, and
when the men should be willing to have
the wages reduced when the CAPT
talist could not afford TO pay
standing wages then % better
relation would come to prevail between
labor and capital. He (Mr. Hawley)
knew of establishments where for gener-
atoms there had been no trouble between
capital and labor. The increase and re-
duction of wages there were matters OF
mutual and friendly adjustment. Unfor-
tunately sometimes there were not such
capitalists. But could you change hui
man nature by statute? For himself he
would not work sixteen hours a day
for any man with half an hour
for dinner He would strike. He would
organize, but he would not permit the
thieves Of the city of New York to rush
out and destroy the property from which
he got his living. If the sheriff could
not do anything with them with his posse,
he would have the sheriff do what he had
seen the sheriff do before in the city of
New York, call out the Seventh regiment.
You could not deceive the laborers.
Mr.. lIawley warned the laboring
men against their enemies. He warned
them that the very worst enemies they
had con the foot.stooln were those who
indulge in the sort OF remarks we had
heard here to-day.
Mr.. Van Wyck remarked that it had been
said that there was domestic danger in
this country. Had not that danger been
met and passed? Why increase the regu-
lar army to meet a danger that had dis
appeared
Mr. Logan said that it was not true
that Jay Gould had any connection, direct
or indirect, with the measure. 1t was
for the benefit of the people, rich or poor,
black or white.
Mr. Van Wyck, interrupting, said he
had not charged that Jay Gould or any
other man had anything to do with IL.
He had merely told what the resultwould
be.
Mr.. Logan asked why then was his
name used IN connection with the arpu
ment brought from the recent disturb
ances, but to create prejudice against the
advocates of the bill?
vote was then taken upon the motion
Of Senator Hale to strike out section of
the bill. This is the section which estab- !
llshed the future army force az 90 00o /
men. On this motion the yeas were % |
and the nays %. The vote being a tie. |
Mr.. Hale's motion was lost. The Repub |
Leans voting for Mr.. Hale's motion were
Messrs. Bowen, Chace, Conger, Hale. |
ingalls,, Plumb, Sherman, Teller and Van |
Wyck. The Democrats voting against it |
were Messrs. Brown, German, Gray and
With these exceptions the
votes for the motion were Democratic |
md the votes against 1T Republican,.
Mr.. Henderson then moved as nm
amendment his bill heretofore introduced |
aud favorably reported from the military
known as "the three battalion /
1ili,h and it was agreed to. Mr.. Gibson
moved to add an additional section, re-
Dealing section 1918 of the Revised |
Statutes, which now prohibits any person |
who served in the Confederate govern |
nent from appointment To the army of
ne United States. In speaking in favor |
Of his motion Mr.. Gibson said |
that the statute which prohibits |
the men who served the Condolences
from being appointed to the United States
army could only be regarded as bar
sinister, and not IN harmony with the |
spirit which characterized the treatment |
OF the Southern people in other respects |
by the people OF the North.
Mr.. Logan thought it might not be wen /
to go too far. He thought in the ewes of |
the people there were certain persons
more capable than others. Those
were the men who had been
officers of the army and nayv
before the war aud had entered the eerr.
ICE OIL the Coniederacy. He would sug-
sest an amendment TO Mr. Gibsonis mo.
Non SO as to cover that class Of people.
Mr.. Gibson could not accept Che amend
ment. Jay ~
Mr. Morgan said he would never vote
LOT Oil to increase the army whlle a
single man was excluded nniess
was Mr.. Jefferson Davis
aud he meant to exclude him beeanse bs
inew MIR, Davis would not accent That
was Mr.. Morgan's view OF the Question
md he was sorry that any question hed
arisen for its discussion.
Mr.. Gibson's amendment was not

ieoaie the Dlli was put on It's fnal
~ 9ud rejected, yeas 10, nays 81.
