WASHINGTON. D. O., May 26.-Aitsr
some parliamentary skirmishing, the
House went into Committee Of the Whole
(Mr, Springer, Of Illinois, in the chair on
the olsomargariue bill, all general debate
upon the measure being closed. Mr.,
Brown, OF Indiana, opposed the bill.
Mr.. Kelley, Of Pennsylvania, rsaffrmsd
what he said on the bill yesterday. He
would not attempt to save the iron in
tsrests by playing dsmSgogus or by aban-
dOnlng convictions by which he had sus-
tanned the farmers OF Indiana and Wis.
consin when the entire sugar interest
was here asking Congress to exclude the
sweet thing made from corn. When all
the arguments were made against oleo-
margarine that were made against corn
sugar and Rgainst the permission to grow
and use sorghum he had stood barrier,
and he did not believe the gentleman
from Wisconsin (Mr, PRICE,, who has 80
sharply criticized him In his absence or
the gentleman from Iowa Mr.. Hender-
son) would have supported the bill to re-
quire every pound Of glucose to 90 out in
stamped package. From the day the
farmers from the inVidious taxes on their
productions, and In their interest he was
to-day fighting tnis effort TO add another
Internal burden to those they already
bore. He had been taught by Henry q.
Carey that the tariff that would promote
the resources oI the interior Of the coun.
try was for he benefit ot the farmer; and
no so believed II,

Mr.. Henderson, OF Iowa, reaffirmed
every word spoken by him yesterday. He
would not have spoken them in the alb
Usnce Of the gentleman from Pennsylvania
(Mr. Kelley but for the fact that he had
40 assurance that the taritfquesdon would
come up this session. He had felt that he
had right To CritlCise the gentleman's
speech, and no length Of experience gave
any man q right to gag that right.
Mr.. Kelley-By what parliamentary
uSuSge may a speaker on this floor deal
with motive OF another. His argumentH
are subject to criticism, his motives are
relations between himself and the Al
mighty.
Pennsy lvania were TO say, 'Hende son, l
love YOU, while he slapped me in the
lace with his hand, l could judge bis
motive by his act better than by his
speech. When distinguished law

kind OF taxation on banks, on whisky
or beer, on matches and every form
Of manufactured article, but is ever
ready with all bis eloquence to
vote for another kind ot taxation which
like the dropping Of dew may touch every
home, may have the right to judge his
motives. The gentleman assumes tospeak
