Aurora, but refused to speak or recog-

demands judgment in the sum of $500
and for all other proper relief in the

MR., WILSON CORNERED.

MR. WILSON CORNERED'
Mr.. Wilson-They are not as high as
they would be il we had the protection
of-[Applausel.
Mr.. Boutelle-I want a candid reply,
or / want to have the gentleman retreat
ANONYMOUSLY from the question. y
Mr.. Wilson, cannot yield for a
speech; but accept the gentleman as a
full explanation why man in Maine is
worth only twO.thirds OF man in Con.
necticut. Laughter and applause.
Mr.. Boutelle, reiterated his question,
but Mr.. Wilson declined to answer it
and continued hisspech. In conclusion
he said this fight will 60 on. There will
be no industrial peace in the country
until the tax laws are established upon
a basis fair to all. [Applause.l We
will keep this country rocking from
ocean to ocean until we secure justice
and fair dealings among all. You may
strike down that tribute Of the people ut
the other end Of the avenue who, put
ting aside all ideas OF prudence, spoke
out that ringing summons that
rallied the people as nothing else
ever did. You may strike down
the leaders OF the fight as
you struck them down on the last
Congress and the previous Congress.
Those who hold the standard may fall,
but other hands will take itup and move
forward. The spirit OF our intelligence
is behind us. The spirit Of liberty is
behind us. All we Gun hope for, the
destiny and greatness OF this country
urges us forward; and in the language OF
our speaker: "Whoever may ialtcr,
whoever may fail, the people of the
country mean that its glorious destinies
shall be preserved, that they will be
transmitted unimpaired to posterity,
that the country shall not belong to
monopolists, on the one hand, and to
communists on the other, but shall be
as it was designed to be, "Of the people
for the people and by the people"
As Mr.. Wilson concluded he was
rapturously appIaudcd by his party
friends while many Republicans joined
in the compliment, and amid cries OF
"vote" members crowded around Mr..
Wilson and warmly congratulated him
upon his speech.
Mr.. Dingley, Of Maine, spoke against
the bill, and Mr. Mckinney, OF New
Hampshire, in its favor. The commit
tee then arose and the House adjourned.
