WASHINGTON, September 2G, 1893
Sennte.
The bill reported 10y Mr.. Hoar on The
9th OF February last "to provide for
inquests under national authority" was
taken up.
Mr. George proceeded to address the
Senate on the subject.
At the close OF Mr.. Georges speech
the hill went over without action. There
were not more than half dozen Ropub-
can senators in the chamber during the
two and half hours that the speech oc-
cupied, and Mr.. Dawes asked the Senator
from Mississippi to note the fact that
MIR. Hoar was not present.
Mr.. Daniel then proceeded to address
the Senate on the resolution to refer tho
Presidents annual message. He de-
clared that the issue before the people in
this presidential campaign WAS not an *
sue between free trade and protection :;
It was not an issue raised against the
manufacturing interests of the country.
1t was simply an issue proponnded TO the
people through three Democratic spokes-
men for the release Of an unneeded sur
plus in the Treasury now amounting to
500, Oo0,0 600 for the relief OF the tax
PAYERS from excessive and unnecessary
taxation; for the removal of in
cumbrances TO manufactures by the
furnishing Of cheaper raw ma
terials; for the removal of restric-
tions to commerce and navigation {;
for the rescue OF agriculture, now in a
decline, and for the unbinding OF the
cords which tied the hands Of labor. In
fine, it was an issue for and in behalf Of
labor in many fields of enterprise, and
against monopoly by over-taxaton in
many branches Of trade In conclusion
be said that the Democracy had written
on its banners: " Unnecessary taxation
is unjust taxation s" and i'll that sign it
would conquer or fall.
