WASHINGTON CITY, June 1l.-During the
tariff debate In the house Saturday Lind OF
Minnesota, who is n supporter of the Mills
bill, objected to the removal of the duty on
linseed, and Bland said he was in favor of a
reduction on everything. Mills said his earn
est sympathes were with downtrodden Ire
land
Funston Of Kansas Under free trade
England.
Mills replied that it was under the merci-
less carpetbaggers Of England. He would
be unwilling TO help even Ireland at the ex
pense of his countrymen, but in this case he
would help Ireland, and at the same time
help his own people, When we took the pro
ducts of lreand's labor we helped her just
much as we helped ourselves; monopolies
were the enemies of cur people, and not the
hishmen here or in Ireland
Raynor of Maryland charged the Repub
lican party with being friendly to combina
tions and the capital that composed them.
He defed the Republican party to put in its
platform, as the Democratic party had,
plank cOndemning combinations which
were drawing the life blood of the
country Not a man on the Other
side would have the moral courage to
oppose the trusts which were sending Repub
licans TO the house in the interest of manu-
fucturers against the laborng men.
Reed of Maine said it was not the first time
he had seen the members on the other side in
"a state of compton. Laughter He had
heard gentlemen in great state of exalta.
n. a
pires of Wall street, and he bad lived to see
Democratic administration put SGO, DOC
Of the peoples money into the Golfers of ma.
tional banks. The gentleman from Mary
land and his compeers would tear everything
to pieces because dozen persons were going
to crush out the citizens of the United States
These gentlemen were like the tame bear
who, seeing a fly on his sleeping masters
face, determined to destroy it. He took a
huge paving stone and destroyed his friend.
The other side proposed to destroy the trusts
by destroying the industries 1t was about
time congress talked sense it was not worth
while everlastingly to lie to the community.
Cannon of Illinois declared that every one
of the existing trusts had grown up under
the administration of Grover Cleveland.
He had heard no proposition from the Demo
Gratis to restrict the cotton seed oil trust, the
whisky trust, the sugar trust, the anthracite
trust and greater than all the transportation
trust Scott, representing the administration,
had hurried TO st. Louis to get in the platform
a declaration against trusts. His record
showed that he was the greatest railroad
king in the land " lille lie thundered
against trusts they still lived
Dockery of Missouri quoted from Butter
worths speech to show that he varied from
Reeds position on trusts. lie said that Bayne |
of Pennsylvania had interpreted the party's |
position when he said ave do not want any
tariff revision until after the election.of 1888.
Butterworth said that there was but little |
difference between himself and Reed upon /
the necessity of preventing the unlawful ex |
ercise of syndicate power; but Reed believed |
that it could be done by loud scoldng.
