The House went INTO Committee Of the
Whole on the tariff bill, and Mr.. Morrow,
OF California, concluded his speech in oppo.
sition to the bill, emphasizing his objections
to it by the illustration of its probable effect
upon California industrles-lumber, raisins,
and boraX.
Nj. Hooker, OF Mississippi, reviewed at
length the tariff history OF the country, and
denied that the Democratic party had ever
favored protection for the sake Of prOtec-
ton. The gentleman from Pennsylvania
(Randalh, who probably went further than
any other man on the Democratic side ~
support OF high protective tariff, stood COM
mitled as opposed to the doctrine OF pro-
freff,r, % f,rAfarftoufa GaEa THAT tho
doctrine OF the Republican side.
Mr. Kerr, Of lows, inquired whether the
Republicans did not all say that they were In
favor Of so apportioning duties as TO protect
labor.
MIR. Hooker replied that that was their
argument, but denied that they had the
right TO protect labor. The labOrer was nc
mendicant. He was free and independent
American citizen. He only wanted The
Government to take its hand out Of his
pocket and let him enjoy the fruits OF his
labor.
Mir Houk, OF Tennessee, entered and en-
pbasized the solemn protest OF the people he
represented against the wreck OF the material
prosperity which had now just begun tC
dawn upon the new South by the enactment
Of the Presidents message into law. The
| Democratic platform, he said, had had TWO
! ends TO it-a protection end and iree'iraue
end. The gentlemen from Pennsylvania
(Nr. Randal) had ridden on one end OF the
rail while Messrs. Carlisle, Morrison, and The
rest had ridden on the other end. Bat now
they were all going to get on one end OF the
platform and that would make 1t easy sailing
for the Republican party 10 Tennessee. Tue
pending bill would put ont every furnace
close up every marble quarry, ana oeslrOl

MI. Wise, OF Virginia, commented upon
the evil which would be the necessary re-
suit Of a further continuation Of the high
taxation which filed the Treasury with
money drained from the channels OF trace
and commerce. There were two methods Ol
reduction OF taxation commended for one Dy
a reduction OF the tariff duties and tue Other
bv the abolition OF the internal'reVenue Sys'
TEN. The Mills bill was compromise be
tween the two methods. lie DISCUSSED al
length aud condemned the protective system,
and argued thatthe high duties now imposed
we're not required TO compensate Tor the
difference In the cost OF the production OF
similar articles in this country and abroad
on account Of the higher rate OF wages III
vogue i'm the United states.
Mr. Cogswell, OF Massachusetts, corrected
MIR. Woodburn, Of Nevada, who Few DAYS
ago read the name Of Secretary Endicoll
among the American members OF the Cobder
CLUB. Mr.. Cogswell said William Endlcott
Jr.. OF Massachusetts,, was member, Out
secretary Endicott had never been.
MIR. Kennedy, Of Ohio, denounced IN,

qualified that denunciation by declaring thai
