mended to his consideration the patriotic
course OF ]. M. Dallas, who was the pre-
siding officer of the Senate when the Walker
tariff bill came to final vote. His State,
then, as now, regarded protection as of para
mount importance TO local interests but
he was not mere local politician looking for
a scat in Congress. He was a statesman of
broad views. When he found that the voice
OF the majority was In favor OF revision OF
the tariff, he surrendered his local prejudices
and local considerations and gave his vote to
his party and his country. BY his act on
the occasion he set an example worthy of
imitation by all Democrats similarly situated
today.
Mr. Kean, of New York, spoke against
the bill. He characterized it MS a sacrifice
of the industries of the country to the inter
est of President Cleveland.
Mr.. Allen, of Mississippi, referring TO
some remarks made by Mr.. Foran, of Ohio,
concerning the south, said he wondered
where the gentleman learned all he knew
about the south. II the gentleman knew no
more about the doctrines OF protection and
free trade than he did about the south he
never ought to speak about the tariff.
Mr.. Foran suggested that he learned some
thing about the south In 1864.
Mr.. Allen said that the gentleman said
that he was Democrat, but that the Re-
tariff system which, he said, had made bet
ter men and more of them than any other
system. II the gentleman thought that that
system made better men and more OF them
than any other system, and II he had CON
tracted the prejudices of 1864 aud had not
recovered from them, in the name OF com
mon sense how did the gentleman get TO be
a Democrat II seemed to him (Allen) that
the gentleman ought TO belong TO that party
t.1 .t.l.
made better men and more of them. Pass
ing ON TO the consideration Of the bill, he
advocated Its provisions and attacked the
protective system. Referring 10 q remark
| by Mr.. Morrow. OF California, that the re-
cent failure of VIM. T. Coleman & Co. was
attributable 10 the fact that the Mills bill
and the borax on the free list, he said that
firm was n combination TO raise the price Of
borax from TO "a cents pound,
Mr. Morrow suggested that before the
native article of borax was produced the
| price had never been below d cents n pound
Mr. Allen hoped that the Mills bill would
treat every other trust In the same way. II
there could be no grnver charge brought
against the measure than IL burst q trust, he
said let the grand work go on.
Mr. Lehlback, OF New Jersey, said that the
President deserved the admiration Of the
Republican party for having taken away all
possibility OF q deceptive campaign In the
| manufacturing States Of the Union. For
years the Democratic party had deceived the
| people OF his district rs 10 the true status Of
that party. In vain would the Democratic
political managers again attempt 10 inaugu-
rate dishonest methods OF campaign. The
President had electually proclaimed that Il
was dishonest 10 blow both hot and cold on
the tariff question.
The people Of New Jersey would rebuko
