THE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, May l4-Mr. Mills OF
Texas from the committee on rules re-
ported and the House adopted without
discussion or division q resolution pro-
vlding that the general debate on the
tariff bill shall Close on Saturday next.
The House then went into committee
Of the whole on the tariff bill, and was
addressed by Mr.. Hatch IF Missouri. he
said he would be derelict in his duty to
his people, iAithless to his constituents
and disloysl to the agricultural interests
Of the country If he neglected to speak
earnestly and plainly in what
he considered the legislative crisis
in the history Of the country
he extolled TIC industry of agriculture IS
the most honorable occupation of man,
and commended that tnat industry had
borne more than its just part of the bur
dens Of the government. No system oil
taxation could be devised to benefit one
class Of people that would not bear with
hsrshness on some other class. The pro
tective tariff had Injured to the benefits o.
the manufacturers alone, and the farmers
snd consuming masses had no share II
those benefits. The tax that enriched tlt
manufacturer, Impoverished the farmer
and the claim made by the protectionists
that the tariff duty did not increase the
cost Of an article he regarded as toe
ridiculous to discuss. Reviewing the
speeches Of the gentlemen from New En-
slsud in reference to the great prosperity
Of that great section under the protective
tariff, he admitted the prosperity
Of these states, but denied tina
farmers residing therein had had any
share in the general prosperity. The
gentlemen from the west were asked WHY
that section did not diversity its interests
and become rich like New England. The
west did not wish to get rich in the same
manner. Its moral plane was 80 higt
mat 1t rejected with scora and contemp
The proposition that Ii should rob nine
men in order to mske one man rich. The
gentlemen representing the agriculture
districts Of the west VINO opposed thi.
oil would And q storm Of indignation
among their constituents when they go
nome. He spoke for the voters Of thu
Mississippi valley when he declared
mat they were almost unan
inous in favor of free WOO
and reduction on manufactured wooier
goods. He believed shere was fair chance
Of the House passing the moderate ant
conservative measure now pending. ID
believed that when the final vote wa
reached every Democrat would be found
n favor Of the bill. For 1900 years thu
Varistian religion had received It's strong
est hope from the grand declaration o
raul when he said, "Every knee shall ooV
ana every tongue shall confess the divin
ny OF the Ssvior;" fundamental truth o
