THE HoUsK.
WASHINGTON, april 30.-The call Of
states for the Introduction OF bills for
reference were dispensed with, the MEM
bers being permitted to ale their meas
ures a. the crk's desk.
The House then went into committee
of the whole on the tariff oil and was sd-
dressed by Mr.. Grosyenor OF OHIO. He
said it was strange that the Democratic
marty srfayed itself, led by an amateur
statesman, the President OF the United
States, in the defence of the internal
revenue system; tbs. suddenly the DEM
ocrstic psrty had become the chsm-
MON Of taat system. For twenty years
the gentlemen representing the southern
states had not only denounced the general
system Of internal revenue, but had OPP
posed all efforts of the government to
enforce the lsT snd had so thoroughly
educated the people OF toe south in the
belief inst the system WAS tyrannous
that they had built up great s3nti
mgnt in the south that TO defeat and vio-
late and destroy the system by fraud and
violence and boodshed and murder was
but 81 assertion of the God given
Eight Of rebellion against the tyranDous
fxSctme1t CT q tyrannous gov rnment.
10 dAni hNy
message OF the President that the most
sscred method Of ex.csion in this country
was now and must BE- in the future the
internal revenue system. The mission OF
the statesman, he ssid, WAS to see to 1t
that the labOring men OF the country
should have great deal more wages
than the laboring men of other countries.
He quoted statistics to show that the con-
dition Of the farmers was prosperous and
the prosperity Of country had
met with nc check until the
Morrison bill men.ced tue industries
Of the United States. The disaster which
wls threatened by the Morrison bill
would be quadrupled by the passage of
the Mills bill.
Mr. Rayner OF Maryland did not think
that the duty on glass should be reduced
to the extent proposed in the bill. But
no matter how the bill came from the
Democratic party, he would vote foz it.
(Applsus.
MI NutTing regretted to hear the
gentleman ssy that although there was
wrong in bill which put thousands Of
hboriag men 81 disadvantage, he would
vote for it.
Mr. Rsyner replied he would follow his
party on this great issue. He
mad no right to look to
any industry in his district
when the question before the country was
whether systematic piece OF robbery and
plonder should Oe continued. Passing to
consideration OF the question of trusts he
salu inst unless heroic steps were taken
Wimpede their advance, private enter
prlses would be seriously sdected and
p'ces OF the principal commodities Of the
country would be arbitrarily fixed The
o'snoard OIL Trust WAS one of fraud,
corruption sDd oppression. II the Demo
vfAtc party struck down the monopolies
AWould receive under leadership OF him
VINO LED 1t now, the renewed feslty Of the
people Applause But il IL locked

Was On The wall, for treachery could
never triumph, and lie could never live.
Applause
:, Mr.. Henderson Of lows, said the Pres
meaI had thrown the gauntlet at the feet
protection snd stood boldly up IS the
ssuatnplon OF free trade. He criticised
we OIL as gripping where 1t should sup
poIs and tearing down where 1t should
Uulo up. TIE farming industry had 6
s.eSIer interest ia sprotecJion than any
U O,i Industry ia the country. The ap-
pnGauon of free trade or OF
sucn reduction OF the tariff as
nuao throw out OF employment non
sNulturists would be sjblow that the
tsa nIf would feel deeply. He warned
MooriDg men against any party,
on .ssluent or law maker whose acts would
s sr.eAen the trade of England, while in .
S@psfstlve decree it would check the
coauNuiicturing Industries of their own
