tory.
The House then went into Committee on
the Whole to consider the tariff bill. and
Mr.. McCreary, of Kentucky, Dem opened
the days debate with a speech in favor OF
the Mills bill.
He said the people were confronted by a
great public question of a rapidly increas-
ing surplus in the Treasury and useless and
publican party with having defeated every
attempt made by the Democrats to reduce
taxation. The war taxes still remain and
they are heavier to-day on an average than
they were during the war.
Mr.. Foran of Ohio, Democrat followed
with speech in opposition to the bill. Mr.
Foran thought the projectors of the bill were
governed more by y desire to cut and slash
the tariff than by an honest wish to meet
the condition that the President expected
them to meet. The bill he regarded as .
humiliating confession that all the evil
things which had been said about the tariff

and touching the question of wages, de-
clared that if the bill passed, Amer
lean workmen would be COM
pelled to compete with English work
men, and receive the same low rate of pay
He protested against the United States
following the example or doing the bidding
of Great Britain. The vapid vaporings Of
the anglo maniac did not deceive the
American patriot. Every thinking man
knew that the ruling classes of England
were and always had been hostile TO this
republic. The English press and English
statesmen favored the bill now under dis
cussion, and this furnished a cogent reason
why American statesmen should give it q
grave and careful examination before they
voted upon it.
As against Mr.. Mills proposition that
high wages were not the result Of Q pro-
tective system, but of the invention Of labor
saving machines. He quoted an article
written by Henry George, in which the
ground was taken that the in
yention of labor saving machinery
was the result of high wages.
This latter position he regarded as the true
one He protested now. and would protest
under any and all circumstances against
the false assumption and suicidal declara-
Democratic principles and Democratic
duty. If it was the intention of tho bill to
reduce the surplus it would prove an ab-
solute failure. As it now stood he not
only denounced it. he repudisted and de-
nounced il.
Mr.. O'Farrell (Democrst) supported and
Mr.. Dorsey (Republican) spoke in opposi-
ton to the bill, and at $50 the House ad-
journed.
The senate,
At the conclusion of the morning busi-
ness, Mr.. Stewart proceeded to address the
Senate in support of his silver coinage
resolution. AT the conclusion of his sd-
dress the resolution was adopted.
