MONOPOLISTIC TRUSTS

Receive tho Attention of Learned Legis-
lators Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-The House
went into the Committee Of the Whole on
the tariff bill, the pending lines being
those relating TO fax.
Mr.. Browne, Of Indiana, argued in favor
of maintaining the existing duties on fax,
asserting that the average duty of 8 per
cent. was among the lowest imposed by
the law on imports. Mr.. Clifford, Of
Dakota, and Mr.. BuchanoD, ofNew Jersey,
also Mr.. Mills defended the bill and de-
precatsd efforts made by the other side to
distort every attempt at revision into an
abuse of the poor.
Mr.. Raynor, of Maryland, ridiculed the
reference to Mr.. Reeds tariff speech to
trusts and that gentlemsn's declaration
that outside of the Patent Office there were
no trusts in the country and never would
be. He asserted that numbers of trusts
were in operation for the purpose Of limit
ing production and raising prices, and he
charged the Republican party with having
been from the day Of its existenc friendly
to combinations and the capital that com
posed them. Applause on the Democrat
ic side. He defed the Republican party
to place in its National Platforms
the Democratic Convention had d0ne-a
plank avOwing its open autsgonism
to combinations, which, one by one were
draining the life blood Of the country.
Applause. The Republican party would
not dare to do 1t, and not u man on the
other side would have the moral courage
to oppose the trusts which were sending
Republicans to the House of Representa-
tives in the interest of manufacturers
against the consumers and laboring men.
Applause].
Mr.. Reed, of Maine, said that this was
not the first time that he had seen gentle
men on the other side in state OF COMP
ton" Laughter]. He had heard such
orations as the gentlemsn's upon other
subjects. That kind of oratory was cheap
on the other side, and cheap anywhere
else. He had heard gentlemen in great
state of exaltation talk about National
banks and the vampires of Wall street, that
were sucking the blood ofthe nation, and
he had lived to see q Democratic admins
tration put $50, 900, 900 of the peoples
money into the Golfers Of the National
Banks. [Applause on the Republican
side j.
Mr.. Dockery, of Missouri, quoted Mr..
Butterworth's speech to show his variance
from Mr.. Reid upon the subject Of trusts.
He ssid that no man claimed that all Of
the trusts were directly attributable to the
tariff, and he cited the Chicago Cattle
Trust as case in point
The committee then rose, and the House
adjourned.

manner. at is impossible to predict the
future course of the case" he said "chiefy
because it is impossible to estimate how
great stock of vitality and endurance re-
mains after such severe and repeated
shocks az have already been borne Still,
as long as the various complications, grave
though they be, are brought und 'r
control as promptly rs has hitherto
been found possible, it is evidsn
that very distinct hope must continue to
be entertained, for it is to be remembered
that this is not the final breaking down of
a system worn ont by chronic disease, but
the acute development of dangerous fupc.
tional disturbances to overstrain in a case
of organic disease of the heart. Here, then,
while it must be admitted that uncOn-
trollable heart failure may occur, or fatal
secondary disease may ensue, it must be
steadily maintained that gradual restora.

ble."
DR.. Pepper stated that while in Wash
ington the last time consultation was ar
ranged for tomorrow, Sunday afternoon,
and he expects to leave Philadelphia for
Washington at $3.50 tomorrow afternoon.
