Mr.. ingalls, left the chair and made
an attack upon Senator Voorhees,,

The feature in tho House to-day was
the animated debate ON the Tariff bills
On motion of Mir Clardy, of Missouri
The Senate amendment was agreed TO.
The Speaker laid before the House the
Mills Tariff bill, with The Senate substi-
tue therefor, together with the request
Of the Senate for conference
Mr Reed, of Maine moved to concur
in The Senate substitute
Mr. McMillen. of Tennessee, raised
the point of order that the substitute
must first be- considered In Committee of
the Whole. and Mr. Mills Of Texas. the
point ihatitmusi be referred to the Com
miltee on Ways and Means
Nr Reed, in advocating the immediate
consideration OF the Senate measure
quoted the sentence from the tariff
speech of Speaker Carlisle. In which he
SAYS |, ID the imperative duty of the
representatives. Of the people 10 reduce
the revenue before this Congress shall
adjourn. There was d difference be
tween the House and Senate bills The
House bin very largely increased the 0d
csl0rem list of duties, and the Senate bill
increased somewhat the specific duties
The Senate had followed the advice Of
every Secretary OF the Treasury, and al
most every person who had had in hand
the actual administration OF tho tariff
law
The Senate. anticipating some diifer-
cnce arising from the ordinary rules Of
the House, had proposed a committee on
conference The House could come 10 a
speedy conclusion on the matter, and
such a conclusion was very much 10 be
desired Members knew by experience
that should the bill 90 TO the Ways and
Neans Committee no discussion between
persons OF different belief IN the commit
tee would be likely TO take place such
a course would only provoke delay The
session was so short that If the gentle
men meant 20 dispose Of the bill they
ought 10 go to work al once. Applause
on Republican side
Mr. Mills, Of Texas, said that in pur-
suance OF its constitutional power the
House had made rulo requiring all
bills Of this nature 90 be- considered IN
Committee OF the Whole. So jealous
had the House been Of the purse OF the
people, and 30 regardful had IL been OF
The peoples rights. that il had made a
rule that whenever q bill dealing with
these sacred rights came from the senate,
IL should receive ils first considera-
tion In Committee of the W hole.
The senate had been busy.
Ia defiance of the constitution,
comparing the bin. which it now sent to
the House before the House had sent It's
bill 10 the Senate Now 10 was proved
i'm violation of the rules of the House
that the House should agree t0a commit
Tee of conference and pass the eXtraordi-
nary measure az time when the golfers
of the government were loaded with eX-
cesslve rerepue, az a time when the peo'
ole were grOaning under excessive taxa
lion A bill 10 increase the revenue by IN
creasing the burden on the people tor pri'
yate purposes. Applause On Democratic
side) He would not indulge in further
comment on the measure. There was a
time for all things, and if the majority
Of the Rouse was true 10 itself, the
Senate bill would come here 10 be dis
cussed 10 be criticized, TO be exposed TO
the American people, and 1t would
come in accordance with the rules OF
the House, from the committee TO when
il belonged.
Mr.. McKinly, of Ohio said that the
question as 10 whether there was TO be
any revenue legislation before the con
cnsion OF the present Congress, de-
pended very much upon the action taken
today upon tho motion made by the
Gentleman from Maine Everybody

MIR Mcllillen, Of Tennessee, said tha
the remarks OF the gentleman from Ohi'
would be very fine for stump speech
