Butterworth, not having the fear OF Reed |
before his eyes, delighted the Democrats
Hnd COMPOUNDED the Republicans to day by
telling tho truth about the Mckinley Tariff |
bill. Butterworth was shut out OF tho gen.
eral debate by the ways ana means Repub-
licans, who used up IA Of the l6 hours
allotted to their side because they feared |
that he might make iust such II deliverance
az he did make to-day, but tho Democrats,
having heard that he was going to make a
candid and courageous speech, saw TO II
that he had all the time he wanted. Heard,

OF the Republicans daring to ohjeot. Butter
worth was in fine voice and spirits, and.
towering above Mckinley, who sat just be-
fore him, made his speech most impress
sively.
The Democrats applauded 1t vigorously.
Mckinley sat pale, nervous and silent
throughout. Some OF the other Republi-
cans ventured TO interrupt Bntterworth,
but only succeeded In helping him as he
exposed the Mckinley bill, many OF whose
provisions he said were not only indefenHi-
BILE but immoral.

Hopkins Qll) when no spoke OF ths TIM

capable Of doing, he had tried to UNDER
stand the tariff question, and he never
doubted that the protective system was

which created Inequalities among Amerl-

The country In the election OF Harrison
and the ltepu6llcon Congress had declared
unequiyocnlly In favor OF sustaining aud

fiet Ia 1858 had NOT bsen b5tTean the
schedule rates. but between economic
policies. The Democratic policy was vel!
known 1t was that the tariff should he
levied for revenue only. This Republican
policy was that the tariff, whether high OF
low, should be 30 adjusted as TO establish
