senate antitrust bill. The house then
went into committee of the whole on the
tariff bill.

would proceed as promptly as possible
to act upon the amendments offered by
the committee Of ways and means, then
other gentlemen who had substantial
benefits to offer might be recognized.
McMillin, of Tennessee, declared that
the manner in which this bill was being
considered was fair neither to the house
nor to the taxpayers of the country. 1t
was utterly impossible to consider and
debate the bill carefully in the few days
allowed by the rigorous rule reported by
the committee on rules.
Breckenridge, of Kentucky, opposed
the pending amendment which fixes the
duty at 60 cents per square yard and 40
per cent ad valorem On oriental, Berlin
and similar rugs. After some further
debate the amendment was agreed to.

kinley were adopted.

cent.

party of Ohio was the friend of the
Standard Oil Company.

to show what legislation the democratic
Ohio legislature had ever passed for the
benefit OF the Standard Oil Company.

Oil Company legislated democratic
senator into the senate.
Cultivate denied the accusation.
