Turner a'iacked method by which
the republican msjoiiy had rushed bust
ness through the House.
Wheeler, Of Alabama, inveighed against
the inconsideraie has e in which the House
vas called upon to pass upon the measure
which involved every husiness interest in
the country.
Vaux Penn said the county was look
ing to the House for an intelligent deus
sion of the tariff question. He rose no. to
say word on thi. subject bur for the sim
gle purpose of trying 10 inform the people
that the republican party forbade the right
of representation in the House Of Ameri-
can Coneress. He wanted the people TO
understand that free speech had gore in
the House.
Cummings New York; said he was an
unwilling passenger on the Mckinley '7rif
Congressional limited express tfain.
dovn-east engineer and buckeye conductor
were running the train on their own hook
in defiance of the will of the people. He
uttered his protest sgainst it. That was
all he was allowed to 10.
Mckinley said if the committee on rules
had erred in porting the resolution. they
had erred 10 giving too much me for de-
bate. He invited toe attention of the House
to the fact that not fifteen minutes of the
two hours had been devoted TO discussion of
Senate amendments. or the tariff ques. on
at all. The methods of the majority were
known to the country. The trouble with
members on the other side was that they
did net discuss the measures, but called
names, and while they were calling names,
the msjnr ty had done more public business
than had been done by any House since the
foundation of government. (Applause on
the republican side
Referring to the charge that the bill is
sectional Mckinley said that not a single
paragraph in the bill is sectional in charsc
ter. The Mills bill, he said, is sectional
