In a brief speech which was heartily ap-
plnudcd on the Democratic side Mr.. Breckin-
ridgo of kentucky ridicuied the speeches made
by MesSrs. Perkins and leters OF Kansas No
referred to their euloGy OF the farmers of Kan
Ras. and expressed his Rratlticnton that with
those farmers everything was lovely. He hopod
that the Farmers Alliance would accept the
assurance that everything was lovely He
hoped that the farmers would have the speech
of Mr.. Perkins to show that there were no taxes
In Kansas and that when tho interest Eatherer

lost. A similar motion made by Mr.. Covert to
str Ike out the duty on sulphuric acid met with
u similar fate.
The committee then rose and the House adj
lourned until tomorrow at II a. Al.
