and Warmly Defended Denounced as a
Perjurer BY Representative Bynum.
WAsHINGToN, May 15-The house insist
ed on the amendment TO the senate depend.
ent pension bill and conference was or
dered The consideration Of the tariff bill
having been resumed, Mr.. Bynum dnd)
moved to reduce the duty on common earth
enware from IS to IS per cent. ad valorem.
Mr. Burrows (Mich.) contended that the
effect Of the tariff was to reduce the price
of articles to the consumers. This conten-
tion was denied by Mr. Mills Tex J, who
ridiculed the idea that IL the tariff reduced
the prices the manufacturers would come
to congress asking that the tariff be ad-
vanced for their benefit. Mr. Walker Mass J
said that no manufacturer had ever come
before the ways and means committee and
asked that duties be put up or down on his
own account. The workingmen got every
dollar Of the increase of price on account Of
back the insult which denominated manu-
facturers as robber barons.
Manufacturer Versus Laboring Man.
Mr. Mills said the members Of the house
were told that the gentleman, as a manu-
facturer, did not desire to promote the in
terest of his class. He rose above party
and interest He became philanthropist
and represented not himself but the inter
est of labor His heart was swollen with
/ devotion to the workingmen lie said that
the tariff was intended to enable manufact
urers TO pay wages to the laborer. The
manufacturers paid l.25 to labor for pro
| ducing ton Of pig iron. The government
| gave the manufacturer S6.72 in order t.
enable him to pay that sl.25. The manu-
facturer paid labor s3 for producing a tor
of steel rails. The government gave hin
sl7 70 enable him TO pay it. Why did not
She manufacturer give the Sl7 TO the work
ingmen instead of turning them out o
work and going on tally-ho rides through
the mountains Of Scotland2 Mr. Bynumt
