ROBBERY BY TAXATION.
,rzJNLHY's TARIFF JOB PUT
THROUGH THE SENATE.

1hraa Republicans KICK Out or the
party Traces and Vote Against the
eu1-Carlisle's Magnificent a rraign
,,,ent of the IniQuitous Measure
Dvinz Throes of the Session May
Adjourn To-day.
y,sHrNGroN, Sept 30.-The conference
rorort on the tariff bill passed the Senate
.hortlv after o'clock this afternoon by a
-ote of SO to 81. Three western republicans,
plurb of Kansas, Pettigrew of South Da-
I.o+. and Paddock of Nebraska spurned
,ba bill under their heels by placing them
calves on record against this iniquitous
measure of increased tariff taxation. 1t
raouires a great deal Of courage for these
,onuhlicans to repudiate what is pre-emi-
vanity the party measure of this session,
but the western sentiment is 80 bitterly hos
tile to the new expressions which the
Mckinley bill imposes on the farmers that
tbav dared not to place themselves in oppo-
sition to the rising tide Of tariff reform in
tha west. which in sists upon the reduction
srd not the increase of tariff duties. Some
of the other western republicans who come
nm for reelection next winter, notably
Senator ingalls,, may find to their sorrow
that il would have been the part OF political
wisdom for them to have voted to-day III
the interest of their constituents instead of
in the interests of the trusts and monopo-
lists of the east, who will get the lions
sbara of the plunder from the enactment of
this measure
CARLIsLE's MAsTERLY ARGUMENT.
The feature Of the debate to- day was the
brilliant and mastery speech Of Senator
Carlisle of Kentucky. 1t is universally pro-
nounced tonight the greatest effort of
Carlisles life. The distinguished Ken
tuckian scorned sophistry, demagogy and
specous arguments, and his speech
to-day was clear, direct and
logical. and went to the bottom
Of the great contention between the two
parties On the tariff. He was meroiless in
bis exposure of the unconstitutional char
acter of the sugar bounty; the prostitution
Of the taxing power to build up q tin
plate industry in this country for the benefit
of few persons who desired to engage
IN It's manufacture, and the palpable fraud
and pretense of the reciprocity proposition
sit is included in this bill. The republican
senator's squirmed and wriggled in their
seats as the Kentuckian laid his giant blows
upon the bill, and Maj. Mckinley. its puta-
tive author, who sat spell-bound, must have
been amazed at the startling audaciJy of his
own handiwork.
Other senators followed Senator Carlisle,
but the interest and audience melted away
after he had finished speaking.
KELLY MAY KICK.
The tariff bill has already been engrossed
and will be signed as soon as presented to
the President tomorrow. Some of the
republicans of the House are greatly
alarmed at the rumored threat OF Kelly Of
Kansas, this evening, that he would make
the point of mo quorum" to-m1rrow t.

OF the enrolment of the bill Kelly is one
OF the House republicans who voted against
| the conference report. He has been encour-
aged by the bold stand taken by the three
western republican senators this afternoon,
and he should carry out his threat it
might take ten days to get quorum here
However, the chances are that he
