Speaker Carlisle, in his speech that he
madc IN the senate--I have always thought,
thought in the 5Oth congress, and have
had, as AbesLincoln used to say, "a kind Of
sneaking notion. and that was one Of the
reasons why tho Democratic party was 40
tender of the sugar schedule in the Mills bill
that they wanted to protect that Hawaiian
Claus Spreckles sugar monopoly, and am
conformed in that notion from the com.
plant that Mr.. Ex.Speaker Carlisle made in
his speech summing up this Mckinley bill

his REMARKS ON THAT OCCASION.
Here is what ar. Carlisle says, and, win
have to read down in order to quote him
fully and fairly, but you will sec that he
finds fault with this:

that the bill comes back here as abrOgating alb

So you can see that by Mr.. Carlisle, one
OF the complaints is that we have abrogated
that treaty giving that sugar monopoly
to Claus Spreckles. Now you may not I'M
derstand the full force of this. There is a
native government, a sort of fgurehead in
the Hawaiian islands, but the real business
is either run by Europeans or Yankees. and
it seems the Yankees under the leadership of
that great man Spreekles have got hold of
the whole sugar production of that island.
and under that have been making from
5000, coo to 100000 year out of the
American people. And FROM that load the
Republican party has relieved you BY the

wonders and says: ''Why, you voted for the

Laughter and applause.] I voted for the
Mills bill, first of all, not be-.

but because voted for it as an
expression of my sentiments in favor of
tariff reform and tariff reduction. In other
words, was like the boy, wanted to kick
something, and there was nothing else to
kick except the Mills bill. Laughter
But mors than that, knew that under eur
constitution no tariff bill could originate in
the senate, and l also knew that any tariff
bill, however mean it might be, if it passed
the house, if it got over to the Republican
senate, would be corrected. Laughter aud
applause And JUST as guessed 1t turned
out. That Mills bill which I voted for
under sort of q moral protest, when il get
into the senate, you all know that the senate
prepared a substitute; prepared substitute

reform. Applause.] But the strongest
thing of all is-and you would all smile if
would tell you, if would let you q
little into my confidence, have been
regarded as a sort OF tariff crank, and yet
this Mckinley bill has Endorsed more of my
crank notions than supposed until today,

and then made vigorous kick against re-
ducing the internal taxes on spirits and
tobacco. That little kick was in my little
speech. Well, Mckinley went to Chicago,
and wrote out his platform, aud know how
l felt, and know how a good many other
Republicans felt. We shut our eyes for the
dose, but we voted for that good

The platform promised, under certain
conditions, if you remember, free whisky
and free tobacco. / am putting it in a
plain rural way. [Laughter.] They say it
was necessary. they had better wipe those
taxes out than remit any protective duties.
Now what has the Mckinley bill done? They
have not touched whisky in any shape or
manner. That thing is taxed as much as
ever, and the tobacco schedule they have
only taxed it a mere trif1e, they have only
cut it down. think cannot give the fiR-
ures exactly-but take Mr.. Carlisle's state
ment in his speech, they have only cut down
the tobacco schedule s6,0OO,00O, while the
words. the Mckinley bill has left whisky
untouched, and has only taken one-sixth of
the internal revenue tax off of tobacco, and
it has given us free sugar. Now, do you
