SAAeSA-A THE FIFTY.FIRST CONGRESS. Passage of the Tariff Bill by the Senate-Yeas 40, Nays 29-The Vote in Detail - COnferees Appointed on the Part of the Senate - Speaker Reeds Desk Adorned With Magni. ficent Floral Designs.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept 1O.-The tariff bill was taken up, the question be- ing on it's passage, and six hours being all lowed to close the discussion, the vote was taken.
 MT. Hoar referring to the reciprocity said that he had voted for it yesterday with some hesitation and should not have done so if he thought the scheme contained in the amendment was all that was likely to come out of the entering on that policy.
 Mr. Hiscock was the next speaker. He said the democratic senators had surpassed their predecessors in charaltanism, dema- misrepresentation and insincere professions of devotion to the industrial interests of the country. Every effort to provide free homes and secure free speech for the laboring classes had been respected by the democratic party up to 1861, by every method which statesmanship could devise and rufianism execute, and the last great effort had culminated in civil war And that party had, since then, opposed all measures that looked to the elevation and to the assurance of equal rights of the laboring classes of the old slave states. Those classes had been terrorized by assas- sination and the most violent methods had been resorted to to subjugate them in de- fance of constitutional guarantees. Coming directly to the tariff bill Mr. Hiscock as serted that it had not been constructed with view to injure commerce, but rather to create and foster commerce. Its effects would be so beneficial that it would remain long time undisturbed and even the democrats would change front and proclaim their devotion to the principle of protection. He went on to compare the administration of MT. Harrison with that of Mr. Cleveland, and said the bene- fits which had resulted from a republican of public affairs was force ably illustrated by a comparison of the financial operation of the treasury depart ment. The largest increase in the internal revenue receipts in any one year during MT. Cleveland's administration had been S6, 568, ,000; while without any change in the law the in crease of collections for the first full year of Harrison's administration had been S11 TOO, 000 This gain might fairly, he said, be credited to republican honesty and efficiency in that one branch of the collections under Cleveland had been 3.36 per cent; under Harrison only 2.09 per cent. The surplus on March 1, 1889, had been 48,000,000. There were then no United States bonds that could be called for redemption, and the purchases in the latter part of the Cleveland administration supply of bonds in the mar ket but had enhanced the prices to 1.29 for As and 1.09 for 4as Notwith- standing those unfavorable conditions their had been purchased during the past eighteen months of Mir. Harrison's admin istration S151 1000, 900 of those two classes of bonds, and there had also been redeemed at par s2O, ,OoO, 900 of Al per cent. bonds, making total reduction of the interest bearing debt of about S171 ,000, ,000, as com pared with reduction of about $62 ,OOO, ,O0( in the corresponding period of the Cleve. land administration.
 Mir. Turpie addressed the senate in op position to the bill.
 MT. Vest said he would not emulate the example of the senator from New Yorl (Mr. Hiscock) and follow him into the do main of epithet and vituperation. Tha senator had charged the democratic part, with being the party of ruffians and crime and had charged democratic senators witl being charaltans, demagogues, dishones pretenders and habitual slanderers. Tn democratic party and every gentleman il it could (Mr. Vest declared) treat that sen x.,st1 ,~A cratic senators had met lions in debat and could disregard the vituperations O the senator from New York. The demo cratic party, battered, torn and lacerate' in many deadly conflict where life wa the forfeit of the game, would turn asid from smaller enemy whose only mean of offense and defense was the noisom filth which poisoned the surrounding al mosphere.
 MT. Vance said that in closing the de bate on the democratic side he was per l forming duty, and his action was hope less It had already been decided tha | the tariff bill was to pass- For man | weeks democratic senators had had n hope of any other result and the effol had been, knowing that the bill was t pass, to expose its inequalities, its iniqu | ties and it's injustices to the people. Tn bill, he thought, was in conflict with a | the principles of public finance. The bi | had but one redeeming feature, and thi was it's intense and naked selfishnes | which would be the means of arousing tf conscience of the American people and ( leading to it's repeal. No force in the nor world or in the physical world was ev, lost. The man who threw stone at dog but missed the dog and hit his mott
 er-in-law, said he, was very sorry he misss
 the dog, but he thanked God that the stol
 was not wasted Laughter
 The presiding officer, MT. Ingalls,, al
 nounced the close of the three hours
 which the democratic side was entitled.
 MT. Vance-Mr. Weller, when supe
 vising ''Samiyil' writing his first love le
 ter, said: Sammy, my son, ain't that
 rayther sudden pulling upa" Laughte,
 I will observe the admonition of the pre-
 ident.
 MT. Jones of Nevada delivered a learn
 and philosophical address in commend
 ton of the policy of the protective systel
 and illustrative of it's effect in developil
 the mechanical arts and the industr
 forces of nation. He compared the fl
 traders to the robbers and pirates of t
 middle ages, and said that free trade wou
 result in the destruction of industry.
 conclusion, MT. Jones said that he regal
 ed the pending bill as one of the mo
 beneicent measures that could be enact
 into legislation-unless, indeed, the dut
 were made higher. If he had his way,
 would make it tariff of exclusion.
