bill. but had only got through two lines when
he was stopped by McPhers0n with remark |
'nsI McP6elsen fs se then offered an amendment re-
ducing the duty on boracic acid from to S15
cents Rejected-25 to 80.
Zones of Arkansas then addressed the Senate
in oppo ition to the bill, which he said was a
declaration on the part of the Republican
party that the tariff was never to be reduced
He firmly believed the present period Of pro,
a movement that would in its effects and conse-
quences surpass all previous upheayals OF the
Kind. The protective system would be crushed
and cast out as an utter abomination. Coming
to the question of bounty on sugar, Jones
asked why not protect the wheat grower
by bounty, as well IS the sugar grower. The
proposition to take the duty off raw sugsr and
to pay bounty on American grown sugar SIM
ply meant sugar free TOR the re6Rries; sugar
free for the sugar trust; sugar taxed for all who
consume it for food
The next line of the bill having been read by
tt Clerk-"Chromic acid, contents per pound"
Mcpherson moved to substitute the existing
duty of 10 per cent ad valorem.
German said the Democratic Senators wanted
free discussion of the bill, and nothing more
But the Republican Senators wanted to rush 1t
through at railroad speed.
Aldrich said that in 1SSS the tariff had been
discussed in every field and workshop and on
every hustings. The country understood that
the talk about explanations and the attempt TO
drive the Republican Senators to make stump
speeches for political effect was simply to delay
| action on the tariff bill, which delay was de-
structive to every business interest:
German reminded the Republican side of
Plumb's statement that the party was in danger,
and OF his warning that it would have to in
crease taxation within eighteen months He
also said that Mr.. Blaine had Through the Sem
ators from Maine) told the Republican Senators
that if they passed the bill as reported they
would not only destroy the possibility of increas-
| ing the trade with the countries south of the
| United States, but would bankrupt the treasury
| in eighteen months, Tor that was the meaning of
| II.
Hscock made general charge that the Re-
publican success at the last election was the re-
suit OF the influence of manufacturers or mo-
4 nopolists. and asserted that in the State of New
1 York, wherever Democratic majoTities were
rolled up, the steps of the whisky interest could
/ be marked. In reference to the statement ss to
| ings to persons interested, Hsoock said it had
| refused TO give hearings to representatives of
manufacturers OF Germany, France, England
and Belgium. He did not know how much
money had been contributed TO the Democratic
| election fund by these interests, but he knew
that every day that the tariff bill was delayed
/ was largely to the profit of foreign tact
urers. They were interested in its defeat
Voorhees, congratulated German on his great
victory in breaking the predetermined silence
| on the Republican, side of the chamber. AS to
1 the speech of the Senator from New York,
which had been extorted under the lash, 1t
was the same old TRADE of columny and abuse
| against the Democratic party.
| After further debate the bill was laid aside
| and the House joint resolution to continue the
| appropriations under the existing laws, up to
the 10th OF August was Presented, discussed
\ and passed.

The House then went into Committee of the
| Whole on the Senate amendments to the sundry
| civil appropriation bill.
! In speaking to one OF the Senate amendments
to the sundry civil bill, Struble of Iowa made a
| bitter attack upon Speaker Reed for his action
| towards gentlemen having an interest in public
| building bills. He had contrasted the courte-
GUS manner of Speaker Carlisle towards all gen.
tlemen requesting recognition with the al
most sneering manner in which the present
| speaker treated such requests The Speaker
| treated members as though they were boys. He
did not propose to stand this sort of treatment
| any longer without protest. Should members
! he asked, continue to submit longer like cow
ards TO the dictation of the Speaker? Should
| they not rather combine in an honest attempt
| to have recognition? He was for rebellion
| against the rulings of the Speaker in regard to
| public building bills.
StrubePs remarks were vigorously applauded
| by the Democrats.
Cannon thought the gentleman from Iowa
| had better have withheld his attack upon the
Speaker. He (Cannon) DID not feel called upon
to defend the Speaker. The Speaker needed no
| defense.
| Peters of Kansas defended the Sneaker &
| actions.
! McClammy of North Carolina expressed his
pleasure at knowing that the occasion had ar
| rived when the gentleman {Strublel could have
| the courage of his convictions. daughter,
which broke out louder when McClammy al
| luded to struble's failure to secure renomina-
| ton by speaking OF the beautiful tones of the
| dying swan
An amendment which gave rise to discussion,
was that appropriating $500, 900 for the purchase
of suitable site for a building for the supreme
| Court.
In opposing this McClammy took occasion to
poke more fun at Mr.. Struble, greatly to the
amusement of the House.
The amendment was honoured in. The Com.
