WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-McMillan of
Tennessee withdrew his demand for read
ing the tariff conference report in view OF
the fact that the report was printed in the
Record.
Mckinley said il was understood the re-
publican members desired more than one
hour for debate. He asked, therefore,
that the debate continue five hours, two
to be given to friends, three TO opponents
of the report.
Mcmillan protested against limitation
being put upon discussion, but suggested,
If limitation be made. the hour be fixed at
6 o'clock.
Mckinley acquiesced in this suggestion
and asked consent that the previous ques-
ton be ordered at that hour.
Mcmillan objected, whereupon McKin-
ley gave notice that he would demand the
previous question at half past five.
Mckinley explained the provisions of
the conference report. In regard to bind
ing twine, he expressed the opinion that
the duty was too low, but INDUCED the
hope that some future congress would APP
ply a remedy. Commenting upon the re-
| ciprocity provision he said 1--WE con-
sented TO the reciprocity provision being
put into our bill by the senate-a provi-
| sion perfectly well understood by both
sides of the house. We have accepted
the amendment known as the Aldrich
amendmenU and indulge the hope that,
| in accordance with the expectation and
over the country, this will enable us to
open up great fields for the products of
our farms. We accepted this amendment
in the hope that such result will be fully
realized"
| Flower Of New York character
| lied the measure as cyclone bill.
The point of the bill was to so
arrange matters that there would
be no trade between the United States
and foreign countries. 1t would enable
manufacturers to combine and fleece the
people, while the farmers would fail To

binding twine, Flower said while gentle.

provision as being in favor of the far.
mers of the West. il would ruin 10000
working men in New England and New
York.
Mcmillan of Tennessee said the bill as
agreed TO increased by one dollar the tax
paid by every Caucasian and negro-man
woman and cbild-in the land. The re-
ciprocity provision was a cowardly sur
render of the highest prerogative of the
house. The bill gave the president a
power not exercised by the czar of Russia
Mckinley then made the closing speech
i'm advocacy OF the bill. The committee
had so Disseminated in the adjustment OF
the tariff as 10 give protection to oul
people, defense TO our industries and
compensation TO make up the difference
between prices in Europe and in the
United States. IL was the pride OF this
country that IL paid more and better
wages 10 its workmen than were paid
anywhere else on the face Of the earth
and il was enabled to do il because the
republican party and the old whig part,
before il had given its promise that il
would impose tariff on products thai
came into competition with our owr
labor, or our own soil. or our own crops
The future alone would vindicate or con
denim this bill. The words of the gentle
man from Tennessee and other gentle
men were only the words of the press ol
England or the press OF other countries
On this question, in opposition Il
this bill, Great Britain aud the demo
cratic party were i'm an unholy alliance
Gentlemen on the other side had said th,
bill would not increase the demand for {
single grain Of wheat, bushel Of corn, oI
pound of meat. They forget that wher
the bill becomes law and the new indus

the support of 5000 people, and thes,
5000 people would be new consumer
and thereby create a demand for th,
products Of the farmers OF the west. Al
ready they have begun making tin plat,
in ST. Louis in anticipation that the bill
would pass. Men were ready 20 inves
money in this enterprise, and instead o
paying fifteen or twenty millions 10 other
for our tin, we propose 20 max,
