The Tariff Bill,

In the House Of Representatives yesterday
during the tariff debate Mr.. Crisp ssid that
the pro.ectionists seemed to have worked
themselves up to the belief that 1t was pos
sible to devise wey OF obiainipg money for
the support of this government By collect
ing something from the people of foreign
governments. It was ehsdrd to make g
proposition Of this sort. No man of siDceri-
ty would question tho proportion that the
people of the UniJed States alone paid every
dollar that went into the treasury. Tho ma
jority of the Ways aud Means Committee,
said Mr.. Crisp, was pledged 10 the priuci-
Piles of protection. and offered sop to the
farmer. 1t said 10 the farmer that it had
put duty on his products, when the truth
was that that would do him DO good. The
way to benefit the farmer was to give him
free salt, 10 give him free cotton ties and to
reduce the price of the utcesssries of life.
1t was generally believed that the protected
industries had put together great cam
paign fund bv which they bought the blocks
of FIVE" and 500 men to vote to carry ont
tanned money aud place in this way they
now prof. osed to refuod that money In the
shape of en- illegal and a, just tax.
Fir. Payne argued 10 support of the bill,
especially of those features which he con
tended would be of benefit to the farmers
In the course of his remarks he stated that
there had appeared before the Ways and
Means Committee members from the other
side who had asked fer protection. There
had come before it representative from
Virginia who had advocated duty on ST.
mac, saying that II the committee put duty
upon 1t he would privstely bless it, though
he would have to vote against its hill.
Mr.. OFsrrsl inquired who the Repre-
sentative was.
Mr.. Payne-"I have no objection in telling
you. Il wss your collesgue-Gen. Lee"
Mr.. O'Ferrali suggested that bis colleague
was not present, and that the gentleman
should not have alluded to him in his sb-
sence. His colleague. if present, would be
able to speak for himself.
The debate was continued both during The
evening and at the night session.
