POVERTY DENIED.
Mr.. Dolliver of Iowa made strong speech
In which, in the name of the people he
represented, he repudiated the declaration
that they were poor and impoverished. He
had become weary Of this talk of the de-
pressed condition of the Iowa farmer.
Mr.. Clarke OF Alabama suggested that
the Democratic party had carried the state
of Iowa on platform denouncing high
tariff taxation. He prophesied that when
the bill went TO the Senate It would be so
amended that it would be called the Allison
bill.
A long debate ensued, principally devoted
to consideration Of the subject of
farm mortgages. The discussion oc-
casionally drifted into politics, and
the House was kept IN confusion, en-
tirely good-humored, but so great as to
elicit from the chair a remark
that the recent presence of a
circus in town must have had detrimental
effect on the members. The noise was
so great that it was almost impossible to
understand the drift of the arguments pre-
sented; and when Mr.. Cannon of Illinois
was recognized to attempt to get the COM
mittee back to consideration of the bill, the
chair appealed to the members to be quiet
enough at least to hear one speech, to see
how it would seem. The appeal was re-
sponded to as far as Mr.. Cannon'S remarks
were concerned, but comparative quiet ex-
isted only for few moments.
MMILLIN AS AN ANTAGONIST.
Mr.. McMillin addressed himself to the
bill, antagoniAng an amendment offered by
Mr.. Mckinley providing that on manu-
factures of wool and worsted valued at
not more than 80 cents per pound, shall be
three times the duty imposed on pound of
unwashed wool of the first class and in ad-
dition thereto 40 per cent ad valorem.
The amendment was agreed to.
Mr.. Mckinley offered an amendment
fixing the duty on oriental and Berlin rugs
at 50 cents per square yard and 40 per cent.
ad valorem.
Pending a vote the committee rose, and
at o'clock the House took recess until s
o'clock, the evening session to be for con-
sideration Of private pension bills.
The House at its evening session passed
eleven private pension bills. The only
incident of the evening was the applause
which followed an announcement by Mr..
Caruth of Kentucky that his colleague, Mr..
Carlisle. had been selected by acclamation
as the successor of the late Senator Beck.
The applause was participated in by mem
bers on both sides of the House.
The House then adjourned at 1890 O'Clock.
