House it appropriated $3.50, 535 The
senate had increased the amount by

Item which occupied the conference long

senators on the other side of the chamber

anxiety of Senators on both sides to ar

Morgan said the tariff bill as manipulated
by the Republican conferees in both houses
uau many new features which neither the
rouse nor the Senate had voted upon: but
IL was impossible to go into discussion of
the changes. They were all of real i'm
portance TO the people, but the parlia
mentary law applicable to the present
stage OF the bill denied Senators the
privilege OF separate vote on any one of
the numerous changes. All that could be
done was TO discuss in general way the
principles On which the measure was
founded. The only great leading principle
OF the bill was higher taxation of the peo-
pie and greater profits to those engaged in
manufactures.
In the early part of his speech, Morgan
commented upon some remarks made 5v
Hiscock during the tariff debate rejecting
upon the south and southern Senators. He
SAID 1t was not the state Of New York that
sent that Senator to the Senate.
but gerrymandering. He (Hiscock)
was the child of gerrymander.
The language of his debate. Nor
gan said, was in good New York style. The
soul of the Senator had set Before the
mirror when he drew the picture. 1t did
not show what the southern men had done.
but reflected on what would have been the
senator's conduct and feelings if he had
suffered what they had been compelled to
suffer. The south was merely mute victim
OF the tariff bill. After an allusion to the
English corn laws he spoke of Blaine as the
new Golden, and the President as the re-
surrected John Bright. Both demanded

Ideas OF the President and Blaine had been
voted for by every Democratic Senator
and against by every Republican, including
the Senator who offered III. That amend
ment had been, in every substantial sense
the amendment of Blaine, but the amend
meut subsequently reported from the
finance committee had been intended to
supplant and overlie it. The latter was n
vaccination given to the body of the bill in
order to forestaA the fatal virus of free
trade which Blaine contended was mock
cry Oh reciprocity that made actual rcci-
procity impossible, and yet Blaine re
proached the Democratic Senators with
groundless and insulting destinations be-
cause they voted against the amend

had been successfully antagonized

very small baby; that it could not live
long; that was a little doll with which the

amuse the crowd while the jokers were
growing rich by so selling their old stock

ana very sad that any American statesman
should so under value the common sense of
the Americans as to pretend TO them that
