Mr.. Hoar's Views.
When the six hours closing debate com
menced Mr.. Hoar spoke first. Referring to
/ break down If possible the practice Of for
eign nations imposing an export duty
on products used here. These goods should
be excluded altogether if they could moi
be supplied from elsewhere
Senator Hiscock Speaks.
Senator Hiscock made a bitter assault
upon the Democratic senators who, he said
/ had with the aid of English, French and
l..
| fight to degrade American labor and bank
rupt American capital. There never had
been time within his knowledge when
/ foreign agents had such a free access to
committee rooms and were so active in
/ furnishing aid to American representatives
| in order to retard the progress Of wise
/ legislation. And yet the representatives
of the Democratic party, with an unparal.
leled audacity, proclaimed that the motive
which actuated them was the elevation OF
American labor and the prosperity OF
| American industries and of the common
country.
Senator Gibson then took the floor He
claimed that under the tariff bill the whole
sugar crop of Louisiana had been sacrificed
for the benefit of the sugar trust. The
loss to Louisiana would be nearly 81, ,5OO,O 600
Senator Turpie on Labor.
Mr.. Turpie spoke extensively upon tht
relations of laboring men to the tariff
| He admitted that the laborers Of Europe
were often very lily paid in some lines, but
/ in the United States they were also often
very wretchedly paid. If American wages
/ were superior to wages in other countries
it was a subject for rejoicing but it was nc
reason why the American laborer should
| be subjected to unnecessary exactions OF
| TO unjust taxation. Wages in the United
| States might be much higher than il
Europe, and yet be much lower than jus
tice or equity required.
They did not depend on tariff legislation
| protective or prohibitory. They did moi
depend on any legislation. The influence
| of the movement of John Burns and his
dockmen of the Thames was not confined
to London, to England, or to the United
States Ii had been felt by free labor
everywhere. Applying his remarks to the
tariff bill, Mr.. Turpie said that that bill
was bill of attainer against wages. II
was bill calculated to diminish the means
of the laborer's subsistence and therefore
to diminish his means of resistance to the
| opposition and injustice with which he was
always threatened bya reduction of wages
AS the bill was the worst of tariff laws, Sc
it would be the last that would under the
guise of protection to the American laborei
tax him for the benefit of exclusive priv
ileges and strip labor Of its earnings, and
finally of its rights. He believed most
firmly that the law would not be perma
nent either in its administration or its
principle.
MIR. Vests Respects to MIR. Hiscock.
Mr. Vest was the next speaker He sale
he would not emulate the example of the
senator from New York (Mr. Hiscock) anC
follow him into the domain of epithet and
vituperation. That senator had charged
the Democratic party with being the party
of ruffianism and crime and had charged
Democratic senators with being charltans
demagogues, dishonest pretenders and
habitual slanderers. The Democrati,
party and every gentleman in it coult
treat that senator's assertion with con
tempt For a century in peace and in war
in sunshine and shadow, its flag haC
fi0ated in every township, county and state
in the Union, and would continue to floa
until the country itself ceased to exist
Mr.. Vest characterized the bill as the
elimination Of what was called the pro
tective principle in this country, and as {
glaring illustration Of the historic truth
that class legislation never receded. HI
congratulated the country on the passage
OF the bill, because he believed that thu
sooner the crisis was reached the better i
would be for the cou airy and all its mate
rial industries
