SENATE.

On motion of Mr.. Morrill,, the House bill
providing for the classification of worsted
cloths SIS woolens was taken up for consid'
Grafton and debated at length.
Mr.. Gray said worsted cloths formed q
vary large element of the clothing of the
country and produced (at comparatively
reasonable cost o useful and comfortable
end decent and respectable garment, within
the reach OF the classes that were not
wealthy. He saw no reason why such q
burden es the bill covered should now be
laid on these classes.
The consideration of the silver bill haa,
By unanimous consent, been postponed until
Monday, when it will be taken up, not to
be laid aside until final action is had.
The worsted bill will be disposed of FIRST,
and then the appropriation bills-army,
military academy and pension. Saturday
will be reserved for the calendar.
HOUSE.
After the reading OF the journal the House
went into committee of the whole Mr.. Pay
son, of Illinois. in the chair on the tariff
bill.
Mr.. Dockery, OF Missouri, said that the
present system OF taxation did not restrict
the revenue to the needs Of the government
was shown by the surplus in the treasury
which had compelled the Treasury Depart
ment to purchase bonds, paying therefor q
premium of 100000. But the surplus
was only an incidental burden. The sub
stsntial burden was the oppressive taxation
OF the people. He favored the enlarging OF
thu markets for agricultural products and
the unsheckIiGg of life's daily needs from
unnecessary and paralyzng taxation. In
the last campaign the republican party
claimed that the farmers would be
benefited by protection. Yet, after the
republican victory, the depression in
agriculture was greater than ever. Tc-
day in every western city and town
there were signs reading Eastern money to
loan on im proved farms" In order to show
that the farmers met with no competition
from foreign countries, be instsnced the ex-
portation OF 90 100000 bushels of wheat and
the Importation of 1916 bushels of seed
wheat. And yet (ssrcastically) the McKin-
ley bill wac to relieve the farmer from this
competition. The same was true of corn
and other farm products. He then submit
ted an argument in favor of Tree wool and
reduction of duty on the manufactured
products. In his State there were 1 .000. 600
more people than sheep, and between the
sheep and The people, his sympathy was
with the people.

The Tariff Debate.

As stated in the GsZErTE the tariff debate
was begun in ;he House OF Representatives
yesterday, Mr.. Mckinley starting off in
favor Of the bill. Pilins up e bewideripl
array of statistics showing the increase @
the Uuied States In production and manu-
factures, he ascribed 1t all TO the bensfcent
inauerces of tho protective tariff.
Mr.. Mills, of Texas, followed. He dc
clared that this was the first bill that had
ocme before the American people with liz
mask torn off like highwayman demand
ing their purses. Applause To cheek
mportation was 10 check expectation
Split hairs ss you may, no man could show
hat we might sell without buying. When
we refused to take the products o! other ne.
tons, that refusal was an Introduction
against our exports, and as we removed the
barrier to free exchange we increased our
trade. Protection, boiled down, meant
more work and less result; and carried out
to its conclusion it meant ell work and no
RESULT.
Mr.. Mills, in his remarks, showod the ut.
ter absurdity of producing the figures OF
agricultural imports. There were only
1900 bushels Of corn imported in The United
States last year, and there is no earthly
probability that the amount will be in
creased. What benefit can 1t be to the
farmer TO impose duty on wheat and corn
and rye when not one Of them is imported
or is ever likely to be in appreciable quanti-
ties? If the farmers can be deceived wiih
such false pretenses, while at the came time
an additional tax is put on everything
they consume it may we'll be askeS wheth
er they ydeserve any sympathy. He ssid !:
Tho industries of the country had developed
until they produced fifteen per cont. mora than
couli be consumed in this country. The surplus
was constantly increasing and the question was
what Congress wss going TO do about 1t. The
democratic way was to lot 6own the barriers and
let the surplus go cut to tho people who wanted It,
and tako from other people what they did
not want and We did. 1hcic was but one way for
this country to enter into the contest with tho
world, and that WAS 10 lay aside every weight
that doth beset her. The people wanted foreign
ma rl;ct and they we're going TO have it. Discuss
ing the sugar bounty clause, he said that the
p3cple who raised corn and wheat and rye would
st p up 70 the courtor and say, I'VE will take
some sugar in ours" The democrats were opposed
10 snbsidios The republicans might pass their
bill, but it ha1 he'll gate to 60 through aftor it
loft tho House and Senate Applause. There
was whirlpool beneath tho surface of the waters
upon when the little craft II atod Tho Ameri
can people were long suffering, but there WAS
time when distrc's was supreme that the man
stood with his eyes open and Was bound to step
forth for his own dcliverance.
At the ovcung session this tariff debate was re
sumcd. Mr.. Donncl opened for the bill, and
Mr. Stewart (Ga.) followed in opposition. Mr.
Post also spoke FIR tho bill, whilst MIR. Ellis said
the bill was in the interest OF tho manufactures
