BERLIN, Nov. Is Copyright, 1891, by
the New York Associated Press. THE
debate In the reichstag on the bud
get to-day was unwontedIy lively. After
Herr Bunl CNational LioeraD spoke In
defense Of the policy pursued by Bismarck
as chancellor and commented adversely
upon the course adopted by Caprivi, Herr
Bebel, Socialist leader, criticised the rapid
increase of the imperial debt and the army
and navy appropriations. He commended il
was inevitable In the event Of war that a
number Of German states should become
bankrupt. How, he asked, could such i'm
mense masses Of troops be long moved
and feda Expressions recently had been
used which conveyed to these masses
OF soldiers the idea that they might
be employed not only against forefgn-foa
but also against
AN ENEMY WITHIN THE EMPIRE.
Agltated murmurs from every part of the
house followed this allusion to the recent
utterance Of the Emperor. Herr Bebel
continuing, said with every thousand new
recruits social democracy was being more
and more strongly infused into the army.
AS Chancellor Won CapriVi had pictured
the journalists as only propagators of I'M
rest, he felt bound to say many orators
were also engaged in the work OF agitation.
and cited as an instance the speech recently
delivered at Erfurt by this parsonage. AT
this point the voice of the president, Count
Ballestrom, interrupted the speaker, refus-
ing to allow the Emperor's speech to be
subjected to criticism. Herr Bebel said he
would lesve his comparisons In the hands
OF the public, who well knew 1t was not
journalism that spread the feeling OF unrest
through the country.
touching the protectionist policy, he
said the heavy tariffs imposed by the gov
eminent, coupled with the military ex-
pendltures, created enormous economic
difficulties. The slight reduction IN the
corn duties in the treaty of commerce with
Austria was not sufficient to Offset the
want of proper nourishment from which
millions suffer, the result being an enor-
nous
INCREASE on DISEASE, MORTALITY AND
CRIME.
The structure of the middle class of society
Bebel continued, was built in a swamp. in
which 1T was slowly sinking, probably to
make room for another and better social
organization. The country had got rid of
one enemy, social reform, when Bismarck
was driven from power.
Here Count Ballestrom again called Be-
bel to order, declaring the expressions
used in connection with the ex-chancellor's
name could not bs permitted, being di-
rected against an absent member of the
house. Bebe1 replied Bismarck had not
yet taken his seat in the house, and pro-
ceeded with his denunciation Of the gov
eminent, which he said was following as
far as it dared in Bismarck's footsteps.
