time had done good deal for the Repub-
lican side OF the House Under the opera
tion of the Mckinley bill, as part OF the
letter and spirit and purpose OF that bill,
the United States had opened markets
fo- many bushels of wheat and a good
many barrels Of pork.
Mr. Mills opposed the bill and ridiculed
tho reciprocity policy of the present ad-
minislraiion.
n concluding his remarks, Mr.. Mills
lai down the doctrines OF the Democratic
party. quoting from the utteranees of
ihomns jefferson. He affirmed and re-
affirmed that the will of the majority
when expressed was the will OF God But
that will must be reasonable IL must be
rightful IL must by equal laws, protect
the rights OF the minority. That was what
the Democrats were contending for.
Mr.. Hopkins of Illinois opposed the bill
because he was opposed q the policy of
subsidy.
Mr.. Cummings of New York addressed
the committee in advocacy OF the bill, rs
tending 20 build up the American mer-
chant marine and 10 extend the American
commerce. The bill would achieve re-
suits that could not lac achieved by the
