WASHINGTON, April I'm the House
yesterday contrary to expectation, an
aimcable arrangement was reached as
to the limit Of time for the consideration
Of the free wool bill, and the clouds OF
yesterday disappeared.
Mr.. McMillin moved to go into COM
mittee of the whole on the bill, and con-
sentcd TO limit the debate to one and
one half hours, the time to be equally
divided, and asked Mr.. Burrows to ac-
cept it lis a fair compromise.
This arrangement was agreed to.
The House then went into committee
of the whole (Mr, Blount of Georgia in
the chair), the pending motion being
that Of Mr.. Burrows to strike out the
word "wools." This was naturally re-
jectei.
Mr. Otis (Farmers' Alliance) Of Kan.
saS moved to strike out the entire first
section, which inSulted tho wool grow
ers and flock masters of the country.
The second section robbed their pocket
|
cratic ways and means committee
should report such bill. lie would
never vote to place wool on the free list
and tax WOODEN fabrics.
Mr.. Henderson Wep) of Illinois op-
| posed the BILL He said he was unwill-
ing that the producer of wool should not
share IN the benefits Of protection when
wool was put on the free list. 1t was
wrong TO place wool on the free list and
| Tax wooltn goods.
| Mr.. Lind Of Minnesota spoke in a
similar way, and said he believed in
equal protection to all. The price of an
article was fixed by the law of supply
and dem md, not by tariff.
MIR. Lanham Oem.) of Texas favored
the bin, but he advocated comprehen-
alVe bill, thoroughly IefOrmatory In its
| provisions and embracing every sched-
u!e.
Mr.. Babbitt (Dem.) Of Wisconsin fav
ored the measure, and said he had no
| respect for the Republican party. and
that they could not fool the people any
longer.
Mr.. McKelghan Qnd.) Of Nebraska
made pointed speech, favoring the
measure because 1t proposed to place
manufactured goods on the free list and
aDrogated odious specific duties. lie
was opposed to any system of daddy
government. AS farmer he asked
Congress to take its hands off his bust
ness and Leave him alone. [Applause1
If the Democratic party had been logi-
cal and honest on this question, they
would have settled 1t long ago. No
amount OF persuasion or threats by
manufacturers would intimidate a sim
gle member from Nebraska. He said
thaI II the democratic party had been
thoroughly Democratic there would be
no Third party in this country. Laugh
ter
Mr. j. D. Taylor Of Ohio and Mr..
D!ngley of Maine opposed the bill.
Mr.. McAIillin Of Tenn, in charge of
the bill, said that by this bill an oppor-
tunlty WAS presented to the people to
relieve themselves Of a great burden.
Let him who would go back to his con-
stituents and say that he had voted to
Keep tariff on wool at nearly 100 per
| cent. Applause on the Democratic
| side.
All the amendments submitted by the
Republicans to the first section Of the
bin were voted down, and the commit
tee Proceeded with the second section.
Mr.. Breckinridge defended the bi.M,
| and while it was not all that he could
desire, yet 1t was long step in the right
direction. He said that when he was q
| boy pair Of trousers could be patched
and now it was impossible to patch
them-they were not strong enough to
hold patch. Laughter.] The bill
would make good material as cheap as
poor material. He would repeal the
Mckinley bill, the administrative bill,
and start sfrosh with the entire tariff
no matter whether the bill mot with a
veto at the hands Of the President or
not. He was ready to follow the man
who had carried the flag of reduction OF
taxation. TO him he would say "God
speEd." Prolonged applause.j
Mr.. Miliken of Maine opposed the
bill.
Mr.. Boutells (Rep) of Maine opposed
the bill and defended the system OF pro-
lection.
Mr.. Mallory (Dem) Of Florida favor
ed the bill, and opened his remarks
with the quotation: Nero tiddled
while Rome burned" and said that the
Republican party had been indulsing
in jibes, jeers and inuendoes ever since
this bill. was under consideration. The
measure vitally affected every interest
in the country, and he favored reducing
the tariff all along the line.
The debate was devoid of special in
oS'N''o ohu Noo PAAhSlpollJ
for the large number of speakers. The
usual hour for adjournment having al
| rived, an attempt was made to postpone
further consideration of the bill until
tomorrow, but Mr.. McMillin stated the
bill could easily be disposed of in com
mlttec today, and the concluding sec
tions Of the bill were read.
The committee then rose and the bill
was reported to the House with a fav.
orable recommendation.
The House then adjourned until to.
