In ths debate which followed a speech by Mr..
Palmer was remarkable for the advanced posi-
tion taken by tho Illinois Senator IN malhthlh-
ing the right Of factory and railroad employees
20 continuous employment AT fehSohapiy iaH
rates Of compensation.
Mr. VoOrhees's speech on tho same subject was
made up rincpAlly of an attack on the hepuD-
hcan party and its policy OF hiZh protcctl0n, 10
which he aecribed the crop OF aDor rlOts al over
the country. Ho WAS replied 10 by Mr. Hale,
who criticised him for converting such grave
matter as tho Homestead conflict INTO q ques-
ton Of partisan politics; detelied the hepuDh-
can paffy nom all responsibility Tor thht con-
ni,.f and assumed for that party and lts poicy
of Drotection the credit OF the building up or
such great industrial establishments as th0se at
Homestead and Bethlehem. "a.
The resolutions were reierrc d 70 thc Somtnttoo
