 WAsHINGToN, March 9.-McMlllan spoke for an hour and a half. then Dingley of Maine took the floor to reply on behalf of the minority of the way | and means committee.
 Dlngley rIuiculed the democrats for their failure to do more than attack three little items of the Mckinley tariff out of 2oOO, after threats and promises to sweep every line and word of this "un holy tarltf" from the statute books and substitute the measure of tariff reform from which shall be eliminated all ''cIass legislation" "all robbery" all protection. These three little bills" said Dingley embrace all the tariff refor m of the dem ocratlc majority of l4O nas to offer in redemption of all the pledges and prom ises made before the last election. Voters who have been cheated once would like to know if they have a right to be informed now, and here by l4O democratic majority.
 This IS exactly the kind of a tariff bill the democracy would substitute for the existing Mckinley tariff. People demand that this democratic house shall present such measures as they pro- fess to be ready to substitute for the Mckinley tariff before election, not af- ter. They ask that they may have a chance to express an opinion on 1t, and not after 1t is too late. The fact is that democratic leaders have not and will not prevent such a complete tariff meas ure as IS practically the confession that they dare not let people see what they propose to do.
