POLITICAL DEATH.
Mr.. Ray Says that Broken Promises Mean
Disaster for Democrats.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE House
today went into committee of the whole
on the free wool bill. Mr. Brookshire Of
Indiana said that Mn Blaine's so called
reciprocity scheme and the tax upon raw
wools were two of the most eminent fall
lacies by which the protective system
sought to be maintained. 1t was not
AGRICULTURAL products the people of South
America wanted. In the main. they
wanted manufactured goods. The
scheme of reciprocity fell far short of
developing necessary markets for the sur
plus of agriculture. Tt was but an artful
contrivance for the perpetuation of the
most selfish, oppressive and unjust sys-
tenn of taxation ever fastened upon free
people.
Mr.. Ray of New York said the Demo-
cratic party's cry was that it wanted free
raw materials. Wool was classed by his
Democratic friends as raw material. They
ignored the fact that eight-tenths of the
value of pound of wool represented
human labor and skill. :. When they i'm
ported wool free of duty, American farm
ers and laborers would be thrown out of
employment, and foreign farmers and
laborerS paid the money ours ought to
receive. Political death stared more
than half the Democratic members in
the face. The political kindergarten from
Massachusetts had promised sound fnan-
ces and an honest dollar. The sockless
statesman from Kansas had promised a
a cartload of cheap money to every con-
stituent free of cost. These promises
the Democratic party could not fulfill.
No Quorum Again.
At tonight's session only five mem
bers were present. The point Of no
quorum was made and sustained, and
after tedious wait the House adjourned.
This is the third pension evening when
the House has adjourned without enact
ing single pension BILL Friends of
pension legislation threaten to secure the
repeal of the rule preventing all night
sessions. A Democratic caucus has
been called for tomorrsa evening.
