reviews the speech in detail ands With re-
solution declaring that 'the House dsaming
it a high duty that the courtesy
and decorum required by parlia-
mentary laws and practice should

members at all times In their official rela-
tons, hereby expressed its disapproval OF
| the parliamentary language uasd by Hon.
Joseph II. Walker, representative from the
state Of Massachusetts. in that portion of
his speech printed in the Record OF March
IL, but was not delivered on the floor, and
considering it impracticable to separate ths
unparliamentary portions OF the speech
| from such parts es may be parliamentary:
"ResoIued, That tho public printer is directed

| Record all of that portion of his speech begin
ming with the words, Hot shot for mugwumps,'
etc, 10 the words Tor the ear marks are on it,
This includes all tho undelivered portion
of the speech. Mr.. Richardson asked that

tunity.
MONEY FOR TIE ARMY.
The House then went into committee of
the whole, with Mr.. Wilson of Virginia In
the chair, on the army appropriation bill.
A long parliamentary argument ansued
upon the point of order raised by Mr.. Grain
of Texas against the provision of the bill
that hereafter no money appropriated for
army transportation shall be used In the
payment Of transportation Of troops and
supplies Of the army over the non-aided
lines owned, controlled or operated by the
Union Pacific Railroad Company, or by the
Southern Pacific Company over the lines
embraced in its Pacific system.
The chairman sustained the point of
order, his principal ground for his decision
being that the proviso made q permanent
law.
Mr.. Outhwaite offered az amendment
making the same provision, but making 1t
applicable only to the present bill. This
was agreed to, and the committee having
arisen the bill was passed.
THE FREE WOOL BILL
The House then went into committee OF
the whole on the free wool bin.
Mr.. Goodnight of Kentucky assailed the
protection system.
Mr.. Snodgrass of Tennessee consumed
his time in an opposition to the bill donating
s., 200, 900 to the worlds fair.
Mr.. Warner of New York argued that
under the protective tariff system the price
of mutton had gone down, down, down,
until from being one of the most prosperous
industries Of this country, the raising
of wool had become one that every
prudent man would avoid. Some of Mr..
|
Mr.. Dingley, and these gentlemen INDUCED
in a tariff dialogue for some time.
WIDER MARKET NEEDED.
Mr.. Wheeler of Alabama said it was the
duty Of congress TO revise the tariff laws so
as to add to the prosperity of all the people.
That to increase the price of labor, whether
of farm or factory, we must increase the
demand for the products of labor, and that
, can only be done by extending the market
ANA H.
Democratic policy. American farms
, and factories now produce from
: one-third to one-half the staple products OF
the world, while her population is but one
: twenty-dfth. and if her rate Of progress il
/ continued she will soon produces from one
, half Co two-thirds Of the staples of the
, world. This condition imperatively de-
. mands that foreign markets be opened fol
3 our increasing surplus instead of the repub
lican idea OF Chinese exclusion.
' EFFECT OF DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS.
!, Mr.. Wheeler read from the report Of the
+ American Iron and Steel Association TO
show that from the election of President
a Cleveland all iron, steel and kindred indus
1 tries languished in Great Britain and in
. every country in Europe and that the con
g dition grew worse each year until Secretary
= Blaine on his European tour promised
republican success and with 1t America
n non-intercourSe with the markets of the
a world. This assured them sof practica
freedom from Anne rican competition. auC
. from that moment the languishi lg indus
. tries of England and the continent took
. new life, and during the next two years tue
products of their factories, furnaces ant
!. mines exceeded that of any former period
:. while the United States under the MoKin.
# ley bill was suffering most severe depres
r sion.
"a A FALLING OFF IN PRODUCTION.
Last year the production Of pig iron fl
the northern states was 100000 tons les
than in the preceding year. The production
of steel rails fell from over Q 900, 600 tont (,
, ], 1888. SSS tons, and nearly all other indus
tries suffered IN proportion. The Iron
Trade ReUieC of March II states tina

m IA furnaces produce more thar
, 100000 tons a year, which indicates tina
s. this year we may look for a much create
y reduction. The southern states are, on &C
