Its Iniquities.
HIS MAsTERLY ARGUMENTS.
Senator Hill In ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS More I'M
pOrtant than Candidates-New York
Will 60 Democratic.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-McKinley is
out of Congress, but the principal speaker
in the House to-day on the tariff, in person,
feature, voice and gesture was SO like him
that an old-time member might fancy be
was in Congress again. The comparison
ended with the appearance of the speaker,
however, for Bryan, OF Nebraska, the pro-
totype of Mckinley, attacked the law which
the latter framed. Bryan's speech revived
the tagging interest in the tariff discussion
IL was the feature of the day, and as he
warmed up, gossipers in the CLOAK rooms
returned TO the hall and he soon had the
careful attention of majority of the
House. The Republicans interrupted
Bryan with number of knotty questions
favoring their side, but the manner in
which they were parried showed the
speaker to be cool and collected He was
down Tor two hours, but the House gave
him a third and wanted him to keep on
Joseph, of New Mexico, reported a bill
for the adm ssion of New Mexico as state
and Smith, Of Arizona, made a similar re-
port regarding Arizona. The bills were
placed on the calendar.
In committee of the whole Savers of
Texas, spoke on the free wool bill, and was
followed by Bryan, of Nebraska. Bryan
agreed with the majority committee of the
ways and means that the tariff bill should
be attacked in detail. The pend
ing bill brought disadvantage to
nine men, the tenth enjoying the advant-
age OF collecting money from the other
nine. There had been time in Nebraska
hen the people had one sheep per capita.
That day was passed. Now if every
woman in the state named Mary wanted a
pet l. NIB she would have to go outside the
state to get enough to go around.
Laughter
After reviewing binding Irvine and cot
ton ties bill, Bryan concluded: 1.-The
country has nothing to fear from the Dem
ocracy on the tariff question. 1t means q
more equal distribution of the great ad-
vantages OF the country. 1t means that
the men who produce the wealth shall re-
tain large share OF it; it means enterprise
will be employed in natural, profitable in
dustries, not unnatural, unstable in
dustries means more constant employment
| Tor abor and better pay; it means maxi
mum of product for minimum of toll ~ it
means commerce with other countries and
ships TO carry 1t on; it meas prosperity
everywhere, not by piece meal. 1t is for
this reason the country's young men are
coming to the Democratic party, as Mr..
Clarkson, that high Republican authority
declared. II is because we are right, and
right will triumph. The day will come,
and soon, 1 trust, when wiser economic
politics will prevail than that to which the
Republican party is welded; when laws
shall be made for sill and net for few; when
those who annually congregate about the
capital seeking to use the taxing
power for the purposes Of private greed,
will have lost their occupation when the
boundaries of the government be equally
distributed and it's benefits likewise. When
that day comes Democracy will be king.
Long live the king" Loud applause.
The advocates of the Mckinley bill
thought the people bound hand and foot
Where were the conspirators to-day?
Where were the men who were largely in
strumental in fixing that inquisiCious legis-
lation on the people!
A Voice-Who is governor of Ohio?
Bryan believe one did succeed in being
elected governor of Republican state by a
minority vote. Laughter. To such ex-
tremes has this great Caesar come 1t well
comes the holding of a Republican state
more than before it greeted the conquest of
an empire Applause and laughter.
AS Bryan took his seat he was warm ly
congratulated. Adjourned.
