THE SENATE.
The drift OF Carlisleis speech (which
Wgstlded by facts and hgures) was
hI the Mckinley tariff act has not
Wiihin the twenty seven months COW
tfef by the investigation Of the sub
nlmittesj, reduced Me price Of com
Hflities or increased the wages
d labor; but on the contrary had
iBteffered with and INSTRUCTED
the operation Of the natural laws gov.
onlng the subjects. He ins,ancod
hi,een general occupations Ia unpro-
itcied industries where tho average
nie Of wages had gone up and fifteen
ether trades In the highly protected
Industries where the wages Ind gone
down. On tin plate he asserted that
the Mckinley act had paid not to the
Importer not 10 the government, not
70 dealera, but directly 10 Welsh tin
Plate manufactures s;,621, $50 or more
than half tho value Of the plants Of the
81 lin plate works. The Mckinley
act had proved to be- not for the benefit
q American consumcrs, but Welsh
manufacturers.
Senator Carlisle was followed by Mr..
Proctor, who attacked some OF
Carllslt's positions by quotations from
an interview with Rogers, u Welsh
un'plate manufacturer, tho principal
point Of which was that the election Of
Cleveland would be "a victory for free
Trade, and the effect would be to re-.
luco American wages TO level OF
English wages. sherman and Allison
defended the i<inley act In brief
speeches, and Hawley obtained the
floor Tor tomorrow.
