NEW YORK, July 2i-The World prints
the following as ex-President Harrison's
expression on the existing depression:
"The Sherman act is not the sole cause of
the bad times That measure has served
its purpose it is true but it is not respon-
sible for the depression which overhangs
commerce, trade and agriculture The
present party in power came in on a state

promulgated at Chicago, where a gather
ing which represented a diversity of poll
tical beliefs and prejudices gave this state
ment to the country as the platform of the
Democratic party. 1t was announced to
the country that the existing system of
tariff should be modified to the extent of
tariff for revenue only On this basis
the candidates of the party now in power
were elected The enormous manufac-
turing interests were of course duly i'm
pressed and became compelled to suit
themselves to the condition to which the
Chicago platform must logically lead

Mr.. Marsh, however, declared that he

Dlr. Bland insisted that Mr.. Burrows
should be limited to thirty minutes also.
MIR. Burrows courteously renewed his
request for forty minutes and Mr.. Bland
again objected. Mr. Burrows politely
stated to the speaker that, if he was to
be limited TO five minutes, he would de-
cline the recognition which had been so
kindly accorded him, and would not
speak. This announcement was greeted
with round of applause from the Re-
publican members, and Mr.. Burrows

Is there any question that gold will dis

He had heard it intimated by the gem

If the Democratic party did not con-

it had legislated so as TO secure it. For

HOUSE RULES.
One Hundred a Quorum-A Check
to Eilibustering

WASHINGTON, Aug 25.-This after
noon Representative Catchings reported
to the house the code of rules agreed
upon by the committee OH rules for
governing she proceedings of the Fifty
third congress. The code will
come up for action in the house
OH Tuesday. The old rules are
readopted with no important changes,
except the provision that 100 shall be a
quorum of the committee of the whole
house, and that committee may limit
debate without going back into the
house. The rule providing that there
shall be no filibustering against a
report of the committee on rules,
and that the committee on rules may
bring IN an order fixing the time
for vote on ANY proposition, are re
tanned. The latter provision was not
put in force in the last congress, for the
reason that it was adopted with the un-
derstanding that it would never be ap-
piled except when asked for by a ma
jority of the Democrats in the house.
This time it goes into the rules with no
such restrictions upon it.
