Arizona weekly citizen., 1893-09-16


The act, said the senior senator from
Colorado, had been made the scape
goat No senator had declared that in
his judgment the present deplorable
condition was caused by the Sherman
act. 1t vas pusillanimous to yield to
public clamor, gotten up by interested
parties, and repeal an act that senators
admitted had nothing to do with bring
ing about the condition and whose
repeal could not remove the cause,
except as the giving of bread pill to
patient might make him think he was
getting well. A bread pill given to a
sick man could not possibly improve
his condition.
There was a cause for the difficulty,
declared Mr.. Teller. 1t was the course
of widom for senators to address them
selves to the cause and not be carried off
their feet by public clamor, Oy news
papers, by gibes and threats and be
compelled to do that which they knew
would not bring the people that which
they deserved and which they desired.
To show the fallacy of the opinion
that the Sherman act was responsible
for the distress, Mr.. Teller cited trade
reports to the effect that the year 1892
WAS one of the most prosperous in the
history of the nation. The Sherman act
had then been on the statute book two
years. The prosperity Of the country
during 1890, 1891, and 1892 and until a
very recent time was an absolute
refubation of the charge that the act
had brought disaster to business
| enterprise in this country. The present
| distress was net confined 70 the United
| States: it had been felt IN Great Britain,
Germany and other countries.
Mr.. Voorhees,, democrat. Indiana,
said Mr.. Teller rad signitied to him be-
fore starting, that he was suffering from
some inconvenience on account OF
| trouble with his vocal organs, and # It
| was agreeable to the senator from
Colorado he would move an executive
session.
The motion was agreed to and after
AN executive session the senate adj
lourned.'
