Delter Dill so long as Lutle was any nope
of obtaining it, But when the conferees
on tho part Of tho house, in whom VIC
have the utmost confidence, who are fuinil-
far With all tho facts, toll ms that, in thoir
Judgment we must take this bin or b.
rcmittcd 10 tho penalties of tho Mckinley
bin do not hesitate moment ! take
the senate amendments.
IF thore Is q ~ugnr trust IN this coun.
try which is dominating legislation, the
Republican party created it. Applause.
And though this bill does not destroy that
trust as wo wish So did it takes away
moro than one half Of the protection ac-
corded to that trust Applause II
there is a coal combine, the legislation
Of the Republican party built It up, and
although we do not make coal free in this
bill we reduce the duty from 70 cents &c
40 cents.
IF thcro is a steel and iron combine,
the slme remark applies Going through
these schedules, whilo thoy arc not all We
wish, they are (and we want the country
20 understand it) the host we can now get
The moment we get this we intend 60
move forward. We DO not intend there
shall be any backward step in tariff re-
form. Loud applause. We believe that
the adjournment Of this congress without
tho passage OF some tariff dill would be a
blow to tariff reform from which it would
not recover for years TO come
As the speaker closed Mr. Cochran IN.
Y. excitodly arose and asked TO make "a
statement OF personal privilege. There
was great confusion
The chair declined to recognize the priv
ilege as contrary TO the special rule. Cat
calls came from tho Republican side,
among thom sugar has gone up four
points"
Mr.. Cochran persisted I'm his demand
for privileged statement, and with some
aspcrity he said with reference to the
speakers reflections upon his absence that
sit was an evidence Of tho growth Of the
Georgia chiyalry since Alexander Stevens
was replaced in the spoakership by the
present occupant OF the chair
Tho speaker disclaimed any intonton
of rejecting on Mr.. Cochran, but tho IN
cidont caused much confusion, and It was
some minutes before order could be TO
stored
After this exciting scono Mr.. Wilson
arose and corrected a statement no made
in his opening remarks TO tho effect that
500, 600, 600 worth of raw sugar had been
purchased by the Sugar trust in anticlpa-
tion of the passage of the sugar schedule
of the senate bill. Ho had been mistaken,
he altorward learned. The trust had pur-
chased 4iS, 600 tons.
How much is that in dollars and
| contsYn called "a member
About $25, 600, 600, " replied Mr. Nc
Mnlin.
In conclusion Mr. Wilson said this.w
not a time for Democratic enthusiasm. II
was plain Democratic necessity, but If thS
| Democratic party was to live, If It did
| live, IL would not lay down its weapon,
until it had made It impossible in thii
country to lay burdens on ono class of oui
oitizens for the enrichment of another

The Democrats evidently sought TO hur
| ry through by not using their 10 minute
| of time. Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio occupied
five minutes. Then Mr. Payne OF New
York spoke Of the triumphs Of tho Suga
| trust
Questions recurrod on tho passage o
