MORRILL, GROWS BITTER.
Says the Democrats Compromised
With Their Principles.

Washington. April Ex-senator Nor
rilI today spoke on the tariff bill He
expressed regret that the financial and
industrial crisis should be continued
in a vainglorious attempt to carry out
the Democratic platform.
He made biting references to the
trouble of the Democrats among them
selves over the bill, and pointed to the
items in which they compromised with
their principles. Concerning the rates
reported in the bill, he declared the
Senate finance committee fixed them
without the votes of the Republican
members and against the votes of the
Democratic minority, so tariff for
revenue only proves to be "only
political tariffs void after the next
election"
The special evil Of the bill he thought
to be the obsolete ad valorem system
and purchases especially destructive
of the productions of the farmers. The
reciprocity arrangements which were a
benefit TO the farmers would be abrO-
gated and the income tax was an
unusual blunder even for the Demo-
cratic administration to make. Should
the bill ever become a law, the world
would regret it, because of the calami-
ties with which it's chapters are preg-
nant.
Senator Morrill,, after speaking sixty
five minutes, concluded his remarks at
2:05 o'clock and Immediately left the
Senate.
Senator Mills gave notice that on
Tuesday next he would submit some
remarks on the tariff.

Indiana, spoke in support of the tariff

tariff on the agricultural interests, in
Producing the topic by the assertion
that agriculture was a monopoly for
America owing to the cheapness of the
land, and it was from the farmers that
the demand for repeal was loudest.
After Senator Turpie concluded, Sen
ator Cameron, Of Pennsylvania, took
the floor in opposition to the bill.
Following Senator Cameron, his col
league, Senator Quay, continued his
speech begun last Saturday, discuss
ing the production of iron.
At o'clock, in accordance with the
terms of the agreement of last week,
which was renewed yesterday, Mr..
Quay suspended the second INSTALL
ment of his speech. 1t is to be con-
tinued at a later date.
Arising to a question of privilege,
Senate Caffery, of Louisiana, denied
that he was an obstructiOnist and not
in harmony with his party. He should,
he said, actively support the vote on
the tariff bill as amended by the SEN
ate finance committee.
Commander E. W. Dickens, of the
United States navy, who attended
