JnUJ H6f6 Euuu mUuEH might be vel
fpsnt to TINT end. He believed that il
the house conferees did their duty and
the house did its duty, that q bill hon.
orsbls for the house and senate and &C
csptsbls to the people would be the re-
salt. Such result would not be
brought about by any action that would
notify the senate that if it held out to
q given date the house would instruct
its conferees to recede. If the house
Democrats could propose any plan likely
TO sustain the house bill and assist its
conferees, the latter would welcome it.
Mr.. Bland spoke up with the sugges-
tion that the house would pass bill to
put sugar on the free list and then take ur
the income tax, but as it WAS offered in
. humorous vein no notice was taken OF
1t, and Mr.. Livingstone of Georgia pro.
luton. expressing the confidence of the
matter entirely in their hands.
Then followed q discussion OF the DO.
sition held by che senate and the pros
poets of agreement. Breckenridge of
the ways and means committee rose to
correct any impression which might be
maintained, he said, If not credited,
that any ultimatum had been received
by the house conferees, and ordered by
them.
One OF the Louisiana members argued
that speedy action was necessary, that it
was plain that the senate would not
yield, and then proceeded to pay high
tribute to Senator Mills as pioneer in
tariff reform, and said that this conspic.
nous tariff reformer had personally as
sured him that it was the senate bill or
nothing, and unless the house should
recognize this all tariff legislation would
fail.
Mr.. Cooper of Indiana said senators
around Mr.. Mills had been trying 10
create the impression that nothing but
the senate bill could be passed. and this
might have had its effect on MIR. Mills.
These claims were before made by the
oenators under cover. Now that the
American people had been informed of
the attitude of these senators, they had
been publicly pilloried. They would
have surrendered already if these caucus
movements had not given them the
hope that the house was weakening,
During this discussion Bynum offered
to amend his resolution to extend the
time within which it was designed to
bring about action by the conferees.
Something of sensation was stirred
~ the forging to the front of Speaker
Crisp when the debate was we'll under
way, The speech of Speaker Crisp was
temperate. but very foroible, and it's
logic was so resistless that at its con.
elusion Bynum, the mover of the resolu.
tiQn. withdrew hia motion.
The speaker declared that it was and
had been the purpose of the Democrats
10 redeem the pledges they had made to
The people. The tariff bill had gone to
ponlerence TO be met with the most de-
tsrmined opposition from the senate.
He pointed out the workings OF confer
anoos. long struggles which sometimes
took place over disputed points, and il
)Nptrate6 that with reference to appro.
Driation bills which had been again and
VAIN ssnt to conference, the house refus-

he senate protesting that it would never

1otrecated the passage OF any resolution
