unarmed followers are coming here
to lay their grievances before us we
refuse to give them few moments
cine of a few of the Senators in this
Chamber, and are TO forbid them en-
trance even on the Capitol grounds.
Mr.. President. have We not time to
give ear to them? Look in upon
this Chamber it you will two hours
from this time when the tariff discus
sion is going on and probably there
will not be six members of the body
present to hear the speech which is

IN in that way until 5 o'clock, and
probably there are fifty or sixty Sen

ever to their private affairs or to the
public business OF the nation. Il
hope the resolution will be adopted.
