The tariff law is being violently
attacked by the Republican party
and defended by the Democrats.
Sugar is yet quoted at its last
price. The papers are filed with
reports of an alleged domestic
trouble in the Vanderbilt family
which, if true, concerns nobody
except the parties involved.

The lsspars anata mnch from
the Count of Paris last political

A PATRIOTIC SOUTHERNER
Saws Carlisles Bill Would Wipe Out the
the Last vestige of the Democratic

"A IA u KtOIIC oOO
Saws Carlisies Bill Would Wipe Out the
the Last vestige of the Democratic
Party.
Washington, December 21.-The House In
committee of the whole. considered the cur
rency and banking BILL. Mr.. Russell, Re-
publican of Connecticut, opposed the BILL.
It was, he said intended to kill the
national system of banking and currency.
II was distinctly and emphatically a Demo-
cratic measure. No such plan was suggested
uItil after the late election, and it was
drawn to favor that section of the country
in which until that time it was supposed
the Democratic party was impregnably and
forever intrenched.
Mr.. Siekles, Democrat of New York, was
the next speaker. He expressed the hope
that the Democratic party would signalize
its possession of power by the adoption OF
a permanent and solid measure of currency
reform which should place the finances OF
the country substantially on the basis
where they rested before the war. He dis
cussed the causes of the drain Of gold from
the treasury ana said the remedy for that
and other financial evils was the adoption
of some safe scheme for the withdrawal of
every dollar of paper currency now in cir
culation.
MI. McLauren. Democrat of South Caro-
lima. protested against the passage of the
bill. ''There is not" he said. "a single
principle of democracy in its entire pro-
visions, nor a solitary demand ever put
forth by the National Democratic conven-
tion. The Democratic party for years asked
the people for chance to bring peace and
prosperity to their doors. Two years ago
the request was granted. Not single
pledge was redeemed. nor a single promise
kept. The entire machinery of the party
was placed in the hands of that class of in
diyiduals who had been in the past. and
are now the curse of the great plain people
that if the bill becomes a law the people at
vestige of the Democratic party. This is
nofSecretary Carlisle's bill. That GENTLE
man is simply a stalking horse for Wall
street.
The committee rose and Mr.. Spring eI
briefly explained the substitutes he would
offer at the proper time for the. pending
time, To expediate the consideration of the
bill. MI Walker, Republican of Massachu-
setts, suggested that the bill just read be
substituted at once for the pending bill.
but this was not agreed to. 1t was agreed
that it should be printed in bill form and
published in the record. Unanimous con-
sent was given for members to print re-
marks on the currency bill in the rec ord at
any time during the session. The House
at O'Clock adjourned.
