Mr., Reed made the point of order
that the tariff bill was not IN posses.
sion q the house and therefore the
action proposed IN the report could
not be taken After considerable dis
cusslon Speaker Crisp held that the
resolution was in order and before the
house The previous question was or
de,ed without division
After careful statement Of the sit
uation and the declaration that by Il
special order changing or suspending
the rules of the house temporarily, the
accepted doctrines of JeffcrSon'S man
ual We're carried out, and after citing
a precedent in one OF Speaker Carlisle's
rulings, the speaker oyerruled the
point Of order, The previous question
was then ordered without division
This gave fifteen minutes on a side for
the discussion OF the special order.
Mr. Catcliings, dem, (AIiss.) did not
desire 10 debate the rule and Mr. Reed
took the floor and made very sarcas-
tic speech
You are going to give the country
free sugar said he amid shouts Of re-
publican laughter, Sin your minds" he
added, amid renewed shouts of deri.
sion. ''and free coal and free iron ore
Your are going to be bold and manly as
you have been in this backdown. with
out reference to the committee that
stands between you and the noble pur-
pose that thrills YOU tApplause and
laughter.
The question then being put on
agreeing TO the resolution Mr.. Reed de-
manded division The entire demo-
cratic side rose en- masse but when the
negative vote was called for the repub-
licans sat calmly in their seats, hop
ing to break a quorum
When the speaker announced the
vote 1SS TO 3,twelve more than quor-
UNI, the republicans were somewhat
disconnected
During the first roll call on the rules
committee resolutions some democrats
answered here not voting either way.
Tom JOHNSON of Ohio and Warner Of
New York voted No"
The resolution was finally adopted
1T6 to 81, eleven members answered
simply present.
Representative Mcmillan, one of the
democratic house conferees, gave n
statement more in detail as to the eff
feet of the tariff bill which would be
enacted rs result Of today's action.
He said:
THE effect Of the caucus action will
be to pass the house bill with the sem
ate amendments. Whilst the house bill
is a better measure in my judgment
than this, the measure which would be-
come law instead BY today's action
Is wonderful improvement on the Nc
kinley law. 1t gives free wool. free
lumber, free hemp, flax and iute, and
reduces largely manifold goods into
which all these materials enter
ITO Illustrate: The average duty on
wooden goods under the Mckinley law
is 9S IL per cent. This has been re.
dueed more than half There is con
siderable reduction in all schedules and
the average on all will be about So per
cent. as against about 80 per cent un-
der the present law and in addition to
this are the very great additions to the
free list upon which no tax is collected
at.all. The right Of the president to
impose taxes without congress has
been taken away and given back to the
congress to whom ii belongs and from
whom 1t was wrested by the Mckinley
law.
