Congressman Tucker made splendiu
sneech last night upon the tarin bill' 10
which he pledged his hearty support al
though charging that a number oil the

| and the Republicans upon the theory OF
| tariff taxes. arraigning the Republicans
| for tariff for protection, and advocatns
the Democratic policy OF tariff levied Tor
| revenue solely.
| Under the Mckinley bill he said,

should be exempted. He cited that these
vessels carried neither freight nor passen'
gers. and paid splendid tribute 10 the in
telligence. manhood. and absolute ability
of these captains TO manage ana contro
| their own vessels
