Opposed to the Tariff Bill
Senator Cameron Speaks of the In
Mr.. Quay's Second Speech.

The Senate yesterday afternoon listened
to quartet of tariff takers, one democrat
and three republicans. Senator Morrill, led
off with the one-hour discourse, an extract
of which was printed in The Star of last
evening. Mr.. Turpie followed with a speech
of about the same length, In which he de-
Tended the BILL and scored its democratic
opponents.
Discussing the income tax he said he had
scrutinized the free list schedule and had
not found income in it. Various other
articles were exempt from taxation in both
b:lls-salt, lumber, wool. binding Irvine, &C.,
but not income. There were 100000 of
people liable to pay tax on wool, lumber and
salt, and not more than 100000 on income
He favored free listing millions OF men
rather than millions of money. AS to wool
on the free list he said that he preferred
raising boys and girls in strength and COM
fort to raising the densest fieeces on South
downs or merinos.

He who leaves the party now" said Mr..
Turpie, in conclusion, has never, at heart,
been with us. He will go to his own place.

Cameron on Influences.
Senator Cameron followed with a speech
OF about half an hour, which he read in a
low. quick voice. The interests which were
arrayed in support of the present measure.
he said. as far as 1t tended toward free
trade. were mainly three: First of all, and
most powerful, was that remarkable cosmop-
oiite, monied interest, which belonged to no
country, and more or less ruled all, but
which, whether 1t was found in Europe or
America, or In the remotest corners Of the
earth. had always it's heart its head, it's
energy, its mass in the city of London.
Next came the farmers of the south and
west, who had always by the force of their
magnet, because their market was London
the third influence was that of the class
which. for the want of any other name, he
was obliged to call mugwumps, who grayi-
tated naturally toward what they believed
to be English, and who took their impulse
from the city of London. The American
Congress had been told to destroy silver be-
cause II was mark of Independence, and
II had done so. for no other reason than to
remain in the monied system of England
And now the tariff. which had been the
chier object OF antipathy to the British
monied interests, was also to be overthrow.
The whole country west of the Mississippi
had been sacrificed on the silver ISSUE and
now they were going to sacrifice the whole
country east of the Mississippi in the tariff
in order to open new markets for foreign
capital in foreign industries
Mr.. Quay followed his colleague with the
second installment of his speech and occu-
pied an hour and a half, concluding at &
o'clock. with the promise to finish in one
more day.
