The herald., 1894-04-11

Finally it was decided to allow tine Wnoie
eubject to 60 over until tomorrow:
Bills we're passed for the protection OF
game in the Yellowstone park and for
the punishment OF crime in the park by
the extension OF the law and jurisdiction
OF the Wyoming United States district
to its territory and to grant chief JUS
ticea in the territories power TO appoint
commissioners to take proof of land cases. |
The house then went into committee !
of the whole and resumed consideration
OF the postoffice appropriation bill. The
pending question was point OF oruer
raised by Henderson, chairman OF the
postoffice committee, against an amend
mont offered by Dunphy to prevent the
manufacture OF postage stamps by the
bureau of engraving and printing under
the contract recently awarded. The
point of order was sustained.
The amendment to reduce from t243,-
900 to $l80, 900 the appropriation Tor the
manufacture Of stamps was adopted.
An amendment providing that all
publications purporting to be issued
periodically to subscribers, but which
are really books or parts OF books, to be
subject to the Sates providing for third
class matter when transmitted through
the mails, was adopted.

s196, ,Sl4 for special mail facilities on
trunk line from Springfield, Mass, via
New York and Washington 70 Atlanta
and New Orleans, then began. In the
course Of the debate which followed,
Bryan of Nebraska took the floor and,
ostensibly speaking of the amend
ment, made reply to the
recently published letter of Reed
to @. L. B. Vaughan of Hutchin-
son, Kan, in which he criticised Bryan
for using in his speech made in Denver
an extract from one of his (Reed's) BoH-
ton speeches. From the letter which
was given in these dispatches Reed
complained that the extract taken from
it's contents conveyed wrong impress
sion. Bryan stated that the extract he
used had not been taken from its con-
tents; that he mad used all Of the pub
lished report of the apeach. Moreover,
he stated that Reeds letter OF explana'
tion was written deliberately and reiter-
ated practically the idea contained in
the speech from which he had quoted.
He proceeded to characterize the speech
as an appeal to eectionaliam-an appeal
to the eetishness of New England.
While Reed told the west that all the
states were equally interested in the
preservation OF the protective tariff, he
told Massachusetts she WAS most interest
ed. It was remarkable utterance from
a leader OF the Republican party. He
, called attention to the discrepancy oi
Rsed's- letter. He spoke of his refer
ence to the Wilson bill in the speech,
where, as o matter of fact, the bill was
, not reported until a month after thiG
speech was delivered. He called atten'
ton to Reeds letter, he said, because
> he did not want some western RepuDli'
can, proceeding on the same line, tC
argue that the tariff should be wiped
1 out in order that the weSt might at las'
start upon her manufacturing career
D and finally achieve the power and pres
> tige now enjoyed by New England. Hf
! wanted the country to know that Reed
/. while he stood up for protection tor the
/ whole country in the halls of congress
q In Massachusetts he pleaded for the
speclsi privileges OF New England
: Democratic applause.]
D Reed listened to Bryan attentively
!. When he had finished Reed rooe. INT
i incident was of little Importance, h
q said. Its only significance was tina

10 was unwilling that this mistaken sur
Z position should 20 abroad unrectifeC
d He found that the newspapers Of th
west, in the midst of the ruins of tn
% Democratic party, needed some startlln
9 lie to come and 60 on. No man her
g would have placed wrong constructio
10 on his speech. Everyone knew whe
o it2was delivered, although the bill
r. had not been reported, that fre
Q raw materials were to be used t,
8 appease New England. There was n
d doubt the course of the empire woul
:. continue to move westward, but
d should move westward without carrying
d in its wake the ruin of the consumer a
Il we'll as the manufacturer. The destruc
Q ton of manufactures would be destruC
tion to the great manufacturing plants
4 Millions untold would be lost and whel
y rebuilt would go westward. If this pro
n cess went out naturally it would be T.
!, the advantage of the whole people. Tn
9 Republican doctrine OF protection be
lieved in no class as did the doctrine 0
: the Wilson bill. It believed that th
Q American people should do the work.
/. Without acting on the smendmen
D the committee rose and st O'Clock tn
. house adjourned.
