denounced tho bill Aa one that nobody IN
qualihsdly approves except the senators
from Mississippi and IndiaAa-MoLAurin
and Turpis. Even its author entered On
apology for the measure. II WAS strictly a
southern bill. aud most Of the New England
money invested in the south would be for
ever lost II IL becomes a law.
He took MP ia turn the various industries
of New EnGland that would be injured n
IL passed and said the increased tax on
spirits wohld beneht alone the whisky
trust. Free wool would injurs this indus
Try. The income tax he denounced as sec
tionsl and unjust. The laboring masses of
the north had set the seal of their oondem-
nation on the bill and no longer think of
the ticket they voted last yesr. bat ally
themselves with the party that stands for
protection. good wages, happy and COM
Portable homes.

running controversy came up between SEN
ator Gray. OF Delaware. and Senator Al
dTioh. Of Rhode Island. ths latter asserting z
and the former denyinR that In the recent
elections The people had expressed Teproba-
tion Of the kind Of tariff Tefo IN now before
congress. When Mr. Gray . aid the only
way 10 settle the dispute was by popular
vote Mr.. GallinRer asked II Mr. Gray
would agree 70 postpone further action
until the people could be heard from In
/ November.
Il would not dare 60 home" replied
Graz. '1f did agree"
| Mr. Aldrieh reminded Mr.. Gray that the
democratic press OF the country had had
I m Al IN un
position 20 the bill from the democratic
side OF the chamber.
Their appeal 20 put the bill In such
shape as 20 conform so the dsmooratic pol
icy had the heartisst support Of all demo-
/ c ats OF she north"
The senator from Rhode Island ia build
ing a great superstructure on the two
speeches TO which he ailudes." replied Sen
ator Gray. but / understand that both of
| those speeches. certainly the last, we're con-
fined 10 a discussion Of she income tax
/ feature, which has about as much relation
60 the tariff reform measure demanded By
the people in 1892 as an ukase By the Rus
sian emrero-. and ~ the senator from
Rhode Islend builds any hope on that
foundation We will have TO sympAthizs
vith his disappointment"
Il shall be very much surprised" said
Mr.. Aldrich. 'if great many senators on
the opposite side do not soon come TO the
conclusion that the income tar is a very
important feature of the BILL"
ia tho senator opposed to the income
ta1Y asked Mr.. Gray.
II am opposed 20 the income tax and TO
every other feature of the tarid bill before
the senate" replied Mr.. Aldrich.
Senator GallinRer was followed BY SenR-
tor MoMillan. Of Michigan. who said: "a
comparison between the Wilson bill az it
comes from the house and the new Cana
dian tariff bill shows how close an under
standing must have existed between the
trainers of tho two measutes" He pointed
out IN detail terms which showed a parallel
between the two bills.

of the two last national campaiRRs. the en-

ress under protection for the last thi ~
years. Is had betn attempted. he said. to
make the Sherman law she seapeRoat for
the ills that appeared after Clsveland's
election. The hay crop amounted 20 more
than the Gotten crop. No democrat had
ever suggested placing wire for bAling hay
on the free list. Farmers be said, had
been selected for attack. and he argued at
length TO show the superiority OF specific
over q I valorem duties.
