than you have to-day even. Not con-
tent with what you have done, you have
threatened the people of this country
with yourselves again. Laughter on
Republican side.
I'VE shall not write your epitaph.
That has been done by nearer and
iearer parsonage. That has been
done by the man whose name must be
affixed TO this bill before
it can dlscredit the statute
book. His name must. be to
it. He tells you that this bill is an in
stance of perfidity, injustice and dis
honor. We have got nothing TO DO in
the next cam paign exceot to read the
testimony Of your Chief Magistrate,
under whose protection the Committee
on Ways aud Means of the House OF
Representatives have lived so tbat we
did not know at any moment whether
they were Committe OF the House
OF Representatives or a committe OF the
Executive. [Applauss on the Repub-
lican side. Out OF your own house
mold has come your condemnation.
Nay, out of your own mouths has your
condemnation come. For we shall read
that bold and incorporating declara-
tion OF the Chairman Of the Committee

Mr.. Wilson then yielded few min
utes to Mr.. Pence, of Colorado, the
leader of the Populists, who said that
the Popuiists had thought and thought
still that the contest over the tariff
between two old parties was
good deal of mock conflict and sham
battle. Any measure was measure
for the relief of the masses, Mr.. Pence
proceeded, il 1t repealed the Mckinley
law. In conclusion he paid glowing
tribute to Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Cockgan (Dem.. N. Y. was given
the closest attention by the expectaut
cally applauded from either side OF
the chamber az his sledge-hammer
blows were dealt at the Mckinley law
or the Senate bill. Mr. Cochran was
deeply in earnest, and his protest against
the consum nation OF this tariff legiSla-
tion recalled lis famous speech OF pro-
test at tue Chicago convention.
NJ. johnson (Dem. Ohio), said he was
greyed to part company with
his Democratic colleagues on
the floor, out he did not be-
lieve that the concessions made were
necessary to secure rho vote OF the

had inglorously surrendered; 1t had

TO THE UNITED STATES SENATE.
Laughter. This action meant that
every woman who bought her house.
hold sugar was made an emissary TO
preach against the Democratic party.
After he had finished, Mr.. Wilson
arose and corrected statement he had
made in his opening TO the effect
that 500, 900, 600 worth OF raw sugar
had been purchased by the
Sugar Trust in anticipation OF the
passage of the sugar schedule or the
Senate bill. He had baen mistaken, he
afterwards learned. The trust had
purchased AS, 900 tons, about S25, 000,-
600.
Concluding. Mr.. Wilson said this was
not time for, Democratic enthusiasm,
No
But il the Democratic party
was to live, If 1t did live
it would not lay down its weapons until
it had made it impossible in this coun-
try TO lay burdens on one class Of our
citizens for the enrichment OF another.

Just before the announcement Mr..

After the free sugdr bill had been re-
ported Mr.. Reed rep. Maine), spoke
OF the bill as the last OF the air cush-
ions the statesmen OF this little king
dom Of Liliput had arranged for them
selves to fall on, and reminded Louisiana
that the Republican party would have
given them the protection they needed
and asserted that the Democrats had
so beclouded the question with corrup-
ton thatit could not be dealt with hon.
estly by others without incurring sus-
picion. 1t was too great question to

parties.
Mr. Wilson concluded the discussion.
