RUSSELL ATTACKS HILL.

At . Banquet of the Young Men,a Democratic Club of Boston John E. Russell Says That Senator Hill Dare Not Vote Against the Tarifi
 Bill.
 BOSTON, April 12.-A dinner oommem- orative of the birth of Thomas Jefferson was given at the Quincy house this after noon by tho Young Mems Democratic club. Nearly 200 members and guests were pres- ent. The leading speakers were Hon. J. Sterling Morton, secretary of agriculture; Hon. J. H. Eckles, comptroller of cur rency; Hon. J. H. Russell of Leicester, Hon. o. H. Hsmlin of Brookline, assistant secretary of the treasury, and Hon. Win slow Warren of Boston, collector of the port of Boston. A reception was held for an hour before the dinner to afford mem bers and friends an opportunity to meet the distinguished speakers.
 At 7:30 dinner was served. President c. E. Stratton of the club sat at the csn- ter of the head table. On the right were Hon. J. Sterling Morton, Hon. J. E. Rus sell, Hon. 0. s. Hamlin, James B. Carroll and O. A. Aisdsn of Concord, N. H., 8 recent gubernatorisl candidate. On the chairman's left were Hon. J. Fl. Eckles, Hon. Winglow Warren, Hon. George M. Stump, commissioner of immigration, and Dr. W. A. Wheeler, head of the military health department in New York.
 Shortly after o'clock President Strat- ton rose to introduce the speakers. After brief predatory speech of welcome he presented the first speaker, Hon. J. Ster- ling Morton. The speaker denounced the free coinage bill because it puts sn artif. cial price on silver of $1 29 per ounce when its bullion value is less than seventy cents, and he closed by paying his respects to the pilgrims of protection, who have appeared before the ways and means committee of congress and presented "most pathetic spectacle of self ,dsnial." e.
 Comptroller Eokels was the next speak- CT. Mr. Eokels was followed by the Hon. George M. Stearns of Chioopee, who in Q witty speech urged hearty support of the administration.
 The next speaker was the Hon. John E Russell. Speaking chiefly of discipline in the party upon the party tariff, he said in substance: The present tariff is really for protection of profits under pretence of pro- lection of labor. Every time this question has been raised the protectionists have been beaten. We were entrusted with government in 1892 and commanded to re- duce taxation. The house has passed the Wilson bill, and now senators elected as democrats work for local interests and per- sonsl revenge against the party with the sp- proval and applause of republicans; David Hill Is spplsuded by G. Frisbie Hoar. I rejoice in the alliance; the only objection Hoar ever had to Hill was his democracy. The republican party Is welcome to his whole following here or in New York. But he will not dare to vote against the bill.
 MT. Russell closed by criticising Senator Lodges recent speech ss contrsdicted in its conclusions with reference to the result of fire e trade in England by English states men, and as fsvoring a policy of which the best example was Chins, where labor has been the slave of capital.
