On the 2slh senator hin (deui.. n. ~ said
shat he agreed with Senator German that tho
democratic party was In the midst OF great
crisis. The party after long struggle had been
intrusted with power IL had gone TO work 10

that looking 10 tariff reform The house had
passed bill which, aside from the income tax
feature. had met with general approval A II
passed the senate, however, II was not salts
factory and IL violated the pledges OF the party.
Senator HIN said that the sentiments ex-
pressed In the presidents letter were his senti-
ments. The president, he declared. violated
no clause OF the constitution when he sent that
letter. He had the right 90 do IL. No demo-
crat on the floor could controvert the position
taken by Mr.. Cleveland. Placing a duty on
coal and iron would violate the platform dec
larations OF the party. The democrats OF the
country were In sympathy with Mr.. Cleveland.
The Wilson bill had been generally Endorsed
all over the country In respect 20 free raw ma
terials The senate bill had been received
everywhere with signs OF disapproyal.
Senator Hin read from President Cleveland's
message OF 1887 10 prove that Senator German
had erred In saying that Mr. Cleveland had In
IN az message said nothing Ia favor OF free raw

held responsible for the UNOFFICIAL utterances

Continuing, Senator Hin advanced step
toward Senator German, and referring 90 tho

Commenting on Senator Germans admission
OF having assured the sugar men before Presi-
dent Cieyeland's election that sugar would
have q duty, he demanded by what right SEN
ator German had given that assurance, and he
denied that the democratic party was bound 20
carry out such promise, even though the
senator from Maryland never breaks his
word"
In repeating Senator Germans declaration
that an altered bill could not pass the senate.
he recalled the fact that during the sherman
repeal fight Senator German had declared that
unconditional repeal was impossible. But 10
did pass, he cried.
His defense OF Mr.. Cleveland was followed
by a condemnation OF the income tax In which
Senator Hin again defined his future policy
with regard to t. lie said he wanted 70 de-
feat "the populistic income tax" and addedt
II shall resort TO every honorable method by
which IL can be done"
The senator ended cleverly and humorouSly
by turning the tables on Senator German for
referring 10 him as lago. II might lilen this
attack on our president" he said, ito the great
conspiracy OF Rome would (pointing 10 Cor
mani call the distinguished senator from
Maryland the lean and hungry Casslus."
Then. leaning toward Senator German, he ut
tered in stage whisper. lie thinks too
much = lie likened senator Jones 20 honest
Brutus and Senator Vest TO Casca and Senator
Harris % Martellus Climber, and finished
with:
1T is the same plea as when they killed
Cesar, not that they loved him less, but that
they loved Rene more. And with these gentle
men IL is not that they love Cleveland less but
that they love their party and this bin better

waite grievances they have, they are all wiso
aud honorable men
Senator Cafcry rose when senator hin sat
down and offered an amendment. lnstructing
the SENATE conferreos 70 insist on the inser-
tion in the bin OF bounty OF nno-tcnths OF a
cent on sugar testing over ninety degrees and
OF eiRht-tenthS ofa cent between eighty and
ninety degrees This was an amendment pre-
pared by senator Jones (Ark.) for insertion In
the bill, but Il was never offered In speaking
90 this amendment senator Cafery warmly
defended the president for the views ex-
pressed In his letter TO Chairman Wilson.
Senator Teller interrupted Senator Caffery
60 ask how he would act towards the bill IL
