The Oregon Senate Speaks Ills Mind
on The Taln Question
TARIFF AND ALL OF THAT

Lively Tits IL the Senate Be-
tween Gentlemen Who
Are leaders.

ror in the Dering sea bill recently passed.
BY substiturionof the word exclusive"
for inclusive" the intent of the act, he
said, had bcon entirely changed. The bill
was passed.
The PETER resolution for the appoint
ment OF a reception committee for Coxey's
army OF the comnonweal, to bo known in
the senate parlance as Committee OH
communication" camo up few minutes
before O'Clock, but in those few minutes
1t received some very rough handling.
Hawley, who dealt the blows, said he
would have preferred to have some. of the
dominant party in tho senate take the
floor, for certainly the speech yesterday
by Senator Allen of Nebraska ought not 10
be allowed 10 go forth TO the country as
representing in any degree tho views of
tho senate. He criticised Allen for his
reference TO the coinmonweai army as
''tho people" and also for his illusions 10
the district militia under General Ordway,
and he ventured TO say General Ordway
had given more time 10 study the qucs-
tion than had the senator from Nebraska,
and that not one step would be taken by
him except at the command of the civil
power. These men who are coming here
did not represent the general views Of the
people; they were not coming with the in-
tention OF prostrating themselves at the
feet of congress, but 10 impress them by
their presence.
Ia conclusion, Hawley said there were
i1any other things in Aliens speech
which should be refuted, but he did not
propose to do 1t. 81 am sorry to say it,"
he continued, but feel bound TO say IL,
that the speech OF the senator from Ne
braska is such as would be received with
applause by a gang of anarchists, and it
would not require vide scope TO discover
in IL the microbes and bacilli of anar-
chism.n
Allen intended to reply TO Senator Haw-
ley, but the time being up the resolution
went over without action, and the tariff
bill being laid before the senate, Gallinger
OF New Hampshire spoke against the bill.
In the course of Gallinger's speech rum
ming controversy came up between Gray
OF Delaware and Aldrich OF Rhode Island,
the latter assertin: and the former deny
ing that in the recent elections the peo-
pie had expressed reprobation of the kind
When Mr.. Gray said the only way to set
tie the dispute was by popular vote. Gal.
linger asked If Gray would agree to post
pone further action until the people could
be heard from in November.
II would not dare 60 home," replied
Gray, "if did agree"
Aldrich reminded Gray that the demo-
cratic press of the country had had
nothing but praise for two speeches in op-
position TO the bill from the democratic
side of the chamber.
Their appeal TO put the bill in such
shape as 10 conform to tho democratic
policy had the hearticst support of all the
democrats of the North" he said.
"The senator from Rhode Island is
building a great superstructure on tho
two speeches TO which he alludes." replied
Gray, ''but I understand both those
speeches, certainly the last, were confined
to discussion of tho income tax feature,
which has about as much relation TO the
tariff reform measure demanded by the
people in 1892 as an ukase by the Russian
emperor, and il the senator from Rhode
Island builds any hope on that founda-
tion, We will have TO sympathize with his
disappointment"
II shall be very much surprised" said
Adricb, 'if n great many senators on the
opposite side do not soon come to the con-
clusiou that the income tax is n very
important feature of the BILL"
''Is the seeator opposed 10 the income
taN?" asked Gray.
81 am opposed to the income tax and
every other feature Of the tariff bill before
the senate replied Aldrich.
Senator Gallinger was followed by Sena-
tor Mcmillan of Michigan. who said. "A
comparison between the Wilson bill. as il
comes from the house. and the new Cana
dia n tariff bill shows how close an under
standing must have existed between tho
trainers of the two measures" lie pointed
out in detail the terms which showed a
parallel between the two bills.
Senator Dolph followed in a speech
against the bill. He reviewed the history
Of the two last national campaigns. the

Kinley law in response to mandate OF
the people and the dire disasters threat.
ened by the supremacy of the democrats
and the imminent enactment of revenue
tariff. He went over the history Of tho
country's progress under protection for
the last % years. 1t had been attempted.
he said, to make the Sherman law a scape.
coat for the ills that appeared after Cleye-
lands election. The hay crop of the
country amounted to more in va lue than
the cotton crop. No democrat had ever
suggested placing duties for baling hay on
the free list. The farmers, he said. had
been selected for attack, and he argued at
length to show the superiority of the spe-
cihc over the ad valorem duties. The
senator proceeded 10 discuss the various
provisions of the bill, which he declared
would bc a disaster 10 the Pacific coast.
