CRISP Is PHILOSOPHICAL.
Pleased That Trusts Are Crippled,
if Not Killed.

Speaker Crisp was recognized amid
much applause. AS he was about to be-
| Gin, an animated conflict arose over the
right of Mr.. Reed to close the debate.
MIR. Tracey, who was in the chair, in
formed Mr.. Reed that he had four min
utes.
"And will use it in my own time"
said MIR. Reed. You can't use it." re-
sponded the chairman, I'm closing de-
| bate"
IF you wish to be recognized now
you may proceed. l will not recognize
you to close the debate"
Tits quite fitting" said Mr.. Reed,
''that this refusal to recognize this side
should be part of this spectacle"
The gentleman should know"
Speaker Crisp said, that the affirma-
alive of the proposition closes a de-
bate"
Mr.. Crisp then resumed his speech.
MIR. Crisp said he wished to publicly
assume his full share of responsibility
for the action about to be taken, and
expressed the belief that it was in the
best interest OF tariff reform. He re-
ferred to the gentleman from New York
(Mr. Cockran), as spending but little OF
his time in attending to the business of
the house, and as indulging in pyro-
technics about principle, while plain,
practical business men were seeking to
obtain some relief for suffering people.

continuing, ''we will send it to the
senate crystallized into the form of
acts passed in this hall, bills max
Ing sugar free loud applausel, making
coal free renewed applausel, making
iron ore free continued applausel,
and making barbed wire free. If my
friend on that side is so much concerned
about these articles, let him stay here
and vote with US Laughter and ap-
plauseI; 1T is quite apparent that you,
gentlemen on the other side, prefer the
Mckinley bill. There are gentlemen
on this side who prefer the Mckinley
bill to the house bill with the senate
amendments. These gentlemen are
willing to incur all kinds of RISKS and
hazards because they feel that in the
end they cannot be losers, because
they prefer the Mckinley law 10 the
house bill.
I'm conclusion l want to say as far as
l am concerned | am willing to con-
tinue the contest for better bill.
so long as there was any hope OF
obtaining it. But when the conferees
on the part OF the house, in whom we
have the utmost confidence, who are IA
miliar with all the facts, tell US that iri
their Judgment we must take this bill
or be RENTED to the penalties of the
Mckinley bill, l do not hesitate a mo-
ment. If there is sugar trust in this
country which is dominating legisla-
ton, the
Republican Party Created 1t.
Applause. And though this bill
does not destroy that trust, as we wish
1t did, it takes away more than One-half
of the protection accorded to that trust.
Applause.
IF there is coal combine the legis-
lation of the Republican party built it
up, and, though we do not make coal
flee in this bill, we reduce the duty
from IS to 40 cents. If there is a steel
and iron combine the same remark APP
plies. Going through these sched-
ules, whilst they are not all we
wish. they are land we want
the country TO understand IT'D the best
we can now get. The moment we get
this we intend to move forward; we do
not intend there shall be any backward
step IN tariff reform. We believe that
the adjournment of this congress with
out the passage Of some tariff bill would
he blow to the tariff reform from
which II would not recover for years to
come"
AS the speaker closed, MIR. Cochran,
OF New York, excitedly arose and asked
to make statement of personal priv.
iege.
There Was Great Confusion.
The chair declined TO recognizes the
privilege as contrary to the rules. Cat.
calls came from the Republican side.
