MIR SIMPSONS SPEECH.
The Kansas Popu1ist Uses Tattered Coat to Point a Moral and Adorn a Tale-In- come Tax Must Stand or Fall by Itself MT. Preston Confirmed.


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 13-The important tariff speeches of the day were made by MT. Payne of New York, one of the lead ing Republican members of the ways and means committee; Dr. Everett, the Nassa- chusetts mugwump, and MT. Jerry Simp- son, the Kansas Populist. MT. Simpson created the sensation of the day by illus trating his remarks on the deplorable con dition of the agricultural classes by dis playing a dilapidated overcoat which he got from a farmer on the market place.
 It was in reply to the statements of MT. Burrows the other day. MT. Burrows had answered Mir. Wilson's criticisms of the heavy 300 per cent duty placed on low priced cloth by delaring that the cloth was shoddy and COW hair, such as no manly American would wear. MT. Simpson pro posed to show the house exactly what the poor people of the country did wear. A few days ago he found poor farmer in the Washington market place. He bargained for his clothes, took the farmer to neigh boring clothing house, rigged him out in brand new suit and carried his old rags to the capitol, where he Haunted them.
 ''There it isP' he shouted reaching down under his desk and lifting on high tat tered old overcoat fringed at the edge and bespangled with great patches. The house and the galleries cheered.
 Shook It at Burrows.
 "I bought that of Q farmer" said he, "who told me he had left home at l2a night and driven 25 miles to sell his product in your boasted home market. There, as MT. Cleveland said, is an object lesson. Laugh ter.] There is a sample of what men wear under the beneficent system of protection" he continued, holding the coat toward MT. Burrows. ''It is made of shoddy and rags -see?" Here he ripped it up the back. "Yet," he added, II can find it's duplicate on the backs of million men in this coun- try"
 "Where did he buy itP'' asked Mir. Can non of Illinois
 'He bought it year ago in this city for Ss, and l bought him another shoddy coat to take its place for s1O40." [Laughter.l
 ''Is it American or imported?" asked MT. Cannon.
 II don't know," replied Mir. Simpson. II don't care. But it is the product of Ameri- can protection. No one can deny that" Laughter and applause.]
 MT. Simpson concluded with an appeal to the people to ring out the old and ring in the new order of things. Many mem- ! bers rendered him their personal congratu- lations when he sat down. MT. Daniels of New York argued against the bill MT. McDowall of Pennsylvania followed, and Mir. Meiklejohn of Nebraska closed the de- bate for the afternoon session in opposi- tion to the bill.
 At the evening session of the house Mir. Waugh of Indiana and MT. Hermann of Oregon antagonized the bill, while MT. Mo- Kaig of Maryland and MT. English of New Jersey supported it. The latter, who was accounted one of the kicking Democrats, commended the general scheme of the measure, and while he said he thought it bore down unjustly on some of the indus tries of New Jersey it would receive his vote and support.

HINDoo CHILD MARRIAGES.


A Brahmin's Daughter Must Marry
Very Early or Her Reputation Suf-
fers.
The Brahmin has to get his daugh-
ter married before she attains puber-
ty. This custom has crept into relig-
ion. The Hindoo religion strictly for
bids single life for woman or man;
especially must the woman be married.
Hence ther are no old maids in India.
Sometimes one may meet an old
cranky" bachelor, who has remained
unmarried because he was too poor to
marry, or because his character was
not good; but even these are seldom
found except in the lower classes. Ii
man is not married at the latest by his
twenty fifth year his reputation suf-
fers. 1t is believed that those who
have a son go to heaven, when the
son. after the death of his parents, per-
forms the spiritual rites. However
this may be, whether they go to heav-
en- or not, this severe rule tends to
strict cultivation of home life,
Owing to this rule, il a Branmin's
daughter attains puberty before mar
piage the father is disgraced; he loses
his caste and no one will marry the
girl. Thus when q poor man has more
than one daughter it is a misfortune
for him. The Hindoo father himself
has to find out suitable husband for
his daughter, so he goes to gentleman
who has a son. He first makes in
quiries about the family, the property,
the health the education OF the boy.
Then he asks the father of the boy
to marry his son to his daughter. The
father Of the boy asks for dowry, and
the amount of this is fixed according
to the means OF the man who asks for
it and not of the man WHO gives it;
that is to say, if the father Of the boy
is very rich he asks thousands of dol
lars, Hence the Hindoo father of a
girl has TO spend much for the mar
iage Of his daughter, for he always
wishes to see her married into rich
family.-Forum.
