mouths has your condemnation come. for
We shall road that bold and uncompromis-
ing declaration Of the chairman of the
commit tee on ways and means that We are
to sit here until the end of our term to
put down the sugar trust. What do We
have instead? We have proposition to
fire one of those popgun tariff bills of the
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Springer) de-
posed from the ways and means committee.
HIS successor, after filling the atmosphere
with his outspread wings, finds his
nest in some other birds premises.
TReplblican laughter.J Why not resign if
you were to adopt the action of another
person? congratulate the gentleman from
Illinois (Mr. Sprineer) on his personal tri-
umph. l wish / could congratulate the
country upon something and l will insist

McMnIin's Answer.
Mr.. McMillin, democrat. Of Tennes-
see followed Mr.. Reed. After criticiz-
ing Mr.. Reed for not discussing the
question at issue. he proceeded to point
out some good features Of the senate
bill, free wool, free lumber. free hemp,
etc., and reductions In the general
schedules. Mr.. McMillin eulogized
other features, including extensions OF
the free list, especially the principle
involved in the income tax provision,
which taxed not what the people con-
sumed, but what they had.
Mr.. Burrows said the chairman OF
the ways aud means committee had
been deserted by his party associates.
In q semi III um0rous manner, he quoted
N11a4nto a~nAnh u,hAn N
bill passed the house, his sentence that
not all who paraded as tariff reformers
were in line when the musketry began
to rattle. "Now the chairman Of the
committee leads the retreat, and asks
you to adopt the bill which gives pub.
lie protection to the most monstrous
trust In this country"
Pence Defends Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson then yielded few min
utes to MI. Pence Of Colorado, leader
of the popuIlsts, who said the populists
had thought that the contest over
the tariff between the two old
parties was a good deal of q mock con-
fiict and sham battle. He was con-
WINGED that this was true when he saw
that mock fury of Nh. Burrows. Like
Mr.. Burrows, however, he confessed
that he did not know what the presi-
dent would do. Any measure was
measure for the relief of the masses,
Mr.. Pence proceeded, II it repealed the
Mckinley law. At the conclusion, he
paid glowing tribute to MIR. Wilson.
THE DOSE TOO cad FOR COCHRAN.
He Dealt Sledge- Hammer Blows 1t the
Senate Bill.
Bourke Cochran Of New York was
given the closest attention by the ex-
pectant galleries and at times enthusi.
astically applauded from either side of
the chamber as his sledge-hammer
blows were dealt at the Mckinley law,
or the senate bill.
Tarsney and johnson With Him.
MI. Tarsney. democrat, Of Missouri
followed in a bitter attack on the SEN
ate bill. He said the highest authority
in the democratic party had stigma
tized it with disgrace and dishonor.
I'm this conclusion concur heartily"
said he. land I leel 1t to be personal
dishonor to me 10 vote on this bill, and
shall not do So" There was hearty
republican applause at this announce
ment, which was more significant by
the fact of his membership on the ways
and means committee.
Mr.. Johnson, democrat. Of Ohio said
he was grieved to part company with
his democratic colleagues on the floor,
but he did not believe the concessions
made were necessary TO secure the vote
of the senate. The senate bill was not
the hest that could have been secured.
