WASHINGTON, u. G.. June lin tho
Eeuuto to-day NJ. Teller lRcp. Col iol.
lowed Mr. Lodge with some rcnarks in
favor Of duty on raw wool. In the
course Of his speech no read state.
mens from tho Now York Tribune 10 the
effect that ",ho senatorial auC.ioncers"
in order to uavc the sugar schedule and
pass tLoir bills had traded of prohibi.
tory duties on cotton and woolens.
Mr.. Vest Joined Mr.. Alirich in an
emphatic denial thai there had been
any bargains to obtain prohibl:ory
dutios.
Later, while discussing tho reduction
Of tho rates on woo!ens, Mr.. HawIey
(Conn,) interrupted Mr.. Teller TO re-
mark that these reductions would result
inevitably in lowering the wages OF the
operatives 80 or 20 per cent
Either reduction OF wugcs or the
manufacturers would quit"
They will not quit" replied Mr..
Toller. They have too much capital
involved They will reduce wages, and
operatives, faced with starvation, will
stand the reduction. Men who live by
their labor cannot mike Il successful
contest against capital"
Mr. Hoar, as one OF the representa-.
tives OF tho great wcolen manufacturing
states in tho country, endorsed the
statements made that the New England
manufacturers did not GeaIrc free wool.
II would be q buSo thing for them TO
undertake 10 secure the advantage oi
free raw materials for themselves by
tho vote, bargain or silence OF their
representatives in Congress.
Mr.. Plat (Rcp., Conn. followed with
IN argomene along the limo OF that OF
Mr. Qoar, denying like tho Massachu.
sotts senator. that the woolcn manufGc.
turers favored free wool. They believed
in protection as an entirety for all alike.
Mr.. Higgins, (Rep. Del J, followed in
oppoeition 20 FREQ wool.
Mr.. Chandler talked for an hour In
favor OF ample protection to wool and
wooleps.
Mr.. Dolph followed with al argu.
mcIt against free wool. During the
progress OF his speech he remarked that
IL was whispered about the senate that
the opposition TO the bill had surren-
dered and that tho bill would pass before
tho end OF the present month. II he
could prevent it. he declared the bill
would no. be voted upon until the peo-
pie had had chance TO give an express
ion OF their opiuion at tho general elect
ions next fall When the hour Of
o'clock arrived and 9ir. Harris showed
no sign OF moving an adjournment, Mr..
Quay interrupted Mr.. Dolph and asked
him itit would not be convenient for
him to proceed tomorrow.
"But tho senator has not concluded
his remarks" suggested Mr.. Harris.
"Iie is willing to wait until to-mor-
row." said Mr.. Quay, good huuoredly.
"Ihe senator from Oregon" returned
Mr.. Harris. sarcastically, has not been
heard from before on this bill, and !
trust the senator from Pennsylvania
will ntford him the fullest opportunity
TO proceed with his remarks. Let him
60 on tonight" he added, with an i'm.
perious wave OF his hand, but Mr.. Quay
was not willing, aud, after stating tina;
the usual hont OF adjournment had
passed, no moved to adjourn.
The motion was lost, 1873, who're
upon Mr. Quay moved that the scnatc
proceed with the consideration Of cx.
ecutiro business. This motion also
was defeated, 1874, but it was ap.
parent that tho Democratic managers
could not force tho hands OF the Re-
publicans tonight and Mr.. Harris,
after again calling attention to tho
interminablc delay upon tho bill, then
yielded. In doing go he declared tina,
ho had had IN understanding with Mr..
Aldrich whereby so far as two senators
could bind their espcctivo sides, a vote
should have been taken tonight on free
wool. Both he and l have been
thwa:ted," said he. Mr.. Aldrich con.
tirmcd this statement, at che same time
stating that tho debate on this para
graph OF tho wool schedule IVES abou.
exhausted, aud he had no doubt vote

Harris snid he would yield to the in
evitable. but hs held out tho dire threa,
