In committee Of the whole IN the house
Mr.. Cultivate offered the following

On page ls, IN lines Is and H. strike out

insert the followingi Scent q pound. Z"
And hereafter no rebate or drawback

The object OF this amendment is to re-
ducs the tariff from l-5 cents pound to
cent.
Mr.. Breckinridgs offered a substitute,
putting tin plate on the free list.
A number of speeches were made, both
for and against these amendments.
Mr.. McEttrick contrasted the policy Of
the Democratic party and the the Repub-
lican to the children and workingmen OF
Massachusetts,. II had been the policy OF
the Democratic party, he said. 10 have all
the children In the state educated, while
the Republican policy would have them
employed In factories.
The poor children Of Massachusetts, are
being sacrificed on the altar Of human
greed. The Democratic party said that
the birthright Of every child was educa-
ton and sunshine. while the policy OF the
Republican party In regard TO children In
Massachusetts, was q crime against hui
manity and blot on It's boasted civiliza-
tion.
The other Side.
Mr.. Dingley replied 10 Mr. McEttrick,
and said that the wages paid In Massa-
chusetts TO men employed In the various
textile industries were 80 per cent higher
than the wages paid to similar operatives
In Great Britain, whose system the gen.
tleman desired to initiate.
Mr.. Mccall (Rep., Mass.) expressed re-
gret that Mr.. McEttrick had seen At TO as
sail his state, whose honor ought TO be AS
sacred to him a. his own.
Mr.. McEttrick denied having made an
attack on his state. The attack which he
had made was on the Republican party of
the state.
Mr.. Mccall remarked that IL gentlemen
on the other side who were 40 very ready
with their applause would look at the
facts they would see how much their ap
plause was worth IN this particular in
stance. Under she laws Of Massac O chusetts
children under t3 years Of age could not
be employed In factories. and all the laws
Of Massachusetts relating to education or
labor had made that commonwealth a
revered and cherished object wherever the
taL 10.
league had. for the sake Of getting the APP
plause OF the Democrats, slandered the
good old commonwealth.

ridges amendment was voted down-yeas
