Undoubtedly his personal intercourse

abled him to put all the strength of q
reproof which the letter contains. But
the transaction, as it stands today is
between them and him. Far be it from

1.-The gentleman from West Virginia
has pledged this house amid the up
lroarous applause of their side-to stand
out against the Senate,s to break the
letters which bind these gentlemen to
their present positions. lhave no doubt
but what the gentleman says is true,
but the southern gentlemen in the
Senate met their southern brother here
with sadness. | have no doubt but that
sorrow filled their hearts because there
are MANY amendments of the Senate bill
which it is fair to say are improve
ments on the House bill sand in the di-
ERECTION of protection.
"The Senate bill is not what this
country ought to have. 1t is not such
| a bill as would do justice to its indus
! tries: but the House bill was so bad
that almost any change in an upward
direction would be better. But what
was the trouble with these southern
gentlemen? What is a tariff but one
which relates to the interests of the in
dustries of the country? When a dis
| tinguished senator held out for collars
and cuffs, and the Democratic party in
the Senate marches up to the poor
measure of protection on them, that
senator was acting not merely or his
own interests, but for the interests Of
Ibis constituency and if it is true, as
lis stated, that he himself was in any
way interested in business in that town
not of that kind-and that business
would lose it's vigor and life on account
of the destruction of the collar and cuff
industry, he was representing his peo-
tple, because this country and it's pros
lperity is made up of its industries and
/ its interests. applause on the Repub
| lican side.)
"The gentleman from Ohio (Mr.
iOuthwaite) in that moment of truth
which sometimes comes in the exhaus-
Etion of intellect QaughteHand applause
lon the Republican side), mean the
WEAKNESS, for I do not mean to be dis
irespectful-say the Southern gentle
linen who are running this matter have
sacrificed their own interests, and the
Democrats on the other side applauded
this sentiment, showing that, in spite
| of all they say. they do recognize the
fact that the taking off Of the tariff is
the sacrifice of an interest and an in
idustry. No, Mr.. Speaker, if they did
sacrifice their own states, it was be-
cause they wanted to sacrifice us with
the rest still worse, and they are en-
gagged today in these processes so faith
tful to this nation Of. endeavoring to
bring the prosperity of the rest of the
country down to their level, instead of

level of ours. prolonged ap-
Iplause on the Republican side. We be-
lieve not in the success of the North
but in the success of the whole coun-
try (renewed applause), and we stand
as ready to give the South the benefit
of the laws of the land which makes
higher wages for men and an increase
| of wealth for all as freely and as read
| lily as we give it to our own people"
| prolonged applause on the Republican
iside).
