Mr.. Mills objected that the amendment

Mr.. Hills Reasons.
WASHINGTON, Aug 10.-In explanation
of his course to-day, Senator Hill said: MY
object in Offering the resolution was to ex-
Every days delay is injurious to the busi-
ness interests of the country. and the bill
should be disposed of at once, one way or
the other. 1t has now been under consid-
Grafton in conference committee for over a
month, and further delay is absolutely in
excusable. The conferees ought to know
each others minds by this time, and if they
cannot agree the fact of such disagreement
should be reported to the two houses, when,
if understanding can be reached upon a
bill, Congress should promptly adjourn and
give the country rest We have now been
in session for nearly a whole year, and
have had ample opportunity TO legslate.
A Senator or member who does not know
exactly what he wants TO do on the tariff
question after all this time spent in useless
deliberation is UNIT to represent any con-
stituency.
I'VE nave deliberated enough We want
action. Let the two houses take the bill out
of the hands of their conference commit
tees and proceed TO vote at once upon the
dsagreeing provisions and, If no agree
ment can be reached, let the whole matter
go over until the next session, and let Con-
gress adjourn to give the business interests
of the country a chance to recuperate from
the present depression.
Congress must arouse from its lethargy,
and should act ~ accordance with public
sentiment, and not In defiance of it. Either
pass the tariff bill at once or adjourn and
go home. These are my sentiments, and L
believe they are the sentiments of nine
tenths of the people of both parties
