Mr.. Hale regarded Dolph's amendment
as bringing the Senate face 10 face, so
that no senator could wriggle out of it or
Squirm out of it, with the difference be-
tween the treatment of a northern indus
try, purely agricultural, and of southern
industry, purely,agricultural. He chal-
lenged the democratic senators to explain
why there should be such discrimina-
tion a.
Mr.. Dolph's amendment was rejected -
yeas (Pener), nays 81.
HALE HEARD FROM AGAIN.
Mr.. Hale read the names of tho demo-
cratic senators who voted no. on Mr..
Dolph's amendment, and the names of
the same senators who voted aye on
exactly the same provision in the para
graph as to buckwheat, oats, etc.
Within twenty-four hours, he said these
senator's had, every one of them, "turned
tait' and voted the other way. The peo-
pie of the north, he said, would
take account of that matter. The
senators on the other side were
renewing the old story of thirty-fye
years ago, and were driving the northern
people to a roint beyond which no more
could be borne, The day of final reckon
ing was not here; il was somewhere else
The people of the north would take a
stern account Of the matter, and would
hold the Democratic party to a severe
reckoning.
Mr.. Mills replied to Mr.. Hale. He had
listened with great interest, he said, to
the cry thrown across the chamber of sec
tionalism. When ever that cry was raised
he regarded it as the cry Of stop thief "
1t was always raised by some one who
was fleeing before the police with stolen
goods under his shirt. Laughter The
republican senator's ought to have said
something about it the other day when
they were voting from 50 to 100 per cent.
on Sumatra tobac, for the beneht of the
tobacco growers of Connecticut and Penn
syltania.
Both the duties on Sumatra tobacco and
rice were too high. They we're neither
of them revenue duties. Both of them
ought TO be reduced. They ought not 10
exceed % or 30 per cent. But the demo
cratic senators had TO take the bill as
they could getit, doing the best they could
with it. The bill was not simply n bill to
reduce duties on rice. 1t was bill to re-
duco duties on wooden and cotton goods
And in order TO do that the democratic
senator's had TO submit to some nigh
duties-like those on Sumatra tobacco
and rice.
POLITICAL AND PERSONAL ATTACKS.
For the remainder of the days session
there was a constant interchange of poll
tical and personal attacks between sena-
tors on opposite sides of the chamber,
which caused much amusement TO the
galleries Mr.. Hale offered his coudol-
ences 10 Mr.. Mills for the "humiliating
and cxasperating condi,ioa" IN whiaA the
senator from Texas found himself
The Democrats party, bic said, was
under Indictment 1t was be-
ing "hunted" like fugitive
from justice; it was appealing to the re-
publican side to let up" on it, to let it
alone. But the democratic senators
would have to undcra tand that they
belonged to hunted party; and lhc re
publican side of the chamber would not
stay its hand one moment until the other
side had got much more tired than il was
now
MIR. Berry made some bitter remarks
about Mr.. Hoar having. in violation of
the unanimous consent, spoken twice 10
the same amendment, ana Mr.. Hoar re-
scnted 1t and said that it showed ''tho
sheer and gross ignorance of the man that
talked in that way" Then mir l. CRY
r-ncwed his charge that tho Massacnu-
sotts senator deliberately, willfully and
knowingly violated the agreement.
DOWN TO BUSINESS AGAIN.
After some more of this sort of enter
tainment the Senate began 10 take some
action on the bill. The rice paragraph
was agreed TO and then came paragraph
1914 Better and substitutes therefor. :"
The House fixed it at 4 cents q round {;
and the finance committee agreed to
leave it at that. II so remains.
Cheese, in the next paragraph, 1875, was
changed from 25 per cent. ad valorem to
4 cents ound.
sMr. Jones had reported an amendment
TO insert as new paragraph, milk 3
cents gallon" but he withdrew IL.
Tho paragraphs on milk, beans, otc
O9j, 197 ana 1857, were seyerally agreed
upon, MIR. Jones Withdrawing his pro-
posed amendment putting dutieson broom
