The evening world., 1894-07-19

offer an amendment to extend the time
to four hours. but objection was made.
The previous question was ordered.
This gave thirty minutes for debate.
Mr.. Reed CRep., Me.) took the floor and
offered word Of protest against cutting
of debate in this summary manner. He
thought there were members on the
Democratic side who desired time to ex-
presr their opinion Of the Senate amend
ments.
With something OF a twinkle in his eye
he yielded ten minutes to Mr.. johnson.
the free trade. single taxer from Ohio.
Mr.. johnson Immediately launched
protest against the special order because
It gave the House no opportunity to vote
separate instructions on the different
schedules. especially en- the subject OF
sug r. He denounced the discrimination
in the sugar schedule in favor OF tho
Trust as criminal and declared. amid
burst of applause. that II the Sugar
Trust or any other trust was to legis-
late for the people. It made little differ
ence whether that legislation was Inn
posed upon them by the Mckinley or
the German bill.
The order OF the Rules Committee
was finally adopted by the House. and
Chairman Wilson was recognized.
There was a burst Of hearty applause
from the Democratic side as he arose
with the Tariff bill and disagreeing re-
port in his hand. His head was bound
with a silk handkerchief, which COM
pletely enveloped his face, covering his
eyes and falling to his mouth He
stood in the aisle. with a hand on the
desks at either side. He sent the re-
port Of disagreement to the Speakers
desk. and 1t was read, briefly stating
the disagreement in toto.
Mr.. Wilson said that he desired to be
complete in his statement, yet he recog-
nized that there were limitations neces-
sary But he could say within the
bounds OF courtesy and propriety. that
IL the Senate conferrees had met the
House conferrees in the spirit OF doing
good for the whole people an agreement
could have been reached In one day.
But the Senate conferrees came fettered
with certain obligations to their col
leagues in the Senate. Without stating
the nature or the strength OF these obli-
cations, It sufficed to say that they were
against the principles OF the House and
| in line with the demands Of great cor
| porate interests.
Mr.. Wilson said this developed an ,r-
reconcilable difference.
He said it in sadness that there ap-
peared to be no reconciliation Of the two
posltions. The House bill had been
framed with a view to redeeming the
pledges of the Democratic party. II
recognized the people rather than private
corporate interest. But the bill as II
came from the Senate, did not recognize
the great principles Of the party.
Mr.. Wilson next addressed himself &c
the details Of the disagreement. He said
the main difference had been upon sugar
iron ore, coal. silver. lead ore. some
features OF the woollen schedule. some
of the iron and steel schedules. and par
ticularly steel rails and structural Iron
But" said he. "the great difference
has been on sugar.
He took up the sugar schedule In de
tail, explaining the difference between
the Senate and the House. The Senate
he said, had adopted a sugar schedule
which, whether true or not. had beer
construed by the public and press o.
the country as concession to tn
Sugar Trust.
IF 1t be true" said he. that th'
Sugar Trust has grown SO strong tina
1t can say no Tariff bill can pass unit
it's interests are protected. then / hop'
this House will never adjourn'--
Mr.. Wilson was cut short here by q
burst OF applause which lasted half {
minute. Members threw documents II
the air and the gallery Joined in thu
demonstration.
"If this be true" he continued. g.
hope this House will never adjourn unit
refined sugar Is put on the free list"
He passed to al eloquent appeal 70
the House bill. He said 1t had not onl.
been Endorsed by the people. but thu
President of the United States had givel
his approval to the scheme Of tariff re
form created BY the House. No maj
had been moro intensely interested II
this contest than the President.
CHere Mr.. Wilson introduced the Pres
idents letter. as 1t precedes this re
port)
At 150 the motion to insist on tn
House disagreement to the Senat
amendments was adopted without di
vision, and the bill was sent back t
conference, tina Speaker appointing tn
same conferrees as before.
