course the Democrats pursued in 1880 in
the fight against the force bill. The rem
edy for this condition OF affairs Law in pro-
cseding in Z prompt. plain. manly fashion
to rearranee the rules. As he had said be-
fore, he continued, the bill Was not salts
factory to him. 1t was not sasisfac-
tory to other Democrats on this
side OF the chamber. and If the
senator from Maryland (Gormau), the
other day intended to infer that there was
Democratic unity on this bill he had ex.
ceeded his authoritv. The bill would not
be satisfactory to him a. long a. il con-
tanned one remnant OF the Populistic
income tar. Still he thought Il the duty
of the Democrats not to defeat il. but to
modify and pass il. Hill proceeded 10 ex-
plain that he had voted against TeiIer's
motion te table the bin because he did
not desire TO kill the measure before il
was fully considered, and an honest effort
was being made 20 modify It. He had
voted the other day to place iron ore on
the tree list. The vote stood solitary and
alone as far as the Democratic votes were
concerned. He did not anticipate that
the motion he now made would be car
ried. but it ought not To require any ar
gumsnt TO convince the senate that lead
ore should 60 on the free list The De mo-
cratic party stood pledged to it. Lead ore
was . raw material. and the party vas
committed to free raw materials.
Vest replied to Hill The duty proposed
in this bill, he said, vas X Of q cent per
pound. II was the rate ii xed in the Mills
bill, that had received SO much commeu-
dation. 1t was proper. he thought. that
he should make 4 few words of exnian.-
,ion. The Mckinley bill placed a duty of
Iss cents a pound on lead and lead-ylIyer-
bearing ore.
