HOW 1T PASSED THE HOUSE.
Glorious Triumph of the Wilson Tariff
Reform Bill.
(To be CDniinued.)

In the House Of Representatives
at Washington on Feb. | the tariff
debate on the Wilson bill closed
with a burst OF oratory. Crisp.
Reed and Wilson came forward in
the closing hours to argue for and
against the Inauguration Of the new
economical system. The leaders on
both sides were accorded an ova-
ton as they entered the hall. There
was some preliminary lilibustering
on the barley schedule by the Re.
publicans, which only succeeded To
the extent Of consuming time.
Reed said the bill was odious to
both sides Of the House. 1T meets
with favor nowhere. II commands
the respect Of neither party. On
| this side, while we believe that il
preteuds to be- for protection, it
does not afford il, and on the other
side they believe, while il looks to.
ward free trade, it does not accom-
plish il. Those who vote against
this bill will do 80 because il opens
our markets to the destructive com
petition Of foreigners; those who
vote for il will do so with the resnr.
walton that they will instantly lie.
vote themselves to a crusade against
whatever barriers are left"
Speaker Crisp placed Hatch OF
Missouri in the chair and replied To
Reed. He declared that while the
protective system was built up
osteusibly for the benefit Of labor, Il
was actually for the benefit Of the
manufact uring classes, pointing out
that the wages Of laborcrs in pro.
t.ctcd industries went down, while
those in the unprotected went up,
a. a result Of the Mckinley act. He
referred to the artificial condition
produced by protection, which was
Chinese wall, not only shutting
out the world, but shutting in the
United States.
Crisp declared that thirty years Of
protection had been a period of uu.
rest, during which the masses con
stantly rebcllcd against burdensouIa
taxation. They always have been
stilled at the polls by Republican
promises to reduce the tariff. Elect
ed. the latter surrendered them
selves, body aud soul, to the manu-
facturers. He pointed to the Chi
nese as an example Of the protective
policy Of 100 years.
