bankr uptcy of the treasury, or that is nec- essary to reform the currency, 1 will help you; and you ought to volunteer to help us uow.''
 MT. Hill replied to the speech of MT. German, who, be said, should have con- fined himself to vindication of his own course Instead of trying to put other sena- tors in false positions. That senator had been with him (Hil) in his fight against some of the provisions of the tariff bill. That senator had not been aloue iu his predictions of the failure of revenus under tho bill. He tHilD had also made like predictions. He had not voted for the tariff bill which he again alluded to facetiously as 'the German Smith Brice- Wilson act bill,' ,'' and he declined to be held responsible by Mir, German or any body else for any of the evils which it had inflicted on the country. He supposed that the men who voted for bill should be held responsible for it-not those who voted against 1t. The senator from Maryland, instead of complaining of the amendment offered to the urgent deficiency bill, should have been glad to vindicate himself. He (Hill) did not propose now to enter into any discussion about the pToprieiy of the income tax. The distinguished senator from Maryland had been with him Gas he supposed) when he made the attack on that provision of the bill, but one day, after he (HilD had been absent in the north, he returned to the senate chamber and, presto change, the senator from Maryland was in favor of the obnoxious, iniquitous income tax, saii Mr. Hill sar casticaliy, for period of live years. ILau ghIer.
 Then Mir Hill drifted into reference to bis attempt to have the rules changed in the line Of cloture, and accused MT. Cor man with having offered such resolution, which, Mir. Hill said, twould have enabled us to provide the necessary revenue for the governments
 "l know,' he said, "that is utterly im- possible for us to legisate unless these rules are changed,' '' and he referred con. temptuously to the exhibition which the senator from Maryland made today, turn ing round to his republican friends and ap- pealing to them in a piteous manner to come and save this side of the chamber. Laughter in the galleries. ''l do not,' MT. Hill said, ''join in any such account. l would rather be left friendess. Our friends on the other side opposed this tariff reform bill and they do not propose to help us out of our difficulties. That is natural. The patriotic appeal which the senator made to them will not find any response on that side of the chamber '
 In the course of further remarks MT. Hill referred to recent democratic sena- torial caucus, and said that it had done nothing on the subject of currency reform.
 MT. Pugh, democrat, of Aabama-That was one Of the specific subjects before the caucus.
 "What has become of it9'' MT. Hill asked contemptuously. "Is it up in the air, or where is it?" lLaughter:l
 s'The finance committee: '' Mr. Pugh replied, 'did not consider it it's duty tu act on that subject until it is disposed of by the house. After action by the house take it for granted that a committee of this body will consider it and bring it be- fore the senate. l understand that the finance committee is now pondering"-
 Rendering is good," MT. Hill inter- rupted vita sneer
 "Pondering with great care,' MT. Pugh continued with disregard of Mir. Hills re- marks, "and with a sense of the responsi- bility which the senator himself recog- nzes, because the question is full of com plications and difficult cases. No party has ever had the responsibility which is now resting on the democratic party, and that party has ever been able to deal with it without the trouble which now surrounds us. .b
 In the further course of his speech MT. Hill said: "l do not propose today or in the immediate future to submit a financial measure. have my ideas of what ought to be done. But unless we have the rules amended so as to be able to legislate it is practically. useless to present any meas ure.''
 Mir. German made another ort speech In reply to MT. Hill, denying that he had made any '.piteous appeal" to the repub llcan side cf the cham Der and asserting that DO chang the rules were necessary. There had never been, he said, measure pend ing in the senate looking to ameliorating the condition of the party or to advancing their interest or honor at home or abroad which had not been acted upon under the ; existing rules.
 Some remarks were made by Mir. Call, and the senate, after a short executive ses- sion, adjourned at 80 o'cock
