lege, which was sustained by the Speaker.
The resolution declares that Ambassador
Bayard IN his speech, at Edinburgh, de-
clared that In his own country he nau
witnessed the Unsuitable growth or that
form of state socialism, styled protec-
ton, which he believed had done more
to foster class legislation, and create
inequality OF fortune, to corrupt pubic
life to Danish nIen OF independent ininu

QUOTING MR.. BAYARD.
"Step by step and largely owing 70
the confusion or civic strife, 1t has sue
ceede,l In obtaining control OF the sover-
eign power of taxation, never hesitatlnS
at any alliance or to resort to any COM
bination that promised to assist It's pur-
poses of perverting the public taxation
from its only true jurisdiction and func-
ton OF creating revenue for the support
of the whole people into an engine for
selfish private profit of Gro wd or
beneficiaries and combinations, called
| trusts. Under its dictation Individual
enterprise and independence have Deen
oppressed and the energy OF discovery
and invention debiiitated and discouraged.
..It had unbesitatingly allied itself with
every policy wnicn tended to commercial
ISOLATION dangerously depleted the Treas
ury, and sapped the popular conscience
by scheuies OF corrupting favor and iargesse
to special classes, whose support was
thereby attracted.
Thus IL lad done much TO throw legis-
lation into the political market, where
Jobbers and choppers took the place or
statesmen.
PROTECTION AS A POLICY.
"It was incorrect 20 speak of protection
as a national policy, for that it could
never be. because IL never could be other
than the fostering OF special interests
at the expense of the rest and this over
threw the great principle OF equality
before the law, and that resultant sense
of justice and equity in the administra-
ton OF sovereign powers, which was the
sense OF domestic tranquility and human
contentDient.
The enfeeblement of Individual energies
and the impairment of many self-relianoes
were necessarily involved, and the be-
lief in mysteries OF the state, and q re
lance upon them took the place OF in
diyidual excrtion, fostered the growth of
state socialism and personal liberty ceased
to be the great end fthe government"
Inhis speech, delivered atBoston, England,
Mr.. Bayard is quoted as having said:
THE President stands In the midst OF
q strong, self-confident and often times
violent people. men who desire 10 have
their own way, and who need to have that
way frequently obstructed, and l tell YOU
plainly. it takes a real man TO govern
the people of tue United States"
MR.. DINGLEY AROUSED.
In the course of his remarks on the
resolution Mr.. Dingley said his judgment
was that such language used in a foreign
country by an ambassador of the United
States was an impeachable offense. IRE
publican appiause.l Whether il was wise
to impeach Mr.. Bsyard was another ques-
tiou. But he had no doubt that the ofrense
was sn impeacuable one, aud ought to be.
IL United States amba sSadors violated
the proprieties of their position In this
way an example should be made by Inn
peaching one of them. He regretted that
n question of this kind should take a
partisan turn. 1t was not a question be-
tween the advocates of protection and the
advocates of free trade, but simply as to
the propriety of the conduct of a United
States ambassador in a foreign country.
He could not believe that there was a
single gentleman on the other side of the
chamber who would approve of the principle
of United States amba ssador going on
the platform in a foreign country and de.
uouneng a policy susta lined by at least
oue-half of the people of this country.
He thought an expression should be made
by the House of Representatives con-
demnine such course by a United States
amba ssador: that n person so violating the
properties Of his position should be re-
called, and that one be sent in his place
who would have some regard for the
prophecies of his official position. There
ought to be no difference of opinion as to
the propriety and tue necessity of con-
demnipg it.
AMOS CUMMINGS INNING.
Mr.. Cummings, DEM, N. Y, said he bad
no particular love for the United States
ambassador to England. He had not for
gotten that Mr.. Bayard had not done what
he should have done toward the release Of
Irish prisoners, citizens of the United States,
who were uujustly incarcerated in Eng
lish prisons.
He had not forgotten that Mr.. Ba yard
was a welcome guest in the House of the
English aristocracy and was but rarely
invited to a Liberal banquet; but at the
same time he should be treated with JUS
ticc by even the Republican members of
the House.
What had been read from NJ. yards
remarks resembled very much what had
been read from executive documents; and
Mr.. Bayard had only been reitera ting that
which the President of the United States
had repeatedly declared in his messages
and In his letters to Congress.
II the United States amba assador at Lon
don ought to he impeached for expressing
such sentiments, tnen the President Of
the United States ought to he impea ched.
If the resolution was not offered unless
false pretcnses, why did not the gentleman
from Massachusetts bring in a resolution
impeaching the President?
SEEK THE SOURCE.
go TO the fountain head, gentlemen"
Mr.. Cummings exclaimed. "You have
been taking it here for nearly eight years
from the frrsitient of the United States,
and not whisper have we heard of iD-
peachrDent. But the instant that a Cnitrd
States ambas ssador in q foreign country
