HILL PULLS THE RECORD.

HILL PULLS THE RECORD.
He (HilI} did not intend to offer a
scheme of remedial legislation To do
SO would be idle until rules were chang
ed The senator from Maryland at
tempted to set his judgment I'D as
superior TO that of some OF his asso-
ciates. Past events, he begged to as
sure Eia, had shown that he was no
wiser than others. With bitter irony
he quoted the concluding words OF
MIR. Germans speech on the occasion
of the passing of the tariff bill when
that senator enjoined patience, for
beaEance and virtue on the Democratic
masses: spoke of the rising sun of
brighter day in the horizon and pre-
dicted victory and success at the No
vember elections
.At the time" continued Mr. Hill,
The predicted victory. Now he says he
all along anticipated defeat voted
against the bill hoping that after it
passed the senate it would be modified
in conference but when circumstances
forced the house to accept 1t, it went to
the president. 1t might have been bet
ter if he had returned it for correction,
but when he, in his wisdom allowed 1t
to become a law, it became a party
measure and from that time / ceased
criticism of it and as a Democrat tried
to make myself believe it was fair and
just measure. AS party man tried
to strengthen it before the people.
After the election I accepted the YER
dict and would never have alluded to
personal vindication, hoped for or an
ticipated, had it not been for the re-
mark Of the senator from Maryland.
Mr.. German was again on his feet as
soon as Mr.. Hill closed. He spoke very
quietly at first, but with evident feel
ing. He disclaimed desire to have
personal controversy with the senator
from New York. He was not in the
habit of making explanations. He was
guided always by one rule OF bringing
his best Judgment to bear on propo-
sition and then abiding by that judy
ment There was another rule he said
which he was not in the habit of follow
ing, and that was to confer, to consult
with his associates and abide by the
Judgment of his party. AS to the tariff
law as a whole, Mr.. German saids that
If the Democracy-from its head to It's
most humble member-had given the
measure generous support the result OF
last November would have been diff
ferent. He did not anticipate that the
senator from New York would be found
fighting with the Republicans against
that bill No dominant party could
have succeeded in the midst of the ter
rible depression that existed last sum-
mer. He did not want to be disagree
able to the senator from New York.
He had not commented upon his course
but his position as it was now dehned
by himself was a legitimate subject OF
comment. And If his idea was carried
out it would further decrease the
revenues forty million dollars: His
proposition was unfair. 1t would be
disastrous to the country.
Now, I say to the senator from New
York" said he, bring forth your meas
ure for relief and if it Is proper meas
ure. one that commands majority In
this chamber, we will pass it"
With final protest against MS
course and an appeal to both sides OF
the chamber for patriotic action Mr:
German concluded and Mr.: Can OF
FLORIDA took the floor. Mr.. Call urged
the necessity Of an income tax. The
senate held a brief executive session,
and at Sis p. M, adjourned.
