NIr Hin replied to the speech Of Mr.
German He wished. he said. that Senator
German had confined himself to a vindi-
cation Of his own course, instead Of try
ing TO put other senators i'm a false posi-
ton. That senator had been with him
HuD i'm his fight against some of the pro
visions of the tarln bill. THAT senator had
not been alone i'm his predictions of the
failure Of revenues under the bin He
GIr. HID had also made a like prediction.
He had not voted for the tariff hin which
he again alluded to facetiouslv as .The
Gorman-Smith- Brice- Wilson-&-Co. Bill"
and he declined TO be held responsible by
Mr. German or ANYBODY else for any of
the evils which it had inflicted on the
country. He supposed that the men who
voted for "a bill should be held responsible
for it-not those who voted against ii. The
senator from MARYLAND. instead OF com
planning Of the amendment offered to the
urgent deficiency bill. should have been
clad of the oDportunitv afforded him to
vindicate himself That was an opnor-
tunity which the senator doubtless long
sought He Ont. HID did not propose now
to enter into any discussion about the
DrourlotN of the income tax. The distin-
guished senator from MARYLAND had been
with him (as he stlpposed) when he made
the attack on that provision of the bill
but on one day-aftcr he tAIr HID had
been absent in the north, he returned TO
the Senate chamber and-presto change,

Senate changed, in the line Of closure, and
accused Mr.. German with having opposed
such a change, which would, Mr.. Hill
said, have enabled us to provide the
necessary revenue for the government. I
know he continued, that II is utterly
impossible for us to legislate unless these
rules are changed. and ne referred con-
temptuously to the exhibition which
the senator from Maryland made to-day,

such appeal. l would appeal rather TO
our own friends here-if we are in the
majority. The appeal of the senator
Will be in vain.
"Our friends on the other side opposed
this tariff reform BILL and they do not
propose 10 Aelp US out OF our QllHculles.
That is natural The patriotic appeal
which the senator made TO them VIII not

In the course Of further remarks, Mr.
Hill referred to a recent democratic SEN
atorial caucus. and said that il had done
nothing on the subject of currency re-
form.
