hours, half of that time being given
to Mr. Stewart of Nevada in a vigor
Gus assault on the gold combine. In
one respect the senator presented a
new phase of the subject with which

in senate speeches. He urged that
the great depreciation of silver gave
10 the cheap labor of Asia ire
mendous advantage in competing with
the domestic products Of the Ameri-
can market Japan in particular, he
of 90 per cent between our money
and that OF Japan, and japanese mer-
chants were today underselling our

goods The only means OF averting
this complete commercial supremacy
of the Asiastics was 10 place gold and

assembled. Representative Mccall Of
fered a resolution calling upon the
president to report to the house
whether he had taken any steps to
ascertain If the reports of the speeches
Ambassador Bayard had delivered in
England were true; and if true, what
steps, If any, had been taken to recall
or censure said Bayard. Mr.. Nc
Creary (dem., Ky), Immediately OBJ
jected, when Mr.. McCalPs colleague,
Mr. Barrett, came forward to a ques
tion of privilege and sending to the
clerks desk, had read a resolution for
the impeachment of Mr.. Bayard. Both
resolutions complained of Mr.. Bayard's
reflections on Americas protective
system as state socialism and of his
reference to United States needing
real man" like Cleveland to govern
"a strong, gelf-confident and often
times violent people" Mr.. Crisp dem.
Ga), objected to Mr.. Barrett's resolu
ton as not privileged, but Speaker
Reed oyerruled him. Barrett made a
brief speech saying that Mr.. Bay
dld was 5SShlHS W dS6l uhhlAC llo
party at the expense of his country,
and citing the senate's action in Van
Burens case as justifying his resolu-
ton. Mr.. Dingley rep, Me), took the
ground that Bayard was an ambassa-
dor Of United States and the question
was whether he should so far forget
his duties as to denouncc the policies
Of one-half the people of United
States. In a reply to a question by
Crisp, DingIey declared that his per
sonal opinion was that the offense Of
Bayard was Improbable and that he
ought to be impcaChed by the house.
Whether it was policy for the house
to imreach, was another question. II
believe" concluded Dingley, that an
example should be made Of some Of
these gentlemen who constantly are
violating the principles and propriety
of official life. Bayard should be pub
licly condemned" After further de-
bate Barrett, on suggestion of Hit, re-
quested unanimous consent that hts
resolution be SO modified that that
portion of the resolution making it
mandatory upon the committee to re-
port "by impeachment, or otherwise,
should be stricken out" This was
done and the resolution adopted 2O6
to 80.

DR.. TROMPSON'S LECTURE IN
SHELBY.

The Alliance Lecturer claimed he
was an Alliance man, but he gave a
Populist speech, telling the people their
liberties were in danger and their
rights were invaded. He denounced
the sins of Democracy, but said not
one word against his Republican allies
for that would not do. He upheld the
cause of silver and denounced gold
bugs, but said nothing about the Re-
publican party demonetizing silver as
a standard of measure in 1873 Why
did he not show up the party that
struck down silver in 1878? Echo
answers.
He defended the Chicago strike and
Debs' Imprisonment was denounced as
al usurpation of rights and an inva
sion of liberty. The strikers plundered
half a million dollars worth of goods,
destroyed and robbed trains and in
this riot many were killed, yet he said
not one word against the tyrannical and
bowling mob of cut throats and he de
feLded their leader Debs whose trial and
Imprisonment was before the highest
tribunal and pronounced ustand legal,
He defended Debs and his burning mob
yet ne said % a word about the new
Republican Judge Ewart fining the edi,
tor of the Asheville Citizen 800 and pro-
nouncing one month imprisonment for
contempt of court for criticising a
judge. Judge Ewart did not have a
jury to try the editor, just like Debs'
case, yet the Alliance lecturer did not
howl over q case in North Carolina
that happened in July, 1895. Why go
back to Debs and forget a poor North
Carolina editor fined by a judge for a
criticism of his legal ac5s? What meat
does this newly fedged judge feed upon
that his majesty is above criticism.
Judge Tart wants to uphold the mai
esty of his j~udgeship.

England despotically and boasted of
