CARRIERS ADDRESS ON TARIFF AND
BONDS.
Carter began by referring TO the
Senato'a action on February 10, when
the motion to take up ths tArin bill
was defeated. He said that tbs two
houses, before the motion to consider
the bill was made, were endeav0ring
10 bring about conference when
might result In a satisfactory ADJUST
mont OF the differences on the R4.
publican side OF the chamber. The
motion OF Mr.. Morrill, was unexpected,
ana he, with other Republicans, voted
no, anu under the sa-ie circumstances
he would cast similar vote. The
position Indicated nothing more than
that there was no disposition TO take
up the matter at that time. lie said he
would cay no more, were II not Tor the
fact that charges Of disloyalty 10 his
party had been maue by many Repub.
licau papers In the East. Four mem
bers OF the party including himself,
had been pronounced guilty OF treason
without hearing or trial.
He then paid some attention to tho
House tariff bill. IL was admitted
everywhere that the House bill was
not "a Republican measure, but, he SAID,
II vR6 a measure 10 meet an alleged
emtrgency which the cnlei executive
tioutly asserted did not exist NJ all.
nIleosntly certain seli.oonslituted
oensors OF party motion,D Garter con-
tluued, "have been pleased To denOmi-
nate the Republicans who voted
against tho bill as oOnapirat0rs against
the public veal; Others have gone 30
lar ~ TO invite them 10 relieve the
parry OF their obnoxious presence"
He declared that the silver Republi-
cans believed they were right and
were fitm IN their party allegiance.
Mf.Cafter said that business depree.
sion in this country followed tue
election Of 1892 because tRrin reform
meant Tree trads, anu continued; "At
this mOmentOua point the spark Of
genius appeared In one OF tho most de-
tsTmined men this country has ever
known. When the history OF our tunes
shall DO written, MT. Cleveland viii be
accorded the honor OF having Dis.
played tho most marvellous political
tact Of any man Of his lime"
DIT. Carter then referred TO the
financial and tarifi legislation favored
BY the administration, paid his respects
