supposed Mr.. Grosvenor was trying to
have a little fun at his expense. Seri-
ously however he replied to Mr.. GrosVe-
nor's question in the affirmative. He
was always willing, he said, to uphold
the president of the United States when
he was discharging his duties under the
constitution.
AGAINST THE RESOLUTIONS.
Mr.. Draper, of Massachusetts,
member of the committee, in few
words explained his position against
the resolutions of a censure. This was
not, he thought, time for sensation
alism He agreed that Mr.. Bayard
utterances were hardly appropriate,
but did not think they merited such
harsh action. The last resolution, de-
precating partisan speech by diplo-
matte representatives, he thought en-
tirely proper. He therefore asked that
the resolutions be divided and a Sepa-
rate vote had on each.
Mr.. Cousins, of Iowa, also a member
of the committee, supported the resolu-
tons. This deliberate and uneX-
ampled breach of diplomatic etiquette"
said Mr.. Cousins, this ungrateful, un-
provoked and unbecoming insult to a
majority of the people of America, to
her distinguished living and to her
honored dead, by one who bore their
confidence, their mission and creden-
tials. must not be left unchallenged,
since it has entered the annals of our
diplomatic history"
Mr.. Bayard, Mr. Cousins declared
toadied to the school of Manchester and
to his own prejudice, and told Great
Britain that protection In America had
banished men Of independent mind and
character from it's public councils, when
he knew that the list of its illustrious
advocates, beginning with the distin-
guished names of Washington and
Madison and Franklin had never
ceased TO grow where progress marked
the way, until it had recorded In the
register of Independent minds and fame
the names of Clay, Jackson Webster,
Lincoln, Grant Garfield, Randall and
OF Blaine; and he knew that almost on
the very day he uttered that indict-
ment the list of Independent minds
that championed the doctrine of pro-
lection in America had grown to the
greatest and most significant majority
that ever spoke their independence at
a popular election in this country.
Continuing. Mr. Cousins said
Why Mr. Speaker even Edinburgh knows
that the champion of protection took the
treasury OF the United States for a Dem
ocratlc free trade vacuum and filed it up with
gold and silver coin. And from the time
the party of protection took the treasury
there was never deficiency for twenty-fve
successive years until the black raven of
free trade perched again above our treasury
door and hooted, Surplus, surplus. never
more"
No Mr.. Speaker our ambassador to Great
Britain has not only violated the regulations
of his commission, not only been false to his
position, but false to the facts of his own
country Who would have thought that
within forty years after the eyes OF the i'm
mortal Lincoln were closed in martyr death
amid the homage and alteration of this great
and grateful land, that within so brief a time
the ambassador of his country to the moth
delicate requirements of his high position
as to thus stigmatiZe and vilify the honest
followers of one of the first and dearest prin-
ciples of the great emancipator?
Mr.. Cousins speech aroused great
enthusiasm. He concluded with a burst
of eloquence that fairly set the house
af1ame Members streamed up the aisle
to offer their congratulations, and it
was fully q minute before order was
restored.
DINSMORE TO THE RESCUE.
Mr. Dinsmore, Of Arkansas, opposed
the resolutions. He could not hope to
equal in brilliancy and eloquence, he
said, the speech Of Mr. Cousins. He
must rely upon the strength of his
cause. This remark provoked jeers
from the Republican side. Gentle
men may ieer," said he, but when I
examine these resolutions and that
which provoked them, l assert that
there is strength in this cause. If Mr.
Bayard has done anything to disgrace
the country, why has not the original
resolutions to impeach him been
preSSed?" There were, he affirmed,
nothing in the instructions to diplomats
that would prevent expressions of
opinions as an American citizen. Pro-
M
Bayard's utterances on the subject of
protection, and defended them. He
quoted from Senator Chambers inter
view of yesterday about the levies on
protected industries by the boomers
of Mckinley. This statement brought
Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio, to his feet.
DO you indorse that statement" he
asked.
Il give you the testimony of a dis
tinguished Republican" replied Mr..
Dinsmore. Personally, it is matter
seriously beyond my ken"
Il deny it, said Mr.. Grosvenor, tm-
phatically. Il stamp it as an unmit-
igated falsehood and 1 defy anybody to
prove it."
reaching out to the protected industries
for aid' returned Mr.. Dinsmore, ut
tends to prove what Mr.. Bayard said.
Mr.. Chandler has made those state
ments, and Mr.. Grosvenor has denied
them" interrupted Mr.. Barrett. will
you deny, will anybody deny that the
mission to Italy was bargained for and
sold for $50,000?"
Il deny it," shouted Mr.. Srlzer of
New York. TT is not true"
Mr.. Dinsmore continuing read fur
ther allegations of Mr.. Chandler about
Doodle and "fat-frying," to the great
amusement of the Democrats. "Mr.
Bayards message" he concluded,
'came as a glad message to the man
hood of America; to those who believed
that the masses should not be taxed
for the benefit of the few If others
believed in taxation for special classes,
he cared not Let the CALLED jade
vince" Democratic applause)
At $50 the house adjourned. The de-
bate will be concluded tomorrow.
