was defeated by of q TO % he thought that
the bill was hopelessly defeated. Still he had felt
that it his duty in important matter to
give opportunity for change Of mind on the
part some Senators. 1t was perfectly obvious
that the Republican party was in a minority

The bill had been defeated on February Is by
combination of five Populst votes and four Re-
publican votes with Democratic votes He did not
think from the vote just taken that there had been
any change far The Republicans on the FIJI
nance Committee would welcome any decent bill
that would Increase the OF the Govern

concerned, he did not think that 1t would be becom

MIR. TELLER GETS ANGRY.
Mr. Teller Rep.. Coi) made an angry speech
against what he construed TO be the meaning OF
some Of Mr. Morr!lrs remarks-the reading OF the
silver Republicans out of the Republican party. He
declared his intention to vote all the time against
the House Tariff bill and remain in the Repub-
ican party spite of the suggestion OF the Senator
from Vermont.
Mr. Morrill, dsavowed having said anything about
reading Senator's out OF the Republican party. He
had merely SAID that the Republican party was In
a minority In the Senate.
Mr. Teller persisted in the correctness Of his con-
sruction of Mr. Morrilrs remarks, and in the course
OF his speech alluded contemptuousy to the Cleve-
lard Democracy and the Morrill, Republicanism'
He declared that the silver Republicans could get
along without the party wei. as the party could
get along without them. They were not TO be
frightened b. the OF the chairman Of the
Finance Committee by the attacks OF the metro
politan press.
Mr. Sherman Rep.. Ohio, a member Of the
Finance Committee, deprecated all partisan feeling
in relation TO the House Tariff bill That bill did
not belong to any party. Its on.y merit was TO
furnish s+lOOOgo additional to the revenues OF the
Government: 1t was Dill 10 proVide lor an ocCa-

country and 20 civilization that the Government OF
the United States was now spending s501OVo

MIR. SHERMAN APPEALS FOR ACTION
II do not care" Mr.. Sherman declared excitedy,
what the President says. Every ody within the
sound OF my voice knows that we need more reve-

PROTECTION AND BIMETALLISM.
The discussion ran in this way all through the
morning hour on the question OF bimetallism Mr.
Plat rep Comm said that the only honest defn-
ton of blmetalsm which had been put forth in this
country was the definition put forth In the Republic
can platform of 1892 What the Senator from Ne
braska (Nir Allen) meant was silver monometasm
and nothing else The Republican party. Mr.. Platt
continued was going into the next campaign the
nlatforn OF 1872 with relation 10 silver ana gold II
Needed no other p.afOrm "Ot course" he said, L
cannot speak for the Republican party; but | can
say as one member OF II, that believe II will go
INTO the campaign on the doctrine OF protection and
the doctrine OF bmetalsm as laid down in the plat
form Of 1892. and when the Aver monometallists OF
,6is couutrv propose to antasonze protection with
the unlimited coinage OF silver, the death kre Of
that delusion and craze has struck"
In closing tile debate the House Tariff bill, Mr.,
Eve (Rep Me- made an !mpassioned speech, de-
claring that he had been writing 10 his constituents
Snr months that that bill was dead. and the votes
taken to-day and TWO weeks ago showed that he
right and that the bill was dead as Julius Caesar.
