Mr.. Grosvenor said that after the
Republican party had passed the tar
if bill as it came from the committee,
it would go on legislating for the bene-
fit of the country, without advice. con-
seEt or suggestion from the Demo-
Gratis.
THE CHIEF TROUBLE
Mr.. Newlands (Sil.. Nev.) said the
chief trouble was that half of the basic
money had been stricken down, and he
desired legislation against the parent
trust. not its offspring and victims,
which were striving to relieve some
what the conditions under which the
people are suffering.
Mr.. Bland (Dem., MOI said he was
surprised at the effrontery of Repuh-
licans in asking the chair to decide the
amendment out of order in violation of
all parliamentary law. He asserted
that the action of the Republicans. was
in the interest of trusts.
Mr. Money (Rep., Minno said the
motive of the gentleman who offered
the amendment, and CT those who have
supported him, was to make little
cheap political capital before the coun-
try When the conference report on
the antitrust law was brought into
the house in the Fifty-first congress,
Mr.. Bland raised the question of con-
sidaration of that question. Messrs.
Bland. Dockery. Richardson, Mcmillan.
Lanham, Holmes, Robertson of Louisl-
ana and other Democratic leaders
voted against consideration They
were not sincere then, or they We're
not sincere now. Republican ap-
plause)
Mr.. Richardson met his assertion by
the charge of unfair quotation from
-En,aNL- hot
M Bland had raised the question of
consideration, not because he was OPP
posed to the trust, or because ne stated
that he was in favor of it, but TO test
the sense of the house as to whether
or not. it would take up the silver bill.
(Derisive laughter on Republican side
and applause on Democratic9
VIGOROUS AND BREEZY.
Mr.. Henderson. CRep. la. in his
vigorous, breezy fashion. paid his re-
spects to the Democrats for introduce
ing this political discussion. He ap-
pealed to both sides to proceed with
the consideration of the bill, and stop
old stump speeches.
Mr.. Dingley briefly discussed the
point of order he had made. 1t was
urged in the interests of an orderly
procedure in the consideration of the
bill. When the time arrived for deal
ing with trusts, the house could rest
as sured that the Republicans would
deal with the issue. The discussion on
the amendment was intended to delay
or prevent legislation to provide reve-
nue. for the government and TO en-
the industries Of the United
States. But we shall go forward"
he said, and when we have accom-
plished that If any other subject de- |
mands attention we shall attend to it |
in due time. (Applause.)
Chairman Sherman ruled that the |
was not in order. From |
this decision Nh. Dockery appealed, but |
the chair was sustained on a division |
by vote of 156 to 106.
Amendments proposed by Messrs. |
McRae, (Dem. Ark, Cooper, Dem. |
Tex), and Robinson intended, as was
Mr.. Dockery's, to put articles controll
81 by trusts on the free list, or to re-
luce the duty. We're also ruled out on
the same ground.
Mr.. Smith, Dem. Ariz), offered an
amendment directing collectors of Gus
-oms to receive silver bullion of 4121s
grains weight for every dollar of du-
les.
Mr.. Dingley made the point that that

which was also sustained.
