WASHINGTON, D. c., June 9.-The
venerable Senator Morrill, OF Vermont,
chairman of the Finance Committee, was
in the Senate to-day, after an illness OF
some weeks.
A concurrent resolution offered by Allen
OF Nebraska was agreed to, Matchmaking
the Trans Mississippi Exposition to be
held at Omaha, and requesting the Presi-
dent 10 invite foreign nations to partici-
pate.
A joint resolution on the same general
subject was agreed to, suspending the i'm
migration and Chinese exclusion laws so
as TO permit foreign labor to take charge
OF foreign exhibits at the Trans Mississippi
Exposition.
Consideration of the tariff bill was re-
sumed at 1915 NJ No mention was
made as to the time of taking up the
sugar schedule and the debate proceeded
on the agricultural schedule.
On the rice paragraph Allison, in charge
OF the bill, Withdrew the committee
amendments reducing the House rates,
thus leaving the House rates stand.
Mills of Texas moved TO strike out the
entire Iice paragraph and substitute new
one placing a uniform duJy of 40 per cent
ad valorem on all grades of rice. Re
iected-19 to 40. Five DemOcrats-Bacon,
Clay, McEnery, McLaurin and Tillman-
and four opulisIs-Ailen, Butler, Heit-
field and Stewart-voted with the Repub-
licans in the negative.
The rice paragraph was then agreed to
as 1t came from the House. Rye and rye
flour were agreed TO as reported.
stricken out by the Senate. On the ques-
ton of agreeing TO this change RawIins
of Utah took the floor to answer Vests
statement yesterday that new evangeP'
of Democratic doctrine was being pro-
claimed by certain Democratic Senators.
Rawlins said he had been a membe of
the committee on resolutions and plat
form at the Chicago convention, present
ing ihs tariff clause which had been under
discuss on. 1t was on his motion that it
was agreed TO.
Lindsay of Kentucky, platform in hand,
interrupted to ask Rawlns, since he pre-
Democratic word 'only" after tariff for
revenue came to be omitted.
WAS it an Intentional omission ?"
Lindsay asked.
II think not" responded Rawlins.
Il can throw some light on that sub
lect, 81 tQ Illlman, VINO was also men,
ber of the Committee on Platform at
Chicago. 1t was omitted purposely after
discussion.
Mills made an attack upon the whole
bill. He spoke of schedules being ''ad-
justed and readjusted and unadjusted and
readjusted again" for the sake OIL ''monu-
mental trust fund" which the measure
was intended to raise. The TAXPAYER, ne
said, had right to be heard IN the coun-
ellis of The Nation when his property was
TO be taken by an act of Legislative
raplne" and distributed among those who
have given no consideration. Mills said
there had been struggle of late years TO
switch the Democratic party out o. its
beaten path ana make it walk blindfoIded
into tae protection camp. He denounced
the proposed duties wool, iron ore
coal and other raw material. By having
all raw materials on the free list and a
duty only on finished products all the
cotton product of the United States could
be manufactured here instead of sending
two-lhirds of it to be manufactured in
England.
The question has been asked recently in
the Senate, he said, as to how MANY mil
lionaires there were in the United States.
The answer was to be found in the article
by Thomas G. Shearman, showing that
there were 200 persons worth S20, 600 OOA
each, 400 worth $l00CO,O0O each. 1OO)
worth S., 000, 900 and 900 worth 81 600 900
each-altogether $500, worth In the aggre-
gate $24 coo, Oo0 600. And this legislation,
he SAID, was intended 20 add to this
monstrous wealth at the expense of the
people. He spoke OF the daughters of
