Democrat" on the stump, he was
barely beaten by 400. The next year
he was elected Governor by a plurality
of $4,000, and last fall he had carried
the State by $1,000. the largest major
ity ever given in Ohio in a Presidential
year.
Bell Pop.) of Colorado, interrupted
Grosvenor to call his attention to the
fact that during the last campaign ora
tors in his section had said disaster
should Immediately follow Cleveland S
election in 1892, and that the great re-
vival would begin Immediately the
country was assured of Mckinley S
election.
Il do not know who those political
brethren were," said Grosvenor
well they We're numerous" put in
Bell.
They We're right continued Gros-
venor. Disaster began the day after
Cleveland was elected. The revival be-
gan the day after Mckinley was elect
ed. Since that day there has been add
ed to the volume of real and personal
property of our citizens sum equal to
hundred thousand times the amount
of the national debt
"Oh," cried the Democrats, as they
jeered this response, while Bell pointed
out that for two months after the cleo
ton the commercial agencies each
week reported the general disappoint-
ment that there had been no revival of
trade, but instead reported the greatest
list of failures in the history of the
country.
Grosvenor replied that it was a mat
ter of wonder there had not been ten
failures to every one which occurred.
Failures We're the result of a long series
of misfortunes.
Ogden CD of Louisiana asked Gros-
venor to correct his figures as to the
business revival, saying they exceeded
all bounds.
Grosvenor 1aughingly admitted that
perhaps in his enthusiasm he had over
shot the mark, but he insisted that the
revival had increased the value of prop
erty at least one hundred times the
amount of the national debt
subsequently Grosvenor created much
amusement by challenging the Demo-
Gratis to offer either the Wilson bill as
it passed the House or the present law
The Wilson bill could not secure five
votes on that side of the House." said
he, ''and not ten of you would dare to
vote for the present law and go back
and look your constituents in the face.
The bill confessedly wrecked the coun-
try. but thank God, it also wrecked the
Democratic party" daughter and ap-
plause)
In glowing peroration, he said the
Democratic party would sit on the
Stygian shore and read it's record by the
red light of hell, While every principle
upon which the republic was founded
would continue to shine in the bright
diadem of the Republican party.
Evans (R) of Kentucky, a member of
the Ways and Means Committee, ar
gued that the bill was distinctly an
American measure, which discriminat-
ed against neither class nor section.
Maddox CD of Georgia challenged
Evans statement that the bill was not
sectional. He said there was an infant
industry in Georgia and Alabama, the
production of bauxite, or aluminium
clay, which had asked protection, and
it had been refused
'The gentleman from Georgia should
not be certain there will not be duty
on bauxite," interrupted Dalzell R.)
of Pennsylvania. Il favor it, and we
may place a duty on it,
Il am glad to hear it, said Maddox.
"Then, so far as bauxite is concerned,
you are a protectionist? asked Walk
er (R.) Of Massachusetts.
