The Wichita daily eagle., 1897-06-19
any revenue bill is passed it ought to
De equalized in lis benefits"

Mr.. Tillman Is. c. here came in, to
call the attention Of mis- Democratic
brethren TO the rates they had given
il the Wilson bill 10 certain raw ma
terials. If this was a fraud, then the
present contest over taxing raw material
was merely as 20 the amount Of the
fraud. Then Mr.. Tillman added:
And l say plainly. if we are to have
this stealing, want my share for South
Carolina"
There was momentary sensation over
the vehemence of Mr.. Tillman's remar rks.
Mr.. Berry (Ark.) deplored the divi-
sions on the Democratic side, and said
he had hoped that whatever the divi-
sions might be, he would never see a
Democrat protecting the protective tax.
He utterly dissented from thes view that
the south wanted any share of tariff
plumber. The south was the home Of
chivalry and honor. and ii was not from
there that a Democrat would share in
any grab deal.
Mr.. Tillman again arose.
This washing of dirty Democratic lin
en- is nothing new to me-" he declared.
1--WE been doing ii for years and have
been trying TO get the senate 10 do some
OF it,
The senator reviewed the Democratic
policy on the tariff. In speaking of the
tariff contest in Democratic conventions,
Mr. Tillman referred to "the spurious
bastard Of tariff doctrine brought here
by Mr.. Cleveland's tools
Turing TO his associates, he exclaimed
that they had set the example by giving
to the country in 1894 disreputable pro-
tective tariff bill.
Mr.. Burrows (Mich.) attempted 20
bring the debate back 10 the fax ques-
Iion, making plea for a good rate on
the article.
Mr.. Stewart made a general argument
in support Of the policy of a duty on raw
material. He asserted that any other
course was contrary TO the last Demo-
cratic platform. Mr.. Stewart said the
money question was the real question.
Mr.. Jones (Ark) criticized the entire
fax schedule as designed to place a
heavy burden upon the poor. who used
the low grades Of goods. and relieve the
burdens on the high grades. used by
the people Of wealth. He moved 10 re-
duce the rate on fax hacked TO / IL
cents per pound: rejected, 2i-27.
The house rates on hacked and un-
hacked fax were agreed TO.
On tow OF fax, Mr.. Allison moved 20
substitute $40 per ton for the commit
tee rate OF a half cen, per pound.

tute for paragraph 325 providing on "sin-
gle yarns made OF jute not finer than
