Mr. swanson tDem,) of Virginia, a MEM
per 81 tie committee on ways and means
commences ms speech by referring to the
great political revolutions which have oc.
CURED In This country for the last twelve
years at every National election. He
cialths that 4 dM not indicate any tickle
honest effort on their part to obtain the
prosperity they sought. He said that in
less than four years two extraordinary
sessions OF congress in times OF profound
peace mad been called to remedy the eN-
listing depressed conditions. lie INSISTED
that the present events could have arisen
from a deficient revenue or from thc Inn
rared credit of the government. lie ar
gued that the want of adequate protec-
ton for American Industries could NOT
be the cause of TIN. present depression;
true would be that there had been an
increased importation OF foreign ceod,
ana that this Importation had Hooded -he
markets and prevented the sale of home
goods.
He argued that the depressed condition
OF the manufacturing industries had not
resulted from foreign competition, but
taken II, but because his customers We're
too poor to make purchases; that relief
could not come to the manufacturer until
the price of wheat. corn. oats, tobacco
and other products increased.
He insisted tnat The low price of these
products resulted from the appreciation
silver was demonetized. He said that the
committee had left the Impression thai
the sugar trust only received a differential
Of one-eghth Of q, cent per pound. but
the differential in favor of the trust
ranged from u to rs of a cent per pound.
In conclusion, he characterized the bill
as most exorbitant in IT'S exactions, the
most prohibtory in Its character and the
most Ubiquitous ever sought to be enacted
in this country.

evade the real issue before the country.
