the free raw material resolution OF MIR.
Hewitt. Both Mr.. Mills and Mr. Hewitt
understood that there was conflict be-
tween the doctrine of free raw nnatcrials
and the principles OF the Walker report,
hence MIR. Mills insisted upon his resolu
ton as against Mr.. iiewitts resolution.
aud sir. Hewitt refused TO vote for the res
olution OF MIR. Mills.
Up TO the time that Mr.. Cleveland was
first inaugurated president In 1883 nobody
ever dreamed that the democratic party
would advocate proposition TO exempt
the manufacturers of this country from
their fair share Of taxation, and the propo-
siton was adopted In 1hc Forty ninth con-
gross as tho only possible hope for the
passage Of n tarin bill. In the Forty
eighth congress MIR. Morrison had intro
ducod his famous horizontal reduction bill.
which In spite of the merchess rtdlcule
with which II was treated. was the only
feasible plan a, that time. The republicans
In 1883 pretended to have followed the
recommendations of tho tarih commission.
and claimed that they had made bill
which fairly arranged the eQvs9es betwcS,
the various industries OF the country. IL
that claim was well founded. then any re-
ductiun ought TO have been made upon the
basis of compelling all Industries to meet
IL share aud share alike. Nut. sir, this
moderate. and under the circumstances this
sensible, proposition was defeated. The
motion TO strike out the enac,tng clause of
the hill was carried by vote OF 1872 10 los,
