In conclusion he declared that he had been
willing to fight the Tariff bill until "the sullen
and silent majority wQs compelled to relax Its
hold" But he realized that the bill was to be-
come a law. Protection had fastened Its deadly

Mr.. Allen spoke for nearly an hour, and was
followed by Mr.. Gallery Dem, La-L who dis
cursed the sugar features of the bill. He said
that q duty on sugar was the keystone Of Demo

was the keystone Of Republican protection
policy. He prophesied commercial and meroan-

the bill. the effect of which no characterized as
an assassination Of trade"
Mr.. Burrows of Michigan was the first Repub-

100000 900, that 1t gave employment to 800.-
900 people, and paid in wages in q single year

on lumber were the lowest rates in the bill, being
only from Is TO 1S per cent. nd valorem, and
only 10 per cent. on white pine at 81 per LOO
In conclusion Mr.. Burrows said that IL the
protective policy failed now, 1t would be the frat
time in American history that 1t had failed. The
