Mr.. Lowering, Republican of Massa-

of the cotton manufacturers, he stated,
that they could maintain their business

Mr.. FitzRerald, Democrat of Massa-

Republican colleagues from Massaohu-

Massachusetts Republicans after the en-
aotment Of the Mckinley law, when the
state went Democratic three successive
years.
Mr.. Moody, Republican of Massachu-

raised. but he said the people of Massa-
chusetts had been deceived, as the people
of the whole country had been. But they
had learned their lesson and learned it

not secure prosperity at the expense of
other sections and they were now will

manded for themselves. Several amend
