In conclusion he said that the policy
of protection had driven our flag from
the high seas, impoverished the labor
ing man and multiplied farm mort.
cages.
MIR Newlands (Silverite, New then
took the floor as the spokesman of his
party, which numbers three members
in the house.
Tariff and Silver. Too.
Mr.. Newlands said the alliance be-
tween Democrats, Populists and silver
Republicans still continued and was
likely to amalgamate the allied forces
into one strong party with silver as the
supreme and dominant issue, ell others
being subordinated to it, and the larg-
est tolerance being exercised toward
differences of opinion on these other
questions
Though it is sometimes difficult to
determine the exact issues settled by q
campaign, there can be no question
that as to the tariff, the popular verdict
at the last election was in favor of pro-
lection, and that it gave the Republi-
can party a contract for prosperity,
and the party should, in his Judgment,
be allowed to carry out any reasonable
tariff policy without distractions, and
with expedition. However necessary
it might be to have protection Mr.
Newlands asserted it was more neces-
sary to have monetary legislation. The
restoration of bimetallism conjointly
with reasonable tariff legislation,
would in his Judgment protect every
American interest, and thus bring back
revived prosperity to our home in
dustries, our mines, our farms, our
plantations and our factories, as well
as to the commercial, transportation
and banking interests which were de.
pendent upon them.
1hs Abuse of President Cleveland.
MrLacey (Rep., Ia. the next speaker,
commented on the abuse of President
Cleveland by Democrats and Populists,
and said that in the debate not one
kind word had been said in behalf of
the only man who carried the Demo-
cratic party to power in a quarter of a
century. The Populists who abused
the Democratic party in 1892 were it's
leaders in 1896.
Mr.. Handy (Dem., Del.)-Is it not
pretty hard for the Republican party to
turn on the gold Democrats who helped
it with such tariff bill as this?
MIR. Lacey-The gold Democrats have
sach hostility to Republican tariff
as they had in 1892. The attacks on
President Cleveland were really made,
Mr. Lacey insisted, on account Of his
action during the Chicago strike in
keeping the peace.
call honor to him for his noble stand
on that occasion" he added. The Re-
publicans had not attacked the Cleve-
land administration for issuing bonds,
but for the policy that made them
necessary
Mr. McLaurin Dem, S. c. mem-
Der of the ways and means committee
was the next speaker,
Mr. McLaurin's speech was on pro-
tective lines for Southern industries.
He advocated duty on cotton to keep
out Egyptian grown cotton and also
favored protection on cotton manufac-
turesSand other articles of Southern
production.

THE MINORITY REPORT.

Bailey of Texas Voices the Opposition to
the Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, March 24-Mr Bailey
of Texas has presented to the house
the minority report on the tariff bill.
The report was signed by all the Demo
cratic members of the ways and means
committee and gives the grounds OF
their opposition to the bill 1t says in
part:
'This bill was framed with the
avowed purpose of protecting the man
foreign competition, and it is perfectly
obvious that if it accomplishes that
purpose it must result in compelling
the consumers of this country to pay
more for their manufactured goods,
and for this reason we think it should
not pass. We rest our opposition
Upon the Broad Principle
that congress was invested with the
power of taxation as a means of col
lecting from each citizen his fair pro.
portion toward the support of the gov
eminent, and that it is gross perver-
sion of that sovereign power to employ
it as means of enabling favored
classes to levy unjust charges upon the
body of the people. We believe that
after contributing his proper share
toward the maintenance of the govern
ment every citizen of this republic is
entitled to the full possession and en-
joyment Of all he can honestly earn
and we deny the right Of congress to
make or enforce any regulation which
requires one man to give any part OF
his honest earnings toward encourag-
ing the enterprise or increasing the
fortune of another"

The Philadelphia Times gives an ac-
count of a singular accident which oc-
CURED the other day in that city. Two
italian boys, with hand organ and a
monkey, were amusing q crowd and
incidentally collecting pennies at u
street corner, when the monkeys atten-
ton was caught by a roll Of pasteboard
which he found near the curbstone.
Angelo, the older boy, who was
turning the crank, stopped for mo-
ment to chide the monkey for his mat
tention to business. The Gliding had
no effect, and the other fellow, Michael,
after some difficulty, got the paste
board and carried it to his brother,
who. with a curiosity equal to the
monkeys, began striking it against the
organ.
The crowd by this time was edging
back, and several voices called to the
Italians to be careful what they were
about; for the crowd saw plainly
enough that the mysterious object was
nothing but a cartridge
The Italians understood no English,
and presently there was flash and a
report, and the two boys were dancing
about the pavement, Angelo wringing
bis hands, while Michael had both hands
to his head. The organ, badly dam
aged, lay on the sidewalk, and the
monkey sat at the top of lamp post.
An examination of the boys after
theyweretaken to the hospital showed
that one of them had lost the thumb
and forefnger of his right hand, while
the other had received a scalp wound.

prosperous season. That every one who
takes this means of spending Sunday away
from home will have q delightful outing
goes without saying. Fortress Monroe, Vir-

determination to go again as soon as the
opportunity presents itself. Steamer New

evening at o'clock, arriving at Norfolk

hot day in town and wish for cool breezes
and comfort, as If there was not q place
at hand where both these can be had. That
Is just what the trips to Indian Head on

the majestic Potomac of more than four
hours cannot help but brace one up, and
the beauty Of the scene and the music
makes up the pleasurable part of the sail.
Both going and returning stops are made
at Marshall Hall. The privilege of the
grounds Is accorded those who care to take
advantage of it. Time is allowed for few
dances while the steamer is making the

And took possession Of him.
His little red features were covered with dirt
And his little brown legs were scratched;
There were awful rents in his little gray shirt,
