house?" he asked, looking about him But
MIR. Robertson was not present and Mr..
Bailey proceeded to argue that the Chicago
platform did return to 1.-The old democratic
theory" He said the present democratic
organization sought TO rescue the party from
those who were wreckng 1t. When the
party was making new recruits the wreckers
had deserted It. When he repudiated the
Cleveland heresy' and announced the doc
trne that "all taxes should be laid for

M'MILLIN REPLIES.
Mr. McMillin. who had twenty minutes Of
his hour remaining consumed this time in
denouncng the sugar schedule, which he
said had added 81, 900, 900 to the price of sugar
certificates today, and replying to Mr. Bal
leys remarks about his record. Any state
ment from any quarter that he had ever ad-
cared was unjust to him and incorrect. He
had been consistent. Moreover, Mr.. McMil-
lin in return delved into Mr.. Baileys past
and pointed out occasions when the Lone star
statesman had voted for free COAL free barbed
wire, free sugar and even free wool in the
Fifty-second congress. Mr.. Baileys free
wool vote caused much merriment. In con-
clusion he appealed to the democracy to go
into the battle again with its banners bear
ing the old notices
Mr.. Bailey got the floor after Mr. McMillin
finished long enough to say that when he cast
the votes referred to by Mr.. McMillin the
endorsed doctrine of his party was for free
raw material and as loyal democrat he
supported it's platform declarations He now
held commission from the democracy to
oppose that doctrine and he should do so.
Mr.. Payne and MIR. Diugley successfully
took the floor for some closing remarks. The
former devoted his time to a defense of
the sugar schedule He figured out differ
| ential in favor of the refner in the pres
ent law, at the prices prevailing in 1894 OF
521e cent: per 100 pounds
Taking Mr.. Swanson's illustration OF the
92 degree sugars. Mr.. Payne figured on the
| basis of the amount of raw sugar refined
| Q141a pounds) that the refiner under the
present law had a differential of .314 per
hundred pounds against .173 of differential
| in the proposed schedule
Mr. Dngley openly avowed that the
| schedule gave a slight reduction to refined
! but at the same time it raised raw all along
the line Trusts, he said, could not be
eradicated by threats. THE way to breal
| down the trusts" he said, 'is to establish
beet sugar industry in every congressional
| district. That is the way to clip the wingr
| of the trust"
Amid a storm of cheering Mr.. Dingle,
| then demanded the previous question on the
adoption of the conference report. Vanl,
Mr.. Johnson, republican of Indiana, tried t.
| ask Mr.. Dingley a question While the quos
tion was being put. Several times he called
''Mr. Speaker!' but was not recognized TIL,
