general opinion.
Mr.. Carter of Montana said it was g
fact beyond dispute that during thS>las
year the wool growers of Montana were
receiving cents per pound. while I'M
der the Mckinley law they were receiv-
ing II cents
And the difference between cents
! and IA cents is the difference between
destruction and prosperity" declared
Mr.. Carter.
When Mr.. Mills quoted certain low
rates on Montana woods under the Nc
! Kinley law. Mr. Garter responded that
! these We're quoted at a time when the
! passage of the Wilson bin was antici-
pated, serving to send down prices.
TIME FOR A REVOLT.
Mr.. Gray Dem., Del.) declared that
! it was time for a revolt against the
demands Of the Woolgrowers' associa-
ton.
If those who oppose these high
duties on wool are TO be decided en-
emies. said he, they must take their
position as enemies, and they viii not
be lacking in resources to make their
opposition felt
This extra session of congress was
called for the primary purpose of franz
ing law giving adequate revenue, and
IL
revenue measure could not pass until
a toll was levied on the great mass of
poor people of the country. the wearers
of clothing and the users of blankets,
in order TO increase the profits of the
wool growers.
MIR. Quay moved to disagree to the
committee amendments to paragraph
357.
The effect of Mr. Quay's motion
4
of 80 per cert ad valorem.
Mr.. Hoar pointed out that there was
not a majority in the senate favora BILE
10 that doctrine Of protection supported
by the Republican party. It became
necessary. therefore. TO secure the CO.
operation of those who had supported
a man for the presidency who, if
elected, was pledged to veto tariff
blk
Mr. Mantle replied that he had never
known that the silver candidate for the
presidency was pledged to veto a tariff
bill
Mr.. Hoar said Mr. Bryan's record in
the house of representatives would
throw some light on the subject He
was supported by nearly all the free
traders in the country" added Mr.
Hear. and if the party did not pledge
him, he pledged the party"
Hoar as to the silver candidate for the
presidency should not go unchallenged.
There was nothing in what Mr.. Bryan
had said justifying an assertion that
he would veto a tariff bill. If it had
been bill of confscation, doubtless he
would have vetoed it,
Mr. Hoar brought forward copies of
the record, showing MIR Bryan's course
on the tariff. He had voted in the
house tO r,r1f wool on 10 Fyaa lief he
had carried out in triumph MIR. Wilson,
who had denounced protection as rob-
berry and he had himself denounced
protection as a robbery.
I have good deal of respect for
Mr.. Bryan continued Mr.. Hoar. His
character has impressed me very IA
Vorably. and I have never Joined in
criticisms on him, but if he would not
have vetoed a tariff bill. after such ut
terances. | would not have much re-
spect for him."
STEWART WANTS FAIRNESS.
Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, thought |
those criticisms Of Mr.. BRYAN were
most unfair. for. said the senator. an |
examination of Mr. McKinley's record /
would show him 10 have voted for free |
and unlimited coinage of silver.
Mr.. Stewart stated that during the I
of the Bland-Allison act, /
Mr.. Mckinley had voted at every stage +
with the most radical silver men,"
Even as late as 1890 Mr.. Mckinley had
made a speech at Toledo denouncing
Mr.. Cleveland for discriminating be-
tween the metals.
Mr.. Stewart caused a laugh as he
closed by saying. earnestly. that lit
VAS no use criticising Mr.. Bryan. as he
was going to be the next president"
The vote was then taken on Mr.
Quay's motion 10 table the committee
