GATE Discussed.

In discussing the tariff bill IN tie
; Uoited States Sanate On Wednesday
Mr. Hosr pointed cut that there was
not g msjority in the Senate favorable
/ to thar doctrine OF protection SUPPORT
ed by the Republican psrty. Il De
came necessary thre!ore, to secure the
cooperation OF those who had support
cd man for the Presidency who, il
! elected. was pledged to VITO tariff
bill. Mr.. Hoar said Mr. Bryap's
record in the House of Representatives
; would throw scme light on the sub
! i~ct. He was supported by nearly
ali the free traders IL the country. add
| ed Mr.. Hoar, >'and il the party did
not pledge hin, he pledged the parry.
Mr.. Alien said the statement OF Mr.
Hoar as 70 the silver candidate for toe
Presidency snopid not go Ulchaiteg
ed. There was nothing n what Mr.
Bryan hsd ssid jis:ifylog so assertion
that he would have vetoed . Tariff Dill.
If il had been q bill CT conhscauon,
doubtless he would have vetoed it.
Mr. Hoar brought forward cocies OF
the Record, showing Mr.. Bcyan s
course on the tariff. He hsd voted IL
the House to put wool on the free list;
ne had carried out in triumph Mr..
Wilson, who had denounced protec.
ton as ROBBERY; he had himself de.
noul ed protection as robbery. 4
have good deal Of respect for Mr..
Bryan" +" continued Mr.. Hoar. HIS
character has impressed me very ia
vorably, and l have never j)ined IN
criticism upon him; bat II he would
not veto tariff bill for such utter
ances, would not have much rescecs
for nim
Mr.. Stewart of Nevada thought
thsse criticisms of DIR. Bryan were
most unfair. For, said the Senator,
IAN examination of Mr.. Mck'n!ey>s
record would show him to have voted
for the free and Ualinited coinage OF
silver" Mr.. Stewart stated that dur
ing the consideration Of the Bland
Allison Act Mr.. Mckinley had voted
at every stare with the most radical
silver men Even as late as 1890 Mr..
Mckinley had made speech at Toe
do, denouocing Mr. Cleveland for dis
eliminating between the two metals
Mr.. Stewart caused a laugh, as he
| closed, By saying very earnestly that
| it was mo use to criticise Bryan, as
he's going to be the next President. :"
Mr.. Teller reported to the statements
concerning Mr.. Bryan. Tae latter,S
vote for free wool would not justify
the assertion OF the Massachusetts
Senator that Began would veto tariff
b.;i, as no might approve Il as reve
nue. measure.
Mr.. Hoar inte-jected the remark
that ne had intended to stir up Sena-
tors, but had merely pointed out that
at present the friends Of the tariff bill
were compelled TO secure the co-opera-
! ton OF Senators who voted for free
trade candidate and would probably
VI g fcr that candidate again.
Mr.. Tel -. continuing, declared
chat the M&ssachusetts Senator had
dragged in poiilc. question for the
evident purpose O. challenging tha
position of certain Senator's As for
himself, he wanted This bill passed,
He did no; be!iey e II YOU'D bring the
relief expected. He was lere TO sse
that decent bill was erac,ed. He
was not here to DELAY, fori; there vas
any reliefi: should come quickly. Ba:
! If tee Massachu 2etts Senator desired
to bring in political Questions. Mr..
Teller gave notice that laers would be
full reply.
