publican party. The galleries broke
into applause as the Senator took his
seat.
White of California followed Teller.
He read a carefully prepared speech,
dealing with the general questions in
volved in the bill. The great trusts
and corporations, he said, knew what
they were doing when they invested
their money in the Republican party
last fall. They would not only get
the principal back as the result of en-
actment of this BILL but they would
get compound interest at high rates.
White ridiculed the idea of a currency
commission which it was understood
the President would recommend as
soon as the tariff bill was out of the
way. No action would be taken
Everybody knew that he said, but he
had White was at a loss to understand
what good could come from the APP
pointment of a commission. He ques-
toned the revenue producing qualities
of the bill in speaking of the sugar
schedule. White declared that the
country had grown tired of this sugar
scandal, and he predicted that the next
| tariff bill would give no differential to
| the trust.
| When White closed at the end of an
hours speech, Mantle of Montana brief
ly expressed his regret that the Senate
conferrees had not been able to retain
in the bill cotton ties and cotton bag
ging and mating and those other
| things which the Senate adopted had
| transferred to the free list
Pettus of Alabama, who followed, an
| tagonized the action of the conferrees
on cotton ties, cotton bagging, etc.
Allen Of Nebraska reviewed what he
called the remarkable things of this
remarkable measure He referred to
the inaction of the House of Represen-
tatives in meeting only twice a week,
due, he declared, to the course of the
| Speaker of the House in managing af-
fairs as suckers were strung on a
string. Allen spoke of the large cam
paign funds realized last fall, and the
| influence it had in corrupting the vote
of Ohio Illinois and other States.
| Foraker Of Ohio, who sat across the
aisle, arose and said: 1.-THE vote of Ohio
was an honest one, and I never until
this moment heard it insinuated that
| it was not an honest vote
"Then the Senator hears it now" re-
sponded Allen
ION what does he make such an as
sertion?" asked oFraker.
THAT if the vote of Ohio in 1896 was
fair and honest one, there is one voter
for every two and half or three popu-
lation and in the city of Cleveland al
most the whole population were voters
The Senator commented on the eff
fects ofthe provisions on white pine and
articles Of household use and house
keepers of the West. The provisions
We're barefaced cowardly surrender of
the interests of the people.
At > o'clock a motion by Pettus to 60
into executive session was lost
Allen had resumed his tariff speech,
when Foraker came forward with CEN
sus figures for the purpose of disprovins
Aliens charges as to the swollen vote of
Ohio. He said Allen must have spoken
in ignorance of the facts.
Allen called to Pettus for another mo-
ton to go into executive session. This
was lost.
Morgan then proposed a final vote on
the conference report tomorrow at 3
O'Clock. He then suggested an unani-
nous recess until 10 O'Clock and a vote
at 3. The Chair asked whether there
was objection to the vote on agreement
for vote tomorrow and none was
raised.
AT $50 the Senate took a recess I'M
I'll III a. M, tomorrow.
