organization Sought to rescue the party
from those who were wrecking It. When
the party was making new recruits the
wreckers had deserted 1t.
Who's he repudiated 'tthe Cleveland her
esy and announced the doctrine that "'all
taxes should be laid for revenue" the DEM
ocrats In sympathy with him cheered lusti-
~. Mr.: Bailey spoke for about two hours
ana nalf. His peroration was enthusiast
tically greeted and he was warmly con-
graduated.
Mr.. McMil1in Of Tennessee, who had
twenty minutes Of his hour remaining,
consumed that time in denouncing the SUI
gar schedule. which. lie said, had added
*l2OOO,OOO to the price OF sugar certificates

Mr.. Bailey Explains.
Moreover, Mr.. McMillin in turn delved
into Mr.. Railey's past and pointed out oc-
casfons when the lone star statesman had
voted for free coal, free iron ore. free
oarbed wire. free sugar and even free wool
IN the Fffty-second Congress. Mr.. McMil-
Inns comment on the Inconsistency of MIR.

Mlilln finished long enough to say that

the democracy to oppose that doctrine and
he should do so.
1t was after IL o'clock Mr.. Payne and
Mr.. Dingley successfully took the floor
for some closing marks. The former
devoted his time to defense of the sugar
schedule. He figured out a differential in
favor of the refner in the present law
at the prices prevailing in 1894 of 521a cents
per 100 pounds. Taking Mr.. Swanson's IL
lustration Of the so degree sugars, Mr..
Payne figured on the basis of the amount
of raw sugar UNI efned Q14h pounds) that
the refiner under the present law had a
differential of .314 per 100 pounds against
.lI3 OF differential In the proposed schedule.
Mr. Dingley openly avowed that the
schedule gave a slight additional protec-
ton to refined sugar, but at the same time
1t raised raw all along the line. Trusts,
he said. could not be eradicated by cpl
thets The way to break down the trusts, -
he cried, ''is to establish beet sugar fac
tory in every congressional district in the
country ard make competition. That is
the way to clip the wings of the trust"
