by Mr.. Depew, OF New York, who, in the
course of his remarks, matched his WI,
with that of Mr.. Bailey, on the sbject OF

Senators were greeted with shouts OF
laughter.

NOT TO RAISE REVENUE.
Consideration then was resumed of the
oleonarsarine bill.
Mr.. Bailey conceded the right OF Con-
gress to enact the proposed bill as Il rev
enue measure and every Senator who sup
ported the measure to raise revenue was
entirely within his conscience and his oath
Of office. but il any Senator should vote
for it TO suppress the oleomarGarine in
dustry he would do violence to his sense
of duty and to his obligations of office"
He declared that the purpose OF tile Dill
was not to raise revenue.
He maintained that the proposed bill
contained palpablc ard even wicked Vlo-
lation Of tho constitution in the placing
Of q; tax upon the article manufactured
and sold within a State.
Mr.. Bailey sharply arraigned the cream
cries and cheese factories OF the country

real hacker OF the legislation proposed.
4c could understand. he said, the Re
publican policy of protection of indus
tries. but this new policy TO leslslate Tor
the destruction Of tho industries was en-
tirely irlcomprchensible to him.
DEPEW IS FUNNY.
Mr. Depew followed Mr.. Bailey and sup
norted the bill. He said he never iao
heard n speech which had so hred ms
fancy. so appealed TO his lmaslhatloAi
and had had so little effect upon his judS-
ment Of that of Mr.. Bailey. lie SAID tIlat
If a merchant deceived his customers ny
foisting upon them q fraud, lie oellsVeo
that man ought TO be reached by law. 1t
was perfectly evident that no industry
with a. good article could complete success
| fully with a. spurious substitute with
| which the people were deceived.
| Mr. Depew. referring to an ailusion
| made by Mr.. Bailey said that the American
| Girl had been put in q wrong position De-
fore the people Of the United States.

A COLLOQUY.
Mr. Bailey and Mr.. spooner became In
yolved in a colloquy as to some legal
| phases Of the bill.

inquired Mr. Bailey, that the object of

/ raise revenue replied Mr.. Spocner. IN
i other words, say that in the exercise of
/ the discretion which the Constitution
gives we select this article as an object
Of taxation .
.-But is it (the raising of revenue) the
/ pa ranlount object?s inquired Mr.. Stew
