reduced 1--WE per cent further that he
was induced to support IT, In other
words, said Mr.. Hepburn, had II not
been for the last nickel OF reduction the
gentleman from Ohio, TO quote mis-
own language, would have today been
with the insurgents attempting 10 de
vide the Republican party and destroy
II.
Great God" exclaimed MIR. Hepburn.
ION what a slender thread hang ever
lasting things" Great laughter and
ap.lagse.
Mr. Hepburn satirized the speech OF
Mr., Long OF Kansas. which he de-
scribed as a great physical effort,
which behtted the Kansas statesman
for a championship In the prize ring
under the Marquis of Queensbery
rules" He denounced the feature Of
the bin TO compel Cuba TO accept our
immigration laws when the greatest
need Of Cuba today was labor IL the
Yankee was what he was sometimes
said to be-cunning grasplng aFara-
cious and adroit-then he would say
this section Of the bill had been writ
ten by a Yankee.
The remaining time after Mr.. Hep
burn concluded-tW0 hours and 20 min
utes-was divided equally between Mr..
Tawney (Min.), who closed the debate
against bill, and Mr.. Dalzell, Penna),
who concluded for the measure. Mr.
Tawney at the outset defended the
course of those on the Republican side
who had not surrendered their convic-
tions that thrift might follow fawn-
ing" He pointed to lllustrious instances
in the past where Republicans had OPP
posed measures advocated by major
ity of their colleagues-notably the case
of ex-Speaker Reed in the Congress
when he voted TO Issue gold interest
bearing bonds. He declared that those
of his colleagues who believed as he did
had been denounced as traitors, tiGir
motiveshad been impugned and they hads
even been insulted because they had
dared to assert and defend what they
believed TO be TO the interest Of their
party, their constituents and their
country.
Mr.. Tawney argued chat II the beet
sugar industry were proper1 protected
In u few years II would sups.y the en-
tire domestic consume tsn V was for
this reason, he decl1red, that the sugar
trust was seeking through the agency
of this bill to cripple and destroy It's
great rival of the future
In conclusion Mr.. Tawney said this
was the first time Republican leaders
had proposed TO depart from the pro-
tectiye theory. The Republican party
was bound In honor 20 keep faith with
those whom Il had induced to enter
the beet sugar industry. II ifAe United
States owed s debit 90 Cubat II should
DO paid out OF lne public t1etsuiy by
The whole people aud not alone by the
farmers who were growing sugar beets.
Mr.. Dalze!l, In closing the debate, for
the friends Of the bill. declared Il was
not an attack upon protection II is not
a revision OF the eyisting tariff laws or
its schedules said he 1T Will not harm
single American industry or deprive
an American workman of a single days
wages. This bill contains a sim
gle proposition Nfor reciprocal trade
relations and is justified on plain busi-
ness principles. But It is more than
that. II Is step toward the redemp-
ton OF the pledge we made not to Cuba
but to ourselves when we volunteered
TO intervene to right he wrongs which
she was suffering under the Spanish
regime"
Mr. DalSell insisted that IL was our
duty now that Cuba was to be set upon
the high road OF the world 10 see that
she started under fair auspices.
While Mr. Dalzell was speaking sew
eral OF the senator's, including Messrs
Elkins CIV. Va.), Spooner (Ws), and
Fairbanks (lnd.), came into the cham
ber
Ex-senator Hiscock OF New York also
was on the floor. The galleries had also
filled TO overlooking and almost every
member was in his seat so that he had
a brilliant and attentive audience. Re-
peatedly he stirred the friends OF the
bill to applause.
Mr.. Dalzell concluded by saying the
dinerentlal In the Dingley bill was
placed there for the benefit Of beet
sugar growers. Soon after o'clock the
bill was read and considered under the
hve-minute Mr.. Morris (Mlnn.) offered
an amendment 10 remove the diferen-
tials on refined sugar Mr.. Payne made
the point OF order that IL was not ger
name ana entered into an argument on
the subject.
Mr. Littleheld. in replying TO Mr..
Payne, alluded to the talk OF the
Crumpacker resolution in the Demo-
cratic caucus last night and said II was
intimated that an offer had been made
Of 'unholy ungodly and Infamous al
lance 10 sacrifice human rights for
the benefit OF an aggregation OF cap
ital."
Mr. Underwood (Ala.), denied that he
had ever made any charge that had
been implied 20 him either In the Dem.
ocratic caucus or elsewhere.
