 NIT. Sherman explained that this was a matter outside the Jurisdiction of the IL dian Committee MT. sherman con cluded his explanation with the pre- diction that the time would come when the great body of the Indian people of tEis continent would be self supporting along the lines of industry to which they are best adapted
 Comparing in the increase of the pro ducts of the farm and factory and the value of productive and industrial pro- l perty under high and low tariffs, Mir. Fucker (Mo) drew the conclusion that the lower the tariff the greater had been the increase of wealth. Since | 1850 the tariff had nneen made higher and higher and the increase of produce ton had been less and less. 1 Farming his attention to the tariff on the Mergethaler Type-setting ma chine, Mir. Fucker said it had been dem anstrated that the machines could be l produced for $500 and yet they were sold for $3,000 because of the tarin- There were twenty thousand publica- tions in this country affected by this price. Thousands Of petitions from edi- | tors had been sent to the present con i gress urging the removal of this pro- hibitory and monopolistic duty. | "WfIi not the gentleman heed the pe- l titions" he asked.
 Then every Republican editor in the l United States who has the backbone of an anglofsm ought to unite and make the condition of Republican members Il such that they will cry out Wherever I dy is hell; wherever light Is he'll
 MT. Fucker concluded what predic- l tion, that war tariff revision platform l and William ] Bryan as It's candidate | the Democratic party would, as a sy- clone, sweep the victory.
 Mir. Lacey, took the floor also to dis cuss the tariff
 | Mir. Lacey's conclusions on the tariff provoked a lively debate involving ] Messrs. Clark (Mo.l, Weisse CWfs. Powers CAfe. ), Gardner (Mass.). Will 1 iiams (Miss ), and Grosvenor (ohio.) | The net result was that Wr Weisse i who is a tanner, and therefore, ac' 1 cording to MT. Laeey's quotation oi Shakespeare, will last nine years wher 1 he is dead" declared that the Ameri' can farmer was losing s1.000.0O0 veal because of the tartffs on hides and alsc l Ian alnnVlnR tf Canada because of that duty. He also in answer to Mir. Gardner, declared thai I the alleged "tannsr's trust" controlled | only 20 per cent, of that trade ant | Mir. Armour and hls son-in-law. MT Valentine, did not own a feontEolliHs interestsin 1t.
 Mir. Powers entered a vigorous pro l test asaifigt having tho name *Massai eIfhsettso made to include all New Eng land Maine. he said, was more thar half of New England and was opposed to free hides and against reciprocit' with Canada.
 MT. Clark questioned Mir. Lacey close ly as to the politics of Governor Cum mins of Iowa and his utterances as t' the robbery under the Dingley bill. ;"
 Mir. Lacey said he had voted twice for Cummius for Governor and would do so again If he is nominated on oui ticket"
 Mir. Williams (Miss) then took thu floor for general reply to MT. Lacey
 There arc few things" began MT. | Williams, "at one and the same ttm' more amusing and more pitiable thai the acrobatic exploits of human intelli genee when attempting to prove tha II laws which circumscribe and limi trade tend to increase trade"
 MT. Williams described some of hi tariff revision bills and asserted to NIT ta- -n-- Eva- IlsaF Ia controversy, that 1t was very simpl thing to get tarIff Legislation. All tha was necessary was first to convert tn speaker, then the Committee on Rules then the Honorable Serene F. Payn and finally Republican members of tn Ways and Means Committee. Thi ought not to be bard for q Republican to do, said MT. Williams to MT. Gard ner.
 Taking MT. Lacey in hand Mir. vii Hams said a Bourbon never learne' and never forgot anything. Since tn Fifty-second Congress MT. Lacey hal been making the same arguments re gardless of conditions ani had prove' himself fit to be admitted into the roya family of Bourbons.
 One of his bills, Mir. Williams said provided for a reduction to 100 pc cent of all duties over that amount He said he had seen the speaker quote as saying This must be one of Johi Sharp Williams's jokes as there are n such 1uties.
 In answer to this, he read this lis of articles on which the duty is great CT than 100 per cent.
 Chalk (tailor's). los per cent. o which $34.000 worth was imported las year on which the tacIff was $36,000 boracic acid, 112 per cent; sulphuri ether 230 per cent; cotton duck owe eight square yards to the pound Il
 per cent; cordage from 10s to 300 pc centi tirecrackers. l26 per cent: chea
 spectacles, 116 per cent; common win dow glass. from t27 to 2j5 per cent. looking glasses, 130 per cent. etc,
 He expressed the opinion that 25 pc cent on any article would cover tn
 actual difference of labor on an ar
 ticle.
 The speech of Mr. Williams conclude, the debats for the day.
