Khe Bartering Of American Girls
for Them Denounced in
Congress.
4 SPEECH BY Mr.. M'GAMA.
The Gentlemen from Illinois Amused
tho Members by Holding up to \
Ridicule the "soiled and
Prayed Nobility"

Washington, Jan. 29.-Internat!onal
marriages Of American heiresses to
titled foreigners were denounced on
the floor OF the house Of representa-.
tives Tuesday by Mr.. McGavin Of ILL
nois, who spoke on the bill Of his col
league, Mr.. SABBATH, to tax all doweries
and titled husbands.
Mr.. McGavin's remarks were made
under the license OF general debate.
At times they provoked laughter and
applause on both sides Of tine chamber.
The house, he said, was in commit
tee OF the whole on the state of the
a union but he wanted to know what the
state Of the union was and what 1t
was coming to. In view of these in
Z ternational unions between American
heiresses and alleged nobilities from
abroad"
He wondered what the early
pioneers would think and say II from
their graves they could look back and
see SO many of the women Of this
country Sacrificing their souls aad
honor upon the altar Of snobbery and
vice. He expressly stated that he
had reference to no particular Aneri-
can give nor had he prejudice
against all titled men, but he referred
only to those who have monocle
on their eyes and an idiotic look
upon their faces-those who have
neither the disposition to do good nor
the ability to do harm"
Mr.. McGavin said his curiosity had |
been aroused to know the right com
mittee to which the bill should have
gone, but he had found that 1t proper
~ had gone to the committee on ways
and means because It sought to levy
"a tax. And then he said he was curl
Gus to know whether the present tariff
schedule included dukes, earls, lords,
and counts "and finding that these
things were nowhere mentioned,
thought It might be proper for the
customs oficials to classify them like
frog legs, as poultry for 1t is gen

IN the very shore % e river ssSll
and with the state of Ohio directly
opposite, Mr.. Bryan pointed out the
differences IN the two platforms and
made plea for Democratic support.
He made frequent references to
Dir. Taft and told his audiences that
the Republican candidate was con-
Quoting his campaign on a platform
70 obnoxious to him that he was fore
ed to continually patch it up with
amendments of his own. Much stress
was laid Oh the labor and anti-in-
junction planks of the Democratic
platform, his remarks on this sub
jsct being applauded by many unem-,
ployed workmen from the Ohio steel
plants In this vicinity.
The visit to Wheeling was the
climax of an eventful day in Ohio,
the native state OF Mr.. Taft. From
the time the Democratic candidate
left Columbus until he crossed the
Ohio river into West Virginia, the
crowds which gathered along the
line CT travel, made insistent de-
mands for his appearance and to
talk to ug little"

defeat" he said, "and those de-
feats would have been sufficient to
have eliminated me from politics, II
my claim to public attention was bas-
ed upon personal merit. But, my

tors by direct vote of the people.
