Washington, March 16.-With a
caution unusual for him, Senator Till
man read a part of a speech
in the senate, in which he
denounced executive encroachment on
legislative power. With this appar-
ent caution he proceeded to deliver
one of the most direct and denuncia-
tory addresses ever heard in that
body. Most of the senators on both
sides OF the chamber were IN their
places and the galleries were
filled His speech was based
IN his resolution instructing
the committee on finance to inquire
whether the national banks Of New
York are in the habit of furnishing
permanent capital fer speculative en-
terprises. etc. The resolution was
adopted
Referring to the president, Senator
Tillman said In the most pr0nounc-
ed language he has denounced the
combination between labor organiza
tons and the boycott, but on the eve
| of election he panders to this same
vote by demanding changes in The law
| as interpreted by the supreme court
| Organized labor is to be relieved from
the prohibition OF the supreme courts
decisions but along with it must go
the relief of capital, Once relieved.

Washington, March 17-"There
were no commercial causes for a
panic. There were speculative, legis.
lative and political reasons why a
panic might serve special interests
The bare names of the directors OF
two great bank groups (Standard Oil
and Morgan) are all the evidence that
need be offered of the absolute com
munity of interest among banks, rail.
roads and all the general industries.
With this enormous concentration
of business it is possible to create
artiacally periods of prosperity and
periods of panic. When once the gov.
eminent invites the national banks
of the country to invest in them for
the patriotic purpose of averting fin
ancia1 disaster these railroad bond;
will become sacred paper"
