the curb.
Copper stocks were heavy. notwithstand-

There need be no concern about

they succeed. they. will rejoice because

MIR. Cummins discussed protection as

party for tariff revision. and the eff
forts of the insurgents to carry out
this pledge. He spoke of the indiffer-

He did not want it To be understood

Derision Not Debate.

Il am astoundcd to hear so modest
man as the speaker of the house
claim that the leaders who construct
ed the tariff bill and the majority
which passed it, constitute the repub-
lican party. To say that because a
majority. of the republican members of
congress were in favor of attaching
certain duties to certain commodities,
and other members in minority were
in favor of attaching other duties TO
the same commo1sties. that therefore
the minority hadNrcbeled against the
party. Is nonsense of so sublime de-
gree that it provokes not debate but
dcrision.
Il understand perfectly that II would
have been helpfia to party harmony
if we could have. voted together: but
that is not the question. The platform
was for protection. All the repub-
leans in congress We're for protection:
but the view of these high priests ap-
pears to be that u. they thought that
upon any given article protection re-
quired so per cent, and we thought the
article would be amply protected with
% per cent. unless we voted for 80.
we were no longer republicans The
whole proposition is SO absurd that
even the most rabid member of the tri-
umvirate will not repeat 1t often.

1T viii not avail Mr. Cannon and
