Party Dissensions.

0ity DlSSeuSlUnSs
Referring to dissensions in the
Democratic party, following the issu-
ance of bonds, by President Cleveland,
Mr.. Bailey declared that the Republi-
can party is now even more rent by
internal discord than was the Demo-
cratic party at that time.
When you call the roll here" said
Mr.. Bailey, you find two or three
Democrats agreeing with you. They
are doing their duty as they under
stand it. But while you find two or
three Democrats in agreement with
you, we find 13 or II of your mem.
bership agreeing with us.
You should be admonished by this
and see that your lease of power is
not so strong as you think it is.
You are sleeping on a volcano and
In the next election there will come
an eruption
Mr.. Bailey asked Mr.. Aldrich
whether he would agree to time for
vote on the income tax.
MIR. Aldrich in reply asked Mr..
Bailey whether he would extend the
agreement to include a time for vot-
ing upon the bill and its amendments.
MIR. Bailey proposed vote on the
income tax amendment next Saturday
and vote upon the tariff bill on
June l., saying he would ask unani-
nous consent to that agreement.
That is satisfactory to me-" said
MIR. Aldrich.
Mr.. Beveridge objected, saying the
bill would be voted upon when SEN
ators had concluded discussing it.
Mr.. Bailey, modifying his sugges-
tion. said that if Mr.. Aldrich would
agree to vote on the income tax amed-
ment next Saturday he would use his
good offices to bring a vote on the
bill as early as June /.
Il am not willing at this time to
consent to that proposition" said Mr..
Aldrich. but l may be willing to do
SO tomorrow morning."
Mr.. Bailey, resuming his criticism,
declared that in the present financial
condition OF the country, it was neces-
sary either to maintain high rates of
the Dingley bill or sell bonds.
You dare not sell bonds to pay ex-
penses of the government" he shout
ed. He added that the Republican
administration had bankrupt treas
ury, and they would have either to
| sell bonds or to allow their obliga-
tons to go by default. He said the
trainers of both the house and senate
tariff bills understood that. He sug-
gested that his amendment providing
$50,000,0O0 of revenue would take the
burden of taxation from the con-
sumers and place it upon incomes
that are abundant.
Mr.. Dolliver claimed free iron ore
would aid independent steel manu-
facturers in competition with the
United States Steel corporation. Mr..
Smith (Michigam. said that the steel
corporation was understood to con-
/, troll most Of the iron ore deposits in
Canada.
! Mr.. Beveridge said he was tired of
! hearing. every time reduction of a
tariff rate was proposed, that it would
benefit some trust.
