81 congratulate him for the part
that he has taken in this legisla-
ton. If | had been elected Presi-
dent | would have gotten a good
tariff bill thru this House sure as
you are alive. He has simply dis
charged his duty in the open.
Cone great thing that this bill
wlll do, and ] congratulate the
gentleman from Tennessee (Mr.
llull) on that most cordially, is
that it will introduce into the tax
ing system of the country the
proposition that we will tax what
a man has instead of what he has
to buy to live on. ! refer to the
income tax. | will debate that
proposition with any man living,
with the absolute certainty of
coming out on top.
81 believe as firmly as that
am living that on a sealed ballot,
so that nobody could ever find out
how you gentlemen over on the
Republican side would vote, nine
tenths of you would vote for the
incOme-taS proposition i'll this bill.
II will tell you what else be-
lieve; / believe if you had pie
biscite, as Louis Napoleon used to
call it, or secret vote, 80 per cent
of the people of the United States
would vote for the income-taX
proposition in this bill. just as
certain as you live that is coming
to stay, and the people will mag
Nifty the name of HULL in the
days to come. If you gentlemen
on the Republican side ever get
into possession of the Government
again, you will no more dare to
repeal the income tax than you
would attempt to jump off the top
of the Capitol. The people will
not have it. Some people seem to
think it has never been tried. The
English have tried it, and except
for two years they have had the
income tax ever since the
Napoleonic wars, and they have
worked it out with mathematical
nicely. | do not believe there will
ever be another high-tariff bill
enacted into law in this Republic.
"We stand today justified by
our works. The old rule, BY
their works we shall know them,
is wholesome. We are willing to
be judged by it. For 16 years we
wandered in the wilderness. We
were demoralized and dishearten-
ed. Gaining one victory after
another gives us courage, and L
believe this day is the beginning
of a quarter Of a century Of un-
broken Democratic supremacy in
this country"

INDOOR PLANTS WILL HELP TO

bulbs on sponges. Cheap sponges are
used, as numerous large holes in
sponge are an advantage. The bulbs
are inserted in these holes and held
there by supports. In most cases the
holes must be cut larger to accommo-
date the bulbs. but by little stretch
ing a small hole can be enlarged suf-
fciently to hold a good-sized bulb.
When the sponge is loaded with
bulbs either string or fine copper wire
should be wound around to anchor
the plants in position. The fine cop
per wire used in electrical work is
best. Sphagnum moss may be added
to cover any open space.
Dip the ball in water until the
sponge has absorbed all the moisture
1t can, then hang 1t in a dark place
until the bulbs have rooted In from
six weeks to two months the bulbs
will be ready to bring to the sun
light.
Watering once a day is necessary.
Many kinds of dubious plants are
suitable-hyacinths lilies of the val
ley, crocuses, snowdrops, Scillas and
the various sorts of Narcissus.
Green mos gathered from the
woods and bound around the mass
enhances the effect. A few small
ferns should also be planted in the
sponge.

FOR HALLOWEEN SUPPERS

| it is best to get them in that way oil
from a caterer. Dishes of old
fashioned apple sauce and platterS
of baked apples with cream can ac.
company them.
Pork and beans, with Boston brown
bread, served in small individual
brown pots, are a novelty and the lit.
tie pannikins can be taken home as
souvenirs. Pumpkin pies and pud.
dings in deep dishes may be obtained
at many of the exchanges where
home cooks take orders for making
them in the time way.
Brown betty is one of the old
sweets. 1t calls for a cup of bread
crumbs, two of chopped apples, halt
cup of sugar, teaspoonful of Gin
namon, two tablespoonfuls of butter
cut up. Butter deep dish and put a
layer of chopped apple on the bottom
sprinkle with sugar, butter and CHINA
mon: cover with bread crumbs. Re-
peat until the dish is full. Cover
tightly and steam for an hour, then
take the cover off and brown well III
the oven. Use sweet sauce favored
with rum or sherry.
Tipsy charlotte is made with stale
sponge cake of whateverA size is re-
quired, a pint of cream, a cup OF
pint of milk and a cup of sugar.
Heat the cream and add some jelly
powder and half cupful Of sugar;
stir until dissolved. Remove from the
fire, flavor and when quite cool beat
to a froth. Cut off the top crust of
the cake and scoop out the middle,
keeping the shell of cake thick and
firm. Pour in the wine over the shell,
fill with the whipped cream. replace
the top crust and put in a cool place.
Serve it with a custard sauce.
Old-fashioned homemade ginger
snaps are a rarity on modern tables.
They are easily made, requiring a
large cup of butter, a small cup of
sugar, a cup of molasses, one-half cup
of water, a tablespoonful each of gin
ger and cinnamon, a teaspoonful OF
cloves and one of soda dissolved in
hot water with -four enough to make
firm dough. Roll out thin. cut in
rounds and bake in a quick oven.
Jumbles call for pound of butter
and one of sugar, four eggs and
enough flour to make a soft dough; a
small glass of rose water. Cream the
butter and sugar add the beaten
yollIs of eggs, then the rose water and
then the flour. Put in the egg white
| last, stirring them in lightly with the
flour.
Line a shallow pan with buttered
paper and place the dough upon 1t In
rings. Sift white sugar over the jum-
bles when done to delicate gold
| brown.
Crullers and currant cakes are APP
propriate Halloween fare. A good
| bowl of cider cup Is made from fruit
cut up with plenty of orange and
lemon juice, a half-pint of brandy
sugar and ice. Allow these to mix
well. Last add a half gallon of colo
sweet cider. Mint leaves and berries
may float on top. Have plenty of ice
to renew it as it melts and serve very
cold in glass cups packed in chopped
