204

TO 140.

AV'Asni.N'GTO.N*, Feb. 2.—At 6 o'clock Thursday night, at the conclusion of one of tlio grandest, most Imposing and most impressive scenes ever witnessed In tho American capitol, the Wilson tariff bill passed tho house of representatives by a vote of 204 to 140. The events leading up to it were almost unparalleled in our annals. At 12 o'clock, after a preliminary skirmish of an hour over tho barley schedule, the bill was reported to the house and the cloning speeches were mado.

Woinwn l-'ttluf tn the Crowd.

Kncli a vast concourse us assembled to hear tho last arguments upon tho frreat economic issue about to bo submitted for tinal arbitrament to the representatives of tho American people had never before been seen within the precincts of the nation's legislative capitol. Nothing like it was ever known in the history of the oldnsrlnhabitant of the capital.

For hours before the debate began tho corridors leading to the galleries wore a surging mass of humanity, which finally became so great that men cried out in terror and women fainted in fright. It was estimated that over 20,000 persons attempted to gain admittance to the galleries of the house. Their seating- capacity is about 8,000, and every uvailable seat was occupied long before the gavel dropped. The people were lined against the walls and banked against the doors BO great did the crush become that the members of the house secured permission to bring their wives upon the floor.

A Ilrllllant Audience.

Whon Mr. Reed, the first speaker, arose at last to deliver the tinal plea for protection the overhanging galleries were blaok and dense with the specta.tors who thronged them. Every iucli of space upon the floor was taken. It was a brilliant as well as a large assembly. Only ten of the 8i4 members of tho house were absent. MHtiy gra,re and reverend senators and other distinguished personages were on the floor, and iu the galleries were Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Vice President Stevenson and other ladios of eminence and distinction, their dresses flecking the scene with color.

Till' Three."

Then for three hours the oratory of tho champions of I he economic, systems followed—Reed, Crisp aud Wilson— while their partisans made the air vocal with their shouts of approval. The appearance of the speaker of the house upon the Iloor engage ill debate was. in itself, a remarkable as wull as an unusual thing. Each of the speakers seemed be in his best form and the speeches which they delivered Thursday will rank among the most brilliant of their lives. When these were finished Mr. Wilson, who spoke last, was lifted on the shoulders of his admiring colleagues and carried triumphantly from the hall ami-.l a.scone of unmatched enthusiasm.

The Vollna

The time had now arrived to vote on the bill and pending amendments, but the disorder was so threat that the ser-geant-nt-arms was called upon to clear the aisles, and the wives of members who had been allowed upon the floor were obliged to retire. It took twenty miuntes to restore order, so that the public business could proceed. The speaker then announced that there were two pending amendments— that the committee on ways and means to increase the dutjf on barley from 20 to 23 per cent, ad valorem, and on barley malt from 25 to 85 per cent., and the amendment of Mr. Tawnoy (rep., Minn.) to increase the duty to 22 cents a bushel on barley and 82 cents on barley malt The lirst vote was taken on tho Tawney amendment, which was lost upon a yea aud nay vote of 120 to 19T. Tho committee amendment was then agreed to—202 to 1 4.

Free Wool and Sugar.

The speaker then announced that the vote was upon the amendments adopted by the committee of the whole. Mr. Johnson (O.) demanded a separate vote on the wool and woolen amendment*. Mr. English (dein., N. J.) upon the incomo tax and upon the petroleum amendment The other amendment*, including that amendment abolishing the bounty on sugar and that plaoing refined sugar on the free list were then agreed to ln bulk without division. The first amendment which Mr. Johnson desired a separate vote upon was that placing wool upon the free list immediately upon the passage of the bill. This amendment having been vitiated by a later amendment placing the date at August 2, a point of order was raised that the latter amendment must flrst be voted upon, but after some discussion the chair decided that the Johnson amendment must first be voted upon to perfect the text and that the real test would come upon tho amendment to strike out. the words "immediately after the passage of the bill" and Insert "on and after August 0." The Johnson amendment was therefore agreed to without division. The other amendment was agreed to—205 to 147. Mr. Johnson tried to get the yeas and nays, but could only muster five votes to his aid. The amendment fixing the date as December 2 when the manufactured woolen schedule should go into effect was also adopted—200 to 180.

Mr. Johnson again being unable to secure the yeas and nays, the vote was then taken upon the amendment providing for reciprocity in petroleum, and It was carried—177 to 47.

Vote on the Jnrome Till.

The last amendment to be voted upon was that providing for the income tax.

THE CRAWFORDSVILLE JOURNAL.

Mr. Cox demandod tho yeas and nays upon this amendment It was significant that the republicans refusod to second the demand for the yeas anil nays, but enough democrats arose (fifty-one) to order the roll-call. It was then found that tho income tax could not be voted upon as a separate proposition, the speaker deciding in accordance with a precedent, which he cited, that the internal revenue amendment having been reported as a single amendment could not be divided. The vote, therefore, was upon tho entire rejection of the internal i-eventle amendment.

The republicans, with few exceptions, refused to rote, but the amendment, including the income tax, was adopted—182 to

50.

The populists voted iu the affirmative. as did the following republicans: Bowors (Oil.), Fleiober (Mo.), Hanmann (Mont), Marsh (111.). Pickler (3. Dl, White tO.) and Svoet (Idaho).

Thoso who voted against the amendment were: Babpock irop.. Wis.). Bank-it, Boltzhoover, Bravley, BroMuo (rop.. P»J, Oadinus. Campbell, Causey, Clunoey, Cookran, Uampton. Coombs, Cornish.

Page, Power* (rep VU, Prloo, Haynor, Rillley, Rusk, Ryan, Schermerhorn, Boranton irrp Pa.), Sickles. Sporry, Sevens, Tulbolt (Md.), Warner anil Wolverton. raised by a Majority or 04.

Then came the final vote on the bill itself, on which a yea and nay vote was asked and granted by arising vote. The roll-call was watched with marked attention, and frequent bursts of applause greeted accessions to one side or the other. Beltzhoover (dem., Pa) was tho first to win applause by his yen vote, indicating that the PennsyivanianB were falling into line. Immediately after this, lilanchard (dem., La 1 was applauded as he voted yea and showed that the Louisianian opposition to the bill was not intact Mr. Cockran's vote in favor of the bill brought, out tumultuous cheering. The climax of the demonstration was reached when the name of Mr. Wilson, author of the bill, was reached, the democrats oheering vociferously as a final recognition of his leadership. The speaker asked that his name be called and he answered in the affirmative. Then the speaker announced: "On this question the yeas are

£04

and the nays are

and the bill is passed." Summary of tue Vote. The vote summarized is a*

follows:

When the speaker announced the vote uheor followed cheer upon the demoeraUo side, papers, hats, congressional records and, iu fact, everything which the democrats could lay their hands upon, were flung high in the air, and amid a nerfect pandemonium of joy the house udjournod.

TUHEK BHILLIANT AKUKtSSKS. \Va8H1voto.v, Feb. a.—Aside from

the (freat attendance and the finaL vote on and passage of the tariff bill, the features of the sea&lon of the house on Thursday were the speech**, closingtho debate, of Mr. Rcod (rep., Me. I. Speaker Crisp,and Mr. Wilson (dem., W. Va.), the author of the measure. Promptly at noon the committee of the whole rose and the chrfirmau (Mr. lUcbardson), according to parliamentary formula, reported that the committee of the whole had had under consideration house bill 4,604 (tariff bill) and reported it to the hou»e with sundry amendments. The speaker then announced that three hours would be allowed for closiug debate. He recognized Mr. Reed, aud the republican leader rose amid the wild cheering and hand-ciapping of the gaileries aud the huzzas of his party friends about him. Mr. Reed frowned aud shook his head as though the dtMiioustmtlon were distasteful to him. lie waited for the appluuse to cease. Standing in the aisle, clad in a long Prince Albert coat, with head erect and defiant, he looked a physical and intellectual giant.

Says the Bill Satisfies Mo One.

When the applause had finally subsided Mr. Reed began his speech. Ue said "Id this debate, which Uati exioudeil over many weeks, one remarkable result has already been reached, a result of the deepest Importance to this country. The result is that the bill before us Is odious to both sides of the house. It meets with favor nowhere ahd oom* mauds the ruspeot of neither party. On this side we believe that while It protends to be for proteotlon It does not afford it, and on the other side thoy believe that while it looks toward free trade It does uot accomplish iu Thoso who will vote ag^nst this bill will do so because It opens our markets to the destructive competition of foreigners, and those who vote for it do It with a reservation that they will Instantly devote themselves to a new crusade agalnnt whatever barriers are left. "It is cvldeut that there is no ground for the hope entertained by so many moderate men that this bill, ba4 as it is, could be a rcsilug place where our manutauturlnf and productive industries, such as may survive, can reestablish themselves or hsve a sure foundation for the future, free from party Dickering ami party strife. Henoe, also, there can bo no foundation for that cry, so Insidiously raised, that this bill should be passed at on'se, because uncertainty Is worse than nuy bill can possibly be. So .utterly un* disputed and so distinctly visible to every huinau being lu this audlenoe has been our growth and progress that whatever the future Industrial system of this country may be, the past ay atom Is a splendid monument to that series of successful statenmea who found the country bankrupt and distracted and left it first on tho list of nations.M

Advantages of th« American Market. Mr. Heed eulogized the Amerloan market as being ihe bcitt lu tho world, owinK to the high wage* paid hero enabling workJnjnnen to purchase largely of tUe comforts of llfe.^ Instead of increasing this market, he said, by leaving it to tho steady Inotoane of wugei* which tbs figures of tho AldrHih report so ooucluslvely snuvf. and which have not only reoslved the sanction of tho members from New York but uf tho rtceroUry of tlio treasury aud the democratic bureau of Rtailstlo*, by this aotlon our niiMuei proposes to lower wagss and so mitten the market aud then divide that market ntth Homebody else, and all on the chanoe ot yetting the inarkeia of the world. Mr Reed continuoU: "To add to the interesting impossibilities 0! this coiiirutlnn the orator* on the other side auy they tiro going to maintain wages. How oan that be possible? All things soil at the cost of production. If the difteronce between cosi of production here and oost of produotlon ln England be uot equalised uy the duty, then our cost of production must go dowu or we must go out. Our laws have Invited money and men and we havo grown great and rich thereby. "To KUin it up, 1f this protection gives us money aud men, and our vast country needs both, may show why wc have so wonderfully prospered.

"Here let mo meet one other question, and let me make It fairly. We are charged with having claimed that the tariff alone will raise wages. Wo have never made suoh a olalm in any such form. Freetraders have set up that cluim for us to triumphantly knook It over. YV hat we do say Is that where two nations have equal skill and equal appliances and a market nearly equal and one of them can hire labor ui one-Lair less, nothing but a tat-iff can malntaiu the higher wages, and that we can prove. "We are the only rival that England fears, for we alone have in our borders the population and the wages, the raw material, and within ourselves tbe great market whloh insures to us the most improved ma* chlnery. Our constant power to Inorease our uatfes insures us also ocntinuous progress Jf you wish us to follow the example of England. 1 say yes, with all my heart,but her real example, and nothing less. Let us keep protection, as she did, until no rival dares to invade our territory, and then we may take our chances for a future which by that time will not ho'iinknown.'*

Gets an Ovation.

Throughout Reed's speech he was frequently Interrupted with appluuao. and at times the Jniwwratrt joined In. As his speech closod thvre was a burst of applnuse which swelled Into tumultuous demonstration a*thecnthuMUbtlc {,'Hllerles gave shouts, hurrahs and sharp whistles which are often heard in theaters but icMom ai the halls of coughs*

Mr. Reed bowed his ucUiiuwiedt/mout to the netnonsirution. and. without resuming his seat in waiting for tbs many hands extended to con. trratula^e him, maie his way back to the ropublican cloakroom. Half wav up the aisle he vas rn^i by a page bearing a huge basket of American Beauty and La France roses

As Mr Crisp proceeded he was jriven K"n"rous applause by his democratic uK^orr.Rtch on the floor, but his points wero of an arirmuenta live character, whloh appealed to the Moderns or the question rather than to ttv galleries. I He read from tbe mlnoritv ronort unrt or*ti-' cised that feature which .su.'.»lare«l that th* for- I signer paid the tax. I

Not a Henoflt to l.nlmr. 1

After his opening Introductory rcm.uk- Mr Crisp declared that an eiainiuation of Uu» pro 1 teotive system would show that while was built up for the ostensible beneUt of labor it was ln truth conHtructed for tht henHlt of the manufacturing c'-»ss«'s H« pointed out that the wat?-s of labnr«rn

prot°c*ed industries went do^n and those iu unprotected

Industrie* wont

as a result of the McKinley act. This was shown by mo statistics gathered by ilie senate committee on finance. The speaker referred to the artificial condition created by protection. It took men, be said, from their natural channels and diverted them to unnatural channels The same was true ln the diversion* made lu the ohanncls of trade. Protection was a Chinese wall which not only shut out the world but shut in the United States

Reed's Argument One of Prejudice. Mr. Crisp was greeted with applause when he said that the thirty years of protection was a period of unrest during which the masses of people bad constantly rebelled uguinst the heavy burdens of taxation. The people had always been st.lled at the pol^s by the republloao promises to reduce tho tariff, but once successful at the polls, the republicanlegislators surrendered themselves body and soul to tho mauuf»cturln? classes. The speaker deolared that the yentUtnuti (Mr Heed) had throughout his speech rerrafned Iruui the ar guments of reason und h.ul usrd only ihos© of prejudice.

He pointed to tne Chinese as an example of what had resulted from a protective polioy of huudreds of years, which had sought to make China rich by trading with itself Mr CrJap said that for tweuty-flve yours the democratic party had been trying to got into power. It had told tho people that if given power It would reduce the burdens of taxation. The people had aovepted this promise and given the party power. This tariff was a redemption of these pledges to the people. It was not a porfeot bill, but It was a step tn the right dlreotlon.

Cheers for the Income T%x. In referring to various features of the bill he spoke of an inoome tax. which brought out long and loud applausr, from the strong incometax element ln the house. He cited a speceh of Senator Sherman delivered twenty years ago to the effect tin*t a tax which fell heaviest on consumption and did no' bear heavily on wealth and Incomes of the country was intrinsically wrong Mr. Crisp supported the inoome tax tn vigorous terms. Ue said ISO.OOu.G.u of lax on aooumulated wealth was but a sinull tribute lu return for the benefits it received.

Mr. Crisp elosed with an eloquout appeal to his demooratic associates to waive minor objections and to look at the great democratic principles involved. T*et us stand together,*' he Said. "Let us pass this bill and it will bring gladness to the consuming masses, the farmer, to the laborer and to the A merlcan people."

There was a triple round of applause us the speaker closed. A page walked toward him with a large potted plant with red flowers above, surrouuded with white roses below. The applause ooutlnued for more than a minute, during whloh Mr. Crisp was warmly congratu lated. He left the body of tho house and returned to the speaker's desk

Mr. Wtlaon Close* the Debate. Mr. Wilson at once arose to olose the debate. He was greeted with great oheers. Mr Wilson eloquently portrayed the advance of freedom This bill, he ssld, was but one of those advanoes. No McKinley bill oould stem the advanoe of human progress. Great causes could not be laughed or rldiooled away, and the gentleman from Maine could not draw from bis armory of sarcasm and wit In order to stop tho advance of this cause of llghtenlug the burdens of taxation.

Mr. Wilson theu related the story of th English herrUkg merchant who wrote to Bit Robert Peel that be did not want free trade aa to herring, as it would let ln Norwegian herring, but that on other goods he was a thorough free trader. Mr. Wilson appealed to his fellow demoorat* not to allow any herring arguments to impede tbe movement toward the overthrow oT tbe protective system

Denies Charges of Sectlouaiisin. Referring to an income tax Mr. Wilson said be had not wanted It attached to this bill, but onoeso attached, he supported it with all the loyalty at his command. There was continued applause as Mr- Wilson denied the charges 01 sectionalism in the bill. He said that tbe animating feeling of those who had framed this bill was to make this country one in which one man would uot be taxed for another, one in whloh religion, soienoe, oulture and education would go hand in hand as the common, untaxed heritage of every cltiten.

Mr. Wilson closed with an eloquent appeal to his fellow-democrat*. He told tbcui that the reoord of the house would permanently record no passing event, but a great epoch In Amerloan history. He wanted every democrats name reoorded on that hlstorlo roll, ln that oaso, he said, the «0ay would be a proud and happy one for him. His olosing words were: "In the uame of honor, in the name ot freedom. I wuuimen every democrat to \ote for this bill.

Wilson Carried Out lu Triumph. Mr. Wilson's glowing peroration aroused the demoorats and the galleries to the highest pitch of enthuslam, and the demonstratiou which followed his last words has seldom been equaled In the house The whole democratic side rose to Its feet books and records were thrown into the air cheer followed cheer the people in tbe galleries joined with voice and hpnds in tbe tribute. Before Mr. Wilson could sit down three of the democratic members, bubbling over with enthusiasm—Messrs Johnson (O), Tucker (Va) and Bryan (Neb.)—rushed up the aisle, lifted Mr. Wilson upon their shoulders and carded him ln triumph to the rear of the hall, where for ten minutes he listened to tbe words of praise that were showered upon bio. It was a remarkable demonstration in every respect.
