In the House.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—When the bouse met five minute? after the democratic caucus adjourned there were more members on the floor than at any time slnoe the tariff bill was passed. The anxious publio who thronged the oorrldors before the doors were thrown open crowded Into the galleries In anticipation of the final scone In the long tariff battle. The greatest oonfuslon existed on the floor. Members were standing about In excited groups disousslng the situation, the general understanding being that resolutions to agree to the senate amendments and probably to consider the bills for free coal, iron, sugar and barbed-wire would be brought in.

Republicans Raise an Objection.

8:15

Lessee

p. m. Mr. Catohlngs was rec

ognized and presented the report of the rules committee providing for the Immediate consideration and passage of the senate tariff bill, to be followed by the separate bills for sugar, eoal, Iron ore and barbed wire.

Mr. Reed made a parliamentary objection to the procedure, claiming tbat the tariff bill was not before the house, and indioatod the republican intention to fight the bill and report in every proper way.

Speaker Crisp held that the resolution was In order and before the house. The previous question was ordered Without division.

The Rule Adopted.

At 3i20 the motton on the adoption of the rule wag put. Mr. Beed oalled for a division after Speaker Crisp had deoided it was carried. The rule was adopted amid great shouts from the democrats by a vote of yeas, 168, nays, 6. The negative votes were oast by Messrs. Cockran and Warner (N. Y.j and Mr. Robertson (La.)—all democrats. The republicans did not vote,

The special order Betting apart limited time for the consideration and vote on the senate amendments to the tariff bill, was adopted by a vote of yeas 170, to nays 97. Among the democrats who voted against the rule were Messrs. Capo hart (W. Va.), Johnson (O.), Warner (N. Y.) and Robertson and Meyer (La.).

The house proceeded immediately to the consideration of the question of concurring in the senate amendments, pn which two hours' debate was allowed, and Mr. Wilson (dem., W. Va.) prooeedod to address the house.

Mr. Wilson's Speech.

Mr. Wilson said he did not pretend to feel gratified at the outcome of the

fast

irolonged controversy. Up to the moment he had cherished the hope and faith that a more satisfactory and better conclusion might be reached. He had hoped and believed until there seemed no further ground for hope and belief that some honorable compromise between the two houses might bo aohieved \Vhioh could have been accepted with a feeling that oongress had re' sponded to the mandates of the American people. Whatever the measure of shortcomings of this bill In ltB present form—wl its demerits in mero sohedules—this he did know—that It is better than the MoKinley law. He knew, he said, that in apart of it it does afford some relief to the taxpayers of this oountry and does clip the wings of the glgantlo monopolies that are now them and blocking legislation. He continued: "Take even tbQse portions of tbe bill over which this contest between too two hou been waged take iron ore and coal, upo! wo have confronted, and. to a oertaln extent,

unsuccessfully confronted, tho groat railroad syndicates of the country yet we have roduoed them both nearly CO per cent, below the MoKluloy law. Take the sugar sohcdule, ovor which the greatest of all the contests between the two housos has been waged. Vicious as It muy be, burdensome to tho pcoplo as It may be, favorable to the trust as It may be, it Is left vicious, less favorable to tho trust, less burdensome to the people, than Is the MoKinley law, under whloh this (rust has grown so great as to overshadow with Its power the American people. if for no other reason, then, those who believe that wbeu they cannot take the fiil step which they desire, when they canndt do that which the people commissioned then) to do, they must take the best they can a&d step as far at they can, may find some justification lor an unhesitating choice between the two bills."

Will Produce Sufficient Revenue,

In reply to Mr, Hudson (pop., Jtan,), Mr. Wilson said he had n6 nesitanf whatever In sa schedules of the amendments, get Into normal operation It will produce sufflolent and more than sufflolent revenue for the support of the government, fle would add to the Answer that perhaps In the beginning the bill will not produce at much revenue as will result from It later on under its ordinary working, because he Was informed, whether It be true or not,he dlq ftot know, that

VOL. VII—NO. 41 CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 14,1894 PEIOE 2 CENTS

the sugar trust, in anticipation of the passage of the bill, has imported about 8100,000,000 worth, or, it has been said, even In cxcess of that quantity, of raw sugar. "Will the passage of this bill, In your Judgment, save the country from the further Issue of bonds?" continued Mr. Sudaon. "I think I have already oovered tbat question in my previous answer. It may be in the first few months of the operation of the blU, because qf th4p great aooumulation of raw sugar, to whloh I have lust referred, that the revenues of the government will not be sufficient to meet the expenditures of the government. But it is my belief, in view of the large amount of imported goods In bond, and also In view of the fact that there will be larger Importations when the tariff rates are definitely known and fixed, that if the neoesslty does not exist to-day it will not exist after the passage of this bill."

Beed Is Sarcastic.

Ex-Speaker Reed, the republican leader, spoke in a vein of sarcasm and humor whloh at times oouvulsed the house with laughter. He was followed by Jir. McMillan (Tenn.), who critloised Mr. Beed for not discussing the question at Issue, and prooeeded to point out, as he claimed, some good features of the senate bill—free wool, free lumber, free hemp, eto.— and the reductions in the general sohedules. Mr. Burrows (rep., Mloh.) spoke in the same vein as did Mr. Reed. Be deolared that the action of the oauous whloh the house was about to endorse was not compromise! It was unconditional surrender.

Cookran Is Beard.

Mr. Cookran (dem., N. Y.) made a strong protest against the consummation of this tariff legislation, whloh recalled his famous speeoh of protest at the Chloago convention. Mr. Cookran said: "Mr. Speaker, It seems to me that the question before this house has been somewhat overlooked. Tbe vital point at Issue here is whether the Amerloan oongress is to legislate or whether some unknown, unmentloned foroe can block the wheels of legislation and make the representatives of the people cower In the dust and surrender they know not to whom. "On one momentous oeoaslon the gentleman frjm West Virginia, borne upon affectionate and loyal shoulders, was tbe oentrol figure of a demonstration which evidenced tbe depth of feeling throughout the American people, long pent up, at last fondly considered triumphant over all obstructions. To-day no more pathotlo figure In the history ot the world oan be observed than that satne leader, shorn of his support, walking down Che.3 (Isles, disdaining to prevaricate or misrepresent the actual condition whlol confronts us, confessing that he hss been deserted by those Is whose support he had every reason to oonfide, asking us to reoord our betrayal of every prinolpal whioh the house under his leadership has maintained. "We are told that three, four, five, six, joven or eight individuals have managed to make suoh a combination In the other branch that an obasge In Its terms will be vital to the passage ot the measure. It that be so, it the home ot the Amerloan people, in the name of Uberty and honor, let us know who they are. ''We are hopelessly discredited beoause our oowardloe makes our surrender disgraceful. "Mr. Speaker, I desire to state here that In my humble Judgment the meSsure whloh we are now asked to pass is amors obnoxious protective measure than the MoKinley aot, Whloh It Is designed to supplant." ICrles of dissent on the demooratlo side and jeers.l

Mr. Cookran ridiouled the action of the house eonferrees in having gone forth to meet the senate eonferrees, and then having turned and fled at a shadow without haying met the enemy in oonfiiot at all. Maid hei -Thus you stab tartfl reform in the house of its friends. You surrender the dignity an4 Independence ot the house to secure the passage of a bill whloh will so firmly entrenoh protection in popular favor that this generation may never see another successful effort to overthrow It. •If we are to swallow this whole obnoxious the name of fair play, U) the Mine

Speaker Crisp Takes the Floor. Speaker Crisp was reoognlced aejld uoh applause, Mr. Tracy (N. Y.) being in the ohair, Mr. Crisp said he wished to publioly -assume his full share of responsibility for the aotipn about tp be taken, and expressed the belief that it was In tbe best interest of tariff reform. He referred to tbe gentleman frppi New York (Mr. Cookran) as spending but little of his time in attending to the business of the house, and as indulging in pyroteobnlos about principle while plain practioal business men were seeking to obtain gptne relief for a suffering people. 'Half a loaf is better than no bread.' therefore we will take the senate bill." Mr. Crisp, continuing, saldi "We will send to the senate orystallzed Into tbe form of sots passed In this hall bills mating sugar free,

p&lfititt

"It there Is a sugar trust in this oountry whioh is dominating legislation tbe republican party created it. And though this bill does not destroy tltat Must, as We wish It dl£, It takes awa? m6re tnafi one-half of the protection to that trust. 'If there Is a ooal oomblne the legislation of the republican party built it up, and, though we do not make coal free in this bill, we reduce the duty from 78 oents to 40 cents. If there is a steel and iron combine the same remark applies. Oping through tbesc schedules, while tnej ate not all we wlshtthey are (and we want the o'oafitry to underutund It) tho bOBt we can now get. The moment we get this we Intend to move forward we do not intond there shall be any backward step In tarll? reform."

Cockrtin Hits Back.

As tho speaker closed Mr. Cockran (N. Y.) excitedly arose and asked to make a statement of personal privilege. There was great oonfuslon. The chair declined to rcoognlte tho privilege as contrary to the special rules. Mr. Cookran persisted In his demand for a privilege statement, and with some asperity he said with reference to the speaker's reflections upon his absence that "It was an evidence of the growth of Georgia ohlvalry, slnoe Alexander Stevens Wfei

replaced In the speakership by the present oeoupant of the ohalr." The speaker disclaimed any lntenon of refleotlng on Mr. Cockran, but le lnoldent caused muoh oonfuslon and it was many minutes before order oould be restored.

Mr. Wilson Makes a Correction. After this exciting soene Mr. Wilson arose and oorreoted a statement he had made in bis opening to the effect that 9100,000,000 worth of raw sugar had been purchased by the sugar trust In anticipation of the passage of the sugar sohedule of the senate bill. He had been mistaken, he afterward learned. The trust had purchased 448,OOO tons. "How muoh Is that In dollars and oents?" aalled out a senator. "About 638,000,000," replied Mr. Wilson,

Mr. Wilson then demanded a vote on the resolution. Yeae and nays were then ordered. The vote oh the motion to oonour in the senatfc amendxnen and pass the bill resulted! YeaS, 16 nays, 105.

Coal on the Free List.

Mr. Wilson offered the first of the separate free list bills, in aocoraanoe with the resolution adopted by the oauous. It provided for the free admission upon Its passage of bituminous ooal, shale, slaok and Soke. The Vote by tellers showed T8 for and 47 against. Mr. Reed raised the point of no quorum, and Mr. TVUson 4emande4 a tea and nay vote, 'pie free ogal bill was passed—yeas, 190i nays, lOli answering present, 1. Twenty-one democrats voted against the bill as follows!

Alderson (W. Vs.), Bankhead (Alo), Boatner (La.), Burnes (MoJ. Crain (Tex.), Davey Deason (Ala.), Edmunds (Va.), Krlbbs

MoKelg (McL), Oates (Ala.), JtelUy (La.). Swanson (Va.),

Robblns Swanson (Va.), Tucker (Va.), Wise (Va.), Weadook (Mich.), Wheeler (Alo.), Wolverton (Pa.) and Epps (Va.).

For Free Iron.

Mr. Wilson then said he was dtreoted by the democratic caucus to present the bill placing iron ore on tne free list. Mr. Blair (rep., N. H.) demanded that Mr. Wilson give the names of suoh republican senators as had relinquished opposition to the tariff bill on condition thot their interests In the bill were looked for. Mr. Wilson said he had heard the oharge, but oould give no names. Representative Cannon (rep., 111.) spoke against the bill, the democrats not olaimlng their time. As soon as he oonoluded the bill waB passed.

The democrats voting against free iron ore were: Alderson (W. Vs.), Bankhead (Ala.), Beltshoover (Pa,), floatner (La.). Davey (La.), Deasou (Ala.), Edmonds (vs.), Meyer (&&.), Oates (Ala.), Price (La.).Hellly (Pa.),Bobbins (Ala.), Robertson lLa.), Swanson (Va.), Weadook (Mloh). Wheeler (Ala.) and Wise (Va.).

Ia TUt with BMf

Mr. Wilson next presented the bill for free barbed wire. Mr. Reed asked Mr. Wilson what the barbed wire rate wai in the Wilson bill, and the answer being SB per oent., Mr. Eeed spoke with sarcasm of the sudden transformations in the tariil.

Mr. Wilson replied with spirit that he would not answer Mr. Reed's scoldings. He would say this work of reforming the tariff would never cease until the heel of monopoly was taken from the Amerloan people.

Mr. Hopkins (rep. 111.) and Mr. Gear (rep. Ia.) spoke against the bill and Ooombes (dead. K. Y.) for It. The latter said the t)Oa»e oould hot afford to let tbe senate adjourn, if the session lasted until December, Ontil those blils were passed. [Applause,]
