He then proceeded to deliver a plowing eu'.opy of the tariff lull as It passed the Senate, which, unlike that of the houo, he declared, containi-d no menace to the Industries of the country, and had not been framed by men from spirsely settled districts, who knew nothing of the Kreut commercial interests of the ITnhed States. II asserted that the framorn of the house bill and a large proportion of the democratic party were nut tarifi" reformers; they were free traders. "I have tried, Mr. President, to define the position of my colleagues atal my?olf with the tandr and moderation be-fl t tins' a niemer of this bmly. I have trieil to rpeak dlspnsslonately and In a Fplrlt of friendliness rather than of hostility. I have tried to lm frank and have scrnpuiouly avoided covert threats by inference or Inunndo.

I should certainly fall in my duty If I faibd to speak with the utmost plainness. And .w, sir, I say In conclusion. In all friendliness toward those who have aspersed our motives, that so far as I am concerned, they need expect no further concessions-. I have labored earnr?;ly and honestly to bring about a satisfactory settlement of the question. Hut. Hr, 1 have readied the limit. I have done. It would be unbecoming in me, Mr. President, to suggest to our conferee -what they should do. They are old-M- "-nd wiser and know what Is best. P.ut It is certainly h'ttintrlhat they should understand the wishes of t heir collcavcues. And so I K-iy. for myself, I know, and for many others, I bei, eve, that If I were a mc-ml.er of that committee I should eay to the conferees from the house In Rrswcr to the defi mo' which has been flung In our f oes: 'Gentlemen, there is our bill. Ii is the result of reat labor and IntirMt pains. It has met the approval both of the free trade and protection elements of our party. It is adapted to conditions, not thiories. It is Hut perfect, but it is as nearly perfect as we can hooe to make It at this session. In any event, such as it Is, there It lis. You axe at lU-rty to take it or leave It.' That, plr, would be my position. I would not re -eile from it so much as a hair's breadth." si: atk iiu.i.H ipi:i:cii. rite tt VorLer llrrrniU tli letter of the I'renlden t. "When Mr. Smith concluded. Mr. Hill Jumped to his feet and Iwing recognized, launched his speech, lis said: "A thory as well ns a condition now confronts us. nie theory of the democratic party Is that in the enactment et tariff legislation free raw materials should always be an essential find conspicuous fjornent. It Is our creed that the materials which enter into our manufactures should be freed from the burdens of tariff taxation. The best Interests of the manufacturers, as well as the consumers of the land, demand the recognition of this wise discrimination. We are committed to this side of the question, ami we cannot retreat and we car. not retract. We are honorably bound redeem our professions and our promise. Justice, gxKxl filth and a. decent regard for Ü19 public sentiment all require this coure. Until recently I had supposed that there was no dispute upon hia question of principle, but that every damocTdt worthy of the name waa wlllInjr to concede that If there was one thing mre than another to which the democratic party was committed it svaa In favor of the doctrine of absolutely free raw materials. The true and honest construotion , of every democratlo national platform for twelve years past Irrevocably convmlt tis to this just and reasonable principle." Mr. Illil, referring to the democratic rational platform of 1S92, continued: "To repeal the McKinley law in form simply; to re-enact It In effect Is keeping this promise to the- letter, but breaking it In ftpirit. The platform pointed with pride and debliberateiy approved the measures tor free iron ore, free lead ore, free coal and free wool which were pending In congress at the time of the convention. The democratic position, was so plain and Is so clear that he who runs may read. "If any democratic orator In any part of the country, forgetting the Interests of the whole land and subserving the auppoied Interests of a locality, promised of a&r Uta or scti9q that

there would be any exception made to the enforcement of the general principle

of free raw materiils when the democrats should obtain power, h exceeded his authority and misinterpreted our position. "It Is snld by some, In Justification or excuse for their present action, that the president's letter of acceptance of is:i2 modified the extreme demands of our platfofm. It Is iru that som portions of his letter may tend to bear that construction. It whs not that ringing nnd explicit declaration In favor of the platform which his party had a right to expect, but was regarded by many as timid, cautions iin.l conservative- but whether tills criticism 1 or is not w 11 ! found -d. the fact remains th.it h- hi 1 n) power or authority to chanue fir 1 alter nn line, or sentr-ne-c, or provision of thi national platform which hid b-'en deliberately adopted in national convention duty ssembled. "No president can be above his party; n president can dictate to Ids party; 110 president can chsnge h!n party platformHut no matter what Idea It may be claimed was Intended to be conveyed ItV bis letter of accept Alice, In mitigation or modification of the platform, there can l 110 doubt us to the presidents position at this time upon this 's'nilal principle of fre raw o.aHrlal. l,et in rt from that remarkabl letter of tb president's which was yesterday sutnnttt'd to the bouse of representatives. It expresses better than 1 can hope 1o do tht true, leound and logical position of the democratic jmtty Uin this question." After reading extract frotrr the lettr, Mr. Hill went on as fo.ws: "Mr. President, I approve every word of that I have quoted. It Is an honest and manly statement of the true attltul which the party should at time In this crisis. I am Hot reipilrid to defend the propriety or wisdom of thi promulgation of this, letter at t r If peculiar time. It may have Ih i ii hull. rii-t, It nuiy operate as a tire- ! brand to spread the flames if disci rd 11 tread y kindled anions party friend, honestly differing, as I am disposed to concede upon questions of public and party policy. It truty widen the breach already -xlMtlng In this senate and In llt.it view It may b rcganb-d as unfortunate und lll-advlsid. It was a time for diplomacy, statesmanship and conciliation, rather than recrimination, denunciation and nrralngnieiit. Hut uslde from the question of Its mere expediency, I am heiv to defend the president's 1-tter In so far as It demands that party shall not be bd astray Into the violation of democratic pledges and prlneples. I'ri-e HnY Mil tcrlnla. "Ppon the question of free raw material the president is rinht and you know It- You can ii"t answer his arRiiments. You can not suocessfully dtspute his proo-qtloii. You can not doubt his sincerity and patriotism. You must yield in the end to his views. You can not M ind 111 Rfvulnst the fx-titlmcrit of the preat democratic masses of the country, w hl h will rally around the president In his outest with you upon this particular bran h of the suhje. t. The time to yield Is now, hefo-e Un re is further humiliation, embarrassment and discord. Mr. President. hainx demonstrated that the true d-inon attc theory of revenue reform requires that free raw materia should be its distinguishing feature, let us next inquire what Is the condition which now confronts us. The sen- ! ate bill, which has b- t-n passed. vhj late thi democratic theory, and. while It reduces the duty on iron. com. ie;ui and some other raw materials from those Imposed under the McKinley law, and In that respect Is commendable, It nevertheless Imposes some duties thereon and tlcreby falls to red-cm our pU-dges. "It is not a question of the amount of duties whbh may be imposed a question of principle Js Involved and a single penny duty violates our promise and plac. s us in a false position. As the president well says, there an be no promise on a matter of this character, where a vital prlnclpl" Is ;i t stake. "The house of representatives. fresh from the people, which represents more distinctly and peculiarly than w do the taxing power of the people, repudiates our bill and a democratic president his emjhasl7.i.d that repudiation and the condition whlcn confronts us is one .f extrem- embarrassment. Shall we retreat or advance? Shall we surrend- r to the house while we can do so honorably, or shall we wait until we are driven to It? "In the light of the letter of the president the house cannot honorably reI treat. It has no other alternative exj cept to Insist upon Its bill wherein It provides for free raw materials. lny lmn n Veto. "The president cannot approve the yenate bill after what he has said In this remarkable letter. He arraigns the senate and Intimates that the enactment of the senate bill means 'party perfidy and party dishonor.' Thesn are strong words which the president of the United States wout 1 not use toward a measure which he ever expected afterward to approve. This letter, unusual and unprecedented In its character and method of promulgation though it be, nevertheless clearly foreshadows a veto of tht senate bill even If the house should Anally concur in our amendments. What person would expect the president to approve the senate bill after the vigorous and scathing denunciation contained in his letter? You would think less of him for his glaring inconsistency. No, this letter is significant, it is bold, vigorous, evn if Imprudent. It means war to the knife agiinst the senate bill; It justifies much that has been said against the senate bill during all the last thre months; It means that it can never receive executive approval; It means that the senate cannot b permitted to abandon or surrender the great underlying principles for which we Mrugg'eil and lost In lsss, and fought and won in 1S02. "The president Is right. There Is no middle ground which we can occupy. No bill which does not provide for free raw materials can be permltteed to btcome a law. It Is unnecessary to enter Into any argument to define or designate what articles constitute raw materials. Every dem.RTat knows what they ars. Any article may l considered raw material when It Is In the lowest or crudest form In which it enters Into commerce. That definition la ample and sufllclent. aril will reden our pledtrew If it Is honestly applied. The party platform was for free, not freer materials, as Is now Ingeniously contended. If the president. In his wisdom, had seen flt while the debate was progressing in the senate to have aided my efforts to secure adhesion to tills principle by expressing his views In favor thereof In some proper and legitimate way, I should have been gratified, and It unquestionably would hava been of practical benefit to the cause.

Mr. Vest took the lloor wh.-n Mr. Hill sat down. After the sp".'ch of the s-r;a-of from New Vol k, n b -;;.i:i. it w.tr; a r-iilij.'it ot con t; rat ul.at I on that lie and the prcsM-di!. had at last found a platform on wiii Ii both could stand. The lion and lamb had at last lain down together and wire led as a little child by the ways and means committee, lie left to others to decide which was the lion ami which was the lamb. The senator from New Y k had said 'h it free raw materials was. a cardinal principle of dem n-raey. The president went further and declared that failure to place raw materiils on the fre list was democratic peril. ly and llsbonor. Why !!d n d :he senator from New York vote for free wool, he asked. "I lid riot vte on several motions when the Mil was In committee." replied Mr. Hill, "but I distinctly voted for free wool in the senate." "If my very mill was thrilllnfr and pulsating for free raw materials," retorted Mr. Vest, sarcastic-ally, "at the peril of my life I should hav? been on hand to vite on every roll-call for the carillnal principle of ilemiK racy." Mr. Vest then proceeded to read the letter of acc ptame of President Cleveland In Wl. pronouncing In favor of freer raw material. Yet now he denounced freer raw materials as pertidy and dishonor. In scathing tones he arraigned fne president, lie had been his friend, he said. In thunderous tones; he had defended him on the lloor of the seriate when his friemls could have been counted on the tinger-i of one hand. Where did the president get the right to dictate to congress; to denounce one branch of conf.ress totheothr? lld he embody in his single being all the democracy, all the tariff reform sentiment in this country? Mr. Cleveland was a big man. I tut the democratic party was greater than any one man. It had survived JciT?rs':n, Madison, Jackson and it would survive (Irover Cleveland. I'nder what clause of the constitution did Mr. Cleveland jret the right after a bill had b en sent to "full and free" conference between the two houses to mike an apipal to M.i party friends to stand by his Individual Views? Mrs. Madison had said. In her memoirs, that the capltol had been place 1 at one end of the avenue and the white house at the other to prevent the president from exercising an undii" IntlU'-nee on the legislative branch of the governm nt. If the president could Fenl letters here to tell Iiis friends to stand tlrm, he had the right to semi his cabinet ministers here to co rce members of congress. He h id a right to, as h had d ne during the fight over the repeal of the Sherman law, punish recalcitrant members of his own p'"ty. U was a mockery to talk of a full and free conference when one of the conferees came to the committee's room with the orders of the president In hts pocket. Mr. Ve-"t spoke with bitterness ' of the president's denunciation of the senate bill, which had been parsed after four months of such toil and resp msibility as he Phoul 1 never assume again. Yes, he snld, those who were Instrumental, in harmonizing the differences and bringing about Its passage tariff reformers before Mr. Cleveland bej'an his phenomenal career had been arraigned as traitors who nought to dishonor their party. Personally the bill did riot suit him. He was a radical tariff reformer, but If he could not get all he would take what he could get. "I give It as my opinion." he declared In conclusion, "that we will pass this bill or no bill." "Do you mean to say," asked Mr. Aldrich as Mr. Vest was about to take his Beat, "that you did not know of the existence of the president's letter for the seventeen days during which it remained In Mr. Wilson's pocket?" "I do," replied Mr. Vest. "And further I desire to say that I knew personally that lioth the president and Secretary Carlisle understood the difficulties under which we were laboring. Mr. Carlisle saw the original 400 amendments and urged us to secure the passage of som bill at any sacrifice, declaring the failure of all tariff legislation to be the greatest calamity that could happen to the democratic party. Therefore, when I first m.w the president's letter placing on us the odium of framing a bill that means a dishonor to the democratic party, to use but a mild expression, I was struck with Infinite amazement. I am not here to defend or attack che administration, but to proclaim the rectitude of our motives. "The defense which the senator from New York has made of the president." added Mr. Vest, "reminds me of a desperate murder case which I tried once. The only defense I was ab'.e to make was that the ax v jd .yft tufferlns from such utUr

moral depravity that he was absolutely " Incapable of crime. He -was acoultted.

Afterward he came to me to thank me for the vsrdlct. In doing so he s.tld. however, that he would rather go to the penitentiary for life than again listen to the defense I made of him." (Laughter.)

The derr lcr.its uf the feinte know, nnd I know, that the enatr.r from New York has taken every occasion to tell the democratic senators what they stmul I do and how tluv Hliould proceed in t lie matter of deaiaiK with this bill." Mr. Ml'.l ask.?d Mr. (iray to say what he had said In the democratic conference referred to. but Mr. Cray retorted that he would not be led into the Impropriety of d'solosinit wliat took place thre. Mr. Cray, continuing, said that the New York senator had no authority to lecture and Instruct the senate, at which punt Mr. Hlil interrupted him to say that he had not endeavored to instruct the le'.aware senator nor to reflect upon any member of the senate, but. he adled. that If in pursuing what he conceived to be a proper course In the senate he ht 1 reflected up n any one, he could not help it and he supposed that It was because of such reflection that the Delaware senator wB-s H'luirmlrnr now. Mr. I'uch sought to ask a question, but Mr. Mill declined to hear It at the time, at which Mr. Puch remarked that he had hoped to eml the controversy by such a t nest Ion. "Might open It," Mr. Hill remarked, as he lock his seat. Mr. !ray resumed his speech. He said he would not attempt to pain brief applause by declaring what tils individual views were. It was well known that his views were as extreme as those held by th" extremest of tariff reformers. Here Mr. Aldtich was r cognized to put a question. He said Mr. Cray had called attention to the fact that the senate tariff hill was an ahiindonment of democratic principles, and he wanted to ask the senator whether he did not think the president's letter Just hied that view. Mr. Cray rtlid that the presMent had shown himself abund-intly aide to vindicate himself. He sal' the president had the conlldence of the American people and had never betrayed It. As for himself, he was as much in favor of fre? coal an. free Iron ore ns the pr. sld r.t, and he thouuht he had announced such advocacy before the president had. Mr. Aldrtch "lint the attitude of the f resident Is that any duty, however small, s an act of pertidy nnd dishonor." Replying to this thrust. Mr. (Jray declared that Mr. Aldrlch was simply Joining with Mr. Hid In lit . nltempt to -reale linmrd. ' "Me Is," said Mr. Cray, "simply doing his utmost to help along the dance, nti he and the senator from New York can simply waltz down ihe aisle together." SCVVTOK VILAS'S ItOMIlMII'.I.I.. Hp Move to Strike Out the One1 :t K l t Ii Differential on Sugnr. At the conclusion of Mr. Cray's speech Mr. Vilas took the floor and offered as a substitute for Mr. Hill's motion a motlun to Instruct the senate conferees to recedfrom n much of lha senate sugar amendment as provided for a duty of nc per pound ou rellned sugar dn addition to the in per cent, ad valor?m on all ruRars. Mr. Vila addressed the senate in support of his amendment. He deprecated the personallllea that had been Injected into the debate today. He referred to the petition of the business men of Chicago presented to the senate today, praying for a speedy and profitable end to this long uncertainty. He Indorsed that petition. The conference had failed. The two houes were arrayed against each nher. yet It was proposed that the aenat fur'her Insist on every one of th" 634 ainenlmetits. Was that tiie way to accomplish results? The majority of the house today was a majority sent by the people t crystallise the doctrine of tariff reform after years of asitatlon. The house, after months of laborious work, had sent to the senate a measure of tariff reform that had been received with Joy by the country. When the senate hai heaped upon i the measure Its amendments the bill was not received with cordiality by the people. It was hardly recognisable. Yet it was proposed to stand fast for each one of the ftat amendments. What would Justify the senate In taking that position njiv? If the senate did this it violatel the spirit Of the constitution. The senate souKht to make articles dutiable which the house place! on the free list. The amendment he offered, he said, would strike down an Iniquitous and Indefensible amendment placed in the bill by tiie senate. With that exception he was prepared to vote for further Insistence of the senate amendments. He believed sugar a. proper suojeot of taxation, but the discrimination In favor of the sugar refining Interest was a tax levied tnr ' Vi nnm 10 ,f aMll rnrilok enrtcalag1 w üiLn ! - ' Y

"Does not the , of a cent differential placed on refined sugar." askM Mr. Caffery of IjouUlana, "inure to the lepnt of the proluers?" 'The senator from Louisiana Is better able to answer that question than I." replied Mr. Vilas. "But It has met with the universal disspproKstlon of the peop'.e because It has Ien placed In th 111 as a peculiar advantage to ttie trust. As such I deal with It. I, et us deliver ourselves from this charge of subserviency to a colossal atel Ci T'sus-llke comtn'na if on."

When the senate, on Frlliy, adjourned over until Monday, it was understood that this was dune with tiie hope of making reaee in the democratic party hy patching up the differences n the tariff bill. Among other plans which pome of the democratic senators hid in view th;-n was one gettin Senator Vilas to withdraw his motion to have the senate recede from so much of its sugar amendment as provides a duty of 'd cent a pound on relined sugar. Accordingly Mr. Vilas was appealed to by a large number of democratic senators to relieve the senate of the embarrassment which the offering of the motion has causd, by not Insisting ujsiti the amendment. This he has declined to do. lit-- sutd late today that be had no intention of withdrawing it. "I shall let the motion bo decided uimn Its merits," he said, "or call the chair to riilo upon It. hut I shall not withdraw lt. I did not." he continued, "offer the motion with a view of throwing a bomb, and if it had thaX effect, It was not the result of my purpose. I thought I saw an opjK.rtunity to compromise the differences existing between the senate and house and made the motion with that end In view. It has seemed to me that this differential duty 1 the vital spot of the differences between the two h.iuses of congress, and I believe that If it could he gotten rid of the two txidles could easily compose their differences nnd an agreement be reached upon the bill." The nenatoi ppent the entire afternoon in the office of the secretary of the senate looking up the parliamentary law bearing upon the question of the admissablllty of nn amendment of the character of bis and fortifying himself to resist the point of ord?r which would be made Against his motion that a senate amendment to a bill cannot be entertained under the rules when a bill Is In conference. There Is very little doubt that this point, when made, will be sustained by the chair. Senator Harris has said that If he Is in the chair when the point la made he will sustain It. In case of an appeal from the decision It Is understood that the republicans will vote with a majority of the democrats to sustain the decision. They say that while they will vote for the original motion. If put. they will not oppose, by their votes, a ruling of the chair which they believe will be right. In the event that the chair Is sustained It would appear that there would be nothing left for the senate to do but either to give Instructions for recession from entire amendments or to Instruct Its conferees to stand by the senate bill. However, there are mysterious hints of other means of getting Instructions to the conference on the subject of the differential duty oiv sugar. It Is possible that other expedients will he tried, but what they may be no one has undertaken to say. As to the general situation in the Senats tth rafarann to tbo tariff lull anj

A large maj rlty of ilf-mix-r.itie senators are wrrkln hard to bring about nn agreement. It is oven Intimated tint an effort has h n made t i brlnfr the president and sme of the conserva live senators together. It does not appear, however, that the men who are mast largely responsible for the senate 'tail in Its present shape have no far shown any disposition to chinge from their former exaction.;, and unless peacemakers make rapid headway between this tlm and Morulay, the prospect is good for another day of very animated speeches In the senate. Tim m:rt iimca i'iiogram. It Is nlil They AVI11 Vole for Ihe VII Mitlii Wim t Ilrlce Snyn. The republican advisory committee of the senate held a meeting today for the purpose of an exchange of views upon the present situation In the senate with regard to the tariff. The opinion was generally expressed amonR senators prom-nt that the democratic situation wa.i very delicate, and It Is understood that n decision was re.iche! th.it it would not hi improved from a republican standpoint by the Interference of Tepublicm senators; hence they will advise nu-mbers of th.Ir party ti allow the democratic senators t i continue to do th jsroater part of th talking In the i--en.it e n the subject of th? tariff so long as th-y will do so. It is also understood that the committer discussed the policy oi the pirt tiie republicans with reference to th" differential duty on sugar and corn-lu i-d to advise that th riiublican senators should vit solMly to strike It nit. if they should h ive the jp rtunity to do So. Thon has bfc-n a persistent rumor about 'the o.ipliol tobiy tliat tho rnservative ilemof-ratl' senators have b.t-n in conference and that they ad ptM a plan iinikr which steps Hie to ! t.ik n to defeat 'the tariff bill If by .", n'i'l.n-k Monday the senate did not definitely Instruet the tariff conference to stand by the senate bill. Senator I?rlo, who Is regarded ns the leader f this el-iuciit. pronoun cd the story as without foundation. Ib paid it was tru", however, that. th conservatives had been u. great deal log"thr, two or thrH at a time, and they un.lersto'xl one another perfectly. He said fur-thei-mre that so far ns he wn concerned he had decided to support Mr Vilas In h!.s effort to have the sugar differential stricken out of the bill, and 1 led that the sugar schedule being an administration measure, he siw no ronson why the administration should not have its way about It now. He added that If lnistan e upon this course should result in the defeat of the bill, as he th night It might, the conservative democrats would not be responsible for tint result.
