The other absentees are either out of the city or failed to secure notice in time. None of them have been count ed as against the bill, and it was said they would indorse the action of the caucus. In presenting the resolution and stating the object of the caucus, Senator Gorman made a conciliatory speech. He said it was necessary to make concessions in order to se cure the united support of the party and he further asserted that it would need a Democratic majority to pass the bill. He stated that propositions had been made on all sides, and it was believed the measure with the proposed amendments would now meet the support which was abso- lutely neccessary to pass a Demo- cratic tariff bill. Senator Jones of Arkansas, the member of the finance committe,who has taken the most active part in the preparation of the amendments known as the comprise bill, made a speech in which he explained at length the proposed amendments, and told why they were necessary. He did not discuss or read all of them, but selected the most import- ant and those affecting the greatest interests. Senator McPherson spoke in sup- port of the resolution and dwelt at some length upon the concessions which Northern and Eastern Demo crats had been obliged to make and what they had to give up in order to meet the demands of the Suuth and West. He claimed that the conces- sions that were talked of by the other Senators were not wholly on one side. Senators Palmer and Vilas made long and vigorous speeches urging party harmany and the neces- sity of early action. Great interest centered in the speech of Senator Smith of New Jersey, and his remarks were re- ceived with a great deal of satisfac tion, for, while he said he was not satisfied with the bill, and was unal terably opposed to the income tax he was ready to support the measure with the amendments which had been agreed upon, although he claimed that what were called con- cessions by the Southern and West- ern men were but small compared after giving the matter due consid- eration, had concluded that it was possible that the bill as first report ed had not been sutlicientiy consid erate of the interests of all sections He had then endeavored, in con- nection with others, to remedy these defects as he saw them, and in do ing so had tried to consult Senators representing all shades of opinion. He gave the reasovs why the major- ity {of Democratic Senators repre senting the South and West wanted the income tax, and why the minori- ty from the North and East were opposed to it, and said that while out of deference to the majority it had been kept in, the minority had been granted the limitation of the time that the law should continue in force, and that while the period had not been fixed it would probably be placedZat tive years. He said also that many of the industrial features of the bill had been omitted but that the amount exempted and the rate of taxation had not been changed. He also said that the sugar sched- ule had been changed so as to prc- vide for an ad valorem duty of 40 per cent, and an additional duty of ene eighth of a cent on sugar import ed from countries paying a bounty on sugar, the present law with the bounty to stand till Jan.1 next. He said that the ad valorem tax was not materially different from the sugar provision in the pending one. He also stated that a large num- ber of other amendments had been made but did not mention them in detail or make any explanation of them{except to say that in no case were the rates of duty fixed so high as in the McKinley law. He said in conclusion that an earnest effort had ests; that many concessions have been made to the eastern and north ern Democrats by changes from that it was hoped that when the of the senate. says: ‘I have used Park’ Tea and find for constipation, dosee and is more thorough. nothing eise in the tuture.”’ L Tucker. only one dissenting vote to day, is by far the most important measure which has thus far come from the Dockery joint commission.
