THE DEBATE IN THE HOUSE. Both Parties Represented in the Discussion Today, WOOLENS The Classification Bill in the Sen- ate--The Silver Bill Goes Over. ———— SENATE. On motion of Mr. Morrill the House bill pro- viding for the classification of worsted cloths as woolens was taken up for consideration. The bill was so just and proper, Mr. Morrill said, that he hoped there would be a unani- mous vote inits favor. It had been recom- mended by Secretary Fairchild; but the binnder had gone on for six years, destroying the great woolen industry of the country. Mr. Gray said he fatled to see why the bill should pass, On the contrary, there were rea- ‘ons why it should not pass. ‘These reasons he preferred to state at considerable length. THE SILVER BILL GOES OVER. At2 o'clock the bill was laid aside to take up the silver bill, but after discussion the consider- ation of the silver bill was, by unanimous con- sent, postponed until Monday, when it will be Pari up not to be laid aside until tinal action is had, ‘The territorial bills will go over until after action on the silver bill. ‘The worsted bill will be disposed of first and then the appropriation bills army, military academy and pension. Saturday will be r served for the calendar. NOMINATIONS TODAY.

Foote of Pennsylvania, Willits Pedrick of New Jersey, Eugene P. Webber of North Carolina, HOUSE, After the reading of the journal the Bouse went into committee of the whole (Mr, Payson of Illinois in the chair) on the tariff bill. Mr. Dockery (Mo.) said that the exercise of the function of government involved an ex- penditure of money. Any system of taxation which might be devised to provide for neces- sary revenue should illustrate the principle of perfect equality, The burden of taxation had always been willingly assumed by the peo- ple when restricted to legitimate public pur- poses, but history made no record of that will- lngness when taxation was intended to sub- serve private interests. That the present sys- tem >t taxation did not restrict the revenue to the needs of the government was shown by THE SURPLUS IX TRE TREASUR’ which had compeliod the Treasury Department to purchase bonds, paying therefor « premium of $47,000,000, But the surplus was only an incidental burden. The substantial Durden Was the oppressive taxation of the people. He favored the enlarging of the market for agricul- tural products and the unshackiing of life's daily needs from unnecessary and paralyzing taxa- tion, In the last campaign the republican party had claimed that the farmers would be enefited by protection, Yet, after the re- publican victory, the depression in agriculture was greater than ever, EFFECT OF THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW. Mr. Morse (Mass.) inquired whether the in- terstate commerce law had not something to do with that depression, Mr. Dockery replied that so far as the inter- state commerce law was concerned the same conditions prevailed prior to the election as subsequent to it. This depression had fol- lowed a great protective victory. It was not a temporary condition that the country had to deal with. Farm prices had not recovered since the panic of 1873. The constant tendency in the west had been downwardsince that time, y in every western city and town there were signs read “Eastern money to loan on improved farms.” ‘The avowed pur- pose of a protective tax was to prohibit com- ctiton by adjusting duties so high as to pro- fi importation or sufficiently bigh to enable protected interests to advance materially the prices of their wares, Increased profits to protected industries were the legitimate result of the republican position. THE TARIFF AND THE PRICES OF FARM PRODUCTS. He then proceeded to argue that it was not in the power of any tariff to raise the price of any agricultural product unless it could be seen that it was brought into competition with a forcign article. Instead of having to meet eompetition on our own soil the American farmers exported their produce to supply the agricultural deficiency of European countries, Mr. Morse inquired whether the farmers did aes have to compete with the farmers of Can- ada, Mr. Dockery replied that the question re- vealed another injustice of the tariff system. The western farmer had no competition, but the effect of the tariff on agricultural products Was detrimental to the farmers of the east. Eggs, with a duty of five cents a dozen, were brought from Canada to New York. Why? Because it was cheaper to pay the duty on eggs than to pay the railroad eates from the west to the east. Therefore the tariff geve no benefit to the farmer of the west and taxed the eastern farmer to the extent of the duty. LONG AND SHORT MAUL, ‘Mr. Morse remarked that if the long and short haul section of the infamous interstate com- merce law were repealed this would be cor- rected, Mr. Dockery replied that whatever defects might exist in the law both parties were responsible for them. But he would not discuss that law now. In order to show that the farmers of the west met with petit from foreign he instanced the ex bushels of wheat and ret tae et was to pi true of corn and other farm products, The ex- were much larger than the importa- He then submitted an in favor of free wool and a reduction of duty on the manu- Ul factured products. In hie state there were 1,000,000 more people than sheep, aud between the sheep i ae people bis sympathy was with the people. DISCURSING THE SUBJECT OF TRUSTS as connected with the tariff, he denounced the dressed-beef monopoly of Chicago as having plundered the farmers of the west by its un- scrupulous exactions. if the farmer was to be relieved, if the mortgage was to be taken of his jarm, the government must speedily reverse its policy in regard to foreign trade. If the government would un- shackle our genius, unhamper our enterprise, unfetter our resources. we would soon outstrip England and wrest trom her that commercial distinction which she had won since this poli had confined American prowess to American shores. (Applause.) CONTRADICTS MR. DOCKERY. Mr. Frank (Mo.) denied a statement made by Mr. Dockery to the effect that money had been used to enable the republicans to carry the three St. Louis congressional districts. Not a single dollar had been coutributed to carry his district. The reason the republicans had carried those districts was because for the first time in | twelve years they had had an honest election and a free ballot and an honest count. Mr. Dockery was unable to get the floor to reply, but gave notice that he woula do so when he could obtain recognition, A TREORY AND NOT A CONDITION. Mr. Barrows (Mich,) opened his speech with the declaration that “It isa theory and not a condition which confronts us.” There could be no condition of the Treasury that legislation could uot remove. if it was overtlow- ing with surplus it was necessary only to diminish the supply. If it was de- leted, increased reveuuiv could be farnixhed. The condition of the Trensury today was au overflowing one. What was the remedy? The republicans would reduce the surplus by one theory; the democrats by auother: and i this conflict of theories which had prev: the remedy being applied. It was a theory which prevented the passuge of « tariff bill last Congress. The House was democratic, Senate republican. Each body passed as taritf bill, the effect of which. it was claimed, would be to reduce the revenue to the actual needs of the government, but both n res failed. In the campaign of 1888 the two th ries were presente a to the American people, and after a full debate on platform d in the press a verdict was rendered in favor of the republican theory of taxation verdict su pronounced as to wrest the presidency and th popular branch of Congress from the demo- cratic party and confer them on the republy party. | Applause. To EXECUTE THE POPULAR VERDICT. Inthe measure the committee ou Means presented it had sought to execute the popular verdict thus expressed and to erystal- lize it into law, Ithad been thought that the democratic party would acquiesce and permit the verdict to beexecuted. But the democratic party did not propose to accept the People’s judgment = as_— final. = The democratic party was again m Opposition and the conflict of 1885 was to be re- newed. It was again going before the peop! with an appexl that they reverse their ve of two years ago. The democratic party favored a tariff for revenue; the republican party favored a tariff for revenue and_ pro! not incidental, not accidental, but intentional. HE WHO BELIEVED IN FREE TRADE must support the democratic party and he who believed in protection must sustain the repub- lican party. A tariff bill for revenue only was a step toward free trade and the republican party wus against it. [Applause.] That party did not believe 1 imposing a tariff on foreign products the like of which were not and | could not be produced in this country. All such products ought to be admitted free of daty. On this principle the committee has muteriaily enlarged the free list in its bill. the committee hiad failed to place on the free list a single article of foreign production which could not be produced in this country, it was an error which the committee would be prompt to remedy. If there was an article on the free list the like of which could be produced at home, it was an oversight and would be transterred to the dutiable list. The bill was intended as A MEASURE OF PROTECTION from the enacting clause to the closing para- grapb. [Applause.] If there was asingle pro- vision in it which in its workings would inure tothe benefit of any foreign industry to the detriment of our own such a provision was there by inadvertence and not by design, [Applause.| If there was a section in the bill which would bring disaster to any American industry or paralyze the arm of any laboring man in the United States, such a section was there by accident and not by design. [Applase.} Referring to the subject of tin plate, Mr. Burrows said that the Mills bill put it on thy free list, and the ending bill increased the duty. It was conceded that the United States did not produce « pound of tin plate. The democratic party would so legislate as to make its production here an impossibility for all time to come. and thus not only con- tinue our dependence on loreign countries for this article of prime necessity, but make our thralldom complete and perpetual. ‘Th republicans proposed by # guarantee of amp protection to invite American capital to enter a new field of industry and lay the foundation for the production of our own tin plate. The United States could make its own tin plate. It had the material, skill, genius, and, under this bill, a new industry would spring into life and bring to the Ameri- can people & new source of wealth and to the American workingman a new ficld of labor, LApplause.| mocrats would put wool on the free list and expose American wool growers to ruinous competition with the wools of Australia and South America and reduce the people of this great nation to a dependence on foreign coun- tries for the very clothing on their backs. The Tepublicans proposed an increased safeguard for this great industry and would encourage it until the United States possessed within itself the capacity to supply its own people with this prime article of necessity. |Applause.j ooo DID THE DRY DOCK SETTLE?
