James B, Reilly was nominated for Congress Monday by the democrats of the thirteenth Pennsylvania district, Defended in the Senate by Mr. Mor- rill Today, SENATE TO MEET AT 10 A. Mr. Cockrell Defends the Senate Minority From Criticism. DISTRICT APPROPRIATIONS IN HOUSE. SENATE. Mr. Hoar presented a memorial of the North Carolina Republican Association of the District of Columbia in favor of the passage of the national election bill, Mr. Vest presented a memorial of the Wage Workers’ Alliance of the District of Columbia denouncing the bankrupt law. THE MEXICAN BOUNDARY LINE. Mr. Sherman offered an amendment to the deficiency appropriation bill (which was re- ferred to the committee on appropriations) ap- propristing 50,000 for marking the boundary iné between the United States and Mexico, and called attention to its urgency. WAY MB, COCKRELL FAVORS MERTING AT 10 a.m. The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Sherman fixing the daily hour of meeting at 10 €.m, was taken up.” Mr. Cockrell said that he would support the resolution, and wanted to give @ few reasons why. Some taunts had been made recently by the Senators from Rhode Island and Maine (Aldrich and Frye) about delay on the part of the democratic minority, and the Senator from Maine had said something about having the soaps question introduced in the Senate, le wanted those Senators to see the RELATIVE AMOUNT OF WORK DONE IN THE TWO HOUSES. The Senate had, up to the 28th of July, passed 946 bills, and 499 other bills had been acted on by committees and been indefinitely postponed, making the whole number of Sen- ate bills actually disposed of 1,445. That was considerably more than one-third of all the bills introduced in the Nenate. No such record had ever been made before. The House, out of over 10,000 bills introduced. had passed $65, a mere fraction of the whole. Out of all the Sonate bills passed the House had only passed 231, while of the House bills the Senate bad passed 618. On the House calendar of bills pending in committee of the whole there were 381, of which 103 were Senate bills, while there were pending in the House 1,718 public bills, including 23 Senate bills, and 967 private bills, including 187 Senate bills. Then there were on the calendar of unfinished business 98 cases pending, of which $1 were Senate bills, That made a total of 1,617 cases pending be- fore the House, of which 344 were Senate bills, On the Senate calendar there were but 309 cases all told, of which oniy 61 were House bills. There were 344 Senate bills (acted on by House committees) now on the House cal- endar, with the iron heel of the one-man power securely resting on that calendar, THE MINORITY OF THE SENATE DEFENDED How (he asked) had so much work been done in the Senate? Had the minority been wasting time by interposing objections or by unneces- sary production? Had the minority consumed time (as the majority had done under the last administration) in criticising the executive or in pleading the civil service aw to prevent the removal of democratic officials betore the end of their terms of office? Nothing of the kind, Had not the bills for the admission of Idaho and Wyoming as states been allowed by the minority to pass? Although every one knew that neither of them had sufficient population to entitle it to a Representative in the House, those bills had only passed through the inconceivable for- bearance and conservatism of the democratic minority, And yet democrats were criticised the moment they wanted a little explanation and a little light on the tariff bill. Ifthere was a democratic majority in the Senate and had it made an attempt to pass the bills for the admission of New Mexico and Ar. zona ag states the Senator from Maine (Mr. Frye) would have pranced up and down the center aisle and the Senator from Vermont Mr. Edmunds) would have raised his voice, ‘hey would have roared like caged lions and screamed like chained hyenas [laughter] against the action of the democratic majority, Way, he asked, had not the House disposed of more bills than it had disposedof? ‘Ihe reason was that it ignored in its organization and in its changed rules the fundamental principles of parliamentary discussion. REPRESENTATIVE REED QUOTED AGAINST SPEAKER REED. He quoted from a letter written by Mr. Thos, B. Reed in June, 1886, and published in the autauquan, It would be remembered (he said) that Mr. Reed was once a member of the House of Representatives. One of the sen- tences in that “remarkable production” was in these words: “*A fuil, free, frank discussion is the very life of intelligent action,” Another sentence was: ‘Needless suppres- sion of discussion is tyrannic whether done by aking or a majority.” He challenged any re- publican Senator to show au instance where the democratic mmority had attempted any unnecessary delay. Democratic Seuators had been in their seats when the Senator from Maine (Mr. Frye) was enjoying the refreshing breezes o; the lakes of his native state, aud when the Senator from Vermont (Mr. Ed- monds) was also rusticating, ‘Lhe Senator from New York (Mr, Hiscock) had stated yesterday that THE BEPUBLICANS HAD CAPTURED THE RATS, If the democrats were captives they would stick the closer to their capters. They would come to the chamber at 10 in the morning, but they would expect republican Senators to come too, and they would till 6 in the evening and facil- itate the transaction of business if they were treated ag a decent, respectable minority ought to be. ‘The resolution was then agreed to, MR, MOI ILL FOR THE TARIFF BILL. The tariff bill was taken up and Mr, Morrill addressed the Senate. Party discipline, he said, appeared to compel free-trade democratic Senators to assail the tariff bill with all the an- cient stock of vituperative epithets, His calm and lient friend (Mr. McPherson), whose state so much indebted to tariff protection for its atter giving the bill a death blow wech came in fresh every day to add another blow as punishment atter death, He (Mr. Morrill) had hoped not to contribute to any consumption of time, but as some Sen- ators on the other side seemed to be provoked at the silence on his side of the chamber he would claim a short time and try not to thresh any of the old straw of tariff debates. AMERICAN GOLD FOR ENGLISH TIN, ‘The bill offered in several instances (conspic- uously in that of tin) an increase of duties for the purpose of giving employment to larger numbers of laboring men and for the purpose ot keeping at home many willions of money now sent abroad. ‘Yhis country had the tin ore, the iron and the coal, and why then should it’ an- nually send abroad twenty-eight millions in gold for tin? He had no idea that the increased duty would cause much, if any, increase in the cost of sheet tim, and be felt assured that inno long time after the law took effect tin would be much lower in price than itever had been, Protection would serve, as in the case of Bes- semer steel, to cheapen the article vastly, MR. VORHEES ACCUSED OF MISREPRESENTATION, Referring to the assertion in Mr. Voorhees’ speech that none of the war taxes or auy of the great staples of human neces- sity had ever been repealed or lowered, Mr. Morrill§said that that Senator ought not DEMO- to have given his name to such misrepresen- tation of the facts, There had been a goneral reduction in 1870 when there war a new classi- fication of duties on sugar and # removal of the duties on tea and coffee. By adding to the fi list of last year the articles which nding bill placed on the free list about one-half the importations from foreign coun- tries would be absolutely free from all customs uuties, That meant that the dutiabie importa- tions would be diminished from $485,000,000 to ‘€876,000,000, and that those on the free list Would be increased to $365,500.000. If the rate of duty covered the entire importations the average rate would be 27 per cent. ‘BIOH DUTIES ON ARTICLES OF LUXURY. As there was so large an amount of importa- tions exempt from duty it was necessary to M. | mpore higher duties on articles of Iuxury and foreign fashions that required skilled labor and that were consumed by those who were able to support the burden. High as the customs duties appeared to be they had not, and would not, shut out the foreign merchandise’ of nations where labor commanded much less wages than itdid in the United States; nor would they shut out the fact that the American people tee obtained general merchandise at less cos THE ILL-KATURED DENUNCIATIONS OF AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS by oratorical free traders indicated that they preferred the prosperity of the foreign manu- facturer to that of their own coun- tryman, and that they would com- pel the latter to manufacture as cheaply 4s any foreigner, pay no higher wages or abandon their business. The real purpose was finally to break down and degrade the present scale of wages of American workmen. He uoted from Sir Charles Dilke's -‘Problems of Greater Britain,” to the wages in Canada, Australia and the that was the sober, historical TESTIMONY OF AN ENGLISH FREE TRADER, that American wages were 100 per cent higher, for less time, than in Great Britain, and that it followed that the difference was much greater when contrasted with the wages current on the continent of Europe. The lever- age (Mr. Morrill continued) that lifted up protection was not really the demand of the manufacturers, but that of their workmen. Coming to the question of agricultural de- pression Mr. Morrill said that there was A GLUT OF MISINFORMATION disseminated on that subject and a conceal- ment of the fact that prices of farm products are depressed throughout the world, The only possible remedy within reach of the American farmer was positive protection against the foreiyn competition and «1 en- couragement to other avocations as would ip- crease the consumers of their products. He as- sorted that in 1888 had it not been for the duty of 20 cents a bushel on wheat the wheat of India would have snatched the market of New York from the state of Wisconsin as well as from all other western states. There were some political pessimists, Mr. Morrill went on to say, who croaked abou! hard times and ignored THE GENERAL PROSPERITY EVERYWHERE AP- PARENT. Admitting that the present condition of farm- ers was not as good as it ought to be, nor as good as he hoped it would be, he should at- tempt to show conclusively the great causes of the present —_ world-wide depression of their —_ interests. ‘It was said by such pessimists that farmers were oppressed by @ vast increase of mortgages. That was certainly not true in the older states, where, whatever mortgages existed, were held largely by other forehanded farmers. The bulk of the mortgages were due, especially in the younger states, from young men who wore just setting out in life and who had not sufti- cient capital to pay cash down for a fuir-sized farm. FARM MORTGAGE INDEBTEDNESS had been exaggerated, and he understood that the census reports would show that farm mort- gages in Kansas and Maine were less than one- quarter of the amount which had been repre- seuted. The NewYork Times had stated that farm mortgages of Hlinois amounted to $620, 000,000. The St. Louis Republic had given the amonnt as $3,000,000,000. But the Mlinois bureau of statistics gave the amount (outside of Cook county, which included Chicago), at $123,733,098. These were only examp! he said, of the STUPENDOUS FALSEROODS with which the public had been dosed. The charge that American farmers were hugely in debt, or were more so than the farmers of any other conutry, was a gross calumny, and the farmers would treat with con- tempt the crocodile tears of pity shed in their behalZ by revenue reformers, who peddled out such defamatory tales. The markets, Mr. Morrill continued, which could not be found abroad had to be made at home,and they could only be made by protection. Whatever pro- ducts could be made by machinery might some time find a market abroad, but cattle and wool, wheat and corn were not made by machinery, and a greater market would have to be created for such products by # greater diversity of in- dustrial employments, and,with the abounding mineral resources of the United States, the task would not appear difficult.
