MILLS' BILL COES THROUGH, It Passos the Lower House, But by a Very Close Shave. ONLY HAS THIRTEEN MAJORITY. The Galleries Crowded With Specta- tors to Hear the Close of the Great Tariff Debate and Hear the Result. The Long Agony Over. Wasiixarox, July 21.—When the house met this morning the galleries were filled with spectators attracted to the capitol by the announcement that to-day would witness the close of the great tariff debate, and the wvote on the final passage of the Mills bill. Promptly at 11:30 the bill was called up, and Mr. Mills, after offering two amendments intended to correct typographical errors in the bill, moved the previous question on them, and they were adopted. He then proceeded to address the house, beginning by stating the conditions of the finances of the government, placing the surplus at $120,000,000. This, he said, repre- sented the unnecessary taxation drawn from the people and piled up in the treasury. It was taxation levied upon the products of labor. This enormous amount of money was constantly lowering prices and piling an enormous load on labor and increasing the benefits of the privileged classes. The ma- ority had attempted to bring before the ouse a bill to reduce this taxation and lessen the inflow of money into the treasury. By amendments made 'in committee the whol relative rate of duty had been placed at #1209 on the hundred. This moderate bill had been met with a storm of denunciation and characterized as a free trade measure. was #4299 on $100 frec tradet What state had a b per cent rate of taxation? In the ma- Jority of s it did not exceed §1 on $100, Mr. Mills then took up the bill in detail beginning with the chemical sehedule, where the rate duty hasb duced from $32.87 to 28, On earthen and crockery ware the reduction has been £7 on £100. Th lled that free trade. If 252 on $100 taxation was free trade, in God's name what was protec- tion? Sugar showed next to the largest re duction in the bill larger than in hemp, jute, iron and in ything except wool. Yet the bill had been called a s onal measure, To et §6,000,000 of protection on sugar the gov- ernment_had to colleet §58,000,000 of tariff duties. In provisions the reduction was $1 in $100. M free trade. It was less than £1 in cotton goods. Was not that moderate? The duty still remaining at 0.07 in wobls and woolens, the reduction was $20 ou the hundred, and most of thut had been caused by placing wool on the free list. The manu- facturer would get free wool and 40 per cent protection, or 5 per cent more than he now got. And still they said the bill was a free trade measure, Articles amountin t0 £20,000,000 had been placed on fre list and $6,390,000 of that was wool. Cotton had the chief product of this country, yet the republican party had put it on thie free list, and they were right. But when it was proposed to touch wool the combination that made the protective tariff was struck, and they said, “You suall not touch it.” next articie on the free list was tin pla amounting to $7,700,000. Not 4 pound of it was produced in this coun The commit- tee proposed to give this moncy to the con- sumers, yet their action was called free trade. 'Salt was next. Becausea fu were interested in its manufacture, the c mittee were stigmatized as free trador putting it on the free list. Burlap wa made in this country. It had been placed on the free list. Hemp and jute made up $1,- 700,000 of the free list. With all the milk that could be given this baby industry it had failed to grow. It was dying and must soon disappear. The republicans had used the same arguwent in favor of striking down the sugar industry. Opium paid $165,000. 1t had been placed on the free list. Cot- ton ties and bristles, the latter pro- (duced in Russia, had also been placed on the free hst. Yet the committee had ;been taunted with being free traders. Thoir opponents said: “1f you want anything free take a free drink of whisky.” " [Loud ap- plauso). The tuxes on express companies, on tele- phone companics, on ull the wealth of the country have been removed, but none of the taxes on labor had been remaved. Wool grew on the sheep. There has been much sywmpa- thy expressed for sheep, but the democratic party sympathized with men. It wanted chubpclulhiuu for the poor. The republi- cand wanted the duty kept so high that xeither wool nér woolens could be brought in. _With a product of 300,000,000 pounds of wool and a need of 600,000,000 pounds, what were we going to do! The democrats pro- posad to let in wool free and let our work- men make it up into clothing, The bill was intended to benefit the condition and increase tho wages of the laborng people,, The gov- ernment should not meddle with the people "They could take care of fhemselves. They ere the most intelligent and best people in the world, and could give employment to all of tho laborers if congress would but Jet them alone. Why should we not have free raw material and have the opportunity to contest on equal terms with foreign man- ufactures? We wanted a fair field and an open fight, The democratic party intended o appeal to the virtue and intelligence of the country. Money was being poured into his distriet in Texas to beat him for re-election 1o the fifty-first congress, but he wanted the country to know that the people of his dis- trict were not for sale. The committee had reduced the duty on steel rails from $17 to $11 per ton, and again it had been charged that that was an effort to destroy an infant industry. In conclusion, he referred to a suit of clothes produced by Mr. McKinley during his speech. He said he had nothing to take back, He had inquired into it and had found that the $10 suit had cost $4.98. He had heard that that suit was to be gwlogmphml and used in the campaign. o wunted to photograph in the brain of every voter the fact that that $10 suit cost less than 5. We stand here in the fuce of the American people con- tending for the rights of a people who s a:undl‘rcd and wronged; who are appealing congress to do them justice; wii ap- pealing for protection in its best sense and asking congress to e the hand of monop- oly from their pockets and lev them have the proceeds of their owa laber, und, Mr. Chair- man, we will do it ‘A8 Mr. Mills finished he was warmly ap- lauded by his fellow democrats and the gal- erics, all of which were by this time crowded. During his speech Mrs. Cleveland and her mother, Mrs. Folsom, eutered the chamber and took scuats in the front row of the executive galle All the amenduients were agreed to, with the exception of that ou cotton ties, on which Mr. Melomley demanded a yea and nay vote, which was ordered. It resulted—yeds 170, nays 125, and the amendment stands as agreed upon in committec of the whole. Mr. Gear ot Iowa (republican) voted with the demo- crats.

LixcoLy, Neb., July 21.—[Special Telegram to Tne Bee]—The St. Joseph & Grand Island railroad, in its answer to the order of the board of transportation of July 5, rela- tive to distance tariffs, recites that a compli- ance with the order would compel the res vondents to violate the statute, which de- that 1o advance shall be made in the rates, fares and charges which have been es- tablished and published by any common er except after ten day’s public notice, at auy lowering of the rates fixed in the chedules of November 1, 1557, would their rnings so much as to it impossible to pay the oper- ating expenses of the road and the interest on the mortgage debts, thus forcing the road into bankruptey.

No such finding has been recorded and no copy sent to the respondents. Lae respondent is physically unable to comply with the order of the bowrd, putting the formula wto effect July 20, on account of the limited time and the amount of work required. The railroad cannot legally comply with the order because it would raise the rates on certain classes, which cannot be done with- out first giving ten days’ notice. The Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valloy and the Sioux City & Pacific jointly make answer as follows: That the board has .mo jurisdiction, be- cause the order applies also to iter-state wraftic, . That the order is too indefinite and: uncer- tain to command compliance. ‘That the order is illegal in that it would raise rates without the ten days’ notice re- quired by law.

Mr. Rundall was so anxious that'his vote should not be lost at this perilous time that he sent an urgent re. quest through Mr. Sowden to a number of his personal friends who were m favor of the bill, but they all refused to be paired, say ing, that Mr. Mills had placed an injunction upon every friend of the measure to vote for it and to refuse to pair with Mr. Randall. The latter stated to Mr. Sowden that if it was not possible to secure a pait! for him that he would be carried to the hoflse of representatives and would cast his vote against the bill if it him his life. Mr. Hogg of West Virgin demo- crat in favor of the Mills bill, is”a personal friend of the Pennsylvania protectionist, and when he learned that Mr, Randall v anxious to be paired and hud threatened to be carried to the house to vote if he could not secure a pair, he went to Mr. Sowden and told him that he was wiliing to be paired with Mr. Randall. Mr. Hogg met Mr Mills near the cloak room on the democrati side just before the latter took the floor and bout pairing with Mr. Randall he had paired with Mr. as truc, but that inasmuch as he had supportea the Mills bill in every step it liad taken in the house, he felt at perfeet liberty to exercise his own will over his vote in this instunce.
