Washington January W Heforc tho
bouse reoo ved Itself Into a committee of
the whole on tho tariff bill Mr Cummins
chairman of the committee on navtl af
fairs atose nnd asked unanimous con-
sent to consider the Baulello resolution
reported back from the nnval committee
Dry in of Nebraska
Afier the completion of Mr ollpklns
remark Mr Johnson took the floor
Tom I Johnson of Ohio freo trader
and single tax advocate followed with it
speech In wllch he spoke In 1 stnitlkig
manner from tho outset as follows
We of the democratic party went be-
fore this country In 1S92 tsserting that the
existing tariff was wrong In principle and
unjust in operation declaring the policy
of protection a frtud and robbery charg-
ing It with creating rusts throttling In-
dustry causing Inforced idleness lessen-
ing wage impovlshlng laber and creating
a few monstrous fortunes and pledging
ourselves to nbollsh it If American people
gave u the authority They did give us
authority and our hn > tn to repeal the op
pioMlve tnes svbsldcd nnd Instead of
fiyng nt the throat of the protected bar
rons In the robber trusts the great dem-
ocratic party began as It wore to wjg
Its tall and look for crumbs It wa the
duty of the party coining to power on
such pledge nnd nt such a Juncture to
have proceeded without a moments de-
lay to a radical revision of the tarltf
If Mr Cleteland had shown the sagacity
and courage the slluut > tm demanded
the Ink woud not have been dry on tho
commissions of his Hecrotniics and con
giess woud hate been called Into extra
session to lellcvc the counry of Its bur-
dens of taxation but Instead of that we
pioceeded to rest on our laurels and
divide the spoils and the nitlon was
tiented to the spectacle of a preshli nt
and congress having the power to remove
the crushing burdens devoting their rn
orgles to the discussion of personal claims
to petty places As the climax of all this
delay came the shameful days wo have
Just passed through in which the houso
has stood pamlyzed because despite our
overwhelming majority we democrats
would neither furnish 11 quorum to be
counted nor count one that win really
present It Is not merely that we have yet
done nothing It Is thnt we lrnto nothing
to show wheie wo promised much
The worst possible situation of business
Is not that of th high tariff but that of
the high tariff threatened with certain
but indefinite reductions This Is the situ-
ation our delay has for a year Imposed
upon the country Up to the present
thunks lo our Inaction the victory of tho
democratic parly In November 3S92 has
worked evil for good
The McKuiley tariff still exerts Its
strangling powers nnd worte than the
McKlnley tarlfT Is thp depressing effect of
the uncertainty as to what tariff will sue
reed It
He commended Iho bill for the blow at
the sugar trust but he added Ihat the
whisky trust nnd the steel rill trust cord-
age trust and bicycle trust nnd staicll
trust In short tho whole brood of vam
pires which rob the people through the
agency of the government by means of
the tin Iff uie left free to pluck the tariff
bound American consumer
He spoke of steel rulls of which ho Is
ono or the largest manufacturers in the
country Ti 10 present duty of 13H Is equal
to 0 per cent Tho reduction of the com-
mittee Is IS per cent It seemed like a
large reduction he declared but It left
all the sicel trust needed It 1 as good
to them ns 10W per cent for It Is practic-
ally n prohibitory duty Hteel can be mado
hero as cheaply us anywhere eUe In the
world and would not now be Imported
savo In exceptional cases even if thero
were no duty While the tendency of In-
vention nnd Improvement Is in favor of
the United States ax ugnlunt llurope the
steel rnado Into rnlli In Ihls country Is
from native ore What pig metal billets
or blooms are Imported nrc used entirely
In other Iron antl steel manufactures
Now It costs less than K a ton to make
steel rails from blooms Including
straightening and punching In todays
market steel blooms sell for less than
Jl find steel rails bhould not bring over
Jl They did fall nearly to that prlco
a few weeks ago during the temporary
brenk in the steel rail pool but the pool
was quickly icoignnlzed nt Kt a ton so
that by virtue of the duty which keeps
out foreign ralU the pool Is compelling

tariff on the first of February 1 do not
believe thoru Is n slnttle manufacturing in-

which placed the of licet s men and ships
of the United States navy under control
of Commissioner Iilount a civilian who
had not been eonflimed by tho tcnate
The attempt to secure unanimous con-
sideration of thl resolution raised another
merry row which concluded with mother
verbal duel between Mr Boutelle und the
speaker During the war of words Mr
Ttacy of New York asked the chilr
whether It would be In order to call for
the regular order
Oh the White llouso clock has not
struck this moinng Interposed Mr Ilou
te e sarcastically
Mr Traos check lamed He Inquired
hotly whether a member while making
pjtllamentary Inquiry could be affronted
and culled attention to the fact that on
another occasion a gentleman Mr Wilson
of Washington had shouted cuckoo
while be was talking
Mr ISoutelle disclaimed any Intention
of lnsutlng his colleague ond the chair
said that In courtesy he was giving Mr
lloutello a hearing
Mr Tracy took Ins seat still chafing
and declaring to his frlonds about him that
he would not stand this sort of treatment
any longer
The next man who says anything of
that kind he declared will get his face
slapped
The tirlff detntc was resumed Mr Hop
Una of Illinois continuing his remarks of
to tho laborer and the masses of our peo
ple would want and could i > ay for manu
fMctuied goods You can not depress In-
dustry and Impoverish lalmr by remitting
taxes that Is done by Imposing taxes
Thi > bill be would pass he said would
consist of throe sections
Section 1 All Import duties nnd corres-
ponding Internal levenue duties are here-
by abolished nnd nil officials engaged In
collecting ouch duties aro hereby dis-
charged
Section 2 The secretaiy of the treas-
ury Is hereby directed to sell all the cus-
tom house and revenue cuttets and pay
tho proceeds Into the treasury
Section 3 This net shall take effect Im
Immediately
Such a bill would excite no more pro-
tectionist opposition than this poor tlmld
Utile Wilson bill will Put It would not
be snered at and It would have a mighty
Mippoit that this bill can not get
Mr Dnlrell said tho election of lSEtt
which resulted in the ascendency of tho
democratic patty In all branches of the
government had no sootier occurred than a
crisis ensued nmonsst themost appalling
In rur economic history All industries
suffered Immediate collapse trade for-
eign and domestic became paralyzed the
ghost of distrust stalked threateningly In
nil the avenues of commerce nnd fear
fell on nil men rich and poor nllke As
a people wo walk todoy In the valley
The furnace ne i avebn
of Ue lat on
yesterday under running fire of questions
out und the fires the humble
fiom Mr Coombs of New York ond Mr
put upon
hearths as well while throughout nil our
borders factoiles nnd workshops and nii
otis Implements and appliances of Industry
remain Idle nnd unused
In the few months the dominant party
has held the lclns of government It lias
proved Itbclt conspicuously Incompe ent
to deal with n single lmi rtant question
presented by the responsibility of tho civil
administration
The executive with nn Ignorance 011
tho ilmltutloii3 of the office Inexcusable
in nn intelligent citizen has usurped the
functions of congiess not to meet any ex-
igency or for any Justifiable end but
to undertake and miserably fall In a
foreign policy which would be grotesque If
It were not contemptible A turlff bill has
been presented that It enacted 1 picdlct
positively will be pronounced tho most In-
famous legislation of our history Instead
of relief It brings aggravations To the
manufactuier whose idle capital Is bring-
ing him no return whose plant disused Is
depreciating and whose Income has been
scattered nan owed or entirely cut off It
offers lte dcceplite lure of free raw mo-
tet Inls while It Btrlps him of all ability to
compete In any market
To the farmer It offers Instead of pro-
tection nil enlarged competition from
abroad In the product of his farm In-
stead of a vast and growing home mirket
a market abroad In which his l < icrci el
surplus can not but demuraliu prices
To the cry of the laboring man crjlng
for work nt American wage rales to
the end thnt he his wire nnd his children
shall live like Americans Its brutal answer
Is lower wages or war with your employ-
ers and for Uie empty treasury d pl ted
beyond the power to meet current ex-
penses what relief Oh shame to tell It
further depletion by reducing the Na-
tional revenues from JTOOOOOOO to HOOOOO
000 per annum To he made up how Jly an
Issue of bonds In time of peace by laying
on the backs of the American people
now of nil times the least able to bear
them direct taxes never heretofore In all
our experlenco sought to be Justified save
In time of war K this bill were wise in Its
provisions its enactment nt this time
would be unwise
Ho held that the duty on coffee nnd
sugar weie sure sources of revenue an
that the exemption of the poor mans
brfwkfast table would not compensate him
from the deprivation to labor under such
eondltloiis so as to cam American wages
There was not a single Industry In which
we cime In conilietlllon with rareigners
with wlilcll our laliorcrs did not recclte
higher pay that nny thoughtful person
who reud the schedule of the bill could
not fnll of conviction that It was American
lalmr that was being legislated upon and
to Its detriment
The other speakers were Mr Woomer
of Pennsylvania and Mr Coombs of Now
York
When the littcr closed the house nt

At the night seselon of the house Mr
Knodgrass of Tennessee Mr Mason of

Mr Peffer complained that theie Is un-
reasonable deluy in beginning the con-
struction of the public building nt Sallna
Kuu The appropriation has uetn made
four or five yea nnd yet the plans have
not been l egun
Mr Uorman said that the trouble was
that congiess hud made appreciations
for mate public buildings within the last
few years than It lias been physically
possible to construct
The appropilntlons or the government
during the past three years had exceeded
by over tWOOOW the total revenues of
tho 1 ovemment
Mr Call thought that It was Important
that all public buildings to be constructed
should bo iKtain as soon us possible in

ator After the constitution of 1SS7 was

llsings and occasional bloodshed He In-
sisted tiiat the evidence contained in

conclusion of the commissioner its n mat-
ter of fact sustained the position of llx
Mlnlster Stevens In the revolution of
1SS9 the woman afterwards nuecn now
the pretended queen of Hawaii was the
prime mover Tills revolution was to
overthrow her own btother Her iccord
shows that she has violated pledges und
oaths nnd timt no reliance can be placed
In her assurance
The testimony Is concurred In snld
Mr Davis Unit the t evolutionist did not
rely on the United States troops or tho

nnd that they were enabled to take wire
