A DUAL DAY IN SENATE Still Struggling Along With the Vari- ous Tariff Schedules. HALE AGAINST LOBBYISTS. Maine Senator Wants Privileges of the Floor Further Safeguarded—A Rep- resentative’s Death Causes the House to Adjourn. Washington, June 25.——On the opening of the senate today there was a mild passage between Mr. Platt (N. Y.) and Mr. Allen (Neb.). 'The former desired to place in The Record a petition from the Manufacturers’ Association of Brooklyn for the speedy passage of the tariff bill. Mr. Allen objected to having peti- tions go into The Record unless from a ‘ state legislature or executive depart— ment. Mr. Platt thereupon accomplished his purpose by reading the petition as a part of his remarks. Mr. Hale (Me.)' then came forward with a surprise in the form of a pro— posed amendment to the senate rules admitting to the privileges of the floor of the senate only eat-senators “who are not interested in any claim; or in the prosecution of the same, or directly in any bill pending before congress.” Add- ed to the text of the proposed change is the following: “The purpose of the proposed amendment is to prevent ex- senators from enjoying the privileges of the floor of the senate for the purpose of urging or opposing claims or bills in which they are employed as attorneys.” Mr. Hale stated that it was a matter of satisfaction to renew the acquaint~ ance and the association of senators who had been members of the body, but he did not think it was compatible with the dignity of the senate that the privi- leges of the floor should be used by gen- tlemen interested in pending legisla- tion. If there were those to whom it did not apply, it would do no harm, but, he feared, there were those to whom it did apply. He thought he had observed enough to justify calling attention to the subject. Mr. Hawley suggested that there might be some objection to any pointing out of ex-senators, and Mr. Allen asked what had taken place in recent days to call attention to the subject. Mr. IHale asked that he be not re— quested to particularize. ‘ Mr. Allen's Idea. Mr. Allen declared that there had been no more lobbying of late than there had been for years. At one time he had introduced a bill making it a crime to come on the capitol grounds with a View to lobbying on pending measures. It was at a time when the pooling bill and other measures were bringing lobbyists from all parts of the country. W'hy not make it a crime, covering all lobbyists? he asked. Mr. Hale explained that he was not seeking any such drastic measure. He desired only 10 call the attention of the senate to the desirability of being re— lieved from lobbying on the floor. He regarded the importunities of lobbyists of little avail to the interests they repre- sented, and he regarded it as unfortu— nate that ex—senators should be seen on the floor carrying their papers relat- ing to pending questions. Mr. Allen again asserted that lobby— ists crowded the corridors and galleries like crows in the trees. The proposed amendment finally went over, Mr. Hale stating that he would ask tomorrow that the amendment be referred to the committee on rules. The consideration of the wool schedule of the tariff bill was then resumed, and Mr. Vest (Mo) asked Mr. Allison to in- dicate what was to be the programme for the future handling of the bill. Mr. Allison replied that it was the purpose to Complete the wool schedule, then silk, then tobacco. When that was done, the bill would have been gone over once with some excepted para- graphs such as lead, hides, etc. The purpose then was to begin with the chemical schedule and consider in order such paragraphs as had been passed over. Mr. Smith (N. J.) desired that the paragraph on hides be taken up after the wool schedule, for the purpose of making a speech, and Mr. Allison stated that an understanding on that point might be reached later in the day. Mr. Caffery (La.) was then recognized for a speech on the general subject of the course of legislation. particularly on the tariff to restrict individual effort and to build up giant industries. Mr. Cail‘ery's Speech. He reviewed the economic views of our early statesmen to show the gradual extension of the protective policy far beyond the expectations of Hamilton, Jackson, Madison and Clay. Referring to the recent course of sev- eral Democratic senators Mr. Caffery said: we hear senators on this floor belonging to the Democratic party stating four propositions—first, that the doctrine of free raw material is not Democratic; <e-::c.nd, that if one article is dutied, all ougxbt to be; third, that if protection ’s ~ pg the rounds Demo- crats miglu. all get the benefits of it by askirr 1. protected in home in— dustries; I but there is no prin- ciple invoin . a tariff bill, but it is a mere questio;. .z‘ schedules.” Mr. Caffery examined each of these propositions. pointing out what he re- garded as their fallacies and said: “Pre- cedent and principle alike refute these propositions. Veteran Democrats who were born and who will die with true Democratic faith in their minds .and hearts repudiate them. They look upon them as an effort to crucify their creed. And like the Christian who embraces the image of his crucified Saviour as the last hour Of mortality approaches, so will they embrace and cling tb, with a love and faith which no sophistry can destroy and no temptation betray, the ancient doctrine of tariff for revenue only as the nearest approach to that free trade hoped for by the Democratic party. Is it possible that we denounce plunder only to join the plunderers?” “Tariff For Revenue Only.” The senator declared that "tariff for revenue only” is a tenet of Democracy as deeply grounded as the decalogue. The Democratic tariff policy was that any contribution wrung from the people for protection and not for revenue was extortion and robbery. Was it not rob- bery, then, when this woolen schedtile places 90 per cent on the wearer of a hat or a coat more than he should pay; when a. poor man pays 50 to 110 per cent “Sir, *— WE ' J- on the pane of glass in his windows; when a poor woman pays 90 per' cent more than she should for a tablecloth in order to enrich the manufacturer? Concerning sugar, Mr. Caffery said that under the “free breakfast table” “orgy raised by the Republican party in 1890 sugar, though a favorable article for. Democratic revenue, was denied a tariff. The Republicans now want a revenue to "stave off silver and ad- vance beets and not to protect sugar in Louisiana.” It had been admitted that the duty was for the purpose of protecting beet sugar and not cane su- gar. When the time comes, if it ever comes, when the protection of sugar fails to produce revenue, what will be- come of the sugar interest? Will it be corralled, like the manufacturers, surrounded by a wall of protection, or will the free breakfast table cry be re- newed? The senator said, “The sugar barons and other barons may feast for a time, but the handwriting on the wall is disclosed." Short Session of the House. An air of gloom pervaded the house today, owing to the death of Mr. Cooke of Illinois. He was very popular with his colleagues, and his untimely death was a severe shock to them. The desk which he occupied on the extreme right of the hall was draped in mourn- ing and covered with white roses and magnolia blossoms. The blind chap— lain in his invocation referred feelingly to Mr. Cooke’s death as a great public calamity. After reading the journal, the speaker announced the reception of an invita- tion from the president of the Belgian chamber of deputies to the members of the house to attend the international parliamentary conference in favor of arbitration, which commences Aug. 6. Mr. Foss of Illinois, on behalf of the delegation, then announced the sad news of the death of his colleague, Mr. Cooke. He gave notice that at some future time he would ask the house to pay tribute to the character and public services of Mr. Cooke. The customary resolutions were adopted, and a committee to attend the funeral was appointed consisting of the following members: Messrs. Foss, Prince, Belknap of Illinois, Moody of Massachusetts, Updegraff of Iowa, Royce of Indiana, Bailey of Texas, Hunter of Illinois and Dinsmore of Arkansas. Then, as a further mark of respect to the memory of the deceased, the house adjourned until Monday. Death of a. Representative. Washington, June 25.—Representative Edward Dean Cooke of Chicago dropped dead, at his hotel, of heart disease. Mr. Cooke was born in 1849 and was a grad- uate in law of the Columbia university. He was admitted to the bar in 1873. He was elected to the Fifty-fourth congress and re-elected to the Fifty-fifth con- gress as a Republican. \Vant Beer Tax Let Alone.
