sir. Oosey’e Petition to the teuate age:
Introduces Another nee-lattes.
Wasuisoroa. May lD.-'i‘hers was an-
other turbulent day in the senate. The
“era of business" so long predicted was at
last entered upon after six weeke' general
debate on“ the tarltf. Due amendment—-
thetto levy duty-on goods in bond on the
late when the bill goes into effect-«ea
agreed to. and Mr. lodge'e amendtaentto
levy commercial war on Great Britain un-
til that country should acquiesce in an be
ternational agreement for the coinage “of
silver was defeated. This was not a very
lively pace. as something over 1,000 amend-
ments are wading. but nevertheless it wee
progress. Work on the tariff bill was pro
ceded by a two hours‘ debate upon the Al-
len resolution for the appointment of a
special committee to investigate the ab
Ieged police clubbing outrages on the steps
of the capitol.
Alien Reade Coley'e Petition.
Mr. Allen read at length the petition Mr.
Coxcy sought to read on May 1 and also
the indictment upon which the common-
weal leaders were tried in the police court.
The charges ware insignificant. he said.
' They were merely a subterfuge. There
was not a senator or acitizeu of the United
States, from the Atlantic to the Phcilio.
from Canada to the gulf. who did not know
that the real charge was their attempt to
exercise the constitutional right to assem-
ble and indulge in free speech on the cap-
itol grounds.
The real charge was that they had the
temerity to come with their deluded fol-
lowers to petition congress for the redress
of what they considered their grievances.
It the right of petition was to be denied
on the capitol grounds. if citizens were not
to be allowed to assemble peaceably there.
they could be prevented from assembling
anywhere in the- District of Columbia.
where congress imd original jurisdiction.
More than that. as congress had territorial
jurisdiction all over the country. they
could be prevented from assembling any-
where. '

ey resolution: wentover, .\ir. Aldrich look

When Mr. Aldrich got the floor. he. with
g delicate finesse, succeeded in arousing Mr.
I Mills. the tiery senator from 'l‘exae. lie

He had understated the radical character

These amendments deliberately aban-

‘ and Mr. iioutoilc. who was to closc for the
in”
citeraeat. fiewauted to repel the idea
that he was in any way‘respo’neihie for
what Hr. Aldrich had termed the Demo-
cratic surrender.
A few days ago.he began. he badde-
devli and the see. the McKinley bill

hadoomeoverthe situation. 'He was near

thatthe bill before the senate. as modified
by the amendmeute introduced. bad no re-
semblance to tbeWilaon bill. It ought,
he said. to bear the name of Mr. German
or Mr. Brice. ~
little leaves the liii.
No man, he declared impulsively. could
torture'bin intoan eduiihsion that this
bill was a res use to Democratic pledges.
He had laid at taxation should be levied
upon values: that it was the only just eye-
tetn; that taxation should not be imposed.
an under the specific system of the McKin-
ley bill. so that the goods bf the rich would
eacapet'zithhthe same tax aewae levied
u e c caper articles of the poor.
Tm he had stood, and there he would
continue to eta-d. He rose to say that he
did not intend toyote for a single one of
the amendments carryin a change to spe-
cific duties. it was humfiiating enough to
have to indorse the system of robbery con-
tained in the McKinley bill without how-
ing down in mortitioatiou to accept the
very badges oi pmwction.
The first amendment made the surren-
der. It was motioned throughout the bill
until it was now aqueetiou between the
McKinley bill and a Democratic system of
protection. with very little margin in fa—
vor of the Democratic measure.
- “But I'll vote for it.” said he emphatical-
ly. "I'll vote for it if it contains only a 5
cent reduction of taxation." .
The Democratic party in 1692. he contin—
ued. had declared protection a fraud: had
declared for a tariff for revenue only.
There is where he stood. and he did notin-
tend to go a step backward. He would
have reduced the duties below the point
set in the Wilson bill if he had had the
power. lie would have giveaatill more
raw materials to relieve those who were
coming to Washington to tell of their dis-
tress produced by protection. lie would
vote for the senate bill, but he did not in~
tend to help make it as bad as it could pon—
sibly be. ”I want to file this caveat.” he
continued, "to let the Democrats of the
country understand where I stami. I
would like to ace those who have demand
ed those challgcs. who have forced the
Democrats of the senate to surrender their
platform. to stand out. in the glare of the
daylight and to take the rcslmusibiiity."
A wave of applause swept. over the gel-
lerics when the Texas senator took his
seat. which was quickly checked by Vice
President Stevenson. '
All eyes were turned upon .‘ir. (iorman, E
whom Mr. Mills had specified by name as
mainly responsible for the “concessions."
but the Maryland senator did not move a
muscle.
Mr. llrico was not in the chamber at the
time. The pending amendment was then
agreed to, and Mr. Lodge offered his
amendmcni to impose.donbledutioa in the-
bill against Great Britain until that. conn-
lry should agree to an international ratio i
for the coinage of silver. ’I'liis mneml‘ '
ment. he said, Was oil‘s-rod we something
