The house and the president had yesterday thrown down the gauntlet to the senate on the tarifi question, and a pitched battle was expected. An ominous ‘hush was upon the chamber when the president pro tem., Mr. Harris (Tenn), rapped the senate‘to order. Senator Joe Blackburn (Ky. ), in a pink negligee shirt,‘stood, watch in hand, while the chaplain delivered his invoca- tion, looking like a judge at a Kentucky Derby.

He called attention to the difference be- senate. He reviewed the events in the In the senate all was changed. Every Democratic vote was needed to pass a bill. if it was to be passed as a party measure, and the members of the finance committee went heroically to They had accom- Voted For Concessions. He had been one of those who had stood gy of the tarifl bill as it passed the senate, which, unlike the house bill, he declared, contained no menace to ’the industries of the country and had not been framed by men from sparsely settled districts who knew nothing of the great commercial in— terests of the United States. He asserted that the framers of the house bill and a‘ large proportion of the Democratic party Were not tariff reform- ers; they were free traders. Personally, he said, he believed in the theory of free raw materials, but at a time when min- ers were hardly able to keep the wolf from the door, on the heels of the greatest min- ing strike in our history, he didgnot’be- ford to run the risk of strikinngown this vast industry. A broad smile ran round the senate as the New . ersey senator gave The president, in his letter accepting the nomination, had favored not free but freer. raw materials. He proceeded to point made on coal. iron and lead ore and dc- sugar. ' A" majority of 83; in the house rou‘g‘nshou over the Wishes or the repre- sentatives of the sugar ~‘pro'ducing states, and in the face of the president’s protest the chairman of the Ways and means com- mittee proposed to place sugar, raw and refined, on the frée'listdn aseparate bill." ‘ He declared that he should vote for the, resolution, to ;further insist on the senate. amendments. So far as he was concerned,- he should never make another concession.“ He had reached the'limitf he was done. If he Were amember of the conference c0m-" mittec‘,’ he should say to the house: “This is our bill. prepared with infinite labor? and'pains. It is our ultimatum. We will? net recede a hairsbreadth; There is the bill.‘ You can take it or leave it. It must be ' this bill or nothing." , “This. Z’ said the New Jersey senator in conclusion, “is all I have to say, and I trust it will be, considered enough.” Senator "Iiiil Spooks. ' When Mr. Smith concluded, Mr. Hill (Dem., N. Y.) jumped to his feet,.and. being recognized, spoke in part as follows: A theory as well as a condition now confronts us.‘ The theory of the Demo— cratic party is that in the enactment of' tariff legislation free raw materials should always be an essential and conspicuous el- ement. . . * It is our creed that the materials which enter into our manufactures should be. freed from the burden of tariff taxation. The best interests of the manufacturers as well as the consumers of the land demand the recognition of this wise discrimina- tion. . We are committed to this side of the question, and-we cannot retreat, and we cannot retract. We are honorably bound to redeem our professions and our prom- ises. J ustice, geod faith and a decent re- gard fer public sentiment all, require this course. , Until recently I had supposed that there was no dispute upon this question of prin- ciple, but that every Democrat worthy of the name was willing to condedejhat if there was one thing more than another to which the Democratic party was commit- ted it was in favor of the doctrine of ab- solutely free raw materials. The true and honest construction of every Democratic national platform for 12 years past irrevocabiycommits us to this just and reasonable principle. Mr. Hill read the Democratic national platform of 1892 and continued: To repeal the McKinley law in form simply, to ,re-enact it in effect, is keeping this promise to the letter, but breaking it in spirit. The. platform pointed 'with pride and deliberately approved the meas- ures for free iron ore, free lead ore, free coal and free wool, which were'pending in congress at the time of the convention. “He \Vho Buns‘May Road.” The Democratic position was esoplain and is so clear that he who runs may read. If any Democraticjoratorin any~part of the country, forgetting the interests of the whole land and subserving the supposed interests of a locality. promised the people of any state or section that there would be any exception made to the enforcement of the general principle of free raw ma- terials when the Democrats should obtain power, he exceeded his authority and mis- interpreted our position. It is said by some in justification of or excuse for their present action that the president’s letter of acceptance in 1892 modified the extreme demands of our plat- form. It is true that some portions of his letter may tend to bear that construction It was not that hold, ringing and explicit declaration in favor of the platform which his party had a right to expect, but was regarded by many as timid, cautious and conservative, but whether this criticism is or is not well founded the fact remains that he had no power or authority to change or alter one line or sentence or provision of the national platform which had been deliberately adopted in national convention duly assembled. No president can be above his party; no president can dictate to his party; no president can change his party platform. ’ But no matter what idea it may be claimed was intended to be conveyed in his letter of acceptance in mitigation or mod- ification of the platform, there can be no doubt as to the president’s position at this time upon this essential principle of free raw materials. Let me read from that re- markable letter of the president which was yesterday submitted to the house of representatives. It expresses better than I can hope to do the true, sound and logical position of the Democratic party upon this question. ‘ Compliment “With a Sting. After reading extracts from this letter Mr. Hill went on as follows: Mr. President, I approve every word that I have quoted. It is an honest and fnanly statement of the true attitude which the party should assume in this crisis. I am not required to defend the propriety or wisdom of the promulgation of this letter at this peculiar time. It may have been indiscrcet, it may operate as a firebrand to spread the flames of discord already kindled among party friends, hon- estly difiering, as I am disposed'to con- cede, upon questions of public and party policy. It may widen the breach already existing in this senate, and in that view it may be regarded as unfortunate and ill advised. It was a time for diplomacy, statesmanship and conciliation rather than recrimination, denunciation and ar- raignment. But, aside from the question of its more expediency, I am here to de- fend the president’s letter in so far as it demands that the party shall not be led astray into the violation of Democratic pledges and principles. , Upon the question of free raw materials the president is right, and you know it. You cannot answer his arguments. _You cannot successfully dispute his proposi- tions. You cannot doubt his sincerity and patriotism. You must yield in the end to his views. You cannot stand up against the sentiment of the great Democratic masses, of the country which will rally around- the president in his contest with you 'upon this particular branch of the subject. , _ “The Time to Yilld is Now.” 3, ." The time to .yield is now, before there are further humiliation, embarrassment and discord. - " ~ , Presideht,-..;hav.ing demonstrated that}. gtr‘ue Democratic theory of revenue reform requires that free raw materials should be its distinguishing feature, let us next inquire whatdfi the-condition which now confronts us, "~1‘r. f “Equal and Exact Justice to all Men of Whatever State or Persuasion, Religious or Political.”e—Jefaraou. Norwalk, Gonna Saturday Evening, July 21, 1894. Vialatesthls Democratic theory, and, while it reduces theduty on iron, coal, lead and some other raw materials from those im- posed under the McKinley law and in that respect is commendable, it nevertheless imposes some duties thereon and thereby fails to redeem our pledges. It is not a question of the amount of duties which may be imposed—a question of principle is involved, and a single penny’s duty vi- olates our promises and places us in a false position. As the president well says, there can be no compromise on a matter of this character, where a vital principle is at stake. ' . The house of representatives, fresh from the people, which represents more dis- tinctly and peculiarly than we do the tax- ing power of the people, repudiates our bill, and a Democratic' president has em- phasized that repudiation, and the condi- tion which confronts us is one of extreme embarrassment Shall we retreat or ad‘ vance? Shall- we surrender to the house while we can do so honorably, or shall we wait until we are driven to it? “The House Cannot Retreat.” ' In the light of the letter of the president the house cannot honorably retreat. It has no other alternative except to insist once its bill wherein it provides for free raw materials. The president cannot ap- prove the senate bill- after what he has said in this remarkable letter. . He arraign's the senate and intimates that the enactment of the senate bill, means “party- perfidy and party dishon— or.” president of . the United States Would net use toward a measure which he ever ex- pected afterward to approve. This letter, unusual and unprecedented in its character and method of promulga- tion though it maybe, nevertheless clear- ly foreshadows a veto of the. senate bill, Iven if the house should finally concur in our amendments. « What person would Expect the president to approve the senate bill after its vigorous and scathing denun- ciation contained in his letter? You would think less of him for his glaring incon- sistency. No, this letter is significant. It is a bold, vigorous, even if imprudent. letter. IIt means war to the knife against the sen- ate bill. It justifies. much that has been said against the senate hill during all the last three months. It means that it can never receive executive approval. It means that the senate cannot be permitted to abandon or surrender the great underly- ing principles for which we struggled and lost in 1888 and fought and won in 1892-. The president is right. There is no mid- dle ground which we can occupy. No bill which does not provide for free raw mate- rials can be permitted to become a law. Raw Materials. ’ It is unnecessary to enter into any ar- gument to define or designate what arti- cles constitute raw material. Every Dem- ocrat knoWs what they are. ‘ Any article may be considered raw material when it is in the lowest or crudest form in which it enters into commerce. That definition is ample and sufficient and will redeem our pledges if it is honestly applied; The party platform was for free, not freer. raw materials, as is now ingeniously contend— ed. . . If the president in his wisdom had seen fit while the debate was progressing in the senate to have aided my efforts to se- cure adhesion to this principle by express- ing his views in favor thereof in some proper and' legitimate way, I should have been gratified, and it unquestionably would have been of practical benefit to the cause. 'I rejoice that he has expressed them even now, although I am not re- quired to defend the manner and form of their presentation even if they required defense, which I do not assume. I respectfully differ from the president in his assumptidn that a tax upon sugar is necessary at this finie, conceding that an income tax is to be retained. Clearly both are not needed» for any legitimate purposes of the treasury. The president speaks of the “Democratic principle and policy which lead to the taxation of . sug- ar." He asserts that in the taxation of sugar “we are in no danger of running counter to Democratic principle. ” Points In Mr. Hill's Speech. When ' Mr. Hill in the course of his speech declared that it was a principle of the Democratic party'io have free raw ma- terials, Mr. Sherman (Rep. 0.) arose and asked when that doctrine was enunciated. Mr. Hill replied that if the senator from Ohio ’would content himself patiently he (Hill) would call a distinguished wlt~ ness in the Democratic‘party. ' Mr. Hill's opening sentence, .“It is a theory that now confronts us—not a con- dition, ” was greeted with hearty laughter, which caused the chair to admonish the ,galleries. While he was speaking of free coal and free iron Mr. Pugh (Dem. , Ala.) created a sensation by asking Mr. Hill who owued the coal and iron ore which he (Hill) and the‘president desired should be placed on the free’list. _ .. 7 “I do not know, ” replied Mr. Hill em- phatically. “I know to what the senator probably refers, and it may be broughtout in this debate. I do not know who own the coal andiron mines whose coal would come in free. I do not care. It makes no difference.” Mr. Hill, after his declaration in favor of free sugar, proceeded to. say that the free sugar clause in the tariff bill had been universally indorsed by the Democrats of the country. He read from a dispatch from Evansville, Ind., which stated that acongressional convention had denounced Hill, Brice and German as the Benedict Arnolds of the Democratic party for ops posing free sugar. denied abSolutely the truth of the dispatch, on the strength of information given him by Congressman Taylor of Indiana, who was on the floor.

Yet now he denounced freer raw materials as perfidy and dishonor. In scathing tones he arraigned the president. He had been his friend, he said in: thunderous tones; he had defended him on the floor of the senate when his friends could have been counted on the fingers of one hand. Where did the president get the right to dictate to congress, to denounce one branch of con- gress to the other? Did he embody in his single being‘all the Democracy, all the tar- ifl reform sentiment, in this ccuntry?‘/Mr. Cleveland was abignman. Butthe Demo- cratic party was greater than any one man.

The attendance in the house was light today, many members deserting to the senate to listen to the tariff debate. .

It had been stated that a man answering his description had the original order in his possession. He supposed that he was the man meant. A representative of the paper in question, Mr. Derickson testified, had called on him for information, and. he had refused to say anything to him.
