WASHINGTON, July 21.—Crowds such
as had not thronged the senate in months
packed the galleries today. 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-

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

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 .yield is now, before there
are further humiliation, embarrassment
and discord. - " ~

should be its distinguishing feature, let

which now confronts us,

“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. Sharp words between
Mr. Hill and Mr. Voorhees followed.

Mr.‘ Vest (Donn, Mo.) took thc floor
when Mr. Hill sat down. 'After the speech

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

ifl reform sentiment, in this ccuntry?‘/Mr.

that his firm never placed any order for

He also__stated that he had volunteered
to come before the committee because of a
publication in a New York paper of a
few days ago, which, while his name had
not been given, had so described him as
to make it appear that he had received or-
ders for the purchase of sugar certificates
by senators and implied that Senator
Camden was one of the senators who had
given such an order. 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.
