DDDATING TDD TARIFF. Widely Divergent Views Advanced by ; Members of Congo ess. REPARTEE OF MR. DOOKERY. Newlands Speaks For the Out and Out Silver Men—McLaurin of South Caro- lina Says That He Is In Favor of a Duty For Cotton. '1 Washington, March 24,—There were less than 50 members on the floor when the house entered upon the second day of the tariff debate. There were only a few strag glers in the galleries. As the ~ day advanced the members poured in and the galleries became crowded. Be- tore the debate was resumed today 1‘er. Wilson (Dc'111., S. C. ), who was ab- sent on the opening day of the session, was sw01n in. Mr. Gibson (Rep, Tenn.) was the In st speaker. He devoted himself to a general argument in favor of protec- tion. Mr. Dockery (Dem., Mo. ), who follow- - ed, said it was not a matter of surprise to him that the discussion of the bill thus far had been tame and uninter- esting. “The truth is,” said he, “the people of this country want more mon— py and less taxes. This bill does not represent the issue of the late cam- paign. The people would prefer to see 8113, 000, 000 more money put in circula- tion than to see that amount absorbed by the treasury’ Mr. Dockery said it did not lie in the mouths of the Republicans to criticise the bond issues of the last administra- tion. “Mr. Clevel'and was criticised on this side of the house,” said he, “while you indorsed his policy in the last con- gress. Your committee on 11ays and means refused to gi1e the house an Op- portunity to vote on the senate reso- lution prohibiting bond issues because your leaders had been notified by 50 Republicans from the 11est that they would be compelled to vote for it. The Laugh on 3h. Ray. “Do you suppose we would have in- dorsed the bond issues if the tariff law had been raising sufficient revenue?” asked Mr. Ray (Rep, N. Y.) “Then you admit you indorscd the bond issues?” At this there was Dem- ocratic laughter. Mr. Ray attempted to pursue the subject, but Mr. Dockery declined to yield further. Continuing Mr. Dockery ridiculed the idea that the present tariff law was the monster which had destroyed our industries. If it had done so, why, he asked, had the Republican members of the ways and means committee lifted the metal and cotton schedules almost bodily from this monstrous law? He denied that there was an era of prosperity for labor during the existence Of the McKinley law and instanced the Carnegie ‘strike. “That catastrophe,” interrupted Mr. Dalzell, “was the result of a contest be- tween organized labor and the Oppo- nents of organized labor. The McKin— ley law had nothing to do with it.” “Yes, and the protected employer hired Pinkerton detectives tO shoot down organized labor,” returned Mr. Dockery “A distinguished Republican senator, then a member of this house, told me at the time that that was the worst disaster the Republican party had experienced in 20 years.” Mr- Dockery was especially sarcastic in his remarks on the absurdity of giv- ing alleged protection to agricultural PI‘Oducts. Of the $569,000,000 of products exported by the United States last year, $504,000 were agricultural prod- ucts. In conclusion he said that the policy of protection had driven our flag from the high seas, impoverished. the labor- mg man and multiplied farm mort- gages. Mr-.NeW1ands (Sil., Neb.) then took thefloor as the spokesman of his party, which numbers three members in the house. Mr. Newlands’ Speech. Mr. Newlands discussed the tariff bill from the standpoint of the silver men who united with the Democrats and Populists during the last campaign in Opposition to the Republicans. Their alliance, he said, still continued, and was likely to amalgamate the allied forces into one strong party with silver as the supreme and dominant issue, all other questions being subordinate to it, and the largest tolerance being exer- cised as to the diiference Of opinion on other questions which had hitherto di— vided the vaiicus elements constituting the silver fO' cos. Much depended in the futule upon the tolerance, the wisdom and the conser1z Ltism of, action of the allied parties, and he proposed to ad— dress himself to the question as to what line of party action would best promote the cause of bimetallism, which he said all. regarded as the only radical cure for ex1sting conditions. Though, he continued, it is some- times difficult to determine the exact issues settled by a campaign, there can be no question that, as tO the tariff, the popular verdict at the last election was in favor of protection. The Democratic party declared silver to be the domi— nant issue, and nearly snatched vic— tory from the most desperate condi- tions. have been complete had not the Dem- . ocratic victory presented other unnec- essary issues which handicapped Bry- an’s candidacy, furnished pretext for misrepresentation and abuse and real- ly divided the friends of silver. As it was, however, he said, the peo- ple 'had declared in favor of protection and had given the Republican party a contract for prosperity, and that party should, in his judgment, be allowed to carry out any reasonable tariff policy without Obstruction and with expedi- tion. Mr. Newlands went on to discuss the policy which he thought would best protect American industry. He de- clared that both industrial and mone- tary legislation were necessary and that of the two the latter was the most necessary. McLaurin Takes the Floor. Representative McLaurin '(Dem., 5- C.) next spoke. His demand for a duty on cotton created a mild sensation, but it was heartily applaudedby several of the Democratic members from the cot- ton belt. While Mr. McLaurin was con- trasting the vast wealth of the manu- facturing states of the east with the poverty of the farming states 0f the south, Mr. Linney (Reno N. C.) asked -.. ....._-........‘ _ wit-1' The Republican victory would I * ,7 THE EVENING GAZETTE li- ,‘- 71ml‘ , him what was to hinder’the—‘pe<33le~3f the Carolinas from building factories ’and sharing in the spoils instead of “cussing" their more enterprising ri- vals. “The state of affairs produced by the existence of the Republicans and Popu- lists in the Carolinas,” replied Mr. Mc- Laurin, ”prevents the investment of capital.” ’ “Is not free raw material the pet doct1ine of the Democracy?” asked Mr. Linney. “It is the pet doctrine,” responded Mr. McLaurin, with emphasis, “of the Democracy represented by Cleveland and Carlisle and those who have prosti- tuted the name of Democracy and who were your aids and allies’ in .the last. campaign.” ' A large proportion of the Democrats on the floor applauded this statement. Dingley and DIcKinley Tariffs. Viashington, March 2-i.—There is still wide room for discussion and calcula— tion as to just how much protection the Dingley bill carries with it. It is not a. simple matter to compare it fairly with other tariffs. But in all such efforts it should be remembered that it has still to pass the challenge of critics iii the house and especially in the senate. In its present shape the measure is in its extreme protection phase, and modifica— tions may be er pected before it takes the form Of law. Among those who have been figuring on a comparison of tariff rates be- tween the McKinley law of 1890, the Wilson law and the Dingley bill the treasury experts have made a compara- tive statement under the general direc- tion Of the majority members of the ways and means committee. The value of importations is given for 1893 under the McKinley act, for 1896 under the existing law, and the estimated values under the proposed law, together with the amount Of duties collected and esti- mated by schedules, and the ad valo- rem equivalents. From this comparison it appears that in every schedule,. ex- cept metals and cotton manufactures, the ad valorem equivalent is higher un- der the proposed law than under that of 1890. The following table shows the ad valorem equivalent under the Mc- Kinley act and the proposed bill in the several schedules: McKinley. Dingley.

Dingley and the Lewiston Factory. Washington, Mai ch 24.—Chairman Dingley Of the .ways and means com- mittee, when asked whether the wool manufacturing concern in which he is interested had not laid in large stocks of wool while the duty was Off for the purpose of profiting by the rise in prices which would follow the imposi— tion of the wool and woolen schedule in the new bill, answered that, so far as he had any knowledge, the factory in question had not bought a dollar's worth. “The fact is,” said he, “I boUght a. few shares Of stock some time ago for the purpose of helping to establish a mill in our city. It was not a profitable investment, and I should be better Off today if I had not made it. There is no other foundation for any report whioi represents me as a manufacturer. As for the idea that I am preparing to , profit by a rise in the price of wool un- i der a protective tariff, I am not aware, as I have said, that the managers of the concern have laid in any supply.” One Day’s Government Receipts.
