SENATE. : .
Washington, May 5. There was.an
unusually large attendance of spectators
in the gallery this morning when tbe
opening prayer was offered by the Chap-.
lain. Mr. Beck's desk and jchair were
covered with black crape, and a feeling
of solemnity seemed to pervade the
Chamber. The Chaplain made a feel
ing allusion to the "Shadow1 of Death"
under which the Senate met.'
! As soon as the Journal ot Saturday
was read, Mr. Blackburn rose and in a
voice tremulous with ! suppressed emo
tion, said: V ,
Mr. President, my colleague is dead.
It is not my purpose at this time to
speak either of him or of the great ser
vices which he has rendered to his coun-.
try. In the freshness of thej sorrow the
love which I bore for him would blind
with its tears. The drapery of his desk
furnishes a fitting type of the sorrow
which pervades every he4rt in this
Chamber. A great Commonwealth with
bowed head to-day puts on the weeds of
mourning, i At an appropriate time and
in the early future; I will ask the Senate
to afford to his friends an Opportunity
to pay their tribute to his memory. I
will now ask the ! Senate to consider

tending the funeral of Mr. Beck, which

and that the Senate will ; attend the
same. . .
Resolved, As a further mark of trie
respect entertained by the Senate for his
memory, that his (remains be removed
from Washington to Kentucky in
charge of the Sergeant-at-Arms, and
attended by a coinmittee which shall
have full power toj carry this resolution
into effect. !
Resolved, That the Secretary commu
nicate these proceedings to the House
of representatives; and invite the House
of Representatives? to attend the funeral
to-morrow (Tuesday), at 1 o'clock, and

Mr. Vest objected. : He did not know,
he said, what arrangements had been

Silver bill was the most important bill
on the calendar, that it ought to be dis
posed of, and that it had been unreason

by several Republican Senators on the

favors the claims of the contestant, was
ordered to be printed. . f i
Mr. McKinley moved to go into Com
mittee of the Whole for the considera
tion of the Tariff bill. In making the
motion Mr. McKinley stated that he
would endeavor to close the general de
bate Saturday evening. The Committee
on Ways and Means had intended to ask
the Committee pn Rules to report a res
olution limiting the five minute debate
to eight days, but had not done so on
account of the absence of Mr. Carlisle.
Mr. Mills, of Texas, thought that the
time allowed for general debate entirely
too limited. Two years ago the Demo
crats had conceded twenty-three days to
general debate, All he could do was to
remonstrate against the - short time
which was to be allowed for debate.
Mr. McKinley's motion was agreed to
without division, , arid accordingly the
House went into Committee of the
Whole, Mr. Payson in the chair, for the
consideration of the Tariff bill, j
On motion of Mr. Mills the commit
tee granted to Mr. McKinley the privi
lege ot speaking without limit of time,
and a similar courtesy i!as accorded to
Mr. Mills on motion s Mr..M-"i4.inley.
Mr. MCrviniey then loop uie floor in
support of the bill. In the last political
campaign the tariff had been the ab
sorbing question bafore the people. It
seemed to him that no extended discus
sion of this great principle was expected
or required under existing conditions.
for if any one thing was settled by the
political contest ot 1888 it was that the
protective policy as promulgated by the
Republican party through a long series
of years, should be secured in any legis
lation wnicn was to De naa oy tne yon
gress chosen in this great contest, and
on this mastering issue.
At the conclusion of Mr. McKinley s
speech he was warmly congratulated by
almost every Republican member
present, while the cry of "vote!" "vote!"
was heard all over the western side of
the hall. :
Mr. Mills, of Texas, followed. He de
clared that this was the first bill that
had come before the American people
with its mask torn off ; like a highway-
l demanding their purses. I Ap
plause.! To check importation was to
check exportation. Split hairs as you
may, no man could snow that we might
sell without buying. When we refused
to take the products of other nations,
that refusal was an interdiction against
our exports, and as we removed barriers
to free exchange, we increased our trade.
Protection right down meant more work
and less result, and carried out to its
conclusion it meant all work and no re
sult. '
Pig iron was the base of all of our iron
and steel manufacturers. In 1871 prices
were rising, after a period of depression
and imports ol pig iron were increasing,
From 2,500,000 tons in 1870, imports of
pig iron iose to .7,000,000 tons in 1876,
If Republican doctrine was true,
then every ton imported dis
placed a tort of American iron. ' But
the -.figures showed that our domestic
product rose from 52,000,000 tons in 1870
to 119,000,000 tons in 1872. That showed
conclusively that the Democratic posi
tion was right- that increased imports
increased the demand lor American
labor. Following out the figures it was
seen that from 1880 to 1885, when im
ports of pig iron dropped off, the domes
tic production fell off more rapidly,
Those figures presented an argument
absolutely overwhelming af all this talk
of importations interfering with domes-
tic employment. If this policy was pur
sued the smokestacks ol Pennsylvania
would have to be utilized for the study
of the laws of the heavens. If manufac
turers only opened their eyes and stu
died the laws ot trade they might avoid
this disaster. I
Gentlemen on the other side expressed
sympathy jfor the farmer, and their
zeal to relieve the distress which they at
length acknowledged surrounded ; the
agriculturists. Two years ago the Dem
ocrats stood on the floor and declared
that the country was on the edge of the

dark shadow, Republicans had ridiculed
this, and had said that farm mortgages
were only further evidence of prosperity
and wealth. JLaugnter. At length
these gentlemen were brought to their
knees at the contessionat, and were
bound to admit that there was wide
spread depression " throughout the agri
cultural regions. I
What did the bill do to aid agricul
ture? It put sugar on the free list,
though all the Republicans did i not
come Up like little gentlemen and take
sugar in theirs. Why did not the com
mittee treat sugar as it treated woollen
goods and cotton goods and iron goods?
Why did it not put a protective duty on
sugar, and compel its production in this
country, and carry out the protective
Doiicy.-' ouee naa been ptacea on tne
free list eighteen years ago by a Re-
Eublican Congress. Why not put a prb

on the other side ever heard of hides?
fLaughterl. Hides had bobbed up, and
then bobbed down again. Sometime

Why did not the committee put a duty
on hides as high as the duty on tin
plate? The Republicans could have ex
eluded all foreign hides and increased
the value on hides in the Western
States, but they had never intended to
do it. He did not believe in the protec
tion of hides. He was for free raw ma
terial, aud putting a low duty on the
finished article that went to the con

Why did not the committee put a pro

was to be protected. The United States
last year exported 69,000,000 bushels of j
corn, ana imported Dusneis. f 4 mis
immense, importation must be stOooed. '
The committee proposed to deliver the
rye iarmer irom an pern, it was -i going
to speak words of comfort to him and
tell him that he would not have to com
pete with pauper labor. How much rye
did the United States import ? Sixteen
bushels. Laughter.- Some adventur
ous farmer had bought this rye to, im
prove his crop, land . was to be re
buked ; for this at the capital
of hw nation, j He attributed to
the majority of f the committee one
bold and audacious- nerve,' which meant
deliverance of the! farmers. They cried
out, VLetthe portcullis fall" in order to
save thef , cabbage patch. They had
placed a duty on cabbage, and that was
to be the panacea for all ills. The farm-i
er could stand in his cabbage patch and
defy the world. Laughter. This was
a cabbage-head bill. fApolause.! i
The Republicans must do something
more than this in order to fool the
farmers. ,; The farmers understood hat
they needed markets for their products,;
This bill would almost stop the expor-;
tation of agricultural products, and then
the Republicans would hear a! storm1
worse than a Nebraska cyclone. Im-j
ports were paid for by exports, land tcj
stop importation was to stop exporta
tion. The Republicans claimed that
the home market was best; the Demof
crat's claim was that home and foreign
markets were greater than the home
market. : t - - - ' - j
In order to increase the home market
and give employment to our own peor
pie, the farmers must be given access to
foreign markets, where they could sell
their surplus products. Agriculture was
chamed like a galley slave. When her
bands were sundered and her products
exported to foreign markets, the price
of her products wc-uld be increased at
home and abroad; and the increased
price would extend employment to pror
duction in all departments ol labor.
1 he industries of the country devel
oped until they produced 15 per cent,
more than could be consumed in this
country. The surplus was constantly in
creasing, and the question was what
Congress was going to do about it. The
Democratic way was to let dowhthe bar
riers and let the surplus go out to the
people who wanted it, and take from
other people what they did not want
and we did. There was but one way for
this country to enter into the contest
with the world, and that was to "lay
aside every weight that doth beset herj
1 he people wanted a foreign market, and
they were going to ! have it.
In this extraordinary bill a new policy
was inaugurated by which the whole
American people were taxed in order
that somebody might go into a foreign
market and sell cheap goods to loreign
ers. i he American Lrovernment had a
foundation laid by the grandest and
greatest men the world ever produced
They did not build a government to tax
people in order that somebody might
sell cheap goods to foreigners.
Discussing the sugar bounty clause,
he said that the people who raised corn
and wheat and rye Would step up to the
counter and say, 'we will take some
sugar in ours,"
Democrats were opposed to sub
sidies. He wanted to see the flag of the
Union float in every sea. He wanted
to see American vessels in every port,
but he wanted to see those vessels go
into loreign ports as tree ships, repre
senting free American institutions,
He did not want to hire anybody to dis
play the flag of thej United States any
where in the world! He wanted to see
the flag when it went into foreign seas
go as an emblem of the proudest and
freest people of the world, who by their
genius had conquered the seas, and
brought their commerce where they
pleased. !
Republicans might pass their bill, but
it had a Hellgate to go through after 'it
Ielt the House and senate. ApPlause.J
i nere was a wninpooi beneath the sur
face of the waters upon which the little
craft floated. The American people
were long suffering, but there was a time
when distress was so . supreme that a
man stood with his mouth open, and
was bound to set forth for his own de
liverance. That time had about come,
Applause. j
He did not expect to hinder the Repub
licans from passing this bill, but he want
ed them to take the bill to the North
west and show it to the people whom
they were taxing unnecessarily. He want
ed them to confront those people, and
when they had preached their sermons
and told the people how good the Re
publicans had been, and how in the
people's name they had cast out devils,
the people would say to them, "get thee
behind me, Satan." The Democrats
would not impede the passage of the
bill, but when the Republicans appeared
before the great American people, after
passing this measure, may the Lord
have mercy on their souls. Applause.
Ihe Committee; then rose-and the
House took a recess until 8 olclock.
when the debate will be continued.

the use of. the Cuticura Remedies, and, I am happy
to say, with the most perfect success. His hair is now
splendid, and there is not a pimple on him. I recom
