Washington, July 20. Attracted by the expectation of stormy scenes over the disagreeing conference report on the Tariff bill, spectators began to flock into the Senate galleries as early as 11 o'cldck this morning; and when the chaplain's opening prayer was begun, at noon, the galleries were j well filled, - though not crowded. Ladies in light summer cos tumes, with fans in perpetual motion, gave light and color to the scene. Sena tors were in attendance in much larger numbers than at any time since the pas sage of the Tariff bill. Gen Sickles and half a dozen members of the House oc cupied seats in the Chamber. Many memorials were presented and referred, among them one from the busi- sions ana our promises. Justine, o-nnrt faith and a decent regard for public sen timent all require this course; , "Until recently I had supposed that there was no dispute upon this question of principle but that every Democrat worthy of the name was willing to con cede that if there was one ithing more than another to wbi party was committed, it wag in favor of the doctrine of free raw materials; not simply freer raw materials as some now ingeniously contend, but absolutely free raw materials. I repeat that we cannot escape our record UDon this subiect. even if we are disposed to do so. The true and honest construction of every Democratic national platform for twelve years past, irrevocably comfnirs us to this just and reasonable principle. It is said by some, in justification! of or ex cuse for their present action, that the President s letter of acceptance in 1892, modified the extreme demands of our platform. It is true that some portions of his letter may tend to bear that con struction. It was not that bold, ringing and explicit declaration in favor of the platform which hia party had a right to oApeci,, uui was regarded ,by many as nana, cautious, and whether this criticism son for President, and Tilman's abuse of President Cleveland. -The first clause of the Anti-Anarchist law. passed by the French that persons anarch tie ? crimes Chamber of Deputies provides charged with inciting to shall be tried before judges without a jury.

" When the time came for the Demo cratic party to fulfill its pledges and re form the tariff, the House of Representa Jives contained a Democratic majority ofeighty-seven.i This fortunate con dition j alofte--nTa.de easy the task of securing the adopltos-Jifany party meas ure, regardless of the localand State in- leresisinvoiveu. wuteventnis advantasre in securing party leKUlation was hardl greater man mat aaorded oy the adop tion of! rules which enabled the majority to close debate arbitrarily and prevent obstruction or delay of any kind. Under these circumstances no difficulty was ex perienced in passing a tariff bill, despite the fact that its provisions were so offen sive to some"; that the party line was broken and no less than seventeen Demo crats voted i against the bill. Still the party was so large and the rules so well adapted to action that the defection was hardly tnoticed. j J submit, therefore," that; whatever may have been the quality of the statesmanship and management which characterized ho conduct of the original bill in1 the House, surely the highest ; order of ability was not abso lutely -essential; to that "free and un trammeled i action" on the part of the House conferees to which they seem to attach so muchimportance. now auierenc was tne situation in theiSenate. i i Here the Democratic ma jority was three. The defection of only two would turn the Democratic majority into a minority, j Practically, every vote was needed to enact party legislation Indeed, as a ; matter of fact, there has neyer been a liuja where fortv three Sen ators would bind themselves by the de cree of a Democratic Gau'cus. J. appre hend, without designing, the slightest re tleCtion i upon i his capacity as a party leader, that the phairman of Ways and Means committee would have found this i situation far more trying than that which enabled him to dispense with seventeen ; Democratic votetf and still retain a clear majority of nearly sixty in the House. In any event, many times two Democratic Senators could not see their way clear,. in justice to the in terests of either their constituents or the whole country, to vote for the Wilson bill. Jiust how many held this position I cannot say. I know that 1 was one. I made no concealment of the fact and I make none now. i conservative; but i nr is nnh -aroU 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 de liberately adopted in national leonvention duly assembled. No President can be above his porty; no President pan dictate to his party; no President can change his party's platform. 1 I "But no matter what idea it may be claimed was intended.to. be conveyed in his letter of acceptance in mitigation or modification of the platform, ithere can be no doubt as to the President's uuu at una ume upon tnis essential prin cipal oi tree raw materials. .Let me read from that remarkable letter of the Presi dent's which was yesterday submitted to the House of Representatives. It ex presses better then I can hope to do the true, sound and logical position of the Democratic party upon this question." Senator Hill here quoted I from the President's letter that part in reference to raw material and then proceeded : "I approve every word that Ihave here quoted. Ifc is an honestand manly state ment of the true attitude Which the party should assume in this crisis. "I am not required to defend the propriety or wisdom of the promulga tion of this letter at this peculiar time. It may have been indiscreet; it may o par ate as a fire brand to Rmrparf tho flames of discord already kindied among party friends, honestly differing, as' I am disposed to concede, upon questions of public and party policy. It may wiueu me oreacn already existing in this Senate, and in that view it may be regarded as unfortunate and ill! advised. It was a time, for diplomacy, statesman ship and conciliation, rather i than re crimination, denunciation and arraign ment. (But aside from the question of its mere expediency, I am here to de fend the President's letter in sof far as it demands that the party shall not be led astray into the violation of Democratic pledges and principles. I ' Upon the question of free raw mate rials, the President is right (and you know ic. You cannot answer his argu ments. You cannot successfully dispute his proposition.! ; You cannot doubt his sincerity and patriotism.

The time to yield is now, Deiore mere: is turther humilia tion, embarrassment." , .

He does not embrace all the Democracy and all the tariff reform of this country. He had no right to disregard the spirit of the Constitution. He had no right to trample on the sensibilities of other members of his party for any purpose whatever. Where did the President of the United States find the tight, by a nrivate letter t rr ; fluence legislation? When our fathers declared that there should be three great co-ordinate branches of this Gov ernment,, absolutely independent of eacn otner, aid they mean that a Presi dent of the United States, by the use of patronage, by the shadow of the great uiuu nits peopie gave nim.should, m the teeth of the Constitution, put into ikiuus ui a conieree instructed to nave a i mi and tree conference in mat ters in dispute between the two Houses, a personal appeal to his party friends to oyauu uv uus views on any public dues tion?

I ac cepted the income tax in its modified form from a sense of duty to my party, but 1 do bo with the greatest reluctance and with the distmctdeclaratiohj regard ing other portions of the measure, that I would not vote i for any bill or any amendment that would make it impos sible for a single industry to continue or resume operations. I "It has been charged that ve are not sincere in our advocacy of the Senate bill; that we have made it for trading purposes and that those of us who op pose the Wilson bill would rush into line at the first craqk of the wnip. I did not suppose that any person familiar with the character pf this body would b9 mis lead by a notion so- perjle. But it is evident from the attitude of our col leagues in the House that either they do not beliej-e we meant what we said or they are willing to jnvjte defeat of the tariff legislation." f Senator Hill's) opening sentence was: "'A theory, aa i well as a condition now confronts us." He paused and a laugh ran around the galleries, and when it had been 6tilled by the gavel, he pro ceeded: I - i ! ! ! ' . . "The theory of the Democratic party is that in the enactment of tariff legislation free raw materials should always be Jan essential and conspicuous element. It is our creed that those thjngs on which the industrial prosperity and progress of our country; so much depend, the materials .which enter into our manufactures, should be freed from the burden of tariff taxation; The beet interests of the man ufacturers, as well aa the consumers of the land, demand the recognition of this wise discrimination. We are committed to this side of the question and we cannot retreat and we cannot retract.

I reioice that he -as expressed them even now, al though I sm not required to defend the manner and form of their presentation, eyen if they required defense, which I do not assume, i "I respectfully differ from the Presi dent in big assumption that a tax upon sugar is necessary at this time, conceding,- for the purposes of the argument, that an income tax is to be ; retained. Clearly both are not needed for any le gitimate purposes of the treasury. That fact has been demonstrated over and over again during this debate. The President speaks of the 'Democratic prin ciple and policy which lead to ; the taxa tion of sugar.' He asserts that in ths taxation of sugar ' we are in no danger of running counter to Democratic princi ple.' I am not how controverting that idea, but desire only to suggest that if it was desirable that sugar should be taxed 'as a legitimate anI logical article df revenue taxation' as he now says, it teenies strange that the President did not, in his last annual message, make some intimation, suggestion or recommendation to that effect. Not a word of that kind appears. Hei endorsed the Wilson bill explicitly in hia message, although' it provided sub stantially for free raw sugar. He per mitted the House to pass that? measure without a word of protect, suggestion or advice that there should be ia tax on sugar,-which has come to be largely re garded as one of the necessaries of life. "In my judgment the House cannot now honorably retreat from its position in favor of free sugar. The President's suggestion came too late. The Senate must recede from its amendment." Senator Vest, a member of the cor ference committee, followed: ! "It is a subject of congratulation for every Democrat that the Senator from New York j and the iPresident of the United States are at last able to stand together on any platform, 'kiter all. Laughter, y They were both now urg ently pleading for the enactment of a law that would give absolutely free raw materials. These distinguished states men had arrived at that unification of opinion sftsr much intellectual struggle, and were new subject to the charge of much inconsistency. , &o f f r as harmony r could be produced, even to a limited extent, within the Democratic party," he (Vest) joined in the congratulations that must come from every portion of the, country on this union, at last, of those two distinguished gentlemen. The political milhmiuni seems to have come upon us at least in a modified degree. The lion and the lamb of New York have lain down together and the. Committee on Ways and Means of the House now leads them. Which is the lion and which is the lamb, I leave to future as certainment, for I am not bold enough to enter now oa that discussion. , "The Senator from New York tells us, as does the President, that the cardinal principle of Democratic faith in regard to tariff reform is free raw material. The President even goes farther than the distinguished Senator and Bays that it is perfidy to Democratic discipline and principles to consider tariff reform un less free raw 'material be embodied in that reform." In this connection Senator Vest re ferred sarcastically to the fact in the vote by yeas and nays on a motion to put. wool on the free list, Senator Hill had sat in his eeat and not voted.
