' ' Senator Hill Unsuccessful in His Ef fort to Throttle ;ihe income Tax J His Amendment Defeated -V Lively Debatej in' ihe House Over Placing Responsi bility for Defeat of the Carlisle Currency Bill. ' SENATE. ' - Washington Jari. 16. The debate on Senator Hill's amendment to the Urgent Deficiency bill, in j reference to testing the constitutionality of th j income tax occupied most, of to-day s session, and ended in the rejection of the amendment by an overwhelming majority. Senator Vest's reminiscences of the events of (he last session, while the Tariff act was hanging in suspense between the two Houses, were of I cons iderable inter est. He said he was! largely responsible for the form in which this income tax provision now stood. He did not claim that it was perfect, or 'anything like per fect, but he asserted j that its imperfec. tions were caused by the fact - that,' in the absence of rules in the Senate to close debate, the Finance Committee was com. pelled to put the Tariff bill through under whip and spur. The entire country, he said, was clamoring for tariff legislation. He was tired of hearing the ceaseless charges against the Tariff law and its de fects corning from those who knew the reason why those defects existed. Those who had charge of the measure had en deavored to make the income tax as un objectionable as possible. There had been grave defects left m it, and it had been hoped that those defects would be reformed.in the conference committee. Senator Vest drifted into a discussion of the rules in reply to Senator Gorman's defense of them on Monday. He argued that on any political or financial meas ure it was iaa possible to force, action. while, on other matters!, any Senator might have almost any bill parsed under Senatorial couitesy. "When any Senator," said he, facetiously, "desires to pass a bill that does not excite sec tional or partisan opposition, Senators sit hre like a lot of mascovy drakes, and bow, in quack metre, to each other, and then go, with solemn and jstupid dignity to the routine business of the day. TLauehterl. But when vott come to questions like the Tariff bill or financial legislation, or the Force bill, where the passions and prejudices of the Senators are necessarily aroused, it is almost im possible to secure any result in this body, eo lone as nve Senators are opposed to its enactment, On another point in his speech Senator Vest said "I have no right to say what the Pres ident will go, for 1 do not enjoy the Ex ecutiye confidence, j But I bincerely hope that if Congress adjourns without hnan cial legislation the President will call u, immediately on the final fall of the gravel, in extraordinary session and we will then see whether the Republican party, by its enactments, will bring prosperity to the people of the United States." . ! 1 Senator Hawley -We will not have a Republican benate. ; Senator Vest lou will not have a Democratic Senate. !

It was precipitated by Mr. Walker, lie publican, of Massachusetts, wno maae the fctatement that the Republicans were ready and willing to sujiport a proper measure for the relief of the country. To this Mr. Warner, Democrat, of New York, responded that the Republicans were seeking an excuse far their action in aereatmg ine ruie ior pe uuuswerar tion of the Carlisle bill, in connection with those Democrats who had voted with them, and he said the statements or the gentleman from Massachusetts were a mere pretense. j Mr. Money Democrat, of Mississippi, speaking for the free silver Democrats, denied responsibility for the failure of the rule, and charged it upon the Com- mittee on Kuies, wno reiusea w permit an understanding to be had that a vote on the Bland Free Silver substitute should be taken. Mr. Catchings, Democrat, of Ajissis sippi, defended witn some ieeiing t,ue action of theUomnntte9 on times, saying it had been dictated wholly by the mr structions of the Democratic caucu. Mr. Reed said that the situation, in a nut shell, was that the Carlisle bill fell c f its own weight, because everybody recog nized that it never could have receive! the votes of a majority of the House. The duty that devolved upon the Demo crata was to give tnei uovewiment sujn cierit revenues ,to fneet expenditures; that would restore the credit of the Gov ernment and relieve the general financial situation.

Baiti more Sun, 16th, A Letter From Him Written Nearly Iwo Years Ago Bis Views on Free Silver, State Banks I and Tariff Reform. New Yoek, Jan. 16. The following letter from Senator Hill to Mr. Howell, of the Atlanta Constitution, written nearly two years ago. will be published by the New j York papers to-morrow: "(Personal.-) j "ALjBANY, N. Y.. "July 13, 1893. "My Dear HoiceU : "Absence from home and professional engagements have prevented an earlier reply to your recent letter, asking con fidentially my views on certain ques tions, r "First As to the approaching session of Congress. I was one of those who be lieved that the extra session of Congress should have been called in April last, and I so advised the President in the first and only interview I have had with him. He seemed bent on having one in Sep tember;, which I thought was a mistake. I believed then whatever policy in regard to the currency and tariff that was desired to be could be better done in the spring, before j the patronage had been distrib uted and before party differences should augment. The President thought differ .ently, but has- finally yielded to outside j)re3sure and has called the session for August. I fear that it is a mistake. I fear that we shall be in session until Decem ber. I dp not like the prospect of having a Democratic Congress in session during the fall elections. I anticipate many differences and much bitterness will! be developed. All of which will tend to distract the party and give m a 6et back in the fall. ; I hope I am mistaken in all this, but fear I may not ba. So long as Congress must meet, I hope it will only be in session thirty days and adjourn. This would be my programme if it could be carried out. The extreme silver men can prevent it; the Republicans can pre vent it, and general cussed ness can pre vent it. All the chances are that we shall be in session until December. I would not take up any other legislation than financial, if I could have my way. "3econd As to the repeal of the Sher man law. I favor the-unconditional re peal of that law. , I have always been opposed to it. The true friends of silver make a mistake in attempting to defend it. It should be abandoned Iy general consent. My views were partly i ex pressed in my recent Tammany letter, which you have" undoubtedly seen, j Per sonnally, I should prefer not to repeal the law until an , acceptable substitute was provided, in order to render more probable the adoption f such substitute and not becanse I approve at all of the Sherman silver law. But from a party point of view, the wisest course is unconditional repeal. The country, ex pects it and the party will be found fairly well united in favor of it. There fore, it Is unwise, while agreeing upon the general proposition, to waste our time in agreeing upon a substitute, pending the repeal. Let the' repeal be made at once and let us differ as to other financial matters afterwards. I am in favor of bimetallism as the issue of the future. We should seek to keep that is sue to the front; we should not strive for temporary success or compromise meas ures. We should be for free coinage un der an international agreement, it it is possible to procure one and for which every exertion 6hould be made-rif riot possible, then for independent bimetal lism. This is the great goal for which we should strive. It cannot be done at once. Our friends must not be impa patient. The people must be educated The unexpected action of India and the general sentiment of the moneyed classes conspire against . us at this time. 1 do not believe in the Bland bill, or any other measure wfjich guarantees any thing less than unrestricted coinage for gold and silver alike, as pledged in the Democratic national platform. Let us prepare, not for present victory, but for victory upon that issue in 1896. The re peal of the Sherman law will not give the relief which is anticipated. It will aid business temporarily, but in a year times will be hard and the demand for permanent financial relief will be irre sistible. We should continue to hold out free coinage as the goal which the country must ultimately reach. The triumph of the monometallists will be but temporary, . "Third As to the repeal of the 10 p?r cent, tax on State banks. That tax can not be well defended! It ia an un-Dem-ocratic tax. Ostensibly it i3 imposed for revenue, but it does not, in fact, bring in any revenue, and was never intended for that purpose. .From a Democratic standpoint, its imposition is an abuse of the taxmg power. 1 should not like to go upon record in, favor ot such a tax, nor do I deBire to refuse to repeal it. I, regard that tax question as an independ ent one. which-has very little bearing upon the main great question, of the free coinage of silver, and they should be kept apart as much as possible'. I While tnat tax cannot oe approved irom a Democratic standpoint I fear the con sequences of a repeal. As I understand it, it has been held that Congress has not power, directly, to prohibit State banks from issuing thefr notes, which circulate as money, although they cannot be made legal tender and are not money in fact. I do not like suoh wild-cat currency and never did. I do not think we ought to become the champions of it. While, per hap. we should take the ground that the States should' be at liberty to issue such notes if they desired to do so, yet such issue should not be encouraged, we should not be switched off from the gold and silver issue upon any such side track I fear the experiment of wild-cat State bank currency will not be a success. It may be temporary relief, but in the end will be, disastrous. The bank notes of so many States will be so worthless, that while in New lork or (jeorgia they might be perfectly good always, yet in so many other States they would be so bad that the whole circulation would be discredited. You will observe from what I have stated that I advise we should move cautiously in regard to the State hank tax and not to mix it up with the legal tender currency question. "Fourth As to tariff reform I do not apprehend any serious difficulty in this matter. There will be a general unanim ity as to the' bills which passed the last Democratic House and which were re fused consideration in the Senate. What ever bills the Treasury: Department may recommend I think are likely to be passed. We must make a little tariff re form go a great ways. The condition of the treasury will not admit of much re duction, except in those cases where a reduction is likely to produce more needed revenue. . I do not think we need lie awake nights at all, anticipating trouble from th tariff question. I doubt tb.e' policy of restoring the sugar tax. Qur " people have come to regard sugar as one of the necessities and comforts of life and they want it 43 chaap aa possible. Let the tariff be retained on those articles which come in competition with our own work men if it is necessary to secure more revenue. 'These are my views partly expressed and, of course, always subject to modi fication after consultation with party friends. While I like to adhere to my own views as well as any one, in party affairs l oeneve in the old doctrine: 'in essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, and injall things, charity' - I remain, very truly yours, David B.

The keytiote of the speeches of Butler and PritcHard yesterday, ia accepting their nominations at the hands of the joint caucus, was the continuance of fusion and the. protective policy for Southern raw materials. Weeks ago Butler told me that fusion would con tinue; that jit was the logical sequence of the last campaign.
