%ated on the experience of all the civilized
■ations of the world.
won't paralyze trade.
Gentlemen here had said that the re
duction of the tariff would paralyze trade
and destroy the industires of the country.
He denied It; on the contrary, he asserted
that it would increase trade, would in
crease consumption, enlarge our markets,
and would not only increase the revenues
Of the government, but would also in
crease the opportunities of the people to
•arn the money they need for existence.
(Democratic applause.]
Mr. Cockran challenged a remark made
by Mr. Dingley. which that gentleman re
peated. ‘-that if there should be an in
crease of imports by 1250.000,000 of such
goods as we ought to produce for our
selves, that fact would decrease the pro
duction of this country to the [extent of
*250,000,t100. and carry put of the country
the difference in gold "
Mr. Cockran held this to be an absurd
ity, and asked : “On what basis can we
expect to carry on trade, on his theory of
prosperity that it is better to get money
from abroad than to get goods ? The gen
tleman from Maine thinks that if we
have a tribute of *250,000.000 in money we
are better off than if we have a tribute of
*250.000,000 in goods. Am I right in
that!”
MADE DINGLET TSEAST.
Mr. Dingley made no reply until Mr.
Cockran pressed him, when Mr. Dingley
said : "I suppose the gentleman is aware
that we often purchase things and get
into debt for them, instead of paying tor
them. There is a balance which may be
against the individual His purchases
are not necessarily paid for at the time:
and so with the purchases of a nation.
My proposition is simply this: that any,
any—[A pause hailed with laughter from
the democratic side] any policy that
leads to the importation of goods such as
we ought to produce ourselves deprives
our labor of the opportunities of making
these goods, and inevitably tends to re
duce the opportunities for labor in this
country, and tends to produce the evil of
which 1 spoke in my speech.”
At this point Mr. Walker, rep . of Mas
sachusetts. rose and asked if Mr. Cockran
would yield to him.
“Yes, of course.'' said Mr. Cockran. “in
order to promote the gayety of the discus
sion.’’ [Laughter and applause.]
WALKER ASKS A QUESTION.
“I wish to ask the gentleman,” Mr
Walker went on. “whether he think that
if every dollar's worth of cotton or
woolen goods used in this country were
sent, in from abroad and given away for
nothing, the gift would be an advantage
to this country.” *
Mr. Cockran professed to not under-,
stand this question.
“Then I will repeat,” said Mr. Walker.
“My point is that if an absolute gift wero
made to this country ol all the cotton
goods, or all the woolen goods consumed
in it, thus shuitiug up our mills, and stop
ping the circulation of money, it would bs
the greatest curse that T can conceive of,”
MASSACHUSETTS WOULD PUBMIT.
“I think it is a curse,” said Mr. Cock
ran, “which the people of Massachusetts
would cheerfully submit to. [Democratic
laughter]. lam speaking about importa
tions. una the very basis of my remarks
and my theory is that all importations
must be paid for, and that there is no
element of charity in trade, whether it be
trade with foreign nations or among our
selves, or between employer and laliorer.
And It is well that there should not be.
If I understand the theory of the
gentleman from Maine (A! r. Dingley)
an importation of *250,000,000 of goods
which wc could manufacture ourselves
would be a startling event pregnant with
mischief and dangerous to the prosperity
of the country, while he seems to look on
the importation of money as something
which indicates great prosperityand a hap
py condition of the country. I venture to
state that, as between the importation of
money and the importation of goods, I
•would rather, for general prosperity, have
an importation of goods.” [Democratic
applause.]
THE HIGBEBT PRICED LABOR.
Mr. Walker again got into the discus
sion by quoting Mr Cockran as saving
that the highest priced labor was always
the cheapest. “I want to say,” said he,
after some colloquy with Mr. Cockran,
who asked him whether, as a man, for ho
did not admit it, ‘-that the highest
priced labor on a given scale of
competition in any locality, al
ways means the most skilled
labor and the best, but it does
not mean that it is the cheapest labor the
world over.” [Approval from his republi
can colleagues, in which ho himself
joined, to the great amusement of the
members and spectators, who laughed
heartily at the scene. ]
When Mr. Cockran’s time expired Mr.
Montgomery, of Kentucky, who was to
follow’, yielded his time and Mr. Cock
ran went on with his speech, and his
amusing colloquy with Mr. Walker.
A DEATH KNELL TO HARD TIMES.
The Wilson bill, he said, was a step in
the direction of economic reform and the
commercial freedom of the country.
“Let us pass this bill,” he continued,
and I promise you that it w’ill take more
than six months hard tunes to put soup
kitchens in every city’.” [Applause.]
“Mr. Wilson told us in words which
will last long after he has disappeared
from this scene of his activity, which he
has done so much to adorn; he has told
us that the prosperity of this country de
pends not on the tariif, but on its labor:
not on its mines, but on its men; not on
the Republican party, but on Almighty
God.” [Loud applause.]
Addressing himself to the Republican
party he said that the democrats find It
harder to do justice thau they had to do
injustice. [Applause]. "We will keep
on,” he said, "until a policy of freedom
shall take the place of protection and re
pression.” [Applause.] He said that the
Wilson bill was not perfect in all particu
lars. Many articles had been left on the
dutiable list on the principle that a man
who had been engaged on a prolonged
debauch would die if his whisky was cut
off too suddenly. JLaughter and ap
plause on the floor and in the galleries.]
W T hen Mr. Cockran sat down, there was
an outburst of apoiause such as has
rarely been witnessed in the history of
the House. Cheer after cheer rang out
from the galleries, which the chairman
was powerless to repress. And when it
appeared that the crowds had got tired of
cheering, the enthusiasm broke out again
and again, and cries of "vote,” “vote.”
When the turmoil had somewhat sub
sided. Mr. Taylor, rep., of Tennessee,
spoke in opposition to the bill. He was
followed in order by Mr. Draper, rep., of
Massachusetts, on the same side.
Mr. Weadock. dem., of Michigan, next
spoke for the bill, and Mr. Doolittle, rep.,
of Washington, against it.
At 5:30 o’clock the committee rose, and
the House took a recess until to-night at
fe o’clock.
THE NIGHT SESSION.
There was a much better representa
tion of members present when the House
met to-niglit than at any other previous
night session. The first speaker was
Mr. Wright, rep., of Massachusetts, who
asserted that the passage of the Wilson
bill would close American factories and
workshops, and would not result in giv
ing us any foreign markets, and would
give foreign manufacturers a monopoly of
our trade.
Mr. Springer asked unanimous consent
that ladies and gentlemen, the friends of
members, should be admitted to the tloor
of the House, in order to relieve the over
crowded gallery’. This permission was
granted, and in a few moments the floor
of the House presented an unusually gay
and animated scene.
At the close of Mr. Wright’s speech,
Mr. Bryan, dem., of Nebraska, was recog
nized to speak in defense of the Wilson
bill. In the absence of the other member
who was to have spoken to-night, Mr.
j Bryan was given unlimited time for his
j s|ieech. and consumed over two hours.
At 11:10 o'clock the committee rose,
! and the House adjourned until 11 o’clock
a. m. Monday.
TURNER’S ELOQUENT TONGUE.
His Speech on the Tariff One of the
Best Yet Delivered-
Washington. Jan. 13.—Representative
Turner, the Georgia member of the ways
and means committee, second to Bourke
Cochran, made the telling speech of the
day on the tariff. He was eloquent, ar
gumentative. sarcastic and witty. He
held up Tom iteed to ridicule and parried
every thrust in the keenest and clearest
manner. It was the l>est speech ever de
livered on the floor of the House by Rep
resentative Turner, and he was warmly
< ongratulated at its close. The last two
days have shown that Georgia has not
silence, but eloquence in its delegation,
and with the speaker, there is no state
influencing the legislation of the country
more than that which has sent Repre
sentatives Crisp, Black and Turner. Rep
resentative Lester, if his health permits,
is the next member of the delegation to be
heard from He is now rallying from an
attack of the grip.
SWEPT BY FIRE.
Most of the Business Portion of Ips

Ipswich, Mass., Jan. 13.—The most de
structive fire this town has ever known
broke out about 2 o'clock this morning in
a hall occupied by the Red Men in the
Jewett block, and when it was subdued
some three hours later had swept away
the larger part of the business portion of
the place and caused a loss of *125,000.
An Anti-Free List Protest.
Norfolk, Va , Jan. 13.—The Chamber of
Commerce of Norfolk to-night adopted a
resolution protesting against coal and
lumber being put on the free list, as pro
vided for in the Wilson tariff bill.

CONSULTING OPTICIANS.
A STARTLING FACT,
That very few persons have perfect eyes. It
must be evident that it requires both knowl
edge and skill to know what the eyes need
and to fit them properly with glasses. Those
who trust this work to uninstructed dealers
are criminally careless of the most valuable
of all the senses, their sight. In addition to
graduating in Germany and my thirty yeara’
practical experience I have taken a course
and graduated in a school of optics in New
York and learned the latest and best methods
of ascertaining the different defects of the
eyes and their proper correction, so that I
can fit you properly with glasses that will
strengthen and Improve youreyeslght Instead
of' rapidly ruining it, as poorly fitted glasses
will always do. No charge for examination.
