AUGUST 8, 1894. that caucus made A DRV HAUL Th# House Democrats Met and Dis cussed the Status of the Tariff in Conference. THREW OUT THEIR TEUTACLEt To ml Around Cutis Friday, When Aiiothur Caiigki Will Be Held. Raaolntloaa ot Coufideuce In the Conferee*. Washington, Aug. 7.—The house Democratic caucus today lasted an hour and a half, and aajourned after deed ing that the house conferees on the tariff bill should not be embarrassed by instructions of any character from the Democratic associates. This action of the cau-cus was disap pointing to its promoters, who had hoped for a different result, by a sdeedy settlement of the matters In dispute between the two houses, might be reached. Another disappointment awaited those present, In that Mr. Wil son, the chairman of the ways *and means committee, failed to Inform the caucus what pregress the conferees had made, wtfrat propositions had been advanced and rejected by the represen tatives of the two houses, and when, in his opinion, a report would be made. Nor did Speaker Crisp, who spoke at length, throw any light upon the situa tion. For the most that he said was that an agreement might be reached at an early day, while he deepened the spirits of those who are pressing for an early adjournment by saying that con gress might remain in session ninety days, but that a tariff bill satisfactory to the country would be passed before it adjourned, A feature of the proceedings was a statement made toy Mr. Boatner of Louisiana, on the authority of Senator Mills of Texa4, that the house must recede from its objections to the senate amendments and -agree to them if the pissage of a tariff bill is to be ex pected. The characterization of this declaration by Mr. Cooper of Indiana as a bluff, seemdd likely for 0 moment to result in an acrimonious debate. It did not, however, so result, and the the entire proceedings were character ized by a spirit ot harmony and good feeling. Before the serious work of the caucus began, a telegram was read from the desks announcing that Col..Oates had carried Alabama by a majority wrf 25,- 000. This was greeted with loud ap plause and put everybody in a gcog. humor. Mr. Holman, the ohairmaifcof the cau cus committee, presided. 1 The roll call disetosed the presence of 168 members, an unusually large number, Mr. By- i num of Indiana, who was the moving I spirit in securing the caucus, prompt ly offered the following: I “Whereas, house bill 4864, for the re- I ductlon of taxation and to provide rev- 1 enue for the government, passed the I bouse on the 1st day of February and I the senate on the 3rd day of July, and I wa* sent to conference on the 7th day I of July lost; and, i I "Whereas, The commercial Interests [ of the country have been held In sus- I pense awaiting a final settlement of the question; and, I "Whereas, The people of the whole I country, through the public press and I by petitions .to both houses of congress I demanded a speedy decision, that the Industries may, as soon as possible, be I adjusted to the proposed changes; and, I •’Whereas, Conferees appointed by I the two houses to hold a full and free 1 conference over the disagreeing votes I of the two houses have had the matters I In dispute and under consideration for I one month and have failed to come to any agreement whatever; and, "Whereas, the house of representa- I tlves, which, under the constitution of I the United States, is clothed with the I exclusive power tb originate bills rals- [ lng revenue and Is, therefore, clothed I with the right to pa«w upon all amend- I ments proposed by the senate, freely I and without restraint: and, I "Whereas, the members of the house I of representatives have not availed I themselves b£ an opportunity to consid- I or said amendment or any of them, I which right under parliamentary law is [superior to all others: and. | “Whereas, It Is ourrenty believed that | mid conferees are unable to agree; I therefore, be it I “Resolved. That It 1s the sense of I this caucus that the Democratic con- | ferees t>f the house and of the eonate I should meet in a spirit of liberality, to I the end that the two house, by equal I concessions, may ugr^s upon a meas- I ure which will meet the approval of | each. I “Resolved, That this caucus stands [adjourned until 3 o'clock Friday, the [ hHh Instant, at which time. In case no [ agreement has been reached. It shall I reconvene to tnke such further act Jon [in the premises ns It may deem nec- | **iry and appropriate; and the chair- I man of the house caucus is hereby [ authorized and directed to invite the | uemocrwdc senators to meet with the I r? mocra t* of the house at that time in ■ Joint caucus.” 1. Livingston of Georgia offered the I«Ollowing ftj a fubstltute iwr Mr.-Hry- [•»’• resolution: I *2®*°l v «d. That we have unlimited 1 confidence In the house conferees and lheni to present a tariff bill that ■ will meet the pledges and principles of | w .' ca mi»lgn and platform of 1832.” |J B the discussion of these resolutions I -■•■■'finnan Wilson of the ways and ■m*ine committee aald he was glad of ■an opportunity to meet the Democrats ■ in council, but would not have selected II? 8 time for the purpose. He did not ISl”?. ** fortunate Just at *.hls time ■Hf 11 the situation was most - ml ii. I, * week and this week, that the call l*°r a caucus should be held over th MH. in conclusion. Mr. Wils’on said ihat this was the feeling of all the hi'use conferees and that they desired to carry out the programme along the lines indicated. But ho intimated that if the present conferees did not repre sent the -wishes of the Democratic ma jority of the house they would willingly give way to others. Mr. Wilson spoke with great earn estness and wiito much feeling and his remarks were greeted with applause. •Mr. C. R. Breckinridge of Arkansas, a member of the committee on ways and means, who has been present at all the meetings of the Democratic con ferees, assured the caucus that the house conferees, had not .set up any ultimatum on any one schedule as had ln.*en reported, but th.it they were at work with their senatorial associates in the effort to secure an agreement u.l along the line. Mr. Bynum and Mr. Livingston sug gested several changes in their resolu tions, but before anything definite was accomplished by the caucus. Speaker Crisp was recognized and took the floor. The speaker said that he was glad that the caucus had been called. It gave the Democrats an opportunity of meeting and expressing their- senti ments. He always attended Demo cratic caucuses, he said, and was wil ing to be bound by their decisions. He thought it inadvisable to adjourn the cuucus to another fixed day. A caucus could always be coiled when ever necessary, If a reassembling of the caucus was flxed^for Friday next, it would be equivalent to saying to the conferees: “If you don’t agree by that time we shall instruot you what to do. Are we going *to instruct them to agree to the senute amendments? If bo, we might as well do it now. Speaker Crisp said he was confident that the house would stay here 30, 60 or even 00 days rather than go home without securing the passage of a satisfactory und ac ceptable-tariff bill. The effect of the Dynum resolution, if passed, would be to take the house from behind its con? ferees and Impress the senate confer ees with the tact that all. they had to do would be to wait a week, and the house Conferees would come to them. The house conferees, he said, were en titled to the same support the had so far given Its conferees. The conferees were waiting to secure an agreement, and no other action was nec essary. -Let them alone. There are 38 men in the senate who favor the house bill. We all want to go home, but while we are waiting for the right kind of a bill we can best serve our country by staying here. He went on to say that coal, ore and sugar were not .the only important items in the cili. The senate had increased the rates on almost all of the schedules and many concessions would be secured on these if the conferees were permitted to con tinue thtfir work, die hoped for the reason stated, that no resolution WOttJd be passed, inasmuch as Mr. .Wilson was still hopeful of 1an . t himself was inclined tto the belief that the agreement would be made inside or two weeks and that, too, upon a report that would pass both houses. • A moment ater a voice was heard. What’s -the use of doing anythin*? Speaker Criap-4W©U, if Its a.greoa1t>le v n all sides I am ready to. move that the caucus do now adjourn. Thereupon Messrs. Bynum and Liv ingston yvlttfdrew their reso utions and the caucus adjourned sine die. last of thk COXBYITES. • They Have Left Virginia to Go to Their . Homes.

We are going to our homes, where we will continue to fight for lib erty and equality at the ballot box.
