PuKh Cornea in for Hume of (h? "Di'iuorrntln" Murennui. Uy Southern Associated Pr.ea?. 'Washington, D. C., Jan.^lt. ? After , tho routlno morning business tho Ur gent Defleleuey bill was taken up, tho question be.ng on Mr. 1 1 Ill's jrppeal from tho decision of tho clialr ruling out tho amendment offered by him to authorize tho United States Courts to hear and determine questions as to tho constitutionality and validity of thu income tax. t. v ? cMr. Stewart took tho floor and con* eluded his speech begun Saturday? a free silver speech . f . Mr. Gorman next addressed tlio Sen ate. Tho pending proposition was. ho said, a simple and plain one. An ap propriation bill was before the Senate providing for deficiencies, among which was one to euftble the Secretary of ihe Treasury to carry out the law for tho collection of tho income tax. But what tho Senator .from New York desires, Mr. Gorman contiuued. is a provision that would enable any tax payer -"to suspend the incomo tax, and so, by injunction, to reverse the rule, and to prevent the money coining into the Treasury until every question thai might >be raised by every unwilling tax-payer Should bo decided by the Supreme Gourt of tho1 United States. Such an amendment, Mr. Gorman de clarod, would bo wrong, would be be yond the power' of the Senate, and would be destructive to the Interests of the Treasury. You cannot eliminate a sjucfy provision of the tariff l?iw which brings .revenue into the Treas ury without substituting something in IU< place that will produce ay equal amount of revenue. And I repeat that there is no just reason or excuse for any senator who proposes to make a reduction, unless he can show that this body can legally add to the revenue an equal amount by other provisions ? and that cannot be done. There never was a more hazardous undertaking than.) that of revising , the tariff law at tho time tho Democratic party undertook it. The bill was a compromise measure; and no bill could have passed the Sen ile except -by a compromise, to which every Democratic senator except the senator from New York (Mr. Hill) agreed. Ah a whole, and as it stands today, the tarlfT law Is the net of the Democratic party; and it is the best tariff law that has been on tht> statute books for a number of years. The sen ator from New York Is not a party to that compromise. There is something In the atmosphere of Northern" New York which It seems to mo makes it impossible for a statesman from that section ever to compromise. (laugh ter.) The question then was the McKluley act or the pending bill; but the sena tor from New York told hts colIeagug> 011 this side of the chamber, ytffTtcr give me my way, or you shalf npver pass tiio bill." In that compj^ilse wo put the Incomo tax. Now, I might excuse the senator from New York for Antagonizing this provision if It were not for the fact that whilst we were considering the tariff bill he not only opposed the income tax feature of It, but he Joined with all the extremo tar lfT reformers who wanted to cut down the revenue from customs. If that sen ator had had his way he would 'have* had? 30,000,000 of -bontfll to issue In order .to pay the current expenses of the Government "between that time and 18D7. , I could never follow a leader who would deliberately put this Gov ernment In a position to Increase the national debt to pay its current ex penses. 1 do not believe that a na tional debt is a national blessing. 1 have no sympathy with the men who proclaim themselves advanced reform em, and who, under gul6o of reform, want to Increase tho national debt. Mr. Gorman sakl that under the ex isting tariff law the larger part of the revenue came not from customs, but from internal revenue taxation. The customs did n(>f furnish revenue enough to pay the pensions. "Can . we," ho asked, "reduce the expendi tures? 1 answer, no. You cannot reduce tho expenditures materially. The general expenses of the Govern ment will glow ralher than diminish. Indeed, the Secretary of the Treasury putu tlie expenditures for lSifcj some millions higher than tliosu for 1S95, and he Is quite right in that estimate." Appealing directly to the Republican senators, Mr. Gorman said: "Yon come Into powec on tho 4th of Marcli, 1895. We have removed from your pathway many of tho obstructions. You have, as compared with .our work, little to do. You come with a ma jority in the other House as great as we had therq. You have In this body a majority equal to If not greater than that which we havj. The responsibil ity will bo then, on you. And I say to the senator from. Pennsylvania (Mr. L~Q*My^ -lliAt -Ir. for ouc, will . treat him and his friends in a spirit different from that which l?e hns manifested to us. In any question that affects ths finances of the Government, or that is necessary to prevent the banl^jptcy of the Treasury, or that Is necessary refomi the currency, ^ ? will help you. and you. ought to voCuntecr to help us now." Mr. HIM MUm. Mr. Hill replied to the epeech of Mr. Gormnn, who should, fee Mid, have couHnctl himacll to a, vindication o f hu i>wi) Tonr?4! Instead of trying to put other senators In ?? false position. That senator bad been with hlrr. (Mr. HUI) In hie llfht against soms *4 tba provi sion* of th'j tariff bill. That senator had not fceen alone >u his prediction* of the failure of revenos under the Mil. He Qir. Hill) ha4 also made ft like ptedlcUbfluLJEfc fclA not voted for the tariff Wl? nrkuk fee -^Trf-P ^ faoe I Ions'. y urt the QormHU-Smlth- Wilson A Company 'a bill - anil ln> declined to lx> held iv?pou?4ble by Mr. Gorman o? anybody else for any of the evils which it had indicted on.^io country. He supposed that the linen who voted for a bill should bo responsible for it? not thoso who voted against it. The sen ator from Maryland, Instead of com plaining of the amendment offered to tho urgent deficiency blH should have been glad it afforded him a chance to vindicate himself. lie did not propose now to enter into any discussion about the propriety of the income tax. The distinguished Senator from Maryland had been with him (as he supposed)) when h> made the attack on that provision of the bill, but on one day ? alter he (Mr. Hill) had been absent in the North, he returned to the Senate Chamber, and, presto, change, the Senator from Maryland was for the iniquitous Income tax (sarcasti cally) ? for a period of' live years. (Laughter.) Then Mr. Hill drifted into a reference to Ids attempt to have the rules of tho Senate changed in the lino of cloture, and accused Mr. Gorman with having opposed sueli a change, which would, Mr. Hill said, have enabled us to provide tl?< necessary revenue for the Government. I know, he continued, thnt it is utterly impossible for us to legislate unless these rules are changed. And he referred con temptuously to "the exhibition which *he Senator from Maryland made today, turning round to his Republican friends, and appealing to them, in a piteous man ner, to come and save this side of the chamber. (Tinug'nter in the galleries.'! "I do not," Mr. Hill continued, "join in any such appeal. I would rather ap peal to our friends here ? if we are in the majority. The appeal of the Senator will be in vain. Our friends on the other side opposed this tariff reform Mil, and they do not propose to help us out of our dlftV culties. That is natural. The piteous appeal which the Senator made to them will not find any response on that side of the chamber. In the course of further remarks, Mr. Hill referred to a recent Democratic sen atorial caucus, and said that it had done nothing on the subject of currency re form. , Mr. Pugh (Hem.), of Alabama? That \V#s one of the specified subjects before the caucus. "What. has become of it?" Mr. Hill asked, contemptuously: "is it up in the air. or where is it?" (Laughter.) "The Finance Committee." "Mr. Pugh replied, "did not consider it its duty to act on that subject unti'. it is disposed of hv the House. After action by the House I take it for granted that a com mittee of this body will consider it. and bring It before the Senate. I understand that the Finance Committee is now pon dering ? " "Pondering is good." Mr. Hill inter rupted with^a sneer? "pondering." "Pondering with great carc." Mr Pugh continued, with quiet disregard of Mr. Hill's remarks, "and with a sense of the resposibillties which the Sonatoi\him Self recognizes, because the question i? full <">f complications and difficulties. No party has ever had tho responsibility which is now resting on the "Democratic partv, and no party has ever been able to deal with it without the trouble which now surrounds us." Tn the further course of his speech. Mr. Hill said: "I do not propose today, or in the immediate future, to submit a financial measure. I have my Ideas ot what ought to be done, but unless we have the rules amended so as to be able to pass our legislation, Is it practically useless to present any measure. Mr. Gorman made another short speech in replv to Mr. Hill, denying thnt he had made any "piteous appeal' to the Republican side of the chamber, and asserting thnt no change of the rules would be necessary. There never hno Seen, he said, a measure pending in the Senate looking to ameliorating the con dition of the party, or to advancing their Interest and honor at home and abroad which had not 'been acted upon under the existing rules. .. ? ? Some remaks were made by Mr. Call and the Senate, after a short executive session, adjourned at T?:30 p. m. The Honae. Washington. D. 0., Jan. 14.? At the be ginning or the morning hour Mr. Hatch caHed up the bill making oleomargarim subject to the IjVws of the State Into which it i? Imported, and demanded the previous question on it.

P.v the time a quorum was secured the morning hour had expired. Mr Hatch asked unanimous consent to have the House consider the oleomar geriim bill, but objection was made, ami (lie bill lost its favored place without having reached a vote on its merits. An order from the Committee on TCule* will probably be necessary for the further considQration of the bill.
