This, he said, was known at the time to a gentleman who has since been ex alted to the bench. Mr. Mayfield made public the Elate already made for Slate officials, ad he said, and gave voice to other things of more than general interest. Senator McLaunn, in addition to bis usual tariff speech preface it with some free stiver arguments Former Governor Evans •tuck to his free trade arguments.

He advised that tbe Conserva tives had better select a man that bad been true to one party or faction. Mc- Laurin’s political pathway, he declar ed, was strewn with tbe bones of bis friends. He will that he opposes the dispensary, but he favors Til man’s bill. Tbe Tlllmanjblil would never*have2pass- ed tbe Senate had McLaurin objected. It was a rule of tbe Senate 'that unani mous consent is necessary for local measures. What was McLaurin’* posi tion then on tbe dispensary ? be asked.

Mr. Wheeler (Dem.) of Alabama opened the debate for- tbe Democrats, criticising tbe bill as tbe most vicious and burdensome ever imposed on the American people. One of tbe greatest demonstrations of the debate occurred when Mr. Lan- bam (Dem.) of Texas, who followed, paid a tribute to W. J. Uryan.

The vote on tbe wool question wan, be said, unwarranted, aad could not be justified by It being a personal vote. McLaurin Is a high Protection ist, In theory if not In practice. Tbe farmers were to pay for these duties, aud Mr. McLaurin was not represent ing bis people in hit tariff views. Then McLaurin was in favor of tbe Tillman dispensary bill. If this bill passes the State can always have a dispensary law. He wjtoted the State to get out of the liqudr business and to get out of tbe traffic as soon as possible. Mr. Mayfield gave bis views on tbe liquor question at lentfth. He said wbat be wanted was full re ports In the dally press.

The papers were carried to the clerk's deek. The reeding of the formal re port was dispensed with at the request of Mr. Dingley and the statement of the effect of the changes read. Mr. Bailey, the leader of the minor ity, disclaimed before tbe reading be gan, any responsibility for the state ment, which, he said, the minority has had no opportunity to read. At the conclusion of tbe reading of the state ment Mr. Dingley took the floor. Be fore be began his speech be said he de sired, If possible, to enter into an agree ment with the minority as to the length of time debate should run. Mr. Bailey said tbe mieority would like three days, but knowing that such time could not be obtained be would be willing to alio# the debate to run today and to morrow, with provision .for a vote be- fo*w ad toursmwal tomorrow. *> [.tfley, ta reply, said he was ool ~ to agree lo Mr Bailee s afov tow s towasi mw ■putotoaa * li is naif ■WWW tow ■iM m swfftoUW sadw smswswavy as to a ism i aw IM tram ! wry rsmirSs tw had ear ms wa v As vw uto'hahiw m M may s»ip»ar aftor ai teal war Kwpwhilnws friwwda have said IM irwaaery rwpuru show that Isstoae i ^ ^ trm 9 of forwigs compwUttoe tncrwasiag satfer ^ p the prueeal taw.

"Another more practical but lem potent reason why tne Republican party cannot undt rtake In earnest to suppreM these hurtful combinations of capital Is that Its VMtand complicated scheme of taxation for private pur poses Is maintained by the active and financial support of those who have personal and business connections with these trusts ; and as you rely upon tbe votes, tbe influence and the campaign subscriptions of 'trusts, it is unreasou- able to suppose that you will deny them a participation in tde profits of a sys tem which they have helped to fasten upon the country. We have sufficient and abundant proof of this fact In the pending bill, which gives to the sugar trust a pure gratuity which experts estimate at no less than $4,000,000 an nually. “ I am not willing to charge in this high place that the Ripubilcan party hm sold Its Intellect and conscience to tbe sugar trust and I prefer to believe that It bas been driven by the logic of lUpoatiu.a to the M«:alaoce ol aopwly that bas grown to bold uader Its Ul orivtisgus that It soaadnli to M rwwsww |M yartotoam » W •ww S • 4 X * I WW tow gartg was mahtag ww ruaraMs toe •rwuausw aai iwawrMi fo * Mwrawvsr.

Mr. Bailey got the fi.jor after Mr, McMillan finished, long enough to say that when be CMt tbe votes referred to bv Mr. McMillan tbe endorsed doctrine of his party was free raw material and as a loyal Democrat he supported its platform declarations. He now held a commission from the Democracy to op pose that doctrine and he should do so. It was now after 11 o’clock. Mr. Fayneand Mr. DingK-y, successively, took the floor for some closing remarks Trusts, he said, could not be eradicated by epithets. The way to break down tbe trusts, said be, is to establish a beet sugar factory in every Congres sional district in tbe country and make competition. That is the way to clip tbe wings of tbe trust.
