Original Bill
Washihcitok, July 19. Intense Interest
waa created by Wllsoii't announcement In
tlie House today that lie had a letter fro
President Cleveland which the latter bad
permitted to be made public. The letter was
read amid profound silence: It waa In the
president's Vigorous style and was a stir-
dug tribute to the Wilson bill, and a direct
blow at any surrender to the senate bill
In his letter to Wilson, Cleveland says he
cannot rtd himself of the feeling the tariff
conference will present the best. If not the
only hope of true democracy. The bill in
tts preseut form, he declares falls far short
of the consummation for which the party
labored, and "our abandonment of the
cause or principles upon which it rests
means perfidy or party dishouor," He con'
tinues:
"It mast be admitted no tariff measure
can accord with democraUo principles and
promises or bear the genuine democratic
badge that does not provide for free raw
materials. In these circumstance it may
well exoite our wonder that democrats are
willing to depart from this most demo
oratic of all tariff principles and that the
inconsistent absurdity of such a proposed
departure should be emphisised by the sug
gestion that the wool of the farmer be put
on the free list, and the protection of tariO
taxation be placed around the iron ore and
coal of the corporations and capitalists.
How can we face the people after indulging
in such outrageous discriminations and vi
olations of principles? It is quite appar
ent that this question of free raw material
does not admit of adjustment on any mid'
die grounds, since their subjection to any
rate of tariff taxation, great or small, is
alike a violation of democratic principle
I hope you
will not consider it intrusive if I say some
thing in relatiqn to another subject, which
can hardly fail to be troublesome to the
conference. I refer to the adjustment of

confess to sharing in this feeling and yet it
seems to me we ought, if possible, suf

enable us to coolly weigh the considerations
which, in formulating tariff legislation,
ought to guide onr treatment of sugar as a

be entertained for trusts, and while I am
decidedly opposed to granting them, under

further their particular methods, I suggest

principle and policy we may indirectly and

I do not believe that we should do evil that

Gorman Attacks the President,
Wash i kotow , July 3S. When the presi
dent's letter to Wilson was taken up in the
senate tins morning touching upon the
tariff bill, Senator Gorman (dem) of Mary
land addressed the senate. He said:
"Mr President, the infamous calumnies
heaped on the heads of the senate forces
from me a plain , unvarnished statement
I will make it with malice toward none,
but will look my colleagues and the Ameri
can people In the eye and tell the truth. In
patriotism the democratic senate had gone
to work to save the couutry and continue
the party in power, when suddenly, in the
midst of the stmgglo, came the president's
letter.
"It was the most uncalled for, most ex
traordinary, most unwise communication
that ever came from a president of the
Unitod States. It placed this body In a po
sition where its members must see to it that
the dignity and honor of this chamber be
preserved. It places me in the position
where I must tell the story as it occurred."
Gorman then proceeded to detail the
manner in which, to meet the objections
and secure the support of certain disaffected
democrats, the change had been agreed
upon. lie stated emphatically that during
this work Vest and Jones had frequent con
ferences with Secretary Carlisle, and often
with Cleveland himself. He drew from
his desk and had read an interview with
Secretary Carlisle on April SO, in which the
secretary gave the same bill his sweeping
indorsement. Gorman then led up to one
of the most dramatic episodes of the day
the summoning of Vest, Jones and Harris
as witnesses to his statement that the pres
ident approved the senate compromise by
making the following remarks:
Such waa the declaration of the secre
tary of the treasury that the statement
from him hail probably a wonderful effect.

"One more question," said Vilas. "Did
not the president express the hope at all
times that coal and iron would be on the
free list?"
"At all times, but it was the expression
of hope that the circumstances would per
mit realisation,"
Gorman next summoned Mr, Harris who
left the presiding officer's olialr for the pur
pose of tttsliflytng as a witness. Harris
stated that in conversation with Clevelund
he (Harris) had been led to conclude that
the prvsldeut favored the passage of the
compromise senate bill, not beoause he ap
proved of it, but because it was the best
that could be secured.
Gorman then resumed.
"As I have satd, this is an extraordinary
proceeding, for a democrat, elected to the
highest place in the government, to traduce
the senate of the United States, to blacken
the characters of senators who are as hon

them. As it was a compromise measure,

As Gorman made reference to the presi
dent there was a commotion in the galler
ies, which compelled the presiding officer
to impose constant cautions against further
demonstration. Gorman next turned his
attention to Senator Hill's speech endors

Gorman, "was a Godsend to the senator
from New York. It was the only comfort
he had from this administration." (Laugh

Gorman asserted the New York senator
had throughout attempted to thwart his
party. Never before since the Declaration
of Independence had the president of the
United States been guilty of such a viola-
tun of the spirit of tha constitution as had
Cleveland in writing his letter to Chairman
Wilson. Gorman hud Blackburn read an
extract from Washington's farewell ad

broad rtatement. I call npon the two gen

be dlihonorable to tax coal and Iron. The
bouse, parrot-like, repeated the cry. Men
who set up high standards should come to
us with clean hands."
He said that the bouse, if it bad been
contistent, would have placed all raw ma

other raw materials which the house had
placed a duty on. He denied that it was

Into the counterfeiting busiuess. At
the lust session of the legislature th
stale auditor, governor and treasurer
were authorized, if they deemed it
necessary, to issue treasury warrants
iu denominations of $5, The issue
was limited to 1200,000. It was the
intention to have the warrants pass as
money all over the slate. To tide
over the financial difficulties the state
auditor sent an order to a St. Loui
engraving house for 150,000 of the
warrants and they were immediately
put in circulation in Mississippi. But
no sooner was this done than papers
were served on the proper authoriliti
requiring them to return all warrants
together with the diet from which
they were made to the United States
secret service bureau at Washington
on the ground that it was counterfeit

lawsot the United citatee. The result
will be closely watched.
In speaking of the railroads the

to be hoped that the next legislature
will give the people relief from rail

the president's letter in so far as it demands
that the party shall not be led estray into
the violation of democratic pledges and

materials the president ia right, and you
know it. You cannot answer his argu
ments. You cannot successfully dispute
bis propositions. You cannot doubt hi
sincerity and patriotism. You must yield
in the end to his views. You cannot stand
up against the sentiment of the great dem
ocratic masses of the country which will
rally around the president in his contest
with yon upon this particular branch of the
subject. The tiae to yield is now, before
there is further humiliation, embarrass
ment and discord.
"Mr. President, having demonstrated
that the true democratic theory of revenue
reform requires that free raw materials
should be its distinguishing feature, let ns
now inquire what is the condition which
now confronts ns. The senate bill, which
was passed, violates this democratic theory
and while it reduces the duties on iron,
coal, lead, and some other raw materials,
from those imposed under the McKinley
Jaw, and in that respect is commendable.
it, nevertheless, imposes some duties there
on and thereby fails to redeem our pledges,
It is not a question of the amount of duties
which may be imposed. A question of
principle is at stake, and a single penny's
duty violates our promises and places us in
a false position. Tbe president well says
there can be no compromise on a matter of
this character, where tbe vital principle is
at stake.
Tbe house of representatives, fresh from
the people, which represents more distinctly
and peculiarly than we do the taxing power
of the people, repudiates our bill, and a
democratic president has emphisised that
repudiation, and the condition which con
fronts us is one of extreme embarrassment.
