Governor
a Free Trade
Delivers
Speech.
Denver, yeb. 6. Governor Waite de
livered a free trade- speech before the
woolgrowjere' convention this morning.
He declared all tariff laws to be vicious,
but if the country cannot exist without a
law of this Mnd he thought all articles
should be taxed alike. He declared the
only feature of the Wilson bill worthy of
serious consideration to be the income
tax clause, which he feared would be
killed before the bill became a law.
At the conclusion of the governor's re
marks resolutions were adopted denounc
ing th,e theory of free trade and all repre
sentation made for it that its passage will
benefit the masses as untrue and unjust,
as under such a law over 1,000,000 wool-
growers of this country will be ruined
while only 1,000 woolen manufacturers
can be benefited. They further repre
sent that free wool will not cheapen
clothing but will deprive American labor
ers 6f anoppdrnmity to earn his daily
bread; declares for free coinage of silver
and for the retirement of all membors of
congress opposed to the protection of this
industry.

bill was passed.
After the call of committees for reports
the Hawaiian debate was resumed, Mr.
Outhwaite (Dsm., O.) taking the floor in
support of the McCreary resolution.
Ho took the position that Minister
Stevens, in ordering ths troops ashore at
the time of the revolution, had been
guilty of an act of war; that in betraying
the government to which he had been ac
credited he had been guilty of treachery,
sod that in scheming with the sugar in
terests to overthrow a weak monarchy
with o view to annexation he had been
truiltvof cowardice. He analyzed tho
events of the revolution itself to show Mr.
Stevens' seal on behalf of the revolution
ists. Ths subsequent attempt to rush
the Hawaiian islands into the United
States, he said, wero ma'rked by mock
heroism at Honolulu and mock patriotism
in Washington.
Mr. Outhwaite challenged the produc

prove that Mr. Cleveland, in the inaugu
ration of a policy which had for its pur
pose the righting of a national wrong,
ever contemplated the use of force.

Washington, Jan. 81. The internal
revenue bill was placed as a rider upon
the tariff bill Wednesday afternoon by a
vote of 173 to 44. The entire day was
spent in the consideration of amend-'
ments offered to the various internal
revenue features. The principal fight
came np on Aie proposal to increase ths
tax upon whisky from 90 cents to tl and
extend ths bonded period from three to
to eight years.
Washington, Jan.31. The entire time
of the senate Wednesday was consumed
in the discussion of Senator Stewart's
resolution declaring the secretary of the
treasury has no power to issue the bonds.
Washington, Feb. 1. The principal
speeches in the senate Thursday wero
made by Senators Stewart and Allison,
both of whom contended the secretary of
the treasury had no power to issue bonds
for other purposes than redemption.
Washington, Feb. 1. At 6 o'clock
Thursday night, at tho close of one of the
grandest, most imposing and most im
pressive scenes ever witnessed in the
American Capitol, the Wilson tariff bill
passed the house of representatives by a
vote of 204 to 140.
At 12 o'clock, after a preliminary
skirmish of an hour over the barley
schedule, the bill was reported to the
house and the closing speeches were
made.
Then for three hours the oratory of the
champions of the two economic systems
followed Reed, Crisp and Wilson
while their partisans made the air vocal
with their shouts of approval. The ap
pearance of the speaker of the house
upon the floor engaged in debate was in
itself a remarkable as well as an unusual
thing. Each of the speakers seemed to
be in his best form and the speeches
which they delivered will rank among
best and most brilliant of their lives.
When these were finished Mr. Wilson,
who spoke last, was lifted to the should
ers of his admiring colleagues and car
ried from the hall, amid a scene of un
matched enthusiasm.
When it cams to the voting the victory
of the measure was overwhelming. The
vote upon the income tax proposition
(taken in connection with the internal
revenue amendment) stood 183 to 50.
Only 12 Republicans voted upon this
proposition, seven for and five against.
The Democratic opposition amounted to
45. The last effort was made by those
Democrats who are opposed to the meas
ure in whole or in part, led by Mr. Co
vert (N. Y.) to recommit the bill, but the
Republicans refused to join in this at
tempt to scotch the measure and it ended
in dismal failure. But 86 Democrats
voted for it, not even enough to secure
the ayes and nays, a record making vote,
The vote upon the final passage of the
Diu was a surprise. Ami a tne most in
tense enthusiasm, Democrat after Demo
crat who had been counted upon to voto
against the measure, like Blanchard,
Beltzhoover, Boatner, Cockran, Coombs,
Dunn, English, Geissenhainer, McAleer,
Ryan and others, recorded their votes in
the affirmative.
Only 17 Democrats of all the boasted
Democratic opposition to the measure
stood out to the end and voted against it.
Washington. JreD. vs. xno oeoate on
the Hawaiian matter began in the house
Friday under a special order which will
bring it to a vote Monday at 4 o'clock.
The adoption of the order was preceded

of the latter excepted to by the house
and subject him to censure.

and corporations bidding for United

Beainnlne of a Contest Between the Sonne
and Senate.
Washington, Feb. 6. The action of
the house committee on public lands yes
terday in refusing to report favorably
bill sent over from ths senate granting a
certain amount of the proceeds of the
sals of public lands for -the school of
mines will probably be the beginning of
a contest between the house and senate
in the matter of land legislation. The
senate committee on public lands is made
up of western'meir. In ths house there
are a great many western men on the
committee, but they do not come from
the mining states or from those states
where the great bulk of public lands are
now located. There have been several
measures proposed by these senators, and
approved by the senate committee,
which will probably not receive favor
able consideration by the house. The
scheme of the senators will be to attach
this legislation to some of the appropria
tion bills and then will come the real
contest between the house and senate
over land legislation. It is probable that
the Western senators will try to get
through several bills m this way which
they think: will be of importance to their
constituents.

strike: "The miners are very unreason

with 10 hours pay. We have dry mines
and pay 3 for nine hours work, while at
Lsadville and other mountain camps
men work in wet mines for 2.50 to $3
for a day of 10 hours. I will not be dic
tated to and if the men are not satisfied
with my terms, I will close down every
mine I have In the camp and keep them
closed, until I can run them peaceably
and on my own terms, even if it takes
me five years to do it."
