When tbe MeKlnley tariS Mtt a before

democrats declares that the increased duties
it imposed npsn certain articles which it wa
by the republicans desired to protect in onr
own country would result ia aa Increase of

tae matter ot republican wisdom to bear Mr.
M'Milan of Tennessee and other democrats
in tbe hou < ie cm Wednesday and Thursday
last , in tbelr speeches loctnrine the dem
ocrats against extravarance , declare tbat
tbe adoption of the last tariff law bad
reduced the incomes of the government so
m-cb at to require rind economy. They not
citl7 inveighed against tbe work of tbis dem
ocratic bouie iu the matter ot appropriations ,
which navb already far exceeded those of the
"billion-dollar " but warned

expenditures which it would not bare tbe

It U true tbat tbe increases of duties upsn

lactorod in this country and some ol them

unable to overcome tbe difference in pnce

Except t&rougb the exchange offered by

goods of consumption. But it was uncle
some to note the admissions as to tne revenues
which the democrats in tbe bouse nad to

Tbe democrats in tbis congress have all bad

National ItKiiUiuc Laws.
A bill which has just bc-ea n-ported from
