The House then went into committee of the whole (Mr. Springer, of Illinois, la the chair,) on the tariff MIL Mr. llaugen (Wis.) concluded his speech in oppo sition to the bill. He criticised It as being political in Its features, In that It but slightly interfered with democratic sugar, nee, iron, coal and whisky, while It selected republican wool, lumber and gar den product* upon which to try the experiment of free trade. Mr. Townshend (111.) spoke in support of the MIL The Issue presented by It, lie said, had often been misstated in the debate. The issue was not be tween protection and free-trade. No one insisted that this was the issue, except some desper ate Western republicans, who were forced by the party lash to betray their constituents by opposing a measure which would bring relief to the people from the curse of unjust and excessive taxation.
