Measara, Mr. R.ndall, In his speech In the Heuse en Friday, declared that the passage of the Mllli bill would ruin tbe Industrie et the oeuntry. He asserted that It would Increase Instead of reducing the revenue. He aald : Much hai been said about removing taxee en necessaries and imposing them upon luxuries What dot this bill propeser It aire free olive oil te the epicure and taxes caster oil 97 per cent : It give free Un plates te the Standard Oil company and te the (treat meat canning monopolies and lm poaea a duty or 100 per cent, en rlee ; It gives the sugar trust free bone black and proposes prohibitory duties en grocery grades et sugar ; It imposes a duty Of 40 per cent en the " peer man's " blanket and only 30 per cent, en the Axmlnater carpet of the rich. It admits free of duty the fine animals imported by the gentle men of tbeturf, make free tbe paintings ard etaiusrv of the railway millionaire and oeal btren." Finally Mr. Rtndall explained te the Hense bis relations te the Democratic party. He laid be yielded te no nan en his side of the Heuae In his desire for continued Dsmoeratlc control In the admin istration of the federal government He did net believe the adoption of the oemmlttes'a bill would make such xesult certain, and added : I oannet be coereed into any particular aoilen upon economic questions by the direction of party oaueus. The period et the political caucus hai departed , never te return.awd yet we should confer and have unity If It Is possible. Mr. McKlnley.whe followed Mr.Rtndall, said the Republicans had for years been ready te reduce the inoemes, but they In stated that the Internal taxes should be first red ueed. Free trad e between the states and union was en a basis of reciprocal advan tages. Harmony of laws,of Interests and of destiny justified and required It. Te this, foreign nations oeuld net and should net be admitted. Free trade with foreign na tiens was antagonistic te the fundamental principles of the republic. KENTUCKY'S ELOQUENT BON, Mr, Breckinridge began by saying: "We de net pretend that the bill is scientific measure. It Is a bill framed te meet the present condition, net te fit any particular theory. Tneohanges proposed by tbls bill are designed te give te the farmer, by whom all previsions are raised, a market for his breadstult. and for raw materials, which Is only profitable when he has a prosperous manufacturer for a purchaser; te the laborer, the hope of a constant mar ket; and te the manufacturer, freedom from unnecessary burdens. We have, therefore, put upon the freailst, as faras'we felt It was J ut, the materials necessary for the manufacturer. 'We have reduced the rater, wherever we have toueued them, te a pelut that gives te the home consumer the hope of fair competition whenever a demand may be made by an Internal trust te advsnee the prlees beyond a fair consideration for the article te be sold, and yet we have left the rates se that the protection afforded is greater than any necessity, and makes all competition of foreign manufactures upon terms of great advantage te the American manufacturers. 'It was determined," continued Mr. Breckinridge, "la response te what seemed te be the sentiment et a large part or the country, te propose the repeal of taxes en manufactured tobacco. The committee have thought It wise te repeal se much of the Internal revenue statutes as were net necessary te the proper administration or the system and the collection or the reve nue under It, Our toilet was that te ex empt fruit brandles und alcohol used in hearts was indlrcetly and hypoerltloally, but effectually, te destroy the Internal revenue system ; and, If tbls Is te be done, we preferred te de It or have It done openly, and thus fix the responsibility for It upon these who accomplished it. Thirty years age the American flig was seen In overy pert. All this has been changed ; partly it has been caused by the substitution et the Iren vessel for the wood en vessel, but largely caused by a system of taxation wblcn rendered it Impossible for an American te carry en trade with a foreigner. The annual freight paid en our foreign trade te foreigners b8 been varf. euslv estimated at from (140,000,000 te 200, 000,000. Tbls enormous annual tax, new paid te foreigner, ought te have been ours; and the aggregate sum which we have thrown nwdy in our selfish felly slnce 1885 Is much larger than our publle debt. Tbe advocates of the present tar 111 system ve hemently deny that this gradual and fatal decay has been caused by It, They oannet deny that as a remedy this jiellcy has been wholly IneUioaaleua Since 1860 this decay baa gene en under tbe protective system. Wn can hope for no relief from It." Mr. Breckenrldge then went into along philosophical argument, showing the ad vantage that would accrue from a policy of free trade, and in conclusion said : " Seventy per cent, of the cotton which England turns into finished product and sells all ever the habitable glebe grows neon American soil. Her annual Increase of receipts ever the price that she pays us for our cotton Is net less than (125,000,000. New, this profit from the manufacture of this cotton should be ours. Our citizens ought te take this raw material raised in our field?, turn It into the finished product In tacterles owned by American capital, where American operatives receive the wsgethat would be a Just proportion of the profit of this labor."

By 10.30 this morning all the publle galleries et the Heuse or Representatives were packed te the corridors. It was te be the field day or the session the general tarill debate was te be closed by the giants of both parties Re publican leader Reed and Speaker Carlisle. At 11 o'elock the Heuse was called te order by Speaker Carlisle. By this time the diplo matic and executive galleries were filled, and ilewers adorned Mr. Heed's desk, After the reading of the journal the Heuse went into committee of the whole, with Mr. Springer, of Illinois, in the chair. Mr. Jehu JJ.ber, or Illinois, seenred the fleer te defend his constituents from what he termed the grcss offense heaped upon tnem by the gentleman from Kentucky Mr. Breckenrldge In bis speech yester day, when he referred te the deep damna tion of the political taking off et Mr. Morri son. Mr. Breckenrldge replied, and at IS o'elock Mr. Beed began. He said : Protection is either iu its essence a benefit or a curse. Yeu can net dilute a curae and make It a blessing. RaUbane and water are no mere a feed than rata cane pure. In cidental protection Is a sham. The president is the leader of the Democ racy. One paragraph In hia message covers tbe whole ground et protection and tree trade, and points out the plain duty et tbe Democracy. There 1. but one free trade, and tbe president Is lis prophet. Whoever falls in battle in the ser vied el tbls new Allah aud its prophet for him stall open the shining gates of tbe heaven of foreign missions and federal etll eea. These', law.," he says and he is speaking of tariff laws these laws raise tbe price te consumers of all articles lm. ported and surject te duty by prtexstiy the sum paid ter sueh duties. " Precisely " is tbe weid he uses, and it it a word el tremendous significance. But the corollary which he draws from the vwhe'e aentence is of still mere tremendous significance. If tbe oensumer pays " pre cisely" tbe duty in exoesset tbeprloeef ive imported article, then the president Is Alse right when he says that en all domes domes He f reacted articles tbe consumers pay nearly or quite the same enhaneed mice." Whoever believes tali but hat onehenwt 222.-SIX PAGES. course te pursue. He must demand direct taxation. I de net purpose te defend pro pre pro lectien, ita rest growth, within the last quarter el century defends It better even thea eloquent orations, I asserver ate that protection does aet raise prices. The or posit statement and tee argument which becks It up I purpose te state fairly, for we bow come te the famous revenue-reform dilemma. Yeu tell us, they ear, that protection is for the purpose of enhancing prleee te enable high wegea te be paid aad yet tee say that proteetiea lower prleee. Tale IsCatoeatradlcUoa. Me It U as you state it, But your statement, like all revenue-reform statements, flourishes euly by assumption. In order te make yourself clear, you have utterly emmlttsd the element or time. Yeu assume that we eay that both our statement of higher prices for higher wages and lower prleee for consumers are for the came instant of time. Netee. When you begin there are higher price for higher wages, but when you establish your manufactories, at onee the universal law of competition begins te work.

At home tbe same cause are at work and with redoubled energy because en aoeount of highest wage there are greater Inducements te substitute labor saving devices fur oeatly labor. Oreat applause and prolonged peals et laughter'cenatantly marked the period et Mr. Reed' speech. He eeased speaking at 1:50. A long continued round et applause resounded throughout the ehamber a he stepped talking, and for mere than ten minute he was engaged in taking the pref. tared hands cf his colleagues, a number of senators and a score of hi lwlltieal oppo nent. SPEAKER CARLISLE'S SPEECH. As seen as quiet was restored Speaker Carlisle, who had taken a seat In the centr aisle, en the Democratic aide, rose te ad drees the Heuse, but was prevented from speaking for some minutes by the loud and entbustaatle applause which greeted him en the fleer and in the galleries, Finally, when quiet had again been restored, Mr. Carlisle proceeded with his speeeh. He prefaced bis remarks with a statement that he would net fellow the gentleman from Maine in all his arguments. He could net hear him. He said If protection was wrong, then a tariff or revenue reform was wrong, and we should advocate absolute free trade. I might retort, said the speaker, that if protection was right then absolute protec tion should exist. A Chinese wall should be built around this oeuntry. Protection was carried te its true end in Chins, who had a protective Chinese wall. The gentleman from Maine made no ref erence te the situation that new confronts us the red uet Ien of the customs revenue. Mr. Carlisle then referred te the surplus, every dollar or which, be said, had been wrung from Ibe working men, Uentlemen en the ether side regarded tbe surplus mere as a blessing thsn a curse. There was no flnanelal condition se danger ous te legislative Integrity ai the present one was tbe Inevitable effect was te en courage reckless waste. Se long as a sur plus existed, It was well that It be applied te the payment of the publle deb. It was net right te collect great sums of taxes for tbe payment et tbe unmatured bends et the government. -Having quoted the figure et the late bend purchases, be said that a great sum bsd been paid by the laborer te the bondholder In excess of the Just interest due blm. This was done te get rid el tbe surplus. As the situation steed te-dsy there should be no quarreling about In. significant details, If trouble should come te the business Interests of the oeuntry, protection of tbe few te tbe detriment et tbe many would be te blame ter it. Protectionists, especially from New En gland, had claimed that ruin would fellow the tariff bill of IS 10 He then quoted sta tistics te show that tbe reverse of this had oceurred. He also quoted figures te show that in the years following tbls tariff bill that wages greatly increased, the Inerease of the production of New England factories from 1840 te 18C0 was unprecedented. The manufactures et Mew England in 1800 ex. ceeded these ct the entire Union in I860. It was the manufacturing Interests ei New England which have best reason te appeal for further reduction of the tariff. He pre dicted that If this bill became a law and the effects of tariff reduction were fairly tested, tbe New England representatives would come back te Washington demanding fur ther reduction in tbe interest et all her peo ple. II tbey did net, ether men would be sent in their placer. (Applauta) New England under a low tariff had seen pros perity. Sbe bad seen all ber Interests thrive, but she hsd bad net seen vast for tunes accumulated in a lew years. Speaker Carlisle read at length from tariff reform speeches by Senators Wilsen aud Sumner In 1857. He quoted Senater Merrill as saying thirty years age that a margin el twenty per cent, or protection was all that was required. Resistance was ettered te-day te tue reduction et duties affording three times be protection whleh be then deemed necessary. Gentlemen en the ether side dwelt long and Impressively upon the commere'al de de presiien of 1857. They said less of tbe de pression under high tariff In 1873. Yet the nation arose like an awkward giant and in a few months revived from the distress of 1857, but for five long years strove te re re re oevor from the distress of 1873. He then turned his attention te the ques tion of Internal revenue reduotleu. While tariff receipts greatly lnereased, Internal revenue receipts had been greatly dl mlnl.hed of late years. The internal revenue taxes were new restricted te arti cles whleh could be justly taxed. Many persons see no reason why there should be any reduction el these taxes. Tbe com mittee had decided, however, te defer te the division of opinion en this ubeer, and te deal with taxes el both kinds. Tbe arguments In favor et making the red notion mainly en tariff were overwhelming and conclusive. Yet it be believed that this bill would In juriously afftet any honest Industry In tbls country, bring distress te any class or artisans, or cause disturbance et estab lished business be would hesitate, be would refuse te support the bill; but his conviction was strong and clear that tbla bill was net one te Injure ivnd disturb, but one te stimulate, te benefit and te develop. (Applause). The time had oeme for a revision in tbe inter est of juttlee, ralrness and relief from ex cessive and needless taxation. Tbls was the purpose and the scope of this bill. Mr. Carlisle read extracts Irem speeches el Senater Sherman In 1871 and 1872, con ceding, as he aald, all that was new urged against a high protective tariff, and urging all that was new asked In tariff revision and reduction. These speeches were geed reading, he said, they contained some sound truths and if tbe senator from Ohie would only stand en such a platform new he ought te secure a presidential nomination. In these speeches as In these previously quoted from Senators Sumner and Wilsen, he found utterances which sounded like geed old Democratic doctrine. He did net knew where these principles were mere clearly ststed than they were stated by Senater Sherman in 157 . Iitber, the speaker aald, was paid out of ita own product.
