KANSAS CITY, April session of the commercial congress Friday was quite boisterous, growing out of the debate on the resolutions E.

A. V. Smalley, chairman of the Minnesota delegation, denounced the congress as a democratic machine, ark left the hall with his delegation. After the introduction of the majority repon of the committee on resolutions, the minority report was presented. A synopsis is as follows: It opposes a tariff for revenue, believing that such a would bo levied on tea, cofloe, sugar and other articles which we most largely Import for general use and recommends tout the government should hold fast to the American principle of a moderate protec tion to American Industry; and deolttree In favor of a fair trial of the presenl law with rec proctty and In favor ol a non-partisan tariff commission to Inquire Into the working of labor and all Industrial callings, including agriculture, with a view to the eqult- able'adjustment of tariff schedules from time to The minority further favors the free unlimited coinage oC American silver and gold, whieh w.uld make the silver dollar and the gold dollar or eg.ua! purchasing power in all markets of the world; favors the holding of an international monetary convention to establish such a ratio and secure its acceptance by all commercial nations of the world, but until such ratio can be 90 established opposes the unlimited coinage of silver Into the present legal tender dollar; believing that such a course would drive gold out of circulation, lower the standard value, contract the present volume of the circulating medium and seriously cripple our foreign trade.

Mr. Smalley, of Minnesota, rose to a question of personal privilege. He said the congress had degenerated into a democratic powwow, and as a nonpartisan candidate he desired to resign as chairman of the committee on reso- Mr. Smalley explained his course and withdrew from the congress.
