The house immediately considered
these resolutions, and referred them 70
q committee Of the whole on the ststeo y
the union. = -. AZ
Mr.. Varnam deserved that considera-
bic light would be thrown on the extent
to which colonial products were sxpor-
ted from the u. S. bya statement Of the
amount Of exports for which drawbacks
were allowed. He therefore, moved
the following resolution: #
Resoiued, That th5 secretary Of the
treasury be directed to lay before this
house statement ofthe amount Or the
revenue derived to the u. s. from mer-
chandize, the growth. product. or manu-
facture Of any foreign country, which
have heretofore been imported into the
u. S. and exported from the same dut-
ing the three last yearsss-- 81
This resolutio, was agreed to.
The house again resolved itself into a
committee Of the whole-Mr. John c.
Smith in the chair-on the bill impos-
ing duty Of ten dollars on every slave
imported into the U. States.
Mr.. Jackson offered a new section,
the object Of which was to prohibit the
importation into the territories of the u.
States, of al slaves brought either from
abroad, or from any, state, except in the
latter case by citizens Of the U. States
removing to a territory to settle therein.
Mr.. Jackson viewed this provision as
necessary in consequence Of q legal con-
struetion given to IN act Of the lsSt ses-
zion, which allowed the importation Of
slaves from abroad into Louisiana.
This motion was opposed by Messrs.
Alsson, Ely, Morrow, 1Spaldag. and
Sloan, who either viewed It as inexpe-
dent in itself or As proper to be intro
duced1into distinct bill.
- Mr.. Jackson said, IS it was the wish
Of bis friends, he would withdraw the
motion. and offer it ON another occasion.
No farther amendments having been
offered. the committee rose and repor-
ted their agreement to the bill.
The house Immediately eonsidered
the repors.
The amendment limiting the importa-
lion Of the tax TO the 6rs, day Of January,
1908, was disagreed TO and the other
amendments agreed to.
