So the Senate agreed to strike out the
highest rate of duty on wOollen manufactured
goods !; this vote leaves these articles subject
by the provisions of the bill, to duty Of so
per cent ad valOrem, until the 50th day Of
June, 1925 and, after that time, to Il duty Of
SIS is per cent ad valorem.
Mr.. Chandler thenImoved to amend The bill,
by excepting Russia, Hollands and Ravens
Duck, from the duty of % per centum ad va
lorem, imposed by the bill, upon all manufac
lures of cotton, silk, flax, or hemp; and 10
subject those articles TO certain specific duties.
Some remarks were made, upon thus propo-
Smith, Mills, and Hayne.
MIR. Hayne observed that he should vote a
gainst the motion, because he thought there
were other articles of equal importance, which
ought to be excepted, and which were, on
principle, equally entitled TO exemption. Mr..
III. repeated, that he would give his support to
proposition tO strike out the whole section,
or TO exempt from its operation all articles of
prime necessity, IN which any part of the coun-
try is deeply interested. But surely the gem
tleman from Maine could not expect ID have
the bill moulded SD as to suit his own views,
and the peculiar interests of his own state,
while he refuses 10 csnsult the interests of o.
theirs.
The question was then put, and the amend
ment was disagreed To, Is members voting in
the affirmative, and 81 in the negative.
MIR. Hayne then moved to amend the BILL
in the following clause On all manufac-
lures, not herein specified, of cotton, silk, flax
or hemp, or of which either of these materials
shall be component part, duty of twenty
FIVE per centum ad ,alprem," by striking out
therefrom the words .. fur or hemp"
Mr.. II. said, he made this motion to redeem
a pledge which he had heretofore given. If il
prevailed, duck, sheeings. and osnaburgs,
would be equally protected; and articles of
prime necessity, which we are not prepared to
tax; tax which would produce great incon-
vepience to the people.
The question on Mr.. Haynes amendment.
was then put and determined in the negative,
by Yeas and Nays, as follows:
YEAS-Messrs. Barbour Branch, Clayton,
Elliott, GailIard, Hayne, Holmes, of Maine,
Holmes, Of Mississippi, II. johnson, of Lou

So the Senate refused to exempt articles
manufactured of far or hemp, from the pro-
posed duty.
Mr.. Macon then moved to amend the hill
by striking out the following clause " On
cotton bagging four and a half cents per square
yard"
This motion gave rise to some discussion ;
in which Messrs. Macon, Johnson Of Ken.
Holmes, of Maine, Talbot, Smith, and Benton,
participated.
The question was then put, and decided in
the negative, by Yeas and Nays, as follows.
YEAS-Messrs. Barbour, Branch, Clayton,
Elliott, Gaillard, Hayne, Holmes, of Miss. II.
