he understood We're prepared to contest the consttu-
onal right of the Senate TO send to the House bill
of this description. II was money bill and by the
Constitution, all such bills must originate in the

matter admitted OF no question at all Ii ever there
was money bill, this was one. But he should make
no motion, because he knew perfectly well if did,
the previous question would be called, and the mo-
ton voted down. II, however, the gentleman from
