with the Committee without division.

of the voter was excluded by the Committee, because
notice that it would be taken at one place,

Mr. CALDWELL replied that ne would submit the
whole matter TO the House. He had in the beginning
proposed the returned member to waive all techni
cality and informally. He declined the request and
mad availed himself of every informality which he
could seize upon. He, (Nr. c. had lost several good
votes on account of mere techncaity, and the rule
which had been made to operate against him, ought to
operate for him, when 1t was bad rule,
which did not work both ways.
A good deal of discussion ensued, in which the va

tended that the land books of authority with

Government could only be afforded to objects Of i'm
provement in three ways; by making road or canal,
and assuming jursdction-by making road or canal
without assuming jurisdiction leaving it to the States
or by making appropriation without doing either.

either

His opinions the TARrrF-Gcneral Harrison s
support of Tariff for protection has been uniform. a
few instances and little authority must suffice:
$50 far did he carry his support Of high Tariff,
that in 1927 he voted in the Senate Of the u States
againt reducing the duty on Coffee almost necessary
Of life to the people, among Ii nays, to reduction
Of from to cents per pound-and he was also among
nays, to reduction of the duty on Teas He capped
the climax of voting for the last high Tariff of 1923;
and under no duress from any instructions from the
Legislature of Ohio
In June, 1881, he delivered Speech in Ohio, in
which he says:
at has been uniformly asserted by the opponents of
the Tariff that the establishment of manufactures here
would destroy the markets of produce abroad But
when has II BEEN that any foreign power would take
from us any article but from necessity When they have
no bread of their own raising, they receive our flour
At present, have two markets. one at home, which
we have created for ourselves; and the other abroad
which circumstances have If we had not crea
ted home Market and circumstances had not created
one for us abroad, we should have market for
products and they would be rottng our hands,
they were few years since Ibclieve that not one
of the evils which were predicted from the Tariff have
happened, and that not of the advantages which
were promised from it. but have been realized; and
thing but the folly Of abandoning it, can bring back
to the hard times through which we have passed.
Again, so devoted is he to this policy that he de-
clares he will only modify repeal the tariff:
"Whenever the streets of Norfolk and Charleston
"shal be covered with grass and Southern friends
find no market for their produce and this state of things
can be distinctly traced to the tariff
This is surely enough; and must compress.
