Goggln voting Win the Inaloflty, ol course. J he
ouestion now recurred on reconsideration, but Mr..
Drongooe loco of Va. again moved an ad-
iournment. Mr.. Holmes Calhoun Of S. c. ask
ed to be excused from voting on this motion, as
he desired prompt action on the Tariff question,
and this was motion TO postpone acton. he
was stopped By repeated calls to order, and the
vote taken-Yeas 90 Nays ll2, Holmes voting
Yea Every resource being now exhausted, the
motion TO reconsider had to be put, and was !osf'
as intended by the mover y Yeas, Nteety-nine j;
Nays, One Hundred and Three. So the last
nail was driven in the coffin OF Alchay's bill.
A!c Wheaton of y Y and OF CT. who mad voted
kill the bill! voted TO bring 10 life again. according 10
the sally shay they had pursued through the winter
Me-srs Arlington of y C. md T. Sith OF Ind who had
been absen, before, voted reconsider. while Mesfs
Douglas III. HuHretOrd Of y. Y. and Pratt OF ~ VINO
mad before voted 10 the bill, were absent.
On the o;her side Nler j. Black Loco Of Pa. ". Green
Wing of ~. an! Patterson Wing Of v y. who voted 10
xii the bill! absent, while Nj. GcEr5n. Wing OF
Va and HAYS. Loco OF Pa had come IN 10 vote against e
considering.
Mr.. a. Stewart Wing of Pa. now rose, and
remarked that there mad just been death IN the
House. and it was usual on such occasions for
that body TO adjourn. He moved accordingly
that the House do now adiourn-whlch prevailed.
So the bill is dead, dcad, DEAD.
We rejoice that this destructive bill, directly
calculated to cripple and paralyze American In
dustry--to throw the country back into the
pecuniary and industrial abyss from which 1t has
slowly and surely extrcatcd itself-has been
killed in the House, because we regard this as a
palpable confession Of judgment by Loco-Foco-
ism on the main issue before the People. No
measure of the last Wing Congress has b. IN more
unsparingly abused and misrepresented than the
Tariff Of 1912. 1t has been held up to the Peo-
pie as measure framed to aggrandize the Rich at
the expense Of the Poor to secure fortunes to
the Manufacturers at the expense of the Farming
intercst-to increase the price Of all the Poor mast
buv and reduce that of whatever they have to
sell, &c. sc. Mr.. Van Buren, himself has placed
himself record as "opposed to the present Tariff,
both in principle and detail." And now, after
whole winter OF preparation and og-rong, after
the best talent of the party has been put in re-
QUESTION to frame substitute which could be got
through the House, and caucus after caucus has
been held 10 drill the party in 10 support it, we
see this bill knocked in the head in House
almost two to one against the Wings! tpenty-
eight Van Buren Members voting against ii =
Could there be more emphatic tribute to the
excellence of the present Tarif-a more decisive
answer to the defamatons of its adversaries p
But for this VIC would have preferred to see Nc
Hays bill worried through the House, andinto the
Senate, where a solid phalanx of Trenty-Nine
Wing Senators stood ready TO nail it to the table
the moment Its ll.looking phiz became visible
But the verdict is more significant as it is.
This result shows the Importance Of polling
every vote. This bill has been defeated in the
House by Wing Members chosen since Congress
assembled from Districts before supposed 10 be
Loco Foco-Clinch OF Ga. Morse OF Me. Pollock
of Pa. and two or three from Maryland.-' What
use to contest2 says faint hean the Loco
Focos have an overwhelming majority any how
But the Wings did contest, and the result is the
most decisive Wing victory gained in Congress
since the Sub Treasury was laid on the table.
