CONGRESS-.

Mr.. Simmons continued and concluded mas
terly speech upon Mr.. McDufie's bill in the SEN
ate on Thursday. Much of his argument, espe-
ciay the first part Of it, was sustained by tables,
which, though interesting to none but such as
followed him in his chain of argument link by
link, and step by step, were extremely powerful !;
and if correct, as we have not the slightest
doubt they are, having been made with great care
and caution, they arc unanswerable, and prove
beyond the possibility Of contradiction his asser-
tion that it was much the interest of the plant
ers of the South to maintain the protective policy
and to give encouragement to home manufactures
and home industry, as it was the interest of the
manufacturers and farmers of the North.
He answeredand refuted many of the argu-
ments and positions of Mr.. McDuffie and spoke
with feeling and true eloquence of the effect
which would be produced at the North by an
abandonment of the policy under which our coun-
try had enjoyed an unexampled degree of pros
perity, and which was now restoring her from a
state Of prostraton and paralysis to one of hap
piness and vigor.

| and 1908. warmly recommended the encouragement
of manufactures. In 1906, speaking OF a probable
surplus of revenue, he puts the question, Shall zoe
suppress the inpos and gipe the advantage to foreign
op.r domestic manufactures 2" And in 1905 he sug-
gests, that, by prshibtory duties, they will become
permanent"
(2) As early as 1894, Mr.. Madison, then member
of Congress, submitted to that body series of
United States, which framed in strict conform
ty with the retaliatory policy recommended by Mr..
Jefferson in his commercial report. They proposed
to lay specific duties different branches of manu-
factures-o retaliate all the restrictions which were
imposed by other nations, whether on the commerce
the navigation of the United States either by the
like restrictions tonnage duty
The resolutions were supported by Mr.. Madison,
on the ground that for the United States to permit
free trade, while she acquesced in the restrictions of
Great Britain, would be to give British vessels the
whole of foreign trade. In recognizing the doc
trine Of free trade Mr. Madison insisted on its excep-
tons, and referred to the of the navigation
act of Great Britain proof of the wisdom of making
such exceptions.
In the discussion on this subject, the Southern
States advocated the imposition of counteryailing
duties-Northern policy stood in opposition. The
doctrine of Tree trade was then condemned by
Southern policy. This position Mr. Madison never
abandoned he always insisted upon the same excep-
tons to the rule of free trade upon great considera-
tons of national policy.
commercial laws, to protect and foster several
branches of manufactures; and, in his messages Of
1910, 1911, 1915, and 1916, he warmly recommends
tine whole system to the consideration Of Congress.
(3) Mr.. Monroe in 1917: "Our manufactures will
revuire the continual attention of Congress. The
| capital employed in them is considerable, and the
knowledge in the machinery and fabric of all the
more useful manufactures is of great value Their
preservation, which depends due encouragement,
is connected with the interest of the country"

DESTRUCTION OF CoTroN BY FIRE.-As the
steamer Hamburg, belonging to the Iron Steam
boat Company, was coming down the river from
Augusta on Friday last, with two tow-boats,
heavily laden with cotton, when about 70 miles
above the city, one of the packs was discovered
to be on fire, probably caused by spark from
the smoke pipe. The wind blowing heavily at
the time, the whole mass was soon enveloped
IN fiames and so rapid was the progress of the
lire, that 1t was with extreme difficulty that the
steamer, with the other tow-boat, succeeded in
getting clear of the burning mass. The tow
boat, and whole load of cotton, COS bales,) with
the exception Of some seven or eight bales, was
entirely consumed. The cotton was consigned
to various merchants in this city, and we are
informed was insured in Augusta. Loss esti-
mated at $20,C00.-Sauannah Repub of The 25fh.
