tins bill.
Mr. Scvicr-"Ordcrw
Mr. Webster Who says Ordcr2'
Mr. Scvier-~ say Order
Mr. Wcbstct-"Whcrc's the disor
dcr!"
Mr. Scvicr-l,Non reflected upon the
purposes Of the Committee"
Mr. WcbStcr.-Ccrtnlnly | did. 1t
is The purpose of the Committee to pass
Tins bill Isn't it? Great laughter. |
hope the Senator from Arkansas will
not call me TO order for stating the
truth.
When the bill is held uptothcco un-
try, nobody need write "Dcmocracv"
at the bottom of IT, 1t was an aristo
cratic measure throughout.
The Committee of Finance come TO
the Senate this morning, after n late
adjournment last night, and said they
had not time 10 act upon the instruct
IONS ofthe Senate. They didnot know
what raw material was. lie did not
believe any gentleman was so rae as
that upon the Committee. The truth
was, the Committee had not examined
the question at all, MS he believed
lie did not believe that they had been
together one hour, or ten minutes. He
believed, indeed, that theNhad not met
at all Great laughter in which Mr.
Benton, one of the Finance Committee
joined most heartily,
Mr. McDullic said that the strong
language of the Senator made it ncccs-
sary that he should reply. He denied
that the bill was arlStocratlc at all
The duties were reduced upon salt and
sugar, and the mlnlmums were taken
from cottons. The agriculture of the
country was protected by the bill 1t
was reported that the labor of the coun-
try would be affected by the bill, and
this Mr. McDuilic said, was nut A
SMALL MATTER. The gentleman
seemed disposed to defend the bill be-
fore the Senate, as if there were no la
borcrS but the three hundred thousand
engaged in manufactures. He believed
that ten farmers would be benefited by
this bill, to one man laboring in mines
or workshops, who might be benefited
He expected that fifteen millions OF
grain would 90 to England under Sir
Robert Pecl'S magnificent bill, and
that the bill before the Senate would
Weld more revenue than the Tariff OF
1912.
MIR Simmons came after Mr. McDuf
Gc with statistics and facts, piling one
upon another until Mr. McDufiic really
was puzzled to know the argumcntshC
had made.
Mr. Archer made a few remarks
lie wished to know why this question
involved the issue upon the bill, and
he put it to the country to remember
the state of facts under which this bill
was to be passed. IL was admitted
that the bill was emlnently defective
and that a majority of the committed
were determined to thrust it upon the
country.
The question was then loudly callct
for upon dlscharging the Commtte,
of Finance from the bill The follow
ing is the vote to discharge the Com.
