THE TARIFF. " y
The House resumed the consideration
of the Resolutions relative to the Tariff
in Committee of the Whole, Mr.. GRAY iip
the Chair. gO
MIR. Hill, Montgomery defining his
position, and dccIaiming his intention to
vote for the amendment of the gentleman
from Westmoreland, (Mr. BurreII.) 80
Mr.. Knox said that members were.
generally agreed as to the business of the
principles embodied in the first resolution
of the gentleman from Wesstmoreland.- -
He subscribed to them, but objected to
the resolution of instruction attached TO
them. We have three distinct PROPOSE
tions before us, said Mr.. X. First, the
Senate resolutions, instructing against any
modification of the Tariff of 1912, assert
ing in effect that ii was perfect, that it
needed no modification. The amend
ments Of the gentleman from Bedford,
Mr.. Piollet,) contains the same general
prlnci pies, the correctness of which cam
not be doubtcd-but there is something
more attached TO ii; it asserts that The
existing Tariff laws are unjust, une-
quail and oppressive. He should vote
for this amendment, he believed lis lam
guagc just. -d'
Mr.. X. denied that he was Free
Trade man, or that he was advocating
anti-Penn sylvania interests in opposing
defects in the Tariff of 1912. So far
from being free trade man, he was in
favor of protection in certain sense, but
he differed with many in this, that he
made revenue the principal, and protec-
ton the incident, whilst they made pro-
lection the principal, and revenue the in
cldent. The present Tariff amounted to
probitlon on certain articles, 81 he contend
cd that the prohibltive policy was no more
that of Pennsylvania, than it was that of
the Democracy of South Carolina, or the
Wings of Georgia.
Mr. X. then went into an examination
OF the manner in which the Tariff law of
AZ, had been formed, and asserted that we
have ii from the idol Of the Wing party,
that there may be defects in it. US
