Mr. Mckay offered resolution to end de-
bate on the Tariff on Tuesday, the 30th June,
| 1916, at O'Clock, and moved the previous
question, which however, he withdrew for
| Mr.. Houston, of Ala, who moved TO amend
by making it Saturday, the 27th June, and cal
led the previous question.
| Mr.. Pollock, OF Pa, moved that the resolu'
ton and amendment be laid on the table, which
was carried by yeas SO TO nays 66.
On motion Of Mr.. Mckay, the House went
into Committee OF the Whole Oh the Tariff,
Mr.. Bryan R. Young, OF Ky, made speech
in support Of the Tariff of 1912, and against
the proposed reduction. He argued that a
protective tariff reduced prices, and benefited
the country generally. He argued that the
low tariff of ISIS produced great distress IN
Pennsylvania in 1919, and that the high tariffs
Of 1924 and 1925 had produced great Pfosperl-
ty, when he was interrupted by
Mr. Brodhead of Pa, who said that the ia
riff Of 1915 had mad nothing to do with the
distress in Pennsylvania in 1919, which had
been caused by paper money-the legislature
having chartered 40 in one act.
Mr. Robert Dale Owen, of Indiana, sue
, ceeded Mr.. Young and made a very excellent
argumentary speech against the protective
polcy-a policy which he said it was impossi-
bic to sustain, and he called upon the wings to
remember that reforms never went backwards
that they had defeated the tariff offered at
the last Congress and now they had one pro-
posing more radical change than that-let
them defeat this and the next would be more
radical still. Now they had chance Of Sc
curing discrimination below certain rate
! nay even to secure protecton-but allow ii to
pass and they would lose all. MIR. Owen was
listened to with great attention and regard
by all who were in the House.
Mr.. Colin, of New York, read speech in
favor of modification Of the Tariff.
While Mr.. c, was reading his speech, mes
sage was received from the Senate requesting
! a Conference Committee on the Amendment to
the Indian Appropriation Bill.
Mr., Chapman, of Michigan, followed in
somewhat violent speech in opposition to the
Tariff of 1912, niggerlsms and some other
isms.
Mr.. Ramsey, of Pennsylvania, followed in
support of the Tariff of lS42, particularly that
feature fit which protects coal.
The Tariff Bill was then laid aside, and seve-
raj bills respecting presumption land claims were
taken up, read and laid aside TO be reported tc
the House.
The Committee rose and reported the bills
when, a quorum not beng present, the House
adjourned.
