Mr. HUNTER | think that the senator from Wis
consin will perceive that there is necessity for hs
amendment, even upon his views. This proposition
is oexlendihe period OF warehousing for
exporaon 10 three years. This does not nto
petition with the products oil bis section OF the country
for domestic supply at all And with regard TO storage
for three years for re-exportaon, il is not likely that
visions would DC stored Tor three years tbs OF the
most unlikely things ia the world.
Mr. CASS, tn his seat) That is precisely the remark
was intending TO make.
Mr. HUNTER. The only effect OF this amendment,
them is TO embarTass the bill II this amendment should
adopted other would al once move 10 except
other articles produced in their States, in which
their States are specially interested, and thus we should
destroy the whole.
Nj. WALKER did moi expect these articles 10 be
affected by tue provision IN the bill allowing withdrawal
within three years for expectation. | adverled 10 that
fact IN relation 10 the iree-trade policy proposed with
Canada | shall not enter into the subject now; the
time is too precious But this bill will have the effect
which stated, where the articles Withdrawn within
one year for consumption. This is exactly what is de-
sired by Canada that they may store their goods, and
always have the range OF one year TO avail themselves
OF the best market whether al home or abroad, and 10
come into competition with our own products.
Mr.. HUNTER, Qnlerposing) They must pay the
duty If the goods are Withdrawn.
Mr.. WALKER VI course, IN that case they would
pay The duty They ahead OF us in the spring. and
continue in the market longer in the fall and when
there is any rise in prices they can lake advantage Of
it, pay their dutes withdraw their goods, AID still
make profit. II is against allowing them that range
OF a whole year that desire this amendment to ope-
rate
MIA II am not very much mistaken his State, and
New York, who want these great repositories and
nearly the whole Of New England, built their railroads
OF iron upon which they paid no duties
Mr. BRADBURY The senator is mistaken with re-
gard to my State if he slpposes that the State OF Maine
has not paid dunes for the iron Tor her roads.
Mr. WALKER. Some of the roads in these States
may have been begun The ACT for the free mporta
ton OF iron was repealed but know that great many
roads commenced under the ACT, and paid duties
But when the manufacturers Of iron called for duty TO
protect Them the act was repealed. and we have never
had any protection op the government for our produce
Mr. DAVIS. VIII the senator allow me 10 say that
think the benefit OF that act went chiefly south and west
Most of our railroads, many of Them al least were
built before the act took efsci at all, and the larger poI
ton OF those which have been built since had no benefit
whatever. We protlted very little by that act
Mr. GWIN. do not want 10 keep up this debate but
want il distinctly understood that am mol only opposed
that intend, at the proper time and during this session,
to TO repeal all duties upon breadsuhs-a duties,
sir Do you suppose that ii is necessary that the farmers
OF the United States should have protection against Cana
da, against any portion OF the world! Why, sir, we
pay duties upon all the flour imported into California,
nearly We are paying an enormous and most oppressive
tax to the government for articles of consumption
intend TO bring that question 10 point and when there is
any hope Of success to move to repeal all duties upon
breadstus throughout the United Statss-apon iron. if
we get Il; but especially upon breadstufs.
