PRIVATE BONDED WAREHOUSES;.
The Senate then resumed the consideration in COM
mee Of the whole of Senate bill No SAL to extend the
warehousing system by establishing private bonded
warehouses, and for other purposes.
| Mr.. HUNTER. am very anxious TO dispose of TINS
bill to-day. II is not my purpose 10 make speech IN
favor OF IT. because know may be killed quite as read
lily by speeches in favor by speeches against as Tune
as be consumed in either case. know that the time
of The Senate is preUious and in order that may con.
as little OF possible in relation TO this bill II L
ind that The provision which Is the only one which mas
yet given 10 objections here still considered obec-
onable shall be prepared TO give way upon that point
IN order TO carry through the other provisions that Will be
beneficial 10 But | regard the provision to
which objection has been raised so important that am
not willing to abandon IT without some struggle; and
wish, therefore. for just five minutes to present TO the
Senate reply TO the urged by the honorable
senator from New Jersey Mr.. MiLLERl in regard to it,
will say al the time, that II the opposition, al
though minority, shall still be unwilling TO suffer this
bill pass without modification OF that provision,
| will submit TO that modification in order TO get the
other provisions passed. eservng 10 myself the enance
al the next session 10 bring up that provision, and urge
il upon the Senate when have more time TO do SO.

New Jersey [Mr. MmLERl is wrong in supposiDg that
this extension could operate any way TO the prejudice
OF the manufacturing interests OF the country he says

credit system relation TO du,es and because we al

weud cay that this very different from the old credit
system Under the old credit system the duties not
paid until the goods purchased for consumption and
taken out OF the warehouse But under the system pro-
posed here the duties must be paid upon the goods be-
fore they be passed into the market for consumption,
and therefore il make but little difference, lar as
that question is concerned whether have warehouse

practice of storing goods would be peludical to manu-
acurers, because would enable foreigners TO Hood our
markets with goods at time when those goods are about
to rise in value Why, sir il he will look little at this
very thing that manufacturers desire 40 earnestly
that is sieadness OF prices When prices low. II will
be for the interest of those who hold goods to store them
for the purpose OF keeping them until prices have increas

level as they would otherwise do. When prices are high
