they will allow this cfit to be given; and, wheth
the tariff be modified or not, let the people take
the chance of the benefit of any changes which may
be made in their favor. If not, we SHALL at any
rate, get the money when We want it. 1t is not
needed now / hope that all who are favorable to
the proposition will assist me in relieving railroad
companies of the duties upon ron If the bill goes
to the Committee of the Whole on the state of the
Uuion or the Committee on Ways and Means, we
will never reach it. hope all who for relief in
any form, will come up at this time, and help to pass
this as temporary measure leaving the question
of repeal or reduction of duties to be investigated
hereafter. l therefore move the previous question
Mr. HousToN. / ask the gentleman if he will not
withdraw the demand for the previous question, in
order that I may suggest slight modification of
his bill? The gentlemans argument is, that within
the last eighteen months or two years great rise
has taken place III the price of railroad iron. The
railroads in my own State, and particularly the rail-
road in my own district have been importing and
paying duties within the last twelve or eighteen
months, and desire to have them relieved by the
same process by which others arc relieved.
Mr. CLISGMAN. The railroads of which the gen.
tleman speaks arc in tiae same condition with some
of my own State that have already paid The bill
which have introduced, however, covers all cases
where duties arc not paid, this being as much as
suppose it practicable to accomplish.
Mr.. JONES of Tennessee. move to lay the bill
upon the table. am opposed to this manner Of re-
ducing the tariff.
