Mr.. Hunter, ofVa., called up the bill author
izing loan Of fifteen millions Of dollars by the
Secretary of the Treasury. He advocated its
passage, in the expectation that in some months
trade would regain its activity and the revenue
berevived. Even at present the rates show a
surplus provided economy be used in the ad-
ministratiOn of the government.
Mr.. Wilson, OF Mass, replied, showing that
Mr.. Hunters estimates for the coming revenue
were exaggerated and that the actual probabili-
ties are that it will not exceed fifty five millions,
which the expenditure being seventy five mil

ought to be fully revived if we mean to adhere
to it; bnt ifw mean togo free trade and d.
rect taxation let it be done understandipgly, not
bE temporising loans, serving as step in that

Mr. Hunter disclaimed any tendency towards
such result, and defended the present tariff as
ample for the public expenditures.
