The Senate bill authorizes the construc-
tion Of rcilrosd bridge across the Missisa-

eral law on the subject.
Mr.. KASs0N said he had introduced
provision, and had It referred to the Post
Office Committe, looking to the enactment
Of such general law, but had yielded his
views to those Of the Committee for two
reasons: first, that the authority to build .
bridge at KeOkuk, which he had in view,
was being attended to by gentleman from
that district. Mr. Wilson; second, becau-e
it might not be judicious for Congress to di--
vest itself of all control Of the matter Of
bridging the Mississippi.
Mr.. WILSON, Of Iowa, offered an amend.
ment authorizing the construction of rail-
road across the Mississippi at Keokuk,
which was agreed to.
Messrs. COBB and wASHBUREE, ofIll,

The tariff bill was then received from the

Mr.. FEsSENDEN--I move 10 take up the |
bill that has Just come from the House, and /
that it be printed and referred 10 the Com

Mr.. GRIMES moved to amend that mo

Mr.. FESSENDEN said If this bill il 70 be |
referred to the Committee for consl rnkions |
it is very Important it should be done at |
once. He said: wish to suggest one or 1
two observations in connection with the
motion have made. We ars now in the /
eighth month of q very long and ardaous /
session, and the members of this body have /
been laboriously engaged during that long /
period. This tariff bill which effects the
country and the interests of every man in
it, reaches US at this period, and / under
take to say that the members of this body
are not now prepared 10 enter upon the con
sideTstion and discussion Of such a subject |
as this, ehseting the vital interests Of the
country, as it does, at this time, and think
q bill, making such radical changers as this
should be laid g sufficient length |
Of time before the people, in order that there
may be some response from them as TO what
their judgment is respecting the merits
Of the proposition. Another reason why
think It should be postponed is that we
should give time to our Finance Committee,
The men who have charge Of our finances in
the Treasury Department, and to the people
Of the country themselves, 10 see what may
be the effect Of the internal revenue law re-
Gently passed. ] am convinced that that
law viii afford sufficient relief 10 all indus
trial interests sought to be protected by the
advocates Of the bill now on your table. |
understand from gentleman who has
made most thorough investigs stiOn-a gem
deman in whose judgment place most i'm
Dlicit confidence, that under the provisions
of the new tax bill there will be relief to the
interests Of Pennsylvania alone
10 the amount Of eighteen or twenty million
Of dollars on the articles Of coal, iron and
,teeL a-rf ~e,es .-tfefFeT
Another reason, Mr.. President, why de-
lire that this bill should be postponed is
hat we may know whether It will make
he change which some Of its advocates
claim It will effect in some sections Of the
country. We were told, as see by the
for was not present at the
line, that this was q northwestern Measure.
May be; but we have not bsen thus for able
% conceive il TO be that kind Of measure.
We want an opportunity to satisfy our con-
Itituents, if it is going TO be, to their ad-
vantage and if it is really going to
operate in that way at present. / might
