Passnge OF che Tarill BIN IN the House.

final vote, as made by the New York Tribune
was far beneath the real strength OF the friends
of the measure. Instead of q majority of ten, as
was prophesied the final ballot stood-Yeas, "a; /;
nays, So. II is a matter of interest to know how
the various sections of the country stand on this
vital measure in our political system. We will,
therefore, seek to give an analysis of the vote as
furnished by the Associated Press. The Penn
sylvania delegation stood:-Ayes - Anoond,
Barker, Boyer, Cofroh Da1son, johnson,
Kelley, Lawrence, Mercur, Miller, Moorhead,
Myers, 0'Neill, Randall, schofeld, Srouse,
Thayer. Williams, and Wilson-l9.
2 Nays-A. j. GLossbrenner-1.
- Absent-Culver DeniSon, Stevens-3.
Paired-John M. Broomall--l.
1t will thus be seen that the only man who
voted against the interest of the State was Mr..
GLossBBENNER, the Democratic member from
York, and exeditor of the Age OF this city. The
sOlldity with which the delegation stand together
is good evidence OF that unanimity OF feeling
which exists in our Commonwealth in favor of
high protective tariff. Of the absentees, Mr..
STEVENS was i'll, Mr. CULVER was in prison
because OF the failure OF CULVER PENN & Co.,
and Mr.. DENIsoN has yet to be accounted for.
1t was anticipated yesterday that Illinois,
Indiana, and Iowa would vote solid against
the bill. Iowa demands such immense conces.
siOns from Pennsylvania as to render the bene.
fclal operations OF the whole bill null and
void. When the final vote was taken Illinois
stood In the attitude she promised: none OF her
members voted in its iavor-twelve opposed it
and two were absent. Indiana stood seven in
opposition and three not voung, while Iowa
was equally divided three OF her delegates favor.
ing and three opposing the bill. The New England
members, without single exception, favored It's
passage. All of the opposition which it was
compelled TO encounter came from the West and
New York. The Iowa members were secured
by a compromise effected IN regard to coal,
but all efforts to conciiate Indiana or Illinois
utterly failed. The gross inconsistency of the
course taken by some of the members is remark
able. They spoke in committees in favor of the
most rigorous tariff, yet when the bill came up,
even in modified form, they appeared ON the
opposite side. The utter defeat given In the
House, however, Will not be forgotten by Eng
lish tree-traders and their sympathizers.
The Tribune this morning gives an interesting
sketch OF the great struggle on the final passage,
which is so entertaining that we give 1t entlre:-
"The House. dispensing with the reaoIng or the
journal and refusing time to al other business took
up the tariff and opened debate the most import.

Congress, the solution OF the question, whether the
right of the people OF The United States 10 do their
own work shall be Z cog nzed and sustained by their
Government or shall be exposed TO a ruinous com.
petition with the accumulated capital and pauper
labor OF Europe.
"WENTwoRTH, of Illinois, began the debate by
reading o speech htty minutes long. Strange to say
he Is the most difficult man to hear from the re-
porters gallery OF all on the floor. Enough of his
speech could be distinguished 10 determIue that he
advocated the tull rates conceded the hill all
the agricultural products OF the West especially TO
wool and haAseed. There were enough sldestaos at
other portions of the bill to leave the i'm preston
that he deemed them to be excessive and felt that
the rates should be revised, always excepting, iOt
course, those that are IN favor OF the West

impressive and superb in orat0ry and logic.
