voice Of the gentleman from Pennsylvania tMr.
Moorhead) had been omnipotent in arresting sthe

He intimated that there would appear to be some
gentleman from Ohio lMr. lawrence who yester-
day offered resolution looking to the driving
city city Of + New York. T would M be shown in this con.
nection that nearly $500 900 had been contributed by

amendment as bearing upon the shipbuilding inter-

MT. MAySARp, uepl OF Tenn, opposed the amend
Mr.. PHELPS, (rep.) OF No., offered an amendment
allowing drawback OF duty on imported copper,
where smelling establishments give bonds TO use
two OF copper mined In the United States to
every ton OF imported ore lie advocated the amend
men arguing that It was necessary for the success
OF copper smelting establishments.
Mr.. KELLEY, trep) OF Pa. said that Pennsylvania
had no copper interests 10 subserve. There were
copper interests however, to be protected In Mich-
gan, Virginia, Tennessee and Alabama, and there
was not protection enough now 10 develop those IN
terests Under this bill, however all the varieties
OF copper necessary for smelling would be pro-
duced.
Mr. DRrGos, lrep.) OF Mich, argued in support OF
the proposed increase OF duty. Out OF about one
hundred mines In the state OF Michigan there were
only eleven In operation, for want Of protection. IL
smelling establishments In Baltimore could not live
without running the copper interests of the United
states they should retire from the business.
Mr.. TwIrCHELI. (rep.l OF Mass, moved 10 add q
proviso that copper USED In The manufacture OF
sells shall be admitted free OF duty.
Mr.. ALLISON, (rep.l OF Iowa, opposed the amend
ment offered by Mr.. Phelps and argued that ~ no
manufactured copper was introduced into the coun-
try the copper manufacturing establishments at Bal
tmore and elsewhere had an absolute monopoly;
there was therefore necessity for an Increased
duty on manufactures OF copper. lie did not
admit that there was any greater propriety
in allowing drawbacks In favor OF the snpbuilding
