By Mr.. sehenek (0hio) directing the Secretary
! OF the Treasury and the Collector of Internal
| Revenue to Communicate their views and

By Mr.. Schumacher, requesting the Committee
| Of Ways and Means to inquire into the expedi-
| ency of so amending the Internal Revenue law
| as to repeal the provision in section nineteen OF
the act of March 2, 1867 which provides that nc
suitfor the purpose Of restraining the assessment
or collection of taxes shall be maintained in any
| court
The House then, at half-past o'clock, went
into Committee of the Whole, Mr.. Wheeler in
the chair, on the Tariff bill, and was addressed
declared that whilst in favor of tariff for reve
nue., he also desired to keep in view the judi
cious protection of the labor and industries o
| the country.
While doing this, he desired to reduce tn,
tariff on tea, Coffee sugar, and spices, articles
of daily use and necessity among all classes o
the people. The present tariff was pre-emi
nently revenue tariff, and had falsifled the pre-
| dietioDs of those who declared 1t to be prohibi
tory. 1t had increased the revenue, and hat
largely increased the prosperity of the country
| The protective system had developed hundred
of new industries and drawn thousands o
people from agricultural pursuits. The histor.
of the world proves no strictly agriculture
| people ever obtained great national prosperity
A few years since the State of New York i'm
ported agricultural products, and now exporte'
them largely.
Not only States of the East, but all the West
ern and Southern States were s0ttlng in motion
the spinning jenny and the loom, lighting NJ
the fires of forge and furnace, opening up
great variety of mechanical and manufacturing
Industries, and developing their material re
sources, and until the home demand and hom
supply produced parallel of results and pros
perity equally through the land this protectiv
| policy was plain, practical common sense.
