facto, although somewhat trammclled by
the Senate amendments which were concur
red In by the House, notwithstanding its

were glad to wipe it from the calendar.

when tho cxtinguishmcnt OF tho national
debt and the development of the resources
Of our country win bc the main object Of
legislation. Two systems arc proposed,
each with their cxponcnts and adyocatcs-the
Tariff Reform and Free Tradc-the latter of
