HOUSE.
A bill for the distribution of 1000 breech-
loading rifles, and 200, 900 cartridges among the
settlers of Galatin valley and other exposed
localities in Montana, to enable them to repel
Indian raids was passed.
The House went irtO committee of the whole
on the tariff bill, and was addressed by Mr.
Maynard of Tennessee, on the protectionists'
side of the question.
Mr.. Kerr of Indiana, opposed the bill, but
should vote for it with proper amendments. He
denounced the ring in copper which has held
the price up to 45 cents a pound in New York,
while Mr.. Greedy demonstrated it could be pro-
duced at Is cents, as vile, scandalous, abomi-
nable conspiracy. The tariff on copper had
only produced $165 the last year, so the duty
was not imposed for revenue but for bounty,
robbery and plumber. There was no honesty in
it. What the country wanted was breaking
down, wiping out at once and forever of all
barriers and monopolies of the special privi-
leges and bounty arrangements made for inter-
ests of few people.
Mr.. Speer of Pennsylvania, opposed the bill,
expressing a desire for plotting out the whole
internal revenue system as oppressive inquisi-
tional and iniqutous.
The debate was further continued by Messrs.
Kellogg of Connecticut, and Storms of Penn
sylvania, both of whom favored the tariff du-
ties as against the internal revenue system,
which they wish abolished.
