Wool.
The House went into Committee of the
Whole on the deficiency bill which calls for |
$G,25O,OOO.
Mr.. Brooks, of New York, took opportu- |
nifty by opposing the deficiency bill to speak |
of the coalition in the House between the /
iron interest and a portion of |
the Democratic side of the House. He |
sent to the clerks desk and had read a petit /
ton, which he said was one of the Lost |
petitions ever presented to the |
House, being petition from the wool man
ufacturers of New England, praying for the
removal of the duties on raw wool and btu
mmous coal, salt, iron and lumber required
for machinery, and promising in that event
that they would not only ask protection for
wOolen manufactures, but will raise the
wages of their wOrkmen. Ifthere was to
be any discrimination he was in favor of re-
ciyiug the wool manufacturers of New
England.
The bill was proceeded with until the
clause was reached repeating the law which
requires the publication of the laws in
newspapers. That being ruled out of order
ID the ground of its being general legisla-
ion, the committee rose and Garfield moved
% suspend the rules so as to make the bill
n order.
The House without taking vote OH Gar
ields motion, adjourned.
In taking the vote on adjournment great
confusion arose. The Speaker said the
condition of the House the last two
IfternOOns was a scandal to legislation.
