ton on May, 1883.
A discussion sprung up as to the order OF
business, Senator Butler endeavoring to cali
up the bill establishing q government for
Alaska, Senator GroOme asking the senate to
consider the proposition to prevent an cpl.
demic of double pensions, while Senator Nor
rill antagonized both measures with the In
ternal revenue bill.
had no disposition to oppose any measure for
the reduction Of taxes, but would stay here a.
long as necessary In order to accomplish that
end, but the gentleman from Vermont would
find that when, after several months, he first
brought in bill for the reduction of taxes,
and limited 1t in such a way as to be q
special act OF favoritism, to particular inter-
able to bring it up and put 1t through with
out free discussion and amendment. The
bill would be taken up with the free and
ready consent of the Democratic side but not
until the proper time, and when II was taken
up the Democrats would 60 as far In the way
OF advancing taxation as the gentleman and 60
him better.
Senator Sherman asserted that If congress-
adjourned (whether weather was hot or c0ld)
without reducing taxation, it would be dere-
lict in its highest duty. There was no senti.
ment IN the country stronger to-day, than
that congress had already been negligent In
not repeating taxes obnoxious in themselves
and unnecessary for the support OF the gov.
eminent For one he was determined that
neglect should not be at his door. There was
no other bill on the calendar that could COM
pare with it in Importance and from to-day to
the end of the session he would press its con-
sideration.
Senator Window expressed his astonish-
ment at the position taken by the Democrats
in the pending discussion. They stood here
and resisted the reduction of the tariff, and
they would find the thermometer good deal
higher than ninety four degrees when they
Senator Beck denied that he wat opposed
to the consideration of any proposition to re-
duce taxation The hOuee bill had been SO
disreputably small, so evidently In the interest
OF small class, and not OF the masses OF the
people, and so ridiculous that the Republican
party had not dared to go before the country
with such miserable proposition and such
pretense of relief, and caucus had been
alarmed into slight reduction of the tariff.
Senator Van WICK, while expressing his
desire to consider the tax bill commended that
it should be postponed until some OF the less
important measures on the calendar should be
agreed to.
Senator Butler ridiculed the bill and said,
while he was one of those Democrats silly
enough to vote for tariff commission, he be-
leved now it was a pretense and sham for the
purpose of delay.
Senator Windom--Does the senator consider
bungling on this bill an evidence Of delay?
Senator Butler-Oh, the senator has no more
OF idea giving real relief under this bill than
the man in the moon and he knows it.
Senator Windom-I do not know any such
thing.
Senator Morrill, here moved to postpone the
consideration OF all pending orders until one
week from to-day. After debate the motion
was agreed to and the senate took up the tax
bill.
Senator VOORHEES, Qnd) made long speech
in the course of which he said he had letter
written by Gen. Hancock In explanation of
his views upon the tariff in which be declared
free trade to be felly. Had 1t been written
three weeks before election and circulated
throughout Indiana, Hancock would be
elected president and American history would
be far differently recorded. In conclusion he
delivered, an eloquent peroration upon the
magnificent future which WINS open to the
country, and especially to the Southern states,
whose natural wealth had hardly been dis
turbed by the touch of man. The tariff policy
which he advocated was one which would
make Southern people self reliant and indie
dependent and which would better the condi-
ton OF all classes.
After an executive session adjourned.
