The debate which preceded the con firmstion
lasted nearly two hours, but developed moth
ing of fresh interest in regard to the main
points of the controversy
Speeches in favor of confirmation were
made by P. Hoar, Hawley, Brown and Davis,
and senators Pendleton, Vance, Morgan,
Van wick and Salisbury spoke in Opposition.
1t was commended, on the one hand, that the
commission had been unfairly construed, and
would reflect merely high protective tariff in
terests, while on the other hand
it was argued that the questions to be consid-
cred by the commission we're not theoretical,
but practical; that the purpose was not to de-
eide between the merits of free trade and pro.
lection, but simply to readjust the existing
system. The personal standing and qualifica-
tions of the various commissioners were also
discussed to some extent, but finally the ques-
tioR was taken on a motion to confirm the
commission as whole, and it was confirmed
by an unexpectedly large majority-31 against
81.
