Converse condemned the disregard of
| rules in connection with A bill. embracing
every material interest of the country, and
which the house was called TO vote upon
without its ever being read
IL was unwise legislation. The people
had lived under the present tariff twenty
years, and could live under it for another
year, ltwaS unwise legislation as well 20.
liticaty as otherwise. One OF the large in
teres,s OF his state, wool, was being Sacri-
heed under the report. II the bll were
passed, the people OF Ohio would begin agi-
tauon anu keep up that agitation until the
evil was remedied.
Springer said this bill, on Tuesday last,
was taken from the speakers table and the
senate amendments uon-ooncurred in, hut
through the operation OF u rule adopted by
I evolutionary and unparliamentary
methods ON "Wednesday, one OF the house
eonierees declined. ON Thursday two of the
senate coniereeS declined, and second
/ committee was completed ON Thursday
afternoon. On Friday yesterday the con-
fereuoes made repor, 10 the senate, and il
only reached the house this morning at
10 o'clock. To-day the house could
have but four hours for deliberaton,
Including the reading OF the bill, which re-
lquited nearly two hours and which was It's
first reading In the house, With their
vote upon n bill which imposes tax Gf
over 2O0,0lO,0O year, which the govern.
ment gets, and as a direct incident of its
protective feature, an additional burden of
1T least $500 1000, which the people must
pay in increased cost of manufactured atti-
cleS. The representatives of the people
have not made this bill, but they must vote
ON il In the dark, without knowing its ei-
feet, or even its provisions. lie could not,
aud would not doit
Darrell ayowed himself in strait, He
was compelled to vote for this bill, and yet
he yielded to the conclusion with the ut
most reluctance. II was no such bill as the
American people had right to expect or
which the interests of the people had clearly
and unmistakably demanded. The house
was making u leap In the dark, and was
about TO vote on bill which had
not been considered In committee
OF the whole. The bill did not meet his ap.
proDation, and yet because of some OF its
provisions he would vote Tor it, but only
under the mSst solemn protest. lftho re-
publicans of the house had the courage,
pluck and the manhood to have taken $2o,
UO,00O oil OF sugar and $lO,0O0OO0 oil OF
steel rails at tho last session, they would
not be here to-day witnessing the income of
a democratic administration of this house.
Bayne expressed entire approval with
the first portion OF the bill, that reducing
internal revenue taxes, but the sections Ol
the bill relating to tariff matters contained
some very grieyOus defects. The present
law was better than the one now proposed
! Under the present law, importation was
vast and extended Under the new
law, importation would be still
greater aud instead of accomplishing
the end proposed by legislation IL would
increase the revenue, The consequences
would be two fold; they would be 10 depletc
the country Of precious metals, and reduce
the wages OF laborers because the manutac
lures OF the country would be diminished
: Peelle, while expressing his disapprova
of certain portions ofthe bill, sail he would
support 1t ms response TO the demands o
the people for tariff revision and of reduC
tion of internal revenue taxation.
Anderson characterized NJ an iutamou,
outrage this proposition to take S35 900 00(
off luxunes and only $ll ,000,0 Oft sugar
but he would vote for IT because IL reduced
taxation $4,000 600; but he would do 4
with the distinct understanding that In th,
next congress ho would endeavor TO gel
