Logan said, to prevent pledging
pension certificates in any way.
The tariff bill was then taken up,
and Hill made an argument to
| show that as long as there remained
any portion of interest bearing
debt, payable at our pleasure, it was
absurd to say the public revenues
were excessive, or that there was
a surplus.
Bayard gave notice that at the
proper time he would move to strike
out the provisions of the bill per-
hitting sales by tobacco producers

amount of 500 annually, because
he believed it would interfere seri-
ously with the proper collection Of
the tax.
Allison moved to strike out the
provision in the bill authorizing
producers to sell tobacco at retail at
the place of production to the
