Wednesday, III The consideration OF the
amended tariff bill, came To that part
which treated OF the tariff on lumber
and strange to say passed it by without
change, Notwithstanding the fact that
our timber land is gradually growing
more circumscribed and lumber rising
in value. The southern free traders did
not make an issue on the lumber tariff,
but joined hands with the lumbermen
of the Northwest in retaining the duty
of one dollar u Thousand on all white
and hard woods, and rwo dollars a
thousand on all spruce, pine and soft
lumber Self interest seems to have
been at the bottom of this vote on the
tariff on lumber, as il was on the tariff
on other articles already passed upon
In view of the forests ofyellow pine that
exists in the Southern States, southern
members of Congress for once threw
aside their free trade dogmaS and voted
to continue the tariff on lumber though
1t favored the wholesale destruction Of
American forests.
Forest preservation, as n national
question, must soon occupy public at
tention. The fatal inroadS that have
the North Atlantic region bids fair To
